Enter just "Ghent" or "Panevėžys" (or any town) and get a 1980s Calculator font telling the real world temperature and time, with label formatting and a random awkward '80s news anchor smiling back, complete with flag.

While cleaning my 'users' folder because my drive is nearly full, I found a bunch of clips Rebelle recorded of my 'painting' and stitched them together with ffmpeg and python.

This would be a great base for one of those costumes where it's a single person wearing a false attached companion - or however that'd be described. The lady could have her right hand free, and her left hand in the man's head to orient and pose it.

SortClosest (An input array of mesh components, for example meshes within an actor, relative to some location).
These handy functions are super fast to make. #UE5

I tried to add on my character a #UE5 Fab system 'Interaction Component Push' and failed badly & took all night to scrub it from my project. I decided to try again, and 2nd time works a charm. [I need to hide weapons and tweak hands offsets.]

Procreate exported videos may have black frames scattered throughout. While finding a solution that extracts them, I found out the fixed output clip is also far smaller than Procreate's exported clip. Win win!

I've been tinkering with making a 'Temperature' driven event component, using Mappings. For example, I want enemies to not aggro until they reach a threshold set by how often their physics has been bumped by players. Repeatedly pushing an NPC angers them, but in a crowd they all respond. #UE5

A tip for planning maps: do them in a numbered zone progression where the map itself doesn't at first have detail, because as soon as other people see it, they'll start to respond with changes and new ideas and start adding in story elements that need to connect clearly, so a simple diagram helps.
