  • Software tools -

    • obsidian for keeping track and record keeping and noting ideas.
    • Obsidian Canvas, Miro - for mood boarding, currently using canvas but I am looking for an alternative that’s FOSS and very light weight.
    • paint to make diagrams and concept ideas.
    • Typora - good distraction free free writing tool.
    • Keep - quick idea noting, but slowly shifting over to obsidian mobile. Unfortunately it isn’t as intuitive on mobile, need to configure it.

    I am only making use of these so far, but I am also currently on the lookout for a map creator tool. The mainstream ones are either to anemic or paid.

    Idea Generation Tools -

    • Immersion techniques, subscribing to the communities I want to use for inspiration to learn more in depth about them, watching videos, shows, reading articles
    • I have an Idea bucket from where I pick and mix in with other ideas to come up with something.
    • Deviant art, Reddit, other socials for interesting art to take inspiration from.
    • recently I’ve also been creating playlists on all the social media platforms.





  • Hell, even a lot of PUBLISHERS would rather keep their games running forever.

    This is such a shit take that publishers want games running forever. The whole reason they get shut down is because they don’t make a profit and if something that’s not earning them money might as well be something that’s going to take gamers away from their new game. So they’ll of course shut it down. It’s in their incentive.

    Your arguments seem very disingenuous.


  • Well, from the perspective of a developer who expects to get fired any second now because funding will arbitrarily dry up. Yeah, the end result will TOTALLY be that you get an extra six months of salary to make the offline client and not that you’ll be held in breach of contract and lose your severance because you couldn’t pound that out in a week.

    This is like saying:

    “You shouldn’t ask for more rights, otherwise I will have to work in the gulags for longer.”







  • And that would be for the Individual Americans to decide, or the institutions.

    It wouldn’t have been plundered.

    You are assuming that the artifacts such as those held in the British museum solely represent “saving culture” but they also represent the lingering colonial mindset. They weren’t taken away to preserve, they were taken as plunder. LITERALLY.

    6:40 <- mark, watch the whole thing if you have the time.

    Imagine if Nigeria and other african countries invaded your country, forced you into indentured servitude, spread propoganda and took all the art/artifacts to their country and used the excuse that your president is a fascist douche turd and because of that none of you are worthy enough to handle it. You just can’t be trusted with your own art and then never returned it even after things got objectively better.


  • Of cause keeping it is worse. If the capital is too far away, why would London be better?

    Exactly. We agree there then.

    Countries are a social construct so instead of focusing on boarders, bring it directly to the cultural heirs.

    I think this tricky. Usually, I think the Cultural heritage belongs to the countries from where the artifacts were taken, so that’s where the artifacts should be returned to. Otherwise, How do you decide who to give an artifact to? Most inhabitants of central America share Mayan ancestry, and they no longer follow the maya religion.

    I guess it’s a case to case basis. I am sure the rare cases in which there is a dispute it should be left upto the countries or institutions that claim the artifact to arbitrate.
