I have a lot of ideas when it comes to worldbuilding. I have always been a fan of science fantasy (combining both tropes from sci-fi and fantasy), but I feel like most works haven't embraced both genres to their fullest potential. The original Phantasy Star series is probably the closest because they weren't afraid to actually call magic "magic" instead of "the force" like in Star Wars.

I plan on using these ideas for my dream game (or series), but I'm posting these worldbuilding concepts anyway just in case I never get to creating the game, and I just don't care if other people use these ideas. They most likely have already been done before (in fact I know some of these ideas have been done before). I'm using AI to generate these concepts because I suck at drawing.

Anyway let's begin. First off, I think alien worlds should combine both ancient technology, futuristic technology, and everything in between. Technological progress isn't a linear path, so you shouldn't assume that aliens go through the same technological progression as we do. They might be flying interstellar ships, but they might also still be wielding swords and bows. So you can have spaceships flying over medieval style villages or even mudhuts. Star Wars has basically already popularized this, so this should be a no-brainer, but you can always take it a step further. For example, replace lightsabers with steel swords while still having space travel.

I plan of mostly talking about gamedev stuff on it though. I want a more laid-back experience.

This goes with what I said earlier, every gamedev community (outside of /agdg/ threads) is pozzed. You will be ostracized unless you fully subscribe to SJW ideology. It's why even in the indie scene, it's hard to find non-pozzed game developers. You even have to request an account (while providing links to other sites and profiles for manual approval) just to be on this instance.

Shower Thought: SUVs were invented because American car companies wanted to keep making body-on-frame V8 cars, AND have tariff protection by registering them as trucks.

I just realized that Drew DeVault gave tech CEOs another excuse to hire only H1B workers.

So people are saying that Klaus Schwab's replacement is even worse. I obviously don't think he's any better and he could be worse, but people are pointing out that he used to work at Nestle and openly said that water should be a commodity and not a human right.

Thing is, that is already the case right now. Unless you have access to a well or a rain bucket or are willing to drink water straight from a pond or river, you are already paying for water either in the form of a water bill or just straight up paying for water bottles.

It is literally impossible to monopolize water even with an artificial monopoly. Even if they somehow make rain collecting and wells illegal worldwide, I bet their will be mass disobedience. The only way they could get away with it is probably through geoengineering and making it rain in certain locations, but that can severely back fire on them.

Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal is a hilarious book even though the topic is deadly serious. It's an in your face rational rebuttal to all of the STUPIDEST things government and agribusinesses do to screw up farming and the food supply: amazon.com/Everything-Want-Do- #ad
