Secondly (more controversially), is a picture of a noose racist? I mean, it certainly has racist connotations and I personally wouldn’t have used it, but (bear with me) I’m not sure racist is the concrete conclusion. Lots of people have been hung throughout history, if you’re not viewing it through a racial lens then are you a racist or just very insensitive.

I see what you’re saying… but it seems like a technicality that’s not worth exploring here.

If instead it was a guillotine with a caption of “this year’s detention activity”… it’s really not any better. Like it’s no longer racist but… now it’s just purely about killing kids in a more equitable homicidal format. It’s very dark humor in a very public place.

It’s a lot of time and effort and argument to debate “yeah this was terrible but it might not have been racist”. Does a definitive answer of “at least it wasn’t racist” make this appreciably any better? Does it make them any more likely to get a teaching job after this?

It also doesn’t change the core argument the teacher is making in the story. “You lumped me in with a bunch of racists because I was white. I took down the image because it was offensive. Obviously. Why would I leave it up if it was offensive?”

You can’t mention the dominator and not add a gif of it moving from non lethal to lethal mode

I know but if they were smart they’d say they’re gonna take an hour to do it, find the footage in 10 minutes and goof off another 50.

Pull a Scotty, then you’re productive and lazy. It’s just disappointing they can’t even procrastinate properly. I feel bad.

I mean, in the era of VHS this won’t work because ultimately you’re fast forwarding and rewinding. So you’re gonna watch it anyway. but in the digital era I thought this would be what any Police officer did?

Like… they’re not even gonna spend 10 minutes on a theft?

“at scale” it could be just as bad. C02 isn’t poisonous the big problem we’re dealing with is we’re putting C02 from the ground in oil and coal and putting it into the air. We’ve been adding C02 that was NOT in the environment into the environment.

Yeah some water isn’t a bad thing, but if all of a sudden we’re adding from sources outside of the water cycle a LOT more water into the atmosphere you’ve got increased clouds, increased weather patterns, All of a sudden the inland portions of continents can start dumping as much water into the air as a warm ocean, that can DEFINITELY be a problem.

… I mean it wouldn’t imbalance C02 but you would be adding water. At scale that could be just as bad.

Carbon neutral, yes, but water positive.

Honestly they seem out of fashion nowadays. It’s one more thing to move when you move, it cost a lot for very little, most people lack a tool set to attach it to the bedframe.

If you imagine the old timey beds the 7 dwarves slept in in snow white, they had their names on the foot board of the bed and the headboard of the bed was on the other side of the bed by their head.

While this looks cool, my phone can’t actually scan any of these. Anybody else have any luck?

right? they’re pretty impressive. Although the cat one I saw was definitely AI made with all the weird limbs of the cats.

What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time, the beginning of every end, and the end of every place?

E, it’s a really mean one when delivered verbally

I always use edge whenever I’m making a public presentation with a computer I use. Simply because I never use it. Then autocomplete won’t embarrass me if we look something up.

I’d buy that. I’ve had amazing vegan and vegetarian chilis from cans, but never anything of the same quality from something with meat.

Am I the only chaotic neutral here? I code on the right and do everything else on the left.

PSA:
Edge is also what you should use whenever you’re making a public presentation and need to open a browser.

Why? Because you never use edge, therefore autocomplete is almost empty which means you can type:

1. x
2. p
3. h
4. r

With full confidence that NOTHING will appear that you will not want public.

Brotato is in Godot? nice.

Not only that, sharing that fix is just so trivial. No trying to coordinate “you need to download 13.1.7.6 RC2 from Unity’s main site”

They focus on entirely different things.

Godot is small. I would’ve loved to have it in high school because I would’ve dumped it on a flashdrive and built games on whatever computer I had access to. Even on flashdrives from the early 2000s. You will feel weird installing it… because when you download it it’s just a .exe and it just… runs. No “let’s check for updates” no “let’s create an account” no “hey can you answer this survey?” It just, goes from the moment you double click.

Godot is entirely open source. Which sounds like a meh reason if you’re not an EFF warrior but is SERIOUSLY useful if you want to do weird stuff with a game engine. You gotta PAY if you wanna edit source code to Unity. On the other hand, you can just freely edit Godot. If you want to create a brand new tool within Godot’s interface, the hoops you jump through are trivial. Hell, Godot’s editor is actually a game built within Godot they’re literally teaching you how to edit the editor as you’re making games. Meaning if you wanna veer into the avant guard weird ass shit as a hobby. Godot is the better option.

The GDscript might sound like a detriment, but it really does trivialize a lot of game engine specific concepts and tasks. Meaning that once you start getting used to GDscript… you no longer have to worry about a lot of things because the language takes care of it for you.

Unity though, has a larger base. So importing assets are trivial, porting to consoles like the switch are vastly easier (so I’ve heard). If you’re planning on going big… Unity will probably make your final steps easier.

It’s because it’s a feature 0 people will complain about adding if it all works well. It’s a small, minor, completely unnecessary detail.

If it’s there, then someone had the time, the energy, and the freedom to add it, just because they wanted to. It’s not an item that will make it on the checklist of a minimum viable game.

If it’s there, it’s a very good sign.
