@wowaname I'm talking about 8chan/8moe here.
@wowaname /agdg/ users loved it.
@beardalaxy It's honestly a type of sponsorship that I gave zero shits about. The game can never interest me in the slightest no matter how hard they shill it. But I honestly don't care if YouTubers or other content creators sponsor it.
I honestly prefer that over people shilling VPNs that are known honeypots or meal-replacement drinks with known toxins.
@beardalaxy I can't believe you didn't realize that until now. I've always argued that it's part of the reason why Nintendo doesn't know what to do with the series anymore. The other part was that, along with F-Zero, the series started off as an over-glorified tech-demo.
regardless of whatever the programmers or managers of godot say or think, or who they ban from what, the fact remains that it is open source and publicly available. this is one reason why open source is so important, so that the software can be detached from the ones who made it. if this were something like unreal engine then they could simply revoke your license to use the engine if they so desired, but with godot that's not an option. so keep using it if that's what you like to use because it can't be taken from you.
@beardalaxy Either way, I also want to promote the little guys.
@beardalaxy Someone got blocked from their GitHub.
In the wake of the Godot situation, I am here to recommend alternatives. Not all of these are engines. Some of them are frameworks, but all of these are FOSS and general purpose.
