  • With #lockdown guidance as it stands, only six of the seven dwarfs can meet together in the park?
    The seventh dwarf won't be Happy.

    This checkin to GC827X6 2019-01-08 51 -1, 09:19 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Thanks for the report, Team Hippo. Given the lack of activity and the usual thoroughness of the previous cacher, I'm going to choose to assume that this cache is inaccessible until I can get out there โ€ฆ

    Unreal Engine 5 is meant to ridicule web developers

    The Olognion article showing off Unreal Engine 5's blazing fast multi-polygon rendering that makes your average Web page look like shit. It's satire, but there's a real point here.
