I wonder if you could make a donation platform for artists that also provides torrents. You would have to tie up the money pending proof of identification from an artist who participated in creating the work, then release a portion to them. I’m just speculating here but it seems like something that could be made.

Maybe he doesn’t want them all dead, but he regularly abducts and dissects individuals who catch his attention. One is of specific interest, but has never been caught because the mongrelfolk are protecting it.

Make them live in terrible conditions, and look like monsters at first glance. This way your players will react to them as standard dungeons & dragons monsters, by which I mean kill them all. Afterwards, they find council chambers, crude medical facilities, nurseries, etc that imply that their society was surprisingly egalitarian and had a budding democratic government.

Give just enough of a hint beforehand so that they could have resolved things peacefully if they had been paying attention.

If harming your players emotionally is the goal.

Bonus points for art and holy texts or statues depicting the professor as a faceless, looming, menacing shadow in a white coat.

I’m mainly concerned about:

1. Not losing data if one drive dies on me.
2. Fast reads
3. Easy plug and play expansion

Since I’ll have 8 drives (or 6, if I use the smaller server, it would be nice if I could swap out one of them without losing data and add a larger one, which would then get used automatically. Is that something that RAID is good for?

I’m hesitant to set up backups because it’s going to be a lot of data.

Fucking hell.

Sweet, we need more non-English programming languages. I’m surprised that existing programming languages haven’t been translated yet.

Rust, hands down.

Thanks! My gf and I are deliberately trying to build a friend group after realizing we were basically friendless lol.

Not in the UK, but looking forward to board game night tomorrow. I have felt old for a while now.
