Probably because that's getting dangerously close to a subspace weapon, which gives just about everyone in the galaxy the willies.

Going too fast on an older warp drive can already degrade subspace and make warp travel harder for everyone. Now imagine a ship made to run at full warp into another ship at full warp and then both explode. That sounds like a fast way of pissing off your neighbors.

• "You can't pass through here. We're waiting for the inquisition." - "We are the inquisition." sets fire to the stakes and immediately moves on (No, they weren't the inquisition.)
• "What is this summoning circle supposed to be? It's all smudged! Did you tip over that candle and just put it up again without fixing the circle? Did you reuse this circle? Is that a lump of unsecured unmetal over there on the table? Have you idiots ever heard anything of elementary workplace safety?!" (Said after a demon summoning by the demon the PCs summoned. For reference, unmetal has the bad habit of going nuclear if exposed to too much magic.)
• "You haven't lived until you've done a jumping puzzle in a non-Euclidean space."
• "What is your opinion on trees?" - "Trees... are."
• "Talk to the hand." (A demonologist trying to banish one of the most powerful entities in the setting with a low-end banishment spell and a pentagram scrawled into his palm.)

That's all I can think of right now because also tired. But yeah, that campaign was wild.

Thanks. The pain is very moderate for me but yeah, there's layers to how uncomfortable it is. Still totally worth it.

I never got into Blade of Destiny but Star Trail and Shadows over Riva were my jam back in the day.

These games were certainly unafraid of punishing the player and contained some oldschool bullshit. They also had some issues like some spells you can never use (because they didn't have the entire trilogy planned out when they started but wanted characters to carry over).

But damn were they atmospheric. Good soundtracks, too.

I love how the prices went up by 20% before the ad was even over.

Nose surgery to remove polyps and correct a septum deviation. I'm getting out of the hospital today. It's going to take a few weeks for me to fully heal but being able to breathe through the nose again is luxurious.

I wouldn't bet on it. The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module in there doesn't seem to have a standard form factor so even if you can slot in a standard module you might not be able to connect the antenna wires. Also, this MBP came out just around the same time as M.2 so you'll probably have to go for an older mPCIe module.

A USB adapter is the far safer bet.

I gotta be honest, I haven't used a dedicated sound card since the Vista/7 era when EAX stopped being a thing and onboard sound could handle 5.1 output just fine. The last one I had was a SoundBlaster Audigy.

These days the main uses for dedicated sound interfaces are for when you need something like XLR in/out and then you'll probably go with something USB.

Port 220.

IRQ 5, port 220h, DMA 1 was what I used for my SoundBlaster 2.

Later I used IRQ 5, port 220h, DMA 1, high DMA 5 for my SoundBlaster 16.

Unfortunately many brutalistic buildings are far off from its peak and just look like lazily designed gray blobs. High-effort brutalism can look good (or can look inappropriately evil but that's besides the point); low-effort brutalism always looks cheap.
