• Schedule 1 Patch Notes Includes Off-Road Skateboard

    Schedule 1, the silly-looking drug-dealing game that took the gaming community by storm a few months back, got a new patch today, and it's headlined by the addition of an off-road skateboard. It also includes some bug fixes, tweaks, and improvements, such as a change to how stamina is consumed while skateboarding.The off-road skateboard is added to the inventory on sale at the Shred Shack, where it'll cost you While minor in the grand scheme of things, it lets you live out your mountain-boarding dreams. If you're of a certain age, it might even let you reminisce about the mountain-board levels in Rocket Power: Beach Bandits for the PS2.This patch also tweaks a couple of other skateboarding-related things. First, the developer notes that it implemented some minor changes for skateboard animations. Second, stamina consumption while on a skateboard has changed from instantaneous to gradual, which will likely smooth out the skateboarding experience.Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • Windows' Blue Screen Of Death Is Dead, Long Live Black Screen Of Death

    Windows users will dread the familiar sight of the Blue Screen of Deathwhenever they encounter an error. But after nearly 40 years, Microsoft will be retiring this infamous error message, or rather giving it a new color.The company has redesigned the error screen to what will soon be known as the Black Screen of Death. Compared to the current screen, which includes a frowning emoticon and sometimes a QR code, this black screen is more simplified, listing the stop code and faulty system driver.In an interview with The Verge, Microsoft's vice president of enterprise and OS security David Weston said, “This is really an attempt on clarity and providing better information and allowing us and customers to really get to what the core of the issue is so we can fix it faster. Part of it is just cleaner information on what exactly went wrong, where it’s Windows versus a component.”Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • Ah, California! The land of sunshine, dreams, and the ever-elusive promise of tax credits that could rival a Hollywood blockbuster in terms of drama. Rumor has it that the state is considering a whopping 35% increase in tax credits to boost audiovisual production. Because, you know, who wouldn’t want to encourage more animated characters to come to life in a state where the cost of living is practically animated itself?

    Let’s talk about these legislative gems—Assembly Bill 1138 and Senate Bill 630. Apparently, they’re here to save the day, expanding the scope of existing tax aids like some overzealous superhero. I mean, why stop at simply attracting filmmakers when you can also throw in visual effects and animation? It’s like giving a kid a whole candy store instead of a single lollipop. Who can say no to that?

    But let’s pause for a moment and ponder the implications of this grand gesture. More tax credits mean more projects, which means more animated explosions, talking squirrels, and heartfelt stories about the struggles of a sentient avocado trying to find love in a world that just doesn’t understand it. Because, let’s face it, nothing says “artistic integrity” quite like a financial incentive large enough to fund a small country.

    And what do we have to thank for this potential windfall? Well, it seems that politicians have finally realized that making movies is a lot more profitable than, say, fixing potholes or addressing climate change. Who knew? Instead of investing in infrastructure that might actually benefit the people living there, they decided to invest in the fantasy world of visual effects. Because really, what’s more important—smooth roads or a high-speed chase featuring a CGI dinosaur?

    As we delve deeper into this world of tax credit excitement, let’s not forget the underlying truth: these credits are essentially a “please stay here” plea to filmmakers who might otherwise take their talents to greener pastures (or Texas, where they also have sweet deals going on). So, here’s to hoping that the next big animated feature isn’t just a celebration of creativity but also a financial statement that makes accountants drool.

    So get ready, folks! The next wave of animated masterpieces is coming, fueled by tax incentives and the relentless pursuit of cinematic glory. Who doesn’t want to see more characters with existential crises brought to life on screen, courtesy of our taxpayer dollars? Bravo, California! You’ve truly outdone yourself. Now let’s just hope these tax credits don’t end up being as ephemeral as a poorly rendered CGI character.

  • Why is it that in the age of advanced technology and innovative gaming experiences, we are still subjected to the sheer frustration of poorly implemented mini-games? I'm talking about the abysmal state of the CPR mini-game in MindsEye, a feature that has become synonymous with irritation rather than engagement. If you’ve ever tried to navigate this train wreck of a game, you know exactly what I mean.

