I'm getting a Husk vibe.

I spent a good 4 hours on this texture. It's made from 16 separate photos. 2480x2480 res.

Texture alignment and UV is the same thing. Siba has been trying to do that for months without any luck.

Cities XL
Any SimCity game is better.

Dead Horde
I wasn't expecting an arcade shooter. It was only 2€ anyways.

Borderlands 1
Boring.

Dragon Age (+Origins)
Boring.

Gratuitous Space Battles
It was fun for a day or two.

Tom Clancy's GRAW
Not my type of game at all. I only got it because I've never played a game like it and it was like 2€.

I'm currently using a ATI/AMD card but my next card is going to be Nvidia. Much better for 3D rendering.

There is plenty of nudity in YouTube for educational and art reasons. Not to mention the research raids.

Oh. You just stretched the forget out of them making 1 pixel around the size of a 16x base. Ugly.

Where are you guys getting your drugs? Aren't they expensive? I would have imagined it is kind of hard to get your hands on that stuff.

Why does the Shining Armor voice actor keep saying "that's right" in the VA panel of Canterlot Gardens? I don't get it.

I thought the maximum resolution was 2048.

Or, if you feel like spending a little extra, USB 360 controllers are natively supported by Win7 and don't cost too much
Plus I'm sure there are dozens of amazing drivers/software to customize the stuff out of console controllers.

Off Topic / The cost of education in your country
« on: October 05, 2012, 07:03:37 AM »
I'm almost done with my 2nd degree education and it has been a lot more expensive than I initially though. Sure I've been buying new books almost always but it stacks up pretty quickly. It's not really something you think about when you hear that Finland has free education. Sure. The teaching doesn't cost anything to the student but you need to buy all the accessories likes pens, books, and notebooks.



Finland's education system in 10 seconds

Pre-school

Primary/Basic education grades 1-9 at ages 6/7-16 (+optional 10th grade at 17 if you suck)

Secondary/2nd degree education grades 10-13 at ages 16-18/19 (or whenever you feel like doing it)

Tertiary/3rd degree education grades 14-18 at ages 19-24 (or whenever you feel like doing it)

Super doctor master of the universe thing I don't know



Pre-school and primary education is 100% free as it is the only compulsory education according to the law. Anything after that is optional but it's a social norm to get higher education.

2nd degree education is free but as I already mentioned you need to buy your own stuff. I'm almost done with this and so far it has cost about 500€-600€ a year. ($650-$780 USD) But I bought new books almost every period. (5 periods a year) If you got some old books or bought them cheaper from somewhere else I think you could manage with 300€-400€ a year. ($390-$520 USD)

That's a rough total of 900€-1800€ ($1100-$2300 USD) for the 3 years of education in vocational school or upper secondary school. I guess it depends slightly on which school type you go to.

I don't know how much the higher education costs but I imagine it's pretty much the same. And if you happen to live in a city that doesn't have a university the rent for a student apartment is about 300€-800€ ($400-$1000 USD) a month. So if you're not working you need a loan or rich parents.

TL;DR
Here in Finland.

Ages 7-16: free

16-19: ~900€-1800€ ($1100-$2300 USD)

Edit: Food is free and always includes something warm for the main course, salad, milk/water, and bread. Test are also free except for the final matriculation examinations (4 or more in upper secondary school) that cost about 50€ or $65 USD.

Edit2: All schools are run by the government. I guess there are private schools but I don't know a single one.
