I don't understand how not using a keyword to define a function causes the meaning to change depending on imports. I've never run into an issue like that before. Can you give an example?
Sorry for being off-topic, but I don't think I understand anarchism as a political philosophy. Isn't anarchism the absence of imposed rules? Communal resources seems to go against that, (it does make sense that the players get to divvy it up, though) and being cursed by the gods feels like a more theocratic thing than anarchist. Im not trying to be rude or anything, I just like to pick people's brains about this stuff.
If they had writing during the paleolithic era, and had suddenly became sentient over the course of a few decades to a century(I might be misremembering some of your other posts) I think the Theophany might not be the first instance of a guiding hand in the yinrih's evolution.
Also, if the yinrih went from paleolithic to spaceflight in the space of 5 millennia, I feel like their culture would be massively underdeveloped. Would art have developed in such a short time, or would design be purely functional? For humans, the paleolithic age started 3 million years ago, and the neolithic age (development of agriculture and the first time humans had any real free time) 11 thousand years ago. (Not to mention the earliest instruments date back to 38,000 BC.) So if the yinrih was merely 5 millennia old, and had such a focus on spaceflight, I think they would probably be in awe of human music theory.
After reading a lot of comments in this thread, I'm not sure I know what spaghetti code is. I thought spaghetti code was when the order of execution was obfuscated due to excessive jumps and GOTOs. But a lot of people are citing languages without those as examples of spaghetti code. Is this just a classic "I don't like this programming language, and I don't know much about it." Or is there something I'm missing?
You always have to package good people with secret shames so suspicious players can gauge how good or evil they are. What people feel they need to hide is a good measure of what they consider acceptable. For example, a lawful good character could be ashamed by ignoring a person asking for help, but a lawful evil character might be ashamed that they indiscriminately murdered adults & children.
I'm not sure I'd classify this comic as slightly racist, since the tonto-like character is being treated the same as the other two white sidekicks.
