  • Not really, every time I update my blender version they change something fundamental, a hotkey thats been that way for a decade, theyrearrange a portion of the UI. Instead of just focusing on bug fixes, blender is in this weird state of always adding new stuff, or completely refactoring things to the point that it breaks stuff. I honestly stick with releases as long as possible until im sure there’s a stable release that has worked out the worst bugs. In the last year or two, I think I’ve jumped 2 major blender versions, (beause i was forced to by a plugin i was using) without any significant improvement, but rather more bugs, deprecation of stuff that nobody asked to be deprecated.

    In all honesty, I dislike the blender development community almost as much as I love blender itself. Its so disjointed.

    All this maybe comes from my own involvement in software, so I dislike that there is so much dissunity in the project direction.

    But, I digress, people want new flashy stuff, not just bug fixes, stability, and performance improvements I guess. Maybe im too cautious of a developer myself.








  • I once found a commit message in our commit history that just said, “i hate git…” bcz they hadn’t changed anything, and I think it took a new line character and decided that they’d actually changed like 5 lines of code twhen they hadn’t.

    It was the funniest shit, someone who was a senior lead for like 9 years that had left, and 5 years later I find that…




  • After Kalm the game story really kicks into high gear. Stick it out at least until you hit Costa Del Sol after Junon. If you don’t like the game at that point, its just not your cup of tea.

    But, I have to say, out of all the final fantasy games I’ve played, this one has always been my favorite. The story just gets more and more complex as you go. Its got a lot of layers. But, if thats not what you’re looking for, thats okay. Not liking the combat is problematic. Maybe try the active timer instead of the wait timer if you haven’t already?

    Hopefully, you stick it out proper. I really think there’s a lot this game has to offer.
