Sculpture and making figures. I'm getting the knack for it.

EDIT: Anyone remember the word for 'modernist'? I've been looking for a good noun.

Good Meat loaf bangin' tune!!

Listened to Cream-A Tale of brave Ulysses. It's been awhile since I've heard it. Music merging from the late 60's turning into that new sound of the 70's. Good tune!

Sculpture, how nice. Do you work in clay, marble, wood?
Crims, maybe you could 'show' us one of your creations? are they Man or Beast? abstract, or realistic?
It would really be interesting to view your work.

Probably for some of it. Next phase of delivery is on Friday and then it’s the QA/bughunting phase. Lots still to do.

Never mind your silly worky weekends, my game won't run properly!

Bought Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II on Steam for online play with a Xbox owning friend, but it won't work. Sound issues (mic can't be heard), fixed that with another headset, so this time it reports no token or something on the PS5 and advising that one of the players must be removed, ie me.

Did a Steam file integrity check where it found 34 bad files - why?! Fixed them, checked again 33 bad files. Another fix and check, still 33 bad files. Special. First time I've had the Steam client screw up so badly.

Might download the whole sodding 55.7GB again. Let me Google it first though as it will take ages. What a PITA.

Well if you will buy games from corporations who don't pay their developers well enough... ;)

(Seriously, there are people at Activision Blizzard King who can't even afford lunch in the staff canteen because insufficient pay vs Silicon Valley stupidity prices)

Yeah, I can believe that. "Capitalism". Always needs moderation or it tends towards slavery and exploitation.

In happier news, I have to share this.

This is AMAZING to me. Not the story because that's not the part that's legitimately amazing.

They're quoting 'former MP for Dorset East, Sir Michael Take'. Because they've never heard of 'taking the mickey' - they've quoted a parody account as if it's a real one. (Dorset East hasn't been a constituency since being abolished in 1950 when Poole was formed as a constituency)

Right ppl. got the game running in the end.

Doing that file integrity check fixed the problem. Even though it went from 34 to 33 "bad" files and refused to go lower, that one fix seems to have done it.

For some reason, voice quality is that of a poor mobile phone when it should be hi-fi, though.

That player must be removed issue was, ahem, user error. It was the free-for-all game multiplayer mode where you can't be in a party with anyone since everyone's out to kill each other. Such fun! Selecting one of the other modes worked fine. The game is demanding on this old hardware though! Hard to keep up a decent framerate in some maps. Others are sorta reasonable, even though my RTX 2080 SUPER is hardly top end and a 4 year old GPU design, it's still not much of a bottleneck, it's my ancient 2700K from 2011 that desperately needs upgrading. Gonna miss this old workhorse when I eventually do.
