After hours of reading about piracy rates, the two best things I found were:

- A 2010 U.S. Government Accountability Office report to congress calling most reports on piracy bullshit / lobby tools

- A world map of showing the % per Internet connection of BitTorrent game pirates lol (boa Portugal!)

Spent the last month or so working on this new (and very important!) area for ABYSS X ZERO!

Haven't worked on an area like this since the Downtown from UNSIGHTED, so it's been very nostalgic to create these urban/city assets.

A lot of WIP elements here still!

made a colossal weapon skill to test some stance breaking & knockback stuff I was doing but it ended up way prettier than necessary

I cant stop hearing the impact sound every time. VFX are just so fun

doubt its about space anymore. its about control

studios have become used to D1 patches, DRM and live fixes to the point it doesnt make sense to have anything dumped on a cartridge sitting idle in a storehouse months before release just to be leaked and and still be behind the latest build anyway

What does an artist do, mostly? She tweaks that which she’s already done. There are those moments when we sit before a blank page, but mostly we’re adjusting that which is already there. The writer revises, the painter touches up, the director edits, the musician overdubs. I write, “Jane came into the room and sat down on the blue couch,” read that, wince, cross out “came into the room” and “down” and “blue” (Why does she have to come into the room? Can someone sit UP on a couch? Why do we care if it’s blue?) and the sentence becomes “Jane sat on the couch – ” and suddenly, it’s better (Hemingwayesque, even!), although … why is it meaningful for Jane to sit on a couch? Do we really need that? And soon we have arrived, simply, at “Jane”, which at least doesn’t suck, and has the virtue of brevity.

See also, George Saunders' essay "What writers really do when they write" which has maybe the definitive paragraph on editing I've ever read. www.theguardian.com/books/2017/m...

The Unity HDRP is Dead – GameFromScratch.com Unity have just announced HDRP and the Built In Render pipelines are as good as dead with URP being the new priority SRP

but rest assured that if youre now completely dependent on built-in, Unity wont just leave you hanging without some official, easy and reliable way to convert all your assets and configs to URP, since its a forced change.

right? 🤡

It's incredible how it was revealed that the anti-trans push over the past decade was concocted in no small part by a literal PEDOPHILE CONSPIRACY and the reaction of transphobic lawmakers, journalists, academics has been a shrug and a "well, we gotta
carry out the orders from pedophile island"

most of these wont even compile without human intervention, let alone be shippable/playable.

Unity itself is underestimating how much of a finnicky asshole Unity is, to think any bs one saves in a .cs file would make it a game.

also, you can't even vibe code your way in and around the editor

It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency – without evidence – of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition.

Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administration’s dealings with Venezuela’s new leadership.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.

"Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Completely aside from the other horribleness here, to say "we don't try to moderate reviews based on accuracy" is tantamount to admitting your reviews system is a completely arbitrary popularity contest that may not have any actual relation to the product. One that can make or break your game sales!

Trump diz que EUA vão governar Venezuela interinamente e controlar petróleo do país
Em pronunciamento, Donald Trump disse que petroleiras norte-americanas voltarão a explorar petróleo na Venezuela e disse que vai governar o país até uma transição, mas indicou que María Corina Machado não fará parte do novo governo. E falou em ampliar 'domínio dos EUA' no Ocidente.

A mídia comercial e hereditária e a extrema-direita entreguista não precisam mais mentir sobre uma tal de defesa da democracia na Venezuela ou de um suposto combate ao narcotráfico.

O agressor já declarou com todas as letras qual é o objetivo real.

Agora, toda a América Latina é alvo potencial.
