[open matrix]

but no

so you go to the next mountain

and the next after that

and then you find a city

only the city doesnt have the trim

so you keep going

it was, lets say, not all to fun

[iron totem]

You should make a warden farm...

[open matrix]

im not a farm maker tbh

also dont they just drop the shriekers?

[iron totem]

No

Sculk catalyst

The thing that spawn sculk when mobs die near it

Fun prank: Put a bunch of these under the ground on the surface

Every time mobs die they will spawn sculk

Be sure people are okay with it, though

[open matrix]

well, im not okay with that

not happening

[iron totem]

You can have a bunch of wardens

And let them free on the world >:3

[open matrix]

i... rather not

i already have netherite armour and i still die in two hits

[iron totem]

:O

Stacked

[open matrix]

you know whats stacked

[iron totem]

Stacked raid farm?

[open matrix]

8 of these things, i thouhgt they were supposed to be rare?!?!?!

[iron totem]

They are

[open matrix]

doesnt feel like it

or this

i have not went on a minging trip where i was specicifally looking for dimands

they just keep popping up in front of me

[iron totem]

Build a diamond house

[open matrix]

i will put that on the list

tho not before i finish pebbs and moon

and that might... take a while

[iron totem]

I kinda wanna make a huge lavacast

And build a village in/on it

2B2T moment

[open matrix]

@trim tartan ...

[limpid ore]

"i did a little mining off camera" (silly)

[sonic remnant]

Looks to me like those are the ones with netherite trims, the trims should logically take up less space than the actual armor type would, right?

[open matrix]

trueee

i will just wait for celestium
they were the one that wanted that trim in the frist place, so they should know

[sonic remnant]

Also, maybe just checking in the smithing table could show you what it looks like without using it?

[open matrix]

...lmao, true

lemmi check real quick

[sonic remnant]

Aight lol

[open matrix]

i think we good

hmmmm.... now which one should i choose
cyan would fit with teh skin, but im not sure

[sonic remnant]

I like the red the most personally, looks like the blood of my enemies crusted onto my armor

[open matrix]

lmao

i really like yellow and blue, tho cyan is also pretty and it does fit the best

WAIT

BLUE

[sonic remnant]

What does your skin look like tho(in minecraft)

[open matrix]

my armour set is called rot

[sonic remnant]

?

[open matrix]

i have to make it blue!!!

[sonic remnant]

YES.

YESSS

[open matrix]

[sonic remnant]

[unkempt yew]

The rot really did consumes all

[open matrix]

look at pebbs go, all rotted up and stuff

now it will probably not take all that long until i fall into the void and lose all that stuff again

[unkempt yew]

[open matrix]

gotta start working on the back up

and then, back up for the back up

the grind never ends

[unkempt yew]

The grind never ends

-# welp, that reminds me of playing LoL again

[trim tartan]

I found my set. Top to bottom, tide, flow, silence, bolt.

[limpid ore]

my set is whatever i manage to find when i explore

[scenic escarp]

Looking at it again, I may have misinterpreted the trims

I like the first one best, which is apparently netherite with diamond trim?

[open matrix]

in the image with the 4 armours, yes

[open matrix]

here it is the 6th

[scenic escarp]

[trim tartan]

Silence pants are the best. Can’t be beat.

[unkempt yew]

What

[trim tartan]

Look! Silence pants.

[unkempt yew]

I'm still in the old ways of Minecraft

[spiral matrix]

Beta 1.7.3 my beloved

[unkempt yew]

1.4, I remembered thee when I built my own village filled with diamonds and a huge statue made in gold

[trim tartan]

He was in the fence.

He was in the fence, I swear he was.

[unkempt yew]

I tried to draw Forneus but I'm having a battle of myself

a battle which I lost

[trim tartan]

Wouldn’t say you lost.

[unkempt yew]

It should've been like this

[unkempt yew]

But is it okay? 👀

[trim tartan]

It’s good!

[unkempt yew]

Huh, thanks

[trim tartan]

We have to play Poker again sometime.

[unkempt yew]

Twas fun

I am now repaying 500 words

[lime ingot]

I agree

[trim tartan]

Until I realized I had a very poor strategy.

[lime ingot]

Just use a different strategy next time

[open matrix]

@night lily im to scared to touch anything, but the furnaces arent getting supplied with bamboo anymore

[night lily]

i thought it was enough to run for a long while

You see a lever far inside to the left from the entrance?

