The new word on the street is CHUNKS I’d recommend watching the video in full above, but the secret essentially boils down to a lot of clever algorithms. Dabrowski says he uses these to first create a basic map, which he can then add geographical details to such as lakes, forests, mountains and oceans to help give the world a bit of shape.

Turns out a computer full of bugs is not a good thing People who read my articles have exceptionally good taste, which is why I will assume you are already intimately familiar with Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. For those who are not and somehow got here by mistake, it will save me a lot of time if you go away and read them all. Oh fine, I will explain Hex. And also, if I have time, a real life man with ants in his computer....

“We all are fighting on the same side!” If you’ve been yearning to take up arms against Super Earth as either an arachnid, a robot or a filthy (managed) democracy-hating human traitor, then I have bad news, roughneck.Helldivers 2will “never” get a PvP mode, according to Arrowhead’s CEO Johan Pilestedt. The reason? They want to avoid encouraging any toxic behaviour in the newshooter’s multiplayer community. Given that Helldivers 2 is a game with mandatory friendly fire in which you can kill team-mates by respawning right on top of them, I fear the Good Ship Camaraderie may already have sailed, but I’m very early on in my Helldiver career, and I’m… intrigued by how Arrowhead’s efforts at community curation sit alongside/within the game’s premise of playing a dirty space fascist locked in an endless xenophobic crusade....

Why ask for the Ubiworld? You wake up on a piece of soggy driftwood, which also neatly serves as a reflective surface in which to customise your character’s face, and are given command of a humble sloop. Then it’s off to rove a small archipelago full of surviving shipmates, centred on the massive, listing hulk of your former vessel.

£99 for one of the best keyboards I’ve ever tested. The Logitech G915 Lightspeed TKL is a phenomenal gaming keyboard with low-profile mechanical switches, reliable Lightspeed wireless and a compact layout, yet Logitech normally ask well over £100 for it - and double that when it first launched! Today though, the G915 TKL Lightspeed is 55% off, dropping it to the more reasonable price of £99. The G915 TKL is a keyboard that I’ve used for way longer than I actually needed to review it, just because it was comfortable, rapid and overall pleasant to use....
