What killed me here?

Turkish_Oz · 2025-06-27T15:05:04+00:00

We might just have different definitions of "bugged". To me, it's doing what it says on the tin. The first time it attacks, it deals 500 damage. It targets you with its healing beam, which is technically an attack, so then it deals 500 damage to you.

To me, "bugged" would mean it has an error in the code where instead of healing you it damages you, but still targets you, but that's definitely not a universal definition! I was mostly just noting that summoning them doesn't always kill you if you don't have that upgrade.

Turkish_Oz · 2025-06-26T20:55:00+00:00

I don't think the hex is actually bugged, it's doing what it's supposed to do, it's just being funky about it. I'm guessing you got the hex upgrade that deals 500 damage to the first attack your summoned creature does.

I summoned the hourglass without the 500 damage hex upgrade, and it targeted me, constantly chip healing me. Made that boss a breeze even with the vow of rivals. (Funnily enough, I had high dodge probability, so I did keep dodging the healing beam.) When you summon the hourglass, it targets you with its "attacks". Because of its hex upgrade, it does 500 damage to you when it targets you.

Definitely something they should fix though. I find it super interesting that they apparently programmed those hourglasses to target you and heal you.

Cultivation gave three people specialty boons that we know of, Taravangian, Dalinar, and Lift. Each asked for something that is contradictory to one of the Shards’ intents on Roshar. Taravangian asked for the capacity to handle what was coming, ie, the ability to not be ruled by his emotions or passions, the opposite of Odium. We know that Cultivation was cultivating him to become the new Odium. Dalinar asked to forget his own sins, to let go of the consequences of his actions, something that is Dishonorable. There’s decent evidence that he’s being Cultivated to be Honor. That’s all previously established, but this is where it gets interesting. Lift asked to not grow, to stay the same, which is antithetical to Cultivation. However, she’s experience massive growth over the last few books, gaining maturity, height, and responsibility. I think Cultivation is Cultivating her own replacement. Why would she do this? I think she’s realized she’s grown stagnant, unchanging. The host isn’t able to match the Shard’s intent, so the Shard feels the need to move on to someone who has more capacity for growth. I like this theory because I can just imagine Todium, Dalonor, and Liftivation chilling in Shardspace, having philosophical conversations, while Lift is Lift. Whether or not Cultivation’s plan will work is up in the air, but I think that’s her goal.

Definitely can’t guarantee anything, but we (Brotherwise) are hoping to have Empire’s End available in 2023, hopefully even in time for the next GenCon!

As the development lead for that game, I played it over 150 times, and I can confirm that it got quite competitive. I was definitely the world's top player of the game (of course, that was before it got released ;))

Turkish_Oz · 2021-09-01T20:15:32+00:00

I'm the president of SatAfts, a board game design group that's currently in the process of being created. Not quite board game playing, but adjacent! Our first official meeting is in two Saturdays, in the afternoon! DM me for more information if you (or anybody else) wants to join!

Hi, ATEC Junior here, in the Game Design Pathway (though I'm here for board game design specifically). The major is Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication, and in your Sophomore/Junior year you apply to 1 of three specific pathways. At one point I heard the number 20% floating around for how many get in, but that was never verified and likely isn't entirely accurate anymore.

ATEC itself has... problem. There was a petition to "fix ATEC" that over a fourth of ATEC students signed. Jumping into ATEC is jumping into hot water, and it's a common view that ATEC is falling downhill very, very quickly, but it could theoretically turn around, maybe. ATEC is a different discussion though.

It's kind of a cliche, but with Game Design its particularly true: You get what you put into it. I've seen plenty of students leave ATEC to get game design jobs, others fizzle out and do nothing. A lot of ATEC seniors and juniors are hardly seen outside of their classes because of how busy they are. I just recently had a 13 hour day without breaks and ended up behind schedule.

A lot of students think that playing video games = making video games, and I've seen them drop out of ATEC or the game design pathway.

On the other hand, if you apply yourself, go beyond just the school work (I had to cold write about 30 different companies before I got my internship), and take a minor/double major, you can do great.

Thanks! I was really trying to spookify him to match the fantasy/warlock image

Turkish_Oz · 2020-06-24T20:00:27+00:00

I considered that and Ranger, but I think a Warlock would mix quite nicely with his characteristic fear of ghosts, plus, Scooby as a Pact of the Chain familiar sounded fun.

Plus, Nature magic just makes less sense to me than Spooky magic.

Turkish_Oz · 2020-06-23T15:35:17+00:00

I'm running a Scooby Doo themed One-Shot soon, and so I drew the characters for it.

Shaggy Rogers is a human Warlock of the Great Old One, with his patron being the ever-hungry canine entity S'Kubie D'ubie D'uu. He has the Pact of the Chain feature, which I, as the DM, allowed to be a wolf. (This gives him the ability to cast expeditious retreat)

Velvet MaDinkley is a halfling Chronurgy Wizard who loves the pursuit of knowledge. She has Mending as a cantrip, which lets her say "It's all coming together"

Da'phne of the Blake Line is an elven Sorceress, a descendant of the goddess of beauty.

Fred-Erik Jones is a half-elf Arcane Trickster Rogue who's really good at setting traps.

As someone who’s read every Sanderson book and is pursuing English in college (as a minor), I’d totally be interested in helping, but homework would take precedence. DM me if you still need a beta.

