There are some rather adorable ghostscript icons out there, when drawn by people who can, well, draw.

Just imagine you're at a bar, and the bartender gives you a drink. "I didn't order a drink," you stammer. The bartender gestures to the other end of the bar and says, "Compliments of the gentleman," and that's when you see him.

A smile creeps across his face.

A lot of those are not as bad as I would expect. While some are definitely due to some hacker coming up with something horrible just to technically have a logo, many look like they are simply old and pixelated and originally motivated by having a favicon or desktop logo in the 90s.

There's a knock at the door. "Oh I hope that's Unix picking me up for our date!" I peer through the keyhole and see GNU's creepy face peering back. "Oh God drat it this is bullshit. GNU isn't Unix." I call Unix and tell them to hurry the gently caress up because GNU is here and I just can't even right now

yeah, BYOB, LF and YCS were the forums you could get cancer for posting in. BYOB has had quite a history of drama and falling in and out of favour with the admins IIRC.

It will always be funny to me that the last thing Radium did any actual work on was forums cancer, a feature that nobody liked or asked for

I was curious:

Obviously these are defined in this XML file, which is one of many datafiles detailing the reverse-engineered in-memory data structure layouts used in Dwarf Fortress. A C++ API to access said data without doing direct memory access is generated from this XML using this perl script. The code emission mostly uses the type enum_type for the enum values, which is a typedef to a (non-scoped) enum.

So: they're actual enums. Also DFHack is hard to parse and I could've saved myself some time by looking at the generated files or documentation or something.

(The advmode_needs_map function is from https://github.com/mifki/df-twbt/blob/master/twbt.cpp apparently, not part of DFHack. The 44 and 45 values for the enum are "Unk44" and "Unk45" according to the xml, presumably indicating enum values whose function hasn't been reverse-engineered yet.)
