Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

===============================================================================
Alchemy is an ancient tradition, the primary objective of which was the creation of the mythical
"philosopher's stone," which was said to be capable of turning base metals into gold or silver, and also act as an
elixir of life that would confer youth and immortality upon its user. Alchemy can be viewed as a proto-science, a
precursor to modern chemistry, having provided procedures, equipment, and terminology that are still in use.
However, alchemy also included various non-scientific mythological, religious, and spiritual concepts, theories
and practices. The best known goals of the alchemists were the transmutation of common metals into Gold
or Silver
The philosopher's stone was the central symbol of the mystical terminology of alchemy, symbolizing
perfection at its finest, enlightenment, and heavenly bliss. Efforts to discover the philosopher's stone were
known as the Magnum Opus or Great Work.
The philosopher's stone has been attributed with many mystical and magical properties. The most commonly
mentioned properties are the ability to transmute base metals into gold or silver, and the ability to heal all forms
of illness and prolong the life of any person who consumes a small part of the philosopher's stone. Other
mentioned properties include: creation of perpetually burning lamps, transmutation of common crystals into
precious stones and diamonds, reviving of dead plants, creation of flexible or malleable glass, or the
creation of a clone or golem.
Interpretations
The various names, and attributes assigned to the philosopher's stone has led to long-standing speculation on its
composition and source. Candidates have been found in metals, plants, rocks, chemical compounds, and
bodily products such as hair, urine, and eggs.
===============================================================================
2.)Magnum opus (alchemy)
7. The Great Work (Latin: Magnum opus) is an alchemical term for the process of creating the philosopher's stone.
It has been used to describe personal and spiritual TRANSMUTATION, attached to laboratory processes and
chemical color changes, used as a model for the individuation process.
Expansion on the four stages
Stages:
1. Calcination 7. Cibation
2. Solution (or Dissolution) 8. Sublimation
3. Separation 9. Fermentation
4. Conjunction 10. Exaltation
5. Putrefaction 11. Multiplication
6. Congelation 12. Projection
In another example from the sixteenth century, Samuel Norton gives the following fourteen stages:
1. Purgation 8. Conjunction
2. Sublimation 9. Putrefaction in sulphur
3. Calcination 10. Solution of bodily sulphur
4. Exuberation 11. Solution of sulphur of white light
5. Fixation 12. Fermentation in elixir
6. Solution 13. Multiplication in virtue
7. Separation 14. Multiplication in quantity
Some alchemists also circulated steps for the creation of practical medicines and substances that have little to do
with the magnum opus. The cryptic and often symbolic language used to describe both ads to the confusion, but
it's clear that there is no single standard step-by-step recipe given for the creation of the philosopher's stone.
===============================================================================
Flora(Garden), Fauna(Gathering Sites), Materia (Mine)
GATHERING SITES FOR AIR WATER FIRE EARTH MANA.
CERTAIN PLACES IN CERTAIN REGIONS ALLOW FOR COLLECTION OF CERTAIN FAUNA
Setting: castle workshop or kitchen
You are a local alchemist and you are trying to gain in power. The local town will have a list of things they need
and you must provide. As towns consume potions and spells, your powers and abilities as an alchemist will
improve, as well as power over that region. This will bring you closer to the sorcerer's stone.
STAGES:
COLLECTION,->RECIPE> REFINEMENT (alchemical prcoesses),-> COMBINING,-> COOKING or
smelting,-> USING OR SELLING RESULTS (storing)-> Region control increases -> Gold Increase-
>Planetary alignment increases -> -> experience increases -> more potions, weapons, recipes, and spells
available -> more processes available -> more bonuses from alignment leveling >
WHATS THE REWARD :
EXPERIENCE
GOLD
8. MORE FLORA
MORE RECIPES
MORE SPELLS/PTION RECIPES
LEVELING UP AS AN ALCHEMIST ->

