Godliness in Stone

  Scene 1 It smells like… time down here. Not just damp earth or rot, but something older. A primal scent that’s been waiting in the dark for a millennium. I’m recording this at the bottom of the scar somewhere in the anomaly. In my mind, it's called the Necropolis Gully . My helmet is trying to map it—casting these sterile, digital grids over the moss and the stone—but the data doesn’t make sense. It’s glitching. It’s shuddering against the reality of this place. I don't know why I'm here, looking at ruins. Just... debris. But in the ruins, I found the ghosts of a future that never happened. I was walking over shards of polymerised memories . This was once a city.  It was meant to be the heart of a new world that... simply stopped. It wasn't an engineering failure. It was a failure of existence. Holding that slate, I felt this... weight. The grief of the architect. The "wounds of unbuilt dreams." I realised then that this isn't a graveyard for people. It’...

Beyond Speed and Force - The Importance of Adaptability and the Bigger Picture

Lead like a Strategic Gamer

In any competitive situation, whether it’s a game, creating art, leading a new initiative, or facing life’s challenges, wisdom and foresight are more important than speed and force. The most significant victories are achieved by those who can see the bigger picture, adapt to change, and remain patient and courageous under pressure. Wisdom and Foresight: Keys to Success in Any Competitive Situation

Can You Really Game on a Mac Pro? JJFB Bennett Finds Out—The Hard Way!

🎮 Gaming enthusiasts, Apple die-hards, and digital strategists, brace yourselves! JJFB Bennett, our fearless (and slightly stubborn) content creator, embarked on a noble quest: to prove his gaming prowess to his three sons. Armed with his Apple Mac Pro M2, he envisioned glorious Counter-Strike victories, lightning-fast reflexes, and tactical domination. The reality? A laggy, glitch-filled disaster that made a PowerPoint presentation look fast.

The Counter-Strike Crisis

JJFB’s Apple Mac Pro, usually a high-performance machine, became an uncooperative relic when faced with Counter-Strike. Bullets moved in slow motion, characters teleported randomly, and the game transformed into a slideshow narrated by frustration. It turns out that even the mighty M2 chip can’t save you from MacOS gaming limitations.

A Ray of Hope? Assassin’s Creed and a Long-Awaited Revelation

Decades ago, one of his sons recommended Assassin’s Creed, raving about its historical accuracy. Like any all-knowing dad, JJFB ignored this advice. Now, years later, the memory resurfaced. Maybe—just maybe—his son had a point.

Determined to salvage his gaming aspirations, JJFB turned to the all-knowing digital oracle: ChatGPT. The verdict? Macs are not ideal for gaming. But JJFB, being a “staunch old fella” (read: stubborn), refused to back down.

Enter Parallels: The Pricey Workaround

A new strategy emerged: Parallels, a virtual machine that runs Windows on a Mac. After coughing up some hard-earned cash, JJFB was greeted with… a massive watermark. Windows wasn’t activated. More money was needed. The rage boiled. Was it worth another $303 to fight this ridiculous battle?

What’s Next? Steam, More Chaos, or Total Defeat?

The journey isn’t over! Will JJFB conquer his Mac’s limitations and finally download Steam? Or will the absurdity of running Windows on Mac claim another victim?

Podcast 03 Psychological Anchors

  Psychological Anchors The characters thus embody the classic dichotomy between logic/control (BK) and emotion/instinct (JB), a tension that becomes central to their survival when their advanced technology fails and they are forced into the realm of the psychological (the anomaly). They represent two vital, yet opposing, parts of the human response to existential chaos : the attempt to catalogue and talk through the terror, versus the primal urge to act and accept the turmoil. Psychological Anchors video What's the real story behind space tourists BK and JB ? Their identities are in constant flux—changing race, age, and form. Host Alex and guest Dr. V dive deep into this "multiverse" concept to explore the two constant, warring psychologies at the heart of the Subi crew : BK: The ultimate planner, driven by logic and an internal narrator .  JB: The ultimate instinct, driven by raw, non-verbal emotion and anxiety . How does a logical mind handle " Paraknowing "—...

The Kepler Kiss

  The Kepler Kiss A Cosmic Coffee Experience Imagine stepping into a bustling café aboard a deep-space station, where the air hums with the gentle vibrations of starships docking and departing. As you make your way to the counter, your senses are immediately captivated by the aroma of a futuristic beverage—the Keplar Kiss .  The Visual Delight Served in a matte-black ceramic mug , the Kepler Kiss is a sight to behold. Its rim glows with a turquoise light, casting an ethereal glow that accentuates the coffee's deep, cosmic allure. The drink itself is a masterpiece, with its surface shimmering like a miniature nebula . Swirls of indigo and violet dance gracefully, interspersed with flecks that resemble distant stars. As you gaze into this cosmic concoction, wisps of steam rise elegantly, forming spiral patterns that subtly mimic constellations. An Atmosphere of Retro-Industrial Sci-Fi The café is a harmonious blend of retro-industrial textures and high-tech sci-fi ambience. The...

Necropolis Gully

  Necropolis Gully Ancient Fertility  The only sound in the deep quiet of the crevice was the crunch of my boots on the debris-strewn ground. Towering stone walls, draped in vibrant green moss , rose on either side, making me feel like an intruder in a forgotten tomb . My matte-black suit , a product of a future this place could never have imagined, felt profane against the ancient rock . Then I saw it: a weathered, silent figure standing in the path. It was a statue of a woman , carved from the same stone as the gully but shaped with clear intent. Moss crept up its base and clung to its form like a second skin. This impossible artifact, an architectural anomaly in this raw, natural fissure , stopped me. My steady, determined posture belied the storm of questions raging in my mind. The statue stared forward with blank, unseeing eyes, a silent witness to a history I had just stumbled into. My mission was to find my crew, but this place, this silent, stone woman , was a new, un...
