the mortar is love, the mortar is life

if anything is dense the mortar'll make it trite

Berthas work better after a point.

the point being range, pretty much

the size and charge time make it terrible for anything other than breaching a new area while your tonnes of turrets(tm) are flying over

I Love Creeper World.

Anyways, somehow whenever someone on the internet tells me to kill myself it gives me the will to continue my existence, just to spite them.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

What's creeper world?

[Dutchling]

What's creeper world?

This.

The first two versions are free flash games.

[Aklyon]

What's creeper world?

Its a game with and mobile towers vs and liquid heat physics-based creeper. CW2 is side-view and has wireless energy instead of making a mess with fractal collectors and reactors and stuff.

Theres a flash demo of sorts for all three, the games proper are either in Adobe Air (1 & 2) or Unity (CW3) and cost money.

[LordSlowpoke]

wireless energy

heresy yo

relay strats are best strats

[Neonivek]

Hey is there a term for like "Anti-snobs"?

People who honestly find people with money to be flawed and beneath them.

Bonus points for hearing "Entitled" again today in a way that supports my belief that the word should be retired and that no one should EVER use it.

"Ugh, can you believe they are recording things with professional equipment? Rich people are so entitled"
Me: "Dude, they are just recording things."

So in addition to "Entitled" to refer to people with 'standards', 'rights', and 'opinions' it seems that "Entitled" also means "People who use the things they own".

Wouldn't that make them resourceful, though?

Your peers are so sheek.  Much hipster.  So entitled to their sheltered little opinions

Watching the show librarians, not entirly sure what it's about
Some magicey stuff

And I hear this line," some one turned a magic spell into an app"

I have so many problems with this
WTF!

[Frumple]

I've read a handful of things over the years with that as part of the worldbuilding (pretty certain that more or less comes up re: techno shamans in shadowrun, just as an example). Honestly, from a technomancy/magitek perspective -- just a high-tech friendly or formulaic magic system in general -- it makes an incredible amount of sense. Pretty much everything paper and ink (scrolls, spellbooks, runic systems, all those fancy spell circles, etc., etc.) can do, digital can do better. Digital assistants, casting aids, digitalized arcane repositories, etc., etc., etc.

Like, imagine what elminster could pull off with mechadendrites, y'know? It can be pretty neat.well, besides HERESY, of course

And having an app for, say, create water or food? World hunger solved, assuming magic isn't a (functionally) finite resource in that universe.

Regardless, it would be straight up in line with your average uses/day artifacts. Probably have some material components, so the only purpose of it being an app would be ease of use (likely part of a compendium style multi-effect artifact*) or part of an interface, but... yeah. It's a logical progression.

*Modern miniaturization making thin sheets of properly enchanted material, bound together... stuff like that. Industrial revolution does amazing things for the average magical system, assuming everyone involved isn't plot-lobotomized.

E: This is disregarding the fact that most aps could count as a divination or illusion spell as-is, ha. Hell, your average flashlight ap could probably match some evocation spells... (I'm looking at you, 0th level light.*).

E2: *What's really scary is that depending on the machine you could be looking at a light spell from a 18th+ level caster. Remember folks, if you put your phone in your pocket, for every 10 minutes it can display a white screen, you've got the equivalent of that many caster levels in your pants. 20th level pocket wizard, ohohoho.

[Orange Wizard]

Dancing Lights is way better than Light, though.

[Frumple]

Not quite there with your average mobile ap, yet. Another <X amount of> decades and further refinement of the already existent holograph technology, though...

I think we've got quite a ways to go there, considering that the only freestanding hologram technology we currently have (as in not contained with screens, etc. on the sides) involves making tiny parts of the air explode into thousand degree plasma.

[Baffler]

It's not technically a freestanding hologram, but we can successfully produce an optical illusion that makes a display look like a freestanding hologram from... some angles. It's gettin' there.
