The ports being there to help illustrate its synthetic nature was more important to me than how it looks exactly so i left that open to the artist who i suppose had one lying around and used that as a template for this.

As indicated by the "gray fox android" in the window labeled "bio.txt" in the art, completely mechanical. Also, what does champions online have to do with this?

Well, there would be an extensive media collection stored inside, so there are a lot of options. Just to pick one example, the new Ghost in the Shell anime feels fitting.

Thanks UwU. And yeah fair point regarding the color palette, though i suppose having explicit hexcodes on there would mitigate the issue somewhat.

I have been playing Time Snatcher Handy recently, a roguelike centered around a time-stop mechanic, which only uses 44 MB. It is pretty good. Going through my steam library from the lowest up, here are the others i would recommend, stopping at one GB, because most of my games are under 20 GB and i tend to be relatively selective with what games i get so i consider most of them good also:

  • TIS-100 (80 MB), programming puzzle game by Zachtronics
  • Islanders (150 MB), minimalist city builder
  • Enter the Gungeon (346 MB), bullet-hell roguelike
  • Streets of Rogue (417 MB), roguelike which emphasizes having multiple possible approaches for how to get any given objective
  • Opus Magnum (493 MB), another Zachtronics programming puzzle game
  • Vault of the Void (554 MB), roguelike deckbuilder (one of my most played games, especially recommended)
  • Backpack Hero (616 MB), roguelike focused on maximizing adjacency bonuses on your inventory grid
  • Urbek City Builder (685 MB), city builder (obviously)
  • Slipways (735 MB), a game about optimizing trade routes between planets
  • Cassette Beasts (1 GB), similar to Pokemon, with the main differences being that you turn into the monsters instead of summoning them, type advantage/disadvantage giving unique status effects rather than just changing damage and battles generally being 2v2 instead of 1v1

You can edit posts, adding tags like that is done to provide commentary on the post that doesn't get attached to further reblogs (unless someone copies it into their own reblog addition like in the screenshot here)

It is not quite a native binary, but the effect of not having to install java to run it is the same. Using jlink you can assemble a runtime image containing the java bytecode for the application and a custom runtime enviroment containing the parts of the the jre needed to run that program.

Should be possible. Whatsapps requirements for Stickers are that they must be 512 x 512 pixels and at most 100 kB, i don't have the exact pack but i do have one from the same artist and all from that one do fit those requirements. Even if not resizing them for that is possible.

They probably meant "anchor point". Maybe they also speak german (Anker is german for anchor) and confused the spellings between the languages.

I also recommend them, they are great. Some things that i especially like is the connection between the two main characters, the books giving you a very believable idea on how dragon-based warfare could work and showing different ways various cultures interact with dragons. While the major european powers mostly stick to the air force part mentioned in my earlier comment and generally don't interact with people outside the military much, china for example has dragons more integrated into society and holding a wider variety of jobs. Book 4 showed a lot about dragons in southern africa, though i won't spoil the specifics.

I have completed book 4 since my previous comment and am now deep into book 5.

I am currently about halfway through the fourth book of the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. A sort of historical fantasy set in a version of the Napoleonic wars in a world with dragons, which are used by the nations of that world as a sort of airforce. This one in particular is about a disease threatening the british dragons and the search for a cure.
