  • This worked perfectly - thank you!!

    For anyone else looking here later, the final shader code (confirmed working Godot 4.2) is:

    shader_type canvas_item;
    
    uniform sampler2D screen_texture : hint_screen_texture;
    uniform vec4 water_color : source_color;
    uniform sampler2D wave_noise : repeat_enable;
    
    void fragment() {
    	vec2 water_wave = (texture(wave_noise, UV * TIME * 0.02).rg - 0.5) * 0.02;
    	vec2 uv = vec2(SCREEN_UV.x , SCREEN_UV.y - UV.y) + water_wave;
    	vec4 color = texture(screen_texture, uv);
    	float mix_value = 1.0 - UV.y;
    
    	float avg_color = (color.r + color.g + color.b) / 3.0;
    	avg_color = pow(avg_color, 1.4);
    	mix_value += avg_color;
    
    	mix_value = clamp(mix_value, 0.0, 0.7);
    	COLOR = vec4(mix(water_color, color, mix_value).rgb, texture(TEXTURE, UV).a);
    }
    

    Credits to Single-mindedRyan for creating this shader in the first place.








  • As a show with so much promise, I often felt Disco reached for big concepts but never quite managed to get there. It would get bogged down with pathos and dragged out plot lines. Unfortunately, season 5 felt no different. This episode dragged on and on for me. Mol and L’ak had mostly become irrelevant and were completely unnecessary in this episode.

    I get the series got axed and additional scenes were shot to round things out. But that random “we’re all hugging” scene? It was weird. And didn’t the actress who played Detmer say their absence was planned and revealing anything would be a big spoiler or something? Well. No, it really wasn’t.

    Kovitsch was Daniels? I think at that point of the story, he could’ve been anyone and it wouldn’t have landed. He could’ve been Sloane (not dead after all!) and it would’ve made as much sense and be just as meaningful to the story.

    The progenitor plot? With a tick list of “clues” and “challenges” to lead the way, but ultimately we decide your worthiness to reshape the universe as we know it with a geometry puzzle? I can’t even.

    Discovery had potential, back in the day, but disappointed year on year. I had hoped this final season would offer redemption, but alas. Decent bunch of actors, but with subpar writing that usually went nowhere coherent. I won’t miss it. Glad it’s done. I hope Paramount learnt some valuable lessons from this and moves things on.















  • I’ve been on Manjaro for about 1.5 years now too. I switched over to the Unstable branch a while back, which fixed this issue for me. This branch seems to be getting all packages at the same speed as regular Arch. Plus, I still get the Manjaro-specific kernels, access to their repos, integrated pamac, etc. For now, I’m sticking with Manjaro this way.
