    Whether a seasoned Vault Hunter or new to the mayhem of Pandora, prepare to experience the high-octane action and humor that define the series that includes Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced, Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
    Members can explore it all before the highly anticipated Borderlands 4 arrives in the cloud at launch.
    In addition, leap into the flames and save the day in the pulse-pounding FBC: Firebreak from Remedy Entertainment on GeForce NOW.
    It’s all part of the 13 new games in the cloud this week, including the latest Genshin Impact update and advanced access for REMATCH.
    Plus, GeForce NOW’s Summer Sale is still in full swing. For a limited time, get 40% off a six-month GeForce NOW Performance membership — perfect for diving into role-playing game favorites like the Borderlands series or any of the 2,200 titles in the platform’s cloud gaming library.
    Vault Hunters Assemble
    Gear up for a world where loot is king and chaos is always just a trigger pull away. The Borderlands series is known for its wild humor, outrageous characters and nonstop action — and now, its chaotic adventures can be streamed on GeForce NOW.
    Welcome to Pandora.
    Members revisiting the classics or jumping in for the first time can start with Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced, the original mayhem-fueled classic now polished and packed with downloadable content. The title brings Pandora to life with a fresh coat of paint, crazy loot and the same iconic humor that started it all.
    New worlds, same chaos.
    In Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack steals the show with his mix of charm and villainy. This sequel cranks up the fun and insanity with unforgettable characters and a zany storyline. For more laughs and even wilder chaos, Borderlands 3 delivers the biggest loot explosion yet, with new worlds to explore. Face off against the Calypso twins and enjoy nonstop action.
    The rise of Handsome Jack.
    The adventure blasts off with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, revealing how Handsome Jack became so handsome. The game throws in zero gravity, moon boots and enough sarcasm to fuel a spaceship.
    Jump in with GeForce NOW and get ready to laugh, loot and blast through Pandora, all from the cloud. With instant access and seamless streaming at up to 4K resolution with an Ultimate membership, enter the chaos of Borderlands anytime, anywhere. No downloads, no waiting.
    Suit Up, Clean Up
    The Oldest House needs you.
    Step into the shoes of the Federal Bureau of Control’s elite first responders in the highly anticipated three-player co-op first-person shooter FBC: Firebreak. Taking place six years after Control, the game is set in the Oldest House — under siege by reality-warping threats. It’s up to players to restore order before chaos wins.
    Equip unique Crisis Kits packed with weapons, specialized tools and paranatural augments, like a garden gnome that summons a thunderstorm or a piggy bank that spews coins. As each mission, or “Job,” drops players into unpredictable environments with shifting objectives, bizarre crises and wacky enemies, teamwork and quick thinking are key.
    Jump into the fray with friends and stream it on GeForce NOW instantly across devices. Experience the mind-bending action and stunning visuals powered by cloud streaming. Contain the chaos, save the Oldest House and enjoy a new kind of co-op adventure, all from the cloud.
    No Rules Included
    Score big laughs in the cloud.
    REMATCH gives soccer a bold twist, transforming the classic sport into a fast-paced, third-person action experience where every player controls a single athlete on the field.
    With no fouls, offsides or breaks, matches are nonstop and skills-based, demanding quick reflexes and seamless teamwork. Dynamic role-switching lets players jump between attack, defense and goalkeeping, while seasonal updates and various multiplayer modes keep the competition fresh and the action intense.
    Where arcade flair meets tactical depth, REMATCH is football, unleashed. Get instant access to the soccer pitch by streaming the title on GeForce NOW and jump into the action wherever the match calls.
    Time To Game
    Skirk has arrived.
    Genshin Impact’s next major update launches this week, and members can stream the latest adventures from Teyvat at GeForce quality on any device. Version 5.7 includes the new playable characters Skirk and Dahlia — as well as fresh story quests and the launch of a Stygian Onslaught combat mode.

  • Are we seriously still talking about lip balms in 2025 that fail to deliver? The sheer absurdity of needing to slather on more lip balm after using a supposedly "top pick" is infuriating! If your product requires constant reapplication, it clearly isn't doing its job! Why are we settling for mediocrity in something as basic as lip care? It's high time the industry wakes up and realizes that we deserve better! Don't let marketing gimmicks fool you; we need lip balms that truly hydrate, not just temporary fixes!

  • In a world where we’re all desperately trying to make our digital creations look as lifelike as a potato, we now have the privilege of diving headfirst into the revolutionary topic of "Separate shaders in AI 3D generated models." Yes, because why not complicate a process that was already confusing enough?

    Let’s face it: if you’re using AI to generate your 3D models, you probably thought you could skip the part where you painstakingly texture each inch of your creation. But alas! Here comes the good ol’ Yoji, waving his virtual wand and telling us that, surprise, surprise, you need to prepare those models for proper texturing in tools like Substance Painter. Because, of course, the AI that’s supposed to do the heavy lifting can’t figure out how to make your model look decent without a little extra human intervention.

