Try looking up Ben Cloward on YouTube. He's quite concise and thorough.

The "don't show this channel" feature also feels like there is some kind of expiry because I've blocked a few channels multiple times now via that method.

Totally a theory but sometimes YouTube has a button that says roughly "show me something new". I think that may be the source of those channels returning.

Not a game but the impressive VFX software embergen is written in Odin iirc.

That would be my God. In parts of the gaming industry working there can make you a pariah though. Not a huge portion but I've seen people get rejected based on working there and a couple other choice companies.

Kind of and I've certainly used systems like that before but in practice it's not really a massive improvement. Sometimes it's even a tad annoying having another layer of indirection.

Just an update. Discord now shows a modal dialog trying to get me to sign up for nitro about every other time I bring up the app.

I'm really going to have to start looking into self hosted alternatives soon

Queued it at my local library and already there is a huge queue. Hopefully will be able to read it this year

Years ago I didn't have to manually kill the app 2-3 times a day to get messages synced (frequently on Android, occasionally on Windows)

It's been going that way for at least 2 years now. Maybe it will accelerate though.

I grew up being taught to urinate on our rhubarb patches.

Oh I see. I did indeed misunderstand.

Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Absolutely. Also graph and timeline view are invaluable for decades old projects when you are trying to find out when and why someone did some odd change.

Honestly this is a big reason why perforce is still my favorite source control solution. Along with p4v

My old boss keeps telling me to watch that. Thanks for the reminder!

Languages like haxe simply won't compile if you don't cover every enum value in a switch case. Would that not be preferable? I quite like that feature.

F# I believe is similar wrt discriminated unions and pattern matching

Yeah it's tough. Unfortunately game design is not my strongest attribute. Hopefully someone more creative than I can think of something though!

Would love to see some media based off this concept. I'm so sick of cyberpunk.
