Even better, some show examples of natural cellular automata!

Tap for spoiler
From the Shards of Earth book trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
I finished the children of time series and cage of souls a few months ago. Love the words he builds, tho I kinda feel like he struggles to end his story’s strong
I didn’t read the Cage of Souls [yet], but the Shards of Earth series had a very strong ending and clean wrap up.
I found the beginning of the first book was a bit unsettling at first, with the character’s styles seemingly dab a bit into fantasy, but the author quite nicely turned things around after.
What timing. I literally just put down the book after reading chapter 12 and checked Lemmy.
It’s keeping track of how many times it’s seen a human so it won’t forget.
One of my favourite recurring enemies from doctor who.
I thought it was a weird paper & pen roleplaying dice
If Lovecraft and L. Ron Hubbard had collaborated
Neat!
This looks a lot like Rule 45 with randomness mixed in

The fuck, this is the ancient form of life used in all cthulhu cults!!
It has the rune of the ancient chants ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn
Ok, pls someone summon some of the great ones already??
Great Ones or Great Old Ones? Personally I’d take the intervention of any higher power at this point.
Great Old Ones!
But even some fish people storming world superpowers would be ok.
Or a small roaming crack in reality pulling or grabbing people in it’s vicinity.
A disembodied powerless voice whispering people into catatonic madness maybe (like a Cthulhu understudy or something).
Anything really.
Iä! Iä!
hear me.out… what if
Looks like a literal manifestation of the game of life.
Thought this would turn our to be some sort of bivalve scrimshaw. Nope! They do be like that.
