There are two parallel worlds.

The world our leaders live in, where economic growth is the solution to all society's problems.

And the real world, where chasing endless growth means there's now a 50% chance we'll surge past 1.5C by 2027 on our way to imminent societal collapse.

What’s worse for our mental health, wearing masks or knowing that 90% of everyone around you doesn’t care if you die.

I propose we start saying "bigot whistle" instead of "dog whistle" because 1) dogs are great and don't deserve to be associated with this and 2) people can't hear dog whistles, but everyone can hear a bigot whistle clear as day.

I further propose the noise at the 7-second mark of this video be the official bigot whistle sound that accompanies any such bigot whistling: https://youtu.be/htTWAMZw6Sk?t=7

this is just absolutely perfect:

Been quiet lately but have been making good progress. With Unity workflow clicking for me, I've been able to speed forward. I have a data workflow that allows me to define a bunch of game data in google spreadsheets and then export to json for direct import into the game which is going to make tweaking and iteration far quicker. I am also close to being done the first game loop.

I had a Unity epiphany tonight with workflow, and finally started to understand the benefit of building components instead of just C# classes and running all the logic separate.

I hooked up resources to the save data and UI. Which is a minor piece but now that I can visually track what will be the core backbone of contracts, it's feeling more concrete. Also getting a lot more familiar with the overall Unity workflow.

Managed to get the framework for Actions and Turns sorted out, so now I have the basis to start implementing some game loops.

It turns out using mind-mapping software (I am using Mindmup) to generate free-form ideas, and then feeding them into flowcharts (using DrawIO) has been absolutely wonderful for helping crystalize design ideas, which I'm then feeding into a clear design doc (Google Docs)

My entire flow works via google drive, and it's surprisingly effective.
