Couldn't one argue that a doors function is to allow passage through a wall? A wall without a door, is well, a wall. No entry, completely barred entry. So then, the doors purpose is to allow entry, with the stipulation that you can also close it to seal the "hole". Point being, that a door is a hole, but just a mechanical one, and a wall without a door, this being the default state of the wall, does not have any holes. So, in this mindset, a door being a mechanical hole, the "off-state" would be it being closed, as then the wall is simply returned to its previous state (hole-less)

Either way, the door acts as an augment for the wall, the wall is the most important part of your example. Without the wall to attach to, the door itself is just a wall on a pivot.

In this case, where you are considering the wall the thing the switch is augmenting, that would be turning the wall on or off. And if you want to go down that route, then opening the door turns the wall off because at that point the wall is no longer functioning as a wall.

Again though, the door being opened or closed is not on or off in itself, because the purpose is to put the wall into that state of being easy to turn on and off. The door, so long as it keeps the wall in that state, is functional 100% of the time as a mechanical device, and is therefore ALWAYS ON if it's attached to the wall, whether or its opened or closed. It is only off when it is not attached to anything.

Standing firm Against all odds We are guardians Asgaard's migthy walls We protect The realm of asagods No matter What they send at us We will never Let them fall

We're the guardians Guardians of Asgaard!

[underratedmcyts]

also, for older MCYTers that focus on more informative modded playthroughs, there's nobody quite like ToAsgaard -- no, seriously, his ability to make mods work alongside each other and building prowess in general is downright insane. this is the type of guy who will intentionally make things more difficult for himself by refusing to do things the easy way when it comes to storage systems/automation/etc, and he makes it look good, and he does it all with the world's most casual delivery like it's no big deal to have broken three mods and found a way to farm the Wither overnight.

also, his builds are incredibly stunning and usually highly detailed to boot, often right down to places (mob grinders, storage, resource farms) that'd otherwise be left alone because they're only used to gather more stuff. that's probably what's coolest other than all the other cool stuff about him -- his bases are gigantic, but almost every single corner of them will have some amount of detail work and even some casual discussion of the lore of the place!

our personal favorite series from him are ATM: Spellbound, Celestial Journey, Sevtech Ages, and also his Betweenlands tutorial series (which is outdated due to further updates to the mod, but has a lot of useful information and know-how on Swamp Hell That We Are Very Very Biased Towards) -- but pretty much all of his stuff is equally impressive and worth a watch once he gets into a modpack!

~@betweenlands

Man oh man! This guy had me& stuck watching his videos for like an hour or two - his stuff is really thorough. The mods that are so technical I& couldn't even get the basics of are ones he's an expert in. I& think you put it better than I& possibly could have described. No background music was honestly a welcome touch, as his accent makes his voice very pleasant to listen to! I& do get the feeling that for this guy it's best to watch the series from the very beginning to the end rather than just jump in from the latest episode like I& did. An enjoyable experience nonetheless!

Pandora's Vault

Builder : Awesamdude

Series : DSMP

Propaganda :

- its so big. Its so so big. Look at a map of the dsmp. Its just a black void bigger than l'manburg was.

- You look at it and you just know it's something terrible. the obsidian walls, lava, the iron. It's just there. In the middle of the ocean. It does not fit in and its scary.

- the AMOUNT of redstone and functions it go is AMAZING. the only way to enter is through a portal that then leads u to the nether and has to be manually activated again by the warden. So to enter you literally NEED the wardens permission. All the bridges and all the door. It's so fucking cool man what can I say. The amount of security.

- the lore that happened inside pandora as well. Pandoras arc was the best arc of the whole of dream smp and I stand by that. There is so so much to unpack.

