What the hell were they trying to do with that

Science things, I imagine
dusk quartz
I mean, chill, seems pretty reasonable
teal iron
anyway it is true that gold exists because lighter atoms are spontaneously fused together in massive celestial events like supernovae
dusk quartz
Actually genuinely interesting, chillruru
teal iron
so it makes SOME sense that trying to simulate the creation of the universe as we know it might cause light atoms to be spontaneously fused
Though how in the world we could generate and especially contain that kind of energy, and why we would leave lead in the crosshairs, is beyond me
oh wait lead is a heavier atom than gold, i thought it was the other way around
So it was spontaneous fission
speculating off the top of my head, but probably neutron radiation, a neutron lodged itself in lead atoms, causing them to become unstable isotopes, which decayed, with one of the daughter atoms being gold
It's a problem they're trying to solve in nuclear fusion, is preventing exact that from happening to the reactor casing and stuff as neutrons are ejected from the plasma
since they're...well, neutral, they don't care as much about electromagnetic fields or atomic charges as electrons and protons
They can fly out and lodge themselves in something like steel structure, and cause the iron atoms to turn into unstable iron isotopes that decay, potentially making the structure itself radioactive and severely weakening it or altering its chemical properties adversely
dusk quartz
https://fixvx.com/pubity/status/2015198136281555247
So you're telling me, chill, that what they're doing here is literally incidental fission
peak folio
There’s no linked article, no details
teal iron
More likely neutron radiation, lead is generally stable
zinc depot
Technically possible since all matter and energy in our universe has a singular source
And is very odd at the atomic level
Everything is em fields and repelling forces, no actual material
It's all very odd
teal iron
No isotope of lead decays directly into gold, but maybe there's a chain of decays
unlikely, as that would imply an atom would drop like, a couple particles, and then remain unstable in order to break again
teal iron
Ok, so a bit more examination of the table and the daughter list
zinc depot
Even more strange is it is all a different configuration of electromagnetic fields and electrons etc
teal iron
Lead is destabilized by a stray neutron, breaks into Thallium, which can probably under similar conditions decay again, and again, until what's left is gold
or rather, even the gold would likely start decaying too, but there was still a lot of gold when they examined the aftermath of their experiment
Any atom can be made to break apart, and aside from a high-energy neutron blowing it to pieces, it can also be made unstable by a neutron sticking to it
That's why neutron radiation is dangerous
It doesn't rip apart DNA or cell tissue like gamma rays, but it makes other, innocent atoms become unstable and start breaking apart, releasing those gamma rays and alpha/beta particles

teal iron
That was my impresion, don't know anything about who made it

The company name has no record or history online, which is par for the course with new big mobile games. They always make new subcompanies.

Given how the game looks, it probably had a really big production budget
which tells me they plan to make a LOT of money from the game, and if it's free to play...well...
Since I was already unlikely to play the game, how they monetize it is of little concern
ALthough in the timeline where Prima wants to play aniimo, it is also the timeline where I throw a table because of how insufferable the microtransactions are
this is why I don't play mobile games unless they're literally just a port of a flash game

Think about it in the terms of the, "you attract more flies with honey rather than vinegar" analogy.
You gain a better reputation and attract more players to your various games if you aren't telling the players to only focus on your stuff. Yes, they want you to check out all of their games, but play what you enjoy.
A great majority leave if a developer tells you to only focus on their content, or insults other games.
Besides, telling your player base to check something else out most likely removes a lot of the stress that comes from updating. Player pressure mounds, but if they are occupied elsewhere, they are super excited to come back for an update rather than being angry it is taking so long.

