orphic; (adj.) mysterious and entrancing, beyond ordinary understanding. ─── 003. the framework.

-> summary: when you, a final-year student at the grove, get assigned to study under anaxagoras—one of the legendary seven sages—you know things are about to get interesting. but as the weeks go by, the line between correlation and causation starts to blur, and the more time you spend with professor anaxagoras, the more drawn to him you become in ways you never expected. the rules of the academy are clear, and the risks are an unfortunate possibility, but curiosity is a dangerous thing. and maybe, just maybe, some risks are worth taking. after all, isn’t every great discovery just a leap of faith? -> pairing: anaxa x gn!reader. -> tropes: professor x student, slow burn, forbidden romance. -> wc: 2.4k -> warnings: potential hsr spoilers from TB mission: "Light Slips the Gate, Shadow Greets the Throne" (3.1 update). main character is written to be 21+ years of age, at the very least. (anaxa is written to be around 26-27 years of age.) swearing, mature themes, suggestive content.

-> a/n: well well well... this took a long damn time. apologies, apologies, but the science had to be figured out. these two are absolute NERDS, i fear. oblivion is absolutely delicious on those who claim to possess and pursue the knowledge of the universe. i fear you will be suffering for a WHILE if youre not into the slow burn HAAHAHAH. also,, if you guys ever want to see the actual equations and notes i took to write some of the science for this chapter, i could post it as well,, hehe,, -> prev. || next. -> orphic; the masterlist.

Hushed voices, the occasional shuffle of papers, the muted hum of thought is all that fills the air in the library. You sit at your usual table, papers strewn before you. The assignment has consumed your thoughts since it was given to you—an open-ended challenge demanding structure, logic, proof. Model something that physics refuses to acknowledge.

Your notes are chaotic, an evolving web of connections scrawled in the margins, crossed out and rewritten. A familiar frustration gnaws at you—the feeling of standing on the precipice of understanding, just shy of articulation. You run a hand through your hair and exhale sharply, staring at the mess of your own making. You need structure, a foundation to hold onto. If the soul exists, then it cannot be an anomaly—it must be governed by laws, patterns, something definable. If every human mind is unique, then what makes them so? The answer cannot be randomness. There must be an underlying form, a universal template from which all variation emerges.

You tap your pen against the page, mind turning. If identity is not a static entity but a recursive function, shaped by initial conditions and iterative transformations, then no self is ever fixed. The soul would not be a singular essence but a structure in motion, a process of becoming. And if this process holds, then consciousness cannot be isolated. The soul, then, is not merely a singular phenomenon—it is networked, existing not only within itself but through its connections. But what is it that determines it?

If this recursion is real, then it must not be a property of human existence but a fundamental principle of consciousness itself, a universal law.

It isn’t proof. It isn’t even a complete theory yet. But it is a start. A framework, a way forward. You stare at the words in front of you, pulse steady but intent.

Your fingers ache from gripping the pen too tightly, your vision blurring as you stare at the same lines of text, reading and rereading without truly absorbing them. The library’s stillness, once a comfort, has become suffocating—a static silence pressing in around you, the air too thick, the rows of bookshelves seemingly endless, as if space itself is closing in.

You lean back, dragging a hand down your face. A glance at the clock startles you. How long have you been here? Long enough that the lamps cast long, slanted shadows over your scattered notes. Long enough that exhaustion has settled into your limbs, dull and insistent.

You need air. Movement. A change in surroundings before your thoughts begin looping endlessly in place.

Gathering your papers into a loose stack, you shove them into your bag with little care for organization. You rise, stretching the stiffness from your spine before heading for the exit. The fluorescent lighting of the library hums overhead as you step out, the cooler evening air brushing against your skin like a quiet relief.

Minutes later, you find yourself at the café, drawn by the promise of warmth and caffeine. As the quiet hum of the city presses in, you click a few buttons on your phone and lift it to your ear.

–

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingers in the air, grounding you. You wrap your hands around the ceramic cup, letting its heat seep into your skin. You sit near the window, coffee cup nestled between your hands, eyes skimming the notes spread haphazardly across the table. The light overhead buzzes softly—old wiring, probably—but the sound fades into the background as you focus.

You’re not here to have a breakthrough. You’re here to map the boundaries.

The problem with studying the soul—if you can even call it that—isn’t just defining it. It’s figuring out where to look. If it exists as more than a philosophical concept, then there have to be parameters. A framework.

You flip to a blank page in your notebook.

What is the soul?

A real question. Not in the poetic sense, not in the way people speak about it in hushed tones and late-night confessions, but as a function. A thing with properties.