Sam and Dream could have just built some shitty obsidian box and called it a prison, but no they made PANDORAS VAULT

The Everdusk Castle

Builder : ToAsgaard

Series : ATM Spellbound Series

Porpaganda : this place is built in another dimension (the Everdusk), it's gigantic (extends about 50ish blocks further down past where i was able to grab a good screencap), and it's fully detailed inside. not in like a "some stuff here and there" or "there are redstone machines" -- every single room is detailed out, often with visuals corresponding to the mod being used, any automated setups are given a ton of visual flair to fit with the theme of the base, there's even automation setups that serve as visual rooms (the Botania automation room uses Kekimuras and is set up as a banquet hall! it's so cool!!). i think about it constantly. ToAsgaard's builds are consistently drop-dead gorgeous (his soulsborne-inspired Celestial Journey/Betweenlands base and gigantic multi-piece Sevtech Ages base are both fantastic) with ridiculously intricate detailing and really cool modded automation setups. his Celestial Journey base, Carcosa was a close second for me -- but its power lies in all that detailing and isn't nearly as screencappable from the outside. Asgaard's an amazing builder both on the megabase and microdetail levels, incredible at standard modded automation and at doing things the fun way. he's been inactive for a few years now but i still adore his stuff, and this seemed like a good way to show off an absolutely spectacular builder that otherwise people might not know about.

Taglist!

in honor of the new kenadian video, have the best and most finished contiguous bits of a fic i was trying to write for the @mcyt-builds-contest prison edition and never completed. personally, i think giving ken access to modded materials could only lead to good things.

previous bracket fic here if you haven't read it! image transcript under the cut! (surprise! this was arcosc all along!)

---------

“Why’re you so worried about this, anyway?” he finally says, because he’s pretty sure worry is the expression he’s reading on Legundo’s face.

“I have…” the King in the North says, grimacing, “a bit of prior experience with prisons, you could say. Both illager and player-made.”

Viking gets the feeling he’s touched a nerve, and nearly slaps his hand over his forehead as he belatedly remembers the first time the King in the North had mentioned some sort of dungeon built by – something about iron crocodiles, he thinks. Come to think of it, that building had come up earlier in this tournament.

“Forge, right? The Prison of the Iron Crocodiles that lost to Pandora in the first rounds?”

“That’s one of them,” the King in the North confirms. “Speaking of which, do you have any idea where Forge went after his dungeons lost the contest to this prison?”

Viking shrugs. “Nada. Maybe he just slunk off?”

“It’s not like him to vanish without any sign of reemergence,” the King in the North mutters, tapping his fingers against the table. “My version of Shadow, maybe. Forge? He should’ve caused trouble somewhere by now. Made some sort of uneasy or paranoid alliance with another person that lost the first round.”

“Come to think of it,” Viking says, “I haven’t seen that Asgaard guy anywhere after we shook hands and called it a good match. I was hoping he’d stick around for color commentary on worldbuilding or something, but maybe he just had a project to do?”

The King in the North shakes his head. “I don’t think so. I think something’s going after other people on the bracket. This other finals entrant – I know you’ve been busy on your own front, but have you seen them yet?”

“Nope,” Viking says. “And I haven’t seen the guy who looks kind of like they’d be my cousin if I was a catboy, either. Which… wait. Wait, that’s really weird! His entire thing is prisons and escape rooms, they should be at this match, he would definitely have something snarky to say about it!”

“About that,” a slightly familiar voice says. “I kinda got put in a tube.”

The catperson crouched on a chair at the far end of the room raises their hand with a wave and a wry grin. “Sorry I’m late. Train ran slow. Also the whole getting put in a tube thing.”

“You got –” Viking gestures. “Wait. First question. How did you get down here?”

Kenadian examines his clawed fingernails with one raised eyebrow. “Hopped around waystones for a bit until your hat layers loaded in on the tab screen. Composter glitched so I could look around underground. Saw a stronghold. Dug straight down. Don’t worry, I covered it back up.”

Viking unconsciously reaches up to his very unhatted head, adjusting his goggles slightly. Next to him, the King in the North seems to be in a very similar state of confusion. 

