Animating armor seems very scary and somewhat evil

IMO that fits paladins’ zeal. Those who oppose them should fear the wrath of their righteousness, right? Taking a look at other piece of culture: “Smite Evil” does not leave a lot of gray area on both words.

I was hoping it would behave like a hashtag when you view it via mastodon instance. AFAIK so far link aggregation fediverse doesn’t really interact with hashtags fluently. Even on *bin it is like a separate thing

The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth where dimensional rifts have torn open, bringing magic, monsters, and alien technology to the planet. This fusion of genres allows players to encounter everything from high-tech cyborgs and vampires to dragons and ancient deities. Rifts offers an unprecedented amount of flexibility for creating characters and stories. You can be anything from a power-armored soldier to a mystic who commands the forces of magic, or even a dimensional traveler with access to alien technologies.

Oooh. Can’t wait to test this out

Then how would they sell access in a deniable way?

Ah. Yeah, nuke it from orbit. Since this was RAT, so it had local execution powers and the attackers knew exactly which distro they are targetting, they could have used some security vulnerability to get root and even replace the kernel in worst case. Hopefully not microcode insertion, so hardware could be ok

But then, it wasn’t an attack on an existing package. So the question is how many people did actually download those

It was AUR. The way AUR works is that there is a PKGBUILD file that tells pacman how to compile a package from scratch. It can be created in a way where nothing gets compiled, only precompiled binary is downloaded (like from github releases). So it was not a package in purely Arch sense. With those PKGBUILDs out from AUR, malicious binaries only sit on their github, or wherever those were hosted, and are not reachable via alternative package managers (pacman, the official one, doesn’t offer AUR at all)

At first I read “Florida”. It was weird that Phoronix was covering that but still didn’t ring a bell
Real title makes much more sense

Is it me, or this month it got crazy? Not only one big non-DND title in there, a few in a few bundles

each round one second long, so on your turn you only have time to either move or act or do nothing. This does mean each turn feels really fast

I disagree. Apart from choice-paralysis (do I do nothing again or finally go now?), this approach can either be slow or fast.
If you slap into each action a bunch of modifiers, temporary modifiers, dice counting (large pools), reaction roll, detraction, comparison, etc that will in the end make that one game-second take ages in play time.

I just search for brands that explicitly say that those were sewn in my country. For sure if they are paying for EU workforce, they will make it a marketing point. I’ve had a bad experience when the brand was calling itself producer but those were not produced here

Recently I bought nice leather shoes from Ryłko but apparently they temporarily don’t send abroad

On my list I also have https://akardo.pl/12-obuwie-meskie?cena=5-692 and https://butyolivier.pl/pl/terms/informacje-o-sklepie-butyolivier-pl-19.html but haven’t tested them yet

Huh. So in this case, the file actually is respected. Refreshing

3 books come to my mind but 2 are in Polish (AFAIK only), so probably not of use for you

I liked Shadowrun: Dark Synergy From Russell Zimmerman. It’s Shadowrun but the plot doesn’t rely on magic parts of the setting, so I think it fits in general cyberpunk genre. Interesting POV and there is more to it than the description but I don’t know how to hint it without revealing too much

I expect this is going to be rather a short run instead of some long plotbook. So you probably could just take the story and wing the stats. I also don’t play OG Shadowrun