You write:

— The soul is not isolated. If it were, it wouldn’t interact with the world. People change. Learn. Influence each other. Whatever the soul is, it isn’t locked away inside a single person.

— It has persistent traits, but it is not static. Memories shape behavior. Experience alters perception. The thing that makes you you isn’t a fixed point, but it also isn’t random. There’s continuity, even through change.

— It extends beyond individual experience. Connections leave an imprint. People carry each other—sometimes in ways they can’t explain. If the soul exists beyond metaphor, then its effects should be traceable.

You take a slow sip of coffee. These aren’t conclusions. They’re places to start.

At the very least, if you’re going to chase something this impossible, you have to know what it isn’t–

"Trial and error."

The voice is measured, almost idle, but it cuts through the noise of the café like a well-placed incision.

You jolt, pen slipping from your fingers. Anaxagoras is standing beside your table, hands in the pockets of his coat, gaze flicking over your notes with mild interest. His presence isn’t overwhelming, but it shifts the air in a way you feel immediately. Like a variable introduced into an equation.

"You can’t just—appear—like that," you say, exhaling sharply as you retrieve your pen.

He lifts a brow. "I used the door. Perhaps you weren’t paying attention." His gaze drops back to your notebook, reading without asking, though you suspect if you told him to stop, he actually would. "Trial and error," he repeats, as if the phrase itself is under scrutiny. "A method you seem to be employing."

You sit back slightly, fingers curling around your coffee cup. "You say that like it’s a bad thing."

"Not at all," he replies, voice as even as ever. "It’s an honest approach. Just an unpolished one."

You huff a quiet laugh. "Practicality aside, it’s the only thing I can do at this stage. I'm defining parameters, not solving anything." You tap your pen against the page. "Or would you rather I skip to the part where I give you something half-formed and empirically worthless?"

His mouth curves—just slightly. "I appreciate the restraint."

"High praise."

Anaxagoras doesn’t acknowledge that, but his gaze lingers on your notes a moment longer before he straightens. He doesn’t sit, doesn’t ask to join, but he also doesn’t leave immediately.

Instead, he says, "It’s getting cold."

You blink at him. "What?"

"Your coffee," he nods toward your coffee cup, still mostly full. "You’ve been holding it for minutes without drinking."

You glance down at it, then back up at him. "I didn't realize you were keeping track."

"Well, far be it from me to disrupt your... inefficiency." he remarks, stepping back.

You glance toward the door. "I'm actually waiting for someone."

Anaxagoras tilts his head slightly.

"A friend," you clarify, though you're not sure why it feels necessary to do so.

He makes no move to leave, and you take another sip of coffee, not minding the silence that settles between you. It's surprisingly comfortable, even in its brevity.

Then, the door swings open.

Ilias strides in, scanning the café—then stops dead when he sees the two of you. His eyes flick between you and Anaxagoras, narrowing with immediate, delighted suspicion. And then, with exaggerated slowness, he pivots on his heel, turning straight back toward the exit.

"Oh, for—come back," you call, exasperated.

Ilias replies, raising his hands in mock surrender but grinning as he turns back around. "Please. Continue your—" he gestures vaguely, "—whatever this is."

Anaxagoras exhales, barely more than a breath, and finally steps away from your table. "I’m leaving."

Ilias watches him, expression far too entertained. He mutters just loud enough for you to hear, "I can't believe you invited me to your impromptu date."

You glare at him, but before you can retort, you catch the faintest shift in Anaxagoras' posture—nothing overt, no reaction beyond the briefest pause in his step. Then he continues toward the door, leaving without a word.

You groan, rubbing your temples.

Ilias collapses into the seat across from you like a man overcome by the sheer weight of his own amusement. "That was," he announces, "the single most deliciously awkward thing I have ever witnessed."

You mutter a quiet curse under your breath, flipping to a fresh page in your notebook.

"And yet," he sighs, folding his hands under his chin with a smirk, "here I am—like the universe itself has conspired to place me in this exact moment.”

Ilias is still grinning as he leans back in his chair, stretching lazily. “You know, if you ever need a chaperone for your secret intellectual rendezvous, I’m available.”

You roll your eyes, gathering your notes with more force than necessary. “It wasn’t an—” You stop yourself. There’s no point. Ilias seemingly lives for provocation, and you won’t give him the satisfaction. Instead, you shake your head and lean back in your chair, stretching your arms with a sigh.

Ilias, ever the dramatist, makes a show of settling in across from you, propping his chin in his hands. “You’re unusually quiet,” he muses. “Brooding, even.”

