I think Burnham was referencing Book, not Tyler, when she said she knows what it’s like to lose someone but got him back. Book died during the final events of 10C, but they magically zapped him back into existence, if I recall correctly.

Not sure either, ENT rewatch was some years ago… I think that might’ve been another time version / shapeshifter or something something?

Hah, yes! Or O’Brien, the most important Starfleet officer in history!

As a show with so much promise, I often felt Disco reached for big concepts but never quite managed to get there. It would get bogged down with pathos and dragged out plot lines. Unfortunately, season 5 felt no different. This episode dragged on and on for me. Mol and L’ak had mostly become irrelevant and were completely unnecessary in this episode.

I get the series got axed and additional scenes were shot to round things out. But that random “we’re all hugging” scene? It was weird. And didn’t the actress who played Detmer say their absence was planned and revealing anything would be a big spoiler or something? Well. No, it really wasn’t.

Kovitsch was Daniels? I think at that point of the story, he could’ve been anyone and it wouldn’t have landed. He could’ve been Sloane (not dead after all!) and it would’ve made as much sense and be just as meaningful to the story.

The progenitor plot? With a tick list of “clues” and “challenges” to lead the way, but ultimately we decide your worthiness to reshape the universe as we know it with a geometry puzzle? I can’t even.

Discovery had potential, back in the day, but disappointed year on year. I had hoped this final season would offer redemption, but alas. Decent bunch of actors, but with subpar writing that usually went nowhere coherent. I won’t miss it. Glad it’s done. I hope Paramount learnt some valuable lessons from this and moves things on.

Something about the former Primarch really reminds me of Sarris from Galaxy Quest.

Thanks for posting this here, just purchased it. Keen to dive into the 2D course and the Shaders course!

Did anyone else notice that the alien statues in 5x02 looked remarkably similar to the Batarians from Mass Effect?

The Star Trek games I played growing up were 25th Anniversary (the ship battles were too complicated for 11yo me), later on I used my own pocket money and bought Final Unity. The Chodak are still a very cool alien race added to the universe. Loved those frog faces in space suits. :-)

Played and finished Elite Force and Armada. Earl Boehn (RIP) as a main villain was a moment of teenage glee being such a massive T2 and TNG nerd.

Interested in Resurgence, my husband recently played it on his PS5 but I don’t go near that machine. 😂

This is true! I’ve only dabbled with the tilemap features, but the changes made are impressive. And for more advanced users in 3D, it seems really quite phenomenal.

So much cool stuff to play with! Great summary by GDQuest. Integer scaling for pixel art - finally! Very chuffed with this.

I was wondering if the “Previously” bit at the start was maybe Eugene Roddenberry, channeling his mum?

Loved the episode. Did I understand correctly that the Betazoids were travelling from planet to planet to find a cure for this rampant emotional telepathic event?

Does that mean T’Lyns powers extended that far?

Or were they secretly hunting for the alien ship? I got a little bit lost with the fast dialog.

On a random note, funny how in ten forward the two guys making out kept inserting themselves in almost every scene.

Also - just wondering how popular the show is. Looking at the drop off in comments week-on-week, I wonder if people have dropped out.

Yeah, all your criticisms sound fair to me. My issues with live-version baby-Hera haven’t changed over the past 5 episodes. I said it before, but I would’ve loved to see Vanessa Marshall try out for the role. Her voice is Hera to me. And Caretaker in the Marvel’s Midnight Suns game, but that’s a different story.

I truly enjoyed episode 5, but can’t escape the fact that I feel sour about episodes 1-4. If episode 5 had been episode 2 (and we condensed 1-4 into 1) that would’ve been much, much better. Just take me to the action, show me ass-kicking Ahsoka, that’s what I’m here for. Not the Ahsoka who apparently went through a difficult time and doesn’t have conviction. What? When?? I know she was shaken up about discovering Anakin’s true identity, but if that caused a deep soul-searching moment, show me that. The series as a whole has suffered quite a lot from “tell, don’t show” where even the “telling” is stilted and flat.

But again, I felt episode 5 gave me hope for the remaining few episodes left.

Weird theory, but where do Force Ghosts go when they’re not “ghosting around” the place? Maybe they go to the World Between Worlds. That would make some kind of story-sense, since Anakin became one.

How did he become one? Let’s gloss over that one, since apparently it’s a long-lost Jedi skill that Qui-Gon rediscovered, passed on to Yoda, who passed it on to Obi-Wan, after Padmé died. So not sure when Anakin was eavesdropping in on that thing, but oh well. That’s a prequel/CW issue, not an Ahsoka issue.

I think Andor’s something special. It’s such a unique show that adds a layer of depth to this universe that we’ve not seen before. Tricky one to use as a comparison for all the other stuff. For me, this series sits quite comfortably next to the latest Mandalorian season. Lots of lore, some CW/Rebels characters and a too-slow, but (hopefully) ultimately entertaining season arc.

That is weird! Once my project is in a shareable state, I’ll post the link here. Maybe it’s because (so far) it’s not awfully complex…

You may want to change the fact that web exports don’t work on macOS. MacBook Pro M1 user here. I’m happily running my Godot 4.1 as web exports on my server. Setting the headers is required for any browser / operating system, but things seem to work fine for me on Mac.

Oh, absolutely, and more power to them. Godot 4 has been an incredible piece of work and each update things are getting better and better. The thought of more developers using Godot is exciting, since it feels like we’re nearing the tipping point where it will really take off.

Managed to fix it by using await get_tree().process_frame instead. It seems that idle_frame appears to no longer exist in Godot 4.1?

So my full code for triggering the screenshot function is:

func _on_SaveReport_pressed():
	await get_tree().process_frame
	$"%SaveReport".visible = false
	$"%BackMainMenu".visible = false
	await get_tree().process_frame
	
	take_screenshot()

	$"%SaveReport".visible = true
	$"%BackMainMenu".visible = true

For some reason, I have to await before I turn the interface elements off, and after I’ve turned them off. It now works a treat for my app. Thank you for your assistance!

await get_tree().idle_frame

Thank you for this! I just tried it out but unfortunately Godot throws an error on await get_tree().idle_frame : Invalid get index 'idle_frame' (on base: 'SceneTree').

Could it be because I’m running in application mode, which only refreshes the screen if there’s an update?

As an alternative, I’ve put the code to turn things off into its own function:

func turn_off():
	$"%SaveReport".visible = false
	$"%BackMainMenu".visible = false

I’ve then tried an await turn_off()

The code runs, but doesn’t do anything and the screenshot still gets saved with the buttons visible.

I’m trying both await functions just before the take_screenshot() function like so:

	await turn_off()
	await get_tree().idle_frame
	
	take_screenshot()

Am I missing something very obvious here? Any help would be much appreciated!

I took away the 2 .visible = true commands at the end, just to see if they were the culprit. They are not. It appears that the get_viewport().get_texture().get_image() command gets called before the interface elements are turned off, even though the order of code would make me think otherwise.
