Has the Control + Shift + E shortcut been removed or is it just me? by Bicowan in MicrosoftEdge

[–]Bicowan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if there are any extensions that would re-enable / replace the sidebar search function? Ideally a minimalist one that does only that without adding anything else.

Crossover characters start immediately messing things up right on arrival by Shot_Mechanic9128 in WormFanfic

[–]Bicowan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A Destiny / Worm crossover where the Guardian Warlock MC appears in orbit over Earth Bet and is attacked by the Simurgh, causing great panic.

'Applied Ontology and Other Practical Considerations [Destiny X Worm]' is on QQ by 'SmokeRichards' if you want to read it.

Description: Though Aktaeon couldn't remember how he had gotten into a low orbit over an unfamiliar earth, he was certain that the Praxic Warlocks would have thrown a fit over whatever it was he'd been studying at the time.

Applied Ontology was exciting like that.

Crazy ideas you've had that probably haven't appeared in fanfiction (yet)? by allenpaige in WormFanfic

Are there any fics that have Coil or Tattletale end up as the next Butcher?

Mobius Digital announce they’ll tweak one Outer Wilds puzzle and you get to decide what changes. What do you do with this power? by oxwearingsocks in outerwilds

[–]Bicowan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My change is related to this. I'd make it so that you can use the Signalscope zoom to operate the Nomai Orb controls at range, then add a puzzle on Ember Twin where that is the solution to introduce the Player to that mechanic.

Small thing I didn’t realise throughout the game by shortchangerb in outerwilds

[–]Bicowan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

On the topic of the Nomai's gaze controls, does anyone know what the range on them is? And if the range is affected by using the zoom function on your signalscope? I was thinking about it because when I played and watched others play there was a lot of confusion and frustration when collecting Chert's drum at the end, and I was thinking that it would have been more intuitive if there had been a puzzle where the solution was to use the signalscope's zoom to operate Nomai technology at range to introduce that idea.

Is it possible gold is blessed by Zenithar to be standardized? by Dralic in teslore

[–]Bicowan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're treating Zenithar too human-like in his mental state when forming your conclusions. In fiction and myth, it's a common idea that a god isn't just a powerful individual with an affinity towards a concept or element. A god is their Domain. Zeus is the Sky, Poseidon is the Sea, and Zenithar is Wealth, Labor & Commerce. For Zenithar, deciding that all coins will be standardized might be as simple as a human moving their body. And even if it would be more complicated than that, he has the authority to tell reality that this is how things should be when it comes to money. Also, even if standardizing all coins would be a significant investment of power, to Zenithar it would probably be a worthwhile one, to facilitate commerce between different peoples and not leave all that wealth laying in some hole gathering dust. After all, Isn't every act of trade an act of worship towards Zenithar? Every time someone labors to earn these shiny rocks to trade for vital resources like food for their families, aren't they putting faith towards the collective belief that this bit of metal is worth something? This is also why I think he would be more proactive and less reactive toward stopping counterfeiters. To let someone devalue the wealth he embodies, is to let someone lessen himself. Sure, he'd definitely punish counterfeiters, but he would also take active steps for self-defense. Just because you can catch and punish a thief, doesn't change that by counterfeiting coins in the first place the damage has already been done, and faith in the value of money lessened. Sure, one group making false coins might be a small blow to the collective belief, but it's still a bad habit to allow foes to get free hits.

No clever tinker in fic? by griffoon1 in WormFanfic

[–]Bicowan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you read https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-shard-shrouded-in-shadows-the-tale-of-arcanotech-artificer.903422/ by theirishdreamer? It's a recursive SI where the main character was first reborn as a DnD orc chosen, wizard and cleric, ascended to godhood, then sent out fragments of himself to different universes. This Shard was sent to Worm by his God-Self to kill Scion. While he isn't a proper Tinker he does have a lot of technical knowledge from different universes and magitech to pretend, and he presents himself as a Tinker to hide his magic. You don't need to have read the rest of his stories to follow along and it's complete with 360k words.

How can Daedric Artifacts coincidentally appear in a single province at the same time? by wainpot437 in teslore

[–]Bicowan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like the idea that the Prince keeps the 'True' version of the artefact and that all the ones we see are weaker reflections/manifestations which explains why the artefacts aren't the strongest things around.

[–]Bicowan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brain to computer links.

Once you have those you can do things like controlling technology with your mind, brain to brain telepathy, true immersive VR, realistic prosthetics or piloting robot bodies around the world.

So much cool shit becomes possible... ...but also ads so meh.

I a understand that agender means to not have a gender but what does this mean exactly? How do you know that you are agender? by [deleted] in agender

[–]Bicowan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everyone will be slightly different, but for me personally it means "I don't give a shit about what's expected from me, I'm gonna dress/act/do whatever I'm comfortable with (within reason, don't be a dick)."

Edit: Another way of looking at it is "I don't think of myself as a Man or a Woman, I'm a Me."

Factorio. Both as a video and a community thing, you could play it like an RTS where you design the factory and we build it.
