The face reference for Eli Vance in Half-Life 2 was just some homeless(?) guy named Larry “The Count” Heard, who Valve employees found on the street holding up a sign saying he was looking for work.
I'm not a furry myself, but insinuating all furries are groomers/pedophiles is a disgusting projection, on-par with saying the same about people who are trans.
We need to unify as one and focus on curb-stomping child predators, regardless of what group/identity they embody with.
A peer of mine discovered you can use the files from Portal RTX in Roblox's 2008 client.
It's glitchy looking, but the raytracing is insane.

EDIT: This story is only partially true. Larry "The Count" Heard is the face for male_03, NOT Eli Vance. Going to dig deeper into who the reference actually is, but I attribute this error to trivia on Half-Life's fandom page:
⚠️WARNING⚠️
There is a new way for people to get your account banned or terminated just by being in a game. When you join a game (like the one pictured here), the game will trick Roblox into thinking you've said inappropriate things and then proceed to get you banned/terminated.
I need to call out
@greenlegocats
on this.
You have a large audience and a responsibility not to spread unfounded misinformation.
R6 is not being removed, no one ever said it was being removed. You've bought into mass hysteria from idiots who don't know how to read properly.
Yippee, Roblox retroactively deleted my classic murder knife texture because of moderation policy changes.
Can't wait for them to nuke The Stalker: Reborn next.
When the hell did blood become against the rules?
The VideoFrame class supports webm files. Not sure if other formats are supported.
I tested it with this clip from The Office. It jitters occasionally and the audio has a slight delay, but it seems to work pretty well!
It supports 3D sound when used with a SurfaceGui.
Roblox: We want to age up the platform by letting you use your real name and providing human-like avatars.
The avatars of my friends (majority of whom are adults):
I really don't get it either. Roblox seems desperate to grow out of their existing avatar aesthetic because they think adults want to be some direct copy of their irl appearance (w/ their real name) instead of having fun stylized avatars that embrace the culture of the platform.
do investors on roblox actually want these photorealistic avatars?? or is roblox just assuming they'd want it? i just dont get who this appeals to. who is wearing this sort of avatar bro??
Jesus fucking Christ how many times do I have to say this.
Roblox operates at a net loss, it streams millions of assets a minute from the cloud, provides server hosting and cloud storage infrastructure, free of charge.
They take a large cut so they don’t die.
NEW: Roblox is profiting off of child labor.
The platform, which has 66 million daily active users, is designed to exploit kids for profit—turning them into low-wage game designers and taking a 70% cut on their sales.
It’s a horrifying glimpse at the metaverse labor landscape.
The way I see it, you can express yourself and be whatever you want to be. It doesn't matter how eccentric or distasteful it may come off to others.
As long as you aren't harming anyone, I don't see what the big deal is. Only those who harm others should be "put in FEMA camps".
Here's a look at the newest revision to Roblox's upcoming Clouds feature. When the beta is enabled, it can be parented to the Terrain object to start rendering.

Honestly fucking tired of this argument. PMG singlehandedly misguided the internet at large about how Roblox functions and people take it at face value without questioning any of it.
@LinusTech
has said that ROBLOX is a Scam based off exploiting young developers in his latest video 😳
Many Roblox Devs & fans are MAD at this, saying the video that inspired (People Make Games) has some invalid points, & Linus is wrong. Others say Linus is correct.
This is a new feature coming to Roblox soon called Highlight. You can parent it under any model to create an outline or colored overlay effect.
I've been waiting 7 years for something like this and now it's finally here 😍
Another crazy close remake of Minecraft has emerged on Roblox lol.
Probably won't be long before it gets shut down, but it's really cool to see nonetheless.
One of my least-liked design elements of suburban design is this inaccessible landing I see in foyers.
Any creative solutions for "staging" it out there?
The DDoS rumor ended up being false. I ran with a lead that seemed compelling (though I had been pretty skeptical) and should have done more rigorous fact checking before I ran with it. My apologies if anyone felt mislead, I will do better next time.
UGC creator "aycres" uploaded a 1:1 copy the limited "Sparkle Time Fedora" in 4 separate parts. The other 2 users involved in these uploads are "TradeFailed" & "TwoLaws"

Roblox's upcoming PBR update is BREATHTAKING when you get just the right configurations!
Here I set my character's material to Concrete and used a Marble/Foil baseplate.
This still pisses me off.
Roblox can pretend 2D clothing is obsolete all they want but it's not. So long as it exists, it has to be supported and it's not going away.
#BRINGBACKSTEVENROBLOX
Before you ask, no I didn't get DMCA'd. It's probably due to the lack of a modesty layer.
It's kind of upsetting that we can't have these kinds of bundles that use 2D clothing because of that modesty layer.
As I suspected, the reason Roblox is cracking down hard on music right now is because of a class action lawsuit they were handed on behalf of several music publishers.
They're mad about people using in-game radios because they're assholes.
Coming soon: Cloud speed/direction controlled via the Workspace's GlobalWind property!
Relevant flags are FFlagGlobalWindActivated and FFlagGlobalWindRendering.

I hope Roblox does a public post mortem on what happened behind the scenes because this is quite a peculiar incident and I'd be curious to know the circumstances that caused it.
