I liked the first one, but this one, meh. A lot of truisms, it seemed like the wiki narrated. I found it tiring, even though it was only 20 minutes. Who cares about the story of all the Minetest sites? The new Minetesters don't. And those of us who have been here for years, even less.

Juanchi-advice: The podcasts should be of advanced topics, indicated for the people of the community who have been there longer. The banal topics are secondary.

Listen to a successful podcast to get an idea. And do it with more people, more points of view, unless it's a programming podcastsat exclusively. Tell anecdotes and funny stuff to get people hooked, etc. etc. etc.

More sauce and less academism.

It may be true that this episode was not as interesting as the first, but I would have found it useful if I were new to Minetest. I didn't realize there was anything besides the forum and wiki for years--not GitHub, IRC, the other communities, or even lua_api.txt (it was pretty bad using the Dev Wiki for API information).

By the way, am I correct in assuming the code in the image is inventory.lua from Minetest Game's creative mod?

Just some minor corrections from Ep2: I think you said Tenplus1 runs NotABug.org.. not really, he's just the most well-known Minetest modder that uses that website, it's a general-purpose free software site. Other popular sites outside of the major git hosters are repo.or.cz (I pronounce it "repo orcs" :)) and git.minetest.land, which is the only Minetest-specific hoster I know.

No idea on the actual blurred text. I have Benrob to thank for the album artwork. Ask him if you want to find out ;)
