geared up ⚔︎

If The Acolyte had gotten a second season, I feel like they would have revealed that the soul Mae and Osha share will become Anakin's after their story reached its planned conclusion.

It can't be an accident that Mae and Osha were so similar to Anakin, but just a little off because they were born wrong. Osha's struggle with autonomy and self-worth, paired with Mae's unhealthy attachment issues feel like pieces Anakin.

Sure it could be coincidence, or even the writers playing with previous dynamics, but they kept hitting us over the head that Osha and Mae were raised to believe that they SHOULD be one person. That they were born of the Force, but were born wrong because their existence was not of the Force's will. And the only way they for them to be right is to be one, but to truly be one they should have been born by the Force's will, and the only one who fits that description is Anakin!

The show was probably going to conclude at their deaths in a way that harkens Anakin's birth.

GPTim having both visual and hearing disabilities is so important to me. That man’s eyes were *burned out* when he *exploded the moon* his hearing is gonna be affected also; and having functional accessibility aids (his mechanical eyes, here) does not equal not disabled, it just means that the disability manifests differently.

god i really do need to work on the mechanical goggles while im energetic

god. try 3 of kudoes and seen history ao3 extension. i have flown through THREE laptops in the past year. may this be the last time.

Sugarcube, flat stats and setter links

As I spent an unspecified time trying to figure it out, maybe it will spare someone the trouble or build towards intuition for how stats work. Or maybe this is bait to see if anyone knows a better solution 😏

First of all, flat stats vs fairmath stats. Fairmath stat accumulation is designed to represent stat gain as inversely relative: the higher your stat value, the smaller your absolute gain would be expressed by the same relative number. E.g. 10% gain at 90 is different from 10% at 15. A bonus (and very important) effect of this is that the stat value increased or decreased via fairmath will never fall below 0 or rise above 100, doing all the stat clamping for you.

Fairmath is easy to test and observe in ChoiceScript, where you can run thousands of tests automatically. You cannot do that in Twine. This is my primary motivation for going with flatmath for my SugarCube project. Which means that someone has to handle clamping, as a gain of 10 at stat value 95 will set the value above 100.

The frequent code for handling that is during change:

<<set $stat to Math.clamp($stat + 5, 0, 100)>>

which, in this example, increases variable $stat by 5 and makes sure the result is not smaller than 0 and not greater than 100: clamping.

My problem with it is how much code repetition is there and how incredibly copy paste error prone this is. You will no doubt be copy pasting this code all over your game files and will need to make sure you are replacing the variable name twice each time, lest one variable will end up with the value of another in an oversight that is way too easy to miss. Ideally we want to specify not only the name of the variable, but also our bounds (0 and 100 respectively) only once.

There are two answers to this problem: widgets and JavaScript. A widget for this is one and done, but it is more fuss to integrate it into code, I found. In the JS solution you would need to figure out a function that works for your variable storage schema.

Let's cover the widget solution first:

<<widget "modify">>     <<print '<<set ' + $args[0] + ' to Math.clamp(' + $args[0] + ' + ' + $args[1] + ', 0, 100)>>'>> <</widget>>

Not only will the above check that each resulting value is within the [0; 100] range, it accepts the variable name as a parameter, meaning it will work for any stat (though you would need to pass the variable name as a String) and for subtraction too:

<<modify "$stat" -18>>

Now to problems. For my links between passages in the format for Twine I use, SugarCube, I strongly prefer the structure of setters:

[[Link text|NextPassageName][stat modifications]]

Calling a widget is not possible inside a setter link though. You would either need to do that in the next passage, which is inconvenient if you do not need that passage for anything else, or to marry two syntaxes in this unholy matrimony:

<<link [[Link text|NextPassageName]]>>   <<set $otherstat to "wowza">>   <<modify "$stat" -18>>   <</link>>

And this is just one link/option.

Now, for the price of extra JS code you can avoid all this. Depending on how you store your game variables, flat or in objects, you can employ tricks to save you time and code lines.

window.modifyStatA = function(value) {     State.variables.StatA = Math.clamp(State.variables.StatA + value, 0, 100); }

This anywhere in your custom JS file for the game will allow to do the following:

[[Link text|NextPassageName][modifyStatA(-18), $otherstat to "wowza"]]

and will change the value of $StatA by subtracting 18 upon clicking that link/option.

You can also do the following:

window.modifyStat = function(statName, value) {     State.variables[statName] = Math.clamp(State.variables[statName] + value, 0, 100); }

which creates a more generic function:

[[Link text|NextPassageName][modifyStat("StatA", -18), $otherstat to "wowza"]]

As you can see, this is suitable for flat stat storage (which I personally do not do). I suppose for the nested stats you could specify the object names as inputs in their order of hierarchy and access them so for a generic function, but I am not sure yet how to do that for a variable number of levels, e.g. Parent.StatGroup.statA vs Parent.statB

I believe this is geared to the very specific way I personally structure my passages and links, so I am ready to be proven wrong 😅

Cheers!

The prototype is as functional as me now :3

Ah the wonders of bag lining

Eagerly we await the return of our once and future king. The M*crosoft Office landscape was never better under his tutelage. Cursed was the day he forsook us, and during the lapse in his guidance our kingdom has languished: bloated, over-developed, and unhelpful.

Here my cry, King Clippy! May ye return and save us from this subscription-model hellscape! Return and usher in the reign of Word 2003 for a century!

Finally making a timeliness design-guide for Geno from ec-4o.verse! (Just a wip tho)

[calliemity]

my plan was to make like a big 3 hour video essay about my orin project but i dont even think thats possible it might have to be a series of like, 3 seperate videos. mostly just for pacing reasons so i can focus on one section at a time
