Well my impressions is that they de facto trying to adjust while keeping de jure the same situation. I did not read the whole article however, just skimmed it as fast as I could.

So same as Portugal has been doing for decades - decriminalise small use and treat it as a public health problem instead of making average citizens into criminals. Portugal has a lot of bad things to it, but having no war on drugs has made

Plus why in the heck do we have fossil fuels being subsidised? That always felt absurd to me, at least these days

I think we’re beginning to see the madness of even a slight climate adjustment and how it’s impacting lives (and in the case of Greece and Portugal and many other people - killing people in massive fires) People are beginning to seriously f

There was massive disinformation campaign through targeted massive whatsapp groups. Everyone in Brasil is on whatsapp so that was a way to do it. I understand your point but some research would help. It’s not so much as blaming ISPs for pir

I don’t understand how that implies people who dislike his art style to be stupid. I’d see the expression more as a reflection of “find your niche, ignore everyone else”

If he was making huge money on these games, why wouldn't he invest I having better artists? Are you saying that the ROI for having better art is so high that he’s in a self perpetuating cycle so to speak? By keeping his games ugly he h

Don’t know what article you read. He said the art being shit makes business sense to him

Lol seriously the dude runs with sprites from 20 years ago? That’s seriously amazing

by sprafa 7y ago
Disrespectful ? The dude says his games look like crap. He doesn’t say everyone else’s should. He’s explaining why it makes business sense for him to do so! This is business 101 from a sucessful indie game dev

Amazing that we need an article to say something we all already know because the company is so deceitful.

No video professionals. Which is to say 90% yes. (I am one)

I am also Brazilian but yeah I’m not saying any of this is right. I just don’t get the sanctions idea being so popular around here.
314.
by sprafa 7y ago
Absolutely not. But I don’t think sanctions are a great idea.
315.
by sprafa 7y ago
So defensive? It’s the second time news like this have shown up and it’s the second time people have suggested sanctions. Usually Americans living under a regime that is one of the few countries to pull out of the Paris Agreement. You don’t

IT is colonialist, patronizing, and evil. The US and the "developed" world have set course for self annihilation and the US in particular has done nothing to solve its own path by leaving the Paris Agreement. But hey let's bl

by sprafa 7y ago
So the "developed" world sets course for anihilating itself and Brasil gets the blame? How very American of you.

That looks great!

by sprafa 7y ago
Yes it did. Much improved.

I like this comment too much. I pretty much steer clear from Autodesk ever since they detonated softimage.

This is still reasonably true for Adobe and C4D (Maxon in particular seem to do virtually nothing to stop piracy)

An hour? Jesus Lord. I’m pretty to work in C4D with lowish polygon counts for motion graphics.

Blender has had a pretty incredible run. Their built in tenderer is so good (and open source) that a particle sim company ported it to Cinema4D

by sprafa 7y ago
Absolutely. I just tried it recently after years of shunning it for its UI and it looks and feels fantastically better. It should’ve been like this ages ago but there you go, they’ve finally changed it.

by sprafa 7y ago
Which is exactly what it did around the 50s and 60s. But back then the world was a different place - that’s essentially when equality maxed out.

Meh. Why so negative? A man makes money after doing some transgressive things in the past that are considered iconic. Sell out? Really?

His memory is remarkable. Even when he talks about politics he seems to know and remember more than virtually anyone else I’ve ever seen.

Fascinating that so much money is going into blockchain startups when I can’t think of that many useful applications for it.

Most of the Chinese can’t afford to eat?? That’s a pretty bold claim. Evidence?

Fascinating story. Thanks for sharing. It does put the Chinese example into perspective...
