The issue here is that Godot isn't someone you can contact to support their systems. It's an open source project. They either add it to the source, which they can't because of NDAs, or they point you to companies who have a

Exactly. If it starts happening frequently, maybe it's worth looking into. But I think there's a middle ground between 'worthy of complaining on hacker news' and 'need to implement and support a redundant backup p

I believe most of 3M's products are industrial abrasives, films, laminates, and adhesives. I suspect they make more money selling layers of film that are part of electronic displays than they do selling scotch tape.

Well, this inspired me to install ScummVM, install this pack, and finally beat Kings Quest VII Chapter 1. It was the first game I ever had as a kid, and I never was able to get past one of the puzzles. The audio sounds great!

I don’t think an experienced concert photographer is as substitutable as you’re claiming. Just compare the image from this photographer’s early concert photography to his recent work. It takes time and effort to get to a place where you c
