<raptop> Okay, you can sorta do things with a KSP-like
<queqiao-> ⟨e​gg|matrix|egg⟩ DF maybe even
<SnoopJ> Surely DF is odd

<raptop> Huh, in 2E AD&D, a common character gen method is to roll 3D6 straight down for stats, then pick class, race, etc. There are stat minimums for this (and in some cases maximums). At least in the context of a human, this means that there's a ~30% chance of not being qualified for any class
<SnoopJ> relatable
<raptop> oof

<raptop> SnoopJ: ...at least it's not like 1E Traveller?
<raptop> (The game that's infamous for how you can die during character creation)
<SnoopJ> Never played any, but the rules seem funky in a way that reminds me of GURPS
<raptop> I wouldn't be surprised if GURPS was directly inspired in some fashion. Certainly there's a port of Traveller *to* GURPS
<SnoopJ> yea, it does seem like there's shared DNA. I guess it gets murky fast with that era, the world was smaller etc.
* SnoopJ squints
<SnoopJ> I may be too tired to unravel this joke
<raptop> I just interpreted it as the rats being compared to modems
<SnoopJ> ...am I having a stroke
<SnoopJ> oh wait those are the same link
<SnoopJ> did you mean to send a different one re: rats
<SnoopJ> quasi-relatedly, I bought an RP2040 with a vague notion that it would make a nice platform for that ultrasonic mic project I dreamt up like two years ago now
<raptop> er
<raptop> oops
* SnoopJ writes down "probably not a stroke"
<raptop> ^that has the rats, the other one is regex silliness
<SnoopJ> :o
<SnoopJ> 2013, whoa
