It's beautiful. Those mountains in particular are excellent.

Is it Holland?

Idyllic: suitable for or suggestive of an idyll; charmingly simple or rustic.

Create a scene from paradise. Originality is encouraged, but a classic remains a classic.

Deadline: 23 November 2020

Voting:

Concept: Your background should tell us something about the place you have depicted.
Playability: Does it have clearly defined walkable areas, things to interact with, etc?
Artistic Execution: Does the image convey the wanted atmosphere? What's the feeling of the place?

Yes, fantastic models and materials there, Phemar. Is it a single or multi-player map? It makes me feel high from no sleep, remembering LAN parties. :)

Anyway, look at this bitch from Germany, not even mentioning that he got published on BlenderNation: Behind the Scenes: Simon Stålenhag's Parking Lot Scene

The engine works great on linux, and the editor can now compile a linux version for you by just enabling a setting, though on some distros like arch I've had reports of the audio not working. The editor doesn't have support for linux, though, only windows.

I've not personally released an AGS game on android, but it is an option. eri0o has released some android games, to my knowledge the android support is solid.

Yes, but it does not matter any more.

The origins of these rituals are interesting, which parts are kept, and which are forgotten. What it turns into, and what it turns the world into.

Quote from: WikipediaSamhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker half" of the year. It is held on 1 November, but with celebrations beginning on the evening of 31 October, as the Celtic day began and ended at sunset. This is about halfway between the autumn equinox and winter solstice. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Imbolc, Beltaine and Lughnasa. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man (where it is called 'Sauin'). A similar festival was held by the Brittonic Celts, called Calan Gaeaf in Wales, Kalan Gwav in Cornwall, and Kalan Goañv in Brittany.

Traditionally, Samhain was a time to take stock of the herds and food supplies. Cattle were brought down to the winter pastures after six months in the higher summer pastures. It was also the time to choose which animals would be slaughtered. This custom is still observed by many who farm and raise livestock.

Samhain was seen as a liminal time, when the boundary between this world and the Otherworld could more easily be crossed.

General Discussion / Re: The Joker

I saw this over the weekend and was unexpectedly impressed. Entertainment is largely garbage these days, so it was surprising to find this more or less realistic dramatisation of how a villain like the joker might come about.

And in many ways it's something that could only be made now, with superhero stuff having already oversaturated entertainment, and with society going through massive upheavals, in no small part due to directionless young men.

Given the popularity of the Clown Pepe lately, I expected a very different kind of clown, but here again I was surprised. If I didn't know any better I would call it prophetic.

Pretty lame, TBH.

This is one of my favourites. An oldie but a goodie.

Spoiler because it's tall.

Thanks for that nice dumpster, and all the votes. :)

Who got the other places?

It's quite nice, but very short.

I guess I'm not the first one to tell you that. ;)

Wow, I was going to post Voyager, but I couldn't find the shot I had saved. This is from the Fairhaven arc. Excellent show, it can proudly stand next to TNG.

Jack are you Chernobyling again?

Maybe :)

Best show of the last 10 years, in my opinion.
