When you have no source of teleportation, there is precisely two things you can do when a vault dreaming horror on ID 8 drops a solipsist maelstrom on top of your head. The first thing is jack. The second thing is shit. You can do precisely jack shit. No more, and no less.

But it's pretty darn funny when it happens when you're about five steps from the stairs and vainly trying to run for them, getting pulled back into the center of the maelstrom after every turn you try fleeing.

I don't think the Chinese are a minority in China, Novel.
 O_o;

I... kinda' gather that there are, in fact, chinese groups that are minorities in china. The native chinese are not exactly one monolithic ethnic group (and I do believe that's notably understating things, actually), from what I understand.

Ok i'm lost XD  Could you rephrase that, Novel?  'Cause I didn't understand a word of that.

There's plenty of minority groups that shit on other minority groups, Euld, even when what would benefit the others would benefit them. You see it a lot in the states with LGBT stuff, where minority ethnic groups (usually immigrants) will be quite homophobic, or LGBT folks infighting or whatever. Good example I've personally experienced was with Florida's Amendment 7 a bit back, that had heterosexual couples campaigning for it on anti-homosexual grounds, despite the fact that the amendment hit them harder than it hit the homosexuals.

Yeah, that was a fairly recent change. More specifically, any and all mind damage you deal out (at least via solip talents, dunno about other sources) won't hurt your thought-forged critters. I think if it's a projectile it can still smack into them (but deal no damage. I don't actually recall if solips have any bolt mind damage, though), but AoE stuff you don't have to worry about.

I would have been slightly less appalled if there was a simple way to disable that start shell thingy. But in the short period I tried buggering with it before giving up in disgust and just telling my grandparent the multiple-step process of getting to the desktop, I couldn't find one. Tentative web searches suggested that the only way to get rid of it was installing goddamn third party apps. That's just kinda' vile, t'me.

*hoping to go to sleep at a decent hour*
*house owners come for overnight stay*
*promptly turn on fuckoff huge TV with fuckyoutoosir loud speakers* *
*so much for goddamn sleep*
I wanted to sleep

*Even if I block out the sound, the bass is enough to make me vibrate through the walls. Less than 48 hours of cold, quiet, bliss. Now it's back to >70 and too-loud-to-sleep.**
**Eye on the prize, they're going back to other-house sometime tomorrow morning and probably not coming back before I run out of food. Week and a half, week and a half, week and a half of no fucking TV and AC set at 65F and lower.

Pretty good if you're still alive, actually. I'd imagine most folks don't survive to reach that number.

Suddenly:

Mind sear!

And they all die. But yeah Point in thought forged critters early on really helps yeek solipsists, by the way. They don't exactly need it, but a meat shield you can mind sear through makes getting off the island even more of a breeze.

In related yeek news, my yeekzerker has surpassed Amatathon in accuracy and physical power... at level 32. Doesn't hit as hard, obviously (Amat's got that delightful +80% all damage, among other things), but it's pretty darn hilarious anyway. Yeekzerkers are just kinda' beautiful, so far~

No clue what to invest my prodigy in, though. Just kinda' sitting on it, at the moment. Gonna' get some kit together and a few more levels for stats and see what else I can qualify for.
