Flying a drone over this mess... I won't show you the drone itself, because now it's just a sphere. I haven't thought about the design yet. The drone will have a lot of mechanics, I hope... Now there is only movement gameplay and flashlight 🤖😘

Ok, I forgot cool feature, the drone has parallax HUD. There's also HUD radial effect, but I'll probably remove that. I stopped liking this view

I am currently engrossed in reading the Expanse book series. In the universe of these books, humanity's advanced space-faring civilization still grapples with familiar issues like geopolitical tension, inequality, and exploitation.

The arrival of a mysterious new technology ignites intense reactions from governments, individuals, and political ideologies.

In these books, I see many parallels to how people currently interact with AI.

Still working my way through Three-Body, the Chinese TV adaptation of The Three-Body Problem. Sometimes it gets slow but it is so much better than the Netflix version. Especially if you read the book(s). #scifi

I just found out season 2 of Outer Range is available!! I absolutely loved season 1, it was such a unique story (sci-fi western!). I guess I'll sign up for Prime for a month to watch it. Anything else new and good on prime right now?

@Jennifer I have The Wheel of Time, Reacher, and Fallout on my list to watch when I get Prime for a month. I also have Leverage: Redemption, but I think the first two seasons are on FreeVee (season 3 will be on Amazon Prime).

George Lucas Explains Why You’ll Never See A 4K Restoration of A New Hope (www.inverse.com)

The ones who were there 47 years ago remember it clearly: Han shot first. But in nearly every version of 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope that you can find today, Harrison Ford’s charming smuggler was a little slow to the trigger in his face-off against Greedo — one of the many changes that director George Lucas made to the...
