@TimStone well that was terrifying.

@Dragonrage @badp New champion is an AD assassin.

@Yuuki I was commenting on yuumi that I would expect a cat to be super territorial, not a dog with whiskers

cats don't follow people around into danger

cats mark their territory and defend it

so I was expecting to find a cat like hero to kind of be like "this is my turf, come if you dare"

turns out that's kiiiind of qiyana?

Yuuki

@badp Oh, you mean Yuumi.

badp

oh yeah sorry

typo was not intentional

I guess she's meant to be a jungler

given how her R will be at its most powerful on river

or near walls

and that's like the entirety of the jungle

?

Yuuki

19:02

Given her abilities, she could probably be a top flex.

But mid is lacking significant terrain for her to take advantage of.

Actually, not so much lacking significant terrain as much as lacking variety of terrain.

In mid lane, it's wall and only wall. The brushes and river are too far to the side, although I suppose you could pick those up when roaming.

For whoever likes indie games, this humble monthly has moonlighter, which is a fun game overallm and also Hellblade

And to be fair this last one was disapointing

Maybe duskers will be something worthwhile

Yuuki

Moonlighter is super-fun although I haven't finished it.

It kinda needs some variety to the gameplay, tbh.

Moacir

It looks like there is an update coming

Not sure if it is DLC or base

Yuuki

19:18

I hope it's not just more dungeons though.

Moacir

@Yuuki Is there farming?

Yuuki

I haven't touched it in a few months and I was either on the third dungeon or almost finished with the second.

@Moacir Like Stardew Valley/Harvest Moon? No.

It's purely dungeon crawler + shop management, think Recettear.

The inventory management system was fun though.

Q: Old computer game I can't remember the name of

After hour after hour googling to find the name of an "ancient" game, I gave up.. I believe it was from the 90s, 2000 at the latest. In looking for the name of a game, where you Were controlling a helicopter. Top-down, slightly tilted view. The game were level based, where you'd advance furth...

@Lazers2.0 I know the kind of game this is, it looks like a generic "cut the area" game, but with helicopter theme

Dragonrage

@Yuuki looks interesting. Will have to watch the videos when I’m off work

Chippies

@Moacir you can find games like that by searching for qix-like or qix clones

Moacir

@Chippies I had no idea how that was called. Thanks!

Q: How many players could I put on my Starbound server?

I'd like to have a semi-public Starbound dedicated server for my Twitch stream, but I'm concerned about performance. My specs are as follows: Intel i5-6600 @ 3.3 GHz w/ turbo to 3.7 GHz 16 GB DDR4 RAM GTX 1060 3 GB 1 TB HDD 250 GB SSD I would also be playing along with anyone else. Would t...

Q: What is the point of the redeem tab in Fallout Shelter?

In Fallout Shelter there is a tab in the lunchbox section titled "redeem". I was wondering where or how I get things to redeem for it? Thanks in advance.

Maximillian

Try this again in the right place. Question: Was there a change in the Stack platform policies or procedures that has prompted moderator exodus? Long term moderators on RPG have stepped down in recent as well.

murgatroid99

As a mod who is not stepping down, I am not aware of any recent changes like that

Yuuki

Long-term mods stepping down could just be that, been modding for quite some time and don't feel like continuing.

And there could be a ripple effect, seeing someone who has been a mod for awhile just like you stepping down makes you think about stepping down.

Maximillian

Thanks. Was curious if there was something that prompted all of this higher up that I missed. Ripple effect makes sense.

Back into the void. Have a nice day.

Chippies

To add to it - there were probably many mods who weren't really modding and seeing that other inactive mods are quitting prompted them to take action as well

(pretty much what Yuuki said)

Yuuki

20:32

@Dragonrage @badp Huh, so apparently her W (dash that chooses an "element") resets her Q.

user15026

@Maximillian nope.

user15026

For me it was literally just "I do not have time" and I guess that prompted others here to also think about if they had time.

I have no idea if this will help, but I tweeted about the lack of Twitter oneboxes.

Chippies

@Ash but because it didn't onebox, no one saw it

:P

Unionhawk

@Dragonrage yeah that definitely isn't true, I had a reverse engineering gig comment on my non-preference of assembly

user15026

@Chippies giggles

Unionhawk

Unless it changed since then

Nzall

21:27

@Ash I appreciate the gesture, but I'm not sure bounties on meta would make any difference. The only people who can fix them are the devs, and they probably already got loads of rep

user15026

@Nzall Oh, it's less a carrot and more "HEY REMEMBER THIS THING EXISTS"

user15026

Same with the tweet, it's more a Navi-style "hey, listen!" (and if people wanna amplify it, that might help?)

Dragonrage

@Unionhawk interesting. i was just pinging @Wipqozn to remind him how much he hated php

Chippies

So, my medical/dental benefits rollercoaster wants me to mail a form and my printer ran out of ink... 70$ later, I have to wait for amazon to deliver the ink before I can continue this wild ride

I didn't even pay 70$ for my printer... >.<

user15026

aaaaaaaargh omg

Chippies

21:35

what is the logic behind ink costing more than the printer + ink combined?

is it just companies preying on the people that don't want to destroy environment or what?

