People can't agree if that means that you can't go into the pool if you've stood next to someone who peed. Or if you have to burn your swimming trunks if you EVER peed in the pool. Others think that if you're peeing clear it's not really peeing in the pool. We are being specific, not wishy washy.

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

Vergeet niet te #stemmen er zijn altijd 150 zetels te verdelen. Als jij thuisblijft krijg je evengoed een regering. Maar dan mogelijk met een waardeloze kwast aan het hoofd. Stemmen heeft zin, is belangrijk, en het kost je 30 min. De PVV en JA21 zijn niet onontkoombaar. #verkiezingen2025

#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

Protip! If you have a DVD rom drive that will read pressed DVDs but not burnt ones, you can adjust some pot meters and then it won't read pressed DVDs anymore either! Follow me for more pro tips.

This Godot Con presentation by @tmm.cx about using the free open source Godot game engine to make non game applications that will run anywhere was fantastic and thought provoking www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywl5... #godot

Eric Drexler announces a new open source tool to design and simulate advanced nanotechnology. Built on the Godot engine! It helps users explore nanoscale systems through physics based simulations. Get it here! msep.one

Currently listening to HP van Braam's (@tmm.cx ) talk on developing non-game applications with Godot. He's been working on a nanotechnology design program. Fascinating subject. #Godot #Programming

I want to become famous in the UK for no reason other than that I want to be on taskmaster. What are the British into these days? I'm sure there's enough time to get on season 21 if I start now. How hard can it be.

Time for a retro gaming FreeDOS LAN party!

No LinkedIn I do *not* want to straighten this image.

Godot 4.4 gave Halloween Harry a nice performance boost on my 6 year old Nuc. Our test level with EVERYTHING ON runs at 60fps with 4.4 versus 35fps with 4.3. I am very happy! Well done @godotengine.org #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGames #IndieDev #buildinpublic #GodotEngine

I got an MT-32! INSERT BUCKAZOID!

-= We hoped we never had to do this but here we are and we now have to do this. =- American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country. We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out. So we made a wiki.

There's got to be a better way to transfer files on a laptop. 😩

Buggy implicit layers are a constant source of pain and anger. Can't remember how many times I helped people with their Vulkan issues and it turned out they were caused by some buggy implicit layer. Luckily the loader now has ways of simply disabling all implicit layers: github.com/KhronosGroup...

Less funny now, now that covid taught us actual humans will do this in real life also. 😔

As a little Christmas present I made CommandQueueMT a bit faster, resulting in a roughly ~4% FPS increase in the Godot TPS demo (on my machine, restrictions apply, read small text for warranty information)! Down with macros! Long live templates! github.com/godotengine/...
