Also in exciting news: I've published my little blueprint exceptions plugin on the Fab store. It lets you raise blueprint exceptions from Blueprints and CPP using Assert and Verify behaviors. With support for auto-breakpointing on errors and custom diagnostic messages

If, like me, you're sad that the #UnrealEngine Data Validation plugin no longer clears the message log before reporting errors, good news!
This details a simple fix with no need for engine changes:

Again it is something that people in previous eras have commented on but I still find it just astonishing to witness in my own: fascism is somehow the natural ideology of loser men, just all of our most pathetic and contemptible instincts rendered into a worldview.

Part of this is because of how unavoidable GenAI tools are becoming.
Does the Google AI overview count in search?
Does the chatbot in Unreal Engine count?
Does using a GenAI coding tool count?
Does using GenAI to generate meeting notes count?
Some would say yes, but you can see the issue

I am looking into this, I've reached out to Steam directly, and I'm actively pitching stories on this subject of the platform's shaky moderation. If any other devs have experienced something similar with reviews and moderation, do reach out.
the Steam team responded to my support request and said they will not remove the review calling me a liar and ridiculing my sexual assault because of censorship concerns.

if Steam refuses to enforce their community guidelines and allows harassment, what can i do?