[open matrix]

that one?

also not sure if thats intended or not, but all these chests still have bamboo in them
i really dont get how this thing works tbf

[open matrix]

wait, or that one?

whoops
i think i will just put coal into the furnaces manually

[night lily]

Try switching that on

[night lily]

Huh... It should automatically refill...

[night lily]

Oh and that too

I didn't leave it running because i was afraid of overflow... maybe it should be on all the time now

[open matrix]

could that be the reason?

[wind bloom]

super smelter redstone

[night lily]

Oh... Uh, it shouldn't be there yeah. Try pushing it backward away from the piston

[wind bloom]

I have a much simpler smelter with Create

[night lily]

Create isn't compatible with 1.21.1 yet

[open matrix]

okay, so both of these cards get stuck right here

im guessing thats the issue?

[wind bloom]

If I weren't forced to I wouldn't even use anything past 1.12 tbh. Performance drops over the course of the updates has been sooooo tiring to deal with

they're only finally starting to touch on the latency issues lately

[night lily]

Cant argue with that, I don't like the new chunk system at all

[night lily]

Hmmmmm one should be at the bamboo to wait for refil

[wind bloom]

I cannot care about FPS when my server tick rate is plummetting!!! Mojang!!!!

[night lily]

both should either be moving or waiting at their stations, if they stop somewhere else then something probably went wrong

[wind bloom]

Think they got unloaded at some point while moving?

[open matrix]

i pushed that one back

[night lily]

That's the station yeah

[open matrix]

nvm, it moved while i was typing and now its stuck again?!?!?

[wind bloom]

whys the elevator unpowered

[unkempt yew]

I did it

[night lily]

I think... Probably they were moving when the server was restarted. So when it came back the momentum was set to 0

[unkempt yew]

I am now free from the bonds

[wind bloom]

Back to full League!!! Poggers!!!

now you can play Singed like a monster

[night lily]

Wait

[unkempt yew]

I am no longer playing I guess

[open matrix]

so how does one fix that

[wind bloom]

yeah see it stood out to me lmao

[unkempt yew]

I uninstalled Wild Rift

[wind bloom]

League Desktop time.

[night lily]

Well, now im not really sure what went wrong gotta see them myself

[unkempt yew]

If I have a pc

[open matrix]

also here, i make it that the card moves again, it does its loop just fine, only to get stuck here every time

[wind bloom]

simply rob your local recycling center (do not)

[unkempt yew]

/j

[night lily]

It doesn't bounce back?

[open matrix]

nope....

[night lily]

Wait, no that's intended, it's waiting for the piston to retract

The fuel is probably not at the 'sufficient' level yet

[open matrix]

oh

[night lily]

So, more bamboo

[open matrix]

but the bamboo elevator whatever thingy is not powered? so thats the main problem?

[night lily]

Yeah pls switch both bonemeal and bamboo on

[open matrix]

they are both on

[night lily]

And it probably will take a while for the bonemeal to catch up, so come back later

[open matrix]

also, if the bamboo card is in its station, all is powered, but if not, its not

[open matrix]

im there with live 20 shulkers of cobble just trying to get my stone for pebbs and moon

[wind bloom]

this is why we use silk touch with a beacon for instant mining stone

[fringe anchor]

How about organizing an event like this?

[unkempt yew]

Every bet is a word and we start with a thousand

Lost the bet, write a thousand words

[open matrix]

@night lily again, just so you know, but there are a few items, mainly those mini trees, seeds, and moss, that pretty often end up in the crafter thingy and halt the entire smelting process. anything one can do to stop that?

[night lily]

Huhh how did they get in?

Is the glass up there gone?

[night lily]

Uhhh, can you check if every hoppers in the chain leading to the crafter are covered by compost?

[open matrix]

can do that

i guess those three wouldnt be, right?

[night lily]

pls cover these with either composts or chest or furnace

[open matrix]

i would like to mention that i now belong to the staff and no longer enter this room illegally

done

back to afk ing i go
lets hope this time i dont come back realizing that almost nth changed because trash got stuck in the crafters

[fringe anchor]

Yeah but like, set a time, get more people to hop on

[unkempt yew]

[lime ingot]

I would absolutely play poker where every bet is a word

The gambling never stops

[edgy scroll]

Poker night with stories chat

[open matrix]

im in!

(tho i would need to get the rules explained... again. I always forget them )

[fringe anchor]

Me too

[fringe anchor]

I remember poker basics but can't remember all the different types of card combos

[open matrix]

i remember nth, ive played poker with my dad when i was like 12, and then from time to time with a few friends, never serious, the rules had to be explained to me every. single. time

[trim tartan]

I have to practice my betting skills.

