The top side of observers closely matches the color of polished basalt.

I have used it here to make a rosary. For greater unity of color, the bottom side of pistons are used as tiles. Variety is added by having furnaces for lighter tiles.

This technique does not work sideways. The arrows on the observer can only be made to face up/down and only on the north/south sides. So, when planning a facade the direction matters.

the cognitive dissonance from people who want the products of modern medicine but get weird about animal research. like im sorry but this is necessary for the survival of the society we currently live in. and the scientists who work on these things are not evil cackling psychopaths. anyone you talk to in animal research has incredibly complex feelings about their work and incredibly complex relationships to the animals in their care. there are regulations and oversight and penalties in place to make the work as humane as possible and scientists are overwhelmingly the ones enforcing and advocating for better care.

Getting Started With Old World Test Builds: What to Expect

Old World test build releases and update for the revolutionary historical strategy game on Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the ongoing efforts from developer Mohawk Games. Available to all owners via Steam and Humble Store. Let's break down the latest test build updates for Old World and see what's happening on Linux. 1. Clergy Changes: The game has certainly revamped how religious figures, the Clergy, work. Here's what's new:

Choosing Clergy: Instead of the old mission 'Initiate into Clergy', now there's 'Suggest For Clergy'. This is done through your Councillor and depends on the character's religion.

Limits and Flexibility: Each Old World nation can now have up to two Clergy members in this test build. As a result these Clergy can now be regular Courtiers and can get married.

Roles and Bonuses: Clergy can now teach as 'Tutor as Courtier' and they boost your religion's opinion by +30. If you follow a Pagan religion, your Clergy also has a better chance of becoming the Head of Religion.

New Missions: Pagan Clergy have a new mission 'Pagan Sacrifices', which can make a city happier or upset people. Clergy of World Religions can also act as Agents in their religious cities.

2. Economy and Maps:

More Money: Income from cities connected to foreign cities has doubled.

Bigger Desert Maps: Old World deserts are now available in a larger size while doubling the space for your adventures in the test build.

3. AI and Programming Updates:

The AI smarter. It now remembers claimed city sites, connects roads better, and is more strategic with its units.

Bug Fixes: The developers have fixed several issues like AI not healing units. And also problems with character portraits.

4. User Interface (UI) Upgrades:

History on Loading Screen: You'll now see a history of the Old World when you start a new game in this test build..

Better Tooltips: Information pop-ups (tooltips) have been improved for clarity.

Idle Leader Reminder: If a leader isn't doing anything, you'll get a reminder.

Many small glitches and issues get fixed, such as problems with sending goods, unit upgrades, and the event browser. Check out the details via Steam. This test build brings a lot of changes, especially to how religion and clergy work in Old World. It also makes the AI smarter and fixes several bugs, making the title smoother and better. The developers are certainly focusing on making everything from the economy to the user interface more user-friendly and deeper. Enjoy exploring these new features and strategies in your next session. Available via Steam priced at $29.99 USD / 29,99€ / £26.24 with the 25% discount. And the regular price on Humble Store. While supporting Linux, Steam Deck playable, Mac, and Windows PC.

This was a test build for another world of mine I loved it so I built it there. This is the entrance way for my amusement park/rip off funland!

Core Gems

So when a ghost becomes injured, they have a last ditch defense where they retreat into their core. And I mean, injured badly where their body is rip apart to the point they can’t hold a solid form anymore. And they basically go into a hibernation state until they are strong enough to form again.

Ellie, Danny, and Dan are all injured in a final battle against the GIW. The organization was destroyed and the ghosts were safe but the halfas ended up being so injured that they reverted to core form and then went to sleep for a bit. When they woke up, they were still weak but at least recovered enough to gain consciousness. And realize…they are in some kind of auction…in the middle of a heist. It appeared that two furries (one in a bat costume and one in a cat costume) were ducking it out. And they…they were a necklace. All three of them had been turned into a necklace with their cores as gems accompanied by sapphires, pearls, and opals. And frankly gorgeous craftsmanship as the metal was crafted around their cores as if to cradle them and the other gems.

Unfortunately, they were too weak to take a form properly, they could still feel the strain on their bodies. But at least they could still communicate through their auras. Then the cat lady punched a hole in the glass container surrounding them and grabbed their necklace.

However, the bat grabbed the other end and it resulted in a sort of tug-a-war. Meanwhile, Danny, Ellie, and Dan were having a back and form commentary on the situation and what they should do. Completely unheard by the other party.

In the corner of their eye, the three halfas finally noticed a third contender. Some kind of clown who was…hold on…holding a gun?! And it was pointed straight at the two fighting furies who had yet to notice him. The ghosts’ protective instincts went into overdrive and they frantically tried to shout, yell, move. Just do something to warn the two but their cries fell on deaf ears. All they succeeded in doing was faintly glow which immediatly caught the attention of the fighting duo. The two turned to look at the strange necklace but right at that moment, the clown fired and a gunshot rang throughout the auction room. Having no other options, Danny and the others poured every ounce of ectoplasm they had to try and phaseshift, making the two furries intangible as the bullets passed right through them, but in their shock, the two jumped away in opposite directions and accidentally ripped the necklace apart. Gems and pearls went flying and the three cores bounced along the ground.

Luckily, the two finally noticed the clown and went to deal with him and his minions who had appeared. Seemingly putting their fight on hold and forming a temporary truce. The three halfas could only watch as the battle finally wound down, ending with the cops barging into the place and arresting the clown and his grunts, the cat managing to escape with half the scattered gems and pearls from the broken necklace along with a few other jewelry pieces (none of their cores though) and the bat leaving through a skylight.

The auction continued and in the end, despite being broken, their necklace seemed to have caught someone’s interest. A man named Bruce Wayne bought up every piece of the shattered jewelry wear. The auctioneers appeared relived that the item managed to sell in the end and gratefully gave it to him.

Bruce had no idea what happened at the auction, but he could have sworn that some of the gems faintly glowed right before he and Selina were shot. If the necklace was some sort of magical item, then he needed to understand exactly what has been brought to Gotham. It was unfortunate that Selena had taken some parts of the necklace but he utilized his vast wealth to make sure all the other parts ended in his possession. Now he would take them back to the mansion for examination.

winged knkdz au.

haven't thought abt it much but everyone is either born w/wings or not and ofc those with wings have different culture/rituals vs those who do not.

dazai was born with standard wings, and knkd born with stunted wings. both his parents didn't have the winged genetics but somehow he got it via mutation in utero which caused them to form late and thus rlly small.

bc of this and the fact that his family is not winged, he grew up without knowing the standard rituals or behaviors amongst those who are winged.

Cue a very confused dazai trying to do typical flirting behaviors to an oblivious knkd
