Backed up by the soft power of long unchecked cultural dominance, as Frankie Boyle put it:

“Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people, but what’s worse is that they’ll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad."

They were. Although interestingly the first game wasn't made with Unity, it was made with libGDX, which like Godot is open source. I believe they switched to Unity for SLS2 dev about 2 years prior to the runtime fee, then jumped ship to Godot after. So really, both games are a win for FOSS tools!

Just read an article some sausage on here is sharing as an argument for LLM consciousness. The evidence? 2 Claude models, prompted to discuss being an AI with each other, regurgitated some waffle about consciousness. Of course it did, the entire canon of human authored sci-fi is in the data set, ffs

I just revved up a chainsaw and dropped it in a box of important documents. It tore them to shreds and is now wildly oscillating around the office chewing up all of my furniture. If you also do your paperwork with a chainsaw, you should join my substack. I just shared my top chainsaw handling tips.

But then he takes a look at it and says "not quite done yet" before wincing and shoving it back in. The skin on his hands audibly crackling the whole time.

i will now stop trying to convince anyone that Godot Engine has been battle tested.

@adriaan.games prompted some interesting discussions about this a while back: github.com/godotengine/... (including some great contributions from @runevision.bsky.social)

I've been hoping to see some news on this front, but it may be one which takes a while to be prioritised

I've only tested it briefly so I can't say I'm 100% sold yet, but I do think the official layout needs work in this area

Agree that this should be built in. If it's slowing you down, the ScriptIDE plugin has this as standard: github.com/Maran23/scri...

Yikes. I haven't touched the signal gui routing in years and this looks like a terrible experience

I'm sure this has been mentioned already but addon management is very clunky still. I'm a very reluctant git submodule user but it's convoluted and not all addons suit it. Globalised add-ons and a better way to distinguish between actual project dependencies and editor-only tools would be excellent

I know some work was done on this previously, for the file system / scene tree. But there are still instances where it's not working intuitively in the inspector with nested resources, for my setup at least. I'll investigate and try to pin point where it happens most.

I'd need to test contexts, but I find hover-to-expand while dragging a file quite inconsistent. I'll often be dragging a resource over to the inspector to add it to an export field, only to realise I've got some collapsed regions in the way. While dragging, most elements should open on hover.

The shader editor auto opening and stealing focus from the code editor, whenever I go anywhere near a node with a material on it has been a pain recently. This thing suddenly has a life of its own!