[lime ingot]

The discord version of poker has everything handled for you

In terms of explaining rules

[open matrix]

theres a discord version of poker???

[edgy scroll]

There is. That’s what we played with last time.

[night lily]

I played Balatro, so expect me to hold onto that absurd hope to get like, royal flush

[open matrix]

so what will be bet? the ones with the biggest losses have to write the most words?

[lime ingot]

The more money you lose the more words you have to write

[edgy scroll]

Basically, for every dollar less that you walk away with as opposed to what you started with, that’s another word you’re expected to write.

[open matrix]

and if you make bank?

[edgy scroll]

Then you get the thrill of winning

[open matrix]

i get teh right to brag

tho all i get now is the right to clean the house, byeeeeee

[fringe anchor]

How about being able to burden losers with more words based on what you won /lh

[open matrix]

they choose who the words will go to xD

[fringe anchor]

"I survived stories poker 2024" /j

[trim tartan]

I’m in 2100 words of debt.

[edgy scroll]

That feels a bit much! 1000 words is a lot to take on, as is. The goal isn’t really to force people to write… just to give a little bit of fun stakes to the game

[lime ingot]

Me with 3000 word debt

[trim tartan]

Please, spare my addicted self.

[fringe anchor]

Or even split the won words between everybody /lh

But yeah i'd love to join if it were at a time good for me, probably the weekend

[open matrix]

please sundays
i have the risk of getting hit with work every otehr day of the week

[edgy scroll]

Sundays works for me

[lime ingot]

Sounds good for me too

[open matrix]

now the only real problem is time with all these different time zones, tho i REALLY have to actually leave now
wont take long if im quick about it

[fringe anchor]

Or we could try, hmm...

[edgy scroll]

Could just say ‘Sunday whenever people are around who want to play’

[fringe anchor]

I feel like 2-3 rounds at different timezones, everybody would play i imagine 2 rounds, so half stakes? (Or just whenever possible )

[lime ingot]

So the same time as now?

[edgy scroll]

2-3 rounds, going for however long the players wanna go, maybe with a few hours as the upper limit, (discord poker on casual mode has unlimited buybacks, so long as you’re willing to keep stacking up your word debt ), with a few hour break between each round so other people can have a chance to play depending on their timezone…
But this might all be too formal, tbh! If a couple people wanna play poker, they can always just ask around to see who else is interested!

But we’ll shoot for Sunday as the day we try and get as many people there at once, for a proper stories poker tournament

[open matrix]

hmmmm?

[edgy scroll]

This was the follow up

[open matrix]

ohhhh#

got it, yeah, i like that idea, i would be down for that

[fringe anchor]

Or just whenever we feel like, anything goes

[unkempt yew]

Man, we are goimg with poker (I'm a blackjack person myself)

[edgy scroll]

I don’t think there’s a blackjack game on discord

[open matrix]

i feel like poker letse go

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

I thought you had to clean your house?

[unkempt yew]

But sadly I cannot join for the meantime

[trim tartan]

Don’t end up with a 2100-word debt like me.

[open matrix]

i... can do that later

[unkempt yew]

[open matrix]

the day is still long

[unkempt yew]

Was that your loss?

[edgy scroll]

Alright, let’s play then

[open matrix]

im gonna end up with so much dept
finally, the motivation i need to contiune writing

[fringe anchor]

I have stuff to do today

[edgy scroll]

#297219247992733696 message

if we actually are going to play

(you don't have to VC, you can just be muted, but you do have to be in the VC to play)

[fringe anchor]

Oh, also, is the debt you get like, towards any writing, or do you have to write a special poker fic?

[fringe anchor]

-# debt /lh

[lime ingot]

My 3k word debt gave me a good excuse to write more of my modern au universe and also to make it a Halloween fic

[lime ingot]

I imagine any writing

[wind bloom]

I think I may be slightly addicted to trucking game

[fringe anchor]

ETS2 or ATS?

[wind bloom]

Snowrunner

Trucking......... but snow and mud on the tires

[fringe anchor]

Ah, i've played mudrunner but not snowrunner, does look cool tho

[wind bloom]

I binged spintires and mudrunner back in the day

[night lily]

I can't afford any more debt considering what I already owe my writing quota
-# semi /j

[wind bloom]

that's 2k for complaining

[lime ingot]

Just get debt and then do the writing quota and the debt at the same time smh

[fringe anchor]

Get enough debt to do an integer overflow

[night lily]

What would be the limit for the debt to overflow tho

[fringe anchor]

Depends on the bitcount

[unkempt yew]

Time for me to write 1200 words after that all in

-# And sleep also

Latah y'all

[fringe anchor]

Y'all are still gambling? /lh

[iron totem]

Yes

I don't know poker and I kept going all in

And somehow managed to get 7k $?

