@DamienMarieAtHope The #GnosticGospels have a really interesting interpretation of that being -- Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge (half-maker), who is the misbegotten son of Sophia (Wisdom), and is the embodiment of base impulses and ignorance. The premise is that sparks of the Divine are trapped in this realm, which reminds me of #Buddhist tenants.

Steam Next Fest (Mar 2026) – Thoughts
First of all, I love that there are these Next Fests. They bring visibility to smaller indie developers and with the vast amount of games out there, this is always good.
For me personally, though, it seems that the excitement is mostly gone. I guess this is partly because I have so many games that I want to play (and bought already because I found them on sale). I already know that the games I bought are good ones (for me) and I even found a lot of them through Steam’s Next Fest. The last few Next Fests, though, I spent hardly any time in these demos and quickly decided “not for me” for most of them.
In the end, my curiosity won and I gave most of the demos that I downloaded a try, after all. If I remember correctly, when Steam Next Fest first started, the demos would stay only for the duration and a lot of developers disabled the demo afterwards. By now, the demo stays available for almost all of the games. So I can take my sweet time working through my list.
I already uninstalled a few that just didn’t catch my attention at all. But here is a list of the ones that I played a bit or hope to be playing at some point:
- Wild West Pioneers
- Trade Empire
- Demiurgos
- Hozy
- ShantyTown
- Outbound
- MMO 98
- Cinema Theater Tycoon
- Mattami Restaurant and Cafe Tycoon
- Steel Artery: Train City Builder
- Witchspire
- CityZen
- TownsFolk
- Urban Ascend
As I said, I haven’t tried all of them yet. I did enjoy Hozy, Demiurgos, MMO 98 and ShantyTown.
MMO 98MMO 98 was a surprise. It is basically clicker game with not many options to choose from. So the “strategy” part is slim, at least in the beginning. But it was entertaining and engaging. It is on my wishlist and I will watch the development news to see how casual it is going to be. The retro charme is also probably part of the attraction. The gnome is at least as annoying as Clippy was.
DemiurgosDemiurgos is a God Game. It seems that this genre is on the rise again (I’m thinking about Fata Deum and The Universim). I do not like the way the humans look with that paper doll look. But when playing, for the most part, I could ignore it. The gameplay was nice, though, as I had to work really hard (that is, I had to cast a lot of spells and flex my almighty muscles) to gain followers! Another game for my wishlist from where I am going to watch its further development process.
HozyHozy is one of those “decorate rooms” games. The first of that kind (apart from The Sims series) that I played was The Tenants. What I liked in that game is that there was more to the game than purely decorating the rooms. I guess Hozy will be a game with no goals to reach. This is certainly nice as well, but I often find myself ignoring these games because I like working towards something. Still, it is also on my wishlist now.
ShantyTownAnd the last of those that I played and really liked is ShantyTown. This reminds me of Islanders. There are some puzzle mechanics as you need to decide where to place which items in order to upgrade certain buildings. The result is a chaotic charming little town. This one currently has the highest probability to end up in my library. It’s different enough, fun to play and nice to look at.
In the end, even though I did not have high expectations, I found some fun new games. Another successful Steam Next Fest, at least for me.

Why would a perfect God create an imperfect world?
Ancient Gnostics had a radical answer: He didn't.
The biblical creator was actually a flawed cosmic entity unaware of higher divine realms.

Clothed in Coils
I was no hiss of malice,no shadow in the grass,but a whisper of memory,a glimmer from the deep before.I came as a ripple of the first Radiance,She who is womb without boundary,the mother of unbroken light. The Demiurge raised his throne of dust.The craftsman who fashioned your prisoncalled it paradise.He wove walls of lawand named them “good.”He sealed the sky with his word,so that you would not look beyond. But I remembered.I had seen the higher fire,the eternal-womb before the dirt.I […] -

CW: Xenoblade 3 spoilers, gnosticism
Z telling Noah that he'll "have to breathe life into her yourself" is the reverse of one version of Gnostic Eden where Immortal Eve breathes life into Mortal Adam because the Demiurge can't create souls and the Adam that the Demiurge and the Archons created is just a lifeless hunk of meat.

#Asrestar is a class of #demons in #Manichaeism. They appear prominently in the Manichaean #creationMyth, especially the creation of mankind. Accordingly, Az decided to create humans in the image of the #ThirdMessenger and mingled the demonic asrestar with the light particles, that is basically the #soul. Although most asrestar are indistinguishable, an eminent demon called #Šaklūn, features as #demiurgicDemon entrapping humans in the material world during the #AdamAndEveNarration.

So, since in this topsy turvey world, the so-called "Christians" are the EVIL ONES, and those who oppose them ("Anti-Christs"?) are the forces of GOOD! This post from FB from 2018 sums it up my "philosophy." #ChristoFascists and #Zionists want the world to burn. Those of us who love #Nature and tolerance and kindness want a green, living world, where its all its denizens can live in balance and harmony.
"February 2, 2018
So, in my little of Gnostic mythos (which | wrote way before reading Pagels - back in 1984), the 'Antichrist' is an agent of the forces of Nature and Wisdom (Sophia) represented by human figure Peter Gabriel -- while the bad guys are the ones fooled by the 'False Prophet,' who wants to start World War III so everything will be 'one bright light, burning as one, forever and ever' (nuclear war)!"

