Image transcription:
Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities
I’ll start:
- Firewall
- Virtual Memory
- Single source of truth
- Lossless Compression (this one sounds really powerful for some reason)
Your turn
Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names
You must log in or register to comment.
Python runtime. Time for you to run from these pythons bitch.
BSOD. Pretty self-explanatory
Agile development. Raises Dex everytime a new enemy enters vision.
Agile development would be a killer monk ability
Gateway Interplanetary filesystem Netmask Daemon Shadow copy Avatar
Now that’s a final boss
Doesn’t ipfs stand for interplenary file system?
- 28k modem connection sounds *
Sanity check
Wildcard
Merge Bash Overwrite memory
Key binding
Class inheritanceMerge Bash Overwrite memory
That’s not an ability, that’s an entire encounter and I love it.
Shielded Twisted Wire rootkit worm recursive loop MAC address( kinda like a true name i guess) Administrator control
- Hypervisor
- time daemon
- privilege escalation
The Privilege Escalation hits hard
- Defragmentation
It’s the lower level spell to use when someone’s been hit with Disintegrate. Much cheaper than True Res.
i would go with the OSPF Ritual
Zero Trust: curse. You become suspicious of your allies.
Oomkiller
- rowhammer
- rainbow table
- global interpreter lock
- race condition (atrocity?)
- core dump
rainbow table
You win the thread. That is straight up out the old school Player’s Handbook.
Private Void NULL
Null pointer sounds like a powerful spell
Isn’t there a film about saving him?
Nah, he had “bone spurs”.
Asynchronous Threads
Port Forward (this one just sounds like a dope place)
Remote Host
Domain Controller
Immutable Type
Some fun ones here you guys can help me think of their purpose
Print spool MAC address System Time IPV4 and IPV6 Air gap Random Access Memory OS Kernal Memory Contoller South bridge North Bridge Corruption Device Manager Encryption SALT API Key System Services Device Drivers
CAT5e sounds like a fifth-edition ruleset
ethernet sounds like some mystical realm
Wait, did ethernet come from aether
Yeah, it’s named after the luminiferous aether, the invisible medium light waves were theorised to move in. Turns out photons just do that instead.
Yes.
Same idea as “the cloud.” You’d draw a diagram and the arrows would eventually go to a squiggly representation of someone else’s problem.
Makes me think of a net you use to capture things that are on the ethereal plane.
You use it to catch the ether bunny
Avatar and icon were similarly stolen from mysticism.
