And then I sat there for a minute after reading your post, wondering how does that relate to Siri of Nalthis...
-
Oh man, together with Iron Feruchemy it would seriously break everything.

But usual damages to Spiritweb like Snapping or even more extreme ones like savantism leave Spiritweb intact, only damaged. Hemalurgy however rips off chunks of Spiritweb. It's a fundamental difference.

Random Stuff X: Something Weird
Oversleep replied to marsoupial's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
@Quiver, you can't worry about something else having to cover for you. You can't feel bad by spending your holidays. I understand that feeling but the most you can do is announce your time off earlier (like a week or two) and then take it. You earned it and you are entitled to it (perhaps even required to spend it; I know my dad at one point had to take a day off here and there because otherwise he wouldn't be able to burn through them all). Take it and enjoy it. -
Explanation incoming. Double Skimmer energy-Investiture perpetuum mobile: A way to create both Investiture and energy out of nothing. Have two Skimmers sit on two sides of lever. Normally they are on the same level. Then one of them dumps his weight into metalmind and the lever rises because he's lighter. Then he stops storing and the other Skimmer stores. The lever goes the other way. With both of them storing alternately you can create energy; and since both of them end up with full metalminds Investiture is also created. I used this as example of the fact that we can't always apply physics to cosmere. Why did I need that example? Because storing heat which is a byproduct of all kinds of machines and then using it to heat something else throws Second Law of thermodynamics out of the window; for example, you could have a fridge which would work by storing heat and then you could use that heat somewhere else and that's basically how Maxwell's Demon thought experiment works.

As a processor? I don't think so. But perhaps you could use zinc to speed up the actual processor. (Depends on what tapping zinc really is and how wouyld it work for non-organic entities) Tapping zinc to speed up processor would be actually quite effective. Also, storing brass would be magnificient. You could cool down all kinds of machines and end up with lots of heat for Southeners to use. Hold on... ... ... well, since double Skimmer energy-Investiture perpetuum mobile works, I guess we don't have to worry about Maxwell's Demon?

Nope. And a second nope cause I study IT. But for the third nope I'd have to get someone more knowledgeable than me to explain. It boils down to the fact it would take way too much space and be way too slow. Also, we're already using Feruchemical copper for those things, how would Pushes and Pulls even fit into all this? I wonder how tapping zinc would work for people who are partially cyborgs? (so part of their brains is cybernetical or maybe they have neuroimplants) How would tapping pewter work for somebody whose body is not organic? How would that be different from usual Steelpushing/Ironpulling? (I am not familiar with AoT - I know they use this thing to get around and that's all)

Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!
Oversleep replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
Oh, you know. The usual. Venom, radiation, toxic chemicals... at one point bad case of corrosive blood. Once I was putting up with gold circulatiing in my bloodstream. But usually it was because you can't donate blood if you were bitten by something in recent past. -

Oversleep replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
Hm. For the first time in... 10 years?... my blood is (probably) no longer contaminated. I wonder whether I can donate blood already. -
Username checks out. Simple. Wibbly wobbly timey-wimey multiverse.

What if I replaced everything in the ship, part by part? How would that look to someone observing from Shadesmar? What if I built a second ship out of the parts of the first ship?

The one about storing powers separately is posted in WoB Stack Exchange Anyway, I don't see why you cannot gain more power - Feruchemy is about how fast you tap. If you stored your allomantic power for an hour and then tapped it all in a minute you'd become dozens of time more powerful for that minute.

Nope. Check Recreance vision. Stonewards and Windrunners, both male and female.

Just for clarification: when I meant sapient ships, I thought more of AI, not actual souls being transfered into it. I'm not sure how could you spike an entire human - every spike can only steal a part of the soul. Anyway, back on the topic: I'd really like to see magic/cyberpunk Scadrial. I'm afraid Fourth Era would be just space travel and cross-overs with the rest of cosmere. But I'd want to see some cybermagicpunk.

Yeah, let's totally ignore the fact that it's obvious visions are coming from Honor and use a counter-example of an evil god. Yeah? Where did I say anything about whether Gavilar's actions are reasonable or not? (Hint: nowhere) Stop putting things I didn't say in my mouth, would you? I only said you're building a strawman by saying Gavilar's goal is to bring apocalypse just because he feels like it or that he "wants more fun things for himself". That's very clearly not the case, as bringing back Parshendi gods is just a step in his plan, whatever it may be and whatever he wants to achieve.

With Survivor's Spearhead there is no need for Hemalurgy anymore. Also, grenades run on harmonium, so I guess it's not just laying around. There would be enough of it since they're using it as fuel but probably not that common to use it just anywhere.

It's easier and cheaper done with medallions.

Spicy one: Ship of Theseus in cosmere.

Wow, Allomantic grenades have a lot of uses. I assume internal metals just give everyone around them the effect. Iron Grenade: Pulls everything metallic to it, including people having metal on them. Caution advised as those people could be hurt by bits of metal flying into them Steel Grenade: Pushes everything metallic out, so basically a regular grenade but without any lethal shrapnels. Lethal version is filled with shrapnels, so it's basically a silent regular grenade. Tin Grenade: everyone in range experiences a sudden sensory boost. Combine with flashbang and you have everyone drooling on the floor. Mostly crowd control. Zinc/Brass Grenade: affects emotions of everyone in range. If used with enough Allomantic power, you could replicate the emotional void Vin used with duraluminum enhanced Soothing or you could Riot everyone into submission. Gold Grenade: potentially traumatizing and gold is kinda expensive. Cadmium Grenade: explained above Aluminum/Chromium Grenade: to deal with potential Allomancers in the crowd

I don't see how would that work? First off, the computer would have to run on Metallic Arts. I don't see how would that work; my model only replaces the data storage, not everything. My main theory are sentient ships Compounding steel. We could also use Feruchemical cadmium for storage or even, as Marasi has implemented it, an actual temporal grenade. It would work marveously, especially since it's not harmful by itself; perfect for capturing people, especially in highly populated areas.
