  • It definitely has more niche use due to the children interactions. Its pretty much just a shorthand for one specific case of function calls you would do so that you dont have to mess with all of reparenting, position, etc. for that case

    Its more useful for engine and tool development (and is used in the engine for the change type button when you right click)

    Off the top of my head a use case in a game would if for some reason you have placeholders, replacing the placeholder with the actual node. Another one is if your enemies change based on a specific metric in the game (e.g. once a run hits 1 minute all enemies change to be a harder enemy), you can just replace the old enemy node/script with the new one so that you get the updated script (would have to also manage the sprite in that case though)





  • Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)

    This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site

    A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week

    (the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)

    edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts
