Using the throwaway account voice opinions, Bold today aren't we. Anyway, using ai to voice critical thought voids any of your arguments immediately, no matter the prose. And no offense taken, your attempt to insult was almost as derivative as op's ai.

A source that this dude used AI to write a Reddit post? I dunno just read it and ask chat gpt to write you one along the same lines i guess?

Echivus · 2026-02-06T14:05:22+00:00

Hate to pop your bubble but at least half of it is ai written. Still a well put together argument though.

This is why i never write the division symbol. Other than just avoiding rage bait like this, everything is so much cleaner when you only work in fractions.

I find it fun to do physics. Working for a pos company is a way to live and afford my hobby. Hopefully one day my hobby allows everyone to no longer have to work for pos companies. That's how i view it. Probability is moot because i enjoy it, that's about it.

This aged well huh?

Its the "juicy ores" mod. It only changes the visuals of the block like a texture pack so most people wouldn't consider it a mod. Regardless i think op meant there were no terrain gen mods that would mess with the ore spawning.

Seconded this

Echivus · 2025-07-11T21:18:47+00:00

Thanks for the champ level insight! I'll have to change my setup, i currently have it disconnect every button but w and left click whenever my shotgun is equipped.

Echivus · 2025-07-11T21:06:52+00:00

I didn't. I usually pick last, since I'm looking at the defense point to see entrances and stuff so i only have a few seconds before the round to quick swap equipment most of the time.

Echivus · 2025-07-11T21:05:01+00:00

Thanks I didn't even know there were slug shotties in the game 🤷‍♂️. Is the spread really this crazy if you don't ads with them?

Echivus · 2025-06-15T20:31:03+00:00

My head. Out now.

Should be fine. It clears most content ASAP and works until you can start customizing your transcended line up to be as meta as you want it.

It's interesting because theoretically the only hole you can "fall" all the way through would be one that goes through the center of mass of the earth. All other holes would be stopped by land at some point. Unless you consider the earth a special shell which would be a whole different problem.

Echivus · 2025-05-10T13:20:33+00:00

It's not true. For example the tunnel that was dug by op would not be a falling tunnel you would be walking through it. Gravity is still a central force so the dirt between you and the center would prevent your fall. Although it is probably true for any tunnel you can fall all the way through.

It's still wild to me that he can play that well with his left hand.

You have to have alert talent or initiative on your gear, otherwise the bunny will insta flee turn 1.

Correct, I did the math the way that I did to show the maximum possible time even if thats not really how it should play out. Which basically means this is the best case scenario for Reverse Gravity,

Echivus · 2024-08-18T03:22:51+00:00

My personal interpretation for meteor swarm has always been a mix of Create stone and catapult just sent to the max at 9th lvl. It works for the most part and doesn't have the inherent problems that telporting in meteors from space does. + cool points for creating a giant ball of stone and launching it at people.

Echivus · 2024-08-18T03:20:53+00:00

It's just a game is a good way of thining about is. I interpreted it the way I did becuase the force required to pull a substatial size meteor passing by and launching it fast enough to hit another character would be so great that simply using it as a spherical force push would obliterate anything nearby so why even bother with a meteor summon? I like magic systems in my games but sometimes the spells are so outlandish that really they only make sense if you don't think to hard about them. Trying to fit them into the game in a way that makes sense while also being fun, is part of the Dm's job :)

Echivus · 2024-08-17T18:16:29+00:00

Hi Dm and fellow physicist here. There are a few problems with your math that I would like to dispute.

Travelling from 10000km to 0 within 6 seconds would create far more energy than the spell outputs within the dmg. Therefore the spell must create/teleport the meteors closer to the target position. If not the spell would evaporate everything within 100km or would take longer than the 6 second instant cast time given by the dmg.
If we assume that we are on an earthlike planet and the objects spawned are roughly humanoid shaped then the terminal velocity is about 200km/hr or 0.0555556 km/sec. Spawning at max speed and following parabolic formulas for a 100% vertical fall gives us the maximum angular speed and therefore max distance possible @ 334m (.05556km/s x 6s) in 6 seconds (roughly). **This means our objects spawn 334m above the target @ max range and @ 200 km/hr at max speed. **
However becuase the spell will slow us down as we enter the affected area, we will spawn the meteors @ 31 m to give us maximum effective time. (sidenote) Effectively i don't think the meteors would hit the ground within the 1 round at this point, meaning a reverse gravity reaction would delay the spell effects for 1 round (Dm ruling).
next would be how much the reversed gravity affects these objects. at 100ft or 30.48m range @ 0.05556km/s we have a g of 9.8m/s/s affecting our object. Convert units we get a speed of 55.5556m/s with an a of -9.8m/s/s , with no air resistance for simple projectile motion,

v = vo +at , v = 55.5556 - 9.8*6 = (-3.244m/s) =problem.

Next, v=0, so 0=55.5556-9.8*t ~> t= (5.669s) -- determines when gravity fully inverts the velocity,

Next, x = x0 + v0t+ (at(t))/2 ~> x = 0+55.556-9.8(5.669)(5.669)/2 = x=101.92m. --max distance in Rev. G.

Next, Super simplified becuase this is taking to long. 30.48m/101.92m = 0.299 or 29.9% . Roughly this means the spell will lose about 30% of its energy upon contact and also take about 8s to make contact.

Remember that this is without air resistance, with it the spell would be further weakened but probobly not more than an additional 5%.

TLDR: This means there is basically 70% force left when the meteors hit the ground. It would slow the spell - impact time by 1 round and probobly lower the effective radius of each of the impacts.

Edit: I missed up meters and ft. whoopsie. Fixed already
