I saw your post about dam removal. I know.

Dams can have quite a significant environmental impact But aren't they also one of the Best forms of clean power generation. Is there not a way to make dams with very little Environmental impact but still have good power. It's just that removing the dam Doesn't seem like something that would be immediately good especially when we're trying to prevent Climate change.

bottom line is that i believe the primary way to combat climate change is to drastically reduce energy use. without doing research, my first thought would be to use water mills rather than dams. because another advantage there would be the use of sustainable materials. wood can be grown locally and sustainably in a way that would reduce co2, whereas conk crete is like... not that.

oh, one way to make dams with very little environmental impact did just come to mind. beavers! 🤭

but yeah, i think it's better to start with the assumption that electricity will be a thing of the past, and then find ways to work it back in when and where you can do so sustainably (tbh im not sure that's possible, what with the needing of various metals, but im open to the possibility)

Hi, I'm sorry for this but I've been thinking of a Philomena Cunk like reader with the chain and one of her iconic words,"Brutalism is when there’s concrete. The more conk they crete, the more brutalismer it is." Or the “It’s hard to believe I’m walking through the ruins of the first ever city… because I’m not. That’s in Iraq, which is miles away and fucking dangerous.” these are the one's that stuck with me, and I've been laughing at it (I think I need help😭) (this reader is also pretty unhinged 🌝)

Admittedly, I had to look this up.

"The more conk they crete..." Oh my god. XD

This would probably be the most chaotic reader in history. Enough to drive even The Chain into wondering how on earth they're even still alive and kicking.

every time I type "omar rudberg" into the tags to tag a post I get absolutely sandblasted into the conk crete because one time. ONE TIME. i used the tag "omar got mike wazowski'd". the absolute mental distress i feel because i forget every time until im reblogging a photo of Omar. and it's fucking There. it's the first tag suggestion every time.

i just need to impart the knowledge that every time I reblog a photo of him you have to understand I suffer through "Omar is so pretty this isn't fucking FAIR lemme reblo- OH FUCK OH GOD MIKE WAZOWSKI'D!!!!!!!" and feeling like my brain was placed in a jar of jello as I attempt to start typing Rudberg so that the tag Goes Away.

Kairo

So I need to blog about Kairo, because the computers and tunnels post reminded me of this strange and beautiful game.

Kairo is what I can only describe as a surreal Brutalist walking sim puzzler. Yes, as in “the more conk they crete, the more Brutalismer it is” Brutalism. I hope you like concrete textures and cubes because Kairo has a lot of that. It’s also among the handful of games that I think have irreversibly altered my brain chemistry (positive).

Kairo came out in 2013, so I wasn’t that young and impressionable at the time, but something in this game definitely struck a chord with me. It’s relaxed, contemplative, minimalistic. Scenic despite the simplicity of it, calming despite the starkness around you. Take a look at the Steam page linked above for some screenshots to get a sense of the visual style. (I used to have a bunch of screenshots I used for desktop backgrounds at one time but they seem to have vanished, so I unfortunately am not including images in this post.)

It’s a lot of simple, geometric, Brutalism-adjacent structures in various coloured light washes. But it’s... pretty in its own way. I think this was the piece of media that helped me come around to this sort of aesthetic. Previously, like the computers-and-tunnels post, I liked a grungier, more complicated feel to my industrial spaces, a la the Half-Life games. Bit Kairo... Kairo was serene.

The sound design, too, reflects this calm starkness of everything. The soundtrack is super ambient and synthy, usually calming and occasionally spooky. There are only two tracks I could even say come close to being “intense,” those being the menu theme and one particular area that seems designed to put you a bit on edge. The artist Wounds does a great job of conveying the empty, otherworldly vistas of Kairo. (It’s great reading music, too. Check it out here.)

I was rapt when I first found it, though it certainly helped that a favourite YouTuber at the time was how I discovered it. (Playlist here, KurtJMac’s run is commentated but he’s pretty lowkey overall.)

The puzzles range from extremely simple perspective/movement puzzles to moderately challenging password puzzles, excluding two notably obtuse examples - one where you have to memorize a series of notes and play them back in a room very far away, and another that (ideally) requires you to collaborate with other players to reveal the whole solution. Both of these thankfully are optional, and can be looked up online now that the game has been out for ages. Both, I believe, are also required for the game’s secret (not “true”) ending.

