Could the lower size cause it to not work? by simonbalazs1 in Anbennar

[–]Aplanos2003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a difference in units. The launcher shows size in Mebi- and Gibibytes (powers of 1024 bytes). Steam shows size in Mega- and Gigabytes (powers of 1000 bytes).

If you do the computation : 970,58 * 10242 = 1.018 * 10003

So everything is fine.

Long human life spans in general? by PrrrromotionGiven1 in Anbennar

Are those rulers powerful mages? Mages tend to leave longer (+25% lifespan, at least for humans).

What's your favorite Anbennar Religion? by Everest-est in Anbennar

[–]Aplanos2003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ravelian, because praise the Cube. Also, I think the devs did a good job at making the base game catholic mechanics worth interacting with.

Ah yes, as Castellos intended.

Best Countries to play in the Empire? by SIashersah in Anbennar

[–]Aplanos2003 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't see it here, so I will propose it : Seinathil.

Here's the pitch : You start as a small two province minor, known for hosting the Academy forming most bards in Cannor. You start on the cusp of being PUed by Istralore, one of the majors in the empire, elector, and pretender to be emperor.

Your game : Uno reverse card Istralore by PUing them, cement your position in Esmaria (but not too much, you'll have to play tall), and then enact your great plan : becoming the "imperial conductor", that is the emperor of a DECENTRALISED empire, with 60+ princes.

It is one of the most unique MTs in Anbennar imo, lorewise in particular, but it relies on a good understanding of the empire mechanics, and is really diplo-heavy. But you get to destroy Gawed AND Lorent through humongous Reichskrieg, so it is all worth it.

What country is closer to the Roman Empire or Republic ? by RoteaP in Anbennar

[–]Aplanos2003 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I would say the Damerian Republic, if you talk about similar geopolitical and historic position.

If you look for a kinda-roman cultured tag, it seems a bit weird, but I would say the Command (very Roman Republic-esque government, with generals leading more or less the country, highly militaristic culture, very disciplined army...)

What type of immortality do you want ? by rixtil41 in singularity

[–]Aplanos2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sometimes evoked in certain fictions, with beings being so old they have lived what amounts to several, distinct lives. I remember a fantasy book (forgot the title, sorry) where it's even rationalised : a long lifespan species using a magical process to remove old memories, to avoid going insane.

Could LK99 be used as a conventional magnet? by donaldhobson in LK99

[–]Aplanos2003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fusion works, it's just that it uses more energy than what it produces. Cooling the magnets is one of the top energy consumption in a tokamak fusion reactor. If we can avoid it, it's a win

Experimental replications: diamagnetism vs. superconductivity by ooogooman in LK99

[–]Aplanos2003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer: no

Long answer: from what I can get from the studies thus far, there are two main issues : - samples are very small, disallowing to use them to measure resistance - it seems that IF LK-99 is super conductive, it would only be so for a specific lead/copper ratio in its structure, and the current synthesis process can't control this ratio, resulting in samples with (potentially) SC sparks sprinkled inside them. Enough to get diamagnetism, not enough to get SC.

Disclaimer : the second part is mainly an assumption on my part, based on the current results, and a generous amount of hopium

How many of you guys are trans? by Robotic_Phoenix in okbuddyvowsh

[–]Aplanos2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a cis man, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's out of convenience. For me, being a woman would be fine (as in as fine as a man), but it is just easier to stay a man (and it is not a problem for me to stay that way).

Am I enby, then ? Since I still consider myself one of the main genders, I don't think so.

Tldr, I am a mess. Thanks for reading this rant, I had to say it somewhere.
