cybereality Oh yeah, I saw like half of this at a chick's house once. She told me I was too autistic (her words, not mine) to get why it's good and she's probably right. It was all pretty emotional scenes I didn't understand. I need earthier colors or darker story tone to stay interested. It's one of my fatal flaws, socially. I can't empathize with reasonably happy or sad characters,
I do however get anger, confusion, melancholy or ecstasy. That sounds like manic depression now that I type it out, but
I'm okay (I promise).

I forgot the blogpost warning.

cybereality I'm guessing it's a blend of Beauty and the Beast with Cinderella.
I do like one of the creator's previous movies The Boy and the Beast. That was quite cool.

cybereality thanks for the share, I just downloaded and watched it (Belle). It got a fair amount of tears out me. I usually brush off anime stuff but that was really good. When I watch that movie, and other good rom-coms, I become sensitive to a broader range of color of emotion, a breadth of feeling that I assume women are tuned into all the time. A third eye opens, so to speak. It's a real shame that feeling wears off about 20 min after the movie. It makes me want to move a game setting from the surface of a dead asteroid to a bed of flowers. Does anyone else have that experience?

    lots of people are gonna hate me for saying this, but i never really liked anime. i don't like the drawing style and the animations are mostly not well done imo.
    the one anime i liked (and still my favorite) is Akira, the scene where Tetsuo grows into these organs and hands, is just magnificent and super well animated. the story was also understandable and well directed.

      @DJM agree. The characters in the drawings are flat, featureless, without personality and identification. I know it goes back quite a few decades now, but could well be mass generated computer drawings.

      Personal impression, ofc.

      DJM I rewatch the same 3 every year. After I hit the age of 15, I wasn't really into it anymore until I found the avante-garde cyberpunk scene around 3 years ago. You could still call me a weeb, but I was weebified by old history books the internet, and a feudal japan museum around the age of 8. I didn't discover anime until maybe 4-5 years later.

      At this point, I wonder if Godot 4.0 will ever be released...

      "When will you make an end of it?"
      "When it is finished!"

      KanataEXE Will Godot 4 be released when all issues are resolved or mostly all of them?

      Certainly.

      ... then again, I bet they'll do it slightly earlier :-)

      I guess the joke is that in the play "Waiting for Godot", which the engine derives its name, the characters wait for some guy named Godot the whole play and he never arrives.

        cybereality I read an article and they named it for that reason. It was taking forever to get a release. That's why the pronunciation is just like the name of the play, although I have heard an argument to it because it was originally pronounced go dot when the play was written or something. It's always been steeped in release controversy. I'm amazed they get anything out at all considering my experience with trying to release a game in a group of people.

        And as I said before, there is no reason whatsoever to revert to vendor- and platform specific middleware like .NET and proprietary languages like C# when are so many and so much better tools on the Linux platform. Faster, better documented, free, and I would expect less buggy and more stable.

        We're so much better off with C++, C, Rust and others, and all those free and well thought through scripting languages from Angelscript over Lua to Python, Perl and whatnot.

        Just say "thanks MS, but no thanks" 😜 .

        (Ready to receive what I have coming 😎 )

          duane Who can figure out google algorithms. Everything is being distorted by them I suppose. It's always been a Microsoft trick to embrace and extend. Pretty soon you notice Mono doesn't do as many things as .Net and .Net runs on Linux. I haven't used Linux for a long time because some game engine didn't run on it. Now it's getting where my game engine of choice runs on it but somehow I'm still using Windows. There's going to be all kinds of things that don't work if I switch over. Maybe I'd think about getting a computer that was made for linux.

            @fire7side : If you're thinking about a new PC to install Linux on, I'd suggest to go for AMD currently. You won't need any third-party or proprietary drivers, that's why. Board AM4, processor al gusto (5800 X is pretty performant, with a lot of parallel power as well), graphics card RX 6x00 XT what you're willing to pay (or a 5x00G processor if you don't need high end gaming performance), appropriate RAM 3200 MHz if not overclocking, lowest latency you can afford, one or two PCIe 3 SSDs, monitor full hd (5x00G) or 1440p (graphics card 6700 and higher).

            One with a 5600G and no graphics card should come out at around 800 funds with monitor, casing, keyboard, mouse, cooler, cheap speakers.
