came here to ask about the "on strike" on people's names, got my answers from the starred posts

wow is this chat always this dead these days?

lots of fun. Not sure if the game will still let you do that. It's been a few years since I've played it and they've added a lot since then.

@AncientSwordRage There's a PC sandbox game called Space Engineers that features artificial gravity devices intended for use in spaceships or bases. I realized at one point that you could move objects through free space with them, so I strung a bunch of them together and adjusted their activation times such that I had effectively created a railgun. I then promptly used it to launch warheads at my friends' stuff :P

wow 218.5 jeez

that 213.5 tho 👀

gotcha

@ThomasMarkov what do the red marks mean?

would you categorize that as rude/inappropriate or low-quality?

ok

was Twinned Spell updated at that time, too?

I will add that detail

should I leave this up then or delete my A?

hmm true. I was getting ready to post a meta Q about what to do but I will delete now

@ThomasMarkov so we're opting to leave the questions up even though they're asked on a now erroneous assumption?

indeed, hello! It's been a while

I've noticed there are several questions regarding twinned spell and booming blade that still operate on the assumption that you can twin that spell (because you used to be able to) but aren't necessarily asking whether you actually can. The rules have changed and now this is no longer possible. Should all of these questions be given the same answer or do we need to create a "can you do this -> No" Q/A so we can close and point them to that one?

Has it just been slow here the past several days or is this the new normal?

@AncientSwordRage no, though some might argue they're practically identical

lol I did turn 30 a couple months ago

It's been 85 years....

@AncientSwordRage hooray!

@NautArch ah yeah that's... problematic :P

yeah there are a lot of power struggles in that dungeon. factions be angling for superiority

what situation did they get themselves into and do they get a reset of any kind?

the slow-burn TPK

I'm in a mood today. If you'd rather delete that, please do.

fair enough. I hope your presentations go well

we can be intolerant without preaching violence. We have enough violence in this world, we don't need more

By preaching violence against others you sacrifice your right to peace

@AncientSwordRage I'm aware of that argument

"peace for me but not for thee"

@AncientSwordRage I suppose but it feels like a "have their cake and eat it, too" kind of thing

@AncientSwordRage "You will not use my words in this game to justify harming others" "you agree to punch fascists" Not that I'm a fan of fascists but the sentiments here don't align

a lot of those comments can be cleaned up now

most of the Q body serves as fluff at this point

fixed

title and body name the item differently. what is the actual name of the item again?

but then how will they min-max their MAD lad? :P

@NautArch saw your comment, nice add

"these give you big strong punchy hands" "cool, what will wizards come up with next"

@MikeQ I contend that there isn't really any lore to begin with on items like this

"when you were designing X version of the game, when/why did you add items with bonuses?" still seems like designer intent

but even then, the part of the Q asking about the origin of a given item with a bonus on it seems like a long shot to answer. I feel like we're still asking about designer intent

whereas artifacts can have provenance

AFAIK, non-artifact magic items are assumed to be made by powerful enchanters

I'm not really sure what is meant by "do they have their origin in D&D lore?" like, "these gloves give you the strength of a giant" is about the extent of the definition I can think of, there

question still seems vague

sounds like Glibness might be the way to go

I'm fairly certain "[can't] understand language, or communicate in any intelligible way" is meant to be universally exclusive of all communication, including telepathy
