Will never understand why some people prefer mailing lists to do development, it always feels like the most convoluted way to hold a discussion, especially if there are multiple topics at the same time.

It probably doesn't really change that much in this scenario but with a forum or any other topics-based platform you can at least just close and ignore these things without it affecting everyone else.

To be honest I don't know of any, I just didn't want to be outright dismissive of it. If you just use it for a header to have some kind of small animation that grabs the reader's attention I guess it's fine. Just don't use it for the main text body.

Yeah, scroll fade might be useful sometimes but most of the time it's just annoying.

Who will then stop advertising on there real quickly once they find out what's going on

I was also confused about that because they did mention clothoids in their first post: https://sandboxspirit.com/blog/art-of-roads-in-games

Although re-reading that it seems they just don't want to deal with the math involved

What do you want as proof? A link to the app?

Nice solution for this might be:

Ctrl+Enter: Always submits

Shift+Enter: Always newline (if supported)

Enter: Reasonable default, depending on context

If someone doesn't know what .gitkeep is they should be able to derive from the name that it's some special file intended for git. If they then google it they will immediately find out what it's for. Yes, git itself has no concept of it but it's common enough that there's plenty documentation on the internet.

You're afraid of the launcher spying on you, but not the actual game?

So, the repo's README claims the repo contains the image dumps, but they're not actually there. Is this correct?
