I feel mildly optimistic that we won't have to watch the "antagonist is the hero" approach from the Last of Us 2 game, in the tv series...
The video game is 65% playing the antagonist :(

Thanks, I've never had the pleasure.
Not knowing anything here, shouldn't all UE libraries be prebuilt? Or is it always building from scratch?

I have tried PTHREAD_POOL_SIZE, PROXY_TO_PTHREAD to no avail.

Are there any good test projects online one could look at?

Anyone have experience with #Emscripten + pthread support?
I currently have two issues:
1) the threads don't start
2) the app doesn't call Module.onRuntimeInitialized
