Triple-Platinum & Mithral Best Selling DM's Guild writer. She/Her. Demisexual. You can pry my Oxford comma from my cold, dead hands.
I probably check your YouTube once a week just to see if you ever put up a tutorial for that foliage. :P Gorgeous!

I love that their first reaction to this was "uh-oh."

They're figuring out the kobolds have a unique way of life, language that doesn't resemble any they know, and very inquisitive kids. One of the kobold kids tried to lick the druid already.

Next week, they return with more scientists to help. :P

I had a lot of fun making pause-screen quotes for this game.

Also the joys of Discord:
"Watch out for their claws and their bites."
"Did you say their claws and their butts?"

I'm 99% certain it's a heat issue. Gonna try blowing out the vents, but I don't have high hopes for practicing modeling on this vacation.

I mean, my dreams massively outpace my skill, so right now I'm focusing on a relatively simple 3d platformer. Though in my head I'm already imagining Dark Souls style level designs, ala shortcut opening, delivering lore via item descriptions and atmosphere, etc.

Mind you, the responses aren't even "I don't know, I'm abstaining from listening because I have a specific objection to the content or creator." Maybe they do? But that isn't a point anyone seems interested in making. They'd much rather announce they choose ignorance.

It makes me sad. (end 🧵)

But it feels like there's a pride in ignorance among these folk. They wave it like a banner, screaming "I refuse to educate myself!" from the mountaintops.

I'm embarrassed *for* them.

I would be so deeply *embarrassed* to proclaim that I didn't know something that was so readily available. To loudly announce with pride that I don't know what something is, rather than keeping my mouth shut, just feels... I don't know, like such a bizarre concept to me.

I don't listen either but it took me 5min of Google to find out she apparently had an in-depth conversation with her guest about the trials of raising children in the limelight and protecting their privacy.

I know I'm usually the odd-one-out in running to Google the second I have a question but....

I've noticed, more and more often now, people commenting online about not knowing something, like it's a badge of pride. I saw mention of Kylie Kelce's podcast dethroning Rogan, and the comments were filled with "What does she even talk about?" "lol who knows" "I don't care, I don't listen to her."

Ooh, apparently they're using Dragonbones/Spine skeletal animation, which looks like it's kinda in the same neighborhood, though I don't think I'd heard of them before myself. Thanks for the link!

Ooh, looking really nice! Is that using Live2D for the animations?

I haven't decided yet but I might actually wind up cell shading it once I get it into Godot!

Learning GDScript right now! But I'm also watching Harvard's CS50 course online, might do CS50x after, so depending on how that goes, I might pick up some tidbits of Python down the road.

Look into Gridmaps! I just started learning them myself. You import the building blocks and it makes it easy to paint them on a grid for roads, platforms, walls, etc.
