That seems to be the accurate usage. "Compared with" for similar things, "in comparison to" for dissimilar stuff.

Yes, also this.
But to be fair, this applies to a lot of things, not most, but still a lot, since language is alive.
Yet another factor to confuse us, but this one I don't hate, since it is just a consequence of a language natural evolution over time.

Or rather, looking it up again, it seems one is used to compare similar things while the other is used to compare dissimilar things.
Always have a hard time wrapping my head around the difference.

These subtleties are confusing. Always have to look up "compared with" vs "in comparison to", because one of them also implies one of the options is inferior, or something like that.

The Enslaved game is great!

In a stand up show by Don McMillan:
Don to a member of the audience: what do you do?
Dude: I'm a software engineer!
Don: Sorry, but you are not an engineer. You are just a smart writer.
(or smth like that)
Since then, being a programmer/developer, I just think of myself as a smart writer 😂

Very charming and fluid animation, congrats.

Can't come up with an atomic example, but I have a real use-case: traversing DAGs (some might consider them tree-like, but I think the mathematical concept, as well as possible configurations, are more complex than a tree).

E agora q BB tem armaduras tá muito daora. Embora eu goste da estética de modelos 3D com membros separados da era PS1, os modelos têm um charme especial.
Muito provavelmente vou adotar o BB pra um projeto futuro.

Acho que ambos são ótimos, dependendo do requerimento do projeto (e é claro a preferência pessoal tem peso tb), mas tbm acho q pra low-poly+pixel art, BB tem a interface mais intuitiva e eficiente.
Quanto mais ferramentas de modelagem de código aberto, melhor pra nós usuários.

Best werewolf design in the history of entertainment. (okay, that might be overdoing it, but at least, it is the best design that I know of , or at least the one I find more beautiful).

I intend to release the first level of the game in a month or two (hopefully). Until then the content in the development branches has a soft lock to prevent people from being spoiled. Just a bit more time and it will all be available again to everyone.

What a cozy little charming environment 😍
I don't recall having ever laid my eyes upon such art style (at least not with that exact configuration). May I ask the engine/lib and tools used?

IMHO both are fine, it all depends on the requirements or art direction of the project using it.

Which is why I've been curious to see what people can make with BB.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I don't have a favorite, recommend both, depending on the requirements/art direction of a project.
It is just that for many low-poly or voxel aesthetics I personally feel like using Blender is like using a bazooka to hunt rabbits.
