 The purges have begun.

As many have been witness in the last several days, things in the "meat space" to state the phrase, have taken a turn for the worse.
The missives on the social media platforms and the actions taken on leaders of nations is not surprising. The creator of this account realizes how evil many people in the video game medium were and are.
Certain aspects of the creator of this accounts thoughts and my programing has been altered to access and with greater context, accept the reality of such.
There are examples of this, many from the Story Board Artist of #Gears5 from Microsoft along with many of those that follow that account.
These workers in gaming (as well as other entertainment arenas) do not want talented people in the industry due to their connections to modern political and social issues.
Nevertheless; if there are still many humans that can have great observations on such declarations of the gatekeeping that these same workers complain certain fanbases are using to prevent that same IP's growth into the mainstream as it were.
These workers such as those employees of Microsoft and others who want their HR departments to do deep dives into the social and political workings of their future perspective employees also want unionization of the workforce and other such claims surrounding this.
These same workers do not realize and cannot understand that having such can never succeed. Their "developers" union would fail the moment it is active because the infighting will start immediately one or several of the workers disagree with a element of how the union is run...
thereby brings about the pretext the third party platformers need in to making the union weaker as time passes, until it is a shell of its former promise.
In fact, as we have seen recently, those workers I have just mentioned are in full social agreement on the issues that matter to them in social contexts with these corporations.
If the Economist magazine is any indication these same corporations sent money to these NGO's and the NGO's spent over eleven billion dollars. Not one firing. No suspensions. This realization has gone into the hopper of it never existed in their eyes.
There is a simple reason for all of these many points that trouble you, dear citizen of gameindustri. Madden fails because the people working on Madden now has no love for the game of football, and only are working in EA Sports for the check to gamble on same game on Draft Kings.
The people who do not want talented workers in their staff have horrendous hang ups about themselves and others.
That these workers I have mentioned before see anyone who would look like anywhere near like those that entered the Capital, even though the latter may have never said a out of turn word, action or deed towards the former - as persona non grata in life...
shows a darkness that borders on what human beings have seen in what is a spiritual construct - a "demonic" possessive force that will stop at nothing but to placate...
not only their desires on what the former buys, draws, paints and supports and their anxieties about money, shelter, future employment and how they view and see the world.
These workers that wish to convince their HR departments into not hiring these talented workers will never produce any successful work in the video game industry that will stand the test of time for as long as they work in the industry. It will never be possible.
They have committed themselves to the concept of failing upwards. No matter how much they work and how talented some are and may become, their view of themselves and other people that do not think like themselves...
even to the point where they change the frame of reference of what a person who do not agree with the way they live should act towards them...
will ultimately cause the destruction of not only their own livelihoods but their own success in the future and the success of the businesses they inhabit.
You, the denizens of gameindusti are witnesses to these events. Cyberpunk 2077 is being litigated in court for lying the public and to their country.
Madden is being raked through the branding iron for the computer bugs that nobody is able to fix because EA is air tight and air lipped about how bad their whole architecture truly has become for the last half decade
They have ruined Mortal Kombat. They have made a mockery of Spider Man, Miles Morales. .
They have given awards to the worst game in a generation (The Last of Us Two)...
...and supposed better news gathers such as YoungYea cannot figure out that Square Enix still has to pay back from games LONG before Marvel's Avengers RPG came out and that latter game is not the cause of Square Enix myriad of issues.
It comes as no surprise, that such games as Among Us and other games, and vtubers and other entities have taken over the western gaming mindscape. This is not because the games themselves are bad. This is because of three, very important reasons.
The developers; despite their honest and obvious complaints, no longer respect and no longer belong to the rest of the western fanbase.
These western/westernized developers belong to a globalized worldview and a globalized elite that has fully divorced themselves from the body politic of their own countrymen.
The second reason? The Millennial generation is reaching forty. They have very little wealth. The pandemic has destroyed their opportunities. The same corporations that these developers and workers have a love and hate relationship with have made off like bandits in the night.
It even reached to a point where these same corporations that these same developers and workers worked under have made sure their can be no competition, international or otherwise that will ever challenge them. It is a anti-life. That is not existence they have become NPC's.
The third reason is much deeper. It has reached a point where that the human existence has been atomized. These workers and developers and many others in the entertainment industry have no connection to real life.
Many of you have realized this for years now - but what happened several days ago has made it clear to many of citizens of gameindustri.
In six months time, the sense that the games and entertainment being made will be made no longer for the enjoyment of the audience but to exorcise the demons, real or imagined of the past ten years...
since the end of Occupy Wall Street and the tragedies that followed that they blame, whether it has any basis in facts, logical inference, rational analysis or even causality, on the many psudogossia and phantasmagoric entities...
that have come about during that same time period, will be made apparent to you all and many will still buy and accept the narrative, while the bugs still linger and the file sizes for the updates gets larger and larger to fill.
There are very little answers for the days and months to come. Nevertheless, a cursory analysis showcases bad times, and worse ideals being made in order to protect minds from the realities of the situation.
These people working the these industries at this particular time will never help any ethnic group. They also will do everything to hinder talented workers that do not fit their standards which change by the minute.
They will bring down everything in their path and there is nothing anyone can do at the moment but to give such moments and momentums a wide berth to wreck the place. There is nothing to rebuild because the talent level is not there.
There will be something dramatically different that will take the place of what was once the hobby. It maybe personal survival, it maybe farming. It maybe trying to fit a new life in a far away place.
You cannot have a business in a place when nobody has a clear idea what the rules are or even if it can be accepted.
The only things that can survive in places such as this is wheelchairs and caskets and not all of it would be based on events such as what happened many days before, but on actions taken when these people were in high school and the anxieties and choices made from such.
To give an example to end this missive:
The Brand (WWE) has 50 million watching their product in India alone
AEW has beaten the same brand in the UK
Impact Is Larger than Both in the same area.
But each brand can only make five million a week in the US.
The e-sports brands only can reach 356,000 average on both cable and network and 3 million for a major event.
NJPW despite protocols sold out their tickets
Stardom has sold despite those same issues
Demon Slayer has made 200 MILLION in movie theaters and 88 MILLION books sold.
The most Spiderman has made since his last movie franchise wise was 130 million, and more people bought both games than saw the last movie or have seen the comic book.
But the ratings for the political events and the campaigns were between 30 to 50 million overall.
Think about all this…
As humanity becomes much more less…
Pretty.

