Bugs / Re: Harold's Utility Bot Quest Bug

« Last post by PhrygianDominant on June 18, 2025, 10:52:06 am »

I couldn't reproduce the problem on my end. So the power went out, but the double doors are still locked? Looks like the script broke halfway for some reason, but I can't do much unless I can reproduce the problem consistently. Also, does it happen again if you redo the puzzle?

General / Make a Psionic Ability for Infusion

« Last post by Albert Altmann on June 18, 2025, 06:09:56 am »

Stealing this format because I can (also need a new procrastination outlet). The abilities may not necessarily align with the existing disciplines, as there are more ways to engage in psionics than the four formally established ones anyway ^{and not like these ideas are going anywhere beyond this thread so what’s the point restricting oneself too much}

I’ll start.

Ice Sentinel – creates an ice spire on a chosen tile. The spire obstructs passage and imposes movement penalties in a 1-tile radius (same kind of penalty as walking on oil or webs does). Taking any damage will cause the spire to shatter, launching 12 ice shards in all directions, each dealing Cold and Mechanical damage and chilling the recipient within a 3-tile radius. Heat damage will melt the spire instead.

Aphotic Shroud – cloaks the target in impenetrable gloom, imposing maximum obscurity penalty on all ranged attackers regardless of environment or equipment (renders NV goggles and any sources of illumination ineffective, basically). Additionally reduces precision of all incoming attacks by 1-5% (scales with effective skill).

Searing Edge – while the ability is active, your slashing attacks scorch the target, dealing additional Heat damage at the cost of X psi points, but cannot apply bleeding wounds. Heat damage is calculated as percentage of the Mechanical damage dealt, up to a cap (both the cap and the percentage scale with effective skill). A portion of Heat damage dealt via the ability cannot be healed for a number of turns (both the portion amount and number of turns also scale with effective skill).

Piercing Frost – while the ability is active, your piercing attacks frostbite the target, dealing additional Cold damage, chilling the target, reducing its healing effectiveness for 1-4% and increasing all Cold and Mechanical damage taken by 0-2% (stacks 5 times and scales with effective skill) at the cost of X psi points. 

Necrosis – diffuses a toxic cloud in the targeted area, afflicting the targets within with large scale cell death, periodically making them take unresisted Bio damage. Each such instance has a chance to critically hit, causing organ failure which debilitates the target, reducing all of its offensive and defensive skills to a varying degree. Bio damage scales with effective skill, while critical chance scales non-linearly with target’s missing health (100% - 70% - 40% - 10% of max health > 0% - 2% - 10% - 50% chance to critically hit). Fortitude may reduce the toxin’s damage and duration, as well as chance and severity of organ failure, but cannot fully resist the toxin’s application.

Stygian Offering – sacrifice half of your remaining lifespan to expedite Infusion’s release by an unspecified amount of time. Has no use limit nor cooldown, only that user’s death will delay the release by an unspecified amount of time instead. A wager with the reaper, eh?..

I don't think I understand what you mean by ammunition. The "power display" number at the console? I did a few quick tests but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

The protectorate has lmg, nade launcher, and minigun guys; throw some in there.  Also some dobermans would spice things up a bit too. 

Have you guys considered minigun turrets?

General / How Instagram Can Keep Gen Z Hooked in a Post-TikTok World

« Last post by callenvox on June 13, 2025, 03:38:16 am »

Instagram is evolving fast—but Gen Z is evolving even faster. This generation, born between 1997 and 2012, wants more than filters and photos. They expect a platform that reflects their values, fuels creativity, and supports self-expression in dynamic ways. As TikTok continues to shape online culture, Instagram must meet Gen Z where they are—or risk falling behind.

1. Prioritizing Real-Time, Unfiltered Content
Gen Z doesn’t resonate with content that feels overly edited or commercialized. Instead, they prefer raw, in-the-moment posts. Features like Stories, Notes, and even spam accounts (aka “finstas”) are gaining popularity for that reason—they let users drop the facade.

Instagram can capture this trend by promoting lo-fi content and emphasizing spontaneity over polish. Users want to feel like they’re part of a real-life moment, not just watching a highlight reel.

Want an account that aligns with Gen Z's vibe? Buy Instagram Accounts[https://www.z2u.cc/instagram-accounts/] that are ready to connect and show up authentically.

2. Creativity Through Video and Collaboration
Reels aren’t just fun—they’re essential. Instagram Reels allow Gen Z to share bite-sized creativity, from trending dances and lip-syncs to educational rants and aesthetic montages. They also love collab tools, where multiple creators can co-author content.

To stay competitive, Instagram needs to keep evolving its creator tools—editing flexibility, remix features, and collaborative posting all matter. Gen Z wants the freedom to create fast and engage even faster.

3. Value-Driven Engagement
This generation is hyper-aware of global issues. Whether it's supporting LGBTQ+ rights, mental health awareness, or sustainability, Gen Z wants to follow and engage with accounts that stand for something. The “values match” is more important than product placement.

Brands that show vulnerability, transparency, and a clear mission are more likely to resonate. Instagram should continue offering tools for advocacy, such as donation stickers or link-in-bio upgrades, to empower creators who are making a difference.

4. Privacy, Control, and Customization
Gen Z loves being seen—but on their terms. Features like hiding likes, muting followers, and Close Friends lists empower users to control their experience. They want to be public and private, performative and personal—all within the same app.

If you're ready to step into Gen Z’s Instagram world, now’s the time. Get an Aged Instagram Account[https://www.z2u.cc/instagram-accounts/] today and start creating content that connects.

Conclusion
For Gen Z, Instagram is more than just a social network—it’s a living, breathing part of their identity. They’re shaping how platforms operate, what content matters, and who gets attention. Instagram’s future depends on listening closely and innovating boldly.
