DD#285 The 22nd Anniversary

Hi, everyone. Today is the 22nd Anniversary of this game and also the 250th Anniversary of the Great nation of the United States of America under President Trump. Congrats to the American patriots.

We usually have a video on this day every year. But since last year, everything has changed.

This week has not been very productive. As I mentioned, I am receiving guests all around the world. It's a moment of family gathering. So, I guess I can make part of this diary as a speech I am about to deliver.

My mother passed away on July 2nd, 2025. And thanks to some Woke Leftists within Steam's store page review team. She was never able to see the store page of the Beyond End DLC.

Yes, our Eve is too sexy for those Woke Leftists. I believe many other developers have faced similar challenges. The problem was solved in the end. But it was too late. And that's the actual reason that the development of this DLC was halted. There was simply too much sorrow. But one thing is clear: since that day, an Elon Musk has emerged within me.

"I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus." --- Elon Musk.

You know, Elon's birthday was just a few days ago. And you may not know what those Woke Leftists did to him on that day. They once again mocked him with sick jokes about his son. His greatest sorrow. It was my mistake before to consider those Woke Leftists as having at least some human decency. I was wrong. I used to have empathy for them. I see LGBT struggles in China for equal rights. I even represented some of them as their lawyer. Yet, in the end, it's a suicidal empathy that Elon Musk has warned us about. “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new-age term that does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy. That’s a separate topic for a different time.” --- Charlie Kirk Fundamentally, empathy has to be built upon a mutual understanding. But each life is unique, and we only experience our own life. How can we even know that others share the same feelings as we do? In more philosophical terms, it's called the "Problem of Other Minds." (It's a new song added to the game this week.)

Can people who are not Chinese really understand the struggle of the Gaokao, life under censorship, and coexistence with a unique, restricted political and economic environment isolated from the rest of the world? Can people who are not American truly be a patriot? Can people who are not Ukrainian or Russian truly know what they are fighting for? Can they even understand each other? Can people understand why hundreds of Chinese are fighting on the Russian side in Donbas while thousands of people from Western nations are fighting on the Ukrainian side when both groups believe they are righteous? No, we are not meant to have the other's life. We cannot truly understand others. We are made this way for natural selection. Yet, we recognize each other. We know our differences. Ideally, we shall live in harmony even with such differences, as an ancient Chinese saying goes, "君子和而不同." (Good people are from different backgrounds but can coexist in harmony.) That's the true diversity, equality, and inclusion. My family understands this quite well, as you may know how diverse each one of us is. Then, that's the moment those Woke Leftists come in. They call whoever they don't like Nazis. They "cancel" anyone who disagrees with them. They disrupt the harmony of this world. I have recognized them as a threat to humanity, and actions have been taken during the past year. It's not cost-efficient to engage in conversation with them, as they have proven unwilling to let others live in peace. They murdered Charlie Kirk. They attempted to assassinate President Trump many times. Only actions can stop them. So, I have delivered results. Changes have happened on multiple fronts, from the markets to parts of the game industry itself. Some stock prices crashed. Some layoffs hit woke studios. Western publishers were fired and their forums shut down. Sometimes, all I did was give a small push at the right moment. And when the opportunity arises, I have no problem making sure their misfortunes continue.

Some may call me reckless. But I am not my mother. I am not my father. I am the new Patriarch who will make everything more efficient under my direct control. You seem to enjoy my stock talks, so here we go again.

This is a banned technique in China but can be fully used in the US market. When the market is falling. When someone is trying to cancel my friend Elon's SpaceX. I put a large sum of money into it to stop them, help the stock bounce back, and then leave. Each time, the profit may be tiny. But it's all about frequency and timing. Also, don't mind Palantir. Since they are helping Israel blow the shit out of the terrorists and making those Woke Leftists scream louder. I am also stabilizing their stock price as a courtesy. Of course, there is a risk of falling. But as I said, I am not just here for money, even though it can always provide more game development funds when executed right. I am here for what I believe is the RIGHT thing to do. Humanity's future is too important. It cannot be harmed by those AI-fearing Woke Leftists. Plus, I don't think many of them even have any meaningful amount of money to fight against me, even when I got my hands tightened by China's currency control policy. Sometimes, I wonder how people in the most financially advanced nation can even be poor. They were born in a place where they have access to all the tools on the market that I don't. They have been born in a nation where a poor kid like JD Vance can be the Vice President. If I were in their place, I could have achieved much more. Life is simply unfair, isn't it? But will you just give up? I know I will not. Facing all those losses, all that unfairness, all that sorrow along this journey, NEOLITHIA still stands! And that's not even my full power.

