Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?

Reply in thread

Of course no one said anything. That would be rude. But not tipping your server is very much an asshole move, foreign or not. Those service industry workers rely on the tips because their wages are basically nothing. I agree that they should be paid a fair wage but that's just not how it works here in the US.

QOTD: What are your favorite features in the latest version of Godot and how have they improved your game development process?

Being relatively new to Godot, I don't have particularly good sense of what's new or old but some of my favorite features of the engine are:

No. 1 above all else is how lightweight it is.

The fact that it's totally open source and will never cost me a dime.

I really didn't like GDScript in the beginning but after working with it for a while, I've come around to see how fast and easy it is to get things going.

I love that if you set a custom splash for your game, the editor gets the same splash. Makes it feel a lot more personal to your project.

Some of these are going to sound pretty inconsequential but I don't think so. All of them remove startup friction and get you wanting to work on your game more.
