Reception
The Referee said the "scenic settings... are very fine including some effective seascapes."[7]
gollark: Duckduckgoing it just shows IRC logs mentioning it.
gollark: Does anyone know where the code of ForumUpdaterBot is? I want to bidirectionally bridge certain nimforum threads (on a selfhosted instance) to IRC and thought its code might be a good base.
gollark: Ah, that seems to work, it was being weird since the message didn't contain anything but the image I think.
gollark: I'm running an instance of nimforum for reasons, is there a way to embed external images?
gollark: And OSes have rather a lot of sources of unpredictable data which is aggregated into "random" values.