I’m not sure what else to say other than give it a try/watch it. I really cant recommend it enough, honestly. It’s very cheap on Steam and isn’t terribly long, complicated, or hardware-demanding. (Though if you do play it, I recommend turning off the visual-noise filter in the settings. It’s easier to look at and looks better without it.) Kairo is less a game and more a powerful vibe, I guess? It’s a walking sim with some puzzles in it, but it has a very unique feel to it. On reflection I think it’s due for a comeback; it has a lot of the “liminal space” feel that internetizens seem to be going nuts for lately, but predates it all by a clean decade.

It’s near and dear to my heart, and a game I come back to every now and then for a chill pick-me-up.

- there is noise all the fucking time forever. I thought my hometown was noisy at night bc u can usually hear the highway from my house. But there is always SOME KIND OF SOUND happening here

- there was like 4000 jesus signs on the way up here and idk what I expected but it wasnt that

- I cannot stress how fucking tall these buildings are. This should be illegal. What the fuck

- I want so badly to just vanish into the woods and go completely off the grid where are your gddamn TREES. we went from like the most beautiful old growth I've seen outside of my mountains to just conk crete.

- the fuck is w the jointed busses. They make me think of caterpillars kinda? Idk why they like. Have them like that but they're neat

A ranking of solid minecraft blocks by edibility

1. Dried Kelp Block, Hay Bale, Melon, Mushroom Stem, Red Mushroom Block, Brown Mushroom Block. These are blocks that you can more or less break into edible components. The best of the best if you’re eating solid minecraft blocks.

2. Blue Ice, Frosted Ice, Ice, Packed Ice, Snow Block. Who doesn’t love to crunch on some ice? Add some flavored syrup and these could be snow cones.

3. Nether Wart Block, Pumpkin. Sort of food-adjacent. You can make pie out of pumpkins, and it really feels like you ought to be able to eat nether wart.

4. Leaves, Carved Pumpkin, Grass Block. You might be able to derive some nutrients from these. Probably won’t be a pleasant meal, though.

5. Purpur Block, Purpur Pillar. I was initially going to put these way lower on the list, until I realized that purpur is made out of cooked fruit, making these blocks technically fruit tarts.

6. Scaffolding. Some bamboo is edible. Dried bamboo with a side of string is less edible.

7. Shulker Box, Slime Block. Are shulkers like insects? Is a shulker box their exoskeleton? Slime blocks might be a bit like lime jello. These blocks are both monster byproducts. Probably both edible. Definitely not vegetarian.

8. Coral Block, Bone Block, Infested Chiseled Stone Bricks, Infested Cobblestone, Infested Cracked Stone Bricks, Infested Mossy Stone Bricks, Infested Stone, Infested Stone Bricks. Crunchier than is ideal, but there may be some marrow in bone blocks, and the coral animal in coral blocks, which would make both blocks potential sources of protein. Silverfish are almost definitely edible.

9. Grass Path, Dead Coral Block. You saw my approval of grass and coral as potential mediocre food sources and thought, what if I ate a deader, more trampled, worse version of that? 

10. Block of Gold. Sometimes rich people put edible gold leaf on their food for fun. You can technically eat a block of gold, but you deserve the guillotine if you do.

11. Clay, Dirt, Coarse Dirt, Podzol, Red Sand, Sand, Mycelium. If you find yourself wanting to eat these blocks, you almost definitely have pica.

12. Soul Sand. You have pica and also eat souls, I guess.

13. Log, Planks, Wood, Barrel, Bookshelf, Cartography Table, Stripped Wood, Crafting Table, Fletching Table. These are wood. Unless you’re a termite, probably don’t eat these.

14. Wool. I diagnose you with moth.

15. Sponge, Wet Sponge. Just kind of gross. Can you imagine the texture?

16. Prismarine, Prismarine Bricks, Dark Prismarine. Unknown edibility, probably too crunchy.

17. Nether Bricks, Red Nether Bricks, Smithing Table, Glazed Terracotta, Terracotta, Bricks, End Stone Bricks, Terracotta. Definitely too crunchy. Don’t eat bricks, kids.

