I'm guessing they just take the correct prefix (the first 3 letters of the correct month) and append "tember", no matter the month.

it was almost guaranteed we would get a sequel but it’s still nice to have an official confirmation now!

I'm just relieved to see マッドハウス (madhouse) on there. I was mildly worried they'd give it the OPM treatment.

Don't wanna be pedantic (yes I do) but after a little bit of searching, the originally presented quote seems correct (without the "and" though, it seems). Your version is mixed with a common misquote "Slowly at first, then all at once." of that quote.

Also not it :(

Sadly not, but the aesthetics are at least close to what I remember.

I wish. It's definitely a lot more niche than Valheim. It could be more of a Valheim/Terraria/etc like than a "real" MMO though.

 

About half a year ago (time is fleeting so I'm not sure how accurate that estimate is) my friend showed me the trailer to an upcoming MMO.

I don't remember a lot. What I do remember is that the art-style, including characters, looked similar to Minecraft/Hytale, but less blocky on the world side, characters did look blocky though, I believe.

I remember a scene where about 30 player characters invaded a small fortification with wooden palisade walls. At least one of the player characters had a staff or wand that would allow them to use fire magic.

I believe the game was advertised as one of those "you can build outposts anywhere" kind of games (the ones that never work out) where that group of 30 players raided one of those outposts.

I'm not sure what stage the game was at, but I believe it was a kickstarter campaign/looking for funding.

Even without discard value. Just the threat of throwing a surplus land to turn it into a 4/4 at instant speed lategame can strongly influence a game.

Sure. You have to solve it from inside out:

  • not()....See comment below for this one, I was tricked ~~is a base function that negates what's inside (turning True to False and vice versa) giving it no parameter returns "True" (because no parameter counts as False)~~
  • str(x) turns x into a string, in this case it turns the boolean True into the text string 'True'
  • min(x) returns the minimal element of an iterable. In this case the character 'T' because capital letters come before non-capital letters, otherwise it would return 'e' (I'm not entirely sure if it uses unicode, ascii or something else to compare characters, but usually capitals have a lower value than non-capitals and otherwise in alphabetical order ascending)
  • ord(x) returns the unicode number of x, in this case turning 'T' into the integer 84
  • range(x) creates an iterable from 0 to x (non-inclusive), in this case you can think of it as the list [0, 1, 2, ....82, 83] (it's technically an object of type range but details...)
  • sum(x) sums up all elements of a list, summing all numbers between 0 and 84 (non-inclusive) is 3486
  • chr(x) is the inverse of ord(x) and returns the character at position x, which, you guessed it, is 'ඞ' at position 3486.

The huge coincidental part is that ඞ lies at a position that can be reached by a cumulative sum of integers between 0 and a given integer. From there on it's only a question of finding a way to feed that integer into chr(sum(range(x)))

Those are typcially the ones without any prefix

With the notable exception of the kg...for some inexplicable reason.

If you wanna see a language model (almost) exclusively trained on 4chan, here you go.

Presumably. Wouldn't take much to fake that though.
