I guess both? You do hand-of-god design your own life form iteratively over generations, but other microorganisms evolve randomly and branch and die off all over the place (and your own species will branch off into other ones that randomly evolve too - you might be making a meal out of your cousins in a couple generations).

 

About a year ago I put together this 2-sided reference card for Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition to help teach some friends and family how to play (and to remind myself of some of the new keywords in DE). While talking with someone recently, they suggested I actually publish it somewhere online (which I probably should have done a year ago, but oh well).

PDF and LibreOffice Draw files for printing/editing.

When I printed it, I ended up folding/cutting the sheets into quarters and gluing them together to get a thicker card. You could probably just duplex print them if you had thick enough paper though (bleed-through is a concern).

Fair warning: I think I was a little aggressive with the page margins; I was trying hard to avoid shrinking the text more/packing it too tightly to be easily readable.

I did my best to be concise but accurate, particularly with the glossary (some rewording was necessary for space). I also tried to match the colors and style of the game for the Phases sidebar (as much as I could, anyway). The Damage block was added largely in response to getting asked several times what the different damage types "meant".

Though I'm probably done working on this, I would still love to hear any feedback anyone has. If anyone knows other lemmy communities or similar that this would be a good fit for, please let me know as well (but fuck reddit).

This reminds me of something (far, far simpler) that I did long ago. I wrote a small webapp that continually queried various servers and would keep the connection open to push new blocks as the server-side async queries completed. I ran into output-buffering issues (probably from the reverse-proxy server, but I can't be certain at this point) and ended up appending a 1K block of commented-out non-printing unicode characters to ensure it would get flushed to the browser. I called it the plunger. Probably not the best solution 😅

Bad title. Biden won't enforce it because “Given the sheer fact of timing, this Administration recognizes that actions to implement the law simply must fall to the next Administration, which takes office on Monday”. Trump takes office literally the next day, so he's going to have to enforce it (or not).

I do...mostly. I hit Q and P with my ring fingers instead of pinkies. For AZ;/ and shift and enter I do use my pinky fingers always, except (as I've just noticed) when I'm typing a capital A or Z. I seem to almost always hit the left shift instead of the right, so I end up using my left ring finger to hit the A or Z in that case.

Hadn't heard of this company before; I'm quite interested in getting their (non-trackpad) mouse to replace my Logitech G502 Hero that's dying. Does anyone know any other companies making open-source (or at least DIY-friendly) mice to compare?