This is just another thing I cannot do in China, but I will absolutely use and abuse in the US market. I will defend this man who vowed to destroy the Woke Mind Virus and bring us to Mars.

What has my "recklessness" brought? Over 120% ROI in the last 12 months. The best way to honor my mother is to prove her way of investing was no match for what I am doing now. I am stronger, smarter, and better. I hope the next generation surpasses me just like this. That is how our family evolves.

According to tradition, her ashes will be buried under the ground around July 20th, after a lunar year since her passing. And a ceremony will be held on that day. All friends are welcome. A similar ritual for my grandparents will be next month. So, I guess some of you will be staying a bit longer. Consider it a summer vacation. I will cover all the costs.

Now talk about the summer. Do you know the Woke Leftists also hate air conditioners? They call air conditioners far right. If a normal person does not like air conditioners, they just do not use them. But if a Woke Leftist does not like air conditioners, they ban everyone from using them. That's the ultimate stupidity that is happening in Western Europe right now. So, we shall have our far-right air conditioners in the game.

Of course, you can have a more portable version in the game that can be directly mounted on your portable devices, like a USB.

You know how hard Chinese air conditioner manufacturers are currently making specialized air conditioners to bypass all the stupid European Woke Leftist Regulations? I even have some indirect shares of those companies via ETFs.

In NEOLITHIA, I believe, it's wrong to ban people's option to make choices. Maybe such a choice is not very popular. Maybe some will even hate such a choice. But it's absolutely immoral to just remove a choice that some people will pick. That's the part where this freedom-loving game design philosophy is incompatible with the Woke Leftists. I don't care what temperature you set your air conditioners to. I don't care if that will indirectly affect the environment. I am pretty sure some Woke Leftist European politicians' airplanes can cause more damage than your air conditioners. I am confident science and technology can one day make it irrelevant. Because, for God's sake, we are going to terraform the fucking Mars! And they don't even dare to think that we can fix the Earth.

The Woke Leftists are absolutely harming human civilization's progression to a new height. Thus, it's only fair to add them to a new enemy theme in the Wonderland Travel Agency. I know many of you have been asking for this feature for quite a while. So, have fun! After all, we only shoot them in this game while they are encouraging violence in real-life.

Meanwhile, there is some other content for the story this week. It's time to reveal more about the other factions' activities as you push forward in Chapter 3. The Christian Holy Order Eternal Staff decides to rebel against the Nise Federation to stop Tanya's plan. And they are going to work with the Templars to put together a unified Christian force. Eve now appears in the Illuminati office in Hottle after Chapter 2. You can continue your relationship with her. Yes, it's that girl those Woke Leftists think is too sexy. They want to make her uglier, but I am not going to take one step back. Depending on your relationship, you may even find out that the reason the Illuminati hasn't been doing anything this whole time is that she has some feelings for you after the adventure in Queensmouth and Egypt and doesn't want to get into a conflict and have to fight you. (On the other hand, if your relationship with her is bad, she will call you a "work-hazard.")

Of course, just like usual, there are some silly, goofy things in this week's updates. I promised to add this after seeing a silly X post. I was probably drunk. But a promise is a promise; whatever I promised will be delivered. So, you get it.

That's for this week. The longer this journey goes on, the more people we will have to leave behind. But we must go forward, carrying on their memory. Our ancestors will not want an earth infested with the Woke Mind Virus. Thus, we shall safeguard this world that we have inherited from them. Go forward, conquer and heal the world! All Hail NEOLITHIA!

If a Buddhist monk is right, maybe I have done this many times in my past lives. We are the Chosen People of Time (another song added to the game this week). It sounds Pagan to me. But I will keep an open mind.

In the 22nd year, I will likely take more family duties. But the updates continue. To the end!
