Them's Fightin' Words
Chuck Salamone
The cherry-on-top is Chuck Salamone's interpretation of this alien, and yet familiar realm with brain-melting and incredibly well paced music. It fits perfectly with the themes of dread and hope, and a little taste can be tried with this, Hylics 2 battle theme. Enjoy while tendering meat and sipping water from your paper cup.
When I decided to move on with my life, I promised myself that I would leave everything behind. Little by little I did. I did everything, except one thing. I suppose there are things that define you, things that stay in the back of your mind, things like an unattended radio controlled by its listeners, which can be accessed from anywhere in the world and from as many devices as possible. The project of my life continues, now from a Raspberry Pi, in the context of a pandemic, it is my intention to unite people through music. Wish me luck.

As you may or may not know, I'm a fellow Tenno (MR27 atm). Warframe turned out to be the game I was craving for. It's free, it's consumer-friendly (you can get all the gameplay stuff just by playing, that implies some grind. And I can support the developers…
Tencent has bought out Leyou, owner of Digital Extremes, developers of Warframe. The whole process have been slow, and honestly, painful to witness, as the community is quietly being ripped apart by this development. As jointingly stated in this document, dated Sept. 8th, transaction is not finished, but they are executing the steps required by law to finalize the takeover.
With the incredibly massive potential Warframe had in the past, I feel extremely dissapointed at DE null management of their own project. I see others developers burning millions and thrashing their games with microtransactions, subscriptions and season passes just for the sake of milking players dry. But Warframe approach was different, making players appreciate the freely available content, with a monetization model built in such a way, it encouraged wise spending.
As the ambition and the scope of the game grew, so the need of funding, which made DE took the tough decision of being bought by Leyou back in 2014. From this point, slowly but surely, Warframe underwent a stealthy culture change, refactoring mechanics, slowing progress, and adding unbereable grind into the game. Almost all changes by themselves seemed appropiate and mostly harmless at the time, but the bigger picture said otherwise. DE desperately needed their players spend more time in Warframe, so that way they can introduce more opportunities to monetize. All development efforts were put on making the game prettier, flashier and available in as many devices as possible, shoving in content and leaving quality-of-life improvements and bug-fixing at the last place.
The crowning moment of this whole mess was by the end of 2019, when at The Game Awards was announced the biggest update yet: Empyrean, released that very night. A brand new game mode buggy as hell, that still to this date is bearably enjoyable. Before that, the Kuva Lich system promised an ever-evolving and challenging mode where you can create and try to defeat a nemesis of your own; it ended being another trivial and predictable chore. Then, after Empyrean, Scarlet Spear, at early 2020, whose changes in the underlying mechanics had this strong message: "We want to make this game mode more slower and grindier that everything else, no matter your gear setup is. We will even go as far as nerfing whatever makes the mode easier, no matter if this affects everyone else who decided not to engage in this mode." A highly praised big quality-of-life update went before that, but the uproar for these massive flops, silenced everything else.
But the worst offender by far is the community management, with those awful damage control attempts, trying to twist and turn the narrative, so that way new players can still be enticed by the game, and by the time they realize how jury-rigged it really is, they're already hooked, wishing, as everyone (myself included) did, that everything will be fixed in the future. DE is one of the few developers you can have direct contact with, but the over-the-years more strong dismissal of feedback, the denial of a meta, the constant changes (mostly nerfs) of whatever becomes popular "because it harms variety", and their passive-aggresive behavior during devstreams and on social media, have created the primal soup on which the community's toxic environment survives. Just to be crystal clear, I'm not saying every member of the community is a sac of waste ready to burst at the slightest touch, but the few ones the community has sheltered are so toxicant, all good will dissolves, and even worse, those few who have decide to champion serious, fact-checked and respectful feedback are often confused with the first ones. The devs may say otherwise, but it's a consensus among veterans is that all feedback is considered negative internally. Also, this is not the works of one individual dev, but this is a culture inside DE, because it makes them focus on releasing new content, and not waste precious time fixing things.

At the end, Digital Extremes has become yet another AAA developer, where floor staff cannot do much under constant crunch, and their rotten insides will be, in time, properly exposed. In the meantime, I cannot do much but share my insight and thoughts about this whole debacle. Thank you for your time.

Denis Villeneuve's Dune has been delayed until Oct 1st, 2021, but at least we can enjoy this aperitif from the trailer. Did you know that Zimmer supervised a 32-person choir via video call, where choir members gathered in groups of four over eight separate sessions in Santa Monica at Zimmer's Remote Control studio while Zimmer conducted from home?

Last night I was in that state of drowsiness before bed. It was in that moment I decided to put together this piece. I guess it was a nice birthday present to make Vinny chuckle.
It still needs a lot of work, but I can finally publish a working version of the player for the project, available at https://breadmaker.gitlab.io/ctm-player/
Last Sunday I witnessed history, as Chile finally decided to repeal the old dictatorial constitution and lay the foundations for the drafting of a new one with the participation of all its citizens.
The road will not be easy and the old banners will do everything in their power to stop the inevitable, but the hope of the people to defeat years of injustice and inequality is greater, as the massive citizen participation has shown.
Personally, I will do my best to help with the humble knowledge that I have acquired over time, with which I can contribute to make my country a better place for everyone.

I have been researching how to integrate flask with uwsgi and nginx. I have read and seen many tutorials, but none seemed to have the confidence to explain what to do, also, each one has a different approach, probably because it is the way they learned and that was enough for them.
Everything was going from bad to worse until, in the middle of rummaging, I found gold. Todd Birchard nails it so hard I had to buy him a hammer (not exactly, but you get what I mean).
Thanks, Todd https://hackersandslackers.com/deploy-flask-uwsgi-nginx/

Two months later, I have rebuilt all the necessary foundations of the project, and I'm currently hard at work rebooting development on the "native" app for browsers. You can check the progress (and make suggestions or, even better, contributions to the code) in the Gitlab repositories. Expect the big announcement before the end of the year.

Exactly 10 years ago, Tron: Legacy premiered over here. Definitely, an instant modern sci-fi cult classic. But not because of the protagonist's uncomfortable facial expressions, nor because of the easy-to-digest script, nor even because of the spectacular digital effects (impressive even by today's standards), but because of Daft Punk. Decades of experience in the search for new sounds, researching, discovering, amalgamating the analog with the digital, finally led them to compose a score along with a soundtrack that ages like the best French wine. Happy Anniversary!
From failed publicity stunt to cult classic through the power of the Internet, Pepsi Man is one of the most obscure memes in videogames. That doesn't prevent it from being enjoyed anyway. Happy Friday! https://youtu.be/fc9lcCw91YE

Guardian of Power (With Choir)
Grégoire Lourme
I cannot believe how far Grégoire Lourme has come after following him for 8 years now. His mastering of the Epic Cinematic Orchestra genre only gets better every time. His influences should be noticeable from the get go, just like his hype style. Some may found his writing cheesy and too focused on percussion. I say: "Just give this man some more years to perfect his craft and you will have a potential big movie soundtrack composer." In the meantime, you should check his other work and consider getting a license for some of his great music for your trailer. https://www.jamendo.com/album/200402/guardian-of-power
