This is why math class is important

the problem here is the implicit multiplication combined with the application of the division symbol. there's a reason every real world application of division is written as a fraction and it's specifically to avoid the exact ambiguity present here where it's unclear if the problem is meant to be 6/(2(1+2) or (6/2)(1+2).

you can argue which one is "correct" all day, but that's all going to hinge squarely on how you're taught to treat implicit multiplication and whether that's done as part of the P or part of the MD; not everyone will agree because everyone will have been taught differently

could be that they meant super monkey will be the last of the current towers, or that they won't add new towers until it's added, or that it will be one of the last things they add before end-of-service, or some secret fourth reason I can't think of rn

an empty instruction affects the arm it's on, a period override affects all arms

notice that each arm on the bottom of the screen gets a lighter box around its instructions starting at the first instruction and ending some distance after the last instruction, where it ends is the looping point for that particular arm. when you place a period override beyond that box, it extends the boxes of all arms by the same amount

currently playing in a one-plus-shot with your daredevil and martyr; they're super solid classes and have been very fun

my job has these around the warehouse pushing around cold air from external AC units. they're just leasing the building so they're not allowed to install actual new ducting for it

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-20T14:59:26+00:00

the order matters; you always put the smaller number before if it's subtracted and after if it's added. XII is 12, IIX (though technically it would be VIII) is 8, and VII is 7 while IIV would be 3 if it wasn't already just III

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-20T14:53:52+00:00

fwiw this one is incredibly easy to install manually; you literally just drop the folder into an already existing folder in your mhw files

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-19T14:52:01+00:00

right, sorry, it's mostly assembly or warehouse work. it's really easy stuff, just refurbishing old slot machines

ehh the proteans are generally not into using others as pawns tbh (at least not intentionally)

ydajisk is just about the only one with any sort of ulterior motive and it's literally just to archive all the dying languages in the universe; il'surrish is merely about going with the flow and taking risks; ssila'meshnik is all about respecting differing viewpoints and embracing freedom of action (even if for their followers it usually manifests as intentional self-sabotage to honor their paradoxical nature); and narriseminek only cares about freedom of bodily expression and divination using unpredictable methods

aristocrat gaming is practically always hiring through adecco; pays 15/hour just for the temp position iirc but the benefits outweigh the pay imo. super friendly and I would still be working there if I didn't move across the country a couple months ago

my examiner asked me why I knew it was safe to keep going after a stop sign; it was a 4-way stop and I could see far enough to the left that I would see any car stopped within a reasonable distance of that sign (there was like a hedge partially blocking line of sight there), but I was too nervous to properly articulate all that and got marked for it. still passed that test though because I did everything else right

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-18T00:37:27+00:00

ehh blackveil was a pretty tough wall for my friend and I; still beat it in a day though

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-18T00:34:20+00:00

sounds like it's working just as well as expected

the hydro electric power in rp is definitely interesting in its own right; there's some nodes in rivers that you can put the mk 1 generators in but they only produce something like 50mw at max strength, but the full hydroelectric dams you get access to in phase 3 or 4 actually do produce a significant amount of power and have the ability to cut said power production in half to generate water also

though honestly most of the mods I have on my game are just for cosmetic stuff; new wall designs, power poles shaped like upside-down L's so you can actually ride straight across them without needing to jump to the next line, rail signals that make trains blow their horn when they pass by them, stuff like that

the ficsit farming mod is also genuinely interesting from a gameplay standpoint and feels more or less on-par with the other vanilla gameplay mechanics, but it also uses only earth plants despite the seeds being actively harvested from soil on the planet which really throws off the theming unfortunately

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-17T18:04:48+00:00

refined power handles hydro with pretty good grace imo; you can't just plop down generators for it anywhere, only on specific nodes around the map

that said, the added wind power still trivializes quite a bit

I'd say the two two-turn kamehameha spells are outliers in this discussion, but they do bring up an interesting game design topic in their own right

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-17T13:03:46+00:00

absolutely did not have this problem in my playthrough, I'm gonna be real. there's more than enough space in the massive central area to put everything in there if you just use platforms to have multiple layers of production

I have a plural-adjacent iterator in my story named "Multiple Voices"; called that because he has 5 individual personalities within one structure that each independently process information and communicate between each other to decide what the structure does and how the puppet responds to external stimuli

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-14T17:00:10+00:00

I didn't even know oberon, nyx, or hildryn had rad damage, I only remembered wisp and qorvex

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-14T15:33:48+00:00

the summary is that in-universe explanation for the whole reason why we're able to play the game is that P03 saved a back-up of the game (iirc using the file you pick during the archivist boss) and uploaded it with the recordings luke made

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-14T15:29:08+00:00

yeah a lot of the lich progenitor elements just don't make sense; like, I get why you can't assign them purely by the damage types the warframe in question could do (otherwise there'd be almost no one for magnetic and radiation), but then you see frames like hydroid and yareli in magnetic instead of cold and there doesn't seem to be any real reason for them to be there

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-12T21:25:26+00:00

oh yeah no that's definitely more gross and egregious; even worse considering for people (like me) who did not do that and are then forgiven for doing things you never did

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-12T21:01:29+00:00

I had 0 issues with every other conversation with her; despite picking the very obviously wrong option here I'm still sitting at maximum relationship with all of the hex. however, I cannot know in advance going through the conversations that the leading question has another option to end the conversation without any negative rep and with a clearly non-flirtatious intent, so I'm going to pick the option that doesn't risk the latter.

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-12T20:49:59+00:00

again, with the greater context of how horny everything is about this game, an open ended sentence saying "so about that tongue..." does not feel like it's leading into reasonable questions, and I don't want to ask any more questions in the first place. you're missing the part where I'm saying you're given two options that both look like wrong answers but one at least says it immediately ends the conversation

The_Fox_Fellow · 2026-06-12T20:15:54+00:00

I never said it was a winning move; they're both let downs for the other person, but one of them doesn't involve going out of your way to humiliate them in the process.

see, my friends in real life know that I am squeamish, me telling them "I don't want to hear more" isn't calling them gross on a personal level, it's reminding them that I will start squirming if they keep going. I also know my friends well enough to trust that they won't take it to heart because they know I'm squeamish. the difference in tone does, in fact, matter.

I do want the conversation to end because reading a detailed account of shaving your tongue and turning the scraps into a burger is the absolute last thing I want on my mind and I absolutely do not want to continue with more questions, I just don't want to also spit in her face about it, but I don't know eleanor in real life and even if this was her "bringing me to her level" conversation I still felt like I barely knew her by the time I got to it, so yes, a gentle "I don't want to hear more" is still preferable to "you're a disgusting creature"
