Late response but cool song recommendation :)

I don't know how materials work in Asset Forge, but they have a guide on their site for exporting models to animate with Mixamo: https://kenney.nl/knowledge-base/asset-forge/rigging-a-character-using-mixamo. You could also animate things like moving platforms or doors in-engine with an AnimationPlayer.

Speaking of Asset Forge, Kenny Shape is a similar thing for quickly throwing assets together. It has a really fast 2D workflow for creating 3D models that reminds me of Doom mapping a little bit. For lo-fi levels, you might also like Crocotile 3D or the combo of TrenchBroom + Qodot. Crocotile is great for repurposing 2D pixel art tilesets from itch or OpenGameArt into 3D assets, and Trenchbroom/Qodot is a more fully featured level editor I've seen people work crazy fast in.

Itch and Kenney have good ones:

Synty also has a nice placeholder pack for $7. The post-it notes are kind of adorable:

I don't think most of these are made for Godot, so you may have to mess around with import settings or set up tilesets/materials yourself

If he collects enough metrics, he could make a horrendously cursed blogpost out of it like Aella

Every time I see these crypto games, I can only think of the online uwu pit bosses shown in that one Folding Ideas video who were driving workers to slave away for less than the minimum wage in the Phillipines. Just permanently burned-in mental imagery.

This is a cool channel by the way. I'm stealing this description from someone in the YouTube comments, but he has a creative "glitchcore SFM aesthetic" that I kind of like and his speaking cadence reminds me of Primer. His style works strangely well for ripping into NFT games. This video felt like looking into a funhouse mirror dimension where every genre of game is somehow even worse than the worst games I've ever seen.

Also, the Dr. Disrespect-Chewbacca mask guy doing NFT lootbox openings is something I can't unsee. That's honestly so much funnier that he's still doing it after the Dr. Disrespect sexting minors scandal.

Chiming in with my own find!

I've seen this person around a lot with crazy takes on AI. They have a couple quotes that might inflict psychic damage:

If I had the skill to pull it off, a Buddhist cultivation book would've thus been the single most rationalist xianxia in existence.

My acquaintance asks for rational-adjacent books suitable for 8-11 years old children that heavily feature training, self-improvement, etc. The acquaintance specifically asks that said hard work is not merely mentioned, but rather is actively shown in the story. The kid herself mostly wants stories "about magic" and with protagonists of about her age.

They had a long diatribe I don't have a copy of, but they were gloating about having masterful writing despite not reading any books besides non-fiction and HPMoR, their favorite book of all time.

There's also a whole subreddit from hell about this subgenre of fiction: https://www.reddit.com/r/rational/

I've seen people say that /uj is essential to keeping communities healthy. If you only allow 'reasonable discussion', you allow all kinds of awful people in as long as they're not too obvious, while regular people get reprimanded for responding to it. But if you only allow shitposting and no genuine discussion, it's going to become genuine whether you want it to or not (see: Gamers Rise Up or similar)

On here, you can see people write earnestly on a bunch of different topics, but you can also see them just tell a promptfan "you can't get it up unless the fingers are wrong, can you" and ban them. It's great

I don't even want to watch that video because I know I'm going to get annoyed by it. Veritasium's video on self-driving cars was so awful, it was enough for me to just sort them into the Sketchy Pop-Sci YouTube Channels bucket for good. I've heard that their videos on electricity and that one physics bet were also pretty shaky.
