“Space Pyramid: Starbeard”

“A Low Poly Environment that was created for the indie game “Starbeard”.  In the world of Star Beard, everything is big to a gnome and we want players to get a sense of the gnome character's point of view.  So things like cats that are normally cute and fury... are like giants to them. Inspired by the ancient Pyramids and Sphinx statues.”

C for 'Containment' - Believing Lies & the Perception of Truth

Hi Everyone,

The C Word blog will start with a story with C for 'Containment';

Believing Lies & the Perception of Truth

Truth and Lie are relaxing by the river. Lie says to Truth 'Why don't we take a bath together?' Truth agrees and they both go for a dip in the water. When Truth looks back he realises Lie has leapt out of the water and taken all of Truths clothes with him.

Mortified Truth climbs out of the river wondering how to get home? Lie had taken all of his possessions! Truth covers up its modesty with leaves and whatever it can find. Ducking and diving and avoiding people, Truth walks home confused as to what just happened.

Truth comes home to realise the door is locked and Truth can't get in. Truth peers into the window and horrified, sees Lie in the house on truths computer, in Truths clothes, with Truths items, eating Truths food.

Truth bangs on the door and Lie answers, looking at Truth holding a glass in its hand.

Truth yells 'Lie!! What are you doing? You are in my house, wearing my clothes, you are on my computer with my work, you are eating my food. Why Lie??'

Lie looks at him. 'Who's going to believe you?'

Lie turns to a passer by, ' Excuse me, This naked fellow is saying this house is his. Who's house is this? '

The passer by looked at Lie and says 'Well it must be yours'.

Lie asks ' Why?'

The passer-by says' Well, you are wearing fancy clothes, you are standing in the doorway holding the glass. I perceive you to be telling the truth.'

I have read two examples of this story online. Iyanla Vanzant discusses this in a youtube video; why 'we always believe lies before the naked truth' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaAUvDd2yFQ) and Kishore Shintre in his Linkedin article 'World prefers lies to naked truth' (www.linkedin.com/pulse/world-prefers-lies-naked-truth-kishore-shintre).

How much of social media and news journalism today represents this society; watching different forms of lie running around the world as truth? Which communities does this suit and how much truth filters into media and tv entertainment in a post covid world? Does media justify a system that shames and profits from the naked truth; trying to suppress it, profiting from creating shame and above all; contain and control?

This premise is so important to current online interaction and to us as a society. The C word came to exist as a counter opposite to this. A media which has insights, constantly learning from mistakes and the original source of many innovative ideas and discussions happening online today.

I hope we will provide the real innovation and excitement that you are all looking for.

Love Hina x
