use a preexisting game engine

don't listen to the person above me, game engines are too limiting, you should use a framework instead. preferably one based around c++, or even just c. actually, forget that, you should just program everything on assembly like the guy who made rollercoster tycoon

jokes aside i think godot is the best engine for beginners. unity was/is going through an enshitfication process and unreal is just too much bloat

>>47422
I think the werewolf romance is actually a dip in quality, at least as far as the fantasy genre is concerned.

In fact, I would argue that "romantasy" books are really just romance incidentally set in a fantasy world.

two good kinds of sci fi:

1. so hard it's basically just a drama
   
2. so soft it's basically just a fantasy
   
   

anything in between those 2 extremes tends to be dull

Along with the o9a (1974 - 2012), I have also compiled the work of Tempel ov Blood. Texts include:

• Discipline/Altars/Apex (2004)
  
• Tales of Sinister Influence (2006)
  
• Liber 333 (2008 - 2013)
  
• Iron Gates (2014)

• Beast Barracks (2015 - 2018)
  
  

After Martinet Press (the publisher of ToB) shut down in 2020, Sutter established "Agony's Point Press" with a new group called The Satanic Front. Here is the blog:
https://agonyspoint.substack.com/
The work is much diminished from prior quality, and popularity is probably naturally low due to Sutter being exposed as a fed (while paradoxically being a true believer). The o9a subculture seems mostly dead. The ultimate sign of which was Chloe Ortega's transference of o9a.org in 2022 to Brett Stevens, who hasn't made a new post in over a year. Chloe edited a Zine from 2014 to 2020, and has seemed to scrub her presence off of the web since her retirement. David Myatt still has a blog, but no longer discusses o9a:
https://davidmyatt.wordpress.com/
I would say that the Danyal Hussein case is the nail in the coffin (2021); he murdered two women, and his connection to o9a Satanism was reported by the BBC:
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59103568
Another Satanist, E.A. Koetting, also got caught in this, who is associates with Michael W. Ford, an early contributor to both the o9a and Tempel ov Blood (the importation of Choronzon into the Tempel ov Blood may have been his innovation, since he concurrently writes of Choronzon in Book of the Witch Moon, 2006).

>The question then arises, can God create a thing he cannot lift?
My hunch is ,He/She/It/ They *could*, but that would be the pretty much the same as winking out of existence, and taking the universe with them. (Since God can't be subordinate to anything else, not even logic, in a medieval, and after, view.
Not necessarily in Bronze/Iron Age view, though.
In the Caananite Ba'al cycle, the creator god, El, when the fighting starts is indisposed with a dodgy liver. Or as you point out
>Epicurus decides that an all-powerful and all-good God is impossible, yet still pertains to a belief in limited and finite Daimons.
I say *could* because otherwise the God would be subordinate to the rules of logic. Because in theory they're the origin of the rules of logic, they haven't. If that makes any sense?( I feel as I'm butting up against the limits of my understanding of medieval theology myself here.)
>they can only be some kind of disembodied mind.
>This is an even stranger assertion, since how can a mind create anything except what is mental?
Because in an Aristotlean view everything in physical existence is made up of two things: Form, and Matter. A sugar cube and a dice have the same form, but different matter. But matter is never found on it's own, it always takes some Form or another. Matter and Form are different things, but are never found on their own, separately. The only time this is not true is when they are indeed purely mental, when they are concepts in the mind. So if there is a prior cause of the physical universe that must be there , a mind.
We can think about 3 dimensional squares ,cubes, we can also think about Matter in itself.
Why must there must there be a non physical, but mental, cause, of the physical universe?
Because if it is a physical cause, something else must have brought it into existence, so it's not a first cause.
So it's a bit of a head fuck. But the alternative makes less sense. There must be a first cause ,otherwise the causes are stretching back into infinity,which is really the same as saying there is no cause.

