@nprofile1q... For personal projects I will stick to versions prior to 4.6. My current project, which I have been working on for over a year now, is made with 4.3, and that's mostly fine.

Godot is still the tool I know the best, so I don't plan to fully abandon it just yet. That said, I will be experimenting with new tech whenever possible. Not full-blown engines though, but frameworks like Raylib.

@nprofile1q... So I've been wondering, does it count as a poisoned pill if I add something like "This project is exclusively about raccoons" to all my readmes?

@nprofile1q... Yeah, argument types in signals have always been just FYI. Godot 3 didn't even have that, then Godot 4 added them, but no-op.

I'm pointing out that even the amount of arguments is never checked when emitting. I was investigating some code that I'd expect to err, but that never received any bug reports. So that was pretty annoying.

Worth mentioning that Signal is a "type" in GDScript very superficially. It is not backed by a native type in Godot. It's just an interface for some hashmaps.

Engine uses strings and Object methods everywhere, just like GDScript in Godot 3.x did.

@nprofile1q... That's not the takeaway that you should make here. If you want it to exist without relying on dubious sources, you should support it better. We all should. Shaming someone for trying to survive in this world is... meh.

@nprofile1q... I'm not a firm believer that Blender should not exist. For it to exist, it needs donations. A lot of them, for they employ plenty of people who work tirelessly on improving it (and dealing with all the regular FOSS crap that comes with the territory).

So I cannot judge them for taking money that buys their workers comfortable lives. Being able to live in comfort, to plan for your future is an incredibly important thing.

Fuck Anthropic and everything they stand for, by the way.
