If I had my own band, I'd name it after an already disambiguated #Wikipedia article, just to make their life harder.

Oh, you went to the Wikipedia page "Polymorphism (computer science)"? Well, do you mean "Polymorphism (computer science) (German band)" or "Polymorphism (computer science) (computer science)"?

In other words, my new band Polymorphism (computer science) is going to launch its first EP soon.

@BeAware Yeah, but without the breakout hits like Prop Hunt or TTT, Garry's Mod would have stayed in obscurity.

Even I, definitely a techy person and interested in a libre Minecraft replacement, have bounced off of it regularly because it was simply not an enjoyable *game*.

Which content packs have compatibility with which other content packs is completely intransparent. Let alone balance considerations and stuff. Who knows if I have to run this on bare-bones Minetest or Mineclone (1,2,3?)?

@BeAware I do get it. The "test" part always underscored the main issue people had with it: it didn't feel like a game, it felt like a tech demo.

@BeAware Why not play Tekkit 2 then? It's on 1.12.2 and has BuildCraft, IC2 Classic, Forestry, and none of the new nonsense. :)
