if you fork too little, keep rolling

if you fork too much, remove fork and try again

it's as wrong as bringing a knife to a sushi

MBraedley

No, I think you mean bring a knife to spaghetti is as wrong as bring a knife to a sushi

quartata

I'm sure people do that

badp

Bringing a knife to spaghetti is as wrong as stabbing a sushi with the chopstick

that doesn't even work

badp

I don't know where eating sushi with a spoon falls on this scale

I imagine it's around the same level as eating sushi with a fork.

but not as easy

Hey now, I had to eat sushi with a fork for a long while before I finally got the motor skills down for chopsticks (and really it's a crapshoot how well I do on any particular day)

Q: Avoiding crash in risk of rain to get the miner character

Kevin van der Velden

It does not, but 500 meters is laughably low

DanmakuGrazer

The rocket he's going to use is just slightly better than coke + Mentos

MBraedley

@Chippies no, because the earth exists in a curved region of space time, but when that spacetime is reduced to 3 dimensions, the earth just forms a plane. Or something.

Chippies

8:31 PM

@KevinvanderVelden he could've just climbed on top of some of the tallest buildings in the world. There's lots of them taller than 500m

@MBraedley so, does it just loop once you reach the edge?

but like, how would that even look from distance/space? (hint: probably spherical)

I mean, a sphere is just a plane that has all its edges touching

Tim Stone

@Yuuki He worked around that by not believing in science

@murgatroid99 idk, I will try later though. I just got trying it like 5 times... and got stabbed every time

The Mattbat999

@murgatroid99 it may be he just moved really fast.

My memories are somewhat vague, but I think Old Dragonslayer was one of the bosses that I had an easier time beating without camera/target lock.

murgatroid99

@TheMattbat999 So, figure out what he does right before he does that, and start rolling when he telegraphs it

Because he has fast lunges, target lock can make things disorienting.
