@TheDavidVinc Realistically I think it’ll be the Xillia games remastered. But…I’d love if they just did a full on remake of the early 3D games. Give me Abyss, Legendia or Symphonia but with amazing graphics!

@ClassicGamerTWR @Hasen_Judi "Better" is subjective. You can minimize LoC by modifying the variables directly. Class members are public by default and (kind of) private if specified with "#". True class encapsulation doesn't really exist in JavaScript, but you can use a closure to get similar results.

I came back to a startup I worked at about 8 years ago and I’m glad the hacky code, alongside the warning, is still there. It works! But it is undocumented dark magic 🧙‍♂️

Man it's VERY COOL that @SquareEnix and @UPS managed to lose a bunch of collectors/deluxe editions for FF7 Reunion. Fans paid extra for special editions and those same fans have no update on their package. No resolution or anything 🙃

@robin_genz For rolling your own, I like passport. You can use "passport-local" to do basic username + password, and there's a ton of extra: passportjs.org passportjs.org/packages/passp… For a SaaS, Clerk rules. Easy to use and free for up to 10,000 users: clerk.com

@maxlynch @Blender You can also snap verts, edges, and faces together so they don't overlap in the first place 🙂 docs.blender.org/manual/en/late… I was also super annoyed by this when I first started!

@maxlynch @Blender You should get over it until you go to finish the model. You can probably use modifiers to do a lot of that for you, particularly Boolean. You can also go into edge select mode to select all non-manifold (internal) edges with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M(?) and then delete the inside edges!

@unity @unitygames What about the customers subscribed to Unity Plus? That seems pretty targeted at the little guys.

Goodbye @Unity, hello @UnrealEngine. Though tbh I think Unity's pricing stupidity was a great reminder to me that there are tons of other AWESOME game frameworks and engines out there.
