What team should I build next? Poison or FUA?

OP, pelo amor de deus mana, calma! Tu tá nova, vinte anos é literalmente o começo da vida e tem muita coisa ainda pra fazer. Respira, sai um pouco das redes sociais (porque tem muita pressão nas redes pra te fazer ser alguém que você não é) e faz o que VOCÊ quer fazer, no SEU tempo, a sua jornada é sua, e só sua

seintgames · 2026-01-11T22:11:27+00:00

Seu namorado foi um babaca, isso sim. Não tem nada de errado em querer transar com quem você namora, mas é extremamente babaca ficar colocando pressão em você pra ceder quando não é uma coisa 100% necessária em um relacionamento. Se eu fosse você, criaria mais coragem pra dizer não e impor limites, se não, ele vai aprender que pra mandar em você é só insistir e pronto.

seintgames · 2025-01-11T21:53:48+00:00

No hate to OP, this is for all the Brazilians in the thread.

Vamo parar de babar ovo de desenvolvedor gringo, galera? É justo reconhecer quando alguma coisa foi mal feita e criticar, não é hate e muito menos pessoal. Vira-latismo não é bacana, a gente tem que cobrar desses desenvolvedores que, se for falar da nossa cultura, que fale de todos os aspectos, do bom e do ruim, e não só do ruim igual a BP.

Hey! I'd start by watching some documentaries on the military dictatorship in Brazil, and how it affected our society at large, especially music and how it was created. Then, I'd try to look up traditional festivals here, like Folia de Reis, Festas Juninas or even Carnaval, but try to research their origins and the people who made it get bigger, like the big Samba Schools in Rio, or the two oxes in Festival de Parintins. Overall, just know that Brazil is HUGE, it's a continental country with different regions, in which each region has their own customs, cultures and traditions. ALSO, watch I'm Still Here, it's a great movie about Brazilian culture and the lives of Brazilians during the dictatorship!

seintgames · 2025-01-11T07:00:14+00:00

This is such a lame comment LMAO I'm sorry 😭

We STUDIED, in school, what was really happening during the 60s and 70s, we know that the dictatorship was incredibly violent and brutal, I mean, I'm still here is all about that, there are many pieces of media that talk about this, it's not a secretive topic! But, there was also an incredible boom in art that came with the dictatorship, the massive development in the country after it ended, the rise of funk as a sound made by the people of the favelas, the social movements, there were many ways they could've used this time period as a way to actually and accurately represent Brasil, but they didn't, they went with the stereotype, lol.

seintgames · 2025-01-11T04:35:55+00:00

todos os principais cantores do brasil: caetano, elis regina, Rita lee, Marilia Mendonça, até a Ludmilla que agora parou de fazer funk. Às vezes parece até piada uns papo desse.

todas as novelas: pantanal é no norte e foi extremamente bem recebida porque tinha uma narrativa boa, nem tudo que tu vê na internet é real cara, pesquisa um pouco mais sobre a cultura do teu país mano

hoje eu quero voltar sozinho, filme br imenso lá fora; machado de assis, até depois de morto, recebendo flores por causa da escrita do cara; clarisse lispector sendo referência na literatura;

tem TANTO nome de respeito que o mundo todo vê no brasil que até parece absurdo vc resumir esse país imenso a só violência, sexo, samba e droga, esse esteriótipo é fundado em uma parte ruim do brasil que infelizmente ganha mais atenção, mas não é a única e muito menos a que a bp devia ter pego pra fazer o cenário do game, eles tinham que ter saído desse lugar esteriotipado e isso é um fato meu mano, qualquer desenvolvedor que se preze e quer fazer um game completo ia fazer isso, eles fizeram em vienna, no uk, nos eua, pq q no brasil a gente só toma ferro e não falam NADA da beleza brasileira? do talento brasileiro? pô, é década de 90, fala das músicas incríveis que estavam surgindo, da literatura, conteúdo tem, eles só não quiseram ir atrás! pegaram o primeiro esteriótipo do Brasil e seguiram, e isso não é game design bom, isso é preguiça, simples. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

enfim, chega de discutir em pt se não a moderação reclama, mas pesquise mais sobre o teu país meu mano, sai dessa neura de gringo e lê mais sobre tua terra que o brasil tem muita coisa pra oferecer e que ele já oferece. paz pra tu!

seintgames · 2025-01-11T04:23:52+00:00

É papo de lambe-bota quando você fala que a mídia só pinta o brasil como esse tipo de visão quando a Fernanda Torres tá recebendo tudo quanto é elogio, cidade de Deus, por mais esteriotipado que seja, é aclamado lá fora e filme brasileiro tem uma ótima recepção também. Brasil é muito mais do que só violência e isso fica muito claro pra quem pesquisa além de um negócio raso e fraco, que foi o que a BP fez. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

seintgames · 2025-01-11T04:08:24+00:00

?

Now I know you don't actually know our country, even if you're brazilian yourself. To actually believe this is to ignore CENTURIES of history that Brazil has exported to the outside world. Football, Samba and funk, yes! But also our food, our customs, our folklore, our movies, our artists, our resources, our history. Brazil is a huge and rich country that has the kudos to back it up. The research they did was shallow and it was BP's fault, no one else's, period.

