I'm actually on Manjaro, but ( AUR ) probably wouldn't have been as easy to recognize, and ( Flatpak Repository ) or ( AppImage Install ) seemed like a lot.

A few assumptions:

  • There will be some sort of PC available, with a keyboard and mouse and speakers, and basic programs to play audio/video, read text/PDF documents, etc. that don't count toward my 1GB limit
  • I will have knowledge ahead of time about this PC and its specs, OS, installed programs, etc.

First, I'd make sure to include a stripped down version of 7zip, or whatever compression I use (y'all don't wanna get on there and realize you can't decompress your files). Hopefully only a few MB for a CLI utility.

Second, I'd include a decent library stored in a compressed text format. Some fiction, some non-fiction, classics, some of my favorite series, a bunch of "Intro to ___" type of books, that kind of thing. Probably up to 50MB or so.

Third, I would include some low-quality audio of some favorite music as well as a few audio books. Maybe 200MB or so.

Fourth, I'd include a copy of a simple game engine system (maybe something like libgdx) as well as Inkscape, and whatever compiler I would need to create programs/games for my PC, and relevant documentation. This would give me both a creative outlet, and allow me and my companion to make new games for each other to have something novel. Hopefully around 100 or 200MB.

Depending on the size, I might also consider including something like FruityLoops, again to be able to create new content. Ideally something that's 100MB or so.

With whatever space I have left (300 or 400MB-ish), I'd include things like emulators and a couple favorite older games (Lord of the Realms 2 comes to mind) that have good replay value and would be small enough to fit. Ideally some multi-player options as well (assuming a shared keyboard).

Without previous knowledge of the available PC, I'd include multiple builds of 7zip for most common architectures, and prioritize the books and audio. Maybe bring a couple variants of GCC and minGW (if I can write programs, I can eventually replicate lots of the other software).

If you hold the picture far enough away, it just looks like one white duck.

It kinda depends on the license. Copyleft licenses are definitely digital communism--but licenses like CC or other extremely permissive licenses are digital libertarianism. I'm good with it in any case.

Some sort of deformity? What a strange shape.

Math! Also, noise!

There are algorithms (a set of math steps) that make pseudo-random numbers. These usually involve large prime numbers, because those usually generate fewer repeating patterns.

A truly random number generator is similar to rolling dice: you use some source of randomness and convert it to a number. All electric circuits produce "noise" (which is often received radio waves and such that interfere with the circuits). Think of tuning a radio to a channel with nothing on it--you get "white noise", which can be a good source of random information. Then all you need to do is convert that to a range of numbers, and you're good to go.

These are fairly simplified explanations, so take them with a grain of salt, but they give the general idea.

Ah that makes sense. I forgot about the reworked stuff.

It depends on what you mean by "outperform." Raw damage? Maybe, but it'll depend somewhat on the gear you find. Utility? Again, depends on what feats you choose. Control? Fighter, if you take the PAM/Sentinel combo (easy enough with the extra ASIs).

Both characters will be close enough in most things that I would recommend choosing whichever one you think would be more fun and engaging for you. Lv 1 to 20 is typically a long time, and combat will only be part of that (I assume).

I would also ask your DM about whether they'd have any table rules about the Berzerker fatigue thing. If they'd rule it RAW, I'd recommend a Totem barbarian instead. Bear totem at Lv 3 makes you feel like an absolute beast, IMO.

 

It was a big hit.

 

Just swim across--the crocodiles are still at the meeting.

 

but they couldn't start because someone was missing. Who was it?

It was the giraffe. It's still stuck in the fridge.

 

Open the door, remove the elephant, put the giraffe in the fridge, then close the door.

 

Open the door, put the elephant into the refrigerator, and close the door.

 
 

It's okay, though. They told me to reapply every few hours.

 

Grunk need job. Grunk see job carving. Carving say need ten season experience with wheel. But Grunk invent wheel 5 season ago. Grunk think job giver have wheel in place of head.

 

I won't be taking questions.

 
 

Bonus points if someone warned you and you went ahead anyway.
