He really puts the "lay" in "You've been such a Lay-Z-Boy."

"wHaT's ThE dEaAaAaAaAAL WiTh _____??"

...I don't understand how that guy apparently holds a ridiculous amount of power in the entertainment industry lol.

Whether or not that was the original intent I LOVE this interpretation. I like to be entertained and err on the side of "Maybe this is a deliberate choice these very smart and passionate people made to smooth out a story."

Sometimes I feel like people get mad that they aren't just dropped into a completely fleshed out imaginary world.

It's entertainment delivered to them as they relax in a chair, requiring zero effort on their part, and they make it a goal to nitpick whatever reminds them this slice of imagination was designed by humans, and isn't actually a fully functional parallel universe they can literally isekai into to escape the mundanity of modern existence.

Critic culture is overrated, and I wish people would exercise their suspension of disbelief, basically. Hahaha

This perfectly explains where we got retail management hierarchy from.

Heehee I mix them up all the time, too. :P

I mean yeah, screw it. I wanna believe in the voting system but the guy's been on calls with state representatives being like "Gimme sum voots."

Conveniently the whole narrative is about their opponents conveniently cheating? Psh.

Yeah his type only win when they cheat, and you're right, they're almost always incompetently, red-handedly, stupidly guilty of whatever they were blowhard accusing the other side of.

(wince) "aHHHHhhh!...(wince)...Aaaaghh!!... It's in my raccoon wounds! :("

And that sort of thing totally DOES permeate throughout the industry. Whenever Pixar or Weta(RIP?) or Cameron or DreamWorks or whoever invent something REALLY COOL. . .

. . .At some point we eventually get it in Blender, and I think that's neat.

See my brain OCR said "Tooth Fairy Spiders" and I was like "Oh THAT makes sense but I'm feeling brave." But ended up sort of confused. 😂

Honestly both. Global football has its hooliganism, and U.S NFL fans are also quite notorious.

I wouldn't crash on all sports though. The ones with the gigantic corporate leagues that profit from people engaging in more-than-harmless tribalism (i.e: the NFL) aren't great, but there's a lot of excitement to be had in watching really skilled players out-compete each other toward a goal.

Except it bothers me how acceptable it's gotten to just be yet another vector for predatory gambling. Disgusting.

I also hold contempt in particular for U.S football because of how ridiculously regularly players are giving each other head trauma. Nobody should be enduring that life-threatening brain jarring for a friggin game.

Continues: "Heh, imagine that, Billy. Just, bursting into flames because the stuff got within mere feet of you. Wow. What a way to go..."

I'm a Blender hobbyist, yeah. I wouldn't say I'm "into" animation yet but I'm taking a course right now. Making a ball bounce believably is insanely hard! But I'll animate one day. :)

You really nailed the ominous glow of the Atlas' eyes. :D

Spielberg

...Y'mean..."Lucas"?

Or to reference another overrated work: John Galt. Lol

Ahh so THAT'S what they meant with the whole "It's about nothing!" thing...

This was really informative, thank you so much for taking the time! Definitely bookmarking this. :)

I was looking up further why you'd use a bare repo over a standard one. Somebody said for just sharing a repo between users, "snapshots just take up unnecessary space."

...But would that mean you can't roll back history? Maybe I'm ignorant on the term snapshot in Git context lol.

But yeah, I really appreciate the post and I think that'll get me on the right foot, to actually developing games instead of setting up yet another tool and procrastinating what I want to actually be doing anyway. 😂

Glad my instinct was correct about not using Syncthing for this purpose. XD

I remember this confusion a LOT back when main-branch Blender had its own game engine built in.

Forums were full of people saying crap like :

"Don't use that, because since you used Blender which is GPL it means you have to provide the source code to your incredible GOTY contender and then everybody will beat you at life!!!"

There was a lot of trepidation about this, but for the first few years they not only kept their promise about supporting FOSS, but actually made it better by allowing small private repos to get many of the services that were previously gated for open FOSS or paid repos.

• They embraced! :D
• They extended! :D
• . . .aw, shit. :/

I've only a basic understanding of using Git myself, but I think I'm gonna learn it with a self-hosted Forgejo for my Godot projects too.

Then for the parts that don't have feature parity, I won't know what I'm missing, and I have no need for "iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD LeAdiNg oPtiMiZeD sYnErGyStiC wOrKfLoWs" or whatever hahaha.

It does definitely present a conundrum if you want people to see your open source software though. Damn network effect. =\

Definitely not because its bite is plush and soft, like a mouth full of cotton. That'd be a dangerous assumption one could make. 😬
