@overeducatedredneck I'm thinking VoidLinux, Slackware, or SourceMage, the last because it's at least stupid.

The other option is to just give up and roll my own.

@hypolite @bagder I guess it depends on how you define "app".

I tend to believe it means "all application code" which might be archaic.

if I ask my kids for a spoon there's a 50/50 shot that they'll bring me a baby spoon and then get offended I don't want to use it

But I keep forgetting this and asking

@foolishowl there's a bunch of games - microscope, perilous wilds, dawn of words, even The Quiet Year which output collaborative worlds everyone is bought into, and then, you can worldbuild on that spine.

I recently did that where we made a world, and then we now game in it a lot

vipersgate.obscuritus.ca

we played Perilous Wilds, and then a lot of the content is "silverwizard bullshit"

@grimalkina if I understand the question right, yes i think so

16 years ago I heard a podcast called Designer Vs Reality where game designers would play their game on a podcast, as a playtest and advertisement. I heard a game called Final Hour Of A Storied Age, and I thought "this game isn't like D&D! The rules are dumb! GMless and adversity dice just being assigned to traits at a whim! What the hell, the whole game is pointless". About 5 years later I was a far different gamer, now a weirdo with all sorts of storygame ideas.

Last night we managed to dig out the last draft we could find, dansdesigns.wordpress.com/wp-c… and played through the first session.

It was great! We had hella fun rolling up star charts and defining the world. Next session we'll try to dig into the mechanics! I am really happy this person published unfinished drafts.

@nuintari I once saw heavy load on a PGSQL server, so I checked the logs. There I saw a query that I never managed to read. It was three terminal pages long.

I contacted the DBA who was like "yeah! of course it's running! I wrote it!"

I eventually had to go over their head to get the query banned. I never even managed to read it all, it was, amazing.
