This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.

If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

The bee update is coming along nicely! Already got some basic honey production, harvesting, and simple bee behaviours implemented. It's like being back working on Equilinox! #gamedev

I like to do a supermarket shop in the evening. Tell my wife because it's quicker when it's quieter. It's actually for the joy of gliding down the aisles on the trolley without people in the way. I'm an accountant and company director in my 40s.

Two very important graphs.
Net migration reached record levels in 2023 - and has since halved.
The vast majority of arrivals comprises students and workers.
Arrivals in small boats and asylum seekers - less than 5%.

a note on LLM research from Douglas Adams
"I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."

We’re quite deep within the Singularity right now, though it’s turned out be the Singularity of Stupid (SoS), which effectively prevents the original concept of the Singularity from happening.

As noted elsewhere in this thread, Isaac from Crystal Clean Windows York Limited came over and cleaned the restaurants windows for free and helped remove the graffiti.

‘If I felt Zuckerberg and Sandberg were monsters, I wouldn’t have worked at Meta’: Nick Clegg on tech bros, AI and Starmer’s half measures
When Britain’s former deputy PM took a job at Meta, nothing could have prepared him for the ‘cloying conformity’ of the tech world. So why does he still think social media is a force for good?

Off to Gamescom tomorrow! Been preparing loads of decoration for the booth and stuff to give away over the last weeks. Also, a friend very kindly printed some 3D models from the game - and they turned out great!

I'll be in the Indie Arena Booth area, hall 10.2. Hope to see some of you there!

Not to add to the discourse, but…

It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’
It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’
It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’
It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’
It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’
