at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

Wow. This is quite a 🧵.
1/ It was the height of the pandemic, but Phoebe Putney Memorial had good news: At 99 years old, Maude Burke was the oldest COVID-19 patient they were discharging.
In a video, staff waved balloons, celebrating Burke beating the disease.
There was one issue: It wasn’t true. 🧵

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Are there any UE5 sickos out there who know the MassEntity framework really well? Particularly relating to actor LODing? I can't find a single example of using LowResTemplateActor in a meaningful way, particularly in a multiplayer setup.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

The other thing Valve should obviously start doing is arts funding grants
They never will tho because when Oculus started doing it for VR games it was a complete no-brainer with functionally zero costs and would have saved the entire burgeoning industry they were banking on and they didn't
