The code sure is freaking nicer to look at, at the very least.

Man, you gotta just let people feel that anger for a while so they can process and get through it. It's no use telling people not to feel their feelings.

This is a known bug currently, yeah. From Pax's pinned post on the Discord:

If the bug in the Brockerhoff split view library that crops up under Catalina affects you and your sidebar vanishes, and you cannot make it expand back out to visibility, there's a quick (but somewhat esoteric) way to fix it via Apple's preference configuration utility.

1. Quit Atlantis
2. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
3. Type defaults read net.riverdark.Atlantis | grep 'RBSplitView V' - you should see one (or more) lines that are like "RBSplitView V lemuria_main" or "RBSplitView V lemuria_window:<some number>" and each will show it as being some esoteric value.
4. Find the line from the previous step that has a negative number in it, such as "RBSplitView V lemuria_main" = "2 -17.5248 922"
5. Change the negative number to a positive one, preferably larger than 140. For instance, defaults write net.riverdark.Atlantis "RBSplitView V lemuria_main" -string "2 200 922"
6. Type defaults read net.riverdark.Atlantis | grep 'RBSplitView V' again to make sure the change took.
7. Restart Atlantis. Your sidebar should have returned!

Yay!

Mind you, I don't think jailing them is necessarily the answer, as people in jail/prison just meet other criminals and learn tricks to being better criminals.

xfnyc.riverdark.net:2045

The year is 2045. Advancing technology has given us aircars, interactive holodisplays, and medigel. There are over 200,000 mutants in New York City alone.

In the past several decades, public opinion and public policy has turned steadily against mutant-kind. The government's attempt at a mutant spy force went up in flames five years ago after a disaster that destroyed most of Staten Island. Following the death of Charles Xavier last year, the vigilantes known as the X-Men have recently agreed to disband in order to keep Xavier's School - now run by the state - an open haven for adolescent mutants. New York's mutants largely live in the ghettoized Mutant Town, the only place happy to rent to and employ mutants.

This is the world that has helped to form Revelation, the mutant terrorist group that's embraced violence beyond anything the Brotherhood ever caused.

This is the world that has forced mutants from all walks of life together to form X-Factor Solutions, a Mutant Town business that offers whatever mutant services its employees can offer. They'll find your lost car keys... or provide highly-skilled bodyguards. Or anything in between, as long as you're paying.

The world may want to reject them. But that doesn't mean it doesn't /need/ them.

X-Factor is a brand new second-generation X-Men movieverse game with a cyberpunk feel. We are a roleplay-focused game with a friendly atmosphere and a playerbase that loves to hang out and chat. We use Faraday's FS3 system for chargen and combat.

Get in on the ground floor! X-Factor Solutions opens its doors soon!

@cupcake Steven Universe is the BEST.

Really, you could kind of think of each comic book writer as an individual player with all their titles kind of competing with the other titles for which characters they can use and who they can kill off and what giant changes they can make. And the editorial team is the staff trying to keep everybody playing together in a manner that is generally collaborative and matching with the overall theme and narrative of the universe.

What should the officers have done differently? You still haven't answered that, and until you can, your arguments hold no sway over me.

How about the same thing I would expect any professional to do in any situation, determine what is actually happening before taking action.
This is doubly so when oyur action have a high probability of being uncorrectable.

That wasn't an option, excepting perhaps that the officer who took the shot did react too quickly.

How is it that you're so 100% certain that there were no other options?

@apu Oh man, that's a brilliant idea. My wife and I only stream occasionally but I think we'll still do that. Honestly, I'm more afraid of getting swatted and one of my dogs being shot than anything else. I'd be devastated if that happens.

Pretty sure that happened a couple times, didn't it?

He meant to his own dogs.

I know. What I'm saying is I'm pretty sure people have been swatted and their dogs were killed because of it.

Yeah, that's probably why he's worried about it happening to his own dogs.

I'm just going to take Marvel's events away from them for several years. HEAR THAT, MARVEL. SEVERAL YEARS. STOP HAVING CONSTANT EVENTS.

@Cobaltasaurus said in How should we (as a community) handle MediaWiki:

• The ability to decide whether the wiki is open to see or only members can see it.

It's worth mention that I think this may be able to be altered to some extent based on namespace. Or, at least, even 'locked down' members-only wikis can have a specific intro designated as 'open to public view' (which may just be the main page, I would have to double-check that one).

I strongly suggest admin-only user account creation. The one wiki I accidentally left open to letting people create accounts was flooded with spam pages almost immediately.

We've eliminated this by basically setting a question-based captcha. That way we don't have to lock user creation to admins, but we don't get spambot issues.

I'd be really interested in a test that's more geared towards MU*s. Someone make one!

@Arkandel
A-Force....what? Hadn't heard of this, so wikipedia'd it.

The series takes place following Marvel's 2015 "Secret Wars" crossover event, which finds the entire Marvel Universe, including the Avengers, disbanded. What is left is a patchwork of different environments and on one such environment called Arcadia, which Wilson describes as a "feminist paradise", a familiar threat arises that forces A-Force to come together.

Any time a guy says he's going to describe a "feminist paradise", I foresee incoming lulz.

Or, you know, it's J. Willow Wilson, writer of the new (and acclaimed) Ms. Marvel and -- a woman.

I just want to point out that, as he's talked about it on Arx, which I think is the biggest running Evennia game, @Tehom is not a professional programmer and hadn't tried coding in a number of years before the Arx team started building. So the idea that Evennia can only be handled by professional programmers is demonstrably untrue.

@stabby Original fantasy theme. The world thinks it's low fantasy, slowly discovering through plot that maybe it's high fantasy. Code-heavy if you like code toys, but you can just get out and RP with the normal tools. Very heavy on metaplot and continuity.

I got to pick out a new (reasonably priced) chair once for an old job and I found this one from Staples. I loved it so much that I bought the same chair for home use when I moved! I definitely think it's a good balance of economy and comfort. I like the mesh rather than more padded/plush chairs because it's nice when it's a bit warmer and such. I find it very comfy while also being very supportive. I was able to give away the lumbar pillow I'd had at my office before because it's got good lumbar support. And if you hate headrests (which some people do), you don't have to put it on.

Can you find someone saying that Evennia can only be handled by professional programmers? I think I know what you're referring to, but it has a look of hyperbole to it and I don't want to respond until I know.

That is, I don't think anyone said it was "for professional programmers only".

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my reply. But it was stuff like this:

@WTFE said in What is out there? Hard and soft codebases of choice.:

Now, again, if the target market is professional programmers who want a professional (where "professional" is defined as "senselessly complicated for no good reason: cf. enterprise") development environment for their pretendy-fun-time-text-game hobby, then Evennia probably hits close to a sweet spot.

If, however, the market is broader and includes hobbyists it has, IMO, fallen far short of what's needed to appeal there.

@ortallus There's a coloring tool on the web and for Windows for the full array of 256 colors, but I haven't seen an ASCII art tool beyond a few "image to ASCII" websites. Or, well, there's a paid software for Mac that I've used, but I imagine that's not what you're looking for. But if the tool you're thinking of just uses %r or whatnot, it'd work.
