Thank you for the breakdown!
I'm sorry that you feel that way. In my opinion the 'hate the most' label is better applied to Russian troops and government, not to Ukrainian civilians that happen to suffer in the destroyed city. And, with all due respect, that's pretty rich of you to throw accusations without knowing my circumstances.
"Just get your foot in the door and things will go from there." I've heard such argument and it is optimistic and hopeful, but immigration status needs some basis to acquire. I wonder about perspectives of legally staying and working beyond 2 years of temporary protection (I believe tech firms don't employ undocumented engineers).
Hi, thanks for your reply, I'm with my parents (they are 70) and no wife or kids. I'm 34. I'm staying currently in a flat of my Russian acquaintance, but I'd like to move soon.

Seems strange that there is nothing instead. Even a round shadow blob beneath, like the games from ps2 used, would make the character look much more grounded in picture.
Is it possible to make a game that makes use of this new lighting system at high graphical settings and regresses to something simpler for low end computers?
Very interesting story. He weighted 125 kilograms (275 pounds). I imagine this is already much better than average human insulation due to the fat.
