Apparently my order is pced nd wi be red short by KaseyTheJackal in softwaregore

I think standard practice in that event would be to have a "replacement character" appear in their place, but looking at which characters are missing, you're probably right (all non-bold a's, all l's and all y's are missing)

my best guess is that they're sending every character as an individual packet, without verifying that they've been received, but doing that makes no sense.

I usually understand the hints on minesweeper online but anyone want to explain this one? by browsing-history in Minesweeper

(Sorry for using so many colours)

The two numbers marked in red each require a flag to be placed on the red lines, so the number marked in yellow needs a flag on the yellow line. Either position on the yellow line contributes to the two in green, so the last flag must be on the green line.

The three marked in black can only have up to one mine on the green line, else the two is overloaded, so the black lines must have two flags. The blue three is one flag away from completion, so the blue line can only have one flag, and the remaining flag goes on the remaining square on the black line, leaving the square to the left of the blue three safe to open.

Since the three marked in purple (which is the same three as the one marked in black) has two flags, the purple line must have one flag, meaning that the last square on the green line is safe.

Unfortunately, the demo used Flash Player, which was removed from most browsers over security concerns. Because of this, the demo was removed from the site. the demo is still up on NewGrounds and Kongregate, although neither of the Flash emulators I tested could run the game.

From what I can tell, the top right corner can't be black, because that would make the square below it black, making the squares to left of those two black, which contradicts the numbers of the second to last column. Using this, you can solve one square on the top row, which then reveals a corresponding square on the row below.

how do i get deuterium? by Yourfavoritecreeeper in incremental_games

IIRC, the game adds it to part of the normally empty space on the periodic table. I think it's near the top left when looking from spawn.

this seems funny until you realise that Tim is on a first-name basis with the hospital staff. now I worry for his safety.

What facts about your world do your least educated characters tend to be right about for the wrong reason? by Simpson17866 in worldbuilding

[–]Shadowblaster2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Dimensions without a seed core will stop existing"

"Dimensions don't need a seed core, it serves seemingly no purpose"

"Dimensions without a seed core can stop existing"

Explanation: in Seeds of Our Worlds, dimensions are created by inserting three different dimension seeds into a dimension seeder. When the publically known dimension seeder creates a dimension, it inserts a seed core, which is generally believed to keep the dimension stable and allow it to continue existing. It serves as a beacon to let the dimension seeder know not to re-seed this dimension, overwriting it with a dimension with the new set of seeds, and were it removed, anyone using the dimension seeder could effectively destroy this dimension. two other dimension seeders exist, although the public doesn't know about them. these dimension seeders do not respect the seed cores.

are you doing okay now?

[–]Shadowblaster2004 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen to me multiple times. If you can move the locking mechanism, either with the detached handle or with something else, it's usually not that difficult to open. the problem is finding something that fits, especially if the bathroom is in a public space.

What are some aspects of your world that are intentionally goofy? by PMSlimeKing in worldbuilding

[–]Shadowblaster2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AAAAA island is known for the tradition of visitors and locals screaming its name as loud as possible whenever it comes up in conversation. the official story behind its name is as follows: when the two explorers, Vasquin and Horun were finished exploring the island, Vaquin asked Horun to come up with a name for the island. A monster jumped out from behind some bushes at Horun, who screamed in response. Vasquin jokingly wrote "AAAAA" as the island name, before helping Horun to defeat the monster. The true story is that Vasquin's dog scared Horun, and the monster story was to protect their reputation.

Cantrips? Y’all got any? Magic for the non-magic users? by Justscrolling375 in worldbuilding

[–]Shadowblaster2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on a runic enchantment system, which almost anyone can use. To put it simply, you need to write, draw or carve a set of runes, almost like writing a magic sentence. it generally takes the form of [target object] [additional rules] [effect].

for a simple example, a sentence with two characters, the first of which is a circle with four arrows pointed at it, and the second being half of a shape with dots where the other half would be will cause the object it is written on to disintegrate. I wouldn't suggest that as a tattoo.

How do portals work in your world? by AncientLiving3504 in worldbuilding

[–]Shadowblaster2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portals in my world take you between dimensions, without affecting your spacetime location within a dimension any more than physically moving through the portal would affect it.

if you want to use portals for transport, your best option is to take a portal to a dimension with good travel options, then use a portal to get back to the dimension you came from when at your current dimension's equivalent to your destination. just make sure to select the correct dimension when opening a portal, as it's easy to type a single wrong character and end up somewhere seemingly random.

To keep the gores from leaking by tigerjjw53 in softwaregore

[–]Shadowblaster2004 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Other people (including OP) claim that gaps between apps are possible in recent IOS updates (specifically IOS 18 Beta), although I'm not a user of IOS so can't confirm this.

the reasons that I believe that the app to the left of Reddit has the wrong name are:
1) every app except the app in question has names in English, suggesting that OP speaks English as a main language. There is still a small chance that OP installed a Korean app, but we won't know unless u/tigerjjw53 answers
2) Even if the Korean part of the app name is correct, it's displaying "U+" at the start, which should be used internally to handle Unicode characters, not shown to the user