“Tab… screen?” he finally manages.

“Composter glitch?” Viking adds.

“Oh, we’re from a world that doesn’t have diegetic game mechanics, that’s just great,” Kenadian huffs. “Anyway. Aren’t you a ghost? Can’t you just chug a fire resistance potion and walk through the walls?”

“I already explained that to him,” Viking says, recovering from the brief shock of some random guy he’s only met once breaking into his secret underground headquarters base. “Phantoms can’t pass through obsidian or crying obsidian.”

“God you guys are hopeless,” Kenadian says, slapping one hand over their face. “Just make them not obsidian, then! You can literally just do that!”

“I…” Viking says, “what?”

Kenadian stands up again and tosses something onto the table with a loud clatter, crossing their arms with a smug expression.

Viking blinks down at the diamond-tipped chisel on the table with a confused expression on his face. “Why are you giving me a chisel?”

“Oh my god do I have to spell everything out for you,” Kenadian groans. “Bit blocks only carry so much internal info and most of it’s either transparency or whether or not they give off light. Just take a single voxel – oh, sorry, bit – out of any walls in your way and they stop being obsidian and start being bit blocks. It’s literally just that simple.”

Sigurd from Jack Kirby's GODS portfolio (1972).

The portfolio was four color plates by Kirby of some of the Old Gods of Asgaard - Balduur, Sigurd, Honor and Heimdall . They were predecessors of the New Gods of the Fourth World, which came into being after a great war destroyed Asgaard and it became the twin worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips.

Jack and Fenrir

So Fenrir from Norse mythology is a giant wolf and the son of Loki. He and his siblings are prophesized to be the downfall or asgaard in ragnarok. Because of this Odin takes Fenrir away from his mother and the Gods keep him as a pet in order to keep an eye on him.

Fenrir does not have any desire to act on the prophecies, he is not fully aware they exist he's just very happy with his family.

His family thinks they need to do something about the prophecy they start chaining him up.

They know Fenrir is powerful and they come up with a game to find the chains that will hold him. Each time Fenrir is able to break out of the chains and so he believes them that it's just a game until they are finally able to tie him down and he doesn't understand why they won't let him go.

This enrages him, he doesn't understand why his family would betray him

He never meant for destruction but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy once you view yourself as a monster as well

12, 16, and 20 for the gaming asks! 😁

Thank you for the asks :D

A character you particularly like in the game you're currently playing

Sigh... Astarion. I mean, I'm not proud about it, lol. I went into Baldur's Gate 3 going like, there's no way he's actually all he's cracked up to be in the fandom for this game, but goddamnit, I jumped right into the pool. Characters who are closed off and challenged on intimacy and who need to learn to trust and open up are like fucking catnip to me. And the Spawn!Astarion and Reedeemed!Dark Urge relationship is such a good fucking romance.

He's very closely matched by Lae'zel though. I love her so much, her dry sense of humor is lowkey so fucking funny, and I do love a vicious asshole, who is actually secretly a big softie under it all. Her calling her partner the source of my bruises with big soft eyes is so dramatic, like, girl, you're actually so adorable. I need to get her and Shadowheart together, they're made for each other.

A game you would like to replay

Kind of cheating, because I never actually finished it. But I played like half of the first Bioshock game when I was rooming with someone who had a console, but then moved out again before I could finish it. So I'd love to try my hand at it again at some point.

A boss that you think is really cool

The Scratch Fight on the edge of Cauldron Lake! Narratively satisfying, and I was absolutely fighting for my life, and then with the killer soundtrack from the Old Gods of Asgaard!

Ketheric Thorm in the bowels of Moonrise towers is also great, mostly due to his transformation into the Avatar of Myrkul. I was playing that very late in the evening and was planning to go to bed, and then that fucking cutscene started and I was like, well, fuck, guess there goes my bedtime, because I can't stop now.
