Yeah, there was something special about the communities that built up around these games…

I was always a discworld mud player… Lots of time there. But I bounced around many :⁠-⁠P

Crepuscular. Related to twilight, dimness, the golden hour.

As “three dead trolls in a baggie” famously sung… “Every OS Sucks”.

As true today as when it was first penned.

Been there too

Murray!

Technically, it was a display made from E. Coli cells, not actually programming the microbes to run it themselves…

… but yes, Doom has been used in a computer where the display was E. Coli.

“Actively Commissioning” and “Subsidizing” are two different contexts. Your points are all accurate, but commissioning a movie means actually going out and saying, “we want this movie, and will pay/provide resources to it in order for it to get done”, versus “your doing a movie with military, we’ll provide resources in compensation for a meddlers credit”.

Woah, cool. Didn’t know there was a first party portable.

The Osborne? A fantastic machine for the time…

The ICO in the UK is pretty good… I used to work on their CRM system and it was an eye opener how little, and also how big the things they investigated were.

I’m in the UK. I’ll never brag about our train system, not after Twatcher privatised them, and further back the horrific Beeching cuts.

2 albums, so start with the first one, named Brothers of Metal. Emblas Saga picks up from there.

They’re very fun Norse themed songs.

They recently toured with gloryhammer and beast in black… And I wish I’d seen it live :⁠-⁠D

Really? Come to the C# side… We have all those, and concise code too.

Have you listened to any Brothers of Metal?

Well, now you’ve called it out, I’ve got to updeet it.

I was home taught in the UK. Have a real love for learning that’s kick-started me into a career in computing that I’ve kept going for over two decades. Can’t stop, won’t stop reading, learning and improving. The number of colleagues I’ve had who just want a TL;DR on a new tech, software, plugin or system is too many. It’s our job to understand it, so we can build something so that others don’t have to. If you don’t want to understand, you’re in the wrong job role.

No, that’s fair. Coffee at pressure is about 93 - 95°C… No idea for drip/french press/v60 etc. as I don’t use those For Aeropress, I’d wait until the kettle stopped making noise, that seemed to be a good balance without burning the oils.
