On this note, I wonder if there is any correlation between review scores and operating system. If there are any devs on steam lurking here willing to contribute some data, it would be interesting to have a look at.

Stop giving them ideas!

Look more at the arcana packs. You can get some insane setups. One of my favourites is doing 5 of a kind, which is kicked off by taking the spectral card that turns your hand into all one rank. There’s also scaling builds, eg I used supernova to boost high card into the roof which was fun. The best part about boosting low value hands is that it is consistent, so you don’t need to worry about rng screwing you over.

It makes it a lot harder to dm imo. It helps if you keep the table of suggested consequences for advantage/triumph or threat/despair, but even that can’t always save you!

Played the hell out of the demo. Got the full game and so far it is brilliant!

It is just how I prefer to do my computing. I tend to live on the command line and pipe programs together to get complex behavior. If you don’t like that, then my approach is not for you and that’s fine. As for your analogy, I see it more as “instead of driving down the road in a car, I like to put my own car together using prefabs”.

Option 4: levy existing tools such as gpg and git using something like pass. That way, you are keeping things simple but it requires more technical knowledge. Depending on your threat model, you may want to invest in a hardware security key such as a yubikey which works well with both gpg and ssh.

Same. I don’t use all the bells and whistles that others provide and gitea just works!

That threw me for a loop!

Not really a hot take. Why do you think most dynamic languages have the option to tack on static typing?

OpenFOAM. I needed powerful software to do CFD that was free, as in free beer, and found OpenFOAM. To run it on windows, the installation instructions first step was install linux on a vm then follow the linux installation instructions. I did that and started using the vm for other stuff until I found myself using the vm for most tasks, but kept using windows for gaming. To learn more, I got myself a pinebook, which replaced most of the usage of my vm. When windows decided to self destruct, I had learnt enough to install and configure arch with minimal help. Now, nothing can persuade me to go back.

The following is from their website:

About Us

We are a merry band of veteran game developers disillusioned by the exploitative and greedy practices we once helped create. We are experts who have worked on many of the biggest hits in Korea.

​>

We’ve seen first hand how corporate game companies sell their soul for the easy payday. We are disappointed to see them doubling down on more and more exploitative practices, becoming more like casinos instead of bringing joy to gamers.

​>

We’re fighting to win back the hearts of gamers around the world. We believe that by creating games with soul, and by respecting our users we can usher in a renaissance of awesome video games direct from Korea.

And then they do this… How hypocritical…

Borg has worked well for me. Also supports compression, encryption and deduplication.

I would have taken a deep dive into docker and containerised pretty much everything.
