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
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.
Gateway Interplanetary filesystem Netmask Daemon Shadow copy Avatar
Now that’s a final boss
Doesn’t ipfs stand for interplenary file system?
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.
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
Asynchronous Threads
Port Forward (this one just sounds like a dope place)
Remote Host
Domain Controller
Immutable Type
CAT5e sounds like a fifth-edition ruleset
ethernet sounds like some mystical realm
Wait, did ethernet come from aether
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.
Avatar and icon were similarly stolen from mysticism.
Inversion of control
Bsod
Cycle detection
Port knockingPowerShell
Get-Date
Read-Host
Remove-Alias
Remove-Event
Sort-Object
Remove Event: 5th level spell, cast as a reaction. Instantly negates the previous action. Spell DC wisdom check.
Rust - rusts metal. When miscast, makes the target a crab of some sort
Go - Same as “command” spell
Regular Expression - makes any cryptic message understandable in a language you know
Transfer Protocol - allows the teleportation of one packet to a willing host
Read Only - cast on a book, scroll or any other thing with written words. Ensures no further words can be written. No scribbles or any sort of artwork will stick either. The object can still be destroyed
Icon - For a short period, the target of the spell becomes a beloved, or hated, icon of a subject. IE: beloved icon of beauty, hated icon of music.
Master Boot Record - this magical list contains all the master level boots ever created and their current whereabouts
Partition Table - allows any object with at least 2 flat sides to be cut into any shape
