I also made at least one good friend on that game. We keep in touch years later.
Was amusing the idea to try recreate the original game as open source, with due differences like a true rich tech tree and less grind (no need to monetize an open source game after all), and most of all, self hostable server.
But RL is a bitch and free time is hard to come by these days, so.
Yeah the game was pretty addictive and I took the DN fiasco as a good reason to finally quit. I got to RS10. But seeing how rs10 was so much less fun in red stars was also a turn down as well.
I had friends playing rs10 regularly tough, so those where doable and kinda fun too it seems.
Rs9 where real fun tough... Specially done in private corps with three more able and willing partners.
White stars too, I really enjoyed them, maybe I was in a lucky corporation.
My solution is Silverbullet.md on web, syncthing + native markdown editor (Markor on Android). - yes sincthing is still very well alive on android, there is at least one android client still actively developed AFAIK.
Because Joplin is (IMHO) slow and does not store notes in plain markdown but its own format, even if it's called .MD, it's not markdown.
Also, silverbullet.md is really something unique, worth trying even if a bit more nerdy.
Not in Ottawa here... Cats lives outdoor normally and really doesn't suffer from that.
As for local fauna, well, yeah, but again cats have been living here for centuries and its pretty difficult to say that cats are not "local fauna" at this point.
To be honest, I would like my cats to KILL rats and mice instead of bringing them inside alive to play and then forget about them... But this is another story.
Human hunters to much more harm than cats around here. They even kill people sometimes. I would like to stop them more than stop cats from going outside.
Note: I own 4 dogs and 2 cats. The cats have a catflap and spend most of their time outside, since they are big enough to avoid being eaten by crows or foxes. I have even seen one cat walk side by side with a fox once. The dogs also are hunters and far more dangerous thab the cats as they killed, so far: three young boars, two young deer's, a couple of rabbit nests and I had twice already to jump in a dog-fox fight and separate the contenders letting the fox run away....
I am pretty sure cats dont "belong" inside at all.
They are wild animals, partially domesticated but much much more wild than dogs. Dogs don't survive much without us, cats do, and even thrive in the correct climate (remember they come from warm climates, we brought cats all over the world).
Whether we messed up bringing a ferocious predator with superior physical capabilities all around the world and destroying local fauna (Australia, and such places...) It's not cats fault and doesn't mean they belong inside.
In fact, cats belong outside and just take advantage of our "inside" unless they are kept captives on purpose.
