This is exactly why monopoly on web browsers (or any software category for that matter) is very bad...

[Jake Archibald @jaffathecake]

So, Chrome's "web standard" Prompt API:

Mozilla: Opposed
WebKit: Opposed
Microsoft: Several concerns
W3C TAG: Several concerns
Developers: Mostly negative

Chrome: Ships anyway.

A sad time for web standards. But, I guess someone at Google will get promoted, so 'every cloud…'

@Kappische Gray boxing can totally work if your game has focus on the gameplay, but I do agree that usually does not translate full *feel* of the game. But it can work I would say.

[Lexpeartha @lexpeartha]

@Kappische I think each game should have its own unique value proposition. Now whether that is mostly gameplay and some art, other way around or anything else in between is up to the developers & audience expectations for the kind of game you are making (aka genre/subgenre)

Just a month later and...

🇪🇺 ChatControl is back!

Now they're trying to pass an even more far reaching ChatControl law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any of the EU countries votes

The new proposal:
- total mandatory surveillance of ALL text chats, emails and social media in the EU
- obligatory registration of your ID/passport to your chat, email or social media account
- minimum age requirement for chat, email and social media apps of 16 (!)

The only way to stop this law is if EU countries veto it

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

@Figglewatts What tool for level design so you use?

@icculus Then it might be the case that search engines still forward traffic to old SDL2 docs, as It was very hard to find anything SDL3 specific initially. Thanks for the reply!

@pigdev Iirc GdScript inherits from ref counted if you don't specify class to extend, so technically it always inherits something

@YuriSizov @HungryProton Considering you know Godot's GUI systems well, what would be your go-to way to handle animating controls?

[Lexpeartha @lexpeartha]

@godotengine @Akien Are you using vertex shader for that grass? :o

[trash @trashh_dev]

yeah okay buddy

[Lexpeartha @lexpeartha]

@Bippinbits @DomeKeeper Be honest... did @MV_Raffa convice you guys to implement even more viewports for this update? 🧐

[Lexpeartha @lexpeartha]

@NotJamGames Adding nebula/space dust is great idea for additional variation, thanks for idea.

Here's my background that currently relies solely on shaders... wondering if there could be middle ground where stars could still be animated in your solution?

[Lexpeartha @lexpeartha]

@NotJamGames Wow, great work! Trying to achieve something similar, although I'm going with shader route.

Really curious about how you generated this with Godot, is it some fancy noise sampling?

@KoBeWi_ Never thought about using 3D to generate 2D assets 🤔
Usually I build engine without 3D enabled, but this just might change that...

[Lexpeartha @lexpeartha]

@Figglewatts I think many were expecting more from it, since it's backed by Devolver
