Transparent textures usually have bad values in the RGB of the transparent pixels, causing visual artifacts on lower mips. Wrote a little tool to pad PNGs with transparency to TGA with alpha. Code, .exe and explaination here:

Padding Transparent Textures fir MIPs and Game Engines
For rendering and game dev, transparent textures usually have incorrect color values in the areas where alpha is zero. This can cause…

@w4games.com More bugs to squash on your awesome build platform: When you add a build profile to a matrix, after you save there's no way to see what profile you picked. "Compile profile" in the matrix header just says "has been selected" instead of showing the build profile name. #godotengine

@w4games.com Please let us clone matrix configs so we don't have to manually recreate an existing matrix just because we want the same matrix but with a different build profile. #godotengine

I love how Linux tells me beforehand how much extra disk an update will use or -- please sit for this -- how much will be freed. That's right: #Linux often gives you space BACK after an update. You might ask Linux, "Is this magic?" Linux will say, "dpkg -l | grep grep." Linux weird. Linux good. 🤖

Constant vulkan compiling with shader editing in Godot 4 vs 3 is nuts. 3 and opengl was instant recompile on same potato device (Intel integrated). Now 30 secs wait every edit. My solution: type 'stop' on last line to logjam the auto compiler, make all edits in one go, revoke 'stop'. #GodotEngine

MURDERBOT composer Amanda Jones on her distinctive, instantly iconic main title music: "I wanted to get the audience AMPED and ready to watch the show." (And let's not forget that mesmerising, introspective beep-booping end music.) #murderbot #tv #music onthescore.com/amanda-jones...
AMANDA JONES is the lethally ironic musical mind of MURDERBOT - ON THE SCORE
Ironically snarky robots go back to the days of Robby in “Forbidden Planet” and C3P0 in “Star Wars.” But it’s doubtful that these wiseacre droids would have had any problem […]

I don't understand anisotropic texture filtering in Godot 4. In Godot 3 it works as expected: looking at a texture front on, anisotropic filtering does nothing because it only kicks in at oblique angles. But in 4, it straight-up blurs the image no matter the angle. #godotengine #godot #gamedev

@w4games.com build failed, "Invalid value for option target: editor. Valid values are: ('debug', 'release_debug', 'release')" -- presumably because I'm building for 3.x but it's using 4.0's different new 'target=' values. Tried using all my old scons flags but being overridden by other selections?

At Develop:Brighton, Aaron Ridge and Dan Evans-Lawes from Deep Silver Dambuster Studios served up this terrific technical study of Dead Island 2's gore system. Fascinating, visceral, a little bit corny -- just like the splatter movies they wanted to emulate. #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=98j3...

Fractal texturing shader fun. Not only does this approach let you use tiny textures to get crisp textures at any distance, it does a great job breaking up texture repetition without a lot of complex shader code. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dug_... #gamedev #Godot #GodotEngine

I keep getting followed by strange accounts that I think are bots. Usually they'll have an AI profile pic & banner, with a plausible but strange name, like "Bowser's Awesome Games", have 0 posts but repost a ton of random stuff based on keywords, and the bio usually lists those keywords.

Spot a bot and BLOCK! Don't blindly refollow: check the profile for signs:
1. High repost-to-reply ratio, e.g. all reposts, one or two replies that add nothing to the conversation.
2. High following count (1K and up)
3. Hyphenated name, AI profile pic, generic desc

I love, appreciate, and will keep using 3.6, but this is the silly, pyrrhic red line I set for myself to switch to 4.
