This is a screenshot from @makeshifted, back in December 2022, that showed up in the last snapshot the Internet Archive could take of my twitter timeline. A repost with the annotation "3D was *that* awesome back in the Assembly 9x #demoscene days."
It showed up again a few times ago and I told to myself "you know, those stonekeys in Commander Keen ? Well, if I can make NDS 3D look that sleek, I won't need to pixelstudy them!
And it appeared again, posted by @benji__t this week-end while I'm doing my farewell tour on twitter.
Oh! look at that ...One possible system of Cartesian coordinate for the vertices of a regular icosahedron, giving the edge length 2, is: where denotes the golden ratio. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_icosahedron --
Take a tetrahedron of psi, split summit so that it turns into a 2-edge, and voilà! isocahedron !

those words above were written around the 19th of February, last year. I haven't written a single line of DSGL to make it appear in the infinite pyramid, and while I initially thought of using it as keygems, I realise that what they really be are the "magic stones" that you collect after defeating bosses.
