Sorry, curious non-native speaker here. Which accent? And which telling patterns made you think of it?

Not the person you're responding to, but as soon as I read stuff like "I trained tiny network" I tend to imagine Russian. It's the missing "a". Same thing happens in "I'm speaking with heavy accent".

I'm not a native speaker but my inner voice also switched to Russian accent very quickly!

Missing articles in English is the usual give away for someone with a slavic native language such as Russian.

I'm native Hungarian speaker, and the giveaway is the exact opposite: more definitive articles than it should be. We use that way more often in Hungarian than in English, and we are really bad with it.

Missed opportunity of intentionally introducing a few extra in this comment

I loved them and I placed them a lot in my designs — if you also include my love for em dashes you can well understand that I feel my own character has become a clanker…

Em dashes got taken from me as a result of Chat. I used them all the time now I can't without it making people pause to think I'm a bot. Still a bit annoyed or sad about that tbh.

I pivoted to using -- or --- instead, shows I'm not a bot and has the same effect.

I’ve been tinkering with a game engine where magic is made of first principles for a very long time. Cannot wait to see the gameplay and mechanics here!

i've been doing something similar and decided to stick with godot.

have you found yourself constrained with engine boilerplate or do you feel like you are making good progress on the magic system?

Only working on the magic system itself, unfortunately making the game around the mechanics is not something I enjoy, so I have been implementing different approaches with some minimal debugging UI. Did not reach the need for an actual game engine

Those are parasitic memes, that bring no value to the host. There are many such memes in apes world too.

I just lost the game.