“No.”

“Hmm.” He taps a finger against the table. “That was an awfully long pause for a simple ‘no.’”

You roll your eyes but don’t bother arguing. Instead, you glance out the window, watching the people moving along the street, the steady glow of passing headlights. The café hums around you—low conversations, the occasional clatter of a cup against its saucer. It’s late, but not late enough to leave just yet.

Ilias orders something sweet, drumming his fingers absently against the table while he waits. You sip the last of your now-cold coffee, your mind still lingering elsewhere. A glance at your notes does little to pull you back. The thought won’t let go.

You don’t even realize you’re frowning at your notes until Ilias nudges your cup with his own.

"Thinking about your not-a-date?" he teases, grinning.

You glare at him half-heartedly, but there’s no real heat behind it. “Thinking,” you say simply.

Eventually, Ilias finishes his pastry, brushing crumbs from his fingers before stretching with a yawn.

The two of you step outside together, the shift from the café’s warmth to the crisp night air making you shiver. The city has quieted, the usual rush of movement settling into a steadier rhythm. You walk side by side for a while, boots clicking against the pavement, the hum of distant traffic filling the spaces between conversation. 

Even as Ilias chatters on about something inconsequential, the ideas still linger at the edge of your mind, waiting to take shape. 

By the next morning, the café is a memory drowned out by the quiet rustle of students filling the lecture hall. The usual pre-class murmur settles into a steady rhythm—books thudding against desks, the sharp clicking of laptop keys, the low hum of voices exchanging half-hearted speculations on today’s topic. 

You slide into your usual seat at the front, your notes open in front of you, though your pen remains idle between your fingers. The thoughts that have followed you since the library refuse to resolve, circling just beyond reach. There’s something missing—something foundational, yet frustratingly unformed.

At the lectern, Anaxagoras sets down his drink with practiced ease, the cup making a soft, deliberate sound against the wooden surface. The hall quiets. 

He surveys the room with that same composed intensity, his gaze flickering over the assembled students before settling briefly—too briefly—on you.

“Continuity,” he begins, his voice carrying effortlessly, “is a deceptively simple concept. We assume that when two systems interact, they influence each other only at the moment of contact. That once they separate, the interaction ends.”

You straighten slightly. A slow prickle of recognition runs down your spine.

Anaxagoras picks up a piece of chalk and sketches a familiar equation on the board—one you’ve seen before, but never in this exact context. Your fingers tighten around your pen.

“But,” he continues, underlining a key term, “this assumes a linear, local model of influence. What happens, then, if we acknowledge that certain interactions leave something… persistent? That even after separation, a trace remains?”

The rustling of papers around you barely registers. Your thoughts lurch forward, bridging gaps in ways they hadn’t before.

You shift, almost without realizing, and Anaxagoras glances in your direction—briefly, but with intent. He knows.

A student two seats over raises a hand. “Are you talking about quantum entanglement?”

Anaxagoras tilts his head slightly. “A useful analogy, but not a perfect one. Entanglement suggests an instantaneous connection regardless of distance. What I am asking is more fundamental—does influence itself persist, even outside direct interaction?”

A murmur ripples through the hall. A few students exchange looks, some hurriedly scribbling notes, others frowning as they try to grasp the implications.

Your heart beats a fraction faster as the pieces align. The answer should be simple. If two variables are no longer in contact, the influence should end. The system should reset. But—

“They don’t go back to what they were before,” you murmur, half to yourself.

Anaxagoras sets the chalk down. “Louder.”

The words form before hesitation can stop them. “Even apart, they still retain the effect of their interaction. They update each other, whether they remain in proximity or not.”

The silence that follows is the kind that shifts the atmosphere of a room. Not an absence of sound, but a space filled with quiet recognition.

Anaxagoras watches you, his expression unreadable, but you swear something flickers in his gaze.

You grip your pen tighter. “There’s a kind of imprint,” you continue, voice steadier now. “An effect that doesn’t disappear even after separation. A persistence beyond time or proximity.”

He nods once, the movement precise. “Nonlinear. Nonlocal.”

A slow breath escapes you.

The clock on the wall ticks forward. A student coughs. Someone flips a page too loudly. The world presses back in, indifferent to the shape of revelation.

Anaxagoras turns away first, back to the board, where the equation remains half-finished. He picks up the chalk again, his voice returning to its usual cadence, folding the moment neatly back into lecture. 

His gaze flickers back to you for a moment—steady, contemplative, threaded with something unreadable. Interest, perhaps. Amusement, restrained but evident in the slight tilt of his head. And then, just low enough for only you to hear:

“You were closer than you thought.”

