I would prefer to join the Association when/if I do something other than help with the translation or editing the wiki (which I haven’t updated in a while).
There is also Oncpapa’s argument, which I agree with.
[EDIT: Actually I’m learning how to program right now and I just realized how dumb I am]
Speaking of learning programming, I’m starting to learn how to use Source 2 tools (mainly Hammer and a bit of Lua programming with HL: Alyx API). I’m aiming to make a gamemode and a map for S&Box, but I actually need proof I’m worthy (e.g. example maps, projects, etc.) and that requires experience, which I’m accumulating whenever I have free time from school work, which is getting exceedingly rare week by week despite how few classes I have.
I think that the thrive steam release will bring way more popularity to thrive, (hopefully). I think we should expect to see some more new faces when this happens!
Its going to be exiting seeing early multicellular stage coming into existence as well.
I don’t know about PewDiePie or Jacksepticeye since they don’t really play a lot of video games and they really do the big releases, markpiler is most likely since he doing a series on smaller weird simulator games. but I feel it would take the 1.0 release before any big youtubers to cover the game
The Creature Stage from Spore was my favorite and the main thing that got me excited about Thrive was imagining that concept but with a lot more depth and thought put into it
Edit: Off-topic, but I just noticed Discourse changed the green glow around the profile pictures when the user is online. Ngl I liked the old one better but I like this one as well
