How true is this or are we doing the same thing “generation killed industry/way of doing things” that the boomer media is so fond of?

It is. The meme has four glottel stops, this has three. The meme has the “el” removed, this doesn’t. Weirdly, the meme has the “o” sound removed for for “of” as well.

It’s an entirely fictitious way of pronouncing something, it equates a very, very small subset of the country with “Britain” and is a great example of “fake American British accent” becoming the “norm” to the extent where British voice actors are training to put on voices to sound “more British” (such as Tracer in Overwatch).

The meme might as well say “burdle der wurder” and claim it’s how American’s say it - kinda close, but also really far 🤷

THAT’S how Americans think British people pronounce it? I was looking at the image for ages trying to sound it out.

Please tell me no one seriously thinks this?

“Worst” case I can think of is “Bo’el o’ wa’er” and even that is incredibly limited to like…four boroughs of London.

You don’t have to give either money and there is the option to give both money.

You literally sent that from a FOSS platform…

GDQuest - problem is I can’t really afford $100 a pop for their classes :/

You’re conflating liberal parliamentary representative democracy with all types of democracy - I was very specific in my post as to which I had the problem with (and it is equally as specific in the UK’s new definition of “extremism”).

I have no problem with democracy and do think it’s the best system. I have a problem with the idea that electing our overlords from a curated list with little to no fundamental difference (i.e. liberal parliamentary democracy) to then dictate to groups tens or hundreds of millions of people strong is democracy.

Just reading it - the constitution of Canada is mostly about land and parliament setup more than anything else (though Constitution Act, 1960 & 1965 are kick-ass).

The rest is “unwritten” and “interpreted by courts” - exactly like the UK.

Germany, from my understanding, is a really different beast from most countries in how it works thanks to the East-West reunification.

That said, it sounds similar to the US Supreme Court, is that right? What are the checks and balances on this court? What’s to stop the bad actor work as seen in America?

I don’t think the judges would like it, but what recourse would they have if the government passed an act such as this in Canada? I could see a judge saying this act breaches X treaties, but then just withdraw from the treaties (edit: which this act is likely a precursor to).

The system of parliamentary liberal democracy is an inherently flawed system.

I have a natural aversion to Discord. I use Slack all day at work, why would I want to use it in my spare time, you know?

This is a good summary on the forum about it being very surface level for a “Complete 2D course”: https://community.gamedev.tv/t/pretty-disappointed-with-the-scope-of-complete-godot-4-game-developer-2d/232289

The Unity courses felt more like an educational experience, taking you through more concepts in a really clear manner where you do feel like you understand what you’re doing. There are more projects that are tailored to demonstrate concepts which are clearly outlined and shown why you are writing this code in this manner, potential alternatives (and opinions on which to use) and the logic behind C#. By the last project, I found myself totally customising the platformer. I added a robust weapons system, different enemies, and a scoring system.

The Godot course is much, much shorter and the things the instructor chooses to focus on feels more like basic maths/general logic instead of why you’re typing what you’re typing. I tried modifying the last project (only 3 projects long and not exactly complex) and simply didn’t have the tools to add an effective singleton (which is only ever mentioned once, right at the end, never by name, and only in the context of having continuous music).

Honestly, go for it! There is definitely space for the knowledge to be shared - especially in the beginner+ -> Intermediate space.

The idea that a government can instruct the courts to ignore human rights legislation shows how fundamentally broken the liberal “democracy” system is.

This from the government that just made saying “I am intolerant towards the idea of liberal parliamentary democracy” an example of extremism but saying “foreigners don’t deserve human rights” is not extremism.

I’m slowly realising one of the joys of FOSS is the community driven aspect means free or ko-fi funded courses tend to be really good.

The unity courses got revamped about 2 years back and I really enjoyed them and made some pretty fun and cool games!

100% agree the pricing is clearly a marketing scam, especially when they have a humble bundle every month.

Ahh just misread then, all good :D

I dunno, I usually open a textbook by turning over the front cover 🥁

Not entirely sure what you’re saying, sorry if I got it wrong, but it seems like you’re implying I said the opposite of what I actually posted.

My point was there is no genetic predisposition to being bad at language learning but that the language education in the UK is woefully bad. I’ve spent more time learning how to learn Spanish than actually learning it because we’re not taught the skill of language acquisition from childhood.

The reason the government hasn’t invested in language skills is because it’s the lingua franca (the irony of that phrase isn’t lost on me), but the argument of “weak aptitude for language learning” used in the article is patently false.

weak aptitude for language learning

This is such bullshit. As a Brit abroad, our problem is weak language education. We are taught to such a poor degree and we are not taught how to learn a language. It’s been the biggest struggle of my adult life trying to get conversational and after a year I am still way behind my cohorts - it’s not some genetic predisposition to being bad at language learning, but a lack of language infrastructure in childhood.
