TL;DR

_ready() is called when the node and its children have all been added to the scene tree and are ready.

See https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/3.x/basics/tree_ready_order/ for a detailed explanation

When a scene is first loaded, this function is called. It is only called once. Use it to initialize variables or any other initializations you need.
