@neauoire No, but I *am* reading the rulebook for Vampire: The Masquerade 5e, so there is that.

@epilanthanomai Just a quick heads-up that I got an AWS connectivity alert for #signsandcodes. Now, obviously I'm telling you on here, so it appears everything is up for right now, but be sure to keep an eye out.

@epilanthanomai There's a story here.

@neauoire Finishing this thread though it went cold. Does asm6 offer you the .dw directive instead? That might do it.

@neauoire Not easy for me to grab the docs for it, but I suspect .db expects a list of single byte values, hence the "value out of range"

@neauoire I have a guess. Which assembler are you using?

@neauoire they're all the same size. Why not use an integer to index them? Or put the labels themselves in an array?

@peregrine @neauoire Just checked. The 6502 has no microcode but does use a PLA so someone did program it's internal control logic.

@peregrine @neauoire I'd believe multiple operations, and possibly even a light microcode internally, but AFAIK no outward facing code for them, so no opcode for them. Usually when someone says "one instruction, many opcodes", I understand it to mean the instruction is actually an alias to a sequence of instructions. Then again, the 6502 is pretty spare and the opcodes themselves may be the bit string for the internal operations.

@peregrine @neauoire Multiple opcodes per instruction on the 6502? The instruction set always looked so raw...

@neauoire What, in this context, is Donsol?

@vk @vickysteeves Having something like OWL doesn't really change the power relationship of a service provider and their ability to decide what constitutes a "family unit", though. It just gives a new language to express that in.

@vickysteeves What if instead of fighting it we just admit we all feel it? You, me, Neil Gaiman, Neil Armstrong...

@vickysteeves Data designers deciding what constitutes a family has been an endless inconvenience to me.

Storyteller: "The Brujah anarch looms over you, casually spinning a tire iron in his hand. He flicks back his hair and bares his fangs. What do you do?"

Evanescence: "BID MY BLOOD TO RUN BEFORE I COME UNDONE!"

Storyteller: ((tosses die)) "You have failed your rouse check and gain one hunger. The Beast claws up your spine until you feel it in your throat, growling."

Evanesence: "I'VE BEEN LIVING A LIE! THERE'S NOTHING INSIDE!"

Storyteller: "Indeed. Strength + Brawl, please."

@paideuomai Those sorts of experiences are a crazy point of reference. I remember being given a box of Provigil, and while I did use it once in a while to ensure I didn't sleep at the wheel, its biggest impact on me was that I could suddenly pay attention to things without distraction.

This might be sign that I'm becoming a fossil, but I am regularly confused when I discover that Ubuntu doesn't include lynx by default.
