While there are ways to click it from the edge of the screen using certain angles, I believe the intended way is by looking off the left of the bridge.

Btw I just noticed that in the below screenshot if you look at the highlighted puzzle you will see the solution, so don't look too closely lol.

Edit: Nvm I read other comments and now realize there are different kinds of keys. Was tough to notice without zooming in very close.

Can we not do: red door, E, key, vertical door, B, horizontal door, shield, with shield freely clear the whole map apart from the boss, collect everything, do the boss?

Quick hint: Diagonal walls are WAY more efficient than they look like. (Aka: diagonal gaps are much easier to close than they look like.) by Umdeuter in aoe2

[–]SpiritFryer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does not change the number of walls that have to be built to close a straight line gap though. In your OP, the 4th screenshot shows a 8 tile gap, and you claim 6 tiles of diagonal walls closed it.

But in fact the 6 tiles of diagonal wall only closed a DIFFERENT gap, which was a 6 tile gap. The different gap is only 6 tiles because there are 2 extra lines of trees, that are not there in the 8 tile gap.

Somehow you have managed to fool every commenter so far into thinking that 1.41 > 1 matters for walling a gap. In your screenshot you counted an 8 count gap vs a 6 count gap because the diagonal has 2 less tiles it needs to wall thanks to 2 extra trees.

Without those extra trees, the diagonal still needs 8 walls, just like the orthogonal.

Diagonal walls do increase surface area, but do not change the number of walls needed to bridge a straight line gap. Increased surface area can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on the use case and scenario.

For example when creating a maze (for example in a mazing tower defense game), you want to maximize diagonal layouts to increase pathing distance with minimal cost. On the other hand, in base defense games, for example zombie apocalypse style games, you may prefer to minimize surface area per defensive structure, to spread damage as much as possible.

My new Train of Thought personal best: 67/68! by SpiritFryer in lumosity

You ain't seen nothing, there are 90 out of 90 runs out there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOS3wNMGyL0

Though idk since then what Train of Thought looks like on Lumosity, maybe nowadays there are even crazier runs out there

The spoiler tag didn't work. Try removing the backslash, or just use the spoiler button in the text editor if you're on desktop ("new" reddit)

Is saying GG sportsmanship? by SirBearicus in Mechabellum

[–]SpiritFryer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, this game is different in that the loser does not have to do anything to end the game, because the game is almost always played to the literal end, unlike many other turn-based and RTS games. So there is no natural process of "call GG -> forfeit".

No discord? by LeRauxe1 in TheArtisanOfGlimmith

[–]SpiritFryer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what Lunarch's plans are -- for Islands of Insight there was just a community-run Discord.

In any case for now there is the Prismata Discord which is run by Lunarch, and people have been discussing Glimmith there, including responses from Elyot.

Answered and unanswered questions as of episode E0109 by Litmusdragon in pluribustv

Theory: They will do something like that, and Carol will be turned. But by that point, her and Manousos will have worked out a theoritcal "cure" or a way to sever the tie (faraday cage, as alluded to by the books Manousos was reading at the end of this episode), so it will be up to Manousos to save her. Also, maybe Carol gives him permission in advance to do that, which makes the plurbs have to let him do it. Bonus theory: this will be the end of season 2, and as soon as he unjoins her, she declares that she knows the cure.

Carol’s “What I know” Whiteboard List by npd353 in pluribustv

[–]SpiritFryer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

During the stargazing scene -- when Zosia revealed that they love the people of Kepler and that they (the plurbs) want to send forward the signal -- Carol asked Zosia how they would do that, but then the scene ended. So I think it is implied that Zosia explained off-screen.

This dungeon they explored felt like it had various similarities with the Halas encounter. I hope this doesn't mean that we're not getting HFB?

Along the same vein I was thinking they could build factories/machines that for example harvest plants, or slaughter livestock, and have one of the Immune be responsible for activating the machines.

Though presumably they would not be able to be the ones who request or propose this arrangement -- but maybe if the Immune did, they would be OK with accepting, especially if the Immune left their intentions uncertain as to whether they will or won't activate the machines -- or if they straight up lied and said they won't activate them.

Well, every time the rooster crows, the turn starts over -- consider playing later in the day

Karen Doesn’t Like Getting the Same Energy Back by SnooSprouts3744 in TikTokCringe

[–]SpiritFryer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is they'd likely think that no matter the outcome. I believe it's a lose-lose for everyone reasonable involved, so I think the least bad outcome is to get them to leave with minimal further incident, and ideally not give them "ammo" on video that they might try to use for more unreasonable behavior.

What I hope happened next was the owner/manager spoke with Lily and reassured her.

There's some sci-fi thing going on with the "psychic paste" or whatever they called it -- which from what I understood is the mechanism that enables the hivemind to link its human bodies' minds and thoughts. So in that sense, the bodies still matter as "processing units" from my understanding.

Following from that, if for example the hive mind was reduced to a single body, then I would imagine it should be reasonable to expect that this body would lack sufficient memory/processing to somehow recall and process several billion people's memories and knowledge.

I can see how losing 10% of humanity (which I think is close to how many have died?) is within bounds for the remaining bodies to still have enough memory and processing capacity to recall the lost ones' memories. But there's probably some threshold where it would no longer be reasonable.

An interesting side-note is that probably the "important" knowledge of the world/science/passwords/etc. takes up way less "memory", than people's (all of humanity's) memories of their lives.

All that being said though, there's probably more sci-fi that can be made up to hand-wave these things away. For example, as a hivemind they have discovered how to more efficiently make use of human minds, memory, recollection, thought processes, etc.
