The game engine plays and feels very much like the first two offerings from Singletrac.

To give a quick overview of assets in Blender: an asset is “a data-block with meaning”. This blog post will show off the new system, and compare it with the existing pose library. It is the first practical extension of the Asset Browser, also introduced in Blender 3.0.

You could say that Pratchett was a master of quirk-each central character possesses an attribute or attitude to help them stand out from a crowd. Pratchett had a knack for imbuing all of his characters with unique bits of pathos, even the most minor players who appeared in the background from time to time. One of the leading factors that makes the 40-some Discworld books so wonderful is the recurring characters. Those novels, coupled with his 1990 co-authorship of Good Omens with Neil Gaiman, earned Pratchett a permanent place in my heart. I read his Discworld books voraciously, amazed by the way he was able to keep the series going while still generating compelling stories that never bogged down into mediocrity. It’s now been a few years since the last time I picked up a book in his seminal Discworld series, but for perhaps a five-year stretch, I wouldn’t have hesitated in calling the British fantasist my favorite author. ![]() Thursday afternoon’s news of fantasy author Terry Pratchett’s passing hit me hard-very hard, as few author obituaries have in some time.

Having eaten very little during their cold-season retreats, linesiders will feed voraciously on just about anything they can catch, but their primary spring target is the voluminous schools of whitebait and threadfin herring (greenbacks) that show up each spring. Once spring delivers stable weather and rising air/water temperatures, snook emerge from their winter haunts with rumbling bellies and plans of moving progressively closer to the coastal pass where they'll stage for their summer spawn. Wherever they roam, snook are extremely cold-sensitive, so they'll pass the frigid winter months way back in the deep, stable waters of coastal rivers, creeks, canals and port basins. Smaller populations thrive as far north as Crystal River, but the state's left coast sees consistent snook fishing from Tarpon Springs down through Florida Bay.

We have a reputation that seems to diverge greatly when it comes to update frequency depending on who you ask.
