Irritating playing on easiest mode and not having full control of the mouse trigger. It’s clear the trigger is “bricked” at times to induce fear and panic. Something to do with detecting that you’re “too good”, have too much health, too much ammo at any given time. But otherwise, the game runs perfectly on Windows 11 as long as you install the community patch version 1.3.1. I have the original Doom 3 retail CDs and it’s at version 1.0.1, so that shit just didn’t run on Windows 11 off the bat. You have to move the contents from discs 2 and 3 into the first setup folder just so the installer can find all the pak files.

UPDATE June 20, 2022 – It seems there’s some mixed messages about pokeberries, might be some kind of fearmongering. People do eat these and make pies out of them, although they say it’s not sweet at all, and that bad taste might be where the fear of death and poison comes from. So do your own research.

Here are some random pics I took today straight out the Nikon D3200 DSLR. Them berries look too pretty. Warning though, these delicious-looking berries are actually incredibly toxic to humans and other animals like dogs and cows! Song birds can eat them though. They’re called pokeberries. So DO NOT EAT THEM! Also the sap is toxic too, so don’t let the sap touch your skin, since it can absorb in. DO NOT TOUCH IT! Should probably get rid of this thing before it gets too big. Apparently it gets more deadly as it matures. (more…)

Observe! New LED tech based lightbulbs are flooding store shelves. It promises lower energy consumption, brighter output, and longer lifespan. However, I noticed a very subtle flaw. Check out what it is in the video. If you want to test LED lightbulbs yourself, share your results with me!

Had to revert back to Qt 4.8.5 but it works nonetheless. The video is choppy because I’m screencapturing the video as it’s running, but on my quadcore it runs at steady 60 fps. On duo-core it runs a steady 20 to 40 fps, so it really depends on your hardware, or I just need to optimize it more. But check out pure 3D in Qt and c++, no third-party dependency on OpenGL or DirectX!

Using Nikon D3200 DSLR movie mode 60fps/720p. Intepreted footage at 10fps mapped to 23.97fps. Pretty much get it right in camera first, no additional interpolation like using After Effects Timewarp or Twixtor. Or get high-speed camera to begin with. (more…)

Ooooeeeey, it’s a long time coming! Finally, I review Vitasoy Coconut Soy Bean drink, my favorite!
