I love what you said about believing in agency: knowing what power is ultimately in our hands would change the world for the better.

German politics and energy consumption aside, I think they have the best base of knowledge for what your proposed economic model has in store for them and their allies. They had that model forced upon them, and fought for change and economic freedom. There was a freaking wall dividing their country over that.

Don’t shitpost on good discussion please.

Very similar experience in 2012ish, definitely had a rough time of it. That’s when I learned I have a deadly allergy to penicillin.

You’re definitely thinking of T1, or health class and the Internet lied to me all my life. Come to think of it…

But for sure you can get T2 from making unhealthy choices with sugar consumption.

This is a top tier meme format for music communities. Making me need to dive into more game OSTs.

If anyone is on the hunt for good ones, Brad Derrick did some incredible work for Elder Scrolls Online. It’s all fantasy sounds, but an excellent source of ambience for the TTRPG player. A two album set for the base game, and an album for each expansion. It’s some 10 hours of solid work!

It did just that for me, gets those creative juices flowing!

Sounds like a piece of work, this guy… Might as well enjoy the ride in the meantime I suppose!

And thanks! Definitely was going for a high mythology feel for the creation. And history always seems to be quite accidental in our world, so why not superimpose our fantasy conceits upon it?

Ok, I get this, but let’s take a closer look:

Have you ever seen such a high resolution Pikachu meme? Such a shame it’s been wasted on more political rhetoric that no one asked for. More pixels in the damn quotes text, how wild!

Indarra - Industrial Revolution Low Fantasy

The Maiden, first of the darkness, set out to achieve her works, though none were around to witness, to praise. She lit the Great Forge, the Sun, and went to work forging a powerful blade. Assembling floating specks of matter from the darkness, the Maiden created Indarra, the First Blade. As she quenched the gleaming metal in the void, the slag from the blade took form and the world was created as she pulled Indarra free.

Great elemental beasts of fire, earth, and air were born to the molten orb, thrashing about the surface in a frenzy, dazed by their sudden creation. Intrigued by her accidental creation, the Maiden took her blade and cut into the void, drawing its ichor, and the liquid poured forth onto the world becoming water. The last elemental beast was born, and its balancing influence calmed the skys, contained the earth, and extinguished the flame.

There’s a bit more going on after this, another sword created, etc. But that felt long enough for a comment. Came up with a bit of new stuff while fleshing this out for typing, thanks for the post! Also quite liked your story, the creation of Mechanus in particular. Kelaster gives me Loki/coyote trickster vibes, but not to be scorned by mortals.

AvengersPantheon: Civil War, I like it! Could make for a baller Capcom-esque fighting game. But I like the vibe here, though a question. Was Change being born the impetus for these other gods to come about? Like, Change peeling out of the cosmos ripped up some “divine magic gunk” and these other beings were born? Or is that not quite right?
