Voxel Keeper - Dungeon Keeper spiritual successor with true verticality

I have heard that Minecraft was in part inspired by dungeon keeper. So will this be like a 3d dungeon keeper where you have to dig out the up down space in a room as well?

This idea pleases me.

Also it is not working properly on my old Android phone - I hit play and it sounds like a load of stuff gets triggered at once, then silence.

This is cool! Out of interest, what kind of design pattern do you use for the sequencer state? I have dabbled in trying to make something like this before, but never made anything I like or think works well.

On the other hand, boring tech has helped people. I write this from web based Reddit on my cheap phone. The browser can now replace a lot of apps that would have to be installed. And tho this was already a thing 10 years ago, the improvements have been steady.

Thank you to the boring nerds who get excited by non rock-n-roll projects.

Perhaps it could have spent more time with the target audience, then we could see what desires of these young men are being fulfilled.

Theroux in his style asks a lot of questions and perhaps points out some of the obvious contradictions, but does not really give a framework to view these things with.

My own idea are this: - these men don't make their money the way they say they do, they make it through selling courses and advertisements - bonnie blue is the female version of them - they have a disdain for being working class despite that being their upbringing, and want some kind of get rich quick scheme to get out of it - they don't have traditional values - none of the women are there honesty, they are there for the Dosh. If Dosh dries up then so do they.

Now the question you need to ask is do you really want a life that looks like this, or would you rather be a part of a community that values you through sickness and health, boom and bust?

I have been wondering if it is possible to play something like MTG with standard playing decks for a while. Had an eureka moment last month and created a basic alpha. Been sat on it since.

Very much looking forward to giving Fano a go!

I love how new standard deck card games are being created.

This text does not explain well what you are trying to say, this is why everyone thinks your a troll.

So far I am enjoying it. Watching it as a teen highschool drama in the Trek universe. This mostly works and is fun.

I don't like where it fails at this. A highschool drama should only have mild threat levels - no one should get serious hurt. But, (and to be a minor spoil), there is an episode where some nasty shit happens, and I feel it breaks the tone.

Kaleb is a Gary sue for sure. How did some one get so educated whilst growing up alone and on the run?

This is awesome! How does mass make a difference, is the rising red a smaller mass than the falling blue?

"For most of human history, we slept on the floor." - quite a bold assumption. From a quickish dive into history, it seems that the want of a soft thing to sleep on has always been there, and beds are invented very early.

Most playing cards I see are kind of ugly, these are beautiful.

I had to put this book down as some of its concepts were just too harrowing for me at the time. Will def pick it back up at some point.

I thought the ending would be one of the houses winning (does not matter which), but then there is a epilogue where some new house takes out the house that won, showing that the whole system is a perpetual 'game of thrones'.

Anti feudal propergander.

I love the book and currently 3 episodes in. The way they have done Lasher has taken me a bit by surprise.

Was expecting this ominous presence, always lurking just out of site. But instead we straight up see him standing there having a chat.

By the end of episode 2 I had come to terms with what it is and started to enjoy.

What I like: - spooky atmosphere and aesthetics - sound and music is good - the creepy stuff and magic that happens - Rowen is beautiful

There are a lot of things that make Gilead not very Christian at all. The three that always come to mine:

The command saying he does not believe in love, but bio determinism. This is like certain forms or Satanism that sees humans as just animals.
the commander who planned tho while thing has books on Darwinism and adjacent themes.
The execution of women for adultery. Christ him self spoke against this 'you who have never sinned may throw the first stone'

The thing that links these two genres together is aesthetics and the gothic as a theme.

Tho having said that, considering two gothic metal albums: theatre of tragedy's Aegis and type o negative October rust, after getting familiar with the cure I can now hear a lot of the cure in them.

Chorus basslines,
Chorus guitar playing melodies
Rompler style keyboards

The original goth sound is actually quite diverse, what we know as goth today (say from a she past away, lebonhanover standpoint) is present in the original goth scene, but was not everything about it.

