Bioware's long death began when it was acquired by EA.

Assuming it's a 2D game, why not just use something like SFML to build your own simple RTS engine at that point?

Seems like carrying a lot of Godot baggage around for nothing.

Godot comes with a lot of tools in addition to the runtime. Maybe they are using the IDE to do layouts for the menu dialogues, for example.

Also, I am not sure about how easy it is to build binaries using SFML for various platforms (such as WASM), but with Godot you just have to download the right template.

Again combination of multiple points but for some part this is correct.

One side is that i started developing it with godot, and the game has well alot of menu stuff going on (without wanting to go to much into detail but you are to a certain degree able to configure units outside of a match into "blueprint" like system). This whole editor / management etc stuff got quite big and works really well.

Means, when i hit the gdscript limits, i did not want to port all of the existing stuff that already works perfectly fine with godot.

And ye since the c++ only runs math simulations but i still use the godot renderer (which so far seems to work out perfectly fine) i was okay with that mixed solution (for now).

It's both. Fuck DHH.

I assumed the reason was Starfleet Academy was complete slop

Do you make the same complaint when folks post links to archive.is? If not, why is this different?

Others have explained about not being able to see all content, profiles and such.

I’ll add another reason why I redirect to it: XCancel is/was a lot faster than X and had IMO a much cleaner UI, especially when reading larger conversations or groups of tweets. I don’t browse X much, but I already have an extension installed to redirect certain sites, so adding a redirect was an easy win. I’ll miss it.

Odd. Try to read stuff on twitter without an account/logged out.

It's a kind of enshittification pattern where a site based on user content closes off more and more access over time.

Xcancel and Nitter are/were easier to work with, afaict.

It's mostly useful if you want to link someone to a post on twitter to people who don't have an twitter account.

I use it to make RSS feeds for accounts where I don't want to miss a single post

You need an account to access X. Change the URL to xcancel and you can view these accounts.

It also looks like X requires a Google or Apple account to sign up if you don’t use your phone number. I’m not linking any of that to the X cesspool.

You do not need an account to access specific X posts/tweets. You do need an account to read all replies.

You need to be linked to specific tweets to know where they are. You can't just open up a timeline and read more than the last few posts (literally like 5, including any pinned post.)

I've also found sometimes you get (cached?) versions of profiles with really old posts if you're not logged in.

And media often won't play without doing bypass shenanigans (forcing native controls).

The main site won't even let you attempt to search but nitter and xcancel search worked great.

Twitter is basically unusable on the official site without logging in, even though it may not seem that way after a cursory check.

You are referring to X/Twitter right?

That is the point. It's a way to get the value of a service you don't like, while signaling to everyone that you're too virtuous to use the service you're getting value out of.

I prefer not to share links that require the people receiving the link to create an account to read the content and it's replies or post to such websites for that matter. That's basic netiquette.

Same, and I'm learning that we're definitely a minority.

So that's supposed to be the motive? Frankly I think most users just see it as a path of least resistance to a tweet. You guys really aren't familiar with this Internet thing.
