I've had that happen with database logs where I used to work, back in 2015-6.

The reason was a very shitty system that, for some reason, threw around 140 completely identical delete queries per millisecond. When I say completely identical, I mean it. It'd end up something like this in the log:

2015-10-22 13:01:42.226 = delete from table_whatever
      where id = 1
          and name = 'Bob'
          and other_identifier = '123';
2015-10-22 13:01:42.226 = delete from table_whatever
      where id = 1
          and name = 'Bob'
          and other_identifier = '123';
2015-10-22 13:01:42.226 = delete from table_whatever
      where id = 1
          and name = 'Bob'
          and other_identifier = '123';
-- repeated over and over with the exact same fucking timestamp, then repeated again with slightly different parameters and different timestamp

Of course, "no way it's our system, it handles too much data, we can't risk losing it, it's your database that's messy". Yeah, sure, I set up triggers to repeat every fucking delete query. Fucking morons. Since they were "more important", database logging was disabled.

I love the Ruby/Sapphire version of that annoying trumpet

Invidious so the bot doesn't go crazy

The impression is “this decision came from very high up in Unity” from an exec who “had no idea how bad of an idea it was”

Said exec is a crystal-clear case of the Peter Principle: being promoted to the point of incompetence.

My list has a few things that aren't listed in that GFS link, which might be useful for the more specific indie types (Solarus, OHR, OpenMW)

Stride does look like a very good alternative if the intent is a 3D game and C# programming, so possibly the best case for Unity veterans in that regard.

It was raking in tons of money, especially since 2020 (772 million for that year), but they somehow were spending way more than they were earning for most of their existence. Beats me how/where that money was being spent. https://investors.unity.com/financials/quarterly-results/default.aspx

Pretty much every gamedev course will teach either Unity, Unreal or both, so those students end up getting fucked either way.

My biggest disappointment in life was finishing a whole campaign of D&D and never getting invited into a cult to cast spells with THE REAL POWER. Maybe it had to be with 2nd edition instead of 3.5?

On tiktok, what might work is showing off silly stuff possible with my game, or close calls that end in failure, as that tends to get people to rewatch the video and share. Wouldn't fall into programming content, but "funny", which has a huge audience.

Brazilian portuguese tends to lack impactful phrases, but is full of single curse words. A big portion of them a clear example of how much negative bias there is culturally against certain groups (gay men, women in general, disabled), unfortunately :/

One that isn't often used, but that I almost always laugh loud whenever I hear, is "Enfia uma dentadura no cu e sorria pro caralho", which roughly translates into "Stick a denture up your asshole and smile at the dick". For when simply saying "go fuck yourself" isn't enough.

sigh So, I fixed it...

Turns out the problem was in the player node structure. The pausemenu is a child of a Container. The problem was that said container had a size of 40x40, as shown on the pic below. Simply reducing it to 1x1 or 0x0 fixed the issue.

EDIT: There was also another container, the "gameover" just below the pausemenu, that also had a square size around that same area. So, TLDR: check for any "empty" containers if you get a similar problem.

Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of all this cheap oil, I mean, freedom! Bringing freedom to these rich oil, I mean freedom starved countries! - 'murica in the 2000s

Thing is, the USA has been pulling this kind of shit for a long time. The Kingdom of Hawaii being overthrown is a very good and old example, dating back to 1893 for the coup and 1898 for the incorporation. The Philippines being denied their independence for almost 50 years after the Spanish sold them out in 1898 is another example. The USA is an unrepenting reoffender when it comes to fucking other countries.

In a way, my interest in internet privacy is almost always met with uninterested "ah" IRL. Even when I dont come off as preachy, when I just try to sell it as "watching YT without ads", people often don't care.
