@[email protected] thank you very much.

Sounds like a good gig. I really enjoy the sense that poetry and complementary music can create between them.

 

I've not been able to do #audiomo regularly , but I want to participate where opportunity strikes. So here's a recording of my poem, What...

Andrew Morrish's RPG Kingsway (which I have on GOG but appears to currently only be available on Steam) has the most amazing interface, and it's really making me want to learn QT for gamedev purposes.

It comes with a complete desktop, which IS the game's UI, with individual windows for the map, inventory, battles that gives it a very Castle of the Windows retro 1990s vibe.

It's on sale for half price right now, if you'd like to take a look at it.

If you're interested in that other reference I dropped, here's Castle of the Winds:

(Sadly, developer Saadasoft's website, where the full version was available for free download for a long time, seems to no longer be online.)

It was going to be a sonnet, but we got a little greedy.

Are you aware of the work of the late Kirill Pokrovsky, a classically trained composer who worked extensively with Larian Studios, having previously been part of the Soviet metal scene?

@hrrrngh @froztbyte I was preeved about this, but was already starting to get sus because they've previously touched on Effective Altrusim positively (without using the term) and seem uncomfortably longtermist, which really does concern me given the figures and philosophies involved.

This is extra crap because I'd already introduce the channel to younger family members as a learning resource that I wouldn't have to fact-check to death, but apparently noooo.