Left with 3k $ so can't complain

[night lily]

-# I was still working when the discussion started, and now I'm home after transit , dinner, and shower. And this is still ongoing

[fringe anchor]

I'd love to join but I feel I would not have much time

[scenic escarp]

Y'all are GAMBLING NOW??? /j

(Ngl if I knew more about cards, I'd join )

[spiral matrix]

Oooo poker

What kind of poker we talking about here

[plucky zenith]

Apparently we’re betting story words

I still owe an HFISH spinoff to Banan

[spiral matrix]

No no I mean

What kind of game

NLHE? 5 card draw? PLO?

[edgy scroll]

texas hold-em

game's over for today, but the plan is to have more people play on sunday

[limpid ore]

maybe ill join and google how to play poker beforehand

[fringe anchor]

Oh this i know I think

[spiral matrix]

Oh on Sunday :c

Damn

Idk maybe I could do it

[limpid ore]

we should also play gartic phone

[scenic escarp]

What is gartic phone

[limpid ore]

write prompt, then you get someones prompt to draw, then you say what it is, then THAT descriptio becomes someone's prompt

a game of telephone but for art

[scenic escarp]

Intriguing

[limpid ore]

and you dont buy it. you play it right in ur browser.

FREE FUN GAME

in 2 days discord takes my nitro payment

this means in 2 days i can buy a candy bar

[fringe anchor]

there are also other modes like continuing somebody's writing

[limpid ore]

basic description because i havent played the silly modes

[lime ingot]

Hey guys heres a funny thing

Russia blocked discord literally 4 hours ago

And I immediately bypassed it in 10 minutes

[fringe anchor]

stay safe out there tho

[iron totem]

I agree, it's really fun!

No drawing tablet, that's cheating /hj

mouse

[lime ingot]

Can you play Gartic phone on a phone?

[limpid ore]

yes, but bc the screen is smaller, you have to zoom and scroll to get all the canvas

[lime ingot]

I have a decently sized tablet I'll be fine

[limpid ore]

[lime ingot]

just need to practice some digital arting using my finger

[unkempt yew]

Playin gartic phone?

But sadly I only have mobile and I have no skill in digital art

[limpid ore]

thats the best part of gartic phone

[unkempt yew]

it is?

[limpid ore]

everyone is crazy silly

the point is to see how deranged the final result is

[unkempt yew]

but then again, I must learn the ways of using my fingers to draw in phone, lemme try that now

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

My fingers can't do crap and yet managed to do this

-# cannot draw the fluff of the fleece

[limpid ore]

the magical art of practicing

[unkempt yew]

👀

[limpid ore]

what i do is draw on paper actually and then line it in the drawing app

like many other orters

[unkempt yew]

I mean, true, true
My sis tell me that all time as she still draws

[unkempt yew]

👀

I can do that?

[unkempt yew]

Lemme try that

How do I put pic?

[unkempt yew]

Nvm, I found a way

[trim tartan]

“We found a way.”

[unkempt yew]

Now lemme try to draw digital art, Leshy

[unkempt yew]

Welp, time to wait for the divorce arc

[unkempt yew]

Now with colours
-# do you guys struggle with gaps?

-# also, waiting for that divorce arc to happen, I'm gonna wait for that

And this is the comparison

[edgy scroll]

with color

[unkempt yew]

I just realized

I can use this system to make a clearer and a digital version of my OCs

I thank thee @limpid ore

[unkempt yew]

I still have lot to learn

Woe, Bandit be upon ye 🫴

[lime ingot]

We both gonna be doing lots of digital arting today

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

I have no class for three days straight...

I am afraid

[lime ingot]

I have no homework for today

Me happy

[unkempt yew]

Welp, time to pursue art again

[trim tartan]

Anyone up for a bit of poker soon?

Not a lot, just a bit, I'll be available in about an hour.

[edgy scroll]

maybe, maybe

[trim tartan]

I'll be eagerly waiting for that.

[lime ingot]

Gambling addiction

Cy single-handedly gave the stories chat a gambling addiction

[trim tartan]

I'd say so, yes, but I started the discussion.

Actually, I shouldn't take credit for this.

[unkempt yew]

Are we gambling? 👀

Also, I do not gamble, I simply roll for gacha

[open matrix]

i heared gambling?

poker time?

its not like i can lose more then i already did

[trim tartan]

Won't be very long this time.

