While Epic has been pouring money from Fortnite into Unreal Engine and making significant progress in updating the engine.

Unity has been sitting on its ass for years doing absolutely nothing in the way of R&D.

As a result, Unity is now left behind.

Valve has given up on being an Engine developer.

Epic with the Unreal Engine will have a monopoly soon if it doesn't already.

Anyone attempting to make their own modern game engine these days are way behind the ball. All the big players are switching to Unreal.

And it's not only Game Engine, but movie making engine as well.

The only company I could see that would have the $$$ and talent to compete against Epic for a Graphics Engine would be nVidia.

AMD doesn't have the R&D and Scientists specializing in Graphics/Physics/Rendering/Simulation/InformationLoading like nVidia does.
Valve has the $$$ and talent, but they are focused on hardware now, and are even farther behind than Unity.

Having a single Game Engine monopoly will be bad for all of us in the end.

The only Video Game engine that I could see someone develop that could compete against Unreal, is if the engine was built from the ground up 100% focused on anti-cheat. Libraries that are designed from the start to be multiplayer focused with un-necessary data scrubbed properly from the clients so they can't sniff out data. Something designed to be hack proof.

That game engine, even if not graphically intense would be highly sought after in a wide genre range of games.

I think the idea is that you get more efficient heating out of burning Natural Gas -> Electricity -> Heat Pump than just burning the natural gas for heat.

Even better if you skip the natural gas -> electricity part and use Nuclear/Hydro/Solar/Wind

It's strange to me that 30 years later, basic RC Airplanes that I used to build/fly are being used as weapons of war. With the only difference being smaller GPS receivers and small cheap MEMS accelometer/gyro's.

Always figured they'd be easy to track/shoot down, but I guess no one bothered building AA for something that small, which is strange to me.

A Grade 7 student is learning absolutely nothing from this text. It's textual diarrhea.

I've been using all the tools I can find to proper curate shit.

block youtube channels that are notorious for click-bait titles.

block blog/news sites from my feeds that also do this.

Yeah, that's bad.

What extruder are you using that has PTFE tube that close to hotend? and want to print that high temperatures?

I wouldn't go above 220C unless its a proper all metal hotend.