No idea tbh. I use Cook's pest control and to my knowledge they have their own blend.
Once it is dry, it is safe around pets, of course, as long as they aren't just licking the area like there is no tomorrow xD
You could try Diatomaceous Earth.
bitter agate
Oh ok cool. Yeah I use a combo of diatomaceous and neem powder for the ground. But spray the siding and eves with something that is safe once dry... Forgetting what it's called for the moment...
night plume
I do know where the pest guy sprays I don't see spiders making webs, wasps making nests, insects laying eggs. So, it does work as a deterant.
I see no issues with the butterflies, ladybugs, or bees in the area.
I do have wasps around, but they don't nest where the spray is, same with spiders.
I honestly have the pest control for tree roaches. Too many pine trees around. No matter how clean you are, one storm and they race inside x.x
bitter agate
Eww gross... Thankfully we don't have roach problems up here here unless you live near tweakers
night plume
Tree roaches are much better than the ones you are referring to x.x
Anytime I see those, I tear the house apart cleaning.
Most burn their house down bc of spiders, I am borderline to that with roaches >.>
bitter agate
Lol! I need to get eyes on that big brown reclusey looking spider I saw the other day... Kinda put it out of my mind until just now...
night plume
Hopefully just looking o.O
Did it run from you? If so, it is most likely a house spider.
In my experience, recluses run at you. Aggressive Badwords >.>
bitter agate
It was just chilling up by my attic access... Looks like it moved some place else... So that'll be fueling my nightmares for a bit
night plume
But those nasty grass spiders also run at you 🤔
Them and recluses are the obly spiders I kill. I put all others outside
Had a grass spider jump on me when I got home. I made it all the way to my kitchen, put my stuff down, and the dang thing jumped off my bag at me
I whacked that thing into a wall >.>
bitter agate
I have a rule for spiders: if they make a web and aren't the roaming/hunting kinds I just leave them alone... But if they're transient/hobo they gotta go
night plume
My rule is:
Smaller than my pinky - can stay
Larger - outside
Black widow - outside
Brown recluse or grass spider(I don't remember name, is why I call it grass spider) - die, die, just f'n die!
House spider - call it an idiot and trick it into a container so I can out its bumbling self outside.
I like yellow spitting spiders. Those know how to stay out of the way and they kill smaller insects
bitter agate
Lol, thankfully we don't really have black widows here just hobos and/brown recluse
And/or* can't remember if they are different than each other

They're not dead, though. They're still alive for a while, but once a flowers gets separated from the rest of the plant, it gets cut off from a primary source of nutrition and they start dying once it runs out.
bitter agate
If they don't have roots they're basically dead...
Once you cut a flower from the plant it is basically in shock. It'll halt the growth processes to try and get back to making roots and get back to a vegetative state. So technically not dead but good luck getting it to grow back into the plant without the best source of the nutrients it needs, in a pH that it can use. People often make the mistake of using tap water to water their house plants... Don't. Let the water sit out to dechlorinate before feeling it to your plants. You're better off giving it water from a pond or stream or even a mud puddle before tap water.

Water companies now use chloramine instead of chlorine. The switch was bc the chlorine doesn't last as long in the water leaving the potential of being unsafe.
Chloramine takes weeks, even months to evaporate out
bitter agate
Simple search says Germany does chlorinate their tap, but it is limited compared to other countries
I'm not an expert or anything but I know a ton about plants and what makes them happy
night plume
Teach me how to understand what my plants are saying xD
bitter agate
The way they look tells you a lot about what they need. Biggest mistake most make is over correction of the issue. Like if a plant is showing signs of needing more nitrogen and you force feed it some, you have to remember that it takes time to heal. Nothing other than under watering is cured overnight
solid sun
I mean according to waht I've found now, is that america seems to be the most random country when it comes to where what method of cleanign is used, and that countries in europe have much stricter regulations and other ways of treating water.

Fungus gnats are the worst and they will not leave
1 adult lays 50 eggs at a time in soil
once they are in houseplant soil you'll get an invasion of hundreds per day

Diatomaceous earth works well. But so does 15-30% hydrogen peroxide
zinc depot
The compost bin will resupply them
I tried everything, once I got rid of the compost bin they left

Wear appropriate gloves with the strong hydrogen peroxide! It'll eat through cheap gloves

Had 100's of them crawling on the windows to the garden daily
If you compost, have an allotment or just don't have house plants