[open matrix]

no for 4 houre poker session /j

[trim tartan]

I can't.

Physically cannot.

[open matrix]

Never type in gambling through phone, biggest mistake in my life

[iron totem]

Just dropping this here

https://tiermaker.com/create/rain-world-all-pearls-2024-1092366

I'd like to hear your thoughts

[fringe anchor]

I think i'd move mass rarefaction and schematics higher up for being quite interesting and going a bit more in-depth on how iterators work

And beverages should be S tier cause of the fact it's not blank in saint /j

[unkempt yew]

Must learn art and pay back debt

I must be good at ort

And paying debt of course

[night lily]

That last one :SLAGONY:

A cold, peaceful desert night

Indeed looking out through that makes a calm yet jolly atmosphere

[unkempt yew]

Man, why's he so chill lookin

[limpid ore]

hey guys wanna see some neat art

[lime ingot]

Yea

[iron totem]

I really dislike that pearl because:

1. It makes SRS look like an idiot and I think pebbles reaction to it was a little cringe
2. The rewritten moon dialogue doesn't tell us anything we already didn't know

And it makes the whole spearmaster campaign pointless

[limpid ore]

inspiration from this

[night lily]

||that pebbles pretended to not know? ||

||Also I thought you meant the freshly written one from Moon, not the archived broadcast one||

[iron totem]

Actually, what is your favorite pearl?

Mine is the UW pearl

It tells us so much:

1.The benefactor's population is ever shrinking, showing it's a gradual process.
2.The iterators are a gift from the benefactors to the world, which includes rocks, gas and microbes. "Gift of Charity from Us to The World (unable to reach Enlightenment by itself - being composed mostly of Rock, Gas, dull witted Bugs and Microbes - and towards which We thus have Obligations)."
3. They have parental obligations towards the iterators, the iterators view them as parents but also as skin parasites as moon puts it.
4. They think highly of FP but there are groups that don't like him.
5. Moonie sass

[night lily]

Oh that's a good one yeah

I like the biography(?) one from Shaded

It's the only source to glimpse into how the benefactors lived

[unkempt yew]

Evening stories, as a true wroter, I am paying my debts (200 words paid, 2800 left)

Dude, why did you all in

[iron totem]

Funny

[unkempt yew]

I cannot see since I was typing

I will, gotta finish Gris first, though

[open matrix]

dont do the shipment of beverage pearl like that
its great

isnt it just a glorified receipt— /j /lh

[open matrix]

maybeeeee

but it gets cool in saint!!!

[night lily]

Ancient's financial documents truly were made to be indestructible

[unkempt yew]

I must learn more

I am a true dissenter of the wroting cult

[trim tartan]

Sliver of Straw. "In my essay I make the case that maybe she should be allowed to rest in peace now."

Not because of anything else.

That line.

Moon's letting her past rest.

She's watching new cycles unfold, and she knows she doesn't need to be part of them.

An Iterator learns to accept, move on, and let go.

Isn't that beautiful?

It also gave us knowledge of Sliver, of the Iterators, why they were driven to madness.

I'm pretty sure it was also intended as the first pearl to be read, considering that it's closest to Moon.

[open matrix]

i hate that guy

i neer can 100% the game because im ||not killing ratau ||

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

||I can ||

||But after days of hating it, restarting again to never go to him ||

[open matrix]

||lmao, i agreed the first time cause i thought it wouldnt really happen...
never restarted a game that fast before||

[trim tartan]

"I know you'll come back to me. I just do."

||Ratau was a fool. A god's right hand, he was, and yet he denied himself that power.||

||There is no room amongst crown-bearers to doubt, or it will eat you alive. He was a fool to the very end.||

[unkempt yew]

I'm intrigued to make another CotL fic

But I have to finish Chasing Birds 7

[trim tartan]

You have to understand.

||Ratau had a job to do.||

||He couldn't, and thus was stripped of his power.||

||In the end, it was mercy enough that Nari didn't simply kill him.||

||But, newborn god, you are not as merciful.||

||"A Lion in the guise of a Lamb."||

||Was it not so that Shamura called you?||

[open matrix]

||but why do i have to kill him for 100%????
I canttttt ||

[trim tartan]

||Oh, you can.||

||Sentiment's just getting to you.||

||Perhaps you were one who obtained the "I thought my brother had better... taste." line?||