18. Jukebox, Command Block, Dispenser, Dropper, Note Block, Observer, Redstone Lamp. Machinery is generally inedible. Don’t.

19. Block of Coal. You’ll get the gastrointestinal version of black lung.

20. Concrete, Concrete Powder. That’s conk crete, babey!! Probably don’t eat concrete, though.

21. Beacon. If you eat a beacon, do you think your body is transparent enough that the beam will go through? The light can pass through you when you stand on top of it…. You’d need to eat a beacon base too, though.

22. Andesite, Block of Diamond, Block of Emerald, Block of Iron, Block of Quartz, Block of Redstone, Chiseled Quartz Block, Chiseled Red Sandstone, Chiseled Sandstone, Chiseled Stone Bricks, Coal Ore, Cobblestone, Cracked Stone Bricks, Cut Red Sandstone, Cut Sandstone, Diamond Ore, Diorite, Emerald Ore, End Stone, Mossy Cobblestone, Mossy Stone Bricks, Nether Quartz Ore, Netherrack, Obsidian, Polished Andesite, Polished Diorite, Polished Granite, Glowstone, Gold Ore, Granite, Gravel, Iron Ore, Lapis Lazuli Block, Lapis Lazuli Ore, Smooth Quartz, Smooth Red Sandstone, Smooth Sandstone, Smooth Stone, Stone, Red Sandstone, Redstone Ore, Sandstone, Quartz Pillar. I’m not just gonna sit here and rank the edibility of all these rocks and minerals. Just don’t eat them. You’d probably break your teeth anyway.

23. Bedrock, Barrier. You’d definitely break your teeth.

24. Stained Glass, Glass, Sea Lantern. Unless your teeth are enchanted with silk touch, these will shatter in your mouth. 

25. Blast Furnace, Furnace, Smoker, Jack o'Lantern, Magma Block. Might set your mouth on fire, and not in a fun spicy way.

26. TNT. Don’t.

27. End Gateway. I have no idea what this would do to your body if you ate it. It is very pretty, though. If you eat it, eat it for science.

28. Spawner. Five word horror story: Mouth Full Of Cave Spiders.

conk crete dog is probably one of the best images out there. But it needs to be free to roam and reappear naturally.