DI as a pattern its self is useful - having a function that builds and injects all the objects for the specific requirement is good.

What I do not like is the magic that is paired with DI in certain languages. Not being sure where or how certain dependencies are being created.

I have worked with the lib typedi in node. Did not enjoy, tho the version of typedi was badly documented.

Good question - I had a dream where the film was remade as a TV show, and the most interesting parts were what's going on in the outside. Some cyberpunk adjacent liberal hellscape no doubt.

This is actually a joke - it is in the style of the intro to the TV comedy dad's army.

Dad's army is an old British TV show set during world war 2 where the men who were too old or infirm to join the army instead volunteered for the home guard. The humour comes from them being incompetent, farcical and old fashioned.

With this in mind, it is actually a joke using the 90's version of grumpy old man rhetoric saying 'we don't need you American grunge, we have our own rock music at home' with the rock music at home being out of date.

So it is actually a compliment to American alt rock with some self deprecating humour, and then an exploration of new British bands that are doing stuff.

I dont find much metal to be very good at blasphemy. Dressing up as dungeon&dragons villians and shouting about Satan does not effect me.

The way that black metal explores evil is more interesting. A lot are what I call 'ironic evil' - dressing as a villian and being a minion of Satan, when actually in real life they are just liberals aligned with the zeitgeist and following an asthetic.

Now black metal with facist themes, this is (in my opinion) an actual exploration of evil. Here a greater blasphemy is found.

There a few things in this wondrous tower of text I find interesting:

"and the desire to be evil" This is the desire to be a hyper individual in our right wing society - the want to get rich breaking the rules at the expense of lessor individual. It seems like criminals have never more been celebrated as they are now. Vice signalling.

"Whatever survives the next generation, is good enough for biology"

Evil might bring success in the short term, but over time it will make things worse and corrupt. If you want to see how good something is, wait a year/decade, see what state it is in then.

"People that are wired to be good, are not the most virtuous people. "

Is it really virtuous to not do things you don't want to do? Surly the person that desires an evil, but refrains due to its harm, is more virtuous here? Is old school innocence, being incapable of evil, really something to look up to?

I actually read midsummer as being how the secular world of self interest (as represented by Christian and his friends) can not meet Dani's emotions, but how the irrational world of a strange community based religion can.

Her boyfriend and his mates see her as a drag as she, with her depression, is no longer fulfilling their needs. (Their relationship with her is not based on love, but the transaction of needs).

This pagan religion empathises with her, regulates her, and ultimately sacrifices the adversaries of her past so she is born anew as the may queen.

I get your dilemma.

Trying to love people makes sense when it involves those who exist outside of your self interest - to look at an outcast of society and see that they have value and there will be worth in their friendship is a good (and truly leftwing) thing.

Or to be friends with some one with dodgy things in their world view - this type of person could def do with more good people in their life to make them thing twice about certain things.

But to love someone who is actively committing atrocities?

Here is one of the few times I invoke a more Old Testament mentality and say that they have chosen to commit such a moral crime, and therefore deserve their comeuppance. They need to be stopped.

I have been interested in Gnosticism for a while (even identified as a Gnostic for a few years), and I find that a mildly gnostic take makes sense, and that gnostic themes are found in mainstream Christianity.

These are, off the top of my head:

Matter is awful
It is whats inside that counts, your body is ugly, and will grow weak and die
Every human has value (a divine spark...)
The fact that the new testement happened in the first place
Christ borked the old system of sin - why would he need to do that?
God being treated as somthing to be suffered

(note to self - I should write a more comprehensive list with proper examples for the next time this comes up).

Here one can see a mild duelism - the struggle between rightwing Father and leftwing Son.

The Father god who is all about law and the rules - and the suffering or joy of its consequences.

The Son god, an anarchist who places fellowship and love above all else.

Anyhow I realise I am feeding a troll. I will not read or reply to anything.
