@vline_ballarat Why not let passengers on to the train out of the wind and cold?

Noise is used everywhere in games: terrain, animations, camera shake, and more.

But it can still feel like magic. How do you turn greyscale blobs into real effects?

Here are a few practical ways to use it.

@meesedev I'm pretty sure that 99% of UE game that were unfortunately famous for bad performance are heavily GPU bound. OOP is clearly not the issue and DOP isn't going to do you any good. Plus, UE already has DOP for some systems and keeps pushing for more (where it makes sense)

Today Josh Frydenberg treated a terrorist attack as a political relaunch opportunity.

It’s one of the most repellent displays of opportunism ever in this history of Australian politics.

There's some relevant historical context. A thread.

NEW: Russian bodybuilder and daredevil Sergey Boytsov claims to have set a world record.

Boytsov claims to have set a world record for the world's first gymnastic turns under a balloon at an altitude of 1500 meters *without* a parachute.

Boytsov says there was no "insurance," meaning if something went wrong, he was done.

Boytsov is 30 years old and is from Russia.
