Q: Which enemies can hurt me through walls?

I am planning to set up an AFK farm for various rare enemy drops and coins. My plan is to wall myself into a room surrounded by lava pits and maybe some traps on timers. I plan to wear clorophyte armor and a star veil to gain some automated attacks. I plan to set these up at various biomes and a...

Sterno

Hour late update: "Yeah" is also an acceptable answer for "Do you really like candies?"

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno What about "Quite"

Sterno

Apparently it accepts: "yes","y","yeah","yeap","yep"

if I'm looking at the right javascript

The one with candies backwards accepts "c", "letterc", "theletterc"

Man, I should go update these answers!

OrigamiRobot

15:04

@Sterno answer* :P

FEichinger

@Sterno You should. Flesh them out with references from the code.

Sterno

The hat one is: "wet","itbecomeswet","itbecomewet","becomeswet","becomewet","itgetswet","itgetwe‌t","itswet","itgotwet","itiswet","itiswetnow","itswetnow","float","floats","itflo‌ats","itsfloating","itisfloating","floating","itfloat"

FEichinger

That's what I've been suggesting for them ever since we started talking about the answers being low quality.

RedRiderX

Having connections with so many Fallen London factions can lead to quite a few... conflicts of interest.

Sterno

Honestly, though, knowing all the possibilities really isn't important. Solving the riddle is the core problem, not knowing every possible solution.

OrigamiRobot

15:06

@Sterno The best answer is obviously the one with the fewest characters.

FEichinger

@Sterno I'd prefer if we were just giving hints to the solution and then adding a code-referenced list of valid solutions.

Sterno

I do see some value to people in hints, but man, I get annoyed when someone leaves JUST a hint.

It's like "No, dude, I asked because I want the answer"

RedRiderX

Right now I'm dealing with a spy that wants to join the church, a devil that wants my help in some slightly heretical pranks, and a certain urchin that's drawn some infernal attention.

All in a day's work on the streets of Fallen London. :P

Sterno

FEichinger

@Sterno That's why I said, hint, then full list.

Sterno

15:09

@FEichinger I know. That is an acceptable method.

Though usually, by the time I'm googling it, I don't want a hint. I just want the answer.

FEichinger

I'd usually prefer hints myself, but at least the option to find the solution right there as well, if I'm still stumped.

@FEichinger I even answered a question this way! gaming.stackexchange.com/a/81053/3062

Q: What do the various spells do?

I have a couple spell grimoires, and some of the spells are obvious, or repeated from the original, but Teleport doesn't seem to do anything, and some of the others I have no idea what they do. What do the spells do?

candy-box-2

Sterno

@Lazers Another potential problem with consolidated questions is that sometimes when asking, you don't know what the scope is at the time you ask, so it turns out that separate questions would have been better. Yet in such cases, unless it's terribly obvious, we don't close as too broad

Unionhawk

15:15

GOOD MORNING PEOPLES

and ~~robots~~, and turtles, etc

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno I don't think that's a reason for asking separate questions at all...

Rather, the opposite.

fbueckert

@Unionhawk Morning!

OrigamiRobot

@Unionhawk No

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Fine, good almost-noon then.

OrigamiRobot

@Unionhawk That's not the part I take issue with.

Unionhawk

15:20

@OrigamiRobot ...

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot If you're referring to "not knowing which way to go", I agree. I'm commenting more on the fact that its' really hard to narrow the scope sometimes retroactively, and we should probably be better at that sometimes. THis particular question is probably fine

fbueckert

Pretty sure this is spam, and quite innaccurate, too

Sterno

but if Teleport needs a page-long answer all by itself, and you still have 8 spells to go... yikes

The problem is, the asker often doesn't know.

Which also means he might ask just about teleport if that's the one he's curious about.

(which is also fine)

FAE

Ugh, my bike tire went flat partway to the place I needed to get to today. -_-

@FEichinger Hats are good. Even kittens wear hats.

OrigamiRobot

Man, Google is so bad for spelling skills.

