  1. Now I'm wondering: is there a collection of contraptions and levels built for @principia to play with it around like in #TheIncredibleMachine? Sort of a #RubeGoldbergMachine, but with #DIY set to make more such levels, you know... :ablobcatwave:

    Post inspired by mastodon.social/@256/112417780 and reminiscing about mid-00s #RubeGoldberg type videogame that I can't remember the name of.
