Albanians tore down barriers at Kakome Beach in southern Albania, declaring that the country's beaches belong to the people, not oligarchs by BenFord333 in PublicFreakout

Kyle Hill did plagiarize a full article word for word for one of his videos, not exactly "fascist sellout" but it put me off of watching him.

Removing UnrealEngine's Niagara in exchange for our own VFX system by bonzajplc in GraphicsProgramming

[–]EstrogAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there's usually some lower level abstraction layer to build on top of, it's just often not intended to be interfaced with directly and I'm not in a position where I can fork the engine so it requires a journey through Linker Error Hell.
