Why are we even talking about this?

IDK, You made an assertion that modern web browsers run everywhere.

I'm a Godot developer and this is wrong.

Well, any supporting links then for your assertion?

I just said that generally native Godot games run better then Browser games. While Wasm and WebGL exports are good, native acceleration and memory consumption is better (If you aren't comparing apples with oranges). Because less layers. Just look at the minimal system requirements. For a native Godot export are 2GB, for web exports 4GB. Not sure if that includes the browser. And generally, everyone that has 4GB RAM, and wants to use modern browsers, I feel you. That is painful. Firefox say that they run on 512MB on Mac... but using a browser is more than just starting it...

OpenGL 3.3 is required for current native Godot, that is about 15 years ago, where people, even gamers, still bought 2 or 4GB devices.

    If you're on a computer that can't run a web browser in 2026 I'm out of words honestly.

    You are moving the goal post here. Some people game on systems that don't support modern browsers.

    Also, Godot exported to the web would definitely run worse than a game made directly for the browser.

    That depends on how the game was made. Godot exports to Wasm and WebGL, which is web assembly, and generally pretty fast. I don't know anything about that game, but there are certainly worse ways to make games natively in the browser, which could be avoided by using a proper engine. Of course you can also write unoptimized games in Godot as well.

    But a good native Godot export is certainly faster then a good web export of the same game made with web technology.

    Everything? A modern internet browser is pretty resource intensive. If the game was done with a proper multiplatform game engine, maybe in Godot, and was exported to Linux, Windows, Mac and to the browser, then it would probably have a better chance to run on more devices.

    But "Sacred animals" AFAIK doesn't mean all animals, but very specific one. Like you shouldn't eat cows, but eating pigs is fine. So it isn't against religious people general morales to avoid killing animals.

    But maybe you know of a religion where all animals are sacred.

    Update: I somehow misunderstood 'inane' as 'mundane'. So ignore my comment.

    IDK... I think banning a regular scarf, without religious meaning is weird. There may be any reasons for wearing them. Cold weather, covering up something that might look bad, or just because it looks cool.

    Banning shoes indoors or on carpets because of dirt, fine, but otherwise, its like reverse indecency laws...

    You shifted the definition of 'authoritarian'. I mean Germany today is a democracy, which is not a single-party state as the GDR de facto was, as the other bloc parties were subordinate to the SED via the National Front. They spied on their own people and suppressed dissenting thought. People that tried to flee were shot under standing order. It clearly was an authoritarian regime. Under your definition, any system with a ruling class, would be authoritarian, and that would also include the GDR.

    The GDR was run by SED, which later formed into the PDS, with many of the same people, even before the unification. That party got votes and was and still is in form of 'Die Linke' an important political party. They weren't 'eradicated'... What happened in the unification to GDR that was bad was the de-industrialization. People were left behind, and the far-right stepped in. Now, I would say that the unification was still good for the people of the former GDR, because they gained more freedom, but that is subjective, of course.

    In the early years the workers in the GDR were coerced by USSR to mine uranium for them. They were subservient to the USSR, not just run by the workers.

    KPD and DKP are electorally negligible, so they aren't representative of Germany's left.

    Ah.. I see you are from .ml...

    First, currently whole Europe is shifting right, so its not only the dissolution of the GDR at play here. However, that the former GDR is a bit farther along can be explained partly by the older generation in the GDR having been socialized in an authoritarian regime, a neo-liberal shift in the last decade(s) afterwards and missing strong civil society, where they felt left behind which affected the youth. And the right was there to gain traction over all these years.

    I don't agree to your framing as 'all organized socialists' getting 'purged and punished', because many individuals are still alive and well today. The PDS, now 'Die Linke' had or has a couple of them in their ranks. Many mistakes where done in the dissolution, but it has been a generally positive change for the people in east Germany.

    BSW, the 'other left', and Putin sympathizer party, founded by an ex-SED politician, is actually closer to the far-right AfD in term of foreign policy, immigration and other topics, then other parties, supporting my point that the common thread is actually authoritarianism then actual social values.
