What are your takes about rating systems?
I always feel like the 5 ⭐ system ends up being used as just a 1 or a 5, but the 10/10 is way too granular.
👍👎 seem like a good idea, but it lacks a neutral in my opinion.

Anyone has any interesting reads or takes about rating systems? let me know :)

@Emi

Currently, reviews contribute to the package score in a flat way - +100 for a positive, -100 for negative, 0 for neutral. There have been suggestions on weighting based on creation date or helpful/unhelpful rating

@Emi

Also, all reviews require a comment. It's not possible to leave a rating without writing a comment to back it up

Are there any paid Godot assets/plugins that you like/use? I'm doing some research and I don't want to miss anything obvious 👀 Most of the ones I know are FOSS, so I'm not that familiar with paid ones.

You can't imagine the amount of tech support emails we receive on the Godot contact email accounts. Why do you think this happens? Do we have the email somewhere I'm not aware of that says "for tech support email us at..."? 🫠

@thomastospace The first paragraph links to the page with our communities, but I'm sure no one reads it 😅
So I guess it is another page to include into the "to redesign" list.

@Emi I didn't even notice it links to that page 😅

And yeah, making a support page + making it more like the community page, but only with the parts that focus on Support (so no link to Reddit for example), would likely help a lot.

And of course, make it super easy to reply to the emails. Making it so you can just copy/paste a default response will also help with handling the influx.

@Emi Same 8). Kind of glad it's kicked me off.

Another morning, another bot attack 🤖 Anyone has experience dealing with discourse spammers?
They are posting random gibberish, and then editing the posts to add the spam, bypassing the automatic filters. I guess there should be a way to make filters work also when people edit their posts?

Anyone going to Reboot Blue next week?
I'll be spending some time with @lentsius and trying to locate any other devs attending :) feel free to reply!

It seems like @njamster found the new Q&A platform and is leaving no question unanswered 🫡

I get the feeling that another wave of people trying out mastodon is about to come. They kinda come always when I feel like the feed here is very slow.

I wonder what will it be the event that triggers it 👀

I'm looking to buy a mini PC to use on my desk (I kinda hate plugging and unplugging the laptop every time) and I was wondering what recommendations y'all have?
Don't care about the brand, just something that is quiet but won't struggle to open too many tabs on the browser 😅

@ward I'm not too worried about the budget, I'm more worried about it being loud. I had one long time ago and after a year or so the fan was constantly spinning at max. Even if it was a mini pc I could hear it through my microphone when recording 😭

@Emi I know exactly what you mean. Most are annoyingly loud and they have that high pitch.

So, the best thing right now is the Hx100G from Minisforum, but it's not tiny... however, it has a GPU, so it's a beast... I just replaced my workstation/streaming PC with this... and I can't hear it. It's totally silent.

Otherwise, this Geekom is tiny and way quieter than the others (you can still hear it). It's also extremely fast: https://www.geekompc.com/geekom-a7-mini-pc-ryzen-7000/

So happy with how the 2023 showreel video turned up! Looking forward to reading everyone's reactions :)

I'm starting the work on the 2023 showreel.

As last year, if you are a musician and want to submit a song for us to use, please leave a reply with links to your stuff!

I'm already looking at public domain tracks but wanted to ask y'all 🎵

Dialogic graduated from being a private repo (coppolaemilio/dialogic) to be in its own org!

After the first stream I was only able to get through 56 of 304 submissions. I don't know if I will be able to stream all of them, but I'll try to!

Since y'all hang out here in Mastodon I'll let you in on the news first.

The Godot Q&A platform was down for a VERY long time, and we made several attempts to resurrect it, but failed.

Not this time! https://forum.godotengine.org/

The new platform includes more sections for the community to hang out, it uses your Godot Account for login, and you can start using it right now! We still haven't announced it properly but it is great to see it working.

Kudos to @WinstonYallow for the work here 👏
