Good evening, I'm Garg. I make mods and games based around content I like.



As of April 1st 2022, I'm also now open for 3D model commissions for Arma 3 (Unit + Uniform/Face), VRChat (Avatar), or Garry's Mod (Playermodel + Ragdoll). Here's a form with illustrated prices if that interests you in any way: https://forms.gle/UPtvmPg1UAX3GB8b6



I'm the sole developer of Toupei55 (a game I never really intended to release, but did so at the request of certain friends), and have been working on an open-world milsim-ish RPG called Pelted Warfare since late 2018. Due to the project repeatedly failing to meet my standards of quality, it has undergone three iterations and design documents, with many transitional periods between the iterations. The current, third one, is being written in C# and uses a custom game engine called Ruff Engine, which aims to provide an API similar to UnityEngine's, while using a file structure similar to Source Engine for moddability, and using a model format similar to Real Virtuality's.

And now for something completely different: things I would like changed about my city, and my country.

1. Cycling paths running in parallel with the BR- highways, like BR-101, to provide a more sustainable, long term, and extremely cheap form of transportation for the lower classes and the young, who may not want, or be able to afford, a motor vehicle. In general, we should discourage people from using cars, or at the very least highly encourage carpooling, public transport, and alternative transport.

2. Looser restrictions on the transport of bicycles within trains and the metro. As is right now, they are only ever allowed during the late evening hours and on specific days. This almost entirely rules out the use of bicycles for medium or long distance travel (30+km) and forces people into buses or cars, worsening the already terrible issue of traffic along the valley between the Nova Iguaçú volcano and Pedra Branca.

3. Remove the application of fines and removal of civil rights from those that abstain from voting during election cycles. As is, anyone unable to justify not voting loses the right to obtaining a passport or identification document, to get a loan of any kind, to participate in a public tender of any kind, to study in a public school or university, to serve in the military, to earn a government salary, to run for office, or to obtain any document pertaining to diplomatic offices.

The last few are fairly irrelevant to the working class, but the rest are very much targeted at harming said working class, especially the homeless or the rural lower classes. Do note that these rights are only removed for as long as they haven't paid the fine, of course, and that the fine is always insignificantly small (e.g. R$ 3,51), meaning that anyone with an internet connection, any sort of income, and free time, like yours truly, is unaffected. It really is just a way to put 'the poors' in their place - it serves no other purpose that I can see.

4. Nationalise public transport, and all third-party legal monopolies. Not by nationalising existing companies, but by creating government-owned and controlled companies that can compete against the private sector. Companies like the ones that run our train system or many of our bus routes are clearly incompetent and would be destroyed by any sort of competition that provided actual quality service, which would in turn encourage them to improve their service.

Light and Enel are a similar story; they constantly allow entire municipalities to fall under complete darkness and into disrepair, charge an absurd premium, label low income areas as "high use" areas that are obligated to pay more for the same electricity, and try their best to discourage independent attempts at clean energy generation like solar in order to keep their monopoly and continue raising profits.

5. Remove lobbying. It's a cancer. Get rid of it. That's it, that's all I have to say on lobbying. Not much to say there that isn't patently obvious.

6. Implement Universal Basic Income funded by publicly owned profit driven companies, AND by taxes on the elites and their companies. Alaska does it, you don't see anyone talking about how nobody wants to work there anymore, because at the end of the day, even if someone has money, they'll usually want more of it. Provide more jobs for people, make the job market an actual free market with companies having to compete for people.

It doesn't matter if you have great worker's rights laws if most people can't find work in the first place, and those that do feel so afraid of losing their job that they just allow the company to trample over said rights. Allowing people to exist without needing to work to do so would be a great step towards fixing that. And it'd help <<the economy>>! Just make sure it doesn't encourage people to procreate on mass in order to get more UBI, we already have more than enough people here, and in general, honestly.

7. Create more housing! Minha Casa Minha Vida is great and all, but 4.785 is a pitiful number considering our population and population growth. The government has more than enough money to house the entire population, and we have one of the biggest land masses in the entire planet. Yet, we still have a massive homelessness problem, one that's swept under the rug via pointy rocks under overpasses, misshapen park benches, and police action.

8. To that end, it's okay to spread people out, not everyone needs to live in Rio, Minas, or São Paulo, we already have 40% of our population concentrated in these. You just need to have more places where people can buy groceries, work, etc. As long as everyone isn't going to the same place, the load on traffic and such is much lower. Of course, it'd require basic sanitation, electricity, and asphalted roads to be provided to these new mixed use developments, which the government can't even provide to existing settlements.

But a few 5 or 10 floor apartment blocks with stores of all kinds at the bottom floors, maybe even some office spaces, can go a long way. Remember, urban centres are arbitrary, they can be made to occur via induction. Just look at the Polo Industrial de Manaus, and look into how cities in the ancient times were originally founded, and why people decided to live in them. It can be done.
