       | something?
       | 
       | Wish there was a proper About -- is it that all the combos are

       | Neat. I made a Telegram bot so that all users get access to these
       | emojis: @emojimixingbot It works only in inline mode
        
         | AnonC wrote:
         | Edit: Never mind, I figured out that inline mode means invoking
         | the bot in any chat by typing @emojimixingbot and then typing
         | two emojis. The mixed emoji then appears as a sticker that can
         | be sent. The bot does not respond to emojis sent to it directly
         | (in the chat with the bot).
         | 
         | Previous question (now irrelevant with my answer above): What's
         | inline mode, and how exactly would one use this bot?

           | Good question. Telegram's infrastructure and dev ecosystem is
           | vaguely weird, much like its overall technical design.
           | 
           | Originally the bot framework was HTTP-based, in the literal
           | sense that new message <-> new HTTP GET, and you'd have a
           | webserver somewhere printing out a response to send back.
           | (You can either use incoming webhooks or (yay
           | latency+efficiency) periodically poll Telegram for messages
           | since a given time).
           | 
           | Telegram later released the internal C++ shim/proxy that
           | relayed MTProto (Telegram's protocol) to HTTP requests, so
           | you can now colocate both processes on the one machine for
           | better latency, although many implementations still use the
           | old webhook method.
           | 
           | Later-later, Telegram also released a C++ library
           | applications can use to abstract out the process of dealing
           | with MTProto.
           | 
           | Nowadays, MTProto is well-documented enough that there are
           | independent client implementations of the protocol (that
           | support signing in as users and bots), which incidentally are
           | slightly more flexible than the C++ library or bot shim
           | (mostly because Telegram has specific needs and wasn't
           | initially aiming for a general-purpose consumable at design
           | time).
           | 
           | The record-scratch part is that the two leading independent
           | clients are incidentally written in PHP. Yeah. I don't mind
           | PHP myself, but it was definitely an "oh. okay" moment lol.
           | Like I said, Telegram's infra is _interesting_.
           | 
           | So there's exceedingly-likely a Node helper library you can
           | use (although you obviously don't fundamentally need one) to
           | build bots in JS if you want; the next level after that would
           | be coordinating with the C++ or PHP libraries, and the boss
           | level :P would be connecting to MTProto directly (which isn't
           | the end of the world, just... an "overloaded motor" number of
           | moving parts to take on all at once for what's realistically
           | likely a hobby-level curiosity).

       | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_64:_The_Crystal_Shards#G... :
       | 
       | > Kirby 64 introduces Power Combos, the option to combine Kirby's
       | copy abilities. Power Combos can be created by inhaling two
       | enemies at once, by throwing one ability at another, or by
       | spitting an enemy at another. The latter two methods create a
       | colored star that can be collected to obtain the Power Combo.
       | There are 28 possible combinations, which are stronger than
       | normal copy abilities or have added effects. For instance, by
       | combining the "Burn" and "Needle" abilities, Kirby can shoot fire
       | arrows. Players can also mix two of the same abilities, which
       | will increase their power.
