#industrial age

[dimalink]

Grey and gloomy day. But these electric lines and buildings are speaking about a construction process. New constructions. New lines of electricity. A lots of different tech. It makes a big impression. It is going energy. It is going a process. In a future. New buildings. It is very space style. Cities of the future are already in making process in today. Ands everywhere there is electricity. By a power cables it is going a current. It is going a construction. It is a beginning of a new age.

New buildings. Electricity. Symbol for age of progress. And construction process. Such houses and electricity station one day will appear on the Moon and later on Mars. If there is a moving forward then it will go this point one day. Very interesting such a grey brown color for the buildings. Interesting texture. So, find myself in the very interesting place. And there is near a forest. Forest and technology can be combined. Gloomy sky. Such stable. And grey. As a house, they are so big, almost reaching the sky itself. And electricity stations also are reaching the sky. There are lots of electricity. And a grey day.

Engou desings AU industrial age 🚂

[haggishlyhagging]

Although the industrial revolution employed the labor of working-class women in factories and mills, it also produced the middle-class lady of leisure with her staff of household servants and her strictly defined feminine sphere, a sphere whose parameters were motherhood, social and moral refinement, and gracious adornment of her husband’s life and home. Throughout the nineteenth century, hoops, crinolines, bustles and trains might come and go, taste in color might veer and shift, the width of the skirt, the swell of the sleeve, the location of the waist and the shape of the bust might vary with considerable imagination from season to season, but the woman of fashion remained a perishable confection, a wedding-cake vision of conspicuous consumption whose impractical clothes reflected the aristocratic values of centuries past. And she had no followers more attentive or more eager to become the Perfect Lady than the idle wives and daughters of the newly moneyed bourgeoisie with their newly acquired aspirations and pretensions, and their newly acquired laundresses and lady’s maids.

In material terms—ill-paid laborers in the mills, including children, worked day and night to spin out the yardage; sewing machines were introduced to automate the stitching—this meant the piling on of ruffles, ribbons, flounces, piping, fringes, tassels, lace, beads and bows, and numerous starched petticoats to bedeck and adorn a sedate and artificially molded figure. Perhaps one season a crinoline cage might replace the petticoats, or perhaps a hobble skirt might replace the hoop, to be replaced in turn by a bustle or train. Whatever the innovation, the latest feminine mode was usually expressed through the fashion language of a period revival.

Rolling Sky Updates for July 12th and July 26th

Ahh I guess it seems like I will be making these every month - so four new levels per update. The levels I will be discussing are Kingdom War, Beach-Rock Party, Industrial Age, and Djinni.

"The Flames of Kingdom War Burn Bright, The Beach Party Ignites Summer Passion" - July 12th Update

Kingdom War - Offical

Okaayyy, I must admit, I really really love this music. Like Kingdom War's music is easily S tier for me. The level was a little bit of a disappointment as I wish the level was a little bit more posh, however, the level grew on me. I did complete this level and had a blast with it. The meteors were a really cool touch overall! I also enjoy going on the sides as well - it makes the level feel more lively.

8/10

Beach Party-Rock - Co-creation

I haven't completed this level yet, but I've definitely gotten a feel for it. While I do love the theme, the level is kind of boring in comparison to the others. The music is sweet, but I definitely preferred it's sister level a lot more. The pink theme is very pretty though. Overall, it's a decent level but doesn't stand out to me.

4/10

-----------------------------------------

"The Sands Conceal the Djinni, Gears of the Industrial Age Turn the Future" - July 26th Update

Djinni - Official

The arab-genie theme was a really cool idea! It was enjoyable and this level doesn't disappoint for a level 2. The calming music, in the beginning, is also pleasant to listen to when opening up the screen. The level isn't remarkable, but the obstacles were pretty cool. A decent level overall and fun to complete.

6/10

Industrial Age - Co-creation

I mistakenly thought this was a level 2, and it wasn't until I got to 70% of this level that I realized it was a level 5. Whoops 🙃. Anyway, this level - to me - is a pretty easy level 5. I was shocked to find out that this level was a level 5, when it could easily pass as a mid-level 4. I did complete this level and the design of the level was nice. No obstacle held me back too much and it was a pretty solid playthrough.

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

Our Education System is Failing. Unlearn and Rethink

The sentiment that the education system is failing is not a new one, and it's important to recognize that education systems can vary greatly across different regions and countries. While there are certainly areas where improvements could be made, it's also important to consider the complexity of the issue and the various factors that contribute to the perceived failures.

For the record I feel like saying "Dreadwolf is going to suck because they laid off Mary Kirby" is like... really dramatically missing the point of what's going on here.

The next game has been in alpha for nearly a year now. Kirby's work on the game as a writer was probably mostly finished. Which does not make this better. If anything, it makes it worse.

The layoffs aren't terrible news because a game we're looking forward to might be worse because of them. They're terrible news because people who have devoted years of blood, sweat, and tears to making the game good (including the person who wrote one of the two characters on which they've been hanging the entire marketing campaign for said game thus far) have been axed now that the company has decided it can probably get by without them.

The quality of the game when it finally comes out is irrelevant here. If it's amazing, it won't make this any better, and if it's awful, it won't make it any worse. What matters is the people whose labor made it exist at all are profoundly undervalued, the industry as a whole is broken and frankly abusive, and I wish everyone in it some good labor organizing.

"Anti-aging"? Nah bro, I'm pro-aging. Aging is a privilege, a blessing.

How did Treasure Planet manage to come up with the greatest aesthetic in all human history? Victorian elegance plus space-age flair, with just enough dirt and grime and wear and tear to make it feel real? A combination of traditional and computer animation that perfectly embodies the movie's blend of old and futuristic? How does it get any better than that?

"industry plant" is literally just the new way of saying "this female artist is having a lot of success and I don't like her for it".... like ok well personally I just don't find it that hard to believe that young women can be talented and work hard and achieve things
