The architecture is accentuated by Eastman’s cutting-edge color interlayers for laminated glass that complement the facade’s complex structure and offers a green-bathed space which further pays homage to the adjacent temple‘s dome.

The company behind the eye-catching glass features of the pavilion is Eastman, known for its Vanceva PVB interlayers, which enable architects to explore new possibilities in laminated safety glass.

With its striking geometry and glowing green interlayer accents by Vanceva, the OMA-designed Audrey Irmas Pavilion in Los Angeles, California, stands as a captivating example of modern design and historical #architecture coming together.

The Pavilion not only serves as a functional space for religious and cultural activities but also as a testament to the transformative power of design.

Almost every casualty worker was involved in selling information and it is claimed that many more were killing patients (directly or by slowing down the response/not doing due diligence).

The price of the bribes paid to the killers was billed to the family of the deceased as an additional funeral charge.

The first 2 episodes are wild ... this is such a brutally fucked up story.

I love it when Vir just gives his passive aggressive wait and stare when he doesn't like the food @IronButterfly put out for breakfast. Then he slowly creeps forward and sits again with the same look. The longer we ignore him, the closer he creeps up. 🤣

These people are often the same people who hate people who have leisure time and attack people and judge them for how they spend their hard earned money and what they spend it on etc.

Just stop. The oppressor mentality and sick grooming that has sunk into your entire brain has just turned you into a racist zombie ...

Seek peace ... and therapy and - more than anything else - learn to mind your own damn business.

I can't begin to express how tired I am of all of these linguistic racists constantly trying to "correct" everyone - especially members of the #GlobalMajority - or belittle them for the way they speak or pronounce things.

I have zero patience for people who do this and people who insist on believing that language does not and should not ever change or evolve.

If you're one of these people who hates how people talk, hates slang, hates Gen-Z speech etc, please unfollow me and seek peace.

Neon has finally revealed the main official trailer for Steven Soderbergh's ghost story film #Presence. This first premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and is a chilling flip on the haunted house concept - it's a shot-in-one-location thriller about a family that moves into a new home.

The rest of the story must not be spoiled just WAIT FOR IT.

It stars Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Julia Fox, Eddy Maday, and West Mulholland.

Been playing the Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days demo that just came out today. I am really loving this game and I am looking forward to the full release!

The game that is taking up most of my time is #MAESTRO in VR. You get to conduct a friggen orchestra and what's better than that?????

If you're not into such things that's fine. It just means the game isn't for you and that's fine too.

Find what excites you. Find what works for you and ticks your boxes and enjoy it.

Now if they made a #DragonAge game that was a squad based, turn based, strategy, deck builder RPG I would be there with BELLS ON ❤️ But they never will and there are plenty of those games out there for me to play. I'm not going to impose my wants and wishes on a game that is clearly an action RPG.

I think people need to step back and relax and find games they actually like instead of shitting on games they don't.

It just makes zero sense to me and is a waste of time and energy.

I like the fast paced combat in #DragonAge, I like the voice work, I like the graphics especially on a high end rig like mine and the monster 55" gaming screen I have. It looks AMAZING and runs like a dream. I can't speak for the plot because I only got through the prologue so far. It is fine. I had fun. It's pretty. The character creator is EXTENSIVE ... I think I was creating my character longer than I actually played the game 🤣 I will probably go back to it tomorrow 👍🏾

The keyword being ... GAME.
It's a game and there are THOUSANDS of games out there that probably many people don't even know exist because they don't branch out of their preferred boxes. That's fine but not every game is designed for your preferred boxes and if you're waiting around for that perfect game that gives you want you want you may not find it. You may need to branch out and try new things instead of imposing your selfish wants on games that may not be for you.

I played DragonAge Veilguard for about ... 30 minutes before I got bored and switched to something else. At the moment I just don't feel like running around in a large world but I might tomorrow or over the weekend. I'm in the mood for something that is a bit more cerebral and DragonAge is more of an action RPG which just isn't want I want to experience RIGHT NOW. That doesn't mean it's BAD. It just means I may come back to it later when I'm in a more action rpg mood. It's FINE as a game.

Not every game is made for every gamer ... I'm not sure why that needs to be said. It's important for you to figure out what boxes you have that need to be ticked in order to get whatever you want to get out of your gaming experience. Games are made by developers for a variety of reasons and a variety of different types of gamers, that doesn't make them bad just because they may not appeal to you. Find something that does. There's a bazillion kinds of games out in the world.

I'm just glad to have games TO PLAY at this point given how badly the gaming industry is collapsing and also how racist, phobic and utterly rancid the gaming community has become in the past decade. I'm not going to complain about something that isn't 1000% perfect to my standards. I like gaming for a variety of reasons and I have 25 games CURRENTLY in my Steam library that I have yet to play. I'm not aching for games. DragonAge is FINE for me and if I get tired of it I will play something else.

I can't really give any kind of impression of #DragonAge at this time because I'm not really into it yet. So far it's ... basic? But I'm going off of playing Dragon Age games since the first one in 2009.

DragonAge changes. It always changes and shifts up and you have to kind of take it how it comes. The Bioware of the golden gaming age is long gone and there is no point lamenting that. Long gone are the Mass Effect 2 days and the DragonAge Inquisition days ...
