Godot has had hundreds if not thousands of pulls go ignored or ditched, because it didn't fit the 'vision' of the original team. A fork that just keeps up with core and implements more things than core would already be ahead of the game.
It all comes down to velocity though, previously there wasn't enough reason or interest to start a real fork, now there is.
They are going to have to rebrand https://github.com/Redot-Engine/redot-engine/issues/18
But lets try and keep up with this and see if it has legs. It really looks like they broke the camels back and a significant portion are ready to do an honest fork.
"Management" has made a lot of poor and even shady decisions over the last year, as well as blocking a lot of legitimate features and improvements for years now because "you could just write that yourself."
I wouldn't even bother with Battle Gate Voyager, but that's just me. You're a long ways from that decision anyway.
Atlantis is my favourite and definitely should not be skipped. SGU they leaned hard into trying to film it like Battle Star, and bullshit character drama and love triangles, and only one somewhat likeable character. Doesn't help they actually cancelled their top rated show in Atlantis hoping it would force people to watch it.
Atlantis premiered after the end of Season 8, and the two didn't have a direct crossover until after SG1 ended. So the first seasons are fair game before you finish SG1.
Google is, as always, completely full of shit and anything they say should always be discarded.
It was more than 10 years ago their project lead for "AI" said they were just going to keep making more complex programs until "AI" magically stuck to the wall.
In the last 3-5 years it's been nothing but playing catch-up and trying to pretend they know what they are talking about.
They will also need your personal info to find that info on the (dramatic echoing voice) "dark web" so double score for them.
This is true. The jeets did have, at one point some amazing architecture that stood for centuries and was reverenced by their people. But not anymore.
I really don't think it's as much a matter of race as it is the end result of socialism and/or genuine overpopulation. Iodine deficiency maps also correlate directly with modern low IQ maps, and that 19th century understanding is lost in the modern expansion of 3rd world countries.
We WILL see this here in the west, and the influx of jeets is only a cover for why it's really happening. (Communism/Socialism and the subsequent complete loss of knowledge on proper nutrition.)
After all, even when the world functioned entirely on mass slavery, the slaves behaved better.
We all know the internet is somehow 35% Canadians, and Canadians have a serious Jeet problem.
Did the same a few months ago when I learned of this game on patriots.
Nope. 25 minutes I spent, tried rural farmland, cities, palaces, mountains.
Nope. Always trash.
It's mindboggling. India is absolutely massive, the sheer amount of trash this must equal is beyond reckoning.
I'd call that a score. I have books from disparate sets and was lucky to get them $5 each.
I've had my eye out for a deal on the Chronicles of Narnia from before they changed the book order, and have had no luck. I have a single book complete set, and a 90s-ish box set with the new "chronological" order, but finding an older box set is a bitch.
I will respond to this in full later; things to do and all that.
I think we actually agree on much of the basics, we merely approach the "entirety" of the WW differently. As a whole I think it was one of the best times to be alive in all of human history, but it was a very unique period of time and place where their was no real external threat. The savagery of the natives and the mexicans (both contained to specific locations and times) was nothing compared to the competing nations of other periods and times, such as the shifting tides of the Moorish invasions and the Crusades and the "total war" period of Europe.
In case my passive aggressive snark is not translating correctly, I am trying to have a civilised discussion with you.
times and places where that was not the case as well.
And those times and places were overall, a very small part of the two centuries we call the wild west. As well as being localised to specific territories, while other territories experienced very little problems.
And given Stefan's ideology, he will undoubtedly bring the facts that paint history as sympathetic to his belief's and very unlikely show the ones that disprove him.
Since he completely ignored Christianity entirely, I agree with you here.
However, the crime statistics he brought for places that are known from western movies as hotbeds of crime, do shine a light on the narrative many of us were fed in school. Even the worst cities were safer than any modern US city even adjusted per-capita.
You have successfully illuminated a lot of the issues I did have with that video and the presenter, and will say you are right about him. But it still remains that over the 2 centuries of the "wild west" and the millions of square miles it consisted of, over 90% of the time it was peaceful and prosperous.
I had relatives who lived through the final decades of it, and heard about the WW from the horses mouth so to speak. So I always took issue with those who claimed it was some barbaric time where everything sucked. I can appreciate when even someone I may ideologically disagree with can point to factual information and say "that's just not what it was really like, for most of the people, for most of the time."
Okay, you have lots of reasons to dislike him, and I never did say I agreed with his conclusions. I don't.
But in this one specific video, the only thing I have ever seen of the man or cared to, he brings plenty of receipts to prove the very simple point that the WW was not anywhere near as dangerous and lawless as many have been lead to believe through nothing more than repetition of the worst of it.
In the United States we have massive amounts of records, genealogies, newspapers, biographies, contracts, legal and court records, to trace the entirety of the so called wild west, and in those records we have the safest cities, with the lowest crime levels, to have ever existed on earth.
