Growing up, I witness family members denying life-saving care on religious grounds, while on the same branch of the family another person died because they could not afford the exams and treatment (we only learned after the death).
I wish we could keep ignorance away from public funded institutions (and private too) and provide people with the care they need with love and respect.
Scott Pilgrim EX Beat'em up RPG in the universe of Scott Pilgrim, it is a well-made game even if you don't know that IP.
Wax Heads You work in a record store matching LPs to customers and helping local bands.
Phonopolis Beautifully-made point & click adventure(cardboard style), with well-made puzzles.
Pluto I went for the art, but really liked the mechanics to cast spells. You can put an element on each of your fingers that matches the pattern of a spell card. If a spell ends in water, and another starts with water you can chain them to use fewer fingers. There is a bunch of mechanics going on to modify the behaviour of your fingers, like rings, power ups, or enemy curses.
Jackal is good, I recommend if you like games like Hotline Miami. It is similar but more forgiving, and you have some weird powers. (There is a button "download demo" on the right panel).
I need to give the others a try, I am curious about Shadows of the Afterland.
I noticed that most people I bump into that says they are not into politics, they mean partisan politics. Often from places where they are disenfranchised about their civics.
But if you bring up "holly shit, did you see the price of milk is 7CAD?". They will be more than happy to provided their cents on why and think about solutions.
It will be really hard to be friends again when at least 70 millions USA citizens voted for this in 3 different occasions. And only a few did a thing to prevent it.
Going back to USA would be like a spouse who keeps going back to an abusive partner.
I hope we improve our friendship with the rest of the world for some peace of mind.
candidacy are engaging in Rwandan genocide denialism,
and
NDP national president Lucy Watson said in a statement that candidates in the leadership race need to uphold values of integrity, honesty and respect for human rights.
Seems like NDP is doing a good job then.
Should the candidates try for UCP instead? Their values seem to be aligned with some branches of that party.
Early 2010s I asked the company I worked for to approve some free game engines to be installed. The legal department returned a big no with pages of why Unity should not be allowed in the premises. We proceeded with Unreal, Blender and eventually Godot as tools any employee could install.
Unity was bad back them, it is just that people did not read the agreements and tech sheet. Their new leadership just made that more apparent.
They gave us a scare over the years, being sold around to companies that are famous for enshittifying platforms.
Epic sold the company when people unionized, and the next did a trick to not recognized the union and "hire" half of the staff (contrary to fire half of them).
The platform is not what has been 5 years ago, but it is still my favourite place to get music around.
Brazil (R$ right?) used to have a lot of programs to send students to foreign countries, but around 10 years ago the numbers dwindled.
I don't see many Brazilian undergrads anymore, some grads, but mostly post-docs.
If you shared your field and education level, I could point you to a more precise direction.
But for education, your best bets are:
Check the exchange programs with your current university, they have partnership with other universities around the world and you probably can pay cheaper with local currency.
The higher your degree, it is easier to come. Despite what we see on the news about people denying science, and we are losing a bunch of researches to the EU, it is still better to find high education positions here than undergrad or lower. Also, you might be able to get paid, either as TA, researcher or just apply for a coop. That might offset your costs a bit.
Payment here is different, you pay by period X number of curses (Fall term, Winter Term, Spring/Summer) - some places in Europe it would be called semester) not by year, so that 20.000 CAD a year would be split in at least 2 periods. The university puts that so it is easier for you to plan your life. There is no monthly instalments payment like in some countries, but students can apply for awards, support, loans, etc... Check your university of choice for this information.
As others said, you need to take in account other costs too, from the visa process (a student visa will take longer and be pricier than a visitors visa), to housing and food. Some universities offer housing and food at a smaller cost than doing it all by yourself.
From your other comment in the thread, it sounds like you just want to leave the country for a while to experience life somewhere else.
Commonwealth countries and some places in Europe offer an easy to get work visa for under 30 years old. Check if you qualify for those. Usually, those visas lasts for a year, and you can renew if you meet some criteria.
While writing the book, I realized that the core constraints of the universe described in the text
Did you write the text? Why are you talking about the text like you are reading it for the first time? It might be when you "write" +200 pages in 2 weeks.
I suspect it's actually a Game Engine specification.
No, it is not. Your text is a manifesto, even if you eventually figure out physics, it is still not what you need to build a physics simulation engine or the physics abstraction for a game engine. Your text helps to achieve neither.
Please stop preying on kids for free labour and to spread whatever your goals are.
Without even counting the red flags of the account date, both here and GitHub, that you cannot find the author anywhere, that OP managed to write +200 pages of "physics" in 2 weeks (check changelogs, it went from 211 pages to whatever op is claiming now). The whole thing reads like LLM assisted manifesto.
I am not joking, people do not need to read the entire thing to see that is just dropping real names (physics, tech) without any support to their claims. And it is just claims as an absolute, there is no proof, logic, nothing.
I guess they would get a lot more goodwill if they were upfront about writing fiction, or some TempleOS kind of thing.
They are using this "game engine" excuse just to prey on kids.
First time I heard of Konek, I have been using Interact for a while but did not know they had this service.
As far as I am aware, a bunch of countries created something similar to get rid of American payment systems, like UPI in India.
My favourite so far is the Brazilian Pix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pix_(payment_system), becoming the most used payment system in the country in the past few years. Not only because it is technically sound, but it also managed to get the Americans pissed. Credit card and tech lobbies pressuring the American government to do something about it. Meta tried to release a payment system in Brazil that failed miserable because of Pix.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I played the game and Replaced might be the best thing I played this Next Fest so far. I had to find this post back just to thank you.