[unkempt yew]

||Do it ||

[trim tartan]

||Ratau was selfish. He told you that it was your cult when it had nobody. As it began to grow, he told you it was "our cult".||

||There's nothing wrong with paying back what wrongs one had done to you.||

||Besides, you're a deity.||

||Who can question Death?||

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

||Ratau? He backed down from it after seeing what he had to do!||

||To that, I say, weak.||

||Do not make the same mistake as he did.||

||Offer him the end he deserves, Karessra.||

||Give his death meaning.||

||I know you can do it. I know you someday will.||

[unkempt yew]

||This take peer pressure up to a level ||

[open matrix]

||NEVER ||

[trim tartan]

||There is no point in fearing the inevitable, after all.||

[open matrix]

||he calls me his child on a letter after i kill him, i cant do that||

||Face it. You have but one option.||

||To make it better, think of Ratau that doesn't exist ||

[open matrix]

[trim tartan]

||You can.||

||Besides, he never planned to send you that letter.||

[open matrix]

||but he still wrote it||

||cant kill my platonic father figure||

||You've done worse.||

||Remember the Scavenger King?||

||What did he have to do with your children?||

[open matrix]

||well yeahhhh, but that is different ||

On an unrelated note, I love not knowing what to do with Unraveling.

The start is being a bitch, and won't let me write it.

Aside from that, Wild West story is having some hiccups, too, and brainstorming for the Pebbs Isekai might need some help.

I really want to name his stand La Campanella, because it means little bell and is funny, but it doesn't really fit what main characters usually have as their stands.

It's a more passive style of fighting, and I think it might not work the best.

I mean, I can make it that it has a humanoid body?

I have an idea.

I shouldn't be here, but the muse gave me an idea.

[trim tartan]

Idea presented.

[limber latch]

someone in genderal talking about something writing related I think

[fringe anchor]

Me when my discord is so old it does not support forwarding

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

i have a question for storyers

how often do you word nerds look things up for worldbuilding? like you go on government and educational websites for information and then write a whole ass doc for worldbuilding reference?

[scenic escarp]

Always and forever Only difference is I copy paste snippets I like into a private discord channel

Along with fitting memes

The lore deets no one will ever see

[limpid ore]

im sitting here writing a google doc about an entire made up underwater nation and im googling detailed information on climates and weather patterns and had the thought of "hmm am i weird?"

[scenic escarp]

Wroter moment

[limpid ore]

the same effort as when i researched leeches and substyglofauna for woaf

something i would NEVER research unless it was for a hyper specific thing

[limpid ore]

had to invent underwater rain equivalent and i be struggling

[limpid ore]

im also following a really helpful checklist thats helping me think of things id never think of too hard

Come over here.

Nothing bad will come to you while you are under my protection.

You are too wise.

Well, @unkempt yew - come here. I need to quarter you. /j

[fringe anchor]

[trim tartan]

Ah, a Stapler.

Big catch today.

[trim tartan]

You will be mine. And not in a romantic way.

I will now apply the British technique of stabbing your opponent.

I will now apply it again.

Now, I will apply a different technique called hacking away at your opponent.

Slice.

Stab.

And now, I will continue applying it until the Piotr is diced up well.

[trim tartan]

Behind all that power, it appears that you are still unable to face me.

Very well. I shall consume the writing juice raw from your flesh.

Slurp.

I feel power. Power, raw and unyielding.

Dear me. Is this what a Stapler's muse feels like?

[trim tartan]

Epochs, o great wise one.

I have saved some Stapler blood.

[unkempt yew]

I have arrived

[trim tartan]

You are spared, for I have consumed the muse of a Stapler.

[unkempt yew]

Ah, I see

[trim tartan]

It appears that Epochs is too shy to taste it.

Would you like to?

[unkempt yew]

I am curious for the sustenance

[trim tartan]

Consume it, then.

[unkempt yew]

🫴

[trim tartan]

There. Feel it.

[unkempt yew]

So what's the sustenance I am receiving?

There's no such thing as honor in battle, my great Stapler

Only nobles and highborn will think of it that way /silly

[trim tartan]

And neither noble nor royal I am.

[unkempt yew]

Anyway, what we talkin bout 'gain?

[trim tartan]

As you wouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight, you wouldn't consider a street fight a haughty duel.

You do not understand how much power I hold.

[unkempt yew]

[fringe anchor]

wait isn't that value some chemical constant?

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

Avogadro's constant, I believe?

Just watch it.

[iron totem]

I agree!

Super cool

[trim tartan]

Actually, no I don't really think it is.

Avogadro's constant is 6.022 * 10^23, not negative 23.

[unkempt yew]

I don't know what that means

Or any of it

[trim tartan]

It's the number of atoms in a mole of a substance.

