An adventure of a little girl ( Moria ) that is so obsessed with racing that she throws her caution out of a fast racing car's window.

This is why I'm going to speak about the Nuclear Power Plant of V. I. Lenin 2019 historical drama television miniseries called Chernobyl. But It'll be done differently. There'll be no description of how the screenplay was adapted, only the plot and script itself.

C Programming Language is an Interesting Experience

I just wrote a functional program in C. It is not doing anything too fancy. But I'm so happy about it because of what it means. For the longest time I didn't know pretty much nothing except of Python. I can use Python for a lot of very interesting stuff. But I want to be able to look at code written in different languages and know what I'm looking at. I want to be able to make changes to the UPBGE game engine for my game Dani's Race and stuff.

I know, I know, UPBGE is a fork of Blender and therefor is written in C++, not C. What am I wasting my time, learning C, for? Well...

There was this campaign carried out in 1994 on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO). The author alerted of its rusting, corrosive, and acidic properties. He urged people to support the bill for outlawing it.

Suppose you live in a war torn country, where there are military stops in every major road. The economy is in shambles and there's a smell of gunpowder in the air. The people go to watch low budget produced films and are most valued in the global market for the cheap labor.

How James Cameron Sells a Movie?

Blender Dumbass
👁 10 ❤ 5 🔄 1 💬 2

A lot of people know James Cameron as the director that makes the best films. But a lot of those people don't realize that his films aren't actually the best. I would always consider Steven Spielberg a far better director. And people like Aaron Sorkin or Quentin Tarantino far better writers, than James Cameron. His movies are not even the hardest out there. Just take Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo, for example. But, that said, a lot of people still have this elevated idea of James Cameron. An idea that makes him a lot of money. So how does he do that?

What "Zero Motivation" tell us about the self-awareness of the IDF?

Blender Dumbass
👁 9 ❤ 3 🔄 1 💬 8

Due to the renewed interest of the public in the conflict at the middle east, some filmmakers tried pushing and pulling a political pendulum when it comes to accepting / boycotting Israeli film-makers. It is known that film-makers ( being in the art of empathy ) usually tend to be on a progressive side. That makes a concept of an "Israeli filmmaker" a rather strange thing to fathom. But since we see filmmakers from far more restrictive parts of the middle-east find ways to speak their true minds about complex topics, despite heavy censorship, there is no shortage of progressive Israeli films. One of them Zero Motivation ( אפס ביחסי אנוש ), a tale about IDF itself, has some rather interesting points. No... Not the ones you might expect.

Why you should care about Dani's Race?

Blender Dumbass
👁 24 ❤ 3 🔄 1 💬 4

Dani's Race is a pretty to look at, open-world game. Is this a good enough reason to care about it? No. It's not. There are plenty of good looking games out there. And Dani's Race is not even close to some of them. Dani's Race is a Libre "GTA Clone". Okay... so what? It's not the only one. And it is not even that GTA-like anyway. Yes, you can get in and out of cars. Yes, you have an open world. Yes, the levels are structured into missions. But so what? Why should you give a damn? What's so special about this game in particular? Well...

Let's start with a square.

The Odyssey to see The Odyssey (2026)

As it is, the movie is infused with Nolan realism. Everything is serious and grim. The contrast between mythological events and reality creates this clash. I have not seen Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy, so I cannot tell how much of this juxtaposition has existed before. Still, the contrast of what I saw on screen and how the movie portrayed such events, threw me off the loop.

Why Christopher Nolan and why The Odyssey???

Blender Dumbass
👁 13 ❤ 3 🔄 1 💬 4

On the surface it seems like The Odyssey is a vanity project. Like if Christopher Nolan after getting an Oscar for Oppenheimer ( which I still didn't review for some stupid reason ), decided that he is big enough, of a filmmaker, to take on a project of epic proportions, or something. Like he can tell Homer himself, how to properly tell a story, or whatever. But then you watch the movie.

With AI you are focusing on the wrong Fear of Missing Out

Vibe-Coders, people that use LLMs for programming, are found at a such high levels of stress these days, that they end up in a hospital over it. They believe that they need to keep up-to-date on everything regarding the endless AI updates, to the point that it literally deteriorates their health. We all know a person in some field that feels like they would not necessarily want to use AI, but in the same time, they don't want to "fall behind" the rest. That they must know how to "use" these tools, or else they will have no chance what so ever, in the market-place. The problem is, they are focusing on the wrong Fear. Especially when it comes to the market-place.

AI is a Prostitute

The video shook me up, like no other video on AI had. Since it handled the problem at its root, at what reality this AI was: radical opposition to despair of enforcement. It tackles the problem of having a select few channels of information, providing only limited subset of what may be of specific interest to one, by providing only questions.

Lunatics! is a Open-Movie project by Rosalyn Hunter and Terry Hancock. I was following their socials ( mainly their Peertube account ) for quite some time now. And today, about an hour ago they released an unfinished version of episode one. Why does it matter? Well, they are working on it, if I understand correctly, since 2003, ( based on this video ). This unfinished episode is, therefor, 23 years in the making. My Moria's Race short-film with its 3.5 years is nothing in comparison.

There's a lot of explosions, a plentiful amount of destruction, a grand amount of military, both in the air, on the ground and in the water. All the things you could ask for. And the Toho miniatures are incredibly detailed, as always. The scrupulous effort put into constructing them, to just be destroyed for a single shot never ceases to amaze me.

This is less of an article and more of an overview into how Dani's Race ( a game I'm developing ) works. Note, there is a date in the title of this article. Anything here is subject to change. But I don't think a lot of it will be that different in the end of the day.
