So… what do we mean with ‘redeveloped from the ground up’ ?
One of the things we did was to polish our #pixelart gfx by simplifying textures and removing things like pillow shading i.a.

…what do you think?

the recording was made around spring 2021, since then some of details seen here have changed…

screen recording from a test play session a while back… a little camp beside a coppre geode.

Back then we were testing the wall gfx, the cursor (not working as intended), and the object interaction indicators.

Researchers estimate that if the top 1% of Americans paid the full amount of taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion a year.

That’s just UNPAID taxes. Not new or higher taxes.

How about we make them pay their fair share and use the money to invest in the American people?

PepsiCo raised prices by 17%. Their profits went up by more than 20%.

Chipotle raised prices by nearly 15%. Their profits went up by nearly 26%.

See the pattern? Corporations are raising prices under the cover of inflation, after their inflation-related costs have been covered.

.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.

You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.

If the rail industry can afford to spend $25.5 billion this year to buy back its own stock and hand out huge dividends to its wealthy shareholders, please do not tell me it cannot afford to guarantee paid sick days to its workers and provide them with a decent quality of life.

@Theholisticpsyc are any families that are not dysfunctional ?
what is your working definition of functional/normal ?
btw. does "normal" even exist ?
XD

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Billionaires like Elon Musk shouldn't be allowed to avoid taxes by using their massive wealth as collateral for bank loans -- especially because they often live off those loans as if they were income!

This is why we need a wealth tax.

I just saw this example of dynamic cycling of color palettes by @effectgames

[Alejo @swonn_]

@nonamenosocks very nice music !!
and love your style and palette :)

[Alejo @swonn_]

@nonamenosocks @VerzatileDev Aseprite is great for drawing n animations, also has many capabilities for creating tile-sets.

PS is kind of a pain for animating frames… depending on the canvas size and amount of layers, animation becomes impossible in PS XD

@ibogost just a quick Q…
do everyone here own VR sets?

among u who was an early adopter ?
(in these last oculus era of the past 10y)

[Alejo @swonn_]

@mikeBithell @ibogost that is an intriguing observation.
maybe that was the mainstream trial by fire… that VR didn’t pass XD

@PaulJMeighan @katiedimartin ohh languages do die over time… or more like, they are forcibly extinguished along with their encompassing culture…

@RBReich yep, oligarchs having control of mass media is detrimental for democracy.

But aren’t taking control, they’ve always had it… “they” either were behind their creation, or bought them when profitable.

A healthy media education ought to include Prof. Chomsky’s media analysis.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Reminder: inflation isn’t being driven by government spending. It’s being driven by a handful of giant corporations who are jacking up prices and raking in record profits.

[Alejo @swonn_]

so… assault/ high capacity weapons, were banned once before and guess what…

how come the ban ended/expired?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The white supremacist violence we are witnessing is not disconnected from the books bans sweeping the country, the engineered panic over critical race theory, and the coordinated assault on voting rights.

White supremacy takes many forms.

[Alejo @swonn_]

indeed a deceitful opportunist… that loves big whitewashing splashes

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Does anyone else find it interesting that Elon Musk claims Democrats are the party of “division and hate” when Republicans are banning abortions, launching legislative attacks against trans people, and mainstreaming the white supremacist "great replacement theory"?
