I landed on Gleba first and fought long and hard to press the pentapods back. I studied their expansion patterns, and devised a strategy where I used the terrain against mindless beasts. I didn't code dive or use an obvious exploit. It was an easily observable, consistent, and repeatable behavior ...

Nooooooo! I absolutely HATE this idea. Let me start shipping in oil so I can kill this change with fire! I LOVED that I could push the pentapods back. I hated fighting them sooo much. Then i figured out that I could push them back past the highlands and finally stop having those annoying bugs ...

Current systems engineer, and I think wube made the right choice re: test hardware. You have different priorities and make different decisions when you're in the 'S' part of SMB than you do in the 'M' part.

I would never put that stuff in my network, but I have different focuses/needs/requirements ...

As a linux engineer and IT automation guru, I would like to +1 million this idea.