I mean, yeah, my printer was on a black friday deal and the ink cartridges I ordered are larger than the ones that came with the printer

but our previous printer was a 30$ HP and the ink was 37$, same size as what comes with the printer...

went through 2 printers before I decided to invest in a slightly better printer and just buy ink, instead of new printer every year, lmao

Nzall

Printer ink is literally the most expensive liquid on earth

Oh wait, only the 8th most expensive liquid: 2,700 USD per gallon

Dragonrage

insulin is more expsenive

or like scorpion venom i think is really expensive

Ronan

@Dragonrage Only in one country

Nzall

beyondtype1.org/the-10-most-expensive-liquids-in-the-world

> Scorpion Venom $39,000,000 per gallon

I'm not sure if there's even enough scorpions on the planet to make a full gallon of their venom

Unionhawk

@Dragonrage I wonder if they get more info if you message them though

room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat, wherein we eagerly await the end of the Year of Wipqozn. [-♦♦♦♦] [gaming] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [-mods] [murder] [-pedantry] [-politics]

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn year of Wipqzon end on the 18th right?

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage Sadly, yes.

Dragonrage

its a short year, but I dont think we could handle a longer year of Wipqozn

user15026

@Ronan my cat's insulin is... $60 for 10ml? Something like that. Not too bad.

Ronan

It's still pretty expensive as far as liquids go

Unionhawk

22:02

And as far as liquids we have been able to synthesize for a hundred years go (idk if cat insulin is different)

Ronan

I meant even at UK prices it's way more expensive than like... orange juice

user15026

22:24

@Ronan nods I just know it's not America prices

user15026

@Unionhawk nope, it's the same stuff as people

Ave

@Ash welp, that's how much I pay for the same amount of EV.

On average how long does 10ml of insulin last on a cat that needs it?

user15026

@Ave Couple months, if I don't drop the damn glass vial on my tile floor :P

Mad Scientist

@Ronan there's far, far more expensive stuff if you go to research chemicals

Ave

@Ash ah, now that's a relatable thing.

user15026

22:26

(I've cracked two that way, so they leaked and I lost some of it)

Ave

The Mattbat999

Ouch. That sucks

Mad Scientist

Try double labelled fmoc tryptophan at 5000 EUR per 0.1g

user15026

@Ave Mine are slightly different bottles (they have this little stopper thing in the end that helps me not lose so much) but yeah I feel you there

Ave

@MadScientist you wouldn't really have those at home though, would you

unlike insulin or hrt

The Mattbat999

22:32

me, just back here lurking

Mad Scientist

@Ave No, you wouldn't. But I suspect that there are actually drugs that are similarily expensive if you calculate it per weight or volume. I just don't have any experience with those

The Mattbat999

I wonder... is it possible to liquify gemstones like emeralds or rubies?

dly

if you calculate per application, I got injections for 60 euros / piece and my insurance didn't cover them

lucky cats :P

murgatroid99

@TheMattbat999 In most cases you probably can't liquify them while retaining the properties that make them gemstones.

The Mattbat999

22:42

@murgatroid99 oh. That sucks.

@Wrigglenite why does she look like she is about to do a sheep-themed Kami Hami Ha?

murgatroid99

And I think the materials themselves aren't that unusual or hard to synthesize

Ruby and Sapphire, for example, are both made primarily of Aluminum Oxide

Wrigglenite

@TheMattbat999 Does it look that way? It's just the new gimmick in Pokémon SnS

The Mattbat999

@Wrigglenite idk, that is the first thing that came to mind when i seen the picture.

Mad Scientist

hmm, Sovaldi is $2500 per gram, I can't think of any more expensive drug right now. There are probably some anti-cancer antibodies that are even more expensive than this.

user15026

@Wrigglenite I don't know why I love this so much but I do

Wrigglenite

22:54

@Ash Adorable + menacing = fantastic!

user15026

@dly I suspect cat needs much less than people do

The Mattbat999

Way less.

user15026

(I use 3U of a 10/100 syringe 2x day for my cat's Lantus injection)

dly

Of course.. with 1/20 of human's weight

user15026

(I think. I'm not home to look at them)

user15026

22:55

@Wrigglenite Very yes.

Yuuki

23:12

@TheMattbat999 wow learn your material, that's the spirit bomb stance

@Ash It's the toppled-over Wooloo that does it.

@TheMattbat999 Yes but what makes gemstones gemstones is the crystalline structure.

One thing you learn in mineralogy courses is that molecular structure just as important to mineral identification as chemical composition.

These two gemstones are chemically identical (andalusite and kyanite).

But structurally different.

GnomeSlice

That's dope

user15026

@Yuuki yesssss

user15026

@Yuuki yep, how they go together is just as important as what they are.

user15026

I have a rock hound friend who tells me stuff like that

Yuuki

In fact, if you have the right laboratory tools to induce pressure and temperature you can actually transform the first gemstone into the second one (of course you'd have to re-cut it) and back.

Andalusite and kyanite are also polymorphic with a third mineral called sillimanite, which can be a pale yellow color.

user15026

23:46

I....might be going to a friend's Viking funeral for her lizard after work tonight.

Yuuki

> Viking funeral
Cool!
> for her lizard
... :(

user15026

Hey, Hell Wyrm was important to my friend, she wants to see her off in a dignified manner.

Wrigglenite

Hell Wyrm is a great name

Yuuki

I fear I may have been misunderstood.

"Cool!" as in "Viking funerals are awesome!" and ":(" as in "pet died".

user15026

Ah, okay, I thought it was "It was cool til I heard it was about a lizard"

user15026

23:50

@Wrigglenite I thought so too. :)