Exemplifying the "wild" part of the wild west has served at different points: the advancement of federalism, the marxist 'noble savage" narrative, and the push for "progress" in the form of degeneracy and the welfare state.
If I cared to make videos I would have linked you mine. But I can separate presented facts from the presenters bias without much issue and it is a failure of mine to expect the same of others.
Funny, he never mentioned anarchy, but yes factual information ceases to be relevant if it's presented by someone you don't like.
He never touched on Christianity either, the real reason why these people maintained "civilised" even as they left "civilisation." Feel free to ignore his presentation of history and continue to believe the wild west was "lawless" and dangerous because that's what some communists put in your school curriculum.
There is an official translation now which finished the last book just a couple years ago, now is the best time to read it in English.
Watching the anime IS reading a book, lol. Only anime I've ever had to pause on occasion to keep up with the dialogue.
Only have the first book so far, and it's worth it. I like that the book actually explains the timeline and technology better, where the show spreads that information out piecemeal through episode intros. The translation is decent, and I've seen reports that the quality goes in later books as the translator gets better at maintaining the authors style.
It seems to be a retelling of certain aspects of European history from a Japanese point of view which might be, say, interesting.
It is good, the space battles are based on actual European conflicts, and so they play out a lot differently than other shows, and that's the draw of the show. It's a genuine long form war as predictable and unpredictable as a real one. Neither side are really the good guys either, both governments are corrupt and failing in their own ways, both have heroes and villains and internal strife.
As an aside, the show makes excellent use of classical music for it's score and battles. It's worth watching the anime for that alone.
the genre was done to absolute death for decades.
And yet, people never actually tired of watching them, pedowood got tired of making them: https://infogalactic.com/info/Rural_purge
There was an expectation of heroism, family values, and pro americana in the genre, and pedowood wanted to make movies and shows about suburbanites and degeneracy instead.
Those resurgences were as you say, attempts to alter the formula towards leftism once it had been long enough for the positive expectations to have waned.
It was a lawless time
This was always government propaganda because there were far too many people living peaceful lives without the government.
Here's a deep dive into the actual history of the wild west, specifically that violence and 'outlaws' were so exceptionally rare, that's why we remember them all by name. The way that these 'lawless' people left government behind and maintained a proper civilisation is genuinely remarkable. And that's why the entire period must be deconstructed by marxists.

Props for understanding the real problem.
Awesome, thanks for that detailed response. I'll keep an eye on the sales.
I've played the literal Card Battle game that Firaxis made after Xcom 2 (Midnight Sun)
Was it any good though? It's finally trending towards a decent sale and I've been considering it. (Lot's of other games I'm still more likely to pick up though.)
I genuinely thought the pictures of this show were complete satire until just a couple days ago.
Hubris.
He was out to prove himself with LotR. But by the time the Hobbit was greelighted he was "mother fuckin Peter Jackson!" And everyone was guaranteed to love it.
The Tolkien Edit is actually pretty good. Though it cuts a few things I would not have, and leaves a few more than I would have. There's still quite a few scenes that can't properly be salvaged, but it's still way better than the unedited.
It's funny, LotR isn't half as good if you don't watch the extended edition, but the Hobbit must be watched in abridged form.
No, he's right, it was Arwen, Elrond's Daughter.
They had this whole Xena Warrior Princess vibe going and DID actually film a lot more scenes with her all the way up to the Battle of Helms Deep (many people don't even know she is still visible in several background shots). This is why they had her save the Hobbits in the beginning, and take over Elrond's job of summoning the river, instead of being book accurate and only meeting her inside Rivendell.
I've heard two version why, one there was a leak at the time and there were enough real book fans paying attention to pitch a big fit about how much they were changing the books. Or, that Liv Tyler was so bad at acting the role, Jackson couldn't stand to see her pretend to fire one more arrow. Either way, the whole thing got dialed back, and they decided to add the weird dream sequences to keep her in the story.
I can only imagine they planned to have a whole love triangle cat fight between her and Aeowyn too.
Pretty sure it was always women?
Going back to the very beginning (2000's ish?) of the claims that more women play games than men, it was because of Farmville on facebook.
Facebook and Zenimax pioneered the idea of paying to bypass waittimes just a few years before the iPhone became a thing. They focused entirely on the dopamine hit of getting a happy little poppup telling you that something had happened, then making you wait to get the next one, unless you pay just a little bit of imaginary money from you imaginary credit card.
Then mobile phones made the scam 10x more profitable.
But that's only the pure numbers. The "whales" are inevitably autistic men with tones of disposable income and absolutely no friends.
There's that one case of the saudi prince who owns every game on steam, and likely every dlc, just because. He's probably done the same with his phone. But I doubt that's a particularly large demographic.
The studios do not exist. The executives making these decisions know exactly what they are doing and who they are doing it for, and have a golden parachute and their next job lined up already.