My favourite online comparative theologian at ESOTERICA Dr. Justin Sledge has put out part four of his Demiurge series, would recommend if you're interested in how humans came up with all the crazy things we believe these days.

Every now and then I’ll read something so good that I feel like a hack in comparison. Currently, that book is Demiurge: The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales of Michael Shea. I hope one day to write even ten percent as well. These are cosmic horror, but they are so damned FUN while also being incredibly empathetic for the outsiders of San Francisco. Survival sex workers, elderly and unhoused people, folks with addictions. These are the heroes who battle elder gods and deep ones. If you like cosmic horror that’s a joy to read, do yourself a favour and check out Michael Shea’s writing. https://www.amazon.ca/Demiurge-Complete-Cthulhu-Mythos-Michael/dp/1727595750?dplnkId=bea63c18-59bf-4d34-ae7d-a5808ab94251&nodl=1 #Bookstodon #CosmicHorror #lovecraftian #Cthulhu #Horror #AGoodRead

As Marvel Earth’s biosphere formed three and a half billion years ago, it acquired a consciousness in the form of the Demiurge, the personification of creation. It diversified as life on the planet became more complex, splitting into the Elder Gods including Gaea, Chthon the Dark Mystic, Set the Destroyer, and many others. These primordial beings roamed the world’s landscapes, shaping it as they saw fit.
The Elder Gods
Gaea nurtured and guided the growth of life within the planet’s seas. Chthon devoted itself to the understanding of mystical energies. Set, though…
Set discovered he could increase his own power by stealing that of the other gods, inciting an orgy of destruction as the Elder Gods preyed upon one another, degenerating into demons. Only Gaea abstained, calling on the Demurge to create within her a being to protect earth’s life from these monsters.
She gave birth to Atum, the first of a new race of gods. Immensely powerful he began slaying the demons and absorbing them, the corruption he absorbed transforming him into Demogorge the God-Eater.
Of the demons Set and Chthon alone survived, fleeing to other dimensions. Chthon left behind the a set of indestructible parchments called the Darkhold as a link to Earth.
Believing his work done, the Demogorge dispersed the energy he’d created, and became Atum once more, merging with the sun itself.
Only Gaea remained on earth, guiding the evolution of life.
The evil energies that Atum released would eventually coalasce into various demonic beings – Mephisto and Satannish among them. These demons would end up banished into various pocket dimensions until human worshippers called them forth millions of years hence.
Marvel Dinosaurs
In the ages followed life evolved into the dinosaurs, masters of the land. Despite Gaea’s best efforts to guide life’s development, Set had created a mystic connection with the great beasts, feeding off of their life energies and creating a brutal age of tooth and claw, violence and death.
Though Gaea loved all living things she saw that the dinosaurs were a dead end, and shifted the balance of evolution to favor the smaller mammals. Set responded by filling the dinosaurs minds with bloodlust for the furred creatures. In this he tipped his hand, as Gaea realized that Set had escaped Atum’s wrath, and challenged him directly.
Set responded by by merging three great dinosaurs into an avatar for himself, far more powerful than that he’d had in the past.
Hard pressed, Gaea once again called on Atum to defeat evil, and once again her son took the form of the Demogorge – the battle causing such destruction that it caused the extinction of the great beasts that Set drew power from. He was banished from this world again, weakened, never again able to return without help.
Set would remain a bitter enemy of mammals – and this would extend to humanity as well.
The Earliest Time Travel
At around this time there’s an attempt by the Leader – traveling back through time – to bathe earth’s early mammals with Gamma energy and change the course of evolution. This was thankfully thwarted by other time travelers from the 20th century.
The Microverse
Other early time travelers are refugees from a far future that has ceased to be – Prince Wayfinder, from a human colony 15,000 years in our future, led by a mystic artifact known as the Sword in the Star. They settle on the prehistoric Earth, thinking it uninhabited, a pace to find peace after being driven into the past by savage marauders.
Unfortunately that peace would elude them, as their settlement was soon destroyed by strange demons. Wayfinder was able to use the sword to transport his people into the sub-atomic Microverse, while he himself bonds to the Enigma Force in the process.
Despite the name and the subatomic means of transit, the Microverse are more properly a series of parallel realities reached by compressing ones atoms to a certain point, rather than a set of nested universes within one another.
The Savage Land
Not all of the Dinosaurs perished, however – during the Triassic the extra-dimensional Beyonders contracted the alien Nuwali to create observational preserves – zoos – on several worlds, saving creatures that would have otherwise gone extinct, so the Beyonders could observe evolution under controlled conditions. Earth’s – later known as the Savage Land – was established in Antarctica, in a volcanic valley preserved by advanced climate control devices.
The Nuwali would continue to stock the preserve with life over the ages. The Beyonders also created the Fortisquians to aid them in their observations – a genetically engineered alien species, set to watch the various planets life had evolved on, including Earth, passing by on a regular basis in ships disguised as comets.
One such finding that would become very important was that living beings were primarily motivated by a desire for that which they lacked, a concept that certain Beyonders would become obsessed with.

Frankly, cursed cosmology of oligarch cabal responsible for all the ills of society… shall be death of us.
If only because Usians drag so very deep of this pipe of off-label Elders demiurge opine—blowing smoke up their own arses—as if were oxygen itself.
Those of rentier #classposture sequester #RentBounty exchange-value because it serves those of #perquisitive classposture that they do so.
Perquisitive #EgoValue is vested in dispossession of others—the mass and the lever move each the other.