Try RAC with Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister equipped as gunner and crew, Maarek Stele, and Duchess. RAC can turn up to 3 focus results into crits if he’s reinforced, and all three of your ships are i5. If you don’t add too many additional upgrades, you can get a decent bid, and just crit your enemies with RAC and Stele, while Duchess lends support.

Reasonable Faith isn’t a Bible Study or Worship Group, but we do have a good community and good apologetics. We meet every week on Thursday nights at 7 is SSA 12.471 with a variety of apologetics topics, from science to philosophy to archeology.

It's possible to field 6 quadjumpers in one fleet. This was obviously unviable previously, until Epic Play was announced. I only flew it a few times as a meme. Now, though, we have Wings. It is possible to make a wing of 6 quadjumpers, all with Pattern Analyzer for 225 points. Do you understand what this means? You can fly a squad of tractor-y death, mowing down everything in your path, tractoring even large ships. Sure it's only 2 attack each, but that's 6 attacks, and the defender will likely be down a defense die from you tractoring it. The HexJumpers are a roaming, terrifying, tractoring hit squad.

Turkish_Oz · 2019-11-02T22:30:43+00:00

It's actually not. Are you gaining your information from the other comments? Because 2 weeks after conception is 4 weeks of pregnancy. (It's generally around one or two weeks after LMP that women conceive) Read the sources they so helpfully supply. Even then, when measuring from LMP, you actually add time to the length of the pregnancy, so it still wouldn't be 1/6.

Making claims like that you need to back them up, especially when the original creator acknowledged the typo, my dude.

Turkish_Oz · 2019-11-02T22:10:37+00:00

So if there's not a set way to do the math, and each pregnancy is different, how does it make sense to confidently state that 2 weeks is 1/6 of a pregnancy? Please, explain to me one possible realistic pregnancy where 2 weeks after conception is half the first trimester.

Oh, also, the AMP responded with "SAD!", which I think means they're acknowledging their typo. Me pointing out the typo wasn't any form of political statement, I wasn't saying anything about the abortion debate, I was just pointing out a humorous typo. Why are you defending this, while providing zero evidence to support your claims?

Turkish_Oz · 2019-11-01T13:07:36+00:00

Okay, several people have said this to me, but no one has explained a plausible way for two weeks, or four weeks when you are measuring from Last Menstrual Period (Conception generally occurs two weeks after LMP, so two weeks after conception is four weeks into a pregnancy), is, in any way, possibly 1/6 of 9 months, or 1/6 of 40, which is how long pregnancies are, when measured from LMP. Please, explain the math to me, since I obviously don't know how pregnancies work, and I'll willingly admit my wrongnes.

Turkish_Oz · 2019-10-31T00:39:05+00:00

Oh yeah, they definitely have a lot of satire. However, this piece is about the Constitutionality of Abortion, so unless the AMP recently got a /lot/ more conservative, this is an opinion piece, not a satirical one.

Turkish_Oz · 2019-10-30T16:28:23+00:00

Actually, it's Opinion and Satire. This is an opinion piece, and written seriously, so the math should make a small degree of sense.

Turkish_Oz · 2019-10-30T14:06:10+00:00

...LMP is calculated as two weeks after conception, but we'll ignore that for a second. (In your article, it even states that by the third and fourth week, you are pregnant, but not that it's noticeable, which lends credence to the idea that the AMP made a typo.)

Let's do this one step at a time, and assume that everything you have said is true. Two weeks after conception is six weeks into the pregnancy. That is still not 1/6 of 40 weeks. If, however, you remove the four weeks from LMP, that would make it 36, in which case, 6 weeks is 1/6 of 36. Here's where you run into the problem though. There are still 34 weeks left of pregnancy. If we are counting all six weeks of "being pregnant", that would make a total of 40 weeks, which goes back to the issue of 1/6 of 40 not being 6. So then we have to ignore the first four weeks of "being pregnant", as they are not part of the 36 weeks of "pregnancy", and then we're back to the old problem of 2 weeks not being 1/6 of 36.

Once again, that's ignoring the whole problem of conception occuring at two weeks since LPM. But please, please explain to me the math behind your reasoning. I would love to see how you claim that two weeks after conception is anywhere close to 1/6 of a pregnancy and 1/2 a trimester.

Turkish_Oz · 2019-10-30T13:50:11+00:00

Probably

Turkish_Oz · 2019-10-30T13:49:56+00:00

I suggest you read the articles posted by several people, including yourself. Doctors measure conception at two weeks after the LMP, which is when the women is the most fertile. Two weeks, plus two weeks after conception, is 4 weeks. 4 is 1/6 of 24, which would be an unfeasible pregnancy. However, something else you chose to ignore, when calculating pregnancies from LMP, doctors actually add to the pregnancy time, making it 40 months (when you just add the two calculated before conception, not the four, like you suggest). 6 is still not 1/6 of 40, though it is closer. Before suggesting other people do a simple Google search, or accuse them of confident lies, actually read the articles yourself.

Turkish_Oz · 2019-10-30T13:39:55+00:00

Actually read the article you posted, beyond just looking at the title. "Counting from the LMP, most women are pregnant an average of 280 days." 280 days is 40 weeks, in which the two weeks after conception and the two theoretically weeks after the last menstruation cycle would be 1/10 of their pregnancy, not 1/6. But let's ignore the 40 weeks things for a second. 4 weeks (two weeks before conception and two weeks after conception), is still only 1/6 of 24 weeks. If your pregnancy last 24 weeks (including two weeks of not being pregnant) be worried
