  • Modern TV is too tidy, with everything tied to one or two storylines and everything being wrapped up tidily with maybe one or two cliffhangers. It makes fictional settings cough Star Wars cough seem small and insuler.

    Interesting point!

    I think a big part of this is because of the internet. Nowadays, if the writing isn’t 100% polished you will get people screaming loudly about inconsistencies, plot holes, or hooks left hanging and I’m sure this has an impact on the showrunners.

    That said, I think you can have highly professional/polished writing, and still make the universe seem big and complex. The high quality dramas (Sopranos, etc.) have shown this. Not something Star Trek has every really been good at though.


  • Hopefully Unity doesn’t disrupt your current project too much.

    But yeah, I think this is the most extreme case of a company burning trust with their users overnight in recent years (worse than Twitter IMO). It’s especially bad because many Unity users/devs have their livelihood depending on Unity, so of course they are going to change once they get a chance. The risks of not switching now massively outweigh the risks of switching.

    It will just take a lot of devs/teams some time to transition. Unity will probably go under in 2-4 years, they can’t recover from this.

    I’ve played around with Godot a bit, and in my view it actually makes more sense than Unity. Probably has more limitations, but hopefully those can be overcome in the next couple of years.

    it’s a major flaw and I hope it gets addressed as lemmy/fediverse evolves, or else it’s not going to work

    Defederation is an important tool for admins (e.g. if a server full of nazis appears, we want it to be defederated immediately).

    Hopefully admins realise over time it’s stupid to defederate over trivial stuff, and it causes users to revolt and possibly a decline in your server’s activity.

    Also, make sure you complain to your admin if they do this, or just leave and go to a new server.
