Looks like cubism. If so, it’s a way of expressing different 3D views into 2D, to put it very simply. If you like the composition here, perhaps you’d like Francis Picabia.

You’ve kinda answered your own question there. That’s what CAD is for. To create what you’re after, you’d be using the same backend capabilities which are already computationally expensive, mapped out within a game engine. The result would likely be an expensive bit of training/simulation software that’s redundant to both engineers and machinists, and out of the price range of any home builder.

Accessibility is what you’re after, and I can sympathise. I think ANSYS Discovery was made with that in mind, and it’s available in the academic version.

I generate models with code and use a pythonic API to automatically simulate them in testbed conditions. It wouldn’t be far off to create extra scenarios, but each time you make one it would take a bit of knowledge to put together.

The reason behind building around the farm seems to be something quite practical:

“The myth was somewhat debunked last year when a recently unearthed documentary revealed that a geological fault, rather than an awkward farmer, was the real reason for Stott Hall, which lies west of Huddersfield, in West Yorkshire, being left in that peculiar location.”

My wife puts on RyconRoleplays or ChristopherOdd in the background sometimes when she’s having trouble sleeping. Rycon might have the voice you’re looking for; Odd’s narration depends on the game he’s playing, he likes to set the mood in more atmospheric games, and he reads out every bit of lore.

Clarkesworld is a sci-fi magazine with free audio versions on their site, plus on Spotify as a podcast. I’d recommend “The very Pulse of the Machine” personally as an intro. It was adapted into a great episode of “Love, Death + Robots”.

Something new or unusual, with a hint of interesting. Say you came up with a way to use an established procedure to measure something in a way it hasn’t been before, and that data is genuinely interesting - that would be novel data.

Are you sure they weren’t automatoffs?

Not sure if you’re aware but the word ranger isn’t so much to do with being at a distance, as it does being on or patrolling a range (think forests, parks). That’s the natural connotation of the term.

Now when we apply that to fantasy, think of Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, or the Night’s Watch from Game of Thrones. Aragorn is introduced as a ranger, while the Night’s Watchmen fit similar duties as keepers of the wall and surrounding land (the range they’re charged with).

The theme of living off the land runs deep in the ranger fantasy, and so it gravitates to wooden bows and weapons with practical survival uses too.

Looks like he’s having a proper sage moment :’) “Duuude.. is this me having a realisation, or is it my brain cell.. what if he’s a pilot and my body his mecha, am I the brain cell having these thoughts”
