Introversion habe so far pretty much only knocked out well written games afaik!

Too bad I also came too late to the party to buy the source code discs they sold at the end of its lifetime…

This might be a bad place (i.e. post, the community is correct), but looking at the void has got me interested so I wanted to ask: What are the main advantages of using runit compared to systemd? Like I don’t want to know all the differences (of which there are apparently many since people complain about systemd being too “bloated”/spread out over different systems?)

Also in all the “typical” discussion on systemd vs runit plenty of people talked about serious problems with runit and sometimes said something or other about process security? Is that substantiated in any way (as in “yeah technically during the boot process runit could be vulnerable to X if executing an unsafe script while systemd can’t do that because it does Y instead” or is it more like “yeah no, people just claim X when it’s not really possible or systemd also has the same problem, they just don’t talk about it”?)

(Hopefully this doesn’t turn into yet another thread about people bashing each other over this choice since that usually leads to no information being really trustworthy unless one wades through tons of long posts external to the thread…)

Oh but the fireworks of Ericas “broader detect magic” became so popular that she actually added back all the spark colors for all the moral edge cases!

We now have novice wizards playing around with exactly how angry they need to be and how gaudy their robes need to be to get the different signals triggered…

Or just plug it into a running campaign: A wizard was using another smaller plane of existence as this, but they have somehow become unable to close it again and the party need to venture inside to fix it so he may safely close it again!

Wait what? Are there actually elevators “programmed” this way‽ (can this behavior even be changed in the controller?)

Because I have never “tested” this behavior per se (I mean you mostly want your elevator to move anyway so you ideally remove the obstruction the first time it didn’t fully close…)

Death! What kind? Instant!

vi

(No not that newfangled vim or nvim, despite me using mostly nvim on Linux I still know that the prayer spoke about vi and emacs in harmony, as it should be!)

Wait confirm shouldn’t be on the right? Like I am 99% sure most windows pop-up/modal Dialogs had ok on the left and cancel on the right but I am not entirely sure about Linux (also factorio has them left to right as in “go back and go forward” but I dunno if that is RTL dependent…)

And yet for content I can be reasonably sure is actually human generated (read: niche enough to not have been flooded to the point I no longer can trust the “usual”/“big” sites) I might consider paying for server costs a little.

Whaat‽ You mean auto downloading and executing foreign JavaScript in a users webpage from some server/CDN I might not even know myself as an ad company could be an attack vector? Never!

(This mostly for those people who may not know that some [most? Dunno don’t have a source for this] ad networks literally allow advertisers to inject small chunks of html into pages for “more interactive/better ads”!!)

But at least you don’t need to use a stupidly long argument to start it (I know both don’t really have support but sway runs it in your face even more than normal) because you can’t quite be as choosy with laptops as you can be with desktops…

Or just tell you to configure something (or not mention that the specific config setting actually exists despite it sometimes being quite crucial) but not exactly how and you have to look through a bunch of the info boxes to find the correct link to the manual of the specific program/tool to see how the config file should look before you can continue on the wiki.

${Insert meme of qwertz ganz not having that problem here}

Now I want to know wether the rules allow you to stand perfectly inside your mirror image (don’t have a 5th ed./any other D&D ed. rulebook to check myself, sorry)… Because if it does (without going all wavy or otherwise distorting) and it casts a reflection this could be a fun “find the hidden vampire in this banquet hall with mirrors” scenario!

They are up to 4 already‽ I mean I never really kept up with a game I started at the second entry and wasn’t particularly good at at the time but still…
