PirateSoftware Leaves OffBrand Games as Stop Killing Games Reaches Goal
-
Most of the folks I've heard making tutorials about it pronounce it "guhDOUGH." To get that FOSS cred the name has to be a dumpster fire.

Oo boon too?

Pretty sure the correct pronunciation is the first, but a lot of people say it as the second.
... lets just name the next big FOSS thing 'Uranus' and watch everyone disagree about how to pronounce that, very loudly.

I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who was ranting about Godot "being woke" last year lol
They got 6, count them SIX, negative reviews in one day. Such review bombing, indeed.

So... I actually tinker around in Godot.
Whilst looking around to see if anyone had, or was developing an extension I would find useful...
I discovered 'Redot'.
Basically, there is a small but very vocal group of people who are very, very angry that a Godot community manager made some pro LGBT, inclusive twitter posts, turned that into a culture war flare up on twitter...
And then forked Godot.
To make the anti-woke version of Godot.
Their youtube channel has, as best I can tell, absolutely no descriptions of any substantial differences from... you know, an actual game engine feature set perspective.
Beyond of course being behind Godot now, lol.
What they do have is a bunch of rants about politics and edrama for their 'non-political' game engine.
Also... they pronounce Redot as Re-Dot, hard t.
Godot is Godot as in Waiting for Godot.
Go - Dough. God - Oh.
The t is silent.
... of course these idiots are literally uncultured and have never read the screenplay or seen the stage play, so they have no idea how to pronounce the word.
Could have gone with Re - Do, or Re - Dough, those would have been closer, the first at least an obvious allusion to them being a Godot fork.
But no. Re Dot.

Is bigot pronounced "bih-got" or "bih-go?"

What has this Pirate Software released? I'm not familiar with their games

I don't like pirate software like any other guy, but I want to put credit where credit is due.
He wasn't ranting about Godot being woke last year. He was actually actively defending it from all the bigots. One of the very few YouTubers or streamers, I saw.
You have probably mistaken him with Asmongold.
He has long hair too, and he is right wing nutjob pos. -

Wait, did PirateSoftware rant about wokeness, or are you confusing him with fellow failed game dev Grummz?

Okay, as much as I approve of mocking bigots, I didn't pronounce "Godot" properly for a few years because I had never heard the name spoken before. I'd only ever read it.
Usually, if a word is used properly, but pronounced wrong, it's an indicator that the word was learned from reading, not from hearing. Typically, people receptive to learning will try to correct themselves when it's pointed out. I'm very self conscious of this because I'm awful at pronouncing words.
But for folks like this, yeah, mock the hell out of them.

"on discord and twitter"
Alright, so no review bombing going on then, as Twitter is full of dumbfucks anyway and can burn to the ground, and who the hell goes on Discord to review a game? It seems like it was about harassment, and not review bombing.

Godot being woke? Wtf?

I don’t like him. Never have, never will.
no idea who he is, should I care?

You do understand that on Steam if you have 50% or more negative reviews, it is a "Mostly Negative" and puts people off even trying. Bad reviews can have a serious effect on sales. 10 negative reviews in millions is nothing, 10 negative reviews alongside 10 positive is detrimental. It's all about the percentage and indie games work at a different scale.
I'm unsure what the point about working for Blizzard means. You'll have to elaborate.
On Steam you can report review bombing events to have the reviews struck from the list so...
And the working at blizzard line is mocking Thor for literally never shutting the fuck up about his nepobaby job.

There's an Arduino-based CNC controller firmware called GRBL. Gurble? Gerbil? Garble? GeeArrBeeElle? GuhRuhBuhLuh?

I most often hear it pronounced you-bun-too.
But it is oo-boon-too.
