@fasc1nate @grok is this really Central Park? Wasn't it created in the 1800s?

@Xhaluksabuncu @pickover What is squareRoot(-1) in your number system?

Mathematics. Late-night musings, before sleep. The first five people who correctly solve this will be ecstatically happy for the rest of today.

@MV_Raffa @KoBeWi_ @SandorHQ @godotengine Yeah I was assuming something similar to jet brains products, which allows running arbitrary code after hitting a breakpoint. This would be amazing!

@KoBeWi_ @SandorHQ @godotengine Ah, thanks!

The theme for this #DevSnapshot is speed 🚂💨 Experience rendering, editor startup, filesystem operations, and more becoming faster than in previous Godot versions. But that's not all! Read the #ReleaseNotes for more cards up our sleeve 🃏 godotengine.org/article/dev-sn…

@kasarmert @bitbrain Man the game Industry is such a weird place. I'm thinking this noise will all blow over in a few months? Godot may be led by a few individuals, but the project contributors are the owners and from a wide audience spanning many beliefs and values.

Funny how the people who claim they hate politics in game engines are the ones most obsessed with Godot's politics. Shouldn't they be the ones focused on the tech? The irony is doing cartwheels.

@pigdev It would be great if all devs of all political backgrounds and beliefs can just collaborate together without stirring up all the fights. I recall a time not long ago when folks just respectfully agreed to disagree and that was that.

Just to be clear, I do have a code of conduct in my server and I am in the right to ban you if you violate it. But I don't remember having to ban anyone in the last 2 years or such. Neither have reports from other members. So I'd say it's a safe space.

Months ago members from the #GodotEngine community reached out to me looking for a "safe place" to relate with other members of the community. They complained that they were getting banned from ridiculous things like saying "guys"(which is supposedly not gender neutral).

@Akien Remember the Godot icon memes going viral? Hopefully more of this type of thing and less noise for everyone. Projects are super difficult to manage especially with many varied opinions and values. Stay safe all.

@reduzio Makes sense I think, less complexity and noise the easier it is to spot problems. Or what would you think is the reason?

@KenneyNL Phase 1: Add googly eyes for all popular game engines Phase 2: ??? Phase 3: Profit!! 💸

Stronger and googlier together. 💪

@KenneyNL @godotengine Googly eyes, Makes everything better

THEY DID IT THEY ACTUALLY ADDED GOOGLY EYES

@reduzio Always appreciate your work! Be sure to take more vacation time. :)

@NoGravityHere @NathanGDQuest @godotengine Trello and similar tools are awesome for this, in my opinion.

@NathanGDQuest @godotengine at this point i should keep a doc of all the cool stuff i keep seeing as a quick reference for the future

This terrain editor for @godotengine is already great and it keeps getting better! You can tell it's developed by and for game developers with a lot of attention to detail. And it's free and open source software! Be sure to follow Cory github.com/TokisanGames/T…

@ABoringLadder @crunch_rock @reduzio We had this one guy, few years back, dedicate his time for several weeks to creating throwaway GitHub accounts and spam the main repo. It was off the rails. I don't understand it, but mental illness is also a thing.

@crunch_rock @reduzio There are definitely haters… it’s really weird too the specific haters I see almost feel like a cult. In fact there is one account just dedicated to hating Godot… very bizarre

@RMHayes5 @bradflix86 @InternetH0F Off by a factor of 4. ($0.25/day) * (365 days/year) * (100 years) = $9125

@reduzio Running in the CI? Sounds like a good idea at least for a suite that doesn't take too long. Maybe run the full (> hour) suites on releases?

@clairem_sl @Xrayez @pak_jungsu @abhinav_Demkeys @reduzio I don't understand, it doesn't appear Juan stated Jolt was maintained by the Godot foundation? Godot is just a tool. If you aren't into it, for any reason, I don't see the need to continue to use it, begrudgingly?

@Xrayez @pak_jungsu @abhinav_Demkeys @reduzio Wow, in your unrelenting hate of Godot, you have yourself become a toxic tweeter. No positivity, just hate, accusations, and bad-mouthing. Simply amazing how you're willing to spend so much energy on hate.

@c_pruett @coderman64 Gdscript also doesn't have any garbage collection, there are however some (not all )reference counted objects.

@coderman64 Heck, let's just write everything in assembly. Why pay for the overhead of a compiler? What could possibly be more important than raw, unmitigated execution speed?

This conversation is insane. The role of an engine like Godot--made with no particular game genre in mind--is to expose flexible creator tools and adapt to developer needs over time. Flexibility and adaptability is 1000% more important than raw perf. "You should spend time optimizing code the profiler has never complained about" is an engineering astronaut take.

@POLYXPER @reduzio Lol this thread again 🤣

@reduzio OK , i understand. Sorry for the disturbance. P.S : I love the sketch of "Godette" as a mascot for Godot

@reduzio @lawnjelly There really isn't anything else comparable in open source game engines, to Godot. Most things I've seen are much more feature limited, niche etc. I admit I may have some ignorance in this aspect as there have been many up and coming engines lately.

@reduzio Yes, I truly am perplexed by game industry trends. No one would put up with all the proprietary nonsense in typical tech... with exception of government contracts.

@therealpatwhite @dotinvoke @necrophanto @reduzio Market cap for most game companies is a drop in the bucket compared with big tech. I think it makes logical sense.

@dotinvoke @necrophanto @reduzio Greed at the top and risky passion projects at the bottom (I don't want to imply that indie games are "at the bottom" but money holder wise they are)