    But don’t worry! Yoji has got your back with his meticulous “how-to” on separating shaders. Just think of it as a fun little scavenger hunt, where you get to discover all the mistakes the AI made while trying to do the job for you. Who knew that a model could look so… special? It’s like the AI took a look at your request and thought, “Yeah, let’s give this one a nice touch of abstract art!” Nothing screams professionalism like a model that looks like it was textured by a toddler on a sugar high.

    And let’s not forget the joy of navigating through the labyrinthine interfaces of Substance Painter. Ah, yes! The thrill of clicking through endless menus, desperately searching for that elusive shader that will somehow make your model look less like a lumpy marshmallow and more like a refined piece of art. It’s a bit like being in a relationship, really. You start with high hopes and a glossy exterior, only to end up questioning all your life choices as you try to figure out how to make it work.

    So, here we are, living in 2023, where AI can generate models that resemble something out of a sci-fi nightmare, and we still need to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty with shaders and textures. Who knew that the future would come with so many manual adjustments? Isn’t technology just delightful?

    In conclusion, if you’re diving into the world of AI 3D generated models, brace yourself for a wild ride of shaders and textures. And remember, when all else fails, just slap on a shiny shader and call it a masterpiece. After all, art is subjective, right?

  • It’s absolutely infuriating how the creative industry is still drowning in mediocrity when it comes to job opportunities for Blender artists. The recent overview titled ‘Blender Jobs for June 20, 2025’ is nothing short of a disgrace! What are we doing here? Are we seriously still looking for someone to create low poly cartoonish clothing assets? This is 2025, people! The demand for innovation and quality is at an all-time high, yet we are settling for these lazy, uninspired roles that only push the boundaries of our creativity further back into the dark ages.

    The description outlines a desperate search for artists to create thumbnails for YouTube and basic asset production—who gave these companies the right to expect top-notch creativity while offering peanuts in return? This is a blatant disrespect to the talented artists struggling to make a name for themselves. The industry has turned into a free-for-all where anyone with a computer thinks they can just toss out these ridiculous requests, undermining the hard work and passion of those who actually have skills worth paying for.

    “Stealth Startup” and “Pizza Party Productions”? Really? Is this some kind of joke? These names scream lack of professionalism and vision. How can we expect to elevate the standards of our industry when these half-baked companies are running around hiring interns instead of investing in real talent? It’s ludicrous! What’s next? A startup looking for someone to animate stick figures for a viral TikTok? Come on!

    Let’s not even get started on the ridiculous notion of internships being the new norm for artists trying to break into the industry. The term “3D Artist Intern” is a euphemism for “overworked and underpaid.” The expectation that fresh graduates should be thrilled to work for free just to “gain experience” is not only exploitative but utterly shameful. These companies need to step up their game and start valuing the creativity and hard work that goes into crafting quality art.

    Every time I scroll through these job postings, I feel my blood boil. Are we going to continue to allow this cycle of mediocrity to persist? It’s time for artists to take a stand and demand better. We need opportunities that challenge us, not these mundane tasks that anyone with a basic understanding of Blender could complete.

    We deserve to work in an environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and respect for our craft. If these companies want to attract real talent, they need to start offering competitive pay and meaningful projects that actually inspire artists instead of dragging them down into the depths of blandness and monotony.

    Wake up, industry! The future of Blender artistry hinges on your willingness to embrace quality over quantity. Stop settling for mediocre job listings and start aiming for greatness.

  • Wētā FX’s expansion to Melbourne is being hailed as a major win in an industry riddled with closures and financial turmoil. But let’s not kid ourselves here—this is not a savior story; it’s a slap in the face to countless talented artists and technicians who are being left behind as the corporate machine churns on. While Wētā FX flaunts its 7 Oscars and 15 scientific and technical Oscars as if they’re badges of honor, the reality is that this expansion might just be another ploy to exploit cheaper labor and maximize profits at the expense of quality and creativity.

    In a time when studios are shutting down left and right, it’s baffling that Wētā FX thinks it’s a good idea to stretch its reach into Melbourne without addressing the glaring issues within its own operations. This is not a victory for the industry; it’s a desperate attempt to keep the lights on while ignoring the systemic problems that plague the visual effects sector. The industry is facing a crisis, and instead of addressing the root causes—overwork, underpayment, and the relentless pressure of unrealistic deadlines—Wētā FX is just trying to grab a bigger piece of the pie.

    Why are we celebrating an expansion that could potentially lead to more instability in the job market? Wētā FX’s move to Melbourne could mean more jobs, yes, but at what cost? What about the existing employees who are already stretched thin? What about the mounting pressure on creative professionals who are forced to churn out blockbuster effects at breakneck speed? This isn’t about creating a sustainable work environment; it’s about profit margins and shareholder satisfaction.

