@Grandalf@aus.social >According to Barthold Georg Niebuhr, "the name Elagabalus is branded in history above all others" because of his "unspeakably disgusting life".[9] An example of a modern historian's assessment is Adrian Goldsworthy's: "Elagabalus was not a tyrant, but he was an incompetent, probably the least able emperor Rome had ever had."

@Grandalf@aus.social >His behavior estranged the Praetorian Guard, the Senate and the common people alike. Amidst growing opposition, at just 18 years of age he was assassinated and replaced by his cousin Severus Alexander in March 222.

>Elagabalus developed a reputation among his contemporaries for extreme eccentricity, decadence, zealotry and sexual promiscuity. This tradition has persisted; among writers of the early modern age he endured one of the worst reputations among Roman emperors.

I've setup an Opengist server at https://gist.thisisjoes.site. Users can login with an account on my Gitea instance. If you don't have an account, you can login with GitHub or GitLab if you prefer.

Allowing the player to feel around a dark room in a TADS3 game is surprisingly difficult. someone posted an example of searching through a container in the dark which I can hopefully adapt. #gamedev #textgames

Since the Steam Deck was released I don't even need Windows for games anymore (except modded fallout, I could never figure that out on Linux)

Finally updated the Searx link on my homepage to the new SearxNG instance that obsoletes it. Not sure how long I'll keep the legacy service running
