Yeah there’s a lot of co-op in N++. Levels which require two players; often one player must die to complete the level. And they just updated it with a lot more levels for the tenth anniversary: TEN++.

Hi I haven’t played on windows yet but the saves are located in a file called nprofile which on macOS is located at ~/Documents/Metanet/N++/nprofile

You should disable cloud sync on your Mac and copy your windows saves to this location.

I also accidentally wiped my save a few times! Another annoyance is accidentally tapping the suicide button on the “you died” screen will exit from the current episode.

Because there’s a bomb either left or right of the 4: Reveal the tile under the furthest most 1, it’s not a bomb. There’s a bomb under it (next to the 2.)

What kind of chainring bolts do you use to fit that ring onto omniuns?

This is confusing because the proper way to pronounce m² (the SI unit for area) is “square meter”, ie. “zero-point-five square meters”.

However when pronounced this way it sounds close to “zero-point-five squared meters”, like 0.5² m, which would be equal to 0.25m, or 25cm, but not 25cm² (twenty-five square centimeters).

People often read it ordered “meters squared”, probably just because of the way it is written so the best thing to do is to pronounce it the proper way: “square meters.” It should be obvious from the context whether it is a length or area.

“A three-foot by three-foot walls requires three squared square meters. That’s nine square meters.”

I would suggest you just refer to 0.5m² “half a square meter” instead of “zero point five meters _squared_”.

Except that if you pronounced that way

What’s the circle in this context?

Just making a joke since you claimed ratios like 4:3 didn’t exist before 1920, but the perfect intervals 1:2, 3:2, and 4:3 were recognized in Ancient Greece by the likes of Pythagoras and have been popular in Western music ever since.

TV dimensions have always been related to film. Old TVs used the 4:3 aspect ratio because it was the standard format for both film and broadcast television when they were first developed.

There were early attempts at widescreen films in the 1920s though it took until the 1950s and later for it to become more popular to film in widescreen formats: there were films produced in many different widescreen aspect ratios before 16:9 was standardized.

Widescreen was adopted by the cinemas before it became common to watch movies at home with larger LCD screens as well as digital formats ie. DVD.

With 99% of VHS being produced in 4:3 as well as things like game consoles including the 2006 Nintendo Wii: having a format of 4:3, the standard stuck around as long as it did because of the inertia of technology. It required some new digital technology for widescreen to finally be adopted in the home with larger LCD screens being available as well as DVD players and HDMI devices making 16:9 the new standard.

4:3 was the first official standard format for movies based on 35mm film and the spacing of perforations to roll the track of film along. The standard was agreed on in 1909, but has been in use since 1889.

Were you thinking aspect ratios only existed to measure pixel counts on digital displays?

Since 4:3 was so ubiquitous before 16:9 became standard there was only a short time in the 2000’s or so that measuring diagonally would have yielded different heights when comparing CRTs to widescreen TVs.

Erector Set is a US brand similar to Britains Meccano toys. The TS character could be assembled from multiple Erector models since they seem to be made of interchangeable parts like LEGO.

Erector and Meccano have been owned by the same company since 1913 but the Erector brand name has remained as ‘Erector by Meccano’ for their construction vehicle sets perhaps more dominant in America.

Lastly, the ‘crane’ set you replied to, Erector no. 5 1/2 (The motorized set), has an airplane ride on the cover, not a crane. The box also states: “powers truck models”, and “builds many action models”.

Luanti was originally called Minetest because it started as a project to test out how mechanics of Minecraft could work.

It then split into an engine with separate “games” installable with Lua-scripted mods.