JOURNEYMAN
SKILLED
MAD SCIENTIST

USABLE ITEMS: SPELLS, POTIONS, TESTING POTIONS ON "Units" in the dungeon to see the effects of
potions or to punish captains in your army.
UNUSABLE ITEMS, ARMOR, TALISMANS, RECIPES
MUST INCREASE NOTERIETY, EXPERIENCE, GOLD, ALIGNMENT
Demand for Items will increase and decrease so you can’t sell anymore of some items to certain regions.
A helper alchemist (EGOR) will talk user through first steps as well as give hints and tips along the way
Eventually your Noteriety increases so your wares can reach farther and farther towns.
===============================================================================
Go to your map and see your influence grow in different regions. Different regions need different
wares depending on alignment. Each town or region will need wares of a particular
alignment or of particular use. As you provide more items needed, your power over that region and that
region will give you more money per hour / minute
IF THE USER'S SATURN BAR IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH, HE CANNOT INFLUENCE REGIONS THAT
NEED SATURN POTIONS.
===============================================================================
WHATS THE CHALLENGE ::
COOKING --> ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN, FIRES CAN HARM YOUR WORKSHOP AND YOU MUST
REBUILD FURNACES
MUST CREATE WAYS TO SET BACK PLAYER
Potions can fizzle!!!!—Recycle what you can
Cannot always have all the elements required. Must study for them, grow them, and mine for
them.
HOW DO I MAKE THIS GAME NEVER ENDING, MUST BE CASUAL AND NEVER ENDING
===============================================================================
9. ---------------General processes-----------------
Liquefaction of gases - for ease of transportation Freeze drying - removal of excess liquid
Scrubber - removing of pollution from exhaust gases
Smelting - chemically enhancing metals
Pyroprocessing - using heat to chemically combine materials, such as in cement.
Pyroprocessing (from Greek ????? = fire) is a process in which materials are subjected to high temperatures
(typically over 800°C) in order to bring about a chemical or physical change. Pyroprocessing includes such terms
as ore-roasting, calcination and sintering. Equipment for pyroprocessing includes kilns, electric arc furnaces and
reverberatory furnaces.
Cement manufacturing is a very common example of pyroprocessing. The raw material mix (raw meal) is fed to a
kiln where pyroprocessing takes place. As with most industries, pyroprocessing is the most energy-intensive part
of the industrial process.
---------Blacksmithing processes------
There are several physical processes for reshaping a material by cutting, folding, joining or polishing, developed
on a large scale from workshop techniques.
Forging - the shaping of metal by use of heat and hammer
Casting - shaping of a liquid material by pouring it into moulds and letting it solidify
Machining - the mechanical cutting and shaping of metal
Progressive stamping - the production of components from a strip or roll
Sandblasting - cleaning of a surface using sand or other particles
Soldering, Brazing, Welding - a process for joining metals
Case hardening, Differential hardening, Shot peening - creating a wear resistant surface
Die cutting - A "forme" or "die" is pressed onto a flat material to cut, score, punch and otherwise shape the
material.
Forge press
MOLDING FOR PLATE MAIL AND PLATE LEGGINGS / HELMETS
-----------Alchemical processes-------------
Processing mana and elements -
Centrifuge for separating solid and liquid
Oven or furnace for heating solid to liquid or refinement of metals
Distillation --->Mini games
10. Evaporating liquid and capturing gas
Filtration of liquids
Liquid air is air that has been cooled to very low temperatures (cryogenic temperatures) so that it has
condensed to a pale blue mobile liquid
Distillation
Smelting - the generic process used in furnaces to produce steel, copper, etc.
Crucible steel
Cementation process
57. Filtration
The process or removing the grosser parts of a substance by passing through a strainer, filter or cloth.
11. Circulation
The purification of a substance by a circular distillation in a pelican or closed distillation apparatus.
8. Corrosion
The Heating up of a substance by an acid, alkali or corrosive material.
18. Combustion
The burning of a substance in the open air.
22. Concoction
The cooking or heating of a mixture of substances at a moderate heat for an extended period.
30. Crystallization
The formation of crystals out of a solution of the substance usually in water, either by their gradual formation
from the liquid, or by evaporation of the liquid.
37. Detonation
The explosive burning of substances on heating, for example substances mixed with nitro.
38. Digestion
The slow modification of a substance by means of a gentle heat.
39. Disintegration
The breaking down or dissociation of a substance into different parts
43. Distillation
The separation of a volatile component from a substance by heating so as to drive off the component as a vapour
which is condensed and collected in a cooler part of the apparatus.
51. Evaporation
The removal of the watery part of a substance by gentle heating, or being left a long time in a dry place.
56. Fermentation
The rotting of a substance, usually of an organic nature, often accompanied by the release of gas bubbles.
62. Fusion
The joining of powdered substances together, or the conversion of a substance into a new form, by means of an
extremely high degree of heat, sometimes using a flux.
77. Liquefaction
The turning of a solid material into a liquid, either by melting or dissolving.
81. Melting
The reduction of a metal or substance to a liquid through heating.
11. --------------------------PLANETARY ALIGNMENT------------------
Planetary influences help us order and conceptualize the world differently from the way we usually do. Certainly
when working with plants, we notice that particular properties and characteristics tend to occur. Perceiving plants
from the perspective of their planetary influence can show us relationships between plants and their uses that we
would otherwise miss. Plants have great knowledge to share with us, if only we will open ourselves to them and
experience them as subjects rather than as objects.
Using the planetary system to learn about plants is one way to begin that process. You can also use the planets as
a handy way to order spiritual influences present in various plants.
ALIGNMENTS: sun moon mercury venus mars jupiter saturn neptune uranus Pluto
On the completion of potions/talismans/spells player will increase in certain planetary alignmnet. Once the
players has reached enough experience they can unlock bonuses on the planetary alignment bonus tree.
As the user makes potions, the plants used to make them, whether they are moon saturn or pluto will increase
planetary alignment bars for each.
once bars are full the user comes closer to aquiring socerers stone
ALSO - If a user makes a potion with more moon plants then the resulting potion will add to the moon
"Planetary influence bar". Each planet gives bonuses (BONuSES!!!) to the user. Once the bar is full, the
user lvls up that bar and obtains a new bonus
NO GODS , THE USER IS CONNECTED TO PLANETARY SYSTEM, SPIRIT OF THE EARTH FOR
EXAMPLE :: HEALING POTIONS ADD TO MOON ALIGNMENT
---------------------------------Flora----------------------------------
Flora are materials which are derived from herbs and other plants
The gatherer may need to drain the sap of a plant in the darkness of night, for example,
to obtain the substance in its most potent form.
Flora are frequently processed by drying or boiling, but occasionally more intricate methods are possible. The
silkroot, for example, is filled with fine, long fibers which must be carefully separated from the meaty pulp of the
root in order to make use of their potent Spirit Potential Omnessence. Silkroot fibers are extremely fragile until
they have been separated from the pulp and soaked in vinegar for several hours. After processing, the fibers are
stronger, although still fine and easily broken. Silkroot fibers can be tied into intricate knot patterns to form
Runes, or mixed with other fibers to make Alchemical papyrus or paper upon which Runes can be inked.

