[Innominate]

Oh man, I didn't even notice.

huh? Not getting the joke this time either.....

Somebody said "sight" when they meant "site", as in "website". Footkerchief used the same word coincidentally.

Yes, this is the level of humour on bay12games forums. Why do you ask?

[smjjames]

Well, it is late for most of us (until somewhere in Europe, where its sunrise), so... yea I guess.

[MrWiggles]

Oh, I get it now. Ha.

Also, we're a fifth a way there to a thousand pages. We can do it!

Wit the hydra test, that gotta mean that test are some sorta not at the start milestone.

One fifth?

276/100 =/= 1/5!

Edit: Furthermore, 276/1000 =/- 1/5!

[bombcar]

I see us as being on page 920. We'll get there.

[MrWiggles]

Yea, with 20 being a fifth of 100, the number of pages needed when were at 900 when the goal of a thousand was sorta started.

So the implication is that you can always dig down far enough to hit magma. Is there a point, far enough down, that you would find nothing but endless magma, like reaching the planet's mantle?

Almost certainly not. Fundamental assumptions of the game's engine would have to change, and there's little benefit there.

Indeed, such an area would cause an instant cave-in.


Also, it's several miles of crust before you hit the mantle, and you'd die from the heat long before you reached it. In order to accurately represent that you'd need like ten thousand z levels or something atrocious like that.

Wat

Just an obscure reference that I doubt anyone will get.  This does bring up an interesting point though.  Where are the polar regions in such a world?

"ERAU QSSI DLRO WEHT" is "THEW ORLD ISSQ UARE" backwards. The World is Square.

...I can't believe I didn't get that reference.  Then again, I haven't played FF6 for quite some time.

Original text is something like "Rest in Peace" one way and "rot in your grave" read the other, rather than something so self-ser'ing.

The problem is determining what Z level 0 actually is. If it's the lowest sea floor then that means it's about 5000 meters below sea level. If it's the absolute lowest the sea can go, then it's about 10,000 meters below sea level (that's about how deep the marianas trench is.)

Sea is 0 - 99, land is 100 - 299, mountains are 300 - 400.

[darkflagrance]

I don't think I've seen you drop a 'v' in a looong time.

I ha'en't gotten below 0 (or was it 1?) sea. Also it truncates the nearby mountains, annoyingly.

It's back to not-working, though now no quickfix of "remo'e keycap, press squishy thingy"

[Lemunde]

I think it's safe to say we'll be much closer to a release when the updates about bugs start dieing down.

[immibis]

Aw, no gas (smoke, miasma, etc spreading and going through chimneys instead of disipating, etc)

[smjjames]

If you had a constant source, it probably would, but yea only for a short distance.

[Footkerchief]

Oh THAT'S why you do it.  I was seriously starting to wonder if you just liked creating random contractions.

[piecewise]

So toady is testing the hydra. Does this mean that we're moving on from bug fixing and to the rest of the list? Or are is toady just taking a quick break to deal with the specific bugs of the Hydra before returning to other bugs?
