"Huh? Your response makes no sense to me." - Tanath

"You should [stand](http://www.attn.com/stories...) most of the time anyway." - Tanath

"What about this? http://www.theguardian.com/science... How hard/expensive would it be to start using that?" - Tanath

"No, "atheism" doesn't _require_ a stance, but includes the position that god(s) don't exist." - Tanath

"No, it's not the only honest position, and certainty is a separate issue from belief. Many definitions of 'god' are disprovable and the only 'honest' position on those is gnostic athiesm." - Tanath

"That's the important criteria right there: fun. If you think it's more fun that way then that's how it should be. The handbook was written with artistic license and left up to discretion on how to interpret." - Tanath

"That's worse than the game I played where you can't cast invisibility on yourself, only allies 'cause that's what the description says." - Tanath

"Using it in the legitimate sense works just as well." - Tanath

"How would the existence of ones where cue files are needed contradict anything I said?" - Tanath

"Read the link. Most of the time they do nothing at all. When you convert it you should use the .cue if needed. The only reason it should matter after conversion to iso is if there's DRM that causes an issue." - Tanath

"Most .cue files are [useless](https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questio...), even for PS1." - Tanath

"Oh, you mean .cue. In my experience those files are only needed with .bin and not needed when you convert to .iso. It's the .bin files that are mounted with bin/cue." - Tanath

"If your app of choice doesn't support the weird formats you're dealing with you could convert them to iso." - Tanath

"Something something Jurassic Park? I don't follow your reference. I'm suggesting designing things using chaos theory, or using it to find avenues to pursue. There's more to chaos theory than the butterfly effect which isn't really relevant here. Maybe I'm on about nothing, or need to think on it more before I try to explain what I'm thinking." - Tanath

"Billionaire activist donates money for his cause? Clutch your pearls! What about the [Koch brothers](http://thinkprogress.org/climate...), hm?" - Tanath

"With chaos theory you learn about things like sensitivity to initial conditions. What kind of things bring order from chaos & vice versa. If energy is capacity for change it seems like understanding this and how it works would be useful." - Tanath

"If energy is basically capacity for change, then shouldn't chaos theory be helpful in finding efficient ways to store & use energy? Alternative energy sources?" - Tanath

"There's still other planets and moons where water hasn't been discovered... yet." - Tanath

"How soon before we start listing the places that don't have water instead?" - Tanath

"Fixed: [Spoiler](#s "Contessa's power (but no other powers), any power that strikes their core (because they're made of space-warping superpower stuff), Scion (because he literally is superpowers and gave most capes theirs by giving them part of himself), and prevented specific kinds of powers, mostly secondary ones, from detecting anything within a radius, which makes him basically a toned-down Hatchet Face.")." - Tanath

"Not FTL travel though." - Tanath

"That's another handy 'autoloading'. If you wait after adding a magnet link it'll load the contents so you can choose which files you want." - Tanath

"Avoid outdated software, especially where the internet is concerned." - Tanath

"This would be easy enough on Linux with fdupes and avfs which gives a single mount point through which you can operate in any supported archives, but there doesn't appear to be a similar solution for Windows. You could boot to a Linux live disc (or dual boot) to use them though." - Tanath

"There's guidelines for converting monsters and stuff to DW, maps need no conversion, and figures can still be useful. Monster conversion is really easy (see appendix 3, adventure conversion). There are also guidelines for making your own moves (chapter 19, advanced delving). Think of success as player makes a move, partial as you both make a move, and failure as you make a move. If you know the moves you want to make already on a partial or fail you can put them in a list for the player to choose from and make it a move." - Tanath

"I imagine there's no chance of it not being public knowledge anyway, and she'd have had a hard time trying to inform them all personally. This way she could influence the response too (house points). It's also normal for wizarding Britain to be callous, letting children suffer and nearly die with barely a comment. Just patch them up." - Tanath

"Ooh, [Bayes](http://betterexplained.com/article...)! Thanks for this." - Tanath

"D&D 3.5. We have a ship and a lead on the most massive lost pirate treasure ever - over 300k gold. We find it, but it's basically in a cave, through an underwater tunnel with other dangers. Oh, and it's cursed & guarded by an old ghost. We had a hard enough time getting in there let alone trying to get the treasure out. We weren't meant to. Just what we could carry. Being a cleric it was just within my means to offer it resurrection to go after revenge instead of being bound to the gold. One problem down. Next up? How do we retrieve ALL the gold? Summoner summons vrock and has it teleport back and forth moving all the gold to the ship. We proceeded to set up shop on an island and take over the seas. I don't think summoned vrocks were meant to be used that way. :D" - Tanath
