It’s been refreshing to write about my other interests, which are a bit too technical for my usual audience. This feels personal somehow.

Where does it say in Godot's documentation that in order to emit the body_entered signal in a RigidBody3D, you need to change Max Contacts Reported from the default 0 to minimum 1?

I'm just too tired to look for it, and I thought it was pretty asinine.

Here's a link to the script. It was hacked together to get a carbon copy of a web app state for presentation purposes.
Notes in the comments.
Don't run console commands you do not understand.

The good people have pointed out alternatives, which may work better.

Another suggestion… in addition to bookmarks, why not have “liked” history?

A page was interesting or answered a question, and you give it a 👍. Perhaps use this info in the search bar in the future?

The “save page” button in browsers has been broken forever, and it’s easily fixable.

Don’t just save the source. Everything is scripted and will not work.

Instead take a snapshot of the DOM tree, and Base64 encode images. Leave Script and frame elements out. Inline stylesheets. Carbon frozen copy of the state the page was in in one standalone HTML file.

I scripted a console command to do this in 3 hours. It could save the front page of Google.

I may put that in a Gist if people are interested.

Browsers are pretty poorly designed for how I use them. My tab list is like

- search engine
- page in documentation
- search engine
- random forum
- search engine
- wikipedia
- search engine
- etc repeated twenty times.

I feel there's space to improve but I don't know what or how exactly..

I was looking at how to deal with buffer overflow in integers in Godot.
Then calculated how much time it would take if I incremented a value every millisecond.

Roughly 300 million years. (signed 64-bit)

I was optimizing millions of years prematurely. 🤦

I think Gimp might be the most authentic, but something like pixel composer would be nice

So my vision is to make an Ratchet&Clank-like with retro 3d visuals, taking a page from Pseudoregalia. Cyberpunk motif. I have a design for the main character that I’m pretty happy with, but remains to be seen how it translates to low poly.

Godot feels like a thought out kitchen. Things feel sensible and organised to make a dish, with or without recipe.

Unity might be closer to a kitchen in a restaurant. Heavy duty tools, won’t get in your way, but eager to sell you their franchising services.

Unreal I would label like a large industrial kitchen, with specialised tools to make Fortnite sweet rolls. Bring a drill and a welder if you need something else.

I'm looking at input handling in Godot, and I'm a bit puzzled. Given that that I want to support two players, is this really the way to get input axis?

The Input singleton has the "get_vector", but it doesn't seem to make a separation between devices?
