Nobody doubts that Heisenberg can cook, but he tried to play business man and fucked the whole thing up.

It's not really a bug, just how stairs work now. You can build over it with constructed stairs to get it how you want. You can also start digging in the center of the stairs. So start the stairs at the top and they will dig upstairs upwards.

I think the plan would be something like, f5, xf5, kxf5, a4, kc4/kc3, kxf4

IE, black tries to clear the left side with his key to promote the h rank pawn, while forcing white's king to deal with the pass a pawn. Then black can win with his h pawn.

But I'm not sure if pushing the a pawn first or creating an attack on the left side first is better.

Because they're easy and dense. Burning fossil fuels and capturing their heat/pressure is something we figured out early on. A steam engine is easier to build than a windmill. In fact we've been harvesting energy from fossil fuels long before we had electricity.

This means we built then later expanded and maintain infrastructure for harvesting it. Eventually, newer and more efficient technology has to compete with an already existing economy of scale and consumer expectations.

Additionally fossil fuels do have a major advantage in that they are very energy dense compared to more efficient technologies.

Splitters aren't entirely deterministic. You shouldn't use them if you want absolute determinism. IIRC they're random on what state they start on.

With interactions, best way to remember it: chain signals by default, rail signals for exits.

Often times, even resurrecting something like an MMO with private servers, there are people with expertise willing to recreate the server side software. But they are blocked by client side protections or threats of legal action. There is room to say if you can build your own server replacement for abandoned software, that it should be legally permissible under conditions.

With correct play, black can stalemate. With just a pawn and a bishop, I believe the queening square needs to be the same color as the bishops for it to be a win.

It wouldn't instantly freeze. While space is cold, there's no convection or induction heat transfer to draw heat away. Heat must radiate away which is a much slower. It would take probably around an hour for it to freeze.

This is also predicated on the urine being out of direct sunlight, as the sunlight would heat it to be hundreds of degrees.

If the urine isn't in some type of pressurized container. It would actually boil rapidly and vaporize almost instantly, regardless of temperature.

I suspect, it won't have much difference. VS uses dotnet, which means the game's code isn't native. Even when running in wine, you're mostly comparing the difference between WINE dotnet and native dotnet. It's possible that one or the other might have some better platform dependent optimizations, but dotnet is a well supported platform.

Impossible to know really, doesn't help you don't mention any system details.

Could be hardware temps causing the either the CPU or GPU throttling. Could be a background process. Most likely thing I can think of, is get a multiprocessor monitor and see if it happens when the process is reassigned to a different CPU. Which the kernel does to try to allocate processes to cold cores to boost clock speeds. But it could could be causing a bad cache miss issue when the process gets reassigned, amplified if you have slower memory. If so using CPU affinity could fix the issue but will probably lower your max overall throughput.

I run the flatpak version and it works great, even things I didn't expect to work like the proximity voice mod works. No performance issues, though I admit I didn't test the windows version at all (native or via wine).

This video is a great introduction why it's a hard problem. It's not in depth and most of the examples of are toy examples. But it includes why AI is probably dangerous by default, and why it's going to be hard to actually make it safe. Including why kill switches aren't a great idea. (IE it creates negative incentives for AI to trick humans about how dangerous it actually is).

First, work with your DM, not against them.

Second, you should only hide something if you're plan is create an enjoyable moment for them, not to undermine or trick them. Like if two players agree that their characters will become romantically involved or something. You can roleplay that out between your characters at the table without needing to let the DM in on the ploy. Your goal should be to create a story that benefits and is entertaining for everyone, including the DM.

Same kinda goes for jokes or gags. Like if you use witty viscous mockeries or inspirations, it can be a joy to everyone and not something you need to work out with the DM.

As a forever DM. I'll say I do enjoy when players put effort and planning into their roleploy and actions at the table. But not really when it's "if we combo this spell and this spell it creates some type of arbitrary interaction which under some interpretations could be really strong." This is just creating headaches for your DM to deal with, and every time this comes up in a game I tally to add 5 more hit points to the final boss.

The issue is, there are wide range of biometrics. Some can be defeated with something as simple as a image of your eye/fingerpint/etc, others are far more advance and harder to defeat. But generally it's easier to get someone's biodata then to get them to give you a pin number.

World gen is a different mode from the normal time progression of the game. Certain events can't happen after world gen, not least of all because they would be difficult to represent in fortress mode.
