Be careful out there fellow bi critters.

During #bisexual awareness week, bisexuals have disadvantage on all stealth checks.

I'm sure there's a tendency to always view the past as better, but the social-media-ification of the Internet has really sucked a lot of the joy out of entertaining people. When it was peripheral to the broader Internet, you spent most of your time making stuff. Now you gotta learn 8 to 12 platforms that mostly want you to act like an employee of their algorithm.

If you're dumb enough to buy a new engine this weekend, you're a big enough schmuck to come to Unity!

The Godot Splash Screen repository has been updated based on your feedback! Now neatly organized in folders, 7 new screens (including horror themed) and 18 vector logos.

Unity reportedly told a developer that their charity partners Planned Parenthood and a children's hospital were "not valid charities" and were "political groups":

I got a full boot of the 500kloc game core on Godot, it's feeding frames and waiting on input.

The rest is "just work"; though there is a substantial amount of work in the VFX/sound/UI rigging, the derisk is complete.

14 hours.

#poll Which is more work from start to finish?

Look, the world sucks, everything sucks. OK. But instead of just lying there simmering in suck - go outside. Go for a walk. Hug a tree. Play a game. Do something joyful in defiance of the darkness all around. Call your mom. Pet a puppy. Throw rocks into a pond. Just don’t let the darkness of the constant news flow ruin another day - a day that is a gift beyond measure. #joy #life #mentalhealth

the shit unity's pulling right now is horrible, of course, but if a lot of people switch to godot because of it, that's a great silver lining. imo it's a lot better designed overall, it's friendlier to beginners, and it is of course open source