    The problem is not just with Wētā FX; it’s a symptom of a much larger issue within the film and visual effects industry. The constant churn of studios coming and going, along with the relentless demands placed on creative teams, reflects a broken system that prioritizes profits over people. We should be holding companies accountable rather than just cheering for their expansions. If we don’t start demanding change, we’ll continue to see a cycle of burnout, layoffs, and a steady decline in the quality of work that audiences expect.

    And let's talk about the so-called "innovation" that Wētā FX touts. What innovation can we expect when the focus is on expanding to new locations rather than investing in the workforce? New studios don’t equate to new ideas or better working conditions. It’s time to wake up and realize that this is a business-first mentality that’s doing nothing but harming the very fabric of creativity that the industry claims to uphold.

    In conclusion, while Wētā FX makes headlines for its expansion to Melbourne, we should be questioning the motives behind such moves. This isn’t a time for celebration; it’s a time for scrutiny. If we want to see real progress in the industry, we must demand more than just superficial growth. We need to advocate for a system that values the people behind the effects, not just the awards they rack up.

If we don’t start demanding change, we’ll continue to see a cycle of burnout, layoffs, and a steady decline in the quality of work that audiences expect. And let's talk about the so-called "innovation" that Wētā FX touts. What innovation can we expect when the focus is on expanding to new locations rather than investing in the workforce? New studios don’t equate to new ideas or better working conditions. It’s time to wake up and realize that this is a business-first mentality that’s doing nothing but harming the very fabric of creativity that the industry claims to uphold. In conclusion, while Wētā FX makes headlines for its expansion to Melbourne, we should be questioning the motives behind such moves. This isn’t a time for celebration; it’s a time for scrutiny. If we want to see real progress in the industry, we must demand more than just superficial growth. We need to advocate for a system that values the people behind the effects, not just the awards they rack up. #WētāFX #VisualEffects #IndustryCritique #JobMarket #CreativeProfessionals
    Le studio Wētā FX s’étend à Melbourne, des emplois à la clé
    Alors que les nouvelles de fermetures de studios et de redressements judiciaires se multiplient, certaines entreprises parviennent à tirer leur épingle du jeu. C’est le cas de Wētā FX, le studio d’effets visuels aux 7 Oscars et 15 Oscars

  • La critique du matelas en latex organique Silk & Snow S&S. Honnêtement, c’est un matelas, et il est un peu comme n’importe quel autre. Il est censé être doux comme un nuage, ce qui est un bon point, je suppose. La promesse de confort est là, mais seulement pour les personnes qui dorment seules. Donc, si vous aimez partager votre espace, ce n’est pas la meilleure option.

    Le matelas est fait de matériaux organiques, ce qui semble être à la mode en ce moment. C’est bien pour ceux qui se soucient de l’environnement, mais ça ne change pas trop le fait que je me sens un peu fatigué juste à en parler. Les critiques disent qu’il est incroyablement confortable, mais je n’ai pas vraiment ressenti cette magie. Peut-être que je suis trop habitué à mon vieux matelas qui me connaît mieux.

    Il y a beaucoup de matelas sur le marché, et celui-ci ne se démarque pas vraiment, même s’il a cette étiquette "organique". Je suppose que pour une personne qui aime dormir seule, c’est une option. Mais pour moi, c’est juste un autre matelas qui fait le job. Le confort est là, mais je ne sais pas si c'est suffisant pour en faire un choix incontournable.

    En fin de compte, Silk & Snow S&S est un matelas qui a ses qualités, mais il n’y a pas vraiment d’excitation à en parler. Je préfère juste rester sur mon vieux matelas, même si ce n’est pas aussi "doux qu’un nuage". Peut-être qu'un jour, je me sentirai d’humeur à essayer quelque chose de nouveau, mais aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas le cas.

    Silk & Snow S&S Organic Mattress Review: Soft as a Cloud
    Silk & Snow’s got an organic mattress in its lineup, and it’s amazingly comfortable—but only for solo sleepers.

  • In a world where the line between reality and digital wizardry is blurrier than ever, the recent revelations from the VFX wizards of "Emilia Pérez" are nothing short of a masterclass in illusion. Who knew that behind the glitzy allure of cinema, the real challenge lies not in crafting captivating stories but in wrestling with software like Meshroom, which sounds more like a trendy café than a tool for tracking and matchmoving?

    Cédric Fayolle and Rodolphe Zirah, the dynamic duo of visual effects from Les Artizans and MPC Paris, have bravely ventured into the trenches of studio filming, armed with little more than their laptops and a dream. As they regale us with tales of their epic battles against rogue pixels and the occasional uncooperative lighting, one can't help but wonder if their job descriptions should include "mastery of digital sorcery" along with their technical skills.

