I don't normally do film rants here.
But "F1 The Movie" is the biggest PAINT BY NUMBERS sports movie of all time.
No originality.
Rough around the edges old timer comes back. Training montage of old-school vs new-school. Tensions rise between young upstart and old timer.

Tired of manually matching collision to a mesh in #GodotEngine? Or constantly creating new nodes with the built-in collision generation feature? I made an addon that automatically syncs collision with meshes, with lots of neat features. Grab it here: github.com/CozyCubeGame...

Fascinating read on Gameplay Loops and their danger.