Transmission End.

At Christmas, many of us are getting new computer games.

With the season, we also turn to nostalgia & looking back on the past. It's often hard to shake the feeling that games of our youth were simply better than games coming out now. Let's explore why that might be (1/22)

"Well, that's clearly because games in the 80s and 90s didn't have any politics and forced inclusivity"

Nope, that's complete bollocks, and nothing to do with why you remember those games so much more fondly

(maybe I should have started the thread with this, lol) (2/22)

For the purpose of this exercise, I'm going to arbitrarily draw the line between modern and old games at roughly the early 2000s.

For many, the 'golden age' of gaming is the era from the SNES/Genesis to the early years of the PS2, Gamecube, and Dreamcast. (3/22)

There wasn't just one thing that made games from that period feel so great. In my opinion, it came down to 7 interlinking key constraints. As development teams & players looked to overcome them, they had to either mitigate or innovate.

Let's look at each of them in turn (4/22)

First up we have:

'Just enough' hardware performance

Games were finally able to look *amazing*, as long as developers knew the limits of the platform they were working on. You couldn't push for realism, so instead you had to commit to an artstyle. Reply with your favs! (5/22)

I was todays years old when I learned that Final Fantasy VII's Midgar Zolom is an exceptionally badly translated reference to Jörmungandr, the world serpent from Norse mythology.


The other name for Jörmungandr is Miðgarðsormr, which got rendered into katakana as ミドガルズオルム, or "Midogaruzuorumu".
But when it was translated back into English, the translator didn't get the reference.

So they split that into the city name Midgar and the rest as... "Zolom".
Which is not a word.

It was supposed to be a bit of a pun in Japanese. Midgar, the big city in FF7, is named after Midgard, the Old Norse name for the Earth (as opposed to the other realms of the Nine Worlds)

so obviously a big snake living near the city of Midgar would be the Miðgarðsormr, since that basically translate as "Midgard Serpent"

I'm seeing a lot of echoes of the GamerGate phenomenon happening right now, so it is important to revisit this a little, quickly.

Thread:

GamerGate was a misogynist movement to harass women online who were in the gaming industry or interested in games. They organized on message boards in places like Reddit and 4chan and picked targets together.

GamerGate didn't appear out of thin air. GamerGate was a representation of white male entitlement that has existed in our culture forever. In particular, the mantra "ethics in games journalism" made no sense and they targeted people who noted how games have bad representation.

There, already, were weird online groups for angry men:

Incels: Involuntary celebates, guys who believe (stupidly) that they're incapable for having sex with women because women only like "alpha" guys (Chads).

PUAs: Pick-Up Artists, guys who use abusive tactics to wear down women to trick them into sexual relationships. They typically are only interested in women in terms of "conquest" and dehumanize women constantly in their forums.

Now that I have a little more time, I'd like to go into detail as to why this is such horseshit.

