When I have time, I play Rust. 770 hours, mostly on PVE servers… I know, I'm bad :D. What about you?

I wanted to share this in-depth look at my sci-fi world-building project again now that I've officially joined the Insider pack. As a student of software engineering, I've always been interested in the logic and structure behind making a believable "multiverse."Umbra is the name of the country that is at the center of my current project. I've been working on it as the main political power that links together several different worlds, each with its own harsh identity: Sulfuria: A world with a lot of volcanic activity and high pressure. Velaris and Tera: Systems made with complicated ecosystems. Cruoris: a planet with a darker, more int

hi guys

What kind of music are you listening to? Let’s all hear it.  For me, it’s still metal  

I love mixing Latin, Spanish, English, German, and Japanese to come up with names for my world-building projects. I think that using real-world roots makes a fantasy world feel more real. Do you like names that sound completely foreign, or do you like seeing patterns in language that you know in your RPGs? Let's talk about where words come from!

I’ve been reflecting on the 'Golden Era' many of us in Gen Z grew up with. We witnessed one of the most explosive periods in gaming history—stretching from the Sega Saturn and N64 (5th Gen), through the legendary PS2 and GameCube era (6th Gen), and finally into the HD jump with the Xbox 360 (7th Gen).For many of us, these weren't just consoles; they were our first windows into complex world-building and 3D strategy.Personally, my journey with a white Xbox 360 Arcade and early Pokémon titles shaped exactly how I approach games today.Whether I’m on my PC or switching to the

I've been trying out a "Level-Up Move Only" challenge, but I think it only works in retro games like the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green betas (the ones that were only released in Japan; Aka and Midori, respectively) or even on Discord bots like Pokétwo.I see that the pacing doesn't work in modern games like Pokémon Shield, but in old-school emulated runs, it's a tough test of strategy.Have you ever tried a challenge that worked perfectly for one generation but seemed impossible for another?I'm excited to hear how you modify your strategies to fit different imposed rules on different eras of gaming!🐺🎮 

Imagine your life had to take place inside the world of a video game. Would you pick a peaceful farming sim, a chaotic shooter, or something totally different? lmk

I love mixing Latin, English, Spanish, and Japanese to create character names that feel ancient. How do you guys name your custom characters so they don't sound generic?

A discussion thread for artists who have workflows that are unconventional.I’ll start with mine, used for vector graphics.I generally use, of all things, Moment of Inspiration CAD software for making the actual shapes, reserving Inkscape for coloring, processing, and effects. If I need to make it into a raster image, I export as a raster - usually WebP - then take it to GIMP (that’s the GNU Image Manipulation Program , and yes, mods, the developer is aware of its’ unfortunate acronym) for further edits.I also use MoI for 3D shapes, which I then take into Blender to further modify, process, and render. I’ve done quite a bit of this, actually.What workflows do you have that others would find unusual?

On google its said that 50 is max but i think it should be more cuz you earn the cap in 10 mins

I'd like to know if a controller is better than a keyboard for Rocket League.

I’m definitely a night person. I can’t get up without a good cup of coffee!

Hi everyone,I’m managing a Laravel-based property platform, Saakin, and want to make sure we’re following current best practices for security. We already use HTTPS, basic firewall rules, and regular updates, but I’d like advice on hardening things further.What are the most common vulnerabilities you see in Laravel apps today, and which tools or configurations do you recommend to mitigate them?

Hey everyone,Bit of an off-topic question, but I was curious how many people here still use printers regularly alongside gaming or PC work.I mostly game, but I also print things like game guides, controller layouts, invoices, and PC troubleshooting notes. Sometimes prints come out faded, misaligned, or with missing colors—and I only notice it after wasting a few pages.To avoid that, I usually print a quick test page before anything important. Simple online test pages help confirm whether the issue is related to ink, alignment, or print settings. I personally use https://myprinttest.com to quickly check colors and layout before printing documents.For general background, this Wikipedia page explains how computer printers work and common printing concepts, which helped me understand some of the basics:

Hello, I have tickets Razer Gold I want to sell it. Will you buy it from me? I'm from Saudi Arabia and I don't know how to sell it because someone tried to scam me. Now it's with me and I don't know how to sell it because I need the money.

instead of getting into the crowded segment of mainstream displays, I believe there is much room to grow for specialised monitors such as the Acer PD163Q.Dual up/down screen, dual left/right screen, rollable screens and such.These are the stuff of hobbyist dreams.Just a suggestion.
