I have been tinkering with those settings recently. I really enjoy how powerful editing the environment is, though I was getting freezing (not just Godot itself)... I think caused by multi-window mode.

I'm using untextured*+low-poly models though, so the advanced stuff is a bit hit-or-miss. Or maybe it just seems that way as small issues like light leaking are more prominent without textures.

Also when self-shadows are ugly I'm not sure how you fix that (other than perhaps not making concave details) when creating models. Doesn't seem like you can just disable shadows via material without also scripting the sun to hide when indoors (masking likely is the solution, but that is node config).

* vertex colors, I was messing with a shader (altering normals) until I found that lambert_wrap is what I'm looking for to improve vertex shading. Also, fog is applied to unshaded (though you can also disable fog per-material)

"Parkinson’s Belt" is a term. Is it related somehow? Similar toxins from the bacteria or water contaminated by industry/agriculture acts as germination for said harmful bacteria?

Does it need to be paid in a specific way? I would like to see the most petty way it could be paid out. I imagine with such a large amount people would quit or refuse to count it.

A lot of different game styles could work with a single directional light, with different possible techniques (ceiling/background) for top-down and 1st/3rd-person.

Though I think I found the best way:

NORMAL = (vec3(NORMAL.x, 1.0, NORMAL.z));

EDIT: Actually, diffuse_lambert_wrap is what I'm looking for. Although for more distinct shadows, the normal editing does look better than the other shading modes.

Volumetric fog seems to tie it all together, working even on unshaded and seems to pair well with a lot of settings to give different aesthetic options. Really fun just iterating on settings (lights, environment, materials, shader) in my test scene with a simple gridmap. But my editor keeps crashing.

I'm feeling a workflow here, and really liking the effort:results ratio. I have a fever dream of a scene and more ideas too.

For a practical test, search for kbin.social (and then ctrl+f for it also to get the direct results). Or, just look at a community: [email protected]

The only thing that appears missing is the ~~avatars~~ images. Though I assume the text content is doomed in the long-run when it comes to new instances, as I doubt re-federation (3rd-party federation) is a thing. Unless of course, someone manually crossposts said content.

I feel it's more true for Nim-lang. No dealing with pointers (it's possible, just not a normal thing like int**, Nim has newer memory management options like arc/orc). There's also stuff like for i in 0 .. 9 (and ranges like that have more options/uses too)**

I mean I guess there is overlap (both languages have UFCS and interop). So it might come down to syntax or specific implementation. Though I imagine for those who like the braces style, there are other options to look at like Zig (or Rust, there is complexity but also popularity).

I know there is some difficulty when it comes to a language being niche (at least when lacking knowledge), and that's certainly my experience with Nim.

* the asterisk is instead used for public+importable

** I guess D does have this as foreach (i; 0 .. 3), though not quite the same

Even in the deepest suburbs it’s not that hard to form community and connection with your neighbors.

I get that it’s less “fun” to go out and make friends if you don’t got a riverwalk and cafes, but the most important ingredient is still there, which is other people you just need to step up and make things happen.

There are so many angles to why isolated people don't "just go out and talk to people", though I will spare the rant as I live in an area likely much less densely populated than a suburb so I'm not sure how well my experience would map to what you're saying.

Well, other than it's a lot easier for some people than others due to many aspects (like the bit you mention about dogs will work better for someone who also has a dog) but those are already the sort of things that are the difference between someone with some sort of social life vs someone with none.

You use AI to code for you.

I alone use the wrong type of hammer to slowly and frustratedly get very basic tasks accomplished once every season if I'm lucky...

we are not the same.

All I can think here is
