This is easily my most anticipated game for next year. :)

That's a much smaller selection than I'd have expected. With all the money and manpower Google can (and probably did) throw at this project, I'd have expected them making sort of a bigger splash for release, when they're guaranteed to get a lot of media attention. If they don't expand this meager offering really fast, Stadia will vanish into the dark really fast.

It has been a great time for us! The one negative thing about this story that actually surprised me is that our market share is still the very same 1% it was before Steam for Linux launched. I would have bet that with all these games available now and Windows 10 the buggy spyware it is, it would be higher by now... oO

Sometimes its really strange how very small and less-than complex contributions that would add absolutely essential features to Godot seem to get stuck in the approval-queue for ages. Like for example https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/23864 that would allow adding properties to tiles and is needed for pretty much any 2D RPG or RTS imaginable. I was really hoping to see it added to 3.2, but I guess not... :S

I get why they feel they need to become a more serious option for 3D games, but personally I wish they'd get the 2D side right first, because I think that's what most current Godot users are developing.

Other than that, glad to see that 3.2 is coming along nicely, anyway! :)

Quoting: scaineI think this is the first the I've ever been called an extremist though! That's new! :S:

You and me both. Although I have been called all sorts of other things, by a certain side of the political spectrum, that is. You will get used to it. It's the price of standing up against said certain sides the of political spectrum in 2019! ;)

Quoting: Purple Library Guy2) They want to evade the common meanings of something for political reasons. So suddenly if we talk about sexism or racism we get all these postmodernist, deconstructionist right wingers wanting to quibble about linguistic indeterminacy and, not generally having a background in English Literature, not doing it terribly well.

This. Right there. It's super funny how the last line of defense of these people always seems to come down to that. It's really laughable. There is no objective definition of "love" either, and yet everybody knows what it is. Likewise, the concept of racism/sexism/bigotry/etc is well enough established in the general population that it's really safe to assume that everybody has an understanding of what it is, even the racists themselves. Resorting to linguistic hair-splitting is just a cheap attempt by these people to shut down the other side's line of reasoning, and that's really all there is to it.

Quoting: psyminBut I prefer to put my energies into communities that are welcoming of civil dissent and diversity of opinion

I am not sure what part of the CoC made you think that civil dissent and diversity of opinion isn't welcome. I didn't find any of that in there. And neither scaine nor myself have said anything to that extent, either. But yes, I do really not think that racism, misogyny, sexism, homophobia and bigotry qualify as "civil dissent" by any stretch of imagination, and neither are any of these things an "opinion". Being a pathetic moron isn't an "opinion". I guess that's really the thing where we don't agree on.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPIf that misogynist in your project behaves just fine towards everyone in the project and the users and does a good job - what does it matter what views he holds privately?

I have never met a misogynist who was able to hide their crappy personality for long when there was a female around, but even IF they somehow could hold back in my project, I -still- don't want to work with a person who I know beyond reasonable doubt, is a douchebag. It's my right to chose who I work with. Again, you're more or less saying that voicing douchebag opinions is fine, but not wanting to be exposed to douchebags, is not. It's hypocrisy, because by doing that, you implicitly rank one side's freedom higher than the other.
