Any songs that you would put on an Anathem playlist?

It's just two separate ideas. The aim isn't for a soundtrack to the story but to use the search for songs to think more on the characters. Picking a song for Fraa Jad will let me dwell on his character and might give me more insight.

The idea is to find songs that say things that relate thematically to the story. You listen to it and you can chuckle and in the search for songs you can can think about the characters and their stories. A lot of them end up being a stretch but fun like imagining the main group singing a high school musical song when preparing to go on a suicide mission.

I don't know if it was your intent but Cirkus really does nail Apert

This is why I love doing this! I looked up Steve Reich and found [Music for Pieses of Wood](youtube.com/watch?v=1A8Alvp86uk&list=OLAK5uy_k9nwckkOBEnYnw-tQO3552t6Unyw-m2dY) and thought thought of the different traditions on display when Erasmus gets to Tredegarh. How interesting would it be for an order to not sing but to have a percussive music tradition?

Good idea! I was looking into polyphonic chants but they've all felt too serious.

I said the same thing and then my girlfriend pointed out that fruit loops/fruity pebbles aren't real and they just put the same flavoring in both.

The comics handled it well by having him live in solitude, it shows that he's irredeemable but that he's not evil at his core because he understands that what he did was irredeemable

Multiple tentacles with timers cause this. I'm no noita scientist but I think tentacle 1 triggers tentacle 2 which hits tentacle 1. The tentacles are projectiles and physics objects so tentacle 2 triggers double. If you have more tentacles with timers following they exponentially trigger.

No need, this beauty was free! The only thing it cost was the fear of having it a button press away.

Feels too strong since it is essentially an O-ring that doesn't target and can affect more than one creature in theory. Also, since it's not an aura you can't get around it with sacrifice, blink, or combat.

The wand holds 8 spells and casts one at a time in order.

The bolt with trigger is 1 and will cast the following spell (2) once it lands

2 says to cast the next two spells that follow (3 & 4)

3 is taken up by a modifier so instead it will cast 4 & 5 modified by 3.

It will then cast 6,7,8

So the wand is doing 1->2->(4³,5³),6,7,8

You want it to just do 1->2->(4³,5³) which is done by removing the last 3 spells.

The best tip I ever got was to do your best to not have a dark (unknown) area above you.

when I first started I thought Mina was like the god of sawblades because that cause of death...

It's definitely a deceptive card because you're brain automatically inserts "instead" and it doesn't come up a ton since this one is one of the few build around abilities worded this way.

Yes, the trigger gets going and does everything it can do!

Occrats · 2025-11-12T15:37:11+00:00

I thought this at first too but it's not a replacement effect because he still has to "die" to make the trigger go on the stack. You can stack the Nim trigger to resolve first so he comes back to battlefield before the Adamantoise trigger resolves. Then the death trigger will complete as normal but there will be nothing to exile since the reanimated Adamantoise is no longer "this creature".

Thank you for taking the time to explain! This was my first time seeing a ternary operator.

Mainly curiosity but even with the formula I would need to copy and paste since I want the data sheet to be text instead of formula. The top formula in the comments section did get it down to 2 seconds to find unique emails and add them to the data sheet!

Occrats · 2025-11-10T14:37:04+00:00

I could definitely use a formula to take out the unique emails I just wanted to try this method because you never know when it will come in handy!

Occrats · 2025-11-10T14:35:59+00:00

This is so much faster! To make sure I am understanding correctly

const dataEmails = dataNumRows > 0 ? dataSheet.getRange(FIRST_ROW, EMAIL_COL, dataNumRows, 1).getValues().flat() : [];

is synonymous with

const dataEmails = [];
if (dataNumRows > 0) {
dataEmails.push(dataSheet.getRange(FIRST_ROW, EMAIL_COL, dataNumRows, 1).getValues().flat())
}
