That's not what this is about

Is this about that time Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) played the grim reaper in The Twilight Zone

Or is this a different reference about a different Geroge playing the grim reaper?

Why does a startup let people do this? Were people not able to do this before and now with a start up suddenly they can? How much does the start up get?

A reminder that the Confederate Constitution literally said black people would forever be property

Article I Section 9(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed

You just keep that on hand?

While they physically kill the most birds by volume, the biggest decrease to bird populations is the ecological destruction of the environment. The pesticides we use actually make their egg shells non viable, but for some reason none of the studies count this figure in the "birds killed" category. It would double cats.

On top of that, we have deforestation wrecking their mating areas. People like to measure forestation in ground covered squared, while ignoring that the vast majority of migratory species only mate in specific areas.

Circling back to pesticides, the food supply has been wrecked. The food that is left avaliable is often filled with chemicals still that cause diseases, make their already fragile bones even weaker, cause feather malformation, blindness, organ failure, and cause outright sterilization.

But for some reason that's not listed in the "birds killed" figure.

Cats might kill a bunch of birds, but with a figure that's as broad as 1 to 4 billion, you need to question the validity of the argument and wonder why they leave so many other factors out of these figures.

It's the same kind of thing where they shame us for individual level consumption of pollutants and plastics, while corporations greatly outweigh consumers pollution. Both are a problem, yes cats do kill a shit load of birds, but this reddit level factoid keeps getting spread around and the reap threats aren't being educated on. You can't really say they're the "number one thing killing birds" unless you're using the figures that outright ignore other important information

Oh you mean the god level genocide episode

Dude accidentally killed 50 000 000 000

I have a solid black cat that you can just do anything with. If he's laying there you can lay with him and he's happy or you can pick him up and carry him ti a whole other room and put him somewhere and as long as you give him a few pets he'll be happy.

Yes, it is. They don't have to vote that way, but free speech means I get to make a case for it.

That's literally democracy.

I actually managed to get mine done early this year, April 13th at 4 am.

Any update? (self.boostforlemmy)
 

Not trying to rush, just curious if you're planning on releasing soon

 

I feel like Godot's AnimationTree is significantly more valuable and useful than Unity's Animator component. You can nest your Statemacchins or blend trees or BlendSpace2Ds. You can attach scripts to individual Statemachine Transitions if you wanted.

You also have access to the Advance Expressions, which is a fantastic way to not have to manually set a billion bools

And you can actually manipulate all of this from code, something I detested about Unity was how locked out I felt from the Animator component, and the legacy animation system is beyond old and depreciated. Godot doesn't lock anything away and you can modify everything you want from code, if you need.

Curious if maybe I missed something with my time in Unity, but it made me frustrated and annoyed more than anything.

 

It's so much louder than I would have guessed when I first saw it. Youtube videos are really hard to gauge when determining sound and sound quality because of mic quality, youtube compression, then your speaker quality, etc, so I hadn't gotten my hopes up too much.

I put some ball ended nylons on it and it sounds so fucking smooth. I had seen negative reviews saying it sounded like a cheap plastic toy, but they're either elitists (you know the kind of people Im talking about) or they got a defective unit.

So happy with this travel guitar. I opted for the acoustic/electric version just for the built in jack. The built in sounds could be better and their app kinda sucks but the sound of the actual guitar without the enhancements is incredible.

I mean, yeah you could find a cheaper guitar at a pawn shop or something, but this thing is tiny and temperature resistant. I work in south Louisiana where it's literally over 100s almost every day this month and humid beyond belief. This is the perfect travel guitar

 

I'll be working on my first game jam game, courtesy of my friends' brilliant ideas.

I usually stay out of them because I never could come up with any mechanics, but I asked my non game dev friends and they supplied me with some stuff to bound ideas off of.

I'm excited to use Godot because of how quickly prototyping can be done, and my idea is no more than a prototype really.