You exhale, staring at the marginalia scrawled in the edges of your notebook—sharp, decisive, yet somehow restrained. Outside the window, the campus air carries the crisp scent of rain—not quite fallen, not quite gone. And yet, the thought lingers, refusing to leave you.

Dev Pile 2025-11 — Blood And Bones

Starting next week, I will be in a classroom with a bunch of students talking about ideation and experimentation. That’s going to involve some generative tools and showing them ways that they can use those tools to launch off ideas. My plan is to take them the skeleton of Moonshiners and show them the way that these tools can be used to generate the templates of card faces. Then, when I have those concept assets generated, I can show them the steps I go through to take those ideas and make them into my own.

The aim here is to demonstrate the use of these tools as a kind of word calculator. I use Excel to do math for me, and I use it to generate random things. I use texture libraries and public domain art, I know that there is a value to having convenient things to prime the pump, to set up a template.

Anyway, because I have Moonshiners in a skeletal form, and I want to use that class exercise to demonstrate the process on that skeleton, what I’m going to do this week is talk a bit about progress on Bloodwork.

LaunchTableTop is my current toolkit for game making. This means that I have a good framework for volume of cards I can jam in a box, and, indeed, the box itself. I can look at the example of Cafe Romantica, our game they’ve printed, and use that as my framework for how many pieces I want to go into a box. That’s about 120 cards, and some tokens.

Bloodwork is meant to be an asymmetrical game with symmetrical pieces. That is, the players are both playing clans of vampires, and Old Vampires and Young Vampires treat their resources very differently. The Old Vampires have institutional power and can carry resources from turn to turn, with a slowly growing base of power. They’re supposed to win end games, but also take some time ‘waking up,’ while Young Vampires have to recruit and construct themselves out of what’s available. There’s a common area, called the Street, which has resources in it that players can access, but will react differently based on what gang they are.

Stuff in Bloodwork is meant to be therefore, just a set of player mats, showing the nature of your gang and how to play them, fundamentally:

There’s a vampire that’s a multi-level marketing scam, arranging its cards in a pyramid. The start of the game, this player takes 24 cards, and deals them out face-down in front of them. Each turn, they take one of these cards and flip it face up, then takes an action based on what’s visible in that tier for that clan. Originally, this was going to rely on dice rolls to trigger cascades in the organisation. They still care about what’s in the street, though, because while they can’t recruit, any thralls in the pyramid can be swapped with Vampires in the Street, and, they can exploit figures in the Street to get bonus actions.

There’s a vampire that’s running a cryptocurrency scam. They have a resource that drags Thralls out of the Street automatically, and they follow one of four different fake currencies they have going on. At the beginning of their turn, their weakest cryptocurrency (with the fewest thralls) collapses, losing all its thralls and that’s the amount of resources they get to work with that turn. They have to spend resources to establish a new cryptocurrency to call Thralls back, and at the end of their turn, these thralls are dealt out at random between their currencies.

Then there’s the vampire that’s running a police force. Their organisation is a single line. Every turn, they pick a card in their line to ‘retire’ and it fires off everything on one side or the other, then slides the rest in place. This means that they have their existing power structure, and it does change and have good or bad days, but it’s just a matter of rearranging who’s in charge.

The idea I’m currently brewing here is the idea that any given game of Bloodwork has to feature an Old vampire and a New Vampire building out of a shared common deck, where the Old Vampire has the victory condition in their deck somehow, and it’s the job of the Young Vampire gang to find it out. That means the Young Vampire can be aggressive and have limited ways to handle being attacked, while the Old Vampire can be defensive and have limited ways to handle doing damage. In a lot of ways I’m borrowing from the concept space of Netrunner with this idea.

In the original form of the game, it was based on Liar’s Dice; players would roll a dice and then tell the truth or lie about what in their tableau fired. But you could lie, and another player could call you out, and if they did call you out, it meant you’d given up paying attention to one of a small pool of victory-point jackpots known as the ancient tombs.

In this new idea, the game becomes straight up head to head, but where Netrunner was a game of asymmetrical pieces with a pre-emptive deckbuild, the Old Vampires get a cache of cards to start with, and they view the street as a place to play, a way to deploy threats. They can rile up vampires on the street, making Young Vampires have to deal with them, or fight them, before they can recruit them. They can deprive the Young Vampires of access to Thralls, and choke off their resources.

