That's good to hear. I use Unity, mostly because of what Epic used to charge for Unreal, but I'm exploring other options.

It's nice to see familiar faces around, and posting.

I didn't know you also develop games, pretty cool.

Honestly I do like Unity: it's a powerful engine, has everything I need, has a vast community and assets available, and supports modern features you would expect. But, dealing with bugs, the income share / being forced to buy the pro version (which I believe is now a subscription service), having to buy features for the engine that should be default, etc. has been frustrating.

I've been working with Godot for 4 days now, and so far I love it. I did run into one bug, but it was quickly resolved. The graphics look right up-to-par with most modern games, and it supports visual scripting, a visual shader editor and basically everything Unity does (with new updates and features being added over time). The main difference with Godot is that everything is based on scenes / nodes, rather than prefabs. All objects are scenes in themselves, and you can embed scenes within scenes - it's a clever idea. The fact that it's completely free, licensed under MIT and open source is incredible.

I spent an hour talking about faith with my manager, at her prompting, and it was actually really enjoyable. It was much better than my usual work.

Let's just hope they keep it the route of what Heath Ledger's character was; dark and gritty. If it's anything like what Jared Leto portrayed then it will be a waste of film.

Never seen Jared Leto's version.. but yeah dark and gritty sounds fun. Seen the Dark Knight.. the only super hero movie I kind of liked.. Tried watching Black Panther but found it too depressing..

Hmm. Black Panther. I bought it on DVD weeks ago but never have gotten around to watching it. I certainly don't need to be depressed right now. So I think I will save it for another time.

Hmm. Not even the old Superman movies or Michael Keaton Batman?
You should watch some Superman movies that has Gene Hackman playing Lex Luthor though. Those are classics.

Yeah I'm not really a fan of his work either. I recently picked up his version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and haven't watched it either. Lol

Why would you pick that up? You still watch movies on DVDs? Lol.. He's so overrated.. the only films I've seen of his that I enjoyed was Beetlejuice and Ed Wood.. his version of Pee Wee Herman is terrible too.. I recently saw the new Pee Wee Herman Netflix film not directed by him and it was so much better.
