Forgiveness for my pedantry, but pretty sure a greeble (or greeblie) is the individual plastic details that they would glue on to create the texture, not the texture itself.

You wouldn’t say a texture is “greeble”.

Edit - and if you’re talking 3d modeling, greebling is done during sculpting, it’s not a texturing step.

I don’t remember seeing pirated stuff before Dreamcast / PS1, although to be fair, I was at a lot of PC conventions back then grabbing freeware disks and stuff, so I probably saw a lot of pirated stuff without knowing what I was looking at, just by virtue of being too young to be into the pirating / modding community.

I don’t have an answer for you, but it seems feasible enough. If you decide to try it, let us know how it works.

None, because their corporations exist as separate legal entities that own their own assets, and their personal wealth would go to their next of kin.

Really hoping this isn’t the case. LotR IP isn’t in a good place these days, with all the adaptations being made that don’t have the rights to the time periods or events they want to portray.

We don’t need another half-baked property about the heroic quest for Galadriel’s bidet, Gollum’s cock ring, or whatever McGuffin they come up with as a placeholder for The Ring.

Let the Professor’s work rest. No-one is doing his writing any favors by making a mockery out of it.

I blame a mysterious coworker named Pepe Silva for everything that goes wrong at my job.

That asshole.

Also Tooth and Tail, RTS where the protagonist army are very Communist coded rats and mice.

I met my late wife on vampirefreaks back in 2003. Holy nostalgia, Batman.

No, but I did take the 4 or 5 Oreos I would eat in a sitting, crumble them up, and put them in a bowl of milk like cereal.

Site gets stuck continuously loading whenever I try and sort listings. By state, by ending first, doesn’t matter. Nothing loads.

Can’t have a tank parade when all your tanks are currently planters for Ukrainian sunflowers.

Servers are being shut down and game is being delisted as of July of this year. Be aware before you buy.

I remember back in the days when Ebay didn’t have any selling restrictions, there was someone selling an Alfa class Soviet sub for something like 3.5 million.

Agreed. I’d go back and watch a supercut of all the fight scenes, but other than that there wasn’t really anything worth remembering / revisiting. Didn’t stand on it’s own as a good story or add anything good to Star Wars canon overall.

“I don’t give a fuck about a systemically supported network of pedophiles.” is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it works out for you.
