Fragment Developer

(credit to @elliott-the-creature for making this flag)

the definition is this mueheh

A fragment developer is a headmate who helps fragments or otherwise blank headmates form more, this can be done in multiple ways:

helping fragments pick out labels, names, pronouns, etc.

consuming specific media to make fragments latch onto it

scout around the innerworld to look for lost fragments

any act that actively shapes fragments into a headmate

Retconned Wardi firearms- a basic handgun, a highly decorative ceremonial handgun (belonging to Faiza), and a lance-gun.

Gun tech has officially been nerfed down to hand cannons (press F) (this has been a long time coming but I'd been fallacy of sunk costs-ing myself out of retconning).

Handguns are held similarly to a shotgun, with the butt pressed into the user's shoulder, one hand gripping under the barrel, and the other free to ignite the gunpowder. These represent the most advanced firearms in contemporary usage, both in make and in their use of uniform iron projectiles built to match the gun's bore for greater range and efficiency. Lance-guns are the more basal form, usually larger and mounted with the pole held over the shoulder, and are most effectively used by two people (one to hold and aim, one to light the gunpowder).

The spread of firearms is currently mostly limited to the Eastern Inner Seaway peoples (with some additional distribution via overland trade), and actual manufacture of hand cannons and gunpowder at Significant scale is limited to the region's core powers.

The reason for this limited spread is partially due to specific elements of the technology's history. Gunpowder was first synthesized by Burri alchemists and considered to be the discovery of the legendary divine weapon + solar fire of the deity Inanariya, and its formula (along with techniques for ideally refining its components) remained a closely guarded state secret. It was used predominantly in priestly contexts to generate flame and explosive sounds (in conjunction with earlier practices of generating multicolored flames with use of other chemicals), then integrated into combustible weaponry in the forms of fire lances, which would eventually develop into early handcannons.

The treatment of gunpowder as a guarded sacred or semi-sacred substance continued with Wardi adoption, where knowledge of its making is considered a closed rite. It's name (inya tsatsul or just tsatsul, a derived adoption of the Burri iñazatsūya) still reflects a divine solar association (the Burri word means 'sun's thunder', the Wardi 'inya' invokes the sun, 'tsatsul' is an adapted loanword and has no meaning independent of the substance itself), though its priestly use is now predominantly associated with the firearm'ed Odonii (rather than priests of the solar Face Inyamache). The composition of gunpowder can no longer be regarded as a Secret by any means, though efforts to obscure the methods of its creation are still moderately successful and has kept knowledge of gunpowder manufacture more limited than the total sphere of firearm usage itself.

The actual strongest limiting factor of firearm usage is the rarity of natural saltpeter deposits necessary for making gunpowder. The practice of actively producing saltpeter via nitraries has not been developed anywhere in the setting, and all is instead obtained via natural sources. These sources are rare and limited within the current spread of firearm technology, and result in gunpowder being a limited and expensive substance to produce. The weapons themselves are also very expensive to manufacture (a good quality steel SWORD is far too material-cost prohibitive for most people to own), particularly high quality firearms designed for use with standardized ammunition.

These guns are also very basal, and logistical difficulties in their use (weight, very slow loading and firing speed, high visibility, Relatively low reach and accuracy) along with the restrictive cost of production has kept firearms far from rendering conventional weaponry, armor, and projectiles obsolete (even within the societies that have access to them). They are still, however, very devastating in use within their contemporary context, particularly in that high quality guns have a longer range than the best arrow-based projectiles, and utterly negate most contemporary forms of armor at close range.

I need to share my thoughts now that everyone’s basically been made aware of

Still just as precaution

SPOILERS FOR THE “ESCAPE THE PIZZAPLEX” BOOK

-

-

Ok, now that that’s taken care of. Here’s my thoughts.

Yes I do think that the way this book was handled was.. less than ideal. Cassie does not seem to be very much in character from what we see of her in Ruin. BUT.. as far as Greg’s character goes.. I don’t think it’s entirely ooc.

Bc while they do not explicitly state it, it’s very clear this is GGY we’re dealing with. Not Greg. I dont see any evidence stating otherwise. So the question of why he doesn’t act the way he does in the story GGY?

Guys, I’m telling you. GGY and Vanny are not that far removed from Gregory and Vanessa. They are not the opposite personality, they are the true personalities and traits just AMPLIFIED.

