Computer scientist. Among many things, I am enthusiastic about music, arcade games, and the fediverse.

Hi from another part of the Internet hosted in a basement somewhere in Northern Europe running a different piece of software :-)

Here, I am about to enter an abandoned mage tower where a crystal ball will trap me on an island in another dimension. It took me a week or two to get out.

kbin is so new that we managed to snatch the domain kbin.dk and create Denmark's first kbin instance 😁

Found its way to a kbin instance too

cronjobs with rsync to a Synology NAS and then to Synology's cloud backup.

Congrats with the veteran status 😆

I have a tendency to just use console logging, and only use debuggers when things are starting to get hairy.

Just subscribed too. The link in the post to the magazine doesn't work though?

Perhaps a time zone thing? I posted it from CET / UTC + 1

Type O Negative's Summer Breeze is originally a song by Seals and Crofts

Sounds like a good idea! I think the most effective way might be to create an issue on https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/ detailing how you'd imagine it.

You'll love it! It's like coming home to an old home, but the home is better than your nostalgia had made it be.

Behind the eternally young green bubble dragon hides a middle-aged bearded man with glasses 🤷‍♂️

A couple that comes to mind that I'd recommend anyone to give a listen.

  • The Knife - Silent Shout
  • RJD2 - Since We Last Spoke
  • General Elektrisk - Good City for Dreamers
  • Yesterdays New Quintet - Angels Without Edges

Haha, oh yes. That was chaotic.

I started playing UO in 1997 from a 28.8bps modem. We called the experience "Multilag Offline".

To become a priest you have to find a mallet and a stake and slay a bunch of vampires.

This overlap is surprisingly well and subtly done. Ruins & Riches mixes and matches lore and inspiration from a lot of places. It's very much in the spirit of the early Ultimas that also mixed sci-fi with fantasy.

My main character on the multiverset.net server is an archmage called Roselil 🙂

Just confirmed the problems by running the curl commands locally.

It really is! Haven't played this much on my computer in a very long time.

MF! Danish black metal 🤘 On of my most epic concert experiences was King Diamond (lead singer of MF) at a smallish rock club in Aarhus.

NPCs giving away their inventory for free? That sounds strange, are you sure you are not using stealing on them? There's a red ruby in the bottom of the trade window that you can drag to extend it vertically.

In general, you can learn a lot by going to Help->Library on your paperdoll. New lore books you find and read will be added to this library as well.

Absolutely! I've been enjoying it a lot too. Hosting Mastodon, Matrix, kbin, and a couple of game servers now from my basement 🙂

This book here is hinting at how to find your way to the elven world of Lodor.

AFAIK there is a thriving community around unofficial WoW servers. The official Ultima Online servers are still running. It's free to play to a certain point now, and the developers (Broadsword) are apparently working on some sort of new seasonal experience.

UO server emulators goes all the way back to the late nineties. This gives a nice overview: https://www.uox3.org/history/timeline.shtmlRuins and Riches is based off RunUO and scripted in C#.

Thanks! Are the orig links better now?

Do let me know what you think when you do!

Haha, yes. And none on the monsters will aggro on you 😅 Glad that you figures it out.

Do that 🙂

Nice idea. I know a certain "MyHouse.wad" that would qualify for that magazine
