the veilguard codex entries are truly such a fucked up collectible. this whole time i thought i was the one who fucked up when i still only had 80 something percent by the end of the game, but no. the game is just fully counting impossible to collect cut content in that percentage.

Leon if he had a decent sleep schedule

i caved and got dbh for my pc (despite already having it for my console) and honestly it's nice to be able to have have my monitor so close to me and be able to really just stare at all the details in the gallery (i may have spent an obscene amount of time staring at each character model)

here's some details i noticed about connor's model

firstly, wtf is going on with his shoes. like does it have laces???? is it just a slip-on??? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE TOPS OF THE SHOES LOOK LIKE. also why are his jeans unhemmed?????

at the bottom of his jacket there's the two little dark grey rectangles that honestly i never really noticed and i don't think i've ever included it in my art bc my brain just erases them from my brain. it's such a random design choice and i can't decide if i hate them or not.

also why tf does he have two random button holes on the front of his jacket??? his jacket doesn't have buttons???? i cannot fathom why these exist or what their purpose is

never really took the time to analyze connor's jacket so closely and i love the detail of the different materials on his jacket. like the tessellated triangle motif throughout his jacket clearly being some sort of synthetic material compared to the cotton/wool fibers

also i love the seam detail on his sleeve? like i love how it's not just one straight line but adds more shape and design to his cuff.

i love the texture on the top back half of connor's jacket. it reminds me of carpet or those really textured couches. it's like some type of corduroy likely or something. i wanna touch it. also the cyberlife branding right under the ANDROID text how did i never notice that??

if you look at the inner lining of his white collar, it has a darker liner on the inside. i don't think you typically see that on white button-ups???

lastly LOOK AT HIS NECK MOLES. HE'S GOT SO MANY LITTLE NECK MOLES. and after extensive zooming in and out and looking at it from all angles, i have determined that he has a little tiny mole on the back of his right ear on the rim. idk if you can see it in these screenies BUT IT'S THERE I SWEAR TO YOU. he's also got the little divot some ppl have on their ears near the top of his ear.

anyway, uhm, yeah i totally haven't spent more time staring at the character models than i have spent playing the actual game

i was also staring at kara's and markus' models and might post my thoughts observations on those at another time. but for now we got connor.

Brazil's Supreme Court strengthens control over gold trade and takes a crucial step towards Amazon conservation

Justices overturn the presumption of good faith in the purchase and sale of gold in Brazil

In a landmark decision, the majority of the justices of the Brazilian Supreme Court ruled the presumption of good faith in the purchase and sale of gold in Brazil unconstitutional. This decision marks a crucial step forward in curbing illegal mining, especially in the Amazon, where the activity has caused devastating environmental impacts and violated the rights of indigenous and riverside communities, even reaching cities through the contamination of fish that spread across the region.

The court's decision rectifies a serious distortion in current legislation, which allowed buyers of the metal, such as Securities and Exchange Commissions, to accept only the miner's self-declaration regarding the origin of the gold, absolving them of any liability if the extraction was illegal. The presumption of good faith in the gold chain had been used as a legal loophole to legitimise the sale of gold extracted through criminal means, including gold taken from Indigenous Lands and Protected Areas. The ruling’s unconstitutionality and the subsequent ban on using this loophole strengthens oversight, protects communities affected by illegal mining, and reduces the funding of criminal networks exploiting this market.

The presumption of good faith had already been suspended by an injunction issued by Justice Gilmar Mendes in April 2023. Now, with the final decision, Brazil is taking a decisive step forward in combating environmental degradation caused by illegal mining, while also preventing criminal organisations from continuing to profit from the unlawful exploitation of these areas.

people complain about long-term settlements in fallout being too ramshackle, and basically looking like they were just built despite the fact that the nuclear apocalypse happened 200 years ago. "people should be building proper, long-term structures and not just building shacks out of rubble at this point" is the argument i hear, applied to places like the new vegas strip or diamond city in fallout 4.

and i don't 100% disagree, but i do feel like this logic assumes that the bombs dropping 200 years ago is the only disruptive thing that's happened in these places? "the wasteland is a living place, people should be rebuilding and not just living in rubble" <- yes, but the wasteland is also a living place filled with constant power struggles and warring factions and regime changes. maybe that city isn't what they managed to build in the last 200 years since the bombs dropped, maybe it's what they managed to build in the last 30 years since the last time they got attacked by another place and almost wiped out.

it just doesn't seem that unrealistic to me, is all, especially if you've been to areas that have been afflicted by poverty and scarcity for hundreds and years and seen that these sorts of conditions do actually exist. humans persist under all sorts of harsh circumstances.

ETA: this post got a lot more attention than i expected, and people are taking it as some bethesda fallout vs non-bethesda fallout thing, which i don't get because i think all of the games are guilty of the "people living in 200 year rubble" thing that gets criticized so much. as i mentioned in the tags, this post was inspired by a cleanup mod for new vegas. and to be clear, i'm not saying that all the games necessarily execute this concept well, but it does make sense as a concept and isn't the gaping plothole a lot of people take it to be. like, look up what slums in the poorest countries in the world look like. imagine what what would happen to social norms in a world where everything blew up and you had to start over with practically no resources and no central government.
