  • Name eating thingy, SCP-5300… ish. Reclassified a few times as prior efforts were misplaced. You’d swear they were right here. One of them had a good name, something-phage. Borderline antimemetic. Passed back and forth between departments, and never really lost, but not exactly pinned-down to the foundation’s typical standards. Rated safe - just kind of a pain in the ass. Mostly harmless.




  • I’d argue Unity’s implosion was wholly evitable. All they had to do was announce, going forward, there would be different licensing. Big new version six months from now? Hey guess what, we’ll do things differently from then on, so make your preparations accordingly. But no - they fucked over existing projects. They tried to retroactively interfere with the business decisions of games that were years into development.

    Oracle only gets away with that shit because they’re an eight-ton gorilla. And people still desperately look for the exits every time Larry Ellison announces a relicensing scheme based on how many computers you can think of.









  • Gin and hubris tell me the leading defense will be other drones. Defense still has the range advantage: assholes come to you. You can easily make faster and lighter drones than whatever’s targeting you, and if nothing else, punish attacks with loss of materiel. Which doesn’t even require blowing up your zippy little drone, if the enemy’s rotors can be fucked by anything more substantial than Silly String.
