Quite a bit has happened since my last
post. I'm still off work due to retarded officials that are too
chicken shit to make real decisions based on what is plainly obvious.
Anyway I'll go over my game dev stuff before I rant on world
affairs.
So far I haven't made a lot of progress
on a MVP. Originally I was just going to print out a bunch of large
textures that would represent the background/floors of stages. I did
this and ended up with a series of pretty bland art assets that was
about 7gb compressed.... That is without furniture and other assets
that I would have to include at some point.
So I had to go back to the drawing
board and decide if I wanted to give up resolution quality for file
size. Eventually I saw that the best course of action was to go with
a tile set.... lol.... Anyway, the building I modeled isn't a waste
as I can use a lot of the materials in the tile set, and some things
can be scaled to put into a tile and overall works as a good concept
art for what I want. The only thing I'm irritated by is spending all
that time trying to make one idea work only go back and make new
assets. Oh well, just what happens when you start learning.
So I'm currently making tiles. I'll be
rendering them at a birds eye perspective instead of top down because
I think it will be more interesting visually.
The rest of this post will be just some
recaps on real world events, and my opinion on them. I'll sort of
expedite this as I should get back to work on my game -_-;
-Storm Trooper gets assaulted by
police-
As many Star Wars fans have heard, a
young lady dressed up as a Storm Trooper outside a Star Wars themed
restaurant was assaulted by police after Karen and the crazy cat lady
called in a firearms threat.
It's plainly obvious they went
overboard on the use of force and there is no doubt in my mind that
if it had been a citizen making an arrest in this fashion, they
likely would be facing jail time due to excessive use of force (no
pun intended).
Sadly, they will likely be treated like
'A' list celebrities and be out on the beat with no consequence to
their life or lively hood. Hopefully people still call them out on
this as nothing will change unless people get mad and say something
about it.
I'll say it for the record. If you
signed up to be a police officer, then you also signed up for the
risk. It's not alright that they compromise our safety and rights
for theirs. If a solder did the same thing they did, there would
likely be a court Martel.
-Castro Jr's ban on 'Assault Style
Guns'-
Purely undemocratic. I don't care what
side of the gun debate you're on. We don't make sweeping legislation
in a democracy. There is a very good reason why we have due process.
He is a complete embarrassment to this nation.
-Mandatory vaccinations and digital
health certificates-
NO!
-The WHO-Gates vaccine-
I'd tell Bill, but I'm sure he knows
where he can stick it.
-Covid-
It's pretty obvious by now that the
WHOs' predictions were completely off the mark. We did not see
ambulances racing up and down the streets. We did not see ICU
bursting at the seams. And we did not see a holocaust of dead
people.
Some doctors have come out, namely Dr
Erickson and Dr Cahill, to speak out about how the governments are
handling this.
While I'm not unhappy that people are
asking questions to their credibility, I find it kind of appalling
that they don't use the same enthusiasm when the MSM comes out with
their own 'expert'.
The rule of thumb for me is to collect
information and verify for myself if and when possible. Despite what
the critiques say about the two above mentioned, their claims have
been in line with what I have seen for myself.
-The statues quo-
Originally I saw this whole 'pandemic'
as a way to crash/reset the world economy, which, lets face it, was
being held together with monopoly money and was beginning to show
signs of a different kind of dystopia if left unchecked.
I still believe that this is the case,
however like every cause has its grifers, opportunist and extremest.
There are those with less than scrupulous, or even a maniacal
disillusion of, 'for the greater good', that will use this 'crisis' to
their own self interest. I think for this reason it's time to start
speaking up and slam the breaks on this fiasco.
I intend to keep protesting via
comments and blog post like this. I intend to sign petitions when possible. I don't intend to just sit around
and let anyone have their way with me.
I feel that the known world has had a
deficit of bravery for quite some time now. People are trading their
agency to let someone else deal with 'it' or protect them from what
essentially equates to being the boogie man. I think we'll be seeing
in the coming months just how many brave people are left.