--------------------------------- Fauna ------------------------------
Fauna are materials derived from creatures of all varieties.) Fauna are often collected as bodily fluids, dried
and/or powdered bones or shells, but may also take other forms. The hides of certain beasts are sometimes cured
and used as leather or parchment, for example. Other parts may be processed through more involved methods,
extracting the essence of the animal into another medium, such as a liquid solution or gas.
Can gain fauna by torturing units to death with spells and
potions. (orcs blood). Must send units to harvesting sites to
capture fauna. Must battle to win fauna.

13. --------------------------Materia--------------------------
MATERIA MUST BE MINED
Materia are inanimate and inorganic forms of Potential Omnessence. Typical Materia include certain rare metals,
precious stones and crystals, and even certain naturally occurring fluids (such as waters from a spring in a magical
Locus, for example).
As with other categories of Alchemical substances, Materia may be uniquely magical substances, or simply
exceptional samples of more commonly found materials.
Like Flora and Fauna, the Potentical Omnessence of Materia may be concentrated, as in the case of metallic ores,
where the metal must be refined from the raw ore in order to Access the substance in its usable form
Materia may be found as rocks in riverbeds, mined from veins in the earth, or extracted from unusual areas like
salt flats,mud baths, volcanic calderas, or deep subterranean wells.(region map)

Alchemical Gold
Alchemical Gold is processed in similar fashion to its more mundane counterpart - the metal is purified and
usually cast into small ingots. Alchemical gold is a mixture of "normal" gold and the Mystical essential gold.
Refining the metal into its Mystical form consists mainly of repeated purification which separates out the
"normal" gold, and leaves only the Mystical essence of the metal.
14. Amber
Amber is well-known for its energetic properties. One popular use for Mystical amber is the creation of
glowstones,
which give off a soft yet penetrating golden light.
Feather Water
Feather Water is so called because it feels unnaturally light to the touch, almost ephemeral. It is incredibly rare,
found only in a few submarine springs, where fresh water from underground sources emerges into the sea in a
Locus. Such water is difficult to collect, of course, but only needs to be distilled from any impurities to be used.
Firestones
Firestones are reddish-gleaming stones, usually found in areas of volcanic activity. Firestones in their Mystical
form actually glow reddish-orange and give off small amounts of heat, like coals in a fire.
True Jade
True Jade is distinguished from the more common variety by its deep translucent green hue and
glassy sheen. It is a powerful alchemical substance, but rarely used in its Alchemical form - it is almost
always refined to a Mystical form before use.
