DDR5 RAM is becoming a nightmare for PC builders.
According to DataDome, 91% of the traffic hitting one retailer’s DDR5 product pages comes from scalper bots, meaning automated traffic outnumbers real shoppers by roughly 10 to 1.
These scalper bots constantly check listings for new stock, with some operations hitting RAM pages every 6.5 seconds, DataDome previously identified one operation responsible for more than 10 million scraping requests.
Retailers are responding with purchase limits and CPU/RAM bundles, while some companies have stopped selling RAM separately.
Legendary designer American McGee and Stunt Puppet Pictures' co-creator Justin Rasch joined us to talk about the development of the Plushie Dreadfuls animations, the future of Dreadfuland, and what McGee wants to keep from older games in his new project.
David Papunashvili discussed the workflow behind the Punk Knight project, explaining how he projected the 2D concept directly onto the sculpt for reference and color matching, and detailing how he used PolyPaint to paint the character.
“Before sculpting, I usually gather a variety of references. In this case, however, my goal was to match the concept as closely as possible, so the concept itself became my primary reference. I imported it into ZBrush's Spotlight, which gave me much more flexibility than using PureRef alone. Being able to move, scale, and adjust its opacity directly in the viewport made it much easier to compare my sculpt with the original artwork. Spotlight also lets you sample colors or even project them onto the model, making the painting process much faster.”
