Any experienced Godot developers with free time willing to collaborate?

A few months ago, in my free time, I started a small fantasy card game project in 3D and implemented raytracing to drag the cards around a plane above the "table" as a figure of speech, but I never did figure out the nodes which would have cards in play snap to and become undraggable. Whenever I set the boolean to disable dragging and enable snapping the card's variables passed to the node stayed null.

If somebody can help me figure it out, experience with git is a plus but not required (I can set up the repo and the gitignore myself), I'd be able to spend more time on the artwork and maybe we could start a kickstarter in a week or two.

Sample of my older artwork (from a different project outside of game development that is perpetually delayed for both team and financial difficulties):

For more private conversation please reach out to me at: [email protected]

If you lack any prior credit for such work then I won't immediately disqualify you but be prepared to demonstrate capability such as with a script that moves an instantiated 3D objects between 5 nodes in randomized order, interruptible by clicking on it (this demonstrates an active and inactive state and more complex movement than just static A to B)

I'm a little worried about some recent news about military command reform, can somebody explain it to me?

I saw a clip of a guy saying that Ukraine is going through a command reform:

  1. Military officials will be forced to adapt or leave.

  2. Military command will be highly "streamlined" and "automated" with "new technology."

The video was claiming this as a huge win and that Russia would be outdated by comparison and that military personnel, infrantry and such, would be treated more humanely.

However, what it sounds like to me, what I'm hearing instead of those claims, is that all military power and authority is being centralized and that ChatGPT or Grok or some shit is being given reigns of a fucking drone swarm. Is that what is happening? Two things I can say quite confidently is that: consolidating such power such that less total people have any say in matters has never lead to more humane treatment, historically, and that AI chatbots have never shown any capacity for morality nor hesitation in regards to the sanctity of human life and nature.

Is the Trump admin pushing this bullshit on Ukraine? Am I reading too much into this? I'm naturally very skeptical of things like this.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure the video I saw was just some AI Techbro bullshitting and in reference to changes from Brigades (smaller departments) to Corps (big offices managing their own small departments) structure. Nobody can really find info on what he was talking about, AFAIK.

For the Unaware, this instance is under a ddos-like bot attack

AI-Training Data Scrapers are constantly attacking the feddit.online instance, in the last 24 hours about 70% of all traffic here was a bot of nefarious intent.

This is a continuation of the problems experienced last weekend which were temporarily snubbed by CloudFlare filtering them out, but they always return eventually.

This is the reason many users have been complaining about poor uptime/stability.

He spent 60 years building Black political power. He sees a wipeout coming.

Having lived the rise in Black political power across the South enabled by the VRA, Robinson worries he is now a witness to its dramatic demise after the Supreme Court sharply limited the last vestige of the landmark law often called the crown jewel of the civil rights movement.

Authorities respond as hundreds of activists stormed a beagle farm

Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett said that 300 to 400 people were "violently trying to break in" to the Ridglan Farms facility.

TLDR: An activist movement yesterday in Dane County, Wyoming, to release the hounds held in an animal testing facility went out one day early, but found the law enforcement there waiting for them with tear gas and rubber bullets. Unfortunately the dogs were downwind of the gas and could be heard howling in pain, according to participants.

Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett gives an interview defending their use of force claiming the crowd was a threat to the law enforcement, the workers at the facility, and the "property of a private business".
