Sort yourself out lad.

I’ve had a bad day, don’t make it worse.
On the road at 7.15am arrived at a certain RAF base at 9.15am. Signed in at 3 different check points. 10.30am finally got to where I was supposed to be. Left site at 3.15pm and phoned the company who contracted me to report on the two units I had worked on. Cool said the guy what was wrong with the third…..

How very dare you!

When I'm eating processed food I want it to be proper processed, so extruded mould shaped in to a cartoon shape of something meaty...
...but bacon needs to be real bacon from a pig's belly and not part of a pork chop.

ftfy.

Screenshot from Earth last night of the southwestern sunset above South Burlington VT. The bright spot to the left of the street lamp is Venus and the crescent moon is left of that. Not sure what the two bright spots to the right of the street lamp are though.

Very surprised that my phone took a picture this good.

We're getting dangerously close to food chats, and you know what happens when we talk about food…
…Lysette thinks we're disgusting and ender gets all defensive about crummy 'bacon'

Looks like there's a lot of tiling going on and bad texture mipmapping in the background. Dont buy.

It needed the addition of whiskey to dunk the sandwich in?

Not so much a pre-requisite but probably less painful than Guinness.

Its the four stages of going into a Yates Wine Lodge, or Wetherspoons over several hours.

That's harsh, what did you do?
Go back or make up some excuse about the third unit hiding or similar?

I have just had an egg and bacon sandwich for tea.
Proper bacon and egg fried in the bacon residue.
Delicious.

That's the sexiest post on here, all day. Utter filth.

And looking at the intersection, the nav-mesh is a grand mess...not to mention all of the readily apparent lighting issues...

Luckily unit two needs parts so I‘ll catch it when I return. Just hope no one declares war in the mean time.

* or no one will be able to dry their hands after going to the toilet…….Na just kidding.

I think they should just trash it and roll back the change and just work on an all new version. Probably using a different engine as it seems pretty obvious that their existing one isn't good and doesn't even support the current graphics Tech. Can't even do weather. just plain boring skyboxes.

Does all the tarmac look like that in Murica? I’ve noticed it a lot in movies.

usually in places with bad weather. Depending on where (road or parking lot) ...it can be much worse than that.

(bad weather being any place that rains and freezes)
