One of the most difficult parts of #LearningGodot has been accepting that

- Beating your head against a problem for hours & getting nowhere
- Accepting that you're not fixing this today & walking away
- Coming back the next day and solving the issue in 8 minutes

Is a normal part of the process.

Halfway to rent and our rent is due TOMORROW! Jittery time lapse representing the state of my mind.

€1000 over two days is highly unlikely but very sale saves us from accumulating more debt!

This is AI, sorry everyone! This guy didn't make this. The guy he credits in his pinned post ALSO didn't make it. I found the guy who "made" it on instagram and he didn't make it either: a computer did. Oh well!

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

The issue with me is, if I share what I'm working on (I'm no longer doing tutorials, I've moved on to an actual game), I'm afraid I'll lose momentum.

So, not gonna do that.

I'm allowed to share it when I have a vertical slice with zero programmer graphics. Not a moment before.

I am trying to maintain my commitment to not discuss what I'm doing in #LearningGodot lately, but suffice to say I just figured out how to do a thing a really wanted to do, and I am very pleased.

That's all.

This is one of 2025's best movies. But you won't get to see it compete at the Oscars.

It's called Nobody, and it earned almost $250 million on a $10< million budget. A future is coming for small, risky films β€” with or without the Oscars. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-t...

Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.

If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.

If you didn't like it? They took you out.

Toussaint Louverture.

Toussaint Louverture.

Haitian General Toussaint Louverture was one of the biggest thieves in history! He hit the biggest lick of all time! He stole 10,714 square miles of land, and 500,000 slaves! Seriously!

France forced him and the freed Black Haitians to pay reparations to plantation owners for the "lost property."🀑

Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

That was a dog whistle the same way people who vociferously defend the artistry of "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves" is a a dog whistle and you'll never convince me otherwise

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

The dominos meme, where the smallest is labeled "Video games are Pearl Harbor, part 2!", a real Jack Thompson quote, and the largest is labeled 'GDQ raises $60,000,000 for charities worldwide.'

...Remember Jack Thompson?

Oh, for an age when the shithead, profiteering concern trolls were treated with the derision they deserved, instead of appointed to federal positions.

These people are casually demanding that Battlefield 6 become the fourth bestselling game in history, after Tetris, Minecraft, and GTA V.
