why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

[ivy-michaels]

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

[ivy-michaels]

What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.

How did I forget this.

This is the "next" thing I had in mind when I was working on the squire's plate redo. And the dark witch outfit! This outfit is based on the Goliath beetle. I came across one when I was in Spain last winter, in the Zamora ethnographic museum. Why an African beetle is in a spanish ethnographic museum remains a mystery to me. But I digress.

I was immediately enchanted. I wanted to make a design that captured the essence of the creature: black and white when resting, and revealing the copper wings when in flight. From the get-go I knew I wanted to do a high fantasy styled outfit, with motifs from art nouveau and quite some visual noise. When I came across this bug, back in January, I didn't find myself capable enough to actually accomplish this design. So I worked on other things that were still on the backburner. The dark witch came first, then the squire's plate.

And here it is. The Garment of the Goliath. The cloak moves in movement, revealing the flame-painted copper armor underneath. The pattern of the beetle is reflected on the cape and tabard. The design language is supposed to be somewhat organic and unconventional. I also tried straying away from generally accepted high-fantasy designs, as you get a lot of that when you're doing elvish stuff or working with art nouveau motifs. It really was a bit of a test to see how well I could pull of a more complicated design like this. And I think I succeeded. I'm really happy with the way this thing turned out. All elements of the design, compared to older outfits, look better. The pouch is big step up compared to the squire's. The coin bag's textures look splendid, and I'm also super happy with the way the cuisse turned out. Lots of relief, lots of detail. There's this one shape/motif that's constantly being repeated across the entire armor. It's in the pauldrons, chestplate, vambraces, cuisses, and the boots. Can you spot it?

I did cut some corners during texturing, which is a bit of shame. These are learning opportunities. For example, the belt is a bit bland. When I'm striving to be holistic in my design, I need to pull it all the way through. For my next design, I'm intending to do just that. And I want to get that shit going from the concept stage onwards.

What I also want to do is to continue to be inspired by nature. So for my next project, I will make something as inspired by the American hummingbird. Of course it'll be armor. This time I'll try for a contrasting design to this goliath outfit. Colourful, but not demanding. Stay tuned.

Nina Simone didn’t write songs to make people comfortable. She challenged people to think about power, freedom, identity, and the stories societies tell themselves. This quote is one of her most discussed because it forces a difficult question: Who benefits when people are taught to accept injustice today in exchange for promises tomorrow? Whether you view it through the lens of race, economics, politics, religion, or history, the quote speaks to a larger idea. People often have the power to shape their own reality, yet systems can convince them to wait, settle, or believe their circumstances cannot change. That’s why Nina Simone’s words still spark debate decades later. Some hear a criticism of oppression. Others hear a warning about dependency. Others hear a call for self-determination. What makes the quote powerful is that it forces you to decide what it means for yourself. The conversation isn’t really about heaven. It’s about who controls the future and who gets told to wait for it.

GRACIAS GENIA 🫶🏽

One of my favorite facts about the history of Malvinas Islands is that a group of indigenous Charrua people led by a Gaucho (think badass, brown cowboys with leather whips instead of firearms) tried to take back the islands from the English in 1833... and succeeded.

They captured everyone they didn't kill and took down the British flags. Then, English reinforcements arrived and captured them.

But the funny thing is: when el Gaucho Rivero and the Charruas were taken to England to be prosecuted, the court determined they were innocent, since the crimes they'd committed happened outside of British jurisdiction. So they were set free and returned safely to their homeland.

Of course, the Islands are still occupied by the English and we lost the actual war in 1982, but it's always worth remembering just how long we've been trying to reclaim territory that was ours hundreds of years before the British claimed it.
