I was just messing with the clay and made the asteroid thingy, then the rest of the class insisted I add a Clanger. I mean, they weren't wrong 😀...

There are two types of people in the world... #Hobby #Pottery #Figurine #Sadness ? #Clanger ??

Two amateur pottery figures, one a possibly sad contemplative human female, the other a Clanger (tm) popping out of a crater (tm)...

If you have LODs it could be different ones engaging on adjoining meshes?

Nobody now knows how the ancients achieved this eerie "floating tomb" effect... #Ancient #Mystery #MonumuntalMasonry #HiddenWisdom #MustBeAliens

A small monument in an English churchyard. It's very worn and stands on four undecorated skinny metal bars, where whatever more ornate support there one was is now missing...

trying to complete missions via driving their human hosts through a human world they can barely understand... It was great fun, and a few first steps towards shedding our resolutely human conventions for game-design. [5/5]

...possibly the wildest actual encounter was Cthulhette, smallest and youngest of the Great Old Ones. She turned up because the cultists were arguing about who to summon *during* the ritual :-)

I once had two junior superheros exit a collapsing pocket dimension in a street-art painting of a submarine... ...though that's not exactly an encounter, more an exit...

I particularly like the idea of words pointing to other words and shrugging, unable to otherwise explain their meaning...

AI is an utter trash fire in this area, as it is in so many others, of course. So that's a new BAD THING impacting the situation, but we have to hope that will ramp down considerably, once the current round of ludicrous overoptimism (and just plain lying) settles down... [4/4]

It can also definitely work just as well for a diagonal and there is even the possibility of a diagonal T-shaped inject where you have say, top-left, right and bottom nodes, and the right nodes move right, the bottom nodes move down 1/2 [5/5]
