Not sure if you are being sarcastic but I will post my guesses:

ct => crypto traders

left and right => each person political leaning tendency

Same-day settlement is cool but how about instant transfer between different banks? Brazilian Pix has it for almost a year.

Seems like a simpler version of TiddlyWiki¹, which is free.

It might worth a try for those who prefer less features

Anyone else puzzled by the shaking migration animation? The original file has a 1920x1080 resolution. I wonder if it is related to the shaking. Good article nevertheless.

Not saying assassination by revenge was correct but one could argue that an even greater start would be the avoidance of transatlantic slave trade.

I'm making a politically charged game based on Brazil's scenario. It's been fun and rewarding. https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/750869

You must pick something that is really meaningful for you in a way that will make you feel good seeing the progress of the project you are working on. What would a Roguelike have to be to take your full attention? How a strategy game you really love has to look like?

What you like beyond games? If you like gardening, make a game about it. Are you a sports fan? Make a sport game. You get the idea.

I'm saying this because it's working for me. Like you, I want to make games on my own. I am also into politics, so I chose a language and a framework[¹] and started from the tutorial with the goal of making a politically-charged infinite-runner[²].

After getting the basics I told my idea to a couple of friends that kindly drew sprites for me to use in the game. It's been a really cool experience. I'm doing it everyday and learning a lot in the way. I strongly believe that the subject choice for the project is what is getting me hooked to it.

There is solid debugging support for most Haxe targets on VSCode[1].