>They *could*, but that would be the pretty much the same as winking out of existence
But as I say, what would it mean to create a void in reality? It it is inconceivable to subtract from Nature.
>Since God can't be subordinate to anything else, not even logic
This then brings us back to the Euthyphro problem; if God is beyond morality, why is his authority good? It cannot be, unless the Good precedes him; thus it is written that of the first things God created, they were "good", and so God is subordinate to this principle. Thus, we derive authority from the Law (e.g. Torah) rather than its author. In the Book of John, we further see that God creates via the medium of Logos - which must make things good, and so all creation is inherently ordered. Both a synonymity and antinomy is attributed between Theos and Logos, like Plato's "moving image of eternity" or the Hermetic cosmos (e.g. "Son of God"). We do see in Nicene christianity, the doctrine of Trinity, yet this makes God have parts by internal contradiction, and so limiting his being to what is conditional. God thus fails to be unconditional, since he is defined by what is good. Lao Tzu avoids this problem with the Tao, since defines the Tao as preceding both God and morality, making the first principle both (i) impersonal  and (ii) unconditional. He immediately runs into the Parmindean problem however, that knowledge of the thing cannot be grasped (like the Fish which cannot know what water is). Tao is called "The Way", and so is inherently mediating, like how "Spirit" (e.g. "breath of life") is elemental of air. Christ is also explicitly referred to as a medium. We see in the Iliad, Zeus show inferiority to Nyx (Night), a primal goddess who features in some creation myths. Primal forces, like elements, are either created or uncreated. It is not clear in any account whether God created matter, or simply transformed eternal matter into forms, so Chaos (e.g. the primordial and formless unity of the elements) may precede the gods (this is a presocratic view, which is referred to by Aristotle as materialist). If the gods did come from Chaos (as espoused in many myths) then whence cometh form from the formless?

What this won't take care of though is heavy metals and other stuff that bioaccumulates in the human body, but there are ways of getting that stuff out of the soil too. Sunflowers are generally pretty good at sucking up everything in soil so they can be used to help reduce contaminants (just make sure that once they are grown you go bury them somewhere else to help return the contents to the sedimentary layer).

I recently watched the Dreamworks Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Movie. It was pretty lame to be honest, and it's entire plot feels like a femcel movie where beautiful girls are evil and "ugly" non-traditionally beautiful girls are hidden beauties in a lazy "be yourself" message. It's a plot that has existed for a long time, but in this particular film it's quite a step over something like Heathers.
They were REALLY banking on discount Ariel to bring in tickets out of spiting Disney and it justifiably lost a lot more money simply because the movie was terrible looking and had a very mediocre story to begin with.
Now I've never liked yurishit because it's almost never good, but unironically I think the movie (probably) wouldn't have flopped (as hard) if it actually was a romance between Ruby and Chelsea instead of whatever nonsense it turned out to be. Sure some people wouldn't like a lesbian movie but if it's done tastefully it'd be at least interesting. Hell it has a typical "enemies to friends/lovers" vibe.
Also, it had a really bad schedule to release in movie theaters all around. The new Spiderverse movie just hit cinemas and was destroying the box office in money and the Mario movie was released to home video after it made a world record for highest grossing animated movie yet. Production wise it is a significant downgrade from Puss in Boots 2. But at least it has something for the fetish-audience; giantess, tentacles, etc.

TL;DR: It's a typical teen drama movie but as one review for it said, there's a simpler, more sincere movie underneath it all that seems to be taunting audiences, like a glowing shape from deep below. If they took some more time to streamline the story it would have been pretty good I think, though the art style was frankly too janky and Illumination-tier rubbery. It's similar to Turning Red tbh, an interesting concept playing with mythologies within a modern human society, but its done horribly. Cheap girl movies like Aquamarine were better executed than this.

Sorry to necropost here, but a few corrections:

• I think it’s unfair to paint the same brush on the examples used. Like Gumball shows tons of diversity in terms of animations styles (e.g., Gumball being a 2D cat, Tina being a 3D dinosaur, etc…) since it is supposed to be a surrealistic comedy.
  
  
• I think the style being so similar has less to do with “CalArts” and moreso with how the cited authors all worked on Adventure Time or similar productions that pioneered the “toonboom” style (e.g., the creators of Steven Universe and Regular Show having similar styles due to previously having worked in animating Adventure Time).
  
  
• Specifically with regards to She-Ra, the princesses are supposed to be minors at the start of the story, so it’s understandable why they are less curvaceous or adult-morphic compared to the previous iterations of the She Ra series
  
  
• As for the style taking over Tumblr, I can’t say for sure why, but I think it has to do with how easy and time-saving it is to replicate it on a digital format as well as animate it fluidly compared to the more anime style (e.g., Monsuno) which would require more time as well as better understanding of human anatomy that may be a hurdle for less seasoned artists.
  
  

I’m not trying to take away from your criticism, just that a few clarifications are needed. Of course, fast forward to 2026, now you have Netflix commissioning anime productions like Castlevania and DMC, Invincible airing on Amazon Prime with great acclaim, so we may see a shift away from it as far as adult animation goes, but that’s just a hunch.
