Talk about anything

Yeah snake case is way better. Never used it before Godot. But now since I spend most of my time in GDScript (also some Python for school) I realized it's much more readable. It also promotes writing longer full sentences.

Memories of getting frustrated over cyclic inclusion in gdscript scripts are keeping me from sleeping (it’s that or watching Dunkirk at max volume). While easy to fix on their own, and supposedly soon to be “fixed”, I can’t help but wonder if there’s some coding methodology I never learned about that would have prevented me from running into that problem in the first place? Something like... “the top down coding style for dummies”.

Probably the best book is Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, which is required reading if you want to be a senior programmer. Though it doesn't exactly explain cyclic dependencies, it shows you the structure and architecture of good code so you don't have those issues. https://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Object-Oriented-Addison-Wesley-Professional-ebook-dp-B000SEIBB8/dp/B000SEIBB8/

But it's not a "for dummies" book. I found this, which looks really good (just bought it). Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture For Dummies https://www.amazon.com/Pattern-Oriented-Software-Architecture-Dummies-Robert-ebook/dp/B00AM1WDWU/

Well one of the authors is an Erich with an h so I'm in. Got an old copy I can borrow =) ? I do want to be a senior programmer, thank you.

I watched the new Matrix four times and I might watch it again tonight. It was so good.

Today is a Tough day cancer wise, and it has become very difficult today to do anything, as my cancer took a turn for worse today. Hopefuly I'll feel better morrow. what happens to art and games when the creators die? Does the spouse just get them? Had to sign papers not to resuscitate me if quality of life would not be possible.

I know my stuff isnt very good, but still would like to know just in case I accidently create a popular game.

I also and starting to shop for a laptop on case I have to go to a facility- that way I could still read and try to create, maybe play some games.

I ordered a blender book which arrived today and my wide is tickled pink- she has fallen in love with it. If I would not have come to this forum and listened to Cybereality's reasons to use blender she would have never discovered it. SO far I bought her a tutorial series on udemy, this book, and setup her system.

My wife want to know who are the most inspiring 3d artists over the past decade or so?

That is not actual people but Unreal engine? Correct?

No, that's a shot from the movie. But this is in Unreal 5 on a PlayStation.

I'm so sorry. I wish you all the best. I have no idea about cancer, but I was diagnosed with diabetes not that long ago and now I have to take like 8 pills every day, but things are looking better now (it's been about 6 months since I started taking it seriously).

In terms of content ownership, I think it would only make a big difference if you had a company. If you are working solo, then you could just give your wife the source files, it's not like anyone would even know she didn't make it. And in general I would say incorporating is a bad idea unless you know you have a really big hit on your hands. Though if you are really concerned you could create an LLC and give your wife joint ownership. But this is probably not needed.

If you want a laptop, I can get you one. It's no problem. Consider it my Christmas present. Just send me a PM, we can discuss the details. Cheers.

Ugh diabetes is just as rough and dangerous as cancer. One of the nurses here was talking about how blueberries helps combat some aspects of diabetes and has low sugar effect. Dont know if that is true, but I bet you could find out. Thanks.

Well, maybe not past decade but Syd Mead was always an inspiration to me and many others. Arguably more of a product designer and concept artist but it was always meant to transfer into 3D.

I've been eating bananas. They seem to help.

Wow, this thread got depressing while I was away. Anyone got good egg recipes?

cybereality

What I found interesting. maybe this is obvious, but white eggs come from white hens, and brown eggs come from brown hens. Sort of like chocolate milk.

Wait, really?

Yeah, for real. It blew my mind, I only found out a few years ago.

It tends to be the case, but it's not 100 percent. It's just a species thing. There are few species of white chicken that lay brown eggs and vice versa. Leghorns are the most common white chicken used for egg laying and they lay white eggs and Rhode Island are the most common brown chicken used for laying eggs and they lay brown eggs. https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-brown-eggs-come-from-brown-chickens-and-white-eggs-come-from-white-chickens

It's also a cancer preventative along with members of the cabbage family, especially broccoli, but needs to be eaten green. Broccoli sprouts are even better. Also walnuts. Cranberries. Mushrooms. I can't think of the others. If I had cancer I would be eating them. I eat a lot of them now. They mostly prevent diseases in general. I can't afford to go to the doctor so I eat the healthiest diet possible and get exercise. So far, so good.

Also , check out Vitamin D. It has a lot of health benefits.

Over the years, what have you guys learned or noted can kill a game? The last game you played for example, can you identify what ultimately formed your lasting opinion?

Personally I can say bad sound design doesn't just put a shot gun to a game's knees, it's aimed right between its eyes. Conversely, a game can get away with a lot so long the creative direction itself is solid.
