#GodotEngine
I invite everyone of every political stripe to my Twitch Channel at 7 PM EST this Friday....
Topic:
1) My history as mod.
2) Talk w/ other former Godot mod.
3) Godot info you don't know.
4) Why Godot is hurting people with their rhetoric.

Death by sinkhole is one of the worst ways to go, because you could end up surviving in a cavern below... where nobody can hear you or find you... and you will slowly starve to death in the tight recesses of the Earth, driven mad by silent darkness with no help ever to come.

I was bullied in high school, then I threw a desk at my bullies from across the classroom.
That was the end of that.

On top of the transphobia- today, I also learned from Slate, that non-binary people can't use/promote nail polish because it's supposed to be a gendered product.
That's it folks, if you're non-binary you can't touch anything in the world that is gendered... Slate just said so.

Anyone who have thought "both sides of the same" had already chosen their side and cemented themselves firmly on the wrong side.
I'm going to change up what I use my Twitter account for.
I'm going to be using my account to help boost indie games. I don't have a huge number of followers, but I do have 'some' reach, both here and on Twitch.
Got an indie title? What is it?

Right wingers in the comments are jealous and angry because protesters are out there actually fighting against an oppressive government, while they, themselves, sit at home, all glum, only having fantasized about doing it. The difference between patriots and cowards.

There is no TERF who is not a neo-Nazi.
There's no TERFs or "gender criticals"... there are just neo-Nazi's with a different brand.

Are you still protesting and harassing hospital workers as they try to save your life from COVID?
Lemme tell ya, if you manage to survive, it's gonna be one hell of a long recovery.
But, hopefully, your followers can learn something from your personal experience with COVID.

In Canada, gender identity is in our Charter of Human Rights; right along side race, sex, religion.
The war has been won here-- but, it wasn't really a war anyway. Canada, collectively, kinda went "meh" and went about its business as usual... as it should be.

It's reviews like those, that make me believe people who release games should be able to remove reviews that don't reflect actual game critiques-- allow a section for viewing removed reviews, but let them not count to the positive/negative ratio.

This is why I'm getting off the progressive train into my own little pocket of independent leftism.

There are no good cops. None. Anywhere. If you think you know a good cop. You don't. If you see a cop doing good things, you just don't know the bad shit they've done yet-- even serial killers did good things for people when they weren't being horrible.

There was one case where a sink hole swallowed a house, they could hear one of their familiy members from inside the sinkhole, but couldn't find them.
Eventually, the voice fell silent and his body was never found.
They filled in the pit, and a new house was built.

have any kind of terrain editor? We have tilemaps for 2D games, we have gridmaps for 3D games, but not even a basic terrain system? Most 3D games need terrain, and it needs to be tightly integrated with physics. Why has a major component been left out?
1/ You know what.. people want to know why I resigned as a Godot mod and why I've "seemingly" turned on Godot after years of loving the engine? There are few things I am passionate about, but this is one of them... and I'm gonna flame it the fuck up here.

Nobody says you can't make a 3D game in Godot, Godot.
We are saying you can't create high fidelity games in Godot-- and there are critical problems with performance and rendering preventing us from doing so.
This tone deaf approach is why it hasn't been fixed in 8 years.

I was riding a bike, got hit front on by a car, flipped over the handle bars, rolled over the whole car... hit the pavement, got up without so much as a scratch, and said to the panicking driver, "Well, this is one hell of a way to meet someone." Never got a scratch or bruise.

I wrote a basic MMO server that compiles to under 300 kb (not mb, kb)... It handled all worlds, all players, all NPCs, objetcs, etc. The client was just a dumb terminal well under 100 mb, with game graphics, audio, etc.
300 mb is bloat AF.

You got $8,000,000 from your W4 investment...
You ignored fundraising for Godot while you pushed Godot 4 out too early and before it was ready for GDC so you could grift that money.
You say Godot is desperate now... where's that no-strings-attached donation?

I've always describe it as, "Imagine you were born wearing a /really/ itchy and tacky sweater. You can't take it off. Sometimes its cold and you can deal with it, but most times it's too hot and you wanna die. Transition is thinning the amount of sweater you have to wear."

Just because a pansexual person marries one gender, doesn't mean they are no longer pansexual.
Just like if a bisexual woman marries a man-- she's still bisexual, it doesn't change that.

All religions are just a bunch of stupid non-sense, but ain't no reason to boycott KFC chicken.
Instead, I boycott KFC because its chicken tastes like it is dipped in motor oil.

Making games is hard. It's a field that requires diverse skills that take time to learn. Don't be detered by frustration, or diminished by comparison.

The only thing buggier than Cyberpunk are the "gamers" in the comments saying you have to ultra complete a game to review it. No, you don't. If you play a game for five minutes and hate it, you can say you hate it. A review is a personal opinion of your experience.

Anyone who lives in the Canadian NE can see climate change-- we see larger and larger ice bergs every year as massive swaths of glaciers break and come to visit. Every year, we get record breaking summer/winter temps.

One thing you may not like about Godot... there is no export protection.
You can easily unpack a PCK file [which is your project] and have access to all scripts, data, nodes, exactly as they were... and open it as if it was a project you made, and re-export it.

Yes, I was disappointed with the delay, but it's a game. Just a game. If it's a good game, I'll play it no matter when it's released. Tomorrow, next year, or five years from now. So will you.
Hype/release dates don't make good games.

Jolt has been pretty solid-- the perfect example of why it is better for Godot to NOT build important aspects of a game engine themselves.

People have survived many horrific things that should have killed them, including falling out of airplanes 10,000s of feet in the air and hitting the ground.
There is no doubt, some of who have fallen into sink holes found themselves surviving such an unsurvivable situation.