A mole is a kilogram of hydrogen.

[iron totem]

no

[trim tartan]

Wait, really?

[iron totem]

It is the number of particles in one mol

Not atoms

[trim tartan]

Right, yes.

I fucked up a bit there.

Number of particles.

[unkempt yew]

Dang, I have never learned science

[trim tartan]

A mole of Carbon-12 would be 12 kilograms.

[unkempt yew]

I forgot science in favour of the ways of the past

[trim tartan]

This was, by the way, how it was originally measured, if I remember correctly.

[fringe anchor]

uh so 1 mole of some particle is basically x kg where the x is its atomic mass, right?

i think

[trim tartan]

Haven't used it in a while.

[trim tartan]

Its molecular mass.

A grain of sand is one molecule, remember that.

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

Actually, is it?

I don't know, it might be.

[fringe anchor]

i'm running on polish terms and trying to convert them

[iron totem]

No, mol is a unit of how many particles you have, not mass.

[unkempt yew]

Now I have become that one student who doesn't know any of the lesson

[fringe anchor]

yeah but it would translate to this many kg, no?

[trim tartan]

"One mole of a particle is X kilograms where X is its molecular mass."

This is correct.

[iron totem]

Avogadro's constant is how many particles there is in one mol, which is 6.022 * 10^23

[trim tartan]

But, a mole is not defined as such.

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

Oh I see, thank you for correcting

[trim tartan]

Basically, if I have a mole of hydrogen, I'd have two kilos.

[unkempt yew]

I do not favour science

The ways of the old were the better days

[trim tartan]

A molecule of hydrogen gas is 2 AMUs, I think?

[unkempt yew]

Let it be the spirit guide us in our path

[trim tartan]

Because H2.

[fringe anchor]

yeah makes sense i think

[trim tartan]

But let Science be what you base knowledge on.

[iron totem]

Hydrogen has a molar mass of 2.01568 g/mol

[unkempt yew]

[night lily]

Tbh i never remember the name Avogadro, I've always called it 'Mole number'

[trim tartan]

Raven.

[iron totem]

so 1 mol of hydrogen is 2.01568g

[night lily]

-# sorry sir Avogadro

[trim tartan]

Is it grams, actually?

Hold on.

[iron totem]

Yup

[trim tartan]

Yes, it's grams, I fucked up.

[fringe anchor]

avocado

[night lily]

Huh

[iron totem]

Remeber hydrogen is super light

[trim tartan]

I've not used it in a long while.

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

Still, not-so-fun fact.

[fringe anchor]

i'm sure we can apply that somewhere, like, oh, zeppelins! that can't go wrong! /j

[iron totem]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_function

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

Check this out

The morbius function

[unkempt yew]

The what

[night lily]

Oh wait nvm, gram is correct

[fringe anchor]

function for getting prime numbers?

[trim tartan]

If sand is incredibly pure and large enough to be considered sand, one mole of it would probably drown a city.

[night lily]

Somehow i remembered SI unit of mass as kilogram not gram

[unkempt yew]

I will pay my 200 word debt

You guys can do science or anything I couldn't understand

[trim tartan]

Maybe not just a city.

[unkempt yew]

Let the spirits and the high heavens guide my path

[trim tartan]

I remember reading this somewhere, though.

[fringe anchor]

isn't the SI unit kilograms tho? i think it's kg in physhics and g in chemistry?

[trim tartan]

Actually, it might be?

I don't know anymore.

[night lily]

[trim tartan]

But Avogadro's constant is for grams, not kilos.

[fringe anchor]

certain that's the case

[trim tartan]

SI is a bit confusing, but Imperial is worse.

So much worse.

"Human measurement" is relative and vague.

[night lily]

Even within the same system they still manage to make units confusing

[fringe anchor]

measurements in canada

[night lily]

We should use Planck scale instead! /j

[trim tartan]

I get it. Big number good.

But don't.

Also, Piotr, I shot at you with a fucking black hole, you should be dead.

[iron totem]

It's an arithmetic function (meaning it only takes natural numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) multiplicative function (μ(nm) = μ(n) * μ(m) n and m are any natural numbers) that is quite useful in number theory
It is defined such that
μ(n) = 1 if n = 1
μ(n) = (-1) ^k where k is the number of distinct prime numbers.
μ(n) = 0 if a square > 1 divides it.

For instance μ(8) = 0 since 4 = 2^2 divides 8.
μ(6) = (-1)^2 = 1 since 6 = 3 * 2.

