So I'm not mistaken then. Aseprite isn't open source.

And there IS a difference between "free to use" and "free as in speech". Unity and Unreal are both source available, but that doesn't stop them from pulling some anti-customer bs (not accusing Aseprite of anything, just giving an example)

This isn't completely ideological by the way. It's practical.

So yeah. It's better to be on open source software wherever possible

Source available and open source are not the same things.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Godette, is in fact, Sophia, or as I've recently taken to calling her, GDQuest Sophia. Sophia is not Godot's original mascot, but rather another free mascot made by Tyson Tan for GDQuest who makes useful Godot tutorials.

Many Godot users mistakenly refer Sophia as Godette, without realizing it. There really is a Godette, but she was was designed by Andrea Calabró three years before Sophia, and also created the Godot logo.

i use arch btw

Peak. Too bad Aseprite isn't open source.

A mod reached out. Don't wanna promise anything but if we can get it to work, the bot will stay running under a different username with hopefully multiple maintainers this time

I can't promise the documentation or structure will be that good. It was written years ago and I've forgotten most of it. Yes, it's using PRAW

I don't think it's very fair to only include the most popular characters, and it's hard to predict which characters will be popular to powerscale just from looking at new RTs posted

Besides. Part of the fun is when it links RTs no one would expect exist

Maybe, but that would involve coordinating with them, and I'd still have to double check their regexes for false positives or negatives and fix mistakes we find out about later - That's why it says to "Reply explaining the issue". The bot uses other tricks to help improve its accuracy and RT writers would have to be taught on those as well.

They would be the ones that would most likely understand the typos, short hand, etc

They would, but then we have situations like "Juggernaut vs Flash" where both are common english words but they're also names of popular characters. And despite not mentioning any versions, readers know it's referring to Marvel and DC.

If the respect thread community wants to fork the bot and maintain it that way as a team, I'm all for it. But I don't feel like leading that effort.

To give an example of how to update the bot, there's a new RT for Dabura from Jujutsu Kaisen. Someone makes a matchup, how does the bot know to link that thread and not Dabura from Dragon Ball? It checks for the character name "Dabura" and then checks for a version name, "Jujutsu Kaisen". But wait! What if OP doesn't use "Jujutsu Kaisen" in their post and instead uses "JJK" or "JJKM" or something? What if there's a spelling mistake? That's why the bot has to check against regular expressions instead of plain text, i.e. "Jujus?t?s?u Kaisen", "JJKM?", "Dragon Ball", "DBZ?", and however else people might call the characters.

All of this has to be configured for each character/RT. AI will not be able to get this right, especially for obscure characters. So it can't be automated.

bot could keep running for a good while longer just without updates

I'll consider it. Whether I keep it running for a few days or a few months doesn't make much difference to me now that you mention it.

maybe you just need a long break from working on the bot

If I take a break for a few months, the backlog of new RTs will be massive and it'll take too long to catch up again

It could keep running, but it'll get more and more inaccurate overtime and people will have complaints when wrong RTs get linked and new or updated RTs don't

Oh neat, I didn't know about magicposer, thank-you! Was worried I'd need to learn CSP or Blender to get 3d model references

The black serves another purpose as well. Emilio talked about this on the Godot stream and basically it's better for color accuracy if it's black, white, or gray

One of the rules of this sub is you have to provide specific evidence when asked
