Axe Ghost. Now with Fragments mode

(in case you didn't know: if you wrap a container's child in a basic control node you're free to animate that control's properties again, they're no longer controlled by the container)

Godot 4.6's tracy ↔ GDScript support will be incredible!!! using a few guides I compiled the engine, export templates, tracy, and I exported Rift Riff – tracy is showing everything in an extremely neat overview; see the video!

Links to all compile guides & PRs in thread 🧵👇🏼

wow that looks extremely helpful

marines are harder (or at least more of a pita) imo because of all the edges to be highlighted.

"while some computer code can respond to human language in the form of text, it does not come close to capturing what humans — and their brains — accomplish in their understanding"

i expected the article to try to support this claim, instead it just ended.

I'm not convinced. plausibly: a human mind contains an important system that's quite close to a word guessing program with a lot of words (and the way it gets good at predicting the next word is that it encodes/is endowed with a model of the world those words originated in)

This compaction is incredibly lossy, too. Humans forget the vast majority of the information they process. Luckily they’re used to it so they don’t get freaked out by it

how this sausage is made

Got sick of the terrible documentation on Steam and wrote my own on how to upload stuff.

'relative peace' erases U.S. history of coups, invasions, proxy wars, bombings, and regime change.

Aniseed balls are a comfit type of hard round sweet sold in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. They are shiny and dark reddish brown, and hard like gobstoppers, but generally only 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) across. Aniseed balls with a metric ruler for scale. The top left ball shows the interior of the sweet. They are flavoured by aniseed oil, with a strong aniseed flavour, and last for a long time in the mouth before dissolving. In the centre of the ball is normally a whole rapeseed, which is used for forming layers of sugar around, although other nuclei such as sugar crystals are sometimes used.

Use as a timing device In the spring of 1939, a magnetically attached limpet mine was constructed in Britain for underwater sabotage actions in the upcoming war. The mines exploded when a cocked spring hit a detonator. Between the striker and the detonator an aniseed ball was placed, as each had precisely the same spherical shape and consistently dissolved in water after 35 minutes, leaving the saboteur time to escape. The first of these mines was sent to Yugoslavia and Egypt in the autumn of 1939.

Reminder applications for our yearly turn-based games festival, Steam sale, & showcase are open now until Dec 12th.

412 games submitted so far, hope to see even more #IndieDev / #GameDev applying over the weekend.

Gaming content creators, we have visibility + keys for you too, check it out!

Godot uses 64-bit integers, so the max value is 2^63 - 1, bu the RandomNumberGenerator uses 32-bit integers, where the max value is 2^31 - 1.

Keep this in mind while generating big random int numbers.

3 (3)

but if we expand 'made' to include 'just started really' then 3 (6ish)

yeah. in godot, nodes lower down in the scene panel draw on top (opposite of image editing software). If one of these overlaps a button that's higher up in the panel and its mouse filter is set to Stop, it intercepts the click, and the button won’t receive it.

So, @ajkolenc.bsky.social and I have started working on yet again another prototype. Trying to test more than one concept to see which one seems most suitable for further development.

This is still very early in development, but it gives an idea of what we are exploring.

Still early days, but this concept is exciting to explore because it includes lots of things I’ve wanted to experiment with (procedural walking, gliding physics, fur rendering, and more)

same. but otherwise A.

oooh, nice!

"you shouldn't speak" is absolutely asking someone to self-censor

was kept awake by having a great idea for #newthing. mixed feelings about that.

it's difficult to be enthusiastic about selective enforcement when the enforcer selects a case to enforce. i get why people object to this. i think that's the issue.

sounds very poetic. no, I have not been asked this, nor know what it means.

bit odd to be criticising censorship while saying that people who don't understand or disagree w you shouldn't speak.

more transparency is always good. yeah, this clause is wtf, so many games plausibly do this.

for sure. and also, to the extent that selective enforcement is happening, that's legit to criticise. I don't know if that's the case here.