[fringe anchor]

i use the power of nuh uh /lh

[night lily]

World of pure math is scary...

[iron totem]

Math for the sake of math is really fun

And could get a use in the future but who cares if it is cool

[trim tartan]

And may be practical someday.

May.

There are some times where it did happen, but yes.

[iron totem]

I mean, does it matter if it is practical?

You do science to satisfy your curiosity, to know more.

[night lily]

True, true. Science is the subject of 'how to study' anyway.
See Newton, he probably didn't think Calculus would have use as rocket projectory planning way, way later

thats the best part about it

tbh, he was supposed to count up to 3000, but the numbers to word converter that i definelty did not use bugged out so i ended up with that abamonation

Wait how much debt did you have?

[open matrix]

3000

[fringe anchor]

That's a bit overkill

[open matrix]

the number generator that i didnt use for that chatper broke so i ended up with a little bit too much

[fringe anchor]

Wait oh i thought you meant "it will change constantly", I did not consider the fact it could be a typo /lh

what typo? this is a masterpiece
it surely wouldnt have a typo

It's because of that one music I have been listening

you could share it here if you like! I don't understand tagalog, but there's some famous saying about music being the universal language or some such

[edgy scroll]

This is actually pretty 🔥, and I'm not just saying that to be polite. It's got that kinda heartfelt tinge to it that a lot of rap that I like from 90's has, so I could easily see jamming to this in the middle of a long shift at work.

[unkempt yew]

It is from the 90s

[edgy scroll]

Best time for this kind of music, if you ask me (this makes me sound like a grumpy old man, I know.)

[unkempt yew]

Indeed indeed (shared the liking of old music)

But should I explain what's the story all about?

[edgy scroll]

That's up to you! I've gotten some of the picture from the comments on the video. Love, crime, injustice and circumstance... I don't know exactly what it's about, but you can tell what kind of story it is from music alone, you know?

Mayhaps (but I have an exam today)

[simple mango]

oh

[unkempt yew]

[simple mango]

i have monday off for thanksgiving

since i live in canada

[unkempt yew]

Does that mean you guys got turkey? 👀

[simple mango]

well

earlier today yes

my family did have turkey

but for tomorrow idk what'll be chosen

[unkempt yew]

I haven't eaten turkey, do they taste like chimken?

[edgy scroll]

wait, Canada also celebrates thanksgiving... but on a different date?

[simple mango]

yeah

oct 14

[edgy scroll]

like chicken but with a stronger flavor and more dark meat

[simple mango]

or the second monday of october

idk which one

lemme check

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

that's interesting. I wonder why the dates are different.

[unkempt yew]

Good thing I'm in the future

[simple mango]

yeah, the second monday of october is thanksgiving here

[unkempt yew]

If you guys celebrating December 31st, I will be sleeping in January 1st

[knotty sierra]

Maybe it's just my folks' cooking, but I wouldn't describe turkey as having a strong flavor
-# Unless it's smothered in gravy, that is

[edgy scroll]

I get what you mean... maybe 'strong flavor' isn't quite the right way to describe it. I dunno, I don't like turkey very much.

[unkempt yew]

dang, I wish I could try that

[edgy scroll]

I think chicken is much better.

[unkempt yew]

I am a gourmand

[simple mango]

agreed

[unkempt yew]

I want to try and taste any food I don't familiar with

I remembered the first time I tasted lamb, it was delicious, very different than pork or cow or goat

[edgy scroll]

I do like lamb

[simple mango]

i've never tried lamb actually

[edgy scroll]

if you get a chance to try a good gyro, I strongly recommend it

[knotty sierra]

Turkey is what you put in it. Honestly? It's kind've a good test for cooking/seasoning ability.
I can only speak for Thanksgiving dinners in Virginian Black Families, but we generally had turkey with gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberries, and green beans.
If you can get it where you are, I recommend trying it.

+1 to lamb. I've had it from a halal place, and I've loved it ever since.

[edgy scroll]

see, I love everything about that dinner except the turkey (and the sweet potatoes, but I'm fairly neutral on them)... and I understand the dinner works because it's got turkey instead of chicken, but it's not what I would pick for, say, making a sandwich over chicken

you are right that it's a good test on cooking and seasoning

it relys on those way more than say, beef

[limpid ore]

i have a home rotisserie so ill be making turkey in it

[unkempt yew]

Is cranberry like sour?

[edgy scroll]

it is! though usually it's made into a sweet jam on thanksgiving

[unkempt yew]

Huh, never had one

Maybe it can be deceiving like strawberries

cranberries are always sour
