@SJohnRoss@chgowiz I have been trying to stay away from spoilers for Zork since I first tested in in the 1980-ies. Sometimes I take a stab at it again, but never get far.
It's generally how I attempt those kind of games, I drop it for a while when I get to a puzzle I can not crack. A year or five later I try it again, having forgotten how I got as far as I did the last time.
Kids, husband & I are going for our #karate belt testing this afternoon!
Youngest is aiming for orange belt & the other two are aiming for their blue. Husband & I are currently unranked although we have been in class for two years so... it will be nice to see how our sensei ranks us.
looking towards adapting City of Carse for my games. I've had it for ages, but when I last checked it it didn't suit my campaign's mood.
Now I think I am going to have a look at it again.
Will have to remove the Midkemia references though.
By the way, did you know that Reymond E. Feist's Riftwar novels started out with a #dnd campaign (which crossed over with #tekumel?)
@kyonshi I read a few of his books for the Tekumelian connection. I felt it gave a pretty good feel for how a Tekumel game might work. Decent enough introduction to the setting I felt.
@kyonshi you didn't know? It's been a running joke for years.
While I'm as keen as the next guy to harp on Lennart's faults, I actually don't think the linux audio system was that great before pulseaudio. It has always been something of a mess. I do have some hope for PipeWire, though.
A few years ago I have created a visual overview of (mostly) Common Lisp related books... Good thing: even the older ones can be useful, given that the core language hasn't changed that much over the last years.
Common Lisp Quick Reference is a nicely designed, comprehensive, and handy Common Lisp cheatsheet. It's available in different PDF versions for printing as a booklet or online browsing, as well as LaTeX source.
Ha. Turns out my incoherent rant about #systemd actually got a response from Lennart Poettering, which I didn't see because he's on mastodon.social.
not that it helped because he went all "that's not a systemd issue"
(sure it isn't but as I mentioned I actually solved the issue with the variables. The issue now is that the stuff still doesn't actually start because... what was it this time? It closed with an exit code? The reset counter is too high? Or something about the wrong folder?)
For some reason not all of my #Matrix conversations show up in #ElementX so I end up having two versions of #Element installed on my #Android phones which is not wonderful for battery life and data usage. Element X should have been branded as Element Beta or something along those lines.