Red’s pov of chapter five

“hey red.” “yeah, tiny baby man?” “for the love of- i’m literally taller than her. whatever, who even cares-” “sounds like you do, baby man.” “shut up. i need you to tell y/n pap and i are gonna be with the ambassador for a few days. i’ve been putting off telling her and pap’s been so busy she’s asleep when she gets home and gone before she wakes up. she’ll probably be up in a bit, and we were supposed to leave half an hour ago, according to papyrus.” “can do, small tiny baby man baby.” “ugh.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------- i’m watching some cooking show, hell’s kitchen, i think its called - reminds me of my papyrus. all of th’ sudden there’s a muffled “eugh!” from upstairs. sounds like the lady’s kickin’ around up there. well, better go tell her classic’s gone fishing. i shortcut up to just in front of her door when i hear her talkin’ to herself. “One more person with unfinished business that turns into my responsibility, I suppose.” she laughs. thats… not really funny, but hey. we’ve all gotta cope with bein’ alive somehow. “I mean, what’s not to laugh about? My life is a joke. Not even one of the good kinds, either. If it were a that’s-what-she-said joke or a John Mulaney skit I wouldn't be complaining, but no. My life is a joke told by a 34 year white man. Probably something about how his wife sucks and how he identifies as an attack helicopter. Something that you only really laugh at because if you don’t you’ll get called a slur.” she laughs again. “Wow, I’m really living my best life, huh?” ...damn. now that’s just harsh. that’s-what-she-said jokes though, eh? i’ll hafta remember that. the cat makes a weird noise an’ she shouts a little. “That’s Conk Creat, baby! Oh my stars. Have you been here all night baby boy? No wonder that towel’s got piss on it... Oh stars, Concrete, please tell me you didn’t take a shit somewhere in here too.” ok, that was pretty fuckin’ funny. i have to hold back a chuckle. that thing is such a bastard, he probably did take a shit. not so great when i consider it though... wakin’ up to that cat’s fat shit under your bed while ya have a hangover probably wouldn't be th’ most pleasant thing. “Good, you’re such a good boy, Crete. Even if you are a stupid little baby.” i resist the urge to laugh yet again as the cat starts purring like a motor. “C’mere baby boy, I think we both need a shower.” there’s a pause, then what sounds like a bell - a collar bell. hold on a sec, does th’ doll have a collar? maybe she was just so drunk she took it off..? way ta dampen my mood. though, it could always be an old collar. a relationship gone wrong. or maybe from when she was in stripes? yeah, that could be it. i’m brought back to reality by a loud sound from the cat. i don’t even know how i’d describe it, but it sure as hell wasn’t one of the noises doomfanger ever made. i sigh a little. i miss that sonuva bitch, even if all he did was kick my ass. “Alright you stinky little piss man,” she laughs. “I’ll grab myself a towel in the bathroom since you so lovingly pissed on my clean one. Lemme just get my clothes and then we’ll be off.” at this she starts walking right towards the door. shit, i’ve just been standin’ out here like a creep this whole time. i pretend like i was about ta knock right as she opens the door. “Mega Sans?” she asks, looking confused. the cat, fat bastard, just zooms t’ the bathroom, screeching. she looks back at me and laughs. i can’t help but get a little defensive - i haven’t even done anything funny. at least not yet. “...what’s so funny? ya got a problem?” i ask. “Uh, sorry, I just thought the whole ‘Mega Sans’ thing was an alcohol-induced dream. Pfft, Mega Sans…” i smirk a little. damn, just the sight of me reminds her of how puny vanilla is? off to a good start, i’d say. “You must be Sans’ relative. I have no idea if I properly introduced myself, but I’m Y/n. Y/n L/n.” she extends her free hand and i take it, bringing it to my teeth. “nice ta meetcha doll. ’m red, nilla’s-” fuck what do i say “-cousin, but you can

call me yours.” my smirk widens as she just stands there for a minute, completely speechless. “Eh heh… Right. Ok, well, I’ve gotta go take a shower and then bathe the pissboy who ran past you earlier. I’ll seeya, Yours.” she passes me as i snicker. that was pretty good, actually. wait, fuck. i forgot to tell her vanilla’s out. “heheh.. doll, uh, wait up, i was s’posed ta tell ya something. a message from… sans.” i spit nilla’s name out like it was some nasty tasting mustard. it’s so fuckin stupid. why does he get to be sans and i have to be red? just cuz this is his universe doesn’t mean he’s gotta be so up my ass about it. i get it, i don’t belong here. just lookin’ around the place reminds me i shouldn’t be here. “Oh my stars- I swear, if it’s another threat just tell him I don’t care at this point.” a threat? was that why classic’s been avoiding her? don't get me wrong, she’s a human, and dangerous as shit because of it, but seriously? she’s got a collar for fucks sake, even if she doesn’t wear it. she obviously can’t defend herself. hell, i thought that collar might’ve been vanilla’s until right now. or… maybe it is vanilla’s. my eyelights go out. “I mean, you’d think two threats and a minor breakdown would be enough, but whatever. Not like I don't get them from Parker all the time- though I suppose he wouldn’t know that.” she pauses and looks back at me. parker? that her mate? a family member? neither one is good news. “So what’s up? How should I ‘stay away from Papyrus’ this time?” she roll your eyes and makes air quotes. i wanna say something but i just can’t. th’ fuck’s this poor lady been through? this world is for creampuffs! she sure as hell didn’t have it as rough as me, but trauma recognizes trauma. ya’d think all she’d have to worry about was keeping away anyone lookin’ ta date. seems to me though she should be keepin’ away mates for a different reason. in the underground, family was all i had. just me, pap, and doomfanger. ya looked out for your family, for yer partner if ya had one, and if yer allies were so close as to live with you threats wouldn’t fly. “...Riiiiiight. Well. I guess I’ll just. Go take that shower then. Uh. Bye.” she turns back around and speedwalks to the bathroom. i think i’m gonna ask her about those threats.
