Sure, but I don't think they must be mutually exclusive; on the contrary: in the late stages when your character is a tank, swarms of minions that posed a challenge in early stages…

Haha, blushing in awkward uncertainty that I've failed to detect irony …? (Is this HN, right?) But even if, thanks anyway! I'm glad I could vent the lore I've spent gathering in un…

Fair point, though /DT and /DD are also optional just like /TH, /TD and /TR are. So in effect, def…scription list could structurally save you one TR for each entry and two "BLE"s: …

Ran into this discrepancy myself. On top that, what seemed also odd to me were the "dots" (tittle, period, semicolon) where oversized becomes hollow in the middle, like it cancels …

When (rarely) using hex editors, one thing constantly comes to my mind: isn't base 16 arabic-roman numerals a bit awkward for "skimmable" overview? Color-coding indeed helps immens…

That's peanuts. LI's third-party bot prevention service, "protechts.net", took 42 GB RAM on my laptop with 32 GB the other day. Obviously found out because it got suspiciously slow…

Good question! Actually (to my minor dismay): not completely . Disabling "font support" in Firefox surprisingly still has a hatch for "well-known" icon fonts, with intention to pre…