We only have house succulents for now lol

glad needle
Sounds like the competition is mad
Steam has never tried to have a monopoly in the first place. All the competition keeps being anti-consumer
The best competitor that Steam has rn is GOG, because GOG doesn’t allow any games with DRM on them, aka, you own what you buy on GOG
But, the downside to this is, these giant corpos use the DRM to protect their investment and milk more profit, so they refuse to allow their games on GOG, so new games just, aren’t on GOG
solid sun
I mean technically yes GoG doesn't have drm, but it still has limits too.
glad needle
Like what?
solid sun
you can only have access to the ability to download what you paid for, for as long as GoG has the ability to offer the download to you.

highguard feels like a NMS situation; grossly overpromised and overhyped, when in reality it was a rather basic game. in its current state it feels very early access. There's certainly room to fix it but it comes down to whether they bother.

people not understanding the basic gameplay loop =p
its a tug of ware phases system, but people are playing it like a battle royale
build phase > gear phase > flag phase > raid phase > base phase
the idea is you push through the phases to win. the issue is people are gearing up and complainig the map is too empty/boring or getting lost instead of doing what the phase actually needs them to do
theres is absolutely a factor of people going in to hate it and not even trying to play it right
peak folio

Palworld went into early access two years ago, so you figure that generally speaking a high quality brand new monster tamer IP, as a response, would still be 1 to 3 years away from release.

it's possible to make good games in shorter time frames
especially if you already had one sort of going and then rushed to have it done faster because you saw the free money printers over the horizon
Or it's coincidence, but that's not as funny
silver pewter
It is possible to make a good game in 3 Years still. But I feel like with the monster tamer genre, people loving the monster/creature designs, is just as important as the gameplay. Case in point: the way people reacted to Digimon Time Stranger - it already had that whole beloved creatures cachet going for it.

A lot of time goes into the production of the visual parts of the game, palworlds world is built up of mostly stock unreal store assets you can just licence for use, which is already a huge boost in time frame if you can assemble the world with it

I really just want the original 4 Dot Hack games to be re-released on Steam.
you mean this? or other games.

maiden narwhal
The original 4. Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarantine.
solid sun
were they ever on steam?
maiden narwhal
I don’t think they were released outside of ps2 at all
solid sun
yeah the use of re-release was odd to me.
the best chances are to eventually see them on GoG via that voting system
maiden narwhal
Also GU’s gameplay loop got old, real quick. Dungeon, tournament, dungeon, tournament. Easy as heck too

haven't played it yet, sitting in my library for a decade now lol

There were four oter games before GU.

No. They weren't ever released outside of PS2. And they're extremely hard to find and expensive if you do find them.
But Sword Art Online gets a new series every year and 50 freaking games, despite it being a much lower quality than Dot Hack.

I didn't know that i thought someone corrupted the game
Oh, no. It's a part of the game. Basically, there's a virus in the game that's corrupting it. If a player dies in the game, they go into a coma. Part of what Kite does is he hacks the restricted areas and goes into them. These restricted areas were corrupted by the virus.

Don't tell me the answer of Capcom for the optimisation is "let's lower the quality of texture"

At first I was questioning where you got that from, but then it made sense at the tail end..
tranquil obsidian
i doubt it's something some random customer support rep is going to have full knowledge on; this looks like a very cookie cutter response
it's also usually not a good idea to call out the company of the system you're trying to get released on, so it's a "jumped or pushed" question
couple of years back there was something similar with tsukihime where the ps artbook was censored, but the Nintendo one wasn't due to "platform publishing policies"

That response isn’t that cookie cutter, but it does still raise questions.

it definitely comes across as a template

It doesn’t mean they actually know but it still raises the questions

identify category; consumer feedback
identify issue: game content
the last part even acknowledged "things to improve in their game" but it's nothing to do with have improvements, it's a censorship issue.

You are convinced.

even the one-word opener feels very much how an AI assistant would answer you

That would be such a rarely used template it would just clutter the system
tranquil obsidian
You are convinced. <:croajirokek:1288294816790347777>
I've worked in customer support, this is exactly how it works. you get a bunch of categories, and it gives you a scripted response with usually bolded phrases to replace

Because the rest of the recent games on the eshop aren’t censored
Cyberpunk wasn’t released that long ago for a policy change, basically within the year.
