i was reading through the cars wiki and i remembered that it's a fan-run wiki w/ not necessarily canon info 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

like why was some random gremlin guy listed as j. curby gremlin's cousin?? with no citation??

also i refuse to believe that chick debuted in the late 70s. he debuted in the late 80s/early 90s and that's why he took that photo of him & his piston cup w/ the painfully 90s laser background (he's trying to relive his rookie years)

feel like I'm having a sort of delayed reaction to Satisfactory and Factorio doing really well with their updates since my perspective has mostly been that well duh they're gonna do well they're really good games

but now it's hitting me that they're becoming prominent enough to possibly have some cultural effect on the games industry

will be interesting to see if we see more automationy stuff seep into other genres, it's already happening a tiny bit

heck it'd be funny if we live to see a mainstream AAA automation game - probably not that likely, but I'm sure we can expect to see it in one as a side system, assuming we haven't already

it feels like a little automation is a straightforward addition to the basic base building you'll see bolted onto random games sometimes (and extremely basic automation is already a common element in these systems anyway)

I've been slowly trying to finish this ref for weeks because I kept getting stumped on it, but finally here is Lord S, Nightmare candy maker and bootleg willy wonka

A scientist at heart with a special interest in making desserts of all kinds, he's a reclusive Nightmaren with one of the highest Ideya harvesting outputs in all of Nightmare. He's not necessarily loyal to Wizeman, but he allies himself with whoever will allow him to do his work uninterrupted. So he pulls in massive amounts of ideya for Wizeman in exchange for the god letting him be his mad candy scientist self and be holed up in his factory for days on end.

There's a very funny exchange I've had in my head where people have to go tell him Wizeman has been overthrown because he had no idea there was a war going on lol

Lord S is actually a pretty nice to talk to if ever given the chance! It's hard to catch him on days he isn't completely hyperfocused on his work. He's more than happy to talk the day away about chemistry, culinary science, and sweets of all kinds

He also creates his own third classes that operate as the extra workers in his factory!

He's one of the only Nightmaren who has permission to make their own third class minions, since Wizeman gives him a lot of leniency in return for his exceptional work.

Did Saint-Just ever talk about women’s education?

He sure did! In his Fragments sur les institutions républicaines, he details his idea for the education of girls. Which is as follows:

Les filles sont élevées dans la maison maternelle.

(The girls are educated in maternal home)

That's it. And it comes after a lengthily discussion on the education of boys. So it does sound like SJ remembered girls only as an afterthought, and didn't have much to say on the topic. (I mean, he definitely didn't have much to say on the topic because if he had more ideas, he'd write them down).

Now, I am not sure what this means exactly. That girls should not have much education? Or that any education done to girls should be done in the home? (Those are two very, very different options). SJ was big on protecting girls and women from sexual violence (sometimes seen as going outside without a protector), so maybe this is a reflection on that? Don't get me wrong, this whole education for women is a big L from him, but he grew up at a time where female literacy was becoming a norm, at least for bourgeoise girls. They would get some education on things deemed important for a girl; SJ's own sisters were literate. So I doubt he would want girls to have absolutely no education, or only what their mother can teach (?) I mean, maybe? But that would be mega stupid, because you want the woman of the future Republic to know enough about the world so they can instill patriotic values in their daughters, so they can be good mothers and wives of the future republicans, if nothing else.

So my interpretation is that he got caught so much into developing that idea of friendship-filled, Sparta-inspired program of education for boys that he forgot about the existence of girls until late. And he didn't care that much about it, past "yes, girls get some education". So yes, an L from SJ on this one, but it is too limited to conclude what exactly he thought about the education of women or what he saw as an "appropriate" education for them.

I think we perceive ourselves kind of weird

In the sense that our body, mind, and "The Factory" are all separate beings

All with their own consciousness

They all have their own opinions and take action on their own morals

Sorry if you’ve answered this before but I’m a new reader as of a couple days ago, is Frankie inspired by Frankenstein’s creature or am I just making parallels because of the name and because he happens to look a lot like how I draw the creature? Either way I love him 10/10 would be his friend in real life and lie on the floor thinking about pancakes with him

tbh the Frankie = Frankenstein's monster thing was entirely an accident

I named him after the guy from one piece u_u

i'm being pretty self-indulgent with the next trpg essentials video, and frankly, no one's going to appreciate it like i do.

Sometimes, I imagine a little Mike x Charlie crossover (1971 and 2005), usually as a mini-comic.

Charlie carries Mike on a piggyback (Hi-Yo, Silver!). The 05's are watching from afar. Charlie gives Mike a sidelong glance and Mike mumbles back "No–way" (he's the shortest).
