What's the proper Monkey Island insult fencing response to "You have the morals of an alleycat!"?

I really need a #ttrpg soundboard with all the stereotypical sounds: Castle thunder, Wilhelm scream, red-tailed hawk, puma, kookaburra, crickets…

Do you have any examples of neat #textfiles formatting?
Not exactly talking about figlet/ANSI-style headings and logos, but headings, table frames, fleurons, dingbats etc.

Say I want to play around with some old sequencers/DAWs/trackers and #midi …
I can't use VSTs directly, and I don't have any synths, and little room. (I did just get a PicoGUS, if that helps)
Any interesting, not too expensive little devices I can get? Interesting synth boxes (without they keys)? Haven't soldered in 20 years, but maybe some Raspberry Pi project? Run VSTs on some other machine and connect them somehow to the retro system?

@npub1ekn…2g2y Mystic as the core psion class or with some more specific use case?

@npub1psd…9sr7 Not sure how satirical this reality was, but yeah, that's probably a few steps too far.
Does it have airships? Those drones need to use something...

@npub1psd…9sr7 And as the IBM/Apple-Microsoft/Intel wars raged on, Switzerland cemented their neutrality by switching to Oberon.
But what won on web pages, ActiveX or Java Applets?

@npub1sdk…0kgj Ich bin ja für Zeitlimits sowohl für Abgeordnete als auch für Parteien ;)

Anyone got interesting links about smaller computers or software for them that are more about manageability, ease of understanding and ecology and not about re-creating specific computers of the past or the aesthetic associated with them (i.e. not #retrocomputing) or prepper scenarios?
Especially interested in more powerful material, i.e. not "build your own 8 bit BASIC computer from transistors", more Oberon/Minix level of capabilities.
(Not sure what the collective term is for this, I just hope it doesn't contain "smol")

@npub1ekn…2g2y Is there a cathedral there? Apparently Russian spies/assassins like those a lot.

Me: "Can anyone suggest a #ttrpg that's a bit like Power Metal and not like D&D?"
"Does Death Metal D&D work?"
"This game has an umlaut!"
"I don't know what Power Metal is, but here's a grimdark game!"
Welp...

@npub1j46…3gm7 Ah, okay, I thought the two visible screens looked like different games. Still, game link cables were a thing.

@npub1j46…3gm7 Was it that much different with Nintendo gameboys?

@npub1sdk…0kgj Hope that doesn't mean that you have to finish a lot of Christmas or Chamomile teas before getting to the better stuff ;)

@npub1sdk…0kgj I thought so myself recently, before I noticed that most of the packages I had were either empty or old enough to go to school.

"This tennis player is the best guitarist I've ever seen"
Every non-zoomer probably knows who he's talking about.
