TIL you can use `pymongo.operations.UpdateOne` with bulk_write(), bulk_write(), bulk_write() and bulk_write().

Screenshot from the pymongo docs with this text:

class pymongo.operations.UpdateOne(filter, update, upsert=None, collation=None, array_filters=None, hint=None, namespace=None, sort=None)

Represents an update_one operation.

For use with bulk_write(), bulk_write(), bulk_write() and bulk_write().

Rift Riff (out now!) was proudly made in Godot!! It started as a “small game to see if Godot is ready for commercial games” and 1,5 years later & with a 5-person team all working in the editor I can give you a resounding YES, IT’S READY. store.steampowered.com/app/2800900/... #godotengine #gamedev

Running Ludum Dare isn't glamorous. Saying I should "give the keys to person X" is saying "I should burden person X". In time you'll ridicule them for not doing something. I'm sorry, but I'm not cruel enough to put that on someone else.

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)
