a female character in a dream: "I deride the whole notion that the forces of good and the forces of evil must engage in constant battle to avert some great calamity" the ending was changed from "evil" before the sentence finished, in order for it to make sense

it lacks a bit of flavor, because the character had been pretending to be ignorant or stupid before she said that, but the prior conversation was very brief and I had already forgotten it and the context as soon as I woke up (search led to: https://richarddawkins.net/2014/08/a-hundred-walked-out-of-my-lecture/)

but the male character she was talking to was sort of an undead rogue, who probably appeared in the dream a minute earlier to demonstrate the stupidity of the rogue by stealthing at the hint of enemy rogues, and then stupidly unstealthing because he thought the danger had passed. So he was supposed to be part of the 'forces of evil', or something like it

sort of like how in Villains by Necessity, the rogue Sam (Samalander) was part of the forces of evil

*the assassin, Sam (Samalander)

Poll: "Is it bad for law enforcement to engage in law enforcement?"

AoE2: mouse position on edge of map wrong? https://youtu.be/clnh8JV6qws?t=328 *probably, "uses a default elevation to translate mouse position to XY coordinate, instead of the same elevation as adjacent map"

AoE2: 'limited unit coop' mode could be combined with limited APM. Maybe best way to do a tournament, as it allows top players to control the empire without putting all the focus on them. APM limit set per player, similar to handicap. 20 APM (as actual commands, or eAPM) for the empire players, no limit for the 'limited unit coop' players.

Better for a tournament with a high prize pool, as instead of 'a random player', or 'a player selected from a pool with an arbitrary limit on ladder rating', can select the best player possible, just with limited APM.

sort of news:

You're the ruler of the world. You thought it would be easy, but majority of people hate you. Most cities you visit, huge protests by people who blame you for every single problem in their lives, including crime, police brutality, inflation, taxes, Covid-19, and vaccines. They also believe horrible lies about things you've secretly done. How can you use your unlimited power to become less hated?

Share the idea if you watched Cang Lan Jue drama (Love Between Fairy and Devil).
