Kaito / Katie Sinclaire @KS@is.a.qute.dog

@typhlosion @noiob so it basically becomes a dominating strategy unless steps are taken to combat it

PPT2 doesn't, and if someone does it and you don't, you just lose, that's it; it's too strong to counter in any way other than itself

@noiob @typhlosion either way, for *offense* you can easily get 18+ ren if you know how to combo correctly

and most games send absolutely ridiculous amount of damage for combos that high, like, five lines of damage for a single at 15+ ren

@typhlosion @noiob i'm pretty sure guideline mandates this behavior, it's been in all tetris games for a while

@noiob @typhlosion beyond that, if you do 4-wide you can have blocks *waaaay* off the top of the screen (like, 15+ rows above the screen) and not lose because no pieces are actually intersecting

so it has an automatic advantage for defense

@zoe it gave me that kinda vibe, so :p

@zoe hmm, hacker poney?

when i see cute couples on my timeline i mash the favorite button on impulse, i can't help it—

@Elizafox it's either aggressively trying to convert everyone to The One True Language™, or shaming people for using the "wrong" language, and both bother the heck out of me

@KitRedgrave i-i'm being called out, heck

(yeah i, get these a lot)

@loke @monorail PHANTOM is an editor-exclusive verb, it was just added recently (in the past couple of weeks)

FALL is something you'll stumble across in the middle of the game, I think

baba is you has a *lot* of random objects/verbs in it, there's new stuff constantly showing up all the way through the game

@monorail I love that "BABA is FALL and PHANTOM" is an infinite loop

@monorail mastodon seems to be a huge resource hog, compared to anything else i've tried to host anyway

you could possibly tone down the number of sidekiq and/or puma workers to ease memory usage a bit

but aside from that, not sure what you could do besides downloading more ram

@unascribed bigender? i think

@BatElite the venn diagram for that is a single circle, methinks <w<

why yes, this does in fact mean that Kaito can give (and in fact, has given) people magical powers if they feel like it

your traditional sorts of magic do exist in Kaito's world

it just turns out that they're programmed in to either the world itself or objects/people within that world, nonstandard actions or series of events that have responses or effects other than the expected norm

having said that it *is* still useful to recover things thought to be lost to time, lost films and technology, etc.

it turns out the main instance of the "world" keeps backups daily at 00:00 UTC±0 so time-travelling is thus locked to one-day spans all starting at that time

time travel exists in Kaito's world but it's useless for all the things you'd probably want to use it for

you could, in theory, load a backup of the entire world into a separate instance of the world's "program" and explore it

but not only can you not guarantee that the actions that occurred in that sub-world after you started running it were identical to what happened in the "canonical" version of events

you also obviously can't make any changes that would propagate

yes, the laws of conservation of energy and mass exist in Kaito's world

yes, Kaito's quasi-shapeshifting do not respect them and, in fact, actively defy them

the laws are just a trait of how the "world" is programmed and Kaito is under no obligation to respect them when they're essentially injecting their own code/data into the system

@BatElite *nuzzles against petra*

wait what is needlessly affectionate even, is that even possible,
