I've gotten as far as I could, but didn't do everything.

I guess it just wasn't in my circle because I haven't heard much about it since release, but good to know it's more popular than I thought

Bloody tiny ribbon cables…

Yeah... They're sturdier than they look but it's still scary that pulling on one of them could completely ruin the joycon. My bigger problem was the battery connector, I intended to remove the battery completely but after trying to disconnect it twice, I gave up and just moved it aside. I was too worried I'd break it.

Oof, how did that happen? Left it out under the sun?

Yeah I'm aware of the hall effect replacements which are pretty cheap, but this fix was essentially free and should last me at least a few months until the sticks degrade. Once it really stops working I'll look into opening it again and fixing it for real.

Just finished the video, and I think it's a fantastic intro to using lights in Godot! I want to mention though that SDFGI runs terribly whenever you move the camera quickly, so I wouldn't recommend it for any serious projects. There's a PR to replace it with something better (also mentioned in the video) but there hasn't been movement in a year, so who knows when that'll come around.

Yeah, it depends on whether you expect the 2D view to be on the floor or on the wall. If it's on the floor, Z is up. If it's on the wall, Z is forwards & backwards (depth). Personally I think it being on the wall makes way more sense since we already expect from 2D view that Y is up and down, it feels weird to shift it to forwards & backwards when switching to 3D.

After all those years... I can't believe it...

As long as it isn't illegal, I guess. That said it'll be really hard to find people on an already niche community using tor.

There hasn't been movement on terrain editors, but there is one or two popular addons for terrains that have gotten good improvements. I think Terrain3D is the most popular.

For level streaming, the devs said they need to rework a lot inside the engine for it to happen, it's a long-term goal. There's been a lot of improvements to the codebase and especially performance in 4.5, but yeah it's not quite there yet. I wouldn't recommend the engine if you're trying to do something open-world or with huge levels.

I forgot about this, but AFAIK you're still better off with fstab to give yourself all permissions for everything to work properly.

I was just adjusting my fstab today... Genuinely blows my mind how far Linux has come and I still have to delve into hard to read text files to open my damn drive when I boot my computer.
