Video Poker! just yesterday a video on YouTube was interviewing a old man about his years as an enforcer for an active New York City organized crime group - video poker was explicitly one of his stories about how they ran the gambling rooms.

Not long after, the "pizza-gate" events happened and changed the business a lot.

I really like Godot so far but the debugging tools are massively inferior to any other IDE and language I've ever used. I waste so much time trying to track down bugs. Proper variable inspection would be a life saver, for instance.

I’m curious about your experience with GDScript - which I presume is new to you - because it’s been a stumbling block for me trying Godot.

There are nuanced differences, I think of GDScript as a Python / JavaScript type of language, has the syntax of Python but has some JS / TypeScript things to it.

This is more a question of curiosity than one of judgment: why does it take so long to load? I guess I expected it to be very fast because of the relative simplicity. Forgive me, I know nothing about Godot or Unity. This is still very cool.