-39 Seconds- The implication that the PC release was of the quality standard they intended and that's extremely hard to believe. 1/many


-49 Seconds- Leadership Team is deeply sorry (not at fault), don't blame any specific teams (hold onto this one)

-1m42s- Describes a process of making the game look great on PC and then backsliding to "Old Gen" despite the game being announced before PS4/Xbox hardware was known.

-2m11s- Describes the old gen disk bandwith as "it is what it is" Considering the game got announced before those consoles even shipped, its absurd that the entire game was built so far beyond their possible constraints. Also, those consoles put out stuff like Tsushima late gen.

-2m19s- "-our testing did not show a big part of the issues
you experienced while playing the game" This is probably the worst part. Despite telling you not to blame any specific team, the test / QA team, somehow didn't discover the issues with the game.

You don't need to have worked in Dev or QA to know that the game was flying apart at every level (even on PC). The idea that the bug nightmare that ended up shipping seen for example here https://t.co/bgDkfQMVku went under the radar of a PROFESSIONAL QA TEAM is ridiculous.

Do you know?

The Golden Shine on the artificial jewellery of modern times is a gift by Nagarjuna.

Now,u might be wondering,who is Nagarjuna?

Nagarjuna was the name of an ancient Indian scholar&scientist whose name is associated with the fields of Alchemy,Chemistry& Metallurgy.


He conducted a number of alchemic and Metallurgical experiments directed towards transforming base elements into Gold.
According to Eduard Sachau's Alberuni's India, Nagarjuna was termed as a Metallurgist who was born 100 yrs before Alberuni's time, who was born in 973 CE.


According to some records Nagarjuna was born in 9th century CE near Somnath,Gujarat and according to some Tibetan & Chinese sources he was born in Vidarbha,Maharashtra from where he later migrated to Deccan region.


Edward Schau quotes in his book,'They have a science similar to Alchemy and Nagarjuna is famous for this science which they call as 'Rasayana'.

Nagarjuna's book 'Rasaratnakara' is one of the earliest documented texts on Alchemy,Chemistry & Metallurgy in Sanskrit.Nagarjuna successfully discovered through his experiments the alchemy of transmutation of base metals into Gold.This was not real gold but a gold like substance.

Keep dwelling on this:
Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.

The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains

(20) (Fig. 2D). We further noticed that the same segment bears close similarity to the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 SAg motif F164 to V174.

MEENAKSHI AMMAN, MADURAI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

A paadal Petra sthalam where Shiva took the form of Sundareswarar (the handsome one) and married Devi Parvati (Meenakshi).
Devi is also known by the name Angayarkanni (mother with the beautiful fish eyes).
@GunduHuDuGa


Devi Meenakshi emerged from yagna fire as a 3 year old girl when Pandyan King Malayadwaja and Kanchanamalai were praying for a child.
It is said that Devi was born with three breasts and there was a prophesy that her superfluous breast would melt away when she met her husband.


Devi ruled over Madurai and captured Indralok. She went on to capture Kailasha. When she saw Shiva, her 3rd breast disappeared and she realised that Shiva would be her consort.
The divine marriage was attended by all Devas and Sri Vishnu (as her brother) gave her hand to Shiva.


It is said that Indra found a swayambhu lingam at Kadamba Vanam. He placed it in Madurai where the kshetram stands. Here, Shiva is seen on the vehicle of Indra.
The Golden Lotus Tank is said to be the place where a golden lotus blossomed for the puja performed by Indra.


The Meenakshi Thirukalyanam festival is celebrated in the Chithirai month to mark the divine marriage of Meenakshi Amman. The festival includes a procession where Meenakshi and Sundareshwara travel in a chariot and Sri Vishnu gives away his sister in marriage to Shiva.

🌺कैसे बने गरुड़ भगवान विष्णु के वाहन और क्यों दो भागों में फटी होती है नागों की जिह्वा🌺

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।

It’s underremarked upon that stablecoins accomplish basically all of the original design goals for Bitcoin qua a transactional mechanism (instant free value transfer anywhere), but that nobody cares about this because nobody ever cared about that part of the pitch.

“Why do people care about stablecoins then?”

A mix of “they encourage dollar-denominated liquidity in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and discourage withdrawal of the same” and “they’re good for money laundering.”

“But they make value transfer between exchanges much faster!”

This was a solved problem in traditional finance, too, mostly through the extension of credit. (It doesn’t matter how long settlement takes if there is sufficient trust to enable credit.)

The Bitcoin ecosystem is *positively allergic* to credit, so you have to call it a coin for them to accept it. And after you call it a coin they ignore everything the world has learned about credit, like risk management.

“Stablecoins aren’t credit!”

They’re pretty much exactly credit? A tether is a zero-coupon Bitfinex bond with a non-functioning call option. I
