In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.

The term "bug" for computer bug gained popularity when they found a literal moth in the circuits of the Harvard Mark II in 1947!
Look at this lil guy. A moth hero, standing up to the machines.

This would be a really worthwhile task for the modding community to take up (if they haven't already, I haven't dug too deep into cyberpunk mods). It really should be done by the devs, though.

Hey! I uploaded the latest in my pokemon-battle-clone series.
I explain how we can use a finite-state machine to control game flow better, and we implement quick moves, struggle, critical hits, fainting and a win/loss states.
