every time someone thinks my unity assets are overpriced (Shapes is $100) it's like,,

you can always hire a developer or code your own solution then and see how cheap that turns out to be

There was a paper to fix this. https://t.co/AQWHJfyn1B

If you see in the last version of that paper (r3, https://t.co/9cL1A4nD6x takes you to last revision), they had to leave open the potential for not doing left-to-right eval, because one set of vendors fought the authors.

in 5.2 utility widgets stopped working at runtime. with 5.2.1 it was still disabled so had to be intentional. mad enough to look at github

"Update EditorUtilityWidget to only be enabled when we are not in PIE ..."

thank mate for the heads up...

Here's my list of notable engine commits for UE 5.2 version. It's much easier to browse with a separate board per engine version.

With Unreal Engine 5 the new Enhanced Input System left the experimental state.
And with 5.1 the old Axis and Actions mappings became deprecated.

Unreal Programmers:

Did you know you can VERY easily expose your C++ code to Python? The same magic that exposes functions to Blueprint ALSO exposes them to Python.

TArray becomes a python list, TMaps become dicts.

Let your tech artists automate all the things!

@vzverovich I liked the Swift book, when it first came out I could download the free e-book version and read to learn swift pretty easily at the time. I liked the offering of that format. The web version is also nice. https://t.co/13ZHqC5wNE

I was able to speak to former and current WotC employees for this latest piece, and the situation inside the Seattle stronghold is dire. Here's a report on some of what happened in between the OGL 1.1 leak on Jan 5 and the apology yesterday.

Huge leak from an insider @Wizards

It's what we feared: the higher ups despise us, the D&D community, and see us only as an "obstacle to their money".

Subs on D&D Beyond are all WotC care about, so I've cancelled mine. Let your voice be heard #opendnd #StopTheSub
