Can't wait for Guild Wars 2 as you can see!

Using Windows 8, a rainmeter skin for the Guild Wars 2 ability bar (the health pool is the CPU usage and stamina is RAM, it also has an Inventory/Backpack window but I don't use it. :laugh:) and of course the wallpaper is courtesy of ArenaNet. Probably still need to sort out better icons though. :/ Need to find a good icon pack from somewhere... :)

Just an update, took this screenshot on my second monitor which has a smaller resolution (less file size and fits in with the specifications the OP set out, changed the icons too with a pack I found so it's looks a little bit nicer than the previous version.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By thartist · Posted

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