That means the game is going to feature these Young/Old playmats, then along with that a collection of 120+ish cards. Of those cards, the majority will be Thralls, Vampires, Resources and Events, and then there will be the return to those Ancient Tombs that the Old Vampires are protecting as a base of their power, for consolidation and control. They’ll have the same back as other cards – and depending on what the Old Vampire is doing, those cards will rest in some space or other that other Vampires can try and attack.

Mid Year Book Freakout Tag

tagged by @pronouncingitwang TY CRYSTAL! I had so much fun scouring my shelf for pictures for this!

1. Number of books you've read so far

okay. started? 15-ish. finished? ...three? but hey look at all the books that still live on my nighstand/in front of the bookshelf (there is no more room actually on the shelves)/in my tote bag because i'm in the middle of reading them:

2. Best book you've read so far in 2025

The one that has stuck in my head the longest is Chain-Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (although I'm technically still not done with it. It's the book I read when I donate plasma, because that's just enough time to spend 30 minutes reading it and then the other 30 digesting what I just read. I've been slowly getting through it since November)

3. Best sequel you've read so far in 2025

Flight from Nevèrÿon by Samuel R Delany. I don't know if I love Delany's books, but they intrigue me so much that he's definitely in the running for my favorite sci-fi/speculative author of all time, and it's infinitely more compelling to me to fight with a text rather than like it.

(To be fair, the only other sequel I've read this year is The Great Hunt, Wheel of Time #2, and I am not a fan of Robert Jordan's prose, so the Nevèrÿon series is the clear winner by a country mile.)

4. New release you haven't read yet but want to

The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar! It's on hold at the library :)

5. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year

I got to meet L.P. Hernandez, the co-founder of the small speculative horror imprint Sobelo Books, at the end of last year, and since then I've been keeping my eye on their line-up. They've got a fair amount of short story collections on their docket that look cool.

6. Biggest surprise favorite author

Mark Fisher! My sister had to read Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative for her Poli Sci class this last semester. She doesn't have a philosophy or literary analysis background, so it was difficult for her to parse.

So I (only part-time employed, live like 20 feet away from her, fucking love philosophy) decided to read it with her, annotate her copy, and debrief every chapter before her class discussions!

(handwriting reveal lmao)

I'll have you know that her prof told her on several occasions that her contributions to the class discussions were exactly what he was looking for, so I consider the job well done. :)

We may work on The Struggle to Be Gay--In Mexico, For Example by Roger N Lancaster together this next semester, since she liked reading her class assignments with me so much.

7. Newest fictional crush

That's not really how I interact with fiction I read right now, but I will say that as I read through the Wheel of Time, I get the most angry about how Robert Jordan doesn't understand Egwene at all.

I may have a spiel about how writing Egwene as A Woman TM from the perspective of someone who is extremely into her but is also Awkward Around Women and Doesn't Understand Why They Do What They Do creates dramatically ironic moments where the point is that the reader goes: oh ha ha Rand has no idea that Egwene likes him back, but if you step outside of that framework, the only in-character explanation for her actions is that she has no character agency. She would not fucking do that if the text didn't want to have a moment where Rand misunderstands her.

Does that make sense? Like I can see that she as a character is making choices that turn her into a sexy lamp and I am mad about it because the only reason is that Rand, the pov character, is obtuse enough to not know that she's doing that on purpose.

8. Book that made you cry

Chain-Gang All Stars.

9. Most beautiful book you've bought or received this year

Gonna turn this question around to tell you what the most beautiful book I made and gave away this year (technically the tail end of last year) was!

I got very into hand-binding books for Christmas, and I hand-printed and bound a copy of Dracula for my sister.

I am so proud of embroidering the cover and making the endpapers and putting this whole thing together for her :)

10. Book that made you happy

Jose Miranda's Marx and the Bible made me more hopeful about the foundations of Liberation Theology and how to implement it or truly just talk about it in Christian circles.

11. What books do you need to read by the end of the year?

NEED to finish reading the last couple chapters of House of Leaves. I've been working on it for over a year. I talk about it to other people as if I've definitely already finished it. So I just need to...pick it up and finish it. Easier said than done.

Tagging:

Programming object lesson of the day:

A couple days ago, one of the side project apps I run (rpthreadtracker.com) went down for no immediately obvious reason. The issue seems to have ended up being that the backend was running on .NET Core 2.2, which the host was no longer supporting, and I had to do a semi-emergency upgrade of all the code to .NET Core 6, a pretty major update that required a lot of syntactic changes and other fixes.

This is, of course, an obvious lesson in keeping an eye on when your code is using a library out of date enough not to be well supported anymore. (I have some thoughts on whether .NET Core 2.2 is old enough to have been dumped like this, but nevertheless I knew it was going out of LTS and could have been more prepared.) But that's all another post.