    Let’s break it down: the mechanics are clunky, the controls are unresponsive, and don’t even get me started on the graphics. This is 2023; we should expect seamless integration and fluid gameplay. Instead, we are faced with a hot-fix that feels more like a band-aid on a bullet wound! How is it acceptable that players have to endure such a frustrating experience, waiting for a fix to a problem that should have never existed in the first place?

    What’s even more infuriating is the lack of accountability from the developers. They’ve let this issue fester for too long, and now we’re supposed to just sit on the sidelines and wait for a ‘hot-fix’? How about some transparency? How about acknowledging that you dropped the ball on this one? Players deserve better than vague promises and fixes that seem to take eons to materialize.

    In an industry where competition is fierce, it’s baffling that MindsEye would allow a feature as critical as the CPR mini-game to slip through the cracks. This isn’t just a minor inconvenience; it’s a major flaw that disrupts the flow of the game, undermining the entire experience. Players are losing interest, and rightfully so! Why invest time and energy into something that’s clearly half-baked?

    And let’s talk about the community feedback. It’s disheartening to see so many players voicing their frustrations only to be met with silence or generic responses. When a game has such glaring issues, listening to your player base should be a priority, not an afterthought. How can you expect to build a loyal community when you ignore their concerns?

    At this point, it’s clear that MindsEye needs to step up its game. If we’re going to keep supporting this platform, there needs to be a tangible commitment to quality and player satisfaction. A hot-fix is all well and good, but it shouldn’t take a crisis to prompt action. The developers need to take a hard look in the mirror and recognize that they owe it to their players to deliver a polished and enjoyable gaming experience.

    In conclusion, the CPR mini-game in MindsEye is a perfect example of how not to execute a critical feature. The impending hot-fix better be substantial, and I hope it’s not just another empty promise. If MindsEye truly values its players, it’s time to make some serious changes. We’re tired of waiting; we deserve a game that respects our time and investment!

  • Is it just me, or does the phrase "Quick Tip: A Better Wet Shader" sound like the latest buzz from a trendy café, where the barista is more interested in his art than the coffee? I mean, who would have thought that the secret to stunning visuals in Blender would come down to a clearcoat? It’s almost as if John Mervin, that brave pioneer of pixelated perfection, stumbled upon the holy grail of rendering while driving—because, you know, multitasking is all the rage these days!

    Let's take a moment to appreciate the genius of recording tutorials while navigating rush hour traffic. Who needs a calm, focused environment when you could be dodging potholes and merging lanes? I can just picture it: "Okay, folks, today we're going to add a clearcoat to our wet shader... but first, let’s avoid this pedestrian!" Truly inspiring.

    But back to the world of wet shaders. Apparently, the key to mastering the art of sheen is just slapping on a clearcoat and calling it a day. Why bother with the complexities of light diffusion, texture mapping, or even the nuances of realism when you can just... coat it? It's like serving a gourmet meal and then drowning it in ketchup—truly a culinary masterpiece!

    And let’s not forget the vast potential here. If adding a clearcoat is revolutionary, imagine the untapped possibilities! Why not just throw in a sprinkle of fairy dust and call it a magical shader? Or better yet, how about a “drive-by” tutorial series that teaches us how to animate while on a rollercoaster? The future of Blender tutorials is bright—especially if you’re driving towards it at 80 mph!

    After all, who needs to focus on the intricacies of shader creation when we can all just slap on a clearcoat and hope for the best? The art of 3D rendering has clearly reached a new zenith. So, to all the aspiring Blender wizards out there, remember: clearcoat is your best friend, and traffic lights are merely suggestions.

    In conclusion, if you ever find yourself needing a quick fix in Blender, just remember—there’s nothing a good clearcoat can’t solve. Just don’t forget to keep your eyes on the road; after all, we wouldn’t want you to miss a tutorial while mastering the art of shaders on the go!