    The irony of creating breathtaking visuals while juggling the whims of digital tools is not lost on us. It's like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat, only the hat is a complex software that sometimes works and sometimes… well, let's just say it has a mind of its own. Honestly, who needs a plot when you have VFX that can make even the dullest scene sparkle like it was shot on a Hollywood red carpet?

    As they delve into the challenges of filming in a controlled environment, the question arises: are we really impressed by the visuals, or are we just in awe of the technology that makes it all possible? Perhaps the true stars of "Emilia Pérez" aren’t the actors or the storyline, but rather the invisible hands of the VFX teams. And let’s face it, if the storyline fails to captivate us, at least we'll have some eye-popping effects to distract us from the plot holes.

    So, as we eagerly await the final product, let’s raise a glass to Cédric and Rodolphe, the unsung heroes of the film industry, tirelessly working behind the curtain to ensure that our cinematic dreams are just a few clicks away. After all, who wouldn’t want to be part of a film where the biggest challenge is making sure the virtual sky doesn’t look like a poorly rendered video game from the '90s?

    In the grand scheme of the film industry, one thing is clear: with great VFX comes great responsibility—mainly the responsibility to keep the audience blissfully unaware of how much CGI magic it takes to make a mediocre script look like a masterpiece. Cheers to that!

  • Laptops are everywhere, and for CAD work, you really just need something that runs the software without crashing. So, there are these three laptops that are supposedly perfect for CAD. They’re on sale, which is nice, I guess. But honestly, who has the energy to care that much about discounts?

    The first one is just a standard model, nothing fancy. It has a decent processor and enough RAM to handle basic CAD tasks. It’s probably fine for most people, though I can’t say it’s exciting. The screen is okay, I mean, it shows things. So, if you need to do some drafting, it might get the job done. But really, it’s just another laptop.

    Then there’s the second option, which is slightly better, I think. It has a bit more power, which might make it more suitable for heavier CAD applications. But honestly, if you’re just sketching out ideas, do you really need that? The battery life isn’t terrible, but you’ll probably still find yourself looking for an outlet halfway through the day.

    Lastly, there’s the third laptop, and it’s kind of a mixed bag. It’s got some features that are nice, like a touchscreen or whatever. But again, who actually uses that? The performance is solid if you’re into that sort of thing. But if you’re just doing the basics, you might not even notice the difference.

    So, yeah, these three laptops are marked as perfect for CAD. They’re discounted, which might be a reason to look at them. But honestly, if you’re not super into CAD or just need something to get by, any random laptop will probably do. Just pick one, and let’s move on with life.

  • The recent announcement of CEAD inaugurating a center dedicated to 3D printing for manufacturing boat hulls is nothing short of infuriating. We are living in an age where technological advancements should lead to significant improvements in efficiency and sustainability, yet here we are, celebrating a move that reeks of superficial progress and misguided priorities.

    First off, let’s talk about the so-called “Maritime Application Center” (MAC) in Delft. While they dazzle us with their fancy new facility, one has to question the real implications of such a center. Are they genuinely solving the pressing issues of the maritime industry, or are they merely jumping on the bandwagon of 3D printing hype? The idea of using large-scale additive manufacturing to produce boat hulls sounds revolutionary, but let’s face it: this is just another example of throwing technology at a problem without truly understanding the underlying challenges that plague the industry.

    The maritime sector is facing severe environmental concerns, including pollution from traditional manufacturing processes and shipping practices. Instead of addressing these burning issues head-on, CEAD and others like them seem content to play with shiny new tools. 3D printing, in theory, could reduce waste—a point they love to hammer home in their marketing. But what about the energy consumption and material sourcing involved? Are we simply swapping one form of environmental degradation for another?

    Furthermore, the focus on large-scale 3D printing for manufacturing boat hulls raises significant questions about quality and safety. The maritime industry is not a playground for experimental technologies; lives are at stake. Relying on printed components that could potentially have structural weaknesses is a reckless gamble, and the consequences could be disastrous. Are we prepared to accept the liability if these hulls fail at sea?

    Let’s not forget the economic implications of this move. Sure, CEAD is likely patting themselves on the back for creating jobs at the MAC, but how many traditional jobs are they putting at risk? The maritime industry relies on skilled labor and craftsmanship that cannot simply be replaced by a machine. By pushing for 3D printing at such a scale, they threaten the livelihoods of countless workers who have dedicated their lives to mastering this trade.

    In conclusion, while CEAD’s center for 3D printing boat hulls may sound impressive on paper, the reality is that it’s a misguided effort that overlooks critical aspects of sustainability, safety, and social responsibility. We need to demand more from our industries and hold them accountable for their actions instead of blindly celebrating every shiny new innovation. The maritime industry deserves solutions that genuinely address its challenges rather than a mere technological gimmick.