What really struck me was how valuable it turned out to be that I had already written an integration test suite for this application.

Historically, at basically every job I've worked for and also on most of my side projects, automated testing tends to be the thing most likely to fall by the wayside. When you have 376428648 things you want to do with an application and only a limited number of hours in the day, getting those 376428648 things to work feels very much like the top priority. You test them manually to make sure they work, and think, yeah, I'll get some tests written at some point, if I have time, but this is fine for now.

And to be honest, most of the time it usually is fine! But a robust test suite is one of those things that you don't need... until you suddenly REALLY FUCKING NEED IT.

RPTT is my baby, my longest running side project, the one with the most users, and the one I've put the most work into. So in a fit of side project passion and wanting to Do All The Right Things For Once, I actively wrote a massive amount of tests for it a few years ago. The backend has a full unit test suite that is approaching 100% coverage (which is a dumb metric you shouldn't actually stress about, but again, a post for another day). I also used Postman, an excellently full-featured API client, to write a battery of integration tests which would hit all of the API endpoints in a defined order, storing variables and verifying values as it went to take a mock user all the way through their usage life cycle.

And goddamn was that useful to have now, years later, as I had to fix a metric fuckton of subtle breakage points while porting the app to the updated framework. With one click, I could send the test suite through every endpoint in the backend and get quick feedback on everywhere that it wasn't behaving exactly the way it behaved before the update. And when I was ready to deploy the updated version, I could do so with solid confidence that from the front end's perspective, nothing would be different and everything would slot correctly into place.

I don't say this at all to shame anyone for not prioritizing writing tests - I usually don't, especially on my side projects, and this was a fortuitous outlier. But it was a really good reminder of why tests are a valuable tool in the first place and why they do deserve to be prioritized when it's possible to do so.

Witchcraft Ask Game

What drew you to witchcraft?

It’s a funny story that I habitually tell (I may make another post about it later, haha). When I was in high school I was pretty intensely bullied. It was a small school, so most of the people that harassed me were paired up with one of the girls from the ‘popular’ brigade- athletes, cheerleaders, drama queens, etc. I started learning to tell fortunes as a novelty, something to entertain these girls, because I knew that their boyfriends wouldn’t beat on me in front of them. After that, it was a rabbit hole of talismans, sigils, and spellcraft. At some point I ended up telling fortunes professionally, for a shop, where I met the love of my life. I think I got the good end of it.

Do you follow a specific witchcraft tradition, or are you eclectic?

Not a tradition, no; my craft has migrated to be mostly practical and opportunist, with a sprinkling of whatever I understand and can use properly, with a distinct respect for closed traditions; I have been known to wander the campus telling fortunes for college kids, and make charms at times.

Do you believe in the Threefold Law, or karma in witchcraft?

No. Any definition of karma that I have heard has been through the wringer of misrepresentation so many times as to be unrecognizable, and the Threefold law is tripe designed to scare-monger people out of doing baneful magic. I believe that there will be equal consequences for any action, and that anyone with half a brain can run from those consequences, but the wise will know when the risk isn’t worth the gain. 

What advice would you give to someone who feels called to witchcraft but is unsure where to begin?

Misinformation abounds, so don’t accept any unbacked claims. The practice is deeply personal, and should be treated with similar privacy to the rest of your matters. This isn’t a hobby or a LARP, it’s a framework for changing your life. Similarly, other people’s practice will be different and equally deserving of respect, until it infringes on you. 

What tools or items are absolutely essential for your practice?

Essential is a stretch- some form of sortilege, a focus like a wand or crsytal, pen and paper, and access to the outdoors. Comfortably I would also have kitchen supplies, my amulet and scourge, and access to a library. 

Have you ever had a dream or vision that felt prophetic?

Several, but most notably: my father was working on the engine block in his truck. The hood was precariously suspended, and I heard a howl of agony somewhere far-off. I started towards him to stop the hood from falling, only for it to drop seconds later while my father let out that same wail, the hood having crushed the bones of his right hand.

What do you think of Aleister Crowley?

The man was utterly insane. What started out as a well-intended project to help the budding neo-pagan community flourish and release itself from the will of others became nothing more than a demented power trip fueled by megalomania by the end. His early work was excellent, but the man was utterly despicable otherwise.

Do you think witches can create their own deities?

There is a modern Christian saying that appeals to me here- that anything you devote yourself to becomes God. I think this has always been true. I don’t think deities exist without us. 

How do you feel about people worshiping deities from pop culture?

