National character is not merely the past. National character is not merely ethnicity. National character is not merely the line "nationality of father" in the birth certificate.
National character can be directly and plainly observed.
I don't see you building national character, for now I only see you advocating for no immigration.
Yes, because continued migration at present levels will destroy the national character of many western countries, even if you add a bunch of things on top of the "merelies" you listed. What's more, not a single person pushing back on him will ever advocate for any measure for actually preserving national character. They will argue "cultures have, like, always changed, maaaan", instead.
I mean. They could voluntarily reform themselves into a peace-loving liberal democracy.
Contemporary Iran's origin story is the US staging a coup there, and imposing a dictator. Why should anyone believe "democracy" would somehow save them?
In principle there should be nothing stopping them from just ceasing to be an oppressive warmongering theocracy,
People who start wars look ridiculous calling others "warmongers".
Alright, drawing dead bugs to the background is working out pretty well. One touch I decided to add was to tone down the light-sensitivity of the background texture, this way the bugs that are still alive stand out more, but the background still get the cool light-cone effect. Now I'm working on expanding it to cover a wider area. In theory I could just throw a bigger texture at it, but I was thinking of splitting the background into a grid, and only sending the textures close to the player to the shader program. This way the background could theoretically have an infinite map.
How have you been doing @Southkraut?
