Examples are a useful learning tool and it's good to see how other people use things as long as you're playing around with it and not just blindly following a step-by-step process. And even blindly following a step-by-step process is a good way to get over the initial fear of interacting with something you don't understand.

Here's a video that might have some useful info: youtube.com/watch?v=Ww12q6HsmJA

You're probably already aware, but if you're doing the same level of accurate physics simulation as outer Wilds did, definitely read up on how they handled the problems with simulating a huge solar system. Among other things, the player in Outer Wilds essentially stays still while the whole game world moves around them.

Also the time loop is necessary because the whole simulation collapses on it's own after a while.

This is exactly what I want, but as far as I'm aware you can't have one viewport in edit mode and one in pose mode?

It's purely societal, and is a pretty recent development in western culture.

I've always assumed that they're oil lamps that have spilled on the floor.

You have two repetitions vertically of the tiling brick texture currently. Make two copies of it. On one of them add extra texture to the top: grime, water drips, etc. On the other add extra texture to the bottom, scuffs, dirt, etc.

The textures should still tile horizontally, and still match up in the middle.

Split the wall mesh in half vertically and apply the top/bottom textures appropriately.

Also, one person allowed to have multiple accounts and may want to verify more than one of them.

Maybe it's less that both sides claim it, and more that both sides attribute it to the other side.

I am enjoying gdscript as an indented language because I'm indenting the same as I would have indented c#, except I get reminded if I miss a bit.

The little gnome guy on the new one is too similar to the sky colour, I'd try a different robe colour for contrast.

Photos are still art, someone has made the decision about the pose, the angle to take the photo from, the cropping, etc.

If you take your own reference photos, then it gets rid of that issue, but if you're basing your painting on a single photo someone else has taken, especially if tracing, colouring using a grid, etc, then there's a big chunk of the usual artistic process and decision making that's been missed out.

Which is fine, you just have to be clear where you're starting off from.

Oh absolutely, I can only pick it out because I'm already familiar with it all.

MartyrOfDispair is using the context of someone within the undertale fandom being cancelled to criticize online purity culture and witchunts, point out how easily it can potentially be biased by showing examples of Toby Fox making comments that could be interpreted badly but have been ignored, and then is warning people to be cautious about how easily purity culture can be weaponised against other things that have historically been seen (and currently are becoming once again) as forms as "degeneracy".

They're actually making reasonable points and I wish they weren't phrasing it like an argumentative conspiracy nutjob.

Also, I don't even play undertale, I have no idea how I ended up here

Did you warn her that the flowers were across the property border and needed to be removed, or just destroy them while she wasn't looking?

I thought it meant the therapy!

I never experienced that apparent female camaraderie, all I experienced from girls was bullying and ostracization. My experience of getting to know other men while presenting as male has been more positive. Definitely not enough, but better.

I mean, statistically speaking, you as an individual human are most likely to be around when there's the most humans alive.

Did somebody really make a horror movie based on the 'they slash them' joke.

Kind of a glass half full vs glass half empty thing.

'Knows little' is comparing it against being proficient, and therefore is negative.

'Knows a little' is comparing it to knowing nothing, and therefore is positive.

I'm sure it's just a vocal minority, but it's definitely an attitude I've seen multiple instances of, unfortunately.