For clout? Iffy. Because they admire a quality associated with that character, and wish to see more of it in themselves? Rock on, little dudes. Worship Miku if it means you feel cute, musical and powerful. Worship fucking Tyrael if it means you understand the cost of true justice. Hell, worship Ragatha if it makes you a better and more empathetic friend. Just don’t forget what gods are for, yeah?

What’s your opinion on the idea that "all magic comes with a cost"?

See question 3, with the added caveat of this: Do you not think that the effort of gathering the herbs, studying the moon phases, writing the sigils, and showing up for the ritual is essentially paying for the magic? 

What’s the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to you during a spell?

I jokingly poured a bit of my ice water on the ground when it was barely starting to rain, and said ‘make it a good one.’ The clouds immediately began to darken, as if to say  ‘challenge accepted’, and the ensuing thunderstorm was the biggest in the valley in nearly three years.

If you could cast one spell right now, what would it be and why?

Probably the sigil I’ve been working on to seek purpose in my life. Feeling directionless lately. 

What’s your belief on the afterlife, and how does it affect your spiritual practices?

I hold the unique idea that we all go to the afterlife that, in the final all-consuming moment of peace or panic before death, we believe we deserve. I try not to do things that reflect poorly on my own moral boundaries as a result.

What’s your opinion on the importance of connecting with the land in witchcraft?

I haven’t noticed it to be necessary, just convenient and more personal overall. 

How do you feel about using magic to influence others?

I don’t like doing it. I don’t think it’s my right to choose. However, I acknowledge that by leaving my spells vague enough, I am still influencing actions that aren’t mine. I think that the best-intended magic will be performed through the right channels, but you should never influence somebody because of selfishness or a belief that you know better than them.

What’s your opinion on hexing or cursing?

Neutral; do it if necessary, but account for bystanders that might be harmed by the broader effects of your magic. 

Do you believe in spiritual psychosis?

Yes, having experienced it myself; I know that people can be driven to actions or beliefs that just don’t hold up to inspection by the errant belief in something deranged. Worse, if they sound convincing enough or have enough influence, they can arrange entire legions of victims ready to defend their cause, and thus the narrative that is harming them, to the death. 

When it was happening to me, I had to stop doing magic and start examining my world more closely. I was lucky enough to have people that helped me through that process. I can only hope the same for anyone else going through it, because it’s scary at times.

#Playstation7 #framework #BasicArchitecture #RawCode #RawScript #Opensource #DigitalConsole

To build a new gaming console’s digital framework from the ground up, you would need to integrate several programming languages and technologies to manage different aspects of the system. Below is an outline of the code and language choices required for various parts of the framework, focusing on languages like C++, Python, JavaScript, CSS, MySQL, and Perl for different functionalities.

1. System Architecture Design (Low-level)

• Language: C/C++, Assembly

• Purpose: To program the low-level system components such as CPU, GPU, and memory management.

• Example Code (C++) – Low-Level Hardware Interaction:

#include <iostream>

int main() {

// Initialize hardware (simplified example)

std::cout << "Initializing CPU...\n";

// Set up memory management

std::cout << "Allocating memory for GPU...\n";

// Example: Allocating memory for gaming graphics

int* graphicsMemory = new int[1024]; // Allocate 1KB for demo purposes

std::cout << "Memory allocated for GPU graphics rendering.\n";

// Simulate starting the game engine

std::cout << "Starting game engine...\n";

delete[] graphicsMemory; // Clean up

return 0;

}

2. Operating System Development

• Languages: C, C++, Python (for utilities)

• Purpose: Developing the kernel and OS for hardware abstraction and user-space processes.

• Kernel Code Example (C) – Implementing a simple syscall:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main() {

// Example of invoking a custom system call

syscall(0); // System call 0 - usually reserved for read in UNIX-like systems

printf("System call executed\n");

return 0;

}

3. Software Development Kit (SDK)

• Languages: C++, Python (for tooling), Vulkan or DirectX (for graphics APIs)

• Purpose: Provide libraries and tools for developers to create games.

• Example SDK Code (Vulkan API with C++):

#include <vulkan/vulkan.h>

VkInstance instance;

void initVulkan() {

VkApplicationInfo appInfo = {};

appInfo.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_APPLICATION_INFO;

appInfo.pApplicationName = "GameApp";

appInfo.applicationVersion = VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 0, 0);

appInfo.pEngineName = "GameEngine";

appInfo.engineVersion = VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 0, 0);

appInfo.apiVersion = VK_API_VERSION_1_0;

VkInstanceCreateInfo createInfo = {};

createInfo.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO;

createInfo.pApplicationInfo = &appInfo;

vkCreateInstance(&createInfo, nullptr, &instance);

std::cout << "Vulkan SDK Initialized\n";

}

4. User Interface (UI) Development

• Languages: JavaScript, HTML, CSS (for UI), Python (backend)

• Purpose: Front-end interface design for the user experience and dashboard.

