  • Grim Fandango is great, and the remaster with mouse controls is absolute peak with the added traditional mouse point&click interface. Though, mouse controls don’t really work for every occasion in the game, but it’s pretty minor issue overall.

    Shame the remaster couldn’t really clean up the cutscenes, as those are VERY crunchy with the late 90’s video compression. Kinda same for the static backdrop graphics. The in-game lighting did get a lot nicer!

    I’ve been meaning to test out https://hexagon.codes/grimhd - someone seems to be ai-upscaling the backdrops to modern resolutions & color depths, they seem very nice on the screenshots. So you know, disclaimer: haven’t tried it myself, can’t endorse it, and if you do: scan it for nasties first.












  • TBH? Kinda lost the plot what even is “EEVEE next”, it’s EEVEE with RT features? Yea, using that. Otherwise, “Idunnolol”. :D

    EEVEE in it’s current (blender 4.2.1) form is phenomenal, doesn’t match cycles obviously, but it finishes the render this calendar year. In terms of the supposed animation: 10000 frames 30min per each, or 7sec each? I know where my choise lies. :P

  • Yep. Apparently outlook does this and afaik because some kind of link sniffing/scam detection/whatever, but it does it by changing the first characters of each query argument around.

    We spent amazingly long time figuring that one out. “Who the hell has gotten Microsoft service querying our app with malformed query args and why”
