minus-squarecm0002@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up49arrow-down1·1 year agoOhhhhh, I thought it was about Godot, the C# game engine
minus-squareAeroLemming@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoI took it to mean that too and thought it was saying that there was some update that was taking forever. We already got 4 though, so it wouldn’t make any sense being posted lately.
minus-squaremindbleach@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoThat’s what it’s named after! “The engine you’ve been waiting for.”
minus-squaremkwt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·1 year agoIt’s a play. And the famous spoiler is that ::: spoiler Spoiler Godot never shows up :::.

minus-squarecan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 year agoHeads-up, that spoiler formatting might not work for users not on Sync.
minus-squareHagarashi8@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYeah, doesn’t work on boost.
minus-squaresaigot@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoWhich is weird spoiler because boost has a button to add spoilers.
minus-squaremkwt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI’m on jerboa, and the spoiler part works okay for me. But it somehow swallowed the first part of the post. I haven’t looked on the web client.
minus-squarecan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI checked and it doesn’t work at all on the web.
minus-squareMBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI don’t think that spoiler worked. Maybe because it’s all on the same line
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoPublished in 52 by Les Éditions de Minuit. In a book. “En attendant Godot”
minus-squareTheyCallMeHacked@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYeah sure, I’ll admit defeat. Btw, weird flex for an Irishman to write a play in French…
minus-squareBonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·1 year agoThat makes me feel old. It’s Waiting for Godot the classic play.
minus-squarecan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-21 year agoDon’t feel old. A lot of people just aren’t into plays.

minus-squareAltima NEO@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-21 year agoI mean Im over 40 and Ive never heard of it. We didnt read plays in high school.
minus-squareBonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoWow, we read all kinds of plays in English and drama class.
minus-squarecan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNo, I never heard of it, sorry lol. I’m not really into plays though and I’m Canadian so it might not be part of our curriculum.
minus-squareBonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI am also Canadian. But probably old enough to be your mom.
minus-squarecan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYou could be but she’s not very old. Could be a province or eastcoast/westcoast thing too.
minus-squareBonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI think I read it in drama class.
I don’t get it

no. Beckett specifically said “If I meant God I would have written God.”

He was waiting for good dough.