Unionhawk

@FAE This stupid robot doesn't understand the concept of "good morning" meaning "Yes mornings suck, but screw you have a better one"

Powerlord

Anyway, someone let me know when the TF2 Halloween update hits.

fbueckert

@FAE Have you checked out any of the trailers for City of Titans?

Powerlord

I may have to do damage control when it does.

OrigamiRobot

15:26

I couldn't remember how to spell "Renaissance" so I just typed in "renasance" knowing it was wrong but would be corrected. Then I clicked the link I wanted and learned nothing.

FAE

@fbueckert I'm backing at the Dynamic Duo level at the moment.

fbueckert

@FAE I had been thinking of backing of it.

But mostly, it just makes me miss City of Heroes that much more. :(

Powerlord

fbueckert

I really hope the manage to reverse engineer it enough for private servers.

FAE

@fbueckert Same. They're very ambitious, but I really want something to come of this. Also I'm in an IRC chat with the project lead so I'd feel guilty if I didn't back at least something. :P

Unionhawk

Wipqozn

Sterno

Unionhawk

@fbueckert You don't know my email. (spolier alert: I killed unionhawk@gmail years ago due to spam)

@fbueckert It'll send you an email with the code in it, you'll have to tell me that code.

fbueckert

@FAE Shall do.

FAE

@fbueckert No idea what the expiration is on it.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn I'm on to your tricks. My great-grandma used to always say, "Never trust a turtle." Now I know why.

fbueckert

15:46

I'd go with, "my steam username @ gmail", but that's not nearly as professional.

Sterno

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy That's specist.

fbueckert

Wipqozn

@fbueckert I just use several different emails and then forward them all to one central one.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn Yeah... >_> My great grandma was also incredibly racist.

Unionhawk

15:47

@Wipqozn ...that's a word?

Sterno

[email protected] is already taken.

fbueckert

Although, I just verified the link in the email, and it may make the confirmation unnecessary.

Speciesism

Speciesism (also referred to as human supremacismEnvironmental Culture: The Ecological Crisis of Reason By Val Plumwood) involves the assignment of different values, rights, or special consideration to individuals solely on the basis of their species membership. The term is mostly used by animal rights advocates, who argue that speciesism is a prejudice similar to racism or sexism, in that the treatment of individuals is predicated on group membership and morally irrelevant physical differences. The argument is that species membership has no moral significance. The term is used to embra...

@fbueckert Ah, we should be good then.

Yeah, missed that.

@Wipqozn Not as bad as Star Command. That's over a year overdue, and they sucked at actually telling their backers until after the fact.

Wipqozn

@Wipqozn I have a three year old that struggles with that. Says a lot about the lyrical content of the song.

That's good advice.

I take it you did just that and something terrible happened/

badp

16:00

actually I was running fish, which has an incompatible syntax with bash

OrigamiRobot

@Ullallulloo So? Not memorizing a URL somehow makes me lose this weird game?

badp

so probably 90% of the 2,478 lines I pasted didn't actually get to run

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot that's not always the intention. Sometimes it's just a shared joke. They're laughing with you, not at you. That's what makes it meme-y.

FEichinger

@badp That doesn't really make it any better.

Now you don't know what it actually did.

Sterno

I mean, maybe you aren't laughing, but its not to make you look dumb, I think

OrigamiRobot

16:01

@Sterno But there is no joke.

badp

@FEichinger that was the punchline.

Private Pansy

@badp I'm far more worried about the 10% that did

@OrigamiRobot pretending you are a robot isn't directly a joke either, but its fun so we play along

Wipqozn

We're not pretending.

If someone tells me too look at something, I'm going to look. It would be stupider not to look.

Stupidity isn't a factor!

Jason Berkan

When I was a kid, the Canadian dollar sucked versus the US and my grandma in the states would send me a money order on my birthday. I always loved the way $15 of her dollars became $19 of mine.

Private Pansy

@JasonBerkan It only makes you rich in Canada

OrigamiRobot

@JasonBerkan Nah, she must have known. $15 is too round a number for a grandma check.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Actually, she would send $1 per year, so I got $15 when I was 15.
