Engineer is the first to figure out that something is up with those robots… 🤔

I still have a bunch of ideas for this AU and just wanted to draw some of those scenes! :)

This takes place directly after Portal 1, since Chell isn‘t dragged back down into the facility. So she doesn‘t know Wheatley yet and Doug is still around!

I believe that's what the kids call aura

Sundial mentioned! Random lines in one of the battlegrounds. It feels like not even Ikora knows the full extent of it. The "paracausal disruption" is, I assume, the shotgun. It's what tied us to Saint and made sure we're only ever interacting with one of them. Most importantly, with the right one, contrary to what Saint believes now.

I feel like the shotgun might be brought up somehow again. They already told us Perfect Paradox will return in Act 2, but it's not available yet. So maybe at a specific point during the story? Either next week or week after. Maybe it might be a point to convince Saint or explain things to him. Eagerly waiting to see if any of this will be further explored; the Sundial, what we did to save Saint and the Perfect Paradox are all fairly important.

Colorcat Evolution is out!

This game simulates evolution and natural selection using colorful three-legged cat creatures. Their colours represent their stats: overall brightness is health, amount of red is speed, green is defense, and blue is how social they are. The kitties will roam their little world and occasionally produce offspring by mixing their genes with each other, and the offspring will be slightly mutated... or not so slightly, if you choose to raise the radiation levels. The genetic changes will accumulate over time and gradually affect the entire population. You can play around with the initial setup of the simulation and natural conditions during it, and even control the critters and try to ensure the survival of their families yourself. Hope you have fun! Let me know if you have any suggestions and whatnot.

back to my roots with this one (drawing skinned android, now even MORE skinned. just endoskeleton)

I don't know if anyone cares or not, but I ran a memorial service in honour of Britt Allcroft yesterday

i realize pointing this out will make a bunch of people notice it for the first time but idc: i think one of my funniest art weaknesses is i lowkey cannot draw boobs. i can bs my way around them enough to get by but they just do not make sense to my brain and i constantly forget they exist

Today's Fact: Did you know Trains are the reason New Hyrule has Standardized Time Zones? As citizens needed to know when to get to a train station, the council lobbied for standardized time that could be applied precisely for travel by train! The entire modern perception of time is because of the Train!

⌛️ forestchild Follow

Thanks, I hate it. Lets go back to living by the sun rise and set.

🌸 dont-look-at-me Follow

??? We've always had standard time zones??? What are you talking about. Trains didn't invent that.

🚋 train-life Follow

...they literally did. I re-researched this to double check. What are YOU talking about?

🌸 dont-look-at-me Follow

Time zones? Like. The era of Legend, the Golden era, bullfish like that?

🚋 train-life Follow

... you can swear you know? I'm 12 not a baby.

you're HOW OLD? I thought you were a Royal Engineer???

🚋 train-life Follow

12? It's in my bio?

I love you but get the hell off of this website why are you here

🌟 excuuuse-me Follow

Can we go back to the weirdo who thinks Time Zones are HISTORICAL PERIODS?

Hey apparently I need to update people on my boundaries. So. Here is a list of what's okay:

Hugging

Kissing me

Kissing me directly on the lips

👀

Parasocial relationships where you praise me constantly <3

And this is NOT okay

Hunting me for my blood to revive the prince of darkness

Ignoring me

Thank you, that's really all, I'm kinda sad that this has to be said but clarity is wisdom and all.

�� princess-of-hyrule Follow

Link. This is not what I told you to post.

🌟 excuuuse-me Follow

Well EXUSe ME if my boundaries look different than yours!!

Hey pulled the Four Sword again so we need help figuring out who gets to run the blog lol.

Thanks everybody

⏳️ forestchild Follow

Lol this loser doesn't know how to make sideblogs

🎶 ocarina-macarina Follow

The poll says "Who gets to be Link on MAIN" though, so maybe they do? They just wanna have one person in charge of the first blog?

⏳️ forestchild Follow

The path to truth is unity. Many voices can be heard within one "main".

-The Diety

⏳️ forestchild Follow

...ignore him, I've made him a sideblog and he refuses to use it.

⚒️ smol-smithy Follow

Hey wait no let him come back, he's the only smart person I've ever heard

-Green (?)

⚒️ smol-smithy Follow

I am going to kill you.

#we have all agreed to not utilize this blog until the poll is complete #so shut up green

Shoutout to Nino's Productions for an AWESOME re-write of the infamous 2011 special Day Of The Diesels which just premiered!

[theredengineapologist]

I plugged in Thomas the Tank Engine characters into the Hunger Games Simulator. Here's how it went.

To begin, here's the tribute lineup! Unfortunately, the program wouldn't take any of the image urls I tried to enter so we're just gonna have to use our imaginations.

The horn has sounded! What is everyone's first move?

Oof! Looks like we've already got 2(3?) eliminations folks! Say goodbye to Bertie, Annie, and (probably) Duck.

Honestly Bill stealing from Boco is very on brand for him. XD

Damn. We lost a lot of Steam Team members this round. And it's only the first day. *sad salute*

Here's who we have left after only just one day. The "Magic Railroad" duo really be out for blood.

First night, here we go!

Damn, I guess Henrietta and Percy couldn't take it anymore. Sad. :(

Status Check:

Continuing into Night 2.

GODAMN BILL KILLED HIS OWN BROTHER!!!

Day 3 Status Check. I'm placing my bet right now, I think Bill is going to win. It would be the funniest and most in-character thing for him to do:

Bill is out for blood. We're also down to our last Steam Team member.

Day 4 Status Check. Bill has officially surpassed Diesel 10 for most kills.

The engines who have killed have now killed the one engine who HASN'T committed a murder.

NOOOO! BILL I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!

We are now down to our last three tributes.

The tension is brewing.

And in an unexpected turn of events, Diesel 10 throws the game.

AND THE WINNER IS DOUGLAS!!!

CONGRATULATIONS DOUGLAS STANS! YOUR BOY HAS WON THE GAMES!

And here are the final placements for the Thomas and Friends Hunger Games.

So I caved and made an evolution simulator of those three-legged cats from the "TEALING IS AGAINST THE LAW" comic.

The way I did it is by giving them a bunch of stats that change by a random small amount every time they reproduce. The stats are represented by their color, with overall brightness meaning health, the amount of red meaning speed, green meaning defense, and blue meaning how social they are.

Here's the world from the above screenshot after a century of evolution. The population of this run got lucky and their stats are now literally off the charts thanks to natural selection!

ignore the insanely long average lifespan lol they dont actually live that long i just messed up the math somehow

The kitties' incredibly catchy names consist of their generation, family, and index within that family. PR and RR stand for poison & radiation resistance - some trees are poisonous, and the radiation level (which affects how mutated the children can be) slowly drains the cattos' health.

The white lines point towards their children, and green ones towards their parents. Usually they'll only reproduce if their overall population is less than 81, otherwise they'll just run around until they die, decreasing the population.

They also have a simple AI that makes them approach their current object of interest, such as another colorcat or a tree with yummy fruits, and run away from their current object of avoidance, such as a poisonous tree or an aggressive colorcat.

Here's some examples of antisocial colorcats who punch everyone they come across.

This has been lots of fun to program and play around with! I'll make it available very soon, just gotta make a trailer or something.
