Of course in some situations it’s the right choice, but if you’re doing lots of spawning /despawning Child BPs frequently it can add up quickly

Gotcha. If those base classes had Actor as their parent, you could reparent them to your Interact Actor subclass. I find myself reparenting BP classes quite often when I find a better way to rebuild a system.

One downside is spawning actors always has an overhead cost and it tends to be quite high

Autocorrect changed “its” to “a” but I figure you get the gist.

Actor > Interact Actor Parent > Interact Actors

I’d subclass Actor as a BP, add the necessary components, then subclass any Actor you want to have the widget hint as a parent BP

specific maguffin aside ("TEH AUTOPEN") what they are doing here is laying the groundwork for undoing a previous president's orders due to mental incapacitation and we'll see how that bold strategy eventually works out for them I guess

I’m old enough to remember when Sonic started appearing on Game Boy Advance and Nintendo platforms it felt like “ok, time to wrap it up” and that’s what I think of when I see Master Chief on PlayStation.

So Never Say Never Again is actually a second adaptation of Thunderball by McClory because it was the only Bond story he had the rights to use, due to Fleming adapting a script idea without proper credit. Really weird bit of movie history.

Ben Nadler @bennadler.bsky.social · 10d

It’s a bit more complicated. It’s not an official Eon produced Bond film, hence its exclusion from box sets. There was a big lawsuit around Thunderball and Eon settled with the producer Kevin McClory that gave him rights to the story with some restrictions.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.