Please there’s SOO much evidence to prove it! Gregory was described as being a prankster and having dark humor. Which is fine. So then once the virus takes over and he becomes GGY, obviously some of those traits will still linger, especially in the beginning, as we saw with Vanessa in the ar emails

Which brings me to my next point. I’ve said since the beginning that I believed this is taking place BEFORE GGY (as in the story) and now, I fully believe it.

I believe Gregory was the one to befriend Cassie, and it was only shortly after that he was targeted to become the next follower (it’s possible he was being stalked by Vanny at the time of his and Cassie’s meeting, but that’s a heavy speculation) and instead of Cassie being the last supposed victim, she was supposed to be the FIRST. THE TEST.

Bc think about it. Tony and Ellis are not mentioned, bc they haven’t shown up yet. Vanessa is not yet at the pizzaplex as a security guard, she’s still at the Funtime services (we know she transfers AFTER Greg becomes GGY due to the therapy tapes) and it would make sense that early on in the possession, that virus would still be tinkering around with the traits.

So yea, I fully believe that timeline wise, it can work. The idea can work.

The story itself however, is the problem

The way it’s executed is in very poor taste of the characters. Cassie is dumbed down tremendously, and the way it’s described as how “Gregory” tampered with the programming is very lackluster.

I personally believe this was an attempt to give Cassie a bigger incentive to become the next big antagonist. Bc even if it wasn’t Gregory that was trying to hurt her in the book or who dropped the elevator in ruin, she THINKS it was. Which would allow the virus/mimic/glitchtrap the perfect opportunity to morph and manipulate her into the perfect victim, the one more WILLING to have their mind altered.

However. I think this could’ve easily been done without the need to make Gregory’s character look bad by comparison. It just feels lazy to me if you need to make one character look bad simply to make the other look better. Again, it more than likely is GGY. But bc it’s never STATED as such, we don’t have any actual evidence to fall back on.

So yea, could this kind of story theoretically work for the timeline? Yes. But it needed SERIOUS editing and alterations. Cassie simply wouldn’t keep falling for the same stuff multiple times in a row. And there didn’t need to be more incentive for Cassie to become the next big bad. She already has it with ruin.

But yea, that’s my two cents on the whole thing. If I use it for anything, it’ll be heavily tweaked. Bc the way the story is now.. it’s just.. not great

I just learned why Shad hates Irene in canon and knowing what I do now about everyone’s favorite the Matron, I can say with my whole heart,

What the hell, Irene

Random Rant

Why am I just now seeing this?!

Holy shit we finally made it, the long-anticipated SCP: Fragmented Minds game. Not the first SCP Game but hopefully going to be the wildest to exist! Also, its practically confirmed that SCP-049 is going to be an ally and not an antagonist SCP again! This is going to be fucking epic, can't wait till it comes out.

There are currently only 3 BGM tracks that feature vocals. Two of these tracks are unnamed and unreleased, but sung by main/major characters. Kohane sings a solo song in Kick it up a notch, and Taiga sings a solo song in Light Up the Fire.

One of these tracks is quite unusual. It was featured in the RE:START from Here! event and was released on the first OST under the title Nijiiro Garland (see video at the top of post). The singer is not a named character (it's sung by the idol that inspired Airi when she was a child), and the voice actor also goes uncredited. It's unknown why this is the only instance of an unnamed character singing a BGM track, let alone being the only instance of a vocal BGM track for over two years until the Kohane song was used.

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to put together the long climate/environment post, especially the online resources. I've wanted to replace the neglected/dead non-native plants at my place with native plants for months, but didn't know where to start my search for species except to walk around my local nature preserve trying to find something that isn't invasive lol. I'll be able to start (re)introducing native plants this month because of you :-)

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the post has been helpful and inspiring. If you'd like more directed guidance on native plants, I can probably point you in the right direction if you can give me a general area to work with (state would suffice!). In general, go for keystone species- those that are common in your area and support many kinds of insects- or pollinator favorites, or host plants for rare/imperiled butterflies/bees/moths.

Another Fragment of Pan screenshot + the art used as the basis for some of the main cast's portraits.

Yeah that's Davi's "default" pose. Remember what god he embodies. Also his outfit is based on the Afternoon of a Faun ballet.
