Dei uma bela risada, porque é algo sintomático desse governo desleixado, perdulário e frouxo.

A zé-ninguém da Primeira Dama, um cargo decorativo possibilitado pelo poder patriarcal do marido, pediu que uma agência reguladora suspendesse uma rede social com base num caso que ela ouviu falar, e só depois foi averiguado que a live ocorreu no Instagram...

É tudo muito patético. O nível da afobação em censurar as pessoas e as redes sociais é equivalente à ineficiência em resolver verdadeiros problemas, como a criminalidade nas ruas, o endividamento público, a alta nos preços dos produtos, a incapacidade de articular com o Congresso, a dependência de medidas ad hoc no Supremo, a falta de confiança na nossa soberania etc... Tudo o que é funciona, aparentemente, é o palanque que essa inútil aí usa para lutar contra moinhos de vento como o "discurso redpill" e as "lives no discord", além de torrar mais alguns milhões no cartão corporativo colocado novamente em sigilo...

Eu não esperava grande coisa do governo Lula 3 porque eu sei o histórico do PT, mas estão avacalhando num nível que o grotesco se transmuta no patético porque não resta nada a não ser rir.

A explicação da ANPD do porquê suspendeu o recurso de videoconferência do Discord vai exatamente na linha do que suspeitei: criminaliza a criptografia como um direito do cidadão.

Aqui na prática a agência está dizendo:

"Não importa se a criptografia fim a fim impede que você como plataforma leia, monitore e bloqueie videoconferência entre usuários do seu produto baseado no conteúdo da conversa. Dê seus pulos. Te vira. Dê um jeito de fazer o monitoramento."

Não enxergo meio termo. Para que o carteiro saiba se está transportando uma mensagem criminosa, ele precisa abrir o envelope e ler a carta.

Que precedente isso gera?

From my perspective, Miyazaki is a rather unique, yet extremely serious game developer.

His career did not begin in the game industry. In fact, he didn’t become a game developer until he was almost thirty years old.

Even among developers of my generation (those of us born in the 1970s), I think it’s remarkable that someone who wasn’t even a game developer during the dawn of the polygon era eventually became one of Japan’s most representative game creators. (In other words, compared to the rest of us from the same generation—including myself—his career path is exceptionally unusual. Most notably, unlike many of us, he was not working at one of the major development studios that held a significant technological advantage during the early polygon era. That, more than anything else, is what makes his path so unique.)

Next, regarding my impression of Dark Souls.

People often focus on its difficulty as a game, but I believe Miyazaki’s true creativity shines through in the world he created. (By the way, I personally think Dark Souls has fairly simple action mechanics, and I don’t actually consider it to be an especially difficult game.)

If you look into my own career, you’ll see that I was personally involved with the Dark Souls series and Elden Ring as the General Manager overseeing both production and marketing (Just to clarify, I wasn't part of the development team itself. My involvement was simply as the General Manager of the publisher-side department overseeing production and marketing). From that perspective, I can say that Dark Souls didn’t suddenly become a massive success overnight. It was the result of everything Miyazaki and his team had built up through their previous titles.

Today, he receives offers from all over the world, but when I think back to the days when he and his team were struggling the most, many of those offers seem like they’re coming from people who only know who they are today. Some of them almost feel like complete reversals in attitude. Well, that’s just my personal perspective.

Personally, I had grown tired of people who would simply compare games by saying things like, “That title cost X billion yen to make and sold Y million copies,” and then use nothing but those numbers to judge them against other games. There were so many people who couldn’t appreciate the journey or the growth of the developers themselves. Anyone can look at the current numbers—they’re available to everyone. Whenever I heard those kinds of opinions, I always thought, “That’s exactly what you’d expect from someone who’s never actually developed games.”
What surprised me even more was that, even if people couldn’t properly evaluate that journey, almost nobody even seemed interested in trying to understand the process of how those developers gradually reached where they are today.
(I'm NOT talking about the fan community).

Now, going back to Miyazaki, there are two things about him that have always stayed with me.

The first was back when I was developing Summer Lesson for VR, around the time it was generating a lot of buzz.

One day, he came to try an early build of Summer Lesson along with people from several other game companies.

While everyone else was laughing, chatting, and having fun with it, Miyazaki alone played it with incredible seriousness. Then, after everyone had finished and started discussing their impressions, he remained completely silent, staring intently at the preview monitor, deep in thought.

Everyone became curious and finally asked him, “Miyazaki, what are you thinking about?”

He suddenly smiled and said,

“Oh… I got completely absorbed in thinking about what I would do if I were making this, and what kind of game I’d create.”

What he talked about after that was, in the best possible sense, completely insane.

It was one of those rare moments when I caught a glimpse of what I’d call his “mad scientist” side—his deeply serious, obsessive approach to creativity.

The other thing that left a strong impression on me was that he generally dislikes video interviews (including live streaming).

I once asked him about it by email, and he replied with quite a long explanation. After reading it, I completely understood where he was coming from.

Simply put, he doesn’t like watching himself moving around on video. (Psychologically speaking, it’s actually a bit more complicated than that.)

But there was another reason.

According to him, there are naturally many people in this industry who know games far better than he does. Whenever he listens to those people speak, he realizes that his own understanding is still shallow, and it makes him feel that he’s not yet in a position to be the one talking about games.

I mean… it’s common for well-known developers to say, “I still have a long way to go.”

But whenever someone like him says that, my reaction is always,

“Come on… if you say you’re still not there yet, then the rest of us won’t feel qualified to talk about games at all.” (laugh)

Anyway, that’s one of the reasons why video interviews with Miyazaki are extremely rare. And conversations with him on camera—especially long-form discussions with another developer—are even rarer. They almost don’t exist at all.

By the way, the other game developer in that photo is Masahiro Sakurai.

If you ask me, he’s basically:

“A Saiyan who genuinely believes he’s just another ordinary human.”

Every now and then, when the rest of us are struggling with some problem, he’ll say something that sounds exactly like Goku saying,

“Well… why don’t you just fly?”

And I’ll reply,

“Because we humans can’t use Flight Technique.”

Then he just stares at me with a completely puzzled look.

To put it in terms of Demon Slayer, I’d describe him as:

"Like Muzan Kibutsuji casually showing up at a drinking party where all the Hashira have gathered, genuinely believing he's just another ordinary guest".

That’s the kind of person he is.

People often say that socialists are economically illiterate, but that suggests they just lack education.

The things they say make no economic sense even if you have zero economic education.

When someone points out that under rent control, landlords will have less money with which to upkeep their properties, how could someone unironically think that "but they're legally required to do it anyway" is a legitimate response? How could he reply to "they can't" with "but they have to"?

They're not just uneducated about economics. They are actively resistant to engaging in any economic thought. They selectively pretend that scarcity doesn't exist in order to maintain their preferred political stances.

You can't fix that with education.

Alerta de misantropia: uma ideologia que se apoderou das universidades, das redações e das entranhas da burocracia alega atuar a favor do progresso, quando atua contra a humanidade. É contra o tratamento igual dos seres humanos perante a lei, contra sua liberdade de expressão, contra a prosperidade que resulta da sua liberdade de empreender. Recomendo a todos ficar em casa e estudar mais sobre os benefícios da liberdade para a condição humana.
