Working crete

2026-03-05

Working crete is a little like working the forge of creation, if you squint and tilt your head to the side. It all starts with a melting, shedding mass at an inconceivable heat. As the last of the Impurities bubble and scrape away, the oozing block is ready to be shaped. A few quick strikes loosen a section, then a steady breath from the mouthpiece blows the newly liquid crete into a cogent form. Hammer, blow, inspect. Create, imbue, judge. Mold new forms and breath life into them. I'm not saying that I'm a god, I'm just saying I sympathize.

idk why but the game overgrowth, with its empty world and monolithic, geometric formations, has been a huge inspiration for me over the years. that's where "crete" comes from. it might actually be from the therium-2 mod, i don't remember
