    @mtrc very few are open-sourced (as opposed to just having source visible), very few on GH. CBDQ doesn't have a central listing either...

    @radiodario @ElectricObjects rendering can be pretty slow (even on my machine) cuz of the big 'ol blurs... dunno if it'll be problematic.

    @KommanderKlobb yes, though i doubt they'll reach it. Compare with OS X, on the same path but a year or so ahead.

    @KommanderKlobb Running unsigned binaries is becoming a thing developers and hobbyists do, not a mainstream thing.

    @KommanderKlobb I don't think those platforms enter into their strategic thinking much.
  25. …in reply to @v21

  57. …in reply to @UnburntWitch
    @UnburntWitch the most important things I learnt were the details of the event lifecycle and how serialisation works.
  58. …in reply to @UnburntWitch
    @UnburntWitch best tip? Maybe [ContextMenuItem], and generally being able to test stuff without fully hooking it into a larger system.
  59. …in reply to @v21
    @UnburntWitch oh, and AnimationCurves are wicked cool for letting you just draw the relationship between input and output.

    @FlorianVltmn ah, okay! Our lease is actually up in August - I don't know if there'll be space here from then, or possibly I'd be looking.
  63. …in reply to @v21
    @FlorianVltmn which is not super helpful - but let's talk when you are around and maybe there'll be something there?
  64. …in reply to @jwaaaap
    @jwaaaap I've been on a real Strugatsky kick recently - I think I've realized a thing I love in scifi is mundaneness, a sense of normality.
  65. …in reply to @jwaaaap
    @jwaaaap assume you'd have read a bunch of these... Day of the Triffids (and Wyndham generally) is perfect for this.
  66. …in reply to @v21
    @jwaaaap I love the sense of the everyday lives of various strata of society in The Space Merchants (beautiful offhand worldbuilding)

    @jwaaaap there's a strand of children's TV I grew up with that had protagonists who treated very weird things very straightforwardly.