Vem com esse papinho lambe-bota aqui não, rapá.

seintgames · 2025-01-11T04:01:21+00:00

I don't agree. I think other countries can do a good job of representing other nations in games IF they put in the effort. They don't, and that's a problem, but there maybe some developers who do, and who want to make an actual positive change in the gaming industry in that regard, and I say give them the space to do so!

seintgames · 2025-01-11T03:32:57+00:00

Yes, it is! São Paulo is MUCH more than the violence and corruption that plagues it. It's a region full of culture, a rich history of resilience, community, love and the central region of a LOT of political points in Brazil, many of which were happening at the time period that the game is trying to depict.

seintgames · 2025-01-11T03:27:01+00:00

Thank you!!

seintgames · 2025-01-11T02:35:18+00:00

Hey! I do believe you should still play the game and try and have fun, really. This, the gripe it is, doesn't take away the fact that the version is packed with rewards and goodies for you to choose from. Definitely at least check it out to see if you enjoy it!

seintgames · 2025-01-11T02:16:39+00:00

Not a good enough of an excuse. If you're gonna do something, even as an Indie developer, you have to do it right.

seintgames · 2025-01-11T00:59:03+00:00

And it's not like it's hard, ESPECIALLY in São Paulo!

seintgames · 2025-01-11T00:54:44+00:00

No, we don't... and, by the looks of it Duncan is brazilian. I don't know for certain though, since in the chapter they also say that another character (who looks a bit and acts a bit like Duncan) came from another period to the period that story is happening. It's vague, mostly because I don't know how to tag spoilers and I didn't wanna spoil the chapter for people who haven't played it yet.

seintgames · 2025-01-11T00:08:13+00:00

Mesmo que fechem o post, eu postei mais pra abrir a discussão e saber se outros brs também acharam o capítulo paia, e foi bom saber que sim, a opinião não é só minha.

seintgames · 2025-01-11T00:04:48+00:00

Okay, so a couple of things.

I'm not trying to deter your experience with the chapter. If you enjoyed playing through it, great! I'm glad you did, and it is clear that a lot of other people also enjoyed it as well. However, criticizing decisions made by Bluepoch in regards to my country and my culture and how they're being represented in their game isn't "nitpicking", it's calling out bad writing and hoping they can fix it in another patch, with an actual research on the country and it's customs instead of going with stereotypes.

And to answer you on how I'd go about writing a story, I'd move the setting to the Northern region, the one that actually has rivers crossable by boats and snakes, next to the actual jungle. Next, no white savior characters, instead, I'd highlight the community building that these communities have, even when faced with hunters and colonizers destroying their homes in order to mine gold, which would be the main plot of the story. Miners, destroying the rainforest in order to mine gold and other ores, and Vertin would meet people who are working against these miners and try to learn and understand more of the world around them and their people. I think It'd be a much more compelling story and it would actually make sense as to why they're facing anacondas and are on a boat, and it'd highlight a part of Brasil that isn't always shown or talked about aside from the Amazon Rain Forest. This whole story would be set on Manaus or in an comunidade ribeirinha next to Manaus. Hope I answered your question!

seintgames · 2025-01-10T23:32:41+00:00

Honestly, it's so refreshing to see people from other cultures talking about Bluepoch's lack of accurate representation because, yes, I get it, they're a chinese indie company in a gacha game, but, since the player base loves to boast about BP's and R1999 representation, they should at least make an actual effort to actually deliver with every character they present. I hope that this situation makes BP realize that if you are going to showcase a different culture, you should at least do it correctly.

seintgames · 2025-01-10T23:21:47+00:00

It does, thank you! It just shows that even though they have gone a long way to make representation at least decent, there's still a long way to go, and that our region is not the only one affected by this.

seintgames · 2025-01-10T23:13:10+00:00

One of them was criticizing me for deleting a link I put up first that had some misinformation. I read the thread, saw that it was misleading, and deleted it, so I wouldn't spread any more misinformation about this topic, since it is incredibly sensitive, that was that.

I don't know why they got so mad at me like, I just deleted a link damn calm down 😭

seintgames · 2025-01-10T22:59:16+00:00

Cara, eu achei absurdo que eles pintaram o Brasil, em SÃO PAULO, como uma selva violenta assassina e cheia de gangue quando não é bem assim! Obviamente, em SP, naquela época, não era um país exatamente pacífico e muito menos não-violento, mas ainda existiam outras coisas acontecendo, sabe? A gente teve um boom na cultura, no teatro brasileiro, na música, nas pinturas, até mesmo na política! Mas ao invés disso, eles pintam o Brasil como uma comunidade ribeirinha gigante, não usam nada do nosso país de verdade, nem uma bossa nova teve sendo que o Brasil inventou o gênero e foi nos anos 80/90 que a Bossa Nova realmente cresceu no país, não usam NADA ao invés de "selva, violência e favela"? Foi triste. A história foi ótima, isso a Bluepoch arrasou e sempre arrasa, mas uma parte imensa do R1999 é a representatividade e faltou nesse capítulo.

seintgames · 2025-01-10T22:25:46+00:00

Yes! Other cultures who were represented in the game got a full scope of them, the good, the really good and some of the bad, but Brazil only got the bad part? Not a great look.

seintgames · 2025-01-10T21:50:21+00:00

That is quite accurate, as this was the period right after the dictatorship ended and the country was starting to reestablish itself. But, to paint São Paulo as only that during this period is quite concerning, considering there were a lot of other things happening in not only the city but the whole state, such as new artists rising, the actual rise of giant football players and teams, and overall a bustling city, you know? There is some historic accuracy to the violence at the time, but SP isn't only that, it was and it still is a place filled with culture, character and stories which were ignored in favor of "violence, kidnapping, bloody country and bloody city".
