Godot is something I can still be super newb at and yet straight up admire. The nodes tree / scene system is a work of genius and I love it so much.

I do feel like a lot of inspector bits suffer from unintuitive "hard to distinguish menu to sub-sub-sub-sub menu" UX, but I think the editor's "expand all inspector headings" (or something) option is really handy for knowing what you're working with, and mitigates that a little.

I am sympathetic but also so damn tired of seeing what essentially translates to:

"Look, [megacorpo] bought out my school's ecosystem so that's all I learned. It's "industry standard", I can't believe this FOSS can't even do this one niche corporate-job feature, therefore it's objectively terrible / not ready / inferior / useless for job work."

Which can usually be further boiled down to:

"I tried it but it wasn't a carbon copy of my preferred corpo-ware without any strings attached so it basically sucks."

These kinda "3d" archery shoots were so much fun.

One optional /bonus target at the end had a steel plate with a T-Rex painted on it, and a narrow hole in the middle to shoot through... And beside it was a graveyard hay bale full of obliterated arrows of those that tried. (Don't touch shattered carbon fiber, kids!)

One required a kneeling shot and through a large PVC tube to hit a turkey target at the end...I kid you not, I used a bent aluminum arrow, it bounced off the wall of the tube, and right into the bullseye. Sadly this was well before reliable pocket video but I did get a picture of the resulting shot with my Palm Zire 71! ...I wonder if I still have that picture now somewhere...

It was really cool seeing people shooting with everything from modern recurves, to compound bows (my flavor), to very fine "primitive" bows.

Archery though. Love it. Really fun sport. Great people, lots of skill. I was taught by an olympic coach but enjoyed the more practical "simulationist" kind of shoots like these.

New games all gotta have that "camera mode" now!

It's more kinda pitiful. They're just really bumbling and clumsy so you'll occasionally just hear a little thunk against a window like a lightly thrown acorn or something hahaha.

I'm a newb still but was put off by having to use "Conda" to manage a ton of virtual Python environments ultra-specific to the applications they were designed for. Blegh!

It goes quite nice paired with a fancy dress(age)!

I kinda feel like we're 75% of the way there already, and we gotta be hitting with everything we've got if we're to stand a chance against it...

I don't think they meant that. Probably more like

"Don't upload all your precious data carelessly thinking it's un-stealable just because of this one countermeasure."

Which of course, really sucks for artists.

I wonder, can I serve it ads and get paid?

...and it's just bouncing around and around and around in circles before its handler figures out what's up...

Heehee I like where your head's at!
