Slightly more elaborate demonstration of the battle system I've been working on. Finisher now does damage! I have one more fun idea for a mechanic for this, stay tuned. #Godot #gamedev

Oh yeah, been meaning to show this off. A few projects ago I put together a couple new classes for building state machines. It uses the builder pattern and is quite convenient! Here's the code that constructs part of the state machine for the battle system in my previous post: #gamedev #godot
Godot code (GDscript):

unc init_state_machine() -> StateMachine:
	var out: StateMachine = StateMachine.new("wait");
	out.add_state("wait")\
		.add_entry_callable(
			func(_prev_state) -> void:
				if is_instance_valid(menu):
					menu.queue_free();
				atb_paused = false;
				)\
		.add_callable(
			func() -> void:
				if !ready_queue.is_empty():
					if party_combatants.has(ready_queue[0]):
						out.change_state("party_turn");
					elif Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept"):
						ready_queue.pop_front().atb = 100.0;
				if atb_paused && ready_queue.is_empty() && action_queue.is_empty():
					atb_paused = false;
					)
	out.add_state("party_turn")\
		.add_entry_callable(
			func(_prev_state) -> void:
				menu = v_menu.instantiate();
				act_menu_marker.add_child(menu);
				var opts: Array[String] = ["Attack", "Skill", "Defend", "Item", "Flee"];
				menu.setup(ready_queue[0].combatant_name, opts);
				)\
		.add_callable(
			func() -> void:
				if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept"):
					match menu.selected_option:
						0: 
							readied_action = ready_queue[0].basic_attack.copy();
							var actors: Array[Combatant] = [ready_queue[0]]
							readied_action.set_actors(actors);
							out.change_state("targeting");
				elif Input.is_action_just_pressed("activate_finisher") && finisher_ready:

I've stopped looking at the new comments on my most recent video because that shit's depressing, but I accidentally saw this one and now you have to too.
"____________ commented: 'One of the biggest issues people, including perhaps the UN, is the very focus on trying to fix things can result in things getting worse. There's a quote I heard" (rest is mercifully cut off).

Ya'll don't need to hear my opinion on the OoT remake graphics, so here's my hot take about a different remake's graphics: Wind Waker Gamecube looks better than Wind Waker HD. "Oooooh I'm so pretty" shut the fuck up I can't even see you over all that fuckin bloom

Youtube really do be wildin’ it in the backend
A widget from the youtube backend displaying the percentage of watchtime of a video from subscribers vs non-subscribed. According to the widget, 1% of my latest video’s watchtime is from subscribers, but somehow *107.2%* is from non-subscribers. How do math?

People don’t talk about this but I swear there’s a period between being a casual player at a competitive game and being competent at it where you’re worse than you’ve ever been in your life?

Youtube is the torment nexus.
A views graph from the youtube backend of Reb’s latest video. The relevant parts are: the viewcount, which is at 894, but more importantly the MASSIVE SPIKE that has occurred in the last several hours.

Watch the cult classic #videoessay critics are calling ‘very nice’ and ‘multifaceted’. These are actual things people who watched it have said. In hindsight, perhaps not as strong of an endorsement as one would hope. Maybe I should have paid them more.

Rebecca B. Underwood 🏳️‍⚧️ @rbunderwood.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
So youtube’s backend has a nifty little ranking of what all your videos’ viewcounts were at that long after your most recent video, and at 17 hours and 36 minutes I’ve got a three-way tie for second! This is the kind of thing that excites me as a data lover.

I would like very much for the people who insist that youtube is skill-based to please explain what I am supposed to do about the fact that the algorithm has apparently decided to only show my video to 20 people in the last 4 hours

My contribution to the ongoing GTA VI discourse is that Rockstar has never made a game I wanted to play, and probably never will. This is because their games are bad—*gets mauled to death by the crowd*

Skinamarink may genuinely be the first movie I have come away from and felt nothing. And I’m almost more disappointed that it didn’t compel me than I would have been if I hated it. Very cool film, I didn’t care for it.

Video essayist pro tip: if you have instrumental/ambient BGM under you talking, and it's just a little too short, you can actually just copy a section of the song from earlier that starts on a similar phrase and splice it in at the end with a little audio cross-fade to smooth it out.

Rebecca B. Underwood 🏳️‍⚧️ @rbunderwood.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
My usual schtick of using whatever video game I'm talking about in a video's OST as BGM is failing me on Starfield because the OST is very large and very ambient and I have no concept of what song sounds like what, so I'm literally just clicking on a song, "nope", click, "nah", click, "hmm...no."

Sometimes when you're making something you go "Okay, this part's done," and then you go to make yourself a cup of coffee, and when you get back you sit down and take one look at it and go "Nope. No this is bad. Nuh-uh." And then you do it better. And I just think that's kinda neat.

Man I’m—I’ve been slowly playing TotK since it came out, like, a few days at a time, and this time I’ve finally finished the four regions quest and gone to Hyrule Castle and I’m at Phantom Ganon and like… I think I just hate TotK’s combat loop

Was thinking some more on this I think what I’d do is make it a sorta freeform deductive archeology game, where you’re plopped down in the middle of a mostly uninhabited continent and your goal is to build an overall timeline of events that led to it being deserted

While back I made a post about how the US’ DoD’s budget could end world hunger for 27 years. Well, I fact checked myself to make sure, and it turns out the number I had found for the DoD’s budget was completely wrong? So actually, it would only end world hunger for… …10 years. So. Yeah.
