  2. Meet Voss

    He doesn't remember what ordinary thing he was doing when it happened.

    He remembers before; a quiet and unremarkable life, sure, but it was *his*. And he remembers the after; which is Pip, already perched, already watching him with the patience of a thing that has been waiting a long time and is relieved the wait is finally over. Voss didn't go looking for this. He is still not quite sure what *this* is.

    Voss is neat about everything. His coat, his words, the careful way he stands in a room as though he's already located the exits and decided which one he prefers. He watches people the some people watch fires, waiting for it to inevitably get out of hand but already knowing when that will happen. He's not unfriendly. He just seems that way because of his carefulness.

    Ask him what Pip is and he will pause for a long time before responding: "I'm still working on that".

    Meet Pip

    Small. Fast. Certain, in an unearned way.

    He arrived without invitation nor explanation.

    He finishes sentences. Not out of impatience, but because he already knows where the sentence will end, and waiting for it to come seems like a dreadful formality. He is always right about that direction, and knows that this is not entirely endearing. He has not adjusted.

    Voss noticed early on that Pip has never said anything provably false. Voss has spent considerable time deciding whether this is reassuring. It is not. Something that has never been wrong is either very wise or has never been tested.

    What Pip is, exactly, is a question he deflects with the efficiency of something who has heard it many times and found the asking much more interesting that the answering. Voss asks sometimes, late at night when the camp is quiet. Pip often responds that he is still working on that. Voss suspects this is true, and he is not eased by it.

    Meet Voss and Pip

    If asked, they'll tell you they're not a team. Voss will tell you as much, very carefully, with a pause before the word team like he is checking whether it fits. Pip will tell you much quicker and with more confidence and with zero elaboration. They will then immediately function as a team, and nobody will bring it up, becuase obviously they're a team.

    Voss is an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer who doesn't so much *cast* as *indicate*, neat and deliberate in everything including violence, built around reading the room before acting and acting *precisely* when he does act. Pip is a familiar by ruling, and something harder to pin down by name in every other measure. Small, construct-adjacent, forward-leaning, eager, with eyes that are slightly too steady and a certainty that has never once wavered in Voss's presence.

    In combat, Voss stands at the edge and tilts the table quietly while Pip handles what needs handling. They are the most efficient two voices in the party, and the least forthcoming. And the question of which one of them is actually doing the magic is, as Voss might say, still being worked on.

  6. From a recent thread:
    "Time is a Construct."

    Most folks could agree that this is a plausible notion. But then, what is a construct? Does it imply a constructor, perceiver, or measurer? Can #Time or anything else exist without being a #Construct? Is a construct itself a construct (a #recursion)?

    3 basic reads:
    • Time exists outside of anyone's perception.
    • Without a perceiver or observer, Time collapses.
    • Time doesn't exist.
    Or, something else.

  7. Depuis quelques temps, je me suis lancé un challenge à la con qui me ressemble bien ^^ j'ai décidé de recréer le premier niveau de Mario Bros NES sur construct3 . J'adore le gamedev. Pour l'instant ca avance bien. Je débute dans le domaine. Mais ce n'est pas si simple que ça en faite. #gamedev #construct

  8. “We will also go after the biggest drivers of cost for the #MiddleClass & work to bring them down.And…some would argue, one of the biggest is the cost of #housing. So here’s what we will do. We will cut the red tape that stops homes from being built & take on… #corporate #landlords who are hiking #rent prices &…work w/ #builders & #developers to #construct 3M new #homes & rentals for the middle class, because increasing the housing supply will help drive down the cost of housing”

  9. Anyone know how to install cadquery's CQ-editor (Linux) *without*:

    (a) Conda
    (b) executing a 576MB shell script?

    I don't know what `#construct` is, but it appears to be something like an old-fashioned (ancient-fashioned?) shell archive...

    The very idea that someone might download a half gigabyte "shellscript" and run it terrifies me, the same as The Kids These Days running `curl ... | sudo sh` to install random software.

  13. TIL about Construct, a Matrix server written in C++ that targets single or few-user instances.

    It has little activity, but at least the fact it's in C++ means it's a project whose code I can actually read. I'll probably at least try it out at some point. :blobfoxhappymlem:​

    #cpp #cplusplus #matrix #construct

  14. Honestly I think switching away from #Unity might be easier than most might think:

    - Unless you are deep* in development, consider porting to these.

    - #GodotEngine #UnrealEngine if you need 3D graphics with great editor.

    - #GameMaker #Construct if you need a 2D engine with many features.

    - #RenPy #RPGMaker if you need genre specific tools.

    -#MonoGame #SDL #Bevy #Love2D if you prefer a framework around your familiar languages.

    - Know that distinctive gameplay comes from you, not the engine!

  15. I've posted a few times about matrix homeserver software that can be used instead of Synapse, the reference prototype the Element.io company maintains.

    Construct is programmed in C++.

    It's Conduit that's programmed in Rust.

    I've been getting them confused and posting about Construct being Rust.

    Apologies for the mistake and any confusion caused.
