Godot 4.1 3D physics jittery at default tick rate

I am using Godot 4.1 and after I added the first rigidbodies to my game, I noticed the physics seem really unstable. The floor is a StaticBody with large and 1m thick BoxShape. I have RigidBody objects with simple BoxShape colliders and the thinnest side is 0.3m. Often when I knock them on the floor they do not come to rest, but...

Walop,

It’s a bit hard to reliably reproduce, but when I knock down the boxes on their broad side, there’s usually at least one exhibiting this behavior. github.com/Walop/godot-physics-glitch

Walop,

Thanks, I found that myself also and keep in mind. I briefly tried Jolt in the test scene I made for the glitch and it seemed to work more consistently.

Walop,

Ok, thank you. I’ll look into those.

Walop,

Fun fact: US has so weak food counterfeit laws and enforcement it has become the dumping ground for low quality oil or even mixed, making it an allergy hazard. If you haven’t gone out of your way to ensure you are getting the real deal, and paid a premium for it, you probably have never tasted genuine extra virgin olive oil. mashed.com/…/the-real-reason-your-olive-oil-is-pr…

Walop,

33 years ago. It has already been third of a century since 1990…

Walop,

Laws and terms are for the poor. I am sure big players like miHoYo, Niantic and Game Freak (Pokemon Go/Scarler/Violet) already have their own agreements and would not be affected by this.

Walop,

So… If the Unity’s secret spyware and algorithm suddenly decides to count an update as a new installation, you suddenly get slapped with a huge bill. Especially if you release multiple small patches and your whole player base is counted multiple times.

Walop,

The clarification on Xitter states deleting and reinstalling is 2 charges, the same as installing to 2 different devices. twitter.com/stephentotilo/…/1701679721027633280?s…

Walop,

The GM has the power to present a heist, but unless the GM is really railroady, the players have the power to make it a ransom, a demolition job or just ignore everything and join the circus.

One shots, like the few Mörk Borg ones I have recently played, have a higher chance of people doing what the scenario expects, but when a character is given a trait that they only eat named things, the player starts asking and collecting every NPCs name.

Walop,

My interpretation was that setting the soundtrack is a minor tone choise, you’re still going through the movie the GM has made for you. But if the GM is willing, the players may ignore or demolish all the plot points turning the planned Ocean’s 11 to Fast and Furious, or Taken, or Top Gun, or Armageddon except the PCs are the meteorite. Or skip the whole movie and make up their own stage play musical set on the next town over.

EDIT: Everything devolving to Benny Hill still applies, unless there is an actual agreement of the tone everyone should try and uphold.

Walop,

Except you need to choose an instance, can not find your frienda because they chose another one and after a few weeks you find out the admin of your instance is quitting if you didn’t choose mastodon.social

Walop,

For the search you need to know the instance someone is on, I have had the issue of knowing someone is using mastodon or compatible service and even their username, but not the inatance they’re on because I don’t know them personally.

The one largeish local instance that shut down recently had the covenant in the server description, until one day it wasn’t and the server shut down in a month.

Switching servers leaves a lot behind. You can only force your followers to be switched to the new account and export and reimport your own follows. But everything you had posted gets left behind. You can download the whole archive for yourself, but can not currently republish it from the new account.

Still it’s the best social media I have used this far and am expecting it became garbage in a few years now that it is getting popular, because they always do. But let’s have fun while it lasts.

What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

Walop,

The Settlers games have not been Settlers games after the fourth one. Except of course the remake, but that also was a very long time ago.

Walop,

Half as Interesting explained how it ended up like this. piped.video/watch?v=_Bq-6GeRhys

TL;DW; Amazon tried to offload vetting of the third party vendors to the patent and trademark office by requiring their brands are registered, but the vendors ended up generating nonsense brand names that automatically pass because there are too many applications and the names aren’t obviously going to conflict with existing ones.

Walop,

That’s the difference, they hoard wealth and not currency. The value of assets do not go down when currency loses its value with inflation.

Wealthy have little to no cash that would lose value with inflation, they just buy everything on credit and have their wealth tied to assets and investments that probably gain value at least at the pace of inflation.

Walop,

That is exactly what happened with third pound burgers.

Walop,

An Inuit hunter asked the local missionary priest: ‘If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?’ ‘No,’ said the priest, ‘not if you did not know.’ ‘Then why,’ asked the Inuit earnestly, ‘did you tell me?’

Walop,

An apple right now? Five

Millennium Falcon when I’m about to sleep? 1-3

Can I control my imagination enough to go through all the motions of a bolt action rifle reload cycle? No

Walop,

That is also a thing and explains the most vivid ones you only remember when something startles you back to fully awake.

But mostly I meant for me it greatly varies by the situation and what I am trying to imagine.

Walop,

Yes, I do. A lot. Starting from elementary school when a class mate had a really weird pronunciation of Harry Potter.

Some of my embarrassing memories aren’t even something I did, but something I cringed hard at when I saw or heard it. Sometimes I am so afraid someone else is going to embarrass themself I have to block my ears so I don’t hear it.

Walop,

Those are some really nice shoes

Walop,

I have had some people refuse to even try Baba Is You, because it looks ugly.

I had The Hex a few years even installed, so I have tried it, but only after getting familiar with the style of Daniel Mullins’ games with Inscryption I pushed far enough to get interested. Still very clunky, but worth it.

Walop,

Failure should lead to something interesting or fun when possible instead of just “you can not do it”. Like you fumble the picking so bad the lock jams. And it is expensive, so now you not only owe the locksmith the bet, but he is also angry and you need to do something to deal with the situation.

Failure shouldn’t be a stop in the story, only a twist.

Walop,

Every time I see an orb, I think of this speedrun of Semblance by halfcoordinated

This was getting popular

But the it was posted and screenshotted on Twitter to be posted back here and everything went downhill

Not really Richard Dawkins’ original definition of the term when he created it was on the lines of

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

One of the earliest internet memes was just to photoshop “All Your Base Is Belong To Us” on everything.

4chan used to be the internet meme factory where ideas were copied and mutated before they broke out to the wider internet to go viral.

Walop,

Demotivational posters and rage comics were varied from get go and didn’t have a single viral hit sparking them.

Walop,

Once an idea is passed to event a single other person it has spread.

Walop,

As it should be

Walop,

I don’t speak french, but I know how annoying it is when people leave out diacritics and make other mistakes they could have avoided just using a minute to verify.
