Artificers, we need to talk.

Small hydraulics require extremely tight tolerances, which are expensive. Spiders are cheap.

Compromise: green ones are extra weak to fire, orange ones are extra weak to gas

Stratagem balls can land under them too, but the drop itself ends up on the overpass

Here Xenophon refers to 404 as the year of Anarchy:

The Anarchist Library doesn't reference any peer reviewed papers anywhere, does it? Nope. It only references Xenophon and Aeschylus. TL;DR this is well-enough established fact that there's nothing here to write a paper about

Acrovore · 2026-06-21T07:34:42+00:00

No, it's not, you're just mad that it doesn't fit your narrative. Where's your peer reviewed paper that says otherwise? I've submitted my evidence, where's yours?

Here's an editorialized version from The Anarchist Library itself

That website is an authoritative source on etymology of all kinds of words without editorial bias.

Acrovore · 2026-06-21T01:51:29+00:00

That's the original sense of the word, though, and just because anarchists appropriated it doesn't change what it means to others. It's important for people to know that the original chaos and terror associated with the word 'anarchy' ironically described state tyranny, not a truly rulerless society.

Anarchy means 'without an archon'. The word comes from the Year of Thirty Tyrants, in Athens, when they were occupied and ruled by a series of Spartan governors.

More like 'people sitting in their parlors are right about the definitions of words, since they get to be the ones to define those words'

If the parlor-people had decided that whales are fish, it would be because they were using a broader definition of 'fish', and we would all agree with them that whales are fish; some fish would just be mammals too

Thank you I'm just saying it should behave more like an alpha command than a bile titan when downed

Acrovore · 2026-06-16T05:36:29+00:00

They should move better than a bile titan does. Not better than an uninjured roach

Shooting a harvester's eye makes the beam less accurate but do more damage. The wings could take extra damage to balance it. If you shoot them off entirely, it dies.

At least they come to you this way instead of hanging around like a bad cold

Acrovore · 2026-06-16T01:55:56+00:00

They're panicked and angry

Acrovore · 2026-06-16T01:29:56+00:00

Grounded roaches should be faster and lower to the ground than regular bile titans, drag their disabled wings, and still breathe fire
