@Adabear_Art Against the Storm is a neat twist- world is in an ebb and flow of cataclysmic floods, and every settlement you do is you returning to ruined territory inhabited by your ancestors and trying to ensure the survival of your home

There's also As Far as the Eye, which is VERY cool

@FortunataFox Hey fort! I'm down to do some beta reading/volunteer editing if you'd like an extra hand, as I have some free time currently and don't mind the extra work load. Just let me know if you're interested and we can talk details!

@Honeyhaunted There is no turning off Phenomaman; he is forever He. His life IS as a superhero, vs Blond Blazer who wants someone to be mundane with her (like Rob!)

good post and analysis

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@Adabear_Art Turns out understanding the fundamentals of how shapes construct complex anatomy helps you draw!!! Professor should go pound sand

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@Honeyhaunted Oh that bastard bumps his numbers with saving people and infrastructure from fires he sets himself, he's gaming the system

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@Honeyhaunted They both, similar to Invisigal, chafe the most against the sanitized corporate culture at SDN and are at the bottom of the leaderboard as a result

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@Honeyhaunted I think it's moreso that up to that point they have good reasons for being low-rated in a corporate workplace vs the rest of the team. Coupé is a visible minority who *isn't* a people person, Sonar struggles with addiction and is (arguably?) a metaphor for a coworker with bipolar

@Honeyhaunted The pipe music and punch-up's grunts are what get me every time

NPNS 31 "Red, Red Roses" Departs the battle line towards an awaiting tanker flotilla to take on fuel. An enemy vessel takes one last shot before doing the same.

@NonuserN Hallownest also largely was decrepit in its infrastructure, but also had less mechanisms to maintain compared to Pharloom. Its sewers largely were flow-water systems and meant for personal waste; contrast Pharloom, which actively had toxic runoff from its industrial centres

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@NonuserN @Zingus5 Pharloom actively had quick transit for the wealthy in the form of pneumatic tubes, whereas the poor used the bellways in some capacity (we're not quite sure how). It wasn't that Pharloom *couldn't* do trams; they had no reason to compared to Hallownest.

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@DefinitelyaAI @Zingus5 Less bug stalin, and moreso what if Queen Victoria was also the Pope AND England had access to immortality technology. Pharloom does have broad collectivism aspects to its faith, but it's in service to an elevated "some adherents are better than others" exceptionalism

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@miracleknight85 Like primarily the upper and privileged classes were the ones that benefited, and it seems like Pharloom was primarily looking to what made things operate the cheapest. Silk was a measure to create inhabitants that *couldn't* die; literally biorobots!

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@miracleknight85 I mean I pointed at industrialization as a largely bad thing in Pharloom, but at its core mass industrialization is something that benefits the state and oligarchs vs cottage/craftsperson industry; it's working as intended *because* it benefits the privileged caste of Pharloom

[GryphicZweihander @GryphicZwei]

@miracleknight85 It's all part of their intentional design to weed out "weak" or unpious pilgrims so that they have strong workers, soldiers, and citizens. Pharloom is *fucked* up

Some exciting professional news: in a fortnight I shall be assuming a position as governess at a stately yet lonesome manse in the northern moors
