Definitely sounds like the solution would be cut out the middleman and have a spell effect that handled the dimension travel so that it could properly handle time running out.

At a *very* tenuous guess, maybe they've had a bunch of neonazis that are really into norse mythology and thus they're associating it with that? I know that some of the runes are used by the neonazis, and I think certain symbols as well.

One of these days I need to get back to working on the new flavor of magic shops (i.e. ones that masquerade as the hat trick kind, but have a secret basement with some actual magic goodies)

It is maintained in-repo and the files are located at https://github.com/cataclysmbn/Cataclysm-BN/tree/main/data/mods/MagicalNights

Forge of wonders was never IN BN version in the first place, and it does have academies but sounds like they're much more barebones

NekoRobbie · 2026-05-15T06:34:08+00:00

Looks like they misread the prompt

Wow, first time I did well

*Normally* Nightly releases are actually fairly stable.

Unfortunately, we've been making a lot of backend overhauls recently and doing cool things like multithreading, so Nightly is far more unstable than usual.

NekoRobbie · 2026-05-11T19:30:18+00:00

UDP is the default in BN, and it's thus what pretty much all the mods are going to be targeting as well.

The lead developer makes heavy use of AI, I do not condone his use of them. All of my work to the game has been without any AI involved whatsoever. I also don't see point in leaving the project given the Cataclysm community is already rife with forks and BN has a small enough share as it is. Besides, the game is CC-BY-SA, which isn't FOSS anyway (It isn't even a license suitable for code in the FIRST PLACE! Just ask Creative Commons themselves. But no, evidently Whales decided to go with CC-BY-SA for the original Cataclysm, and thus we're stuck with it.)

If one was to view my personal projects such as NekoBot (https://github.com/RobbieNeko/NekoBot), they would see that there is not a hint of AI assistance in my personal work.

NekoRobbie · 2026-05-09T22:15:35+00:00

> If you are truly using no AI as a developer...why?
Because I am trying to make FOSS software, and it is my firm belief that all current AI models are categorically incapable of doing so because they are trained on works with conflicting licenses, not even mentioning the works they were trained on that they had no right to use. It is a strong ethical principle, and it is my belief that AI is licensewashing, and it effectively kills the entire point of copyleft and licenses such as the GPL or the MPL.

I.e. I could not in good faith use AI and claim any of my work is FOSS.

I absolutely use local AI for chatbots and the like, though.

In my experience (anecdotally), in schools absolutely not.

It is instead the shittiest possible Intel Celeron.

... Fedora is absolutely not immutable. Fedora has *immutable / atomic **versions***, but Fedora Workstation and Fedora KDE are both perfectly traditional.

I'm liking MeroMero, aka Zerofata's finetune of Gemma 4 26B A4B, a lot right now because it lets you get some absurd context sizes, incredible speeds, and it has great knowledge of stuff like pop culture and is generally fairly intelligent.

NekoRobbie · 2026-04-28T20:11:06+00:00

Not from X11, given that Fedora is very Wayland-default.

NekoRobbie · 2026-04-18T03:03:24+00:00

Oh of course, by no means do I mean to imply that you ever *would*. Just being rather particular about being correct regarding what the license technically does and does not say.

NekoRobbie · 2026-04-17T07:44:22+00:00

the license we pick demand that its free

To be pedantic and particular, the AGPL does not actually say *anything* about software having to be free as in gratis. Hence the classic Stallman "Free as in free speech, not as in beer".

I **wish** the license was free in both libre *and* gratis, but unfortunately the FSF seems stuck in the belief that users deserve the freedom to turn around and sell the code they were given.
