For the game we're building in #godot we have a lot of create&share. We've been using resource UIDs for our save/load system, it's been great. That is until yesterday, when we made a release build and the game just gave us black screen. Turns out the docs don't mention something *slightly* important

Got the Discord year in review and I had no idea they were tracking so much shit, terrible default settings. The fix is in Profile > Data & Privacy.

The bans say more about a psychopathic and bigoted USA, perfectly fine with mass murder in ordinary FPS games (and IRL), yet treating nudity and sexuality as taboo no matter how intentionally or elliptically they’re approached.

#Godot question: you have your main game scene Game.tscn, containing a few managers (all of them are their own scenes). Do you usually populate their fields in their own scenes, or in Game.tscn? What about non-manager nodes? Is it a matter of preference? Any perf benefit? @godotengine.org #gamedev

This is like when you start OBS to capture your desktop and it does the infinitely nested desktop thing
Handling nested resources in #godot is one of the modern circles of hell

Striker is my first "playing with dad on the TV" memory for me ❤️ Before that I only have "watching dad play on the PC while sitting on his lap" memories.
Recently remembered the Striker series of soccer games and how amusingly almost all of its entries kept reusing the same illustration from the original for the cover, sometimes just recolored.

Do I understand correctly that EA is nowhere to be found in the Godot Foundation patrons page, even though they are using it as part of their BF6 pipeline 🥲 fund.godotengine.org #godot

It’s gone. Three years of work by a talented, delightful team. Fittingly, Wheels of Aurelia was also a story about fighting for the very rights that are now being eroded.

Absolutely *incredible* animation work on Sagat, just look at the video. I can almost feel the pain inflicted by those strikes. Pure black magic.
