Chemistry Games:
I've run into a good many online games in regards to chemistry, have you-all found any good ones? I like the 2048 derivatives:

http://jamesdonnelly.github.io/Isotopic256/
Combining Isotopes, some decay. Mostly correct.
http://2048alphabet.com/chemistry/
Not really correct, but fun.

I had found one for star fusion, but I can't find it now.

Brain&Force - 26-5-2014 at 12:32

I got the Ne tile on the first trial. The fusion game is awesome!

http://www.geek.com/games/fe26-is-a-2048-style-puzzle-game-a... This is the game you want. The magnesium dead ends are annoying!

Play meth online!

The Volatile Chemist - 26-5-2014 at 13:38

Don't have permission for that forum section. If it's whimsey, I don't want it either. But sounds like an...interesting...game.
Fe[26] is mostly accurate (that's the one I was talking about!), I like it a lot.

The Volatile Chemist, just ask Polverone or woelen for access. You only need ~50 posts to get in.

But I don't want in. Maybe I will if I have a non-chemistry related science question to ask the members someday, but I don't need to be chatting about random things online, too much of a time waste (I guess I'm just not too social).

you are satan for linking clicking bad, zyklon......

Haha, that's pretty funny considering you now post there a lot! It's just too much fun, isn't it?

Zyklon-A - 9-6-2014 at 16:56

Yeah, wayyy too much.
33 posts today?

You guys don't understand :) This place is my social let-off. I used to go for months not talking to any girls at my school, and talking to 5 different people a day. I wish I were more social in life, but I have like 3 friends, who all have friends they hang out with more than me. Thats why I'm so quirky here, I'm not used to ppeople, and have a hard time knowing how they feel about me...

Texium - 9-6-2014 at 19:02

You're not alone with that feeling.
And while I do have a decent amount of friends, I'm not exactly satisfied with all of them. Most of my friendships nowadays are quite shallow and exist primarily at school only. This forum essentially remains the only outlet for my primary interests. Most of my friends are not interested in hearing about element collecting, investigating the chemical makeup of common substances, or even stuff that seems cool, like the preparation of fluorescent compounds. Really anything chemistry related, other than explosives, is dull to them… as is to be expected.

The Volatile Chemist - 9-6-2014 at 19:08

Same about my few friiendships. While we hang out every few months, play Catan, they all have other friends they're with more, who share interests.
Girls? What girls? I haaven't talked to any except at church. I'm kind of tall for 14, 6ft 1in, and am kind of odd in my ways, I wonder if I'm scary or just weird...

You hit the nail on the head here.

And I'm quite extraverted, which makes everything worse for me.

elementcollector1 - 9-6-2014 at 21:37

Ehehe. Same here - no romantic partners to speak of. As for friends, my best bro recognizes how much this means to me and does put up with my sciencey tangents, which is all I could ask for. Most of my real 'friendships' are extremely long-lasting friends - some back from elementary school!
All that aside, I am extremely introverted - where most people seem to have tens or even hundreds of 'friends', I think I only have 4 or 5 real ones.

bismuthate - 10-6-2014 at 02:48

elementcollector, that's one of the traits of INTJs, (I saw you got that on the test) having few, but close, friends. I'm in the same situation you described. I've actually met (very few) people who like science.
One of the best parts of sciencemadness is that it's a community. Here we respect each other and can be civilized and joke around (usualy)

Fantasma4500 - 10-6-2014 at 07:26

i often wonder what people do, like really DO.. i game alot myself, but people who doesnt game or do chemistry or similar, i cant figure it out at all
usually when i happen to have made the poor decision to go to a party with music i dont like, to meet people i have nothing in common with i always hate myself for not having stayed at home to do whatever.. chemical chameleon, live among smoke and chemical vapours, look at crystals or just DO something instead of lying to myself about sitting at a party waiting for something to happen is being active
guessing i might have ADD in a weak degree doesnt make it better that what is common to do is to sit and wait for things to happen

Zyklon-A - 10-6-2014 at 08:07

Well, I guess that's sorta true for me too. I have plenty of friends, but I haven't really hung out with many of them in a while. Not many are interested in science, but most are pretty smart.

The secret is, You have to make something happen, be the center of attention. As long as you don't even know anyone there, who cares if you look dumb at first. Do something wild, and talk to as many people as you can. It's as simple as that.
This is a good site.
Of course unless you don't want to be getting a lot of attention - which is the case for some.

Fantasma4500 - 25-6-2014 at 10:31

i dont like attention.. nightmare scenario is to walk on a gravel road
i mean.. the kind of people i meet oftenly doesnt even have decent sense of humour, and if they do then its often so crippled it reminds me more of a 90 year old man saying ''cool'' -- cringeworthy, painful

i once at some smaller gathering overheard a few guys talking about purifying ethanol from anti freeze liquid for cars
they were actually on both sides of me, explained them how it could be done easily and then they just went back to their idea which i just explained why would take alot of effort compared to what i suggested, and these people were not high, not drugged up on amphetamine, heroine -- alcohol.. you name it
nothing
it just seems of what i recall that people who are usually affected by such substances only think about overdramatizing sorroundings and situations, perhaps im the only that can see its overdramatized

its just a weird goal to set.. to get drunk and be with people you have only alcohol or narcotics in common with, especially if you dont like to drink etc

Eddygp - 30-6-2014 at 08:49

Some of those are interesting.

OPEN NOTE TO ALL YOU YOUNG FELLAS


Been there, done that with these feelings. At 17 I had a NEEDLE FULL OF METH stuck in my JUGULAR vein. Killed ALL the emotional pain. True story. 33 years later, after multiple prison terms, failed marriage, blah blah blah, I am VERY fortunate to have had the body chemistry to come through the other side with (most of) my brains intact.

DON'T BE ME

You "kids" are gonna be the ones that actually change the world; give yourselves a break. I am constantly amazed when I realize that a good, cogent post was made by someone that turns out to not be old enough to have a drivers license!!

I've always wanted to go to Stockholm--remember me when one of ya wins a Nobel.

Wow...... Particle clicker..... I saw this.... and thirty minutes later...
Totally an awesome game! :)

Hey, stop playing particle clicker and come edit the wiki with me! ;)

subsecret - 10-8-2014 at 20:11

I checked out particle clicker for a second. It's pretty awesome.

Does anyone else hate the fashion industry/celebrities/models, etc? I've always viewed this from a very practical standpoint, and for a teenager who would wear gray shirts and pants every day if he could, it really bothers me that this industry exists in the way that it does.

Yes, gray is good. I am wearing all gray right now, and tend to do that quite often. :)

elementcollector1 - 10-8-2014 at 21:59

I believe color combination, aesthetic appeal, and other such things hold a valid place in the clothing industry. Brand image / logo marketing, corporate competition, etc., do not.

So sorry! Definitely could have used my evening better. I'll do some editing now.

perhaps you just dont like to be a consumer
its said that we educate ourselves so we can get more money to buy more things we dont need to impress more people that we dont like etc etc
an irrational circle, of consumerism and fake identity

i know that entire SM will throw shit at me for disregarding 'education' but as i see it, the 'education' i have been through has not been 'education' but rather conditioning to obeying orders, following them and repeating what an entity higher up in the hierachy has been 'educated' to tell me, and which i then has to accept as fact or whatever
'schooling' rather than education
