I played on several NWN persistent worlds back in 2002 before settling on Avlis, and played there on and off for 10 years or so, eventually getting into DMing. Kids came along and I couldn’t play online games that couldn’t be paused for a while, and just a couple of months ago brushed off NWN (well, bought the EE version) and logged back in and was able to pick up my characters from back then. Having a blast and still discovering new areas, learning crafting, and interacting with the rest of the player community. Haven’t seen any game quite like it.

I always find Lisp a bit mind bending and feel like I will be a better programmer once I master it. But it also feels like wood carving, and most of the time I just need to slap some planks together for a bookcase, and don’t have the time to scrimshaw it into a beautiful work of art. I’m not seeing here how Lisp is differentiated from an agent with a code sandbox and python, unless we’re operating that agent inside of Emacs… That’s where the code and the data are swimming together. I don’t think there isn’t a difference, it’s more a matter of my not getting it, if anyone is able to help me understand it’d be appreciated
