There really should be an investigation...even though Kavanaugh is against it.

DePingus Link ParentDo you care about chickens in a coop or cows in a pen? Of course not. These are just migrants in a tent. Big deal. Its not like they're actually people. /s Or least that's what they've been trying...I can't imagine how anyone can justify this behavior other than blind rage and hate.

Or least that's what they've been trying to ingrain in our minds for a while now. And its totally working.

If you don't the thin parts will be over cooked or the thick parts will be under cooked. Also, if you got an extra 30 minutes, brining helps a lot.

Though I feel like a couple of the main characters acted unrealistically near the beginning to setup the major conflict (so far). It felt forced. Aside from that its been moving along nicely.

I feel like you're reaching with this one. That's how these clubs work; the the owner even confirmed it. If it was Seinfeld or Silverman that showed up and bumped a lesser comedian off, would you call it "flexing their privilege"?
Actually, you might call it exactly that. But they would be flexing the privilege earned by getting famous at standup comedy (notice I said EARNED). Not some white/male/whatever privilege that you're insinuating here.
Its okay to be angry at him. But be angry at him for the right things.

When doing solo gamedev; full game suites like GoDot and Unity don't click with everyone. Some people prefer to get down and dirty with the code in a simple editor like VS, VSCode, or Sublime. Maybe that's why you jumped to C++?
There's an ocean between C++ and GoDot. Maybe find a framework that does the heavy lifting for you without the overheard of a GUI. I love (no pun intended) LÖVE (http://love2d.org), a Lua based framework.

Rinse. Repeat.
