Sandbox Discussions

Well, that would be hilarious, but Terraria probably wouldn't report it in a recognizable way anyway, so you can feel free to imagine that's what's going on behind the scenes.

According to some page from 2011 I found on Google, Terraria mana is an int32, not any sort of IEEE float. Probably having a dragon would set it permanently to 2³¹-1 (a bit more than 107 million stars) if it even kept it in a system the Universe could understand, which would almost certainly confuse the mana reporting.

On another topic, I find it interesting that this precognition caused the Endbringers to switch strategy.

Some combination of: the Simurgh knew they knew, the precognitions work differently in a way that advantages Yvette, the Endbringers react to advantages by escalating one way or another, and I didn't want to just repeat the other sandbox.

I have a question about that other sandbox. The answer has a large chance of being a spoiler and this is the non-spoiler thread, but after the current scene could you say whether Jack has a backup plan for if the kid activates, and if so what the plan is if it doesn’t show up in thread?

It is a bit intimidating.

does not presently have any architecture textbooks, but there's a book on art history that mostly focuses on buildings.

This bothers me a lot

Why?

[Bluelantern]

Well, I might be underestimating how cheap a Architecture major is, but it sounds like a Borgia could have one. Even if it didn't, an architecture book doesn't sound that unusual for a college bookstore.

They were sold out, not not stocking it.

He didn't. An additional parahuman isn't really a thing he'd worry about; he's as invulnerable as anyone can get. The side effect of stunning all nearby parahumans would be catastrophic for him, but if it matters he can have had Bonesaw confirm that the kid doesn't have the potential.
