Anyone need any help with anything Godot-related? Doesn't have to be game stuff - in addition to games, I have a lot of experience with business apps written in Godot. Just applying to jobs at the moment, but taking a break.
Sure hope the swag bag was worth a Nobel prize.

The rule of thumb in Godot is that if you have to await a frame in _ready or any other callback, you are almost certainly doing something wrong. #GodotTips

Does Gemini have some sort of soft limit, where you give it too much context and it just starts blowing stuff up and forgetting to take names? Definitely seems like there's a bug somewhere. It can still proceed, so not a hard limit, but it's ugmo.

Honestly, at this point, my dryer is 90% dryer balls and 10% clothing to dry. They're like tribbles.

Yeah, I mean, of course women throw themselves at me all the time. But that's the price I pay for having really big, awkward feet that trip people. Men do it too.

Well, I've gotten so invested that I'm getting shoes specifically for Zumba. It's so unbelievably fun, and my current shoes make my side shins hurt awful-bad.

I've always wondered this!
Do billionaires know that they can hire indie gamedev teams to make them entirely bespoke games to order?

W4 Games, the #GodotEngine commercial support company, have just killed off one of their major products, W4 Build. On the bright side, they are also open sourcing the tech behind it as part of the process.

Had a funny moment at Zumba but I'm not sure how to interpret it, can you help? Someone from the class before was putting on their coat and accidentally punched me. I said, "No problem, I'm used to it." She got a kind of wry, funny smile on her face but didn't say anything and left.

I know a lot of women are excited for grey sweatpants season, but I just got out of an 85 degree Zumba class (no one, myself included, could figure out the stupid thermostat), and I guarantee that I'm never wearing these pants to class ever again. THEY AREN'T COLD OUTSIDE, DO NOT BRING THEM IN!

I'm waiting for one of these "is it cake" shows to cut into a real toy and to destroy a bunch of children's lives as Bluey or someone gets knifed.

If Zumba is to be believed, nearly 70% of all words in the Spanish language are "cintura." (Waist.)

#GodotTips If you use Godot and create resources, you'll find you often want to add a class_name to them to make them easier to use. Here's a quick template to do that automatically for you, putting the name you give the .gd file for the resource as the class_name.

Holy crap. I hadn't gotten the latest beta of Godot in quite a while due to studying for my taekwondo test and working on my mobile app really hard to get it to a releasable state. The new theme/skin for #GodotEngine is AWESOME! It's so sexy now. Dang!

Incontrovertible opinion: Race for the Galaxy needs a Duels version equivalent to what 7 Wonders Duels did for the original game, streamlining it significantly and just making a better game overall.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, LiSA and Felix's Reawaker was my number one song this year. It's such a good song, and Felix is so damn hot.

Why can't I block things on Netflix? Dumb missing basic feature. I don't ever want to see anything with Matt Rife in it on my feed. That guy is a total piece of white, cis-male privilege, and not even remotely funny.

The show Legion, about David Haller from the Marvel comics, is actually incredible. It uses a lot of metaphor in it which, while not missing altogether from more popular Marvel media, at least is nowhere near as prominent as in this, imo. There's also, I shit you not, a lot of interpretive dance.
