Technology

@car wasn’t far off, but the general attitude I get when going there is that, like StackOverflow, a lot of people there are professionals and will give you their professional opinion, and they do take the whole server fairly seriously. There’s not really anything wrong with that, but it’s not for me. I never had the kind of maturity required to fit in at a company like that or in a professional environment of that type. Shit, I even tried phone sales at one point, and it felt very office-y, and.. idk if I’m explaining what I mean very well. It just wasn’t for me. It feels stuffy, maybe that’s the word.

In contrast, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in the Godot discord, specifically in voice, which the Unity discord very rarely participates in. While there have been a few toxic individuals, the feeling I get is that of a community that takes itself far less seriously, is far more laid back, and is more willing to shoot the shit, but at the same time, if someone needs help, it’s very well moderated, people will be very concise about their explanations, and doesn’t really tell you how to solve your problem with A by using B instead, unless you specifically ask if there’s a better general solution.

Again, this is on the whole, YMMV, but I’ve been having more fun with gamedev just being around those people than I ever did on the Unity discord.

Although both are better than the Unity Forums. Fuck you, Eric5h5
