Since Gab is being frustrating I no longer really have any place to do content dumps and I'd like to be able to chat with people exclusively about game dev and I don't want to spam KIA2 with stuff even if people might be interested.
As I've often posted about I have done a huge amount of research into game dev and Blender in particular. Got an entire archive now of all sorts of techniques I've looked up so I'm putting out feelers seeing how many of you would be interested in learning about gamedev and 3D art especially but I can also just randomly shitpost about 2D as well depending on what people are wanting to do. It would also mean something a bit more interesting on this site beyond GamerGate 2.0 and politics.
What do you guys think? Worth it maybe? Let me know and yes the autism shitposting will probably include lots of GDScript stuff if anyone has any questions about that. People could also help each other in crafting their own perfect game rather than dealing with the neverending Sweet Baby Inc. clones. It would also be nice to have a place to dump troubleshooting on software that isn't reddit.

Made the community.
I would say try it. Please post the name here if you do go forward. Is your hesitation with Reddit mostly a technical issue, or do you want to avoid the rabid politicization of the communities?
Both, it's just become cancer generally, something I've noticed with my research is more often than not I'm stumbling on 3 year old posts at a minimum when it comes to Godot and it's pretty annoying. I think making a new community and spamming autism on the documentation among other things would help a lot of people.
It's so bad in some cases that on one video about 3D box selection for example I went out of my way to reverse engineer the code a bit and get that all working and post it in the comments page because it was the only complete tutorial around. Granted, was quite proud I did that, but there are better ways to organise the data lol. I just need to double check formatting and ask the admins if they can tweak it to make code posting work well.
