@GnomeSlice Sure, they're small in comparison to their effect radius, but nuclear bombs tend to be big. Tsar Bomba weighed 60,000 pounds (30 tons) and was 26 feet long with a 7 foot diameter.

@Yuki Atomic bombs require a fair amount of conventional explosives to detonate too

Yuki

@GnomeSlice I dunno, engineered bioweapons can get scarier.

Because we have quite a few safeties on nuclear weapons. Several systems can recover from one mistake when it comes to nuclear weapons. Bioweapons on the hand...

Kevin van der Velden

@boo this was the closest I believe

> 5. September 26, 1983
Soviet systems report US ICBM launches. The colonel on duty, fearing a false alarm, doesn’t recommend a counterstrike. The “missile plumes” turn out to be the glare of the sun, but Soviet high command reprimands him anyway.

@MartinSojka Maybe. People in mines might survive if they're far enough away.

tombull89

Yuki

@tombull89 Depends on whether I get ~~laser rifles~~ wazer wifles.

@tombull89 No way. Ground zero for me please. Being on the outskirts of a nuclear blast is far worse

Powerlord

Didn't more people die of thirst after Hiroshima than from the actual blast?

Martin Sojka

Basically, the end of humanity can be 5 minutes from now, and there's not a damn thing we can do about it until we finally move our arses out of the solar system, or at least establish colonies on different planets.

GnomeSlice

@boo I would assume most of them died of radiation poisoning

Private Pansy

@boo Instant incineration is far preferable than a slow and painful death from burns or radiation poisoning

tombull89

15:21

@KevinvanderVelden I thought the closest was the Norweigen rocket scare

FEichinger

I heard we're doing this?

tombull89

Norwegian rocket incident

The Norwegian rocket incident, also known as the Black Brant scare, occurred on January 25, 1995, when a team of Norwegian and American scientists launched a Black Brant XII four-stage sounding rocket from the Andøya Rocket Range off the northwestern coast of Norway. The rocket, which carried scientific equipment to study the aurora borealis over Svalbard, flew on a high northbound trajectory, which included an air corridor that stretches from Minuteman-III nuclear missile silos in North Dakota, all the way to the Russian capital city of Moscow. During its flight, the rocket eventuall...

boo

@GnomeSlice Nope, that takes longer

@PrivatePansy Or thirst, seriously

Testimony of Hiroshima survivor

tombull89

"During its flight, the rocket eventually reached an altitude of 1,453 kilometers (903 mi), resembling a U.S. Navy submarine-launched Trident missile. As a result, Russian nuclear forces were put on high alert, and the nuclear weapons command suitcase was brought to Russian president Boris Yeltsin, who then had to decide whether to launch a nuclear barrage against the United States"

so...that could have turned nasty.

Yuki

> "The Norwegian rocket incident was the first and only incident where any nuclear weapons state had its nuclear suitcases activated and prepared for launching an attack."

Powerlord

15:22

@KevinvanderVelden More detailed article about that

Kevin van der Velden

@tombull89 I'm not sure, the thing me and @Powerlord are referring to was during a time everyone expected an attack and was literally one man going "No, the system that is saying a missile is incoming is mistaken" and not reporting it upstairs

boo

@EonRustedduPlessis I appreciate the time you're taking looking for this, and trying to keep your answer updated as the game changes. I think it would be beneficial to get rid of some of that extra info... we don't really need a copy of the full wiki entry on pixels. That 51% number is actually kind of misleading. The main points we care about for this question is "Can you save them somewhere?" (the answer appears to be "Yes") and "How do you save them somewhere?" (which I'm not sure we know the answer to) — Sterno 53 secs ago

I'm the King of PoliteTown!

Or maybe mayor. I'm not sure PoliteTown has a king

I'll have to get the city council to pass a resolution to rename Mayor to King

FEichinger

@Sterno I don't think PoliteTown's Council would be polite enough to do so.

Braiam

@FEichinger the first thing to enter policy is stop to be polite

Sterno

Wow. The City Council of PoliteTown is a bunch of dicks.

Jason Berkan

Nah, they would be too polite to pass any resolutions, because each councillor would politely let another councillor speak first.

If they could even get in the council room, as they all politely held the door for each other.

Now I can't help but think of the masterful political stylings of Jar Jar Binks

Padme was pretty much the worst senator ever, letting him take over for her. If she hadn't died in childbirth, her people would have killed her.

Q: What is Ascension?

I am confused by what the wiki says about ascending. Is it the end of the game? Is there more quests after ascending? Some light shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Q: How do spells improve?

I just learned a Heal Self I spell and in hovering over it, I see that it is rank 1 of 11 and improves at level 2. How does it increase in rank and level?

Q: Can I control the rotation of the abode?

Around settlements, it's usually a priority to squeeze in the abodes as tightly as possible. When I did this the first time, I managed to get a fairly straight grid, maximizing the number of abodes under influence of the settlement. However, when it comes to building my second settlement, I not...

I think I broke chat with a picture of Jar Jar.

> Not really raging about it, but I'd like to know why this is being done? I understand it's beta and all but personally, I also understand that my card was charged for 13,99€, so excuse me when I'm a little annoyed about this.

People really don't understand Early Access

Jason Berkan

17:49

I don't understand it. Pay us for an unfinished game that we may or may not finish, and it may or may not be the game you expect when we are done.

Sterno

You understand what it is. You just don't understand why you'd want to buy at that stage.

Jason Berkan

Given that I don't buy games until they are > 2 years old (and all the hype surrounding them has died down), that is very true.

Unionhawk

Yeah, these people don't understand what they've signed up for whatsoever.

Honestly, it comes down to the fact that every goddamn developer these days wants to be the new Mojang...

So they release their game in beta and hope it becomes the new Minecraft

Sterno

Well, why get paid next year for what you can get paid for today?

Unionhawk

This is true.

I think it helped that minecraft is a game that works with early access, it's infinite, so loads of people will be playing it the whole time as it is made.

Sterno

Kind of like Starbound

3ventic

@Sterno nop

I already sort of got bored of Starbound..

Ronan Forman

Some games just don't work that way. I think KSP is one, it's kind of got a set list of things you want to do, and when you run out the game is over.

3ventic

I need to wait for the game to be more done

Unionhawk

KSP to a lesser extent than some, even.

Sterno

@3ventic How is that different than Minecraft?

Unionhawk

There have been some pretty godawful early access games that really just don't hold up well in a dynamic beta.

3ventic

@Sterno it's not about building stuff?

That Brazilian Guy

What's the difference between the OUYA 8GB Console and the OUYA 16GB Console ?

Unionhawk

1 has 8GB 1 has 16GB, I imagine.

Probably just storage space. But I could be wrong.