• Example UI Code (HTML/CSS/JavaScript):

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Console Dashboard</title>

<style>

body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #282c34; color: white; }

.menu { display: flex; justify-content: center; margin-top: 50px; }

.menu button { padding: 15px 30px; margin: 10px; background-color: #61dafb; border: none; cursor: pointer; }

</style>

</head>

<body>

<div class="menu">

<button onclick="startGame()">Start Game</button>

<button onclick="openStore()">Store</button>

</div>

<script>

function startGame() {

alert("Starting Game...");

}

function openStore() {

alert("Opening Store...");

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

5. Digital Store Integration

• Languages: Python (backend), MySQL (database), JavaScript (frontend)

• Purpose: A backend system for purchasing and managing digital game licenses.

• Example Backend Code (Python with MySQL):

import mysql.connector

def connect_db():

db = mysql.connector.connect(

host="localhost",

user="admin",

password="password",

database="game_store"

)

return db

def fetch_games():

db = connect_db()

cursor = db.cursor()

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM games")

games = cursor.fetchall()

for game in games:

print(f"Game ID: {game[0]}, Name: {game[1]}, Price: {game[2]}")

db.close()

fetch_games()

6. Security Framework Implementation

• Languages: C++, Python, Perl (for system scripts)

• Purpose: Ensure data integrity, authentication, and encryption.

• Example Code (Python – Encrypting User Data):

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

# Generate a key for encryption

key = Fernet.generate_key()

cipher_suite = Fernet(key)

# Encrypt sensitive user information (e.g., account password)

password = b"SuperSecretPassword"

encrypted_password = cipher_suite.encrypt(password)

print(f"Encrypted Password: {encrypted_password}")

# Decrypting the password

decrypted_password = cipher_suite.decrypt(encrypted_password)

print(f"Decrypted Password: {decrypted_password}")

7. Testing and Quality Assurance

• Languages: Python (for automated tests), Jest (for JavaScript testing)

• Purpose: Unit testing, integration testing, and debugging.

• Example Unit Test (Python using unittest):

import unittest

def add(a, b):

return a + b

class TestGameFramework(unittest.TestCase):

def test_add(self):

self.assertEqual(add(10, 20), 30)

if __name__ == '__main__':

unittest.main()

8. Order of Implementation

• Phase 1: Focus on core system architecture (low-level C/C++) and OS development.

• Phase 2: Develop SDK and start building the basic framework for UI and input management.

• Phase 3: Work on backend systems like the digital store and integrate with front-end UI.

• Phase 4: Begin rigorous testing and debugging using automated test suites.

This comprehensive approach gives you a detailed idea of how each component can be built using a combination of these languages and technologies. Each section is modular, allowing teams to work on different aspects of the console simultaneously.

Clones and Features

A back-end programmer who is fluent in his programming language of choice, database/ORM, web framework, plain HTML or whatever CSS template, javascript library, or front-end framework, can probably write his own simplified version of Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Wordpress, or StackOverflow over one weekend.

If it doesn't need to scale past five users or the proof-of-concept stage, our programmer could even write his own little live streaming or video sharing site.

Of course, if you wanted to approximate the features of the real Tumblr, of Reddit, of StackOverflow, it would take you years, and writing a bare-bones version that could actually scale to serve thousands of users could take you a month, not a week-end.

This matters less than you might think. You can attract early users because you wrote a bare-bones clone of something else. You can attract contributors because the code base is small and easy to understand. You can attract people who want to shape the feel and the tone of a new community. You can attract users who want something small that doesn't eat their RAM.

These people are early adopters not because they know what will later become popular, but because they like using software that is new, or joining communities that are small. A major driver of the adoption of mastodon in 2017 wasn't that Mastodon wasn't Twitter, or that Mastodon was better than twitter, but that the Fediverse is smaller than Twitter. It's not novelty. It's the cosy feeling of a small community.

The main problem of writing your own YouTube clone is not how you scale video storage and delivery to millions of users. The problem is managing your community as it grows to a thousand. The problem is how you retain the first couple dozens of knowledgeable answerers who joined precisely because your Q&A site wasn't StackOverflow. The problem is deciding whether you need cash-tags, or if feature parity with Twitter isn't really worth it.
