Hm, it's interesting to see how your CP2077 character resembles a person I know IRL, even if she isn't Asian (eyes are the only big difference here) lol. But only that one, other characters are totally different.

Out of the box, CP2077 has the most realistic skin and hair shaders of those four games, so the characters look very life-like, especially in photo mode. But the character editor is basically a collection of presets; there are no sliders to adjust things like cheek bone width, eye depth (relative to nose bridge), etc.

CE is based on Unreal Engine 4, so it looks a bit more dated, but it has sliders for pretty much anything. And with Nvidia Ansel it has quite a good photo mode as well. Example:

Back in 2006, Xbox had a camera that you could use with a game called Rainbow Six Vegas. For that time, I thought it did a decent job of taking pics of you in-game, and then rendering it.



However, gamers will be gamers, LOL.

The most radical approach to character creation is the one in Rust: The game generates a character, using your Steam ID as a randomization seed, and that's it. No customization. Your look, ethnicity, skin color and sex are assigned to you, and if you don't like the result, you can only re-roll the dice using another Steam account. Good luck!

Uh, uh, what a shame... I was listening to his work (in a collaboration with David Sylvian) just two weeks ago, also a great piece.

This is the kind of music I listen to while playing Sifu.

ArtieUh, uh, what a shame... I was listening to his work (in a collaboration with David Sylvian) just two weeks ago, also a great piece.

One of my favorites!

I once watched him perform live in our city. There's a large Japanese community here, so the atmosphere in the concert hall was very special. Goosebumps when he played the main theme of "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" on the piano. Standing ovations at the end. I'll never forget that.

A few years later I saw him again in another city. Guess I was lucky I could see him twice without traveling too far.

So sad he's no longer with us.

Oh, yes, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is great as well. Listening it always has some kind of magic/essence of Japan to me, a similar vibe like Air's Alone in Kyoto.

I keep a small diary for myself. How to attach pictures. Asks to specify the url address. Where to download images from? From third-party sites? I don't want to clutter up my gallery in Inara

I use Imgur for this purpose. You will need the BB link, seems to work best for forums like Inara, paste it using the link icon on the toolbar above ^

And where to get this code? On the Imgur website, I copy the link, but the picture does not appear in Inara/

You need to link the image directly, not the page with the image. So, for example you can open that image in the new tab a use its URL (https://i.imgur.com/FbhVKpY.jpeg). I think imgur also had a directly link in the image properties somewhere, after the upload.
