Going back to Konversation for GUI stuffs. DCC file send/receive is kinda important to me. For everything else, including a lot of Matrix usage, WeeChat is still the Kewlist :p
Honorable mention goes to Halloy, which I think looks really good, supports tiling, and says it supports DCC Send - I don't mind manipulating config files by hand, and I might check it out with a FlatPak, but if I'm sufficiently impressed it looks like I'll have to build the .deb and SlackBuild myself, ... Well? Somebody's got to! Right?
Oh, DCC. Who knew that "cardborad" was not an actual word? Not the people making our recycling bins, obviously.
The ODT story veers off into a discussion on American vs British English which has nothing to do with the issue at hand. It's just a stupid misspelling because someone screwed up and nobody bothered to check.
If I end up with one of these bins, I'll correct the spelling with gaffer tape to avoid going crazy every time I see it.
#Introduction: Hello, I am #new here! I was on #Diaspora for quite a few years but it was a very small community. Mastodon seems larger and more dynamic.
I'm mainly here to chat about #RPG games. I have been playing #DnD since the #1980s, starting with Moldvay #Basic and Keep on the Borderlands. These days I am mostly playing #DCC, but also enjoy Call of #Cthulhu, Traveller and #OSR games.
Besides #RPGs, I like British comics, especially #2000AD and its spin-offs. And #cycling.
This #BandcampFriday use the word "wasteland" to get 25% off any purchase at https://lootthebody.bandcamp.com. And while you're there check out Shadows on the Wasteland, my new song for #DCC Purple Planet.
Ok… das sollte ein Zwischenboss sein. Der SL ist gerade nicht so happy dass wir den ohne Gegenwehr weg geprügelt haben und dann an die Säureegel verfüttert…
@kyonshi#VancianMagic is probably the element I like least about #dnd games. Yes, I get it: spell slots reinforce a resource-focused style of play. You run out of spell slots as you run out of torches, ammo, and hit points, but for me Vancian casting always represented a tool-like, somehow dull approach to sorcery. I prefer, how magic systems are re-envisioned in some modern #osr (adjacent) games: #DCC (😍) #Shadowdark#FiveTorchesDeep#TheBlackSwordHack …to name but a few
Unter anderem Dank @thopan konnten wir heute mal ein „Gauntlet“ Abenteuer für #ShadowdarkRPG ausprobieren: das Modul #CryOfTheStingbat von Brandish Gilhelm (Runehammer Games). Gauntlets sind Trichter-Abenteuer, wie man sie von #DCC kennt: eine größere Anzahl von Figuren der Stufe 0 wird in einen tödlichen Dungeon geworfen, nicht alle schaffen es raus und die Überlebenden werden dann zu Stufe 1-Figuren. Mein Star des Abend: die Ratfolk Erfinderin Bimh
just preordered the #DCC audio drama from the Soundbooth Theater site. The first episode's available for free and the rest will be coming out over the next few months ending in early 2024. Individual episodes are $3.99 each.
Last year I was invited to present a talk at a conference called #MicrosoftDCC and spoke about a particularly vicious #botnet#malware called #qakbot.
My colleague Steeve and I had cracked the methodology for decoding their command-and-control functionality. We published our work in a blog post and presented it at #VirusBulletin, #RMISC, and #DCC.
Today, the #FBI announced that in an international operation with France, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Latvia, and the United Kingdom they have shut down the botnet.
