I'm an alterego. It is not a way to hide - ask and I'll introduce myself! -, but a way to perform in a more earnest and honest way. Our self images are...
I've been not playing RPG for 20-or-so years, after having played a bunch as teen.

It felt like what the internet could've become, and what a bunch of people dreamt about early on. If you were online in the late 90's and early 2000's, message boards, forums, ircs, etc, were where you hung out with people, but a lot of the experience was…
archviz-fail This is a post to document my attempt at disrupting vray/enscape using AI. It failed, but the history is valuable (to me, at least). Goal + Motivation The goal of this project was to create a one-button-magic UX to substitute VRAY for interior design renders.
