Hello. I'm Andy and I'm Scorpio. It is 73 months since my last confession (and blog post). I was menaced at knife-point to post this.

Hey mastodon #gamer (s), I just released my failed Kickstarter game, PETITION. It's really fun.

Box description:
Prove your faith. Bid for divine favour. Sacrifice citizens to save your culture in a game of calculated risk and deadly fanaticism.

2-6 players, 45 to 60 minute game play. Solo mod included. EVERYTHING about the game was created on #opensource and ALL assets are #creativecommons

PSA:

If you want to use Synergy, but don't like the fact that it is paid software, I suggest using the fork called barrier!

Woot! after three seperate failing attempts I managed to get Unicode box drawing characters on NCurses to work through telnet using Ruby. All my attempts in the past either rendered with plain ascii or not at all, it was very ugly.

This will ultimately get integrated into the Open-source :opensource: Ruby :ruby: MUD I've been writing called Aethyr (a text-based mmorpg)

#System76 is releasing a new open-source computer, available for preorder next month. In the coming weeks, before the finalized hardware is announced, a four-part animation will be released weekly, with design updates hidden within a game portion of the story.

So I've been porting the open-source :opensource: mmorpg / MUD game I've been writing here (in java :Java: ) https://github.com/Syncleus/AetherMUD

The new game is written in Ruby :ruby: same idea though. It can be found here now https://github.com/Syncleus/Aethyr

It is a text based multi-player online game called a MUD. You don't even need a client to play, just telnet in to the server.

I've been working on porting over and improving the code that renders an area map. I finally have all the functionality ported over! I attached a screen shotto show what it looks like.

@Shamar
You seem to be confused about what your position is.

> "I do NOT think that #FreeSoftware is good and #OpenSource is evil."

> And I think that OSS projects become VERY EVIL whenever they try to marginalize FS or mute #hackers.

If it's not a hero/ villain story (#BlackWhiteFallacy), when does "free software" become "VERY EVIL"? Allowing the villain to not be a villain if and when they help the hero does not change the basic shape of the story.

@Shamar
> The true problem is #Capitalism.

Basically.

> The fact is that as #EvgenyMorozov pointed out, #OpenSource is a byproduct of Corporations and Venture Capitalism.

That's not a fact, it's the story he tells. The other story, the one that Christine Peterson tells, is that "open source" was a hack to get corporations to support and fund the free code software, instead of fighting it.

So there's what happened, and there's the story we tell ourselves about it.

Christine Peterson tells her version of the story behind how the term #OpenSource was coined:
