@MechMK1 that's emblematic of another problem tho. People want the SE knowledge and experience but not the culture that makes it possible

@JourneymanGeek That also perfectly sums up my views on immigration.

@MechMK1 Or sometimes the people against immigration :D

But I'd like to keep my politics to the politics of SE and making this a better place rather than the repressing field of sh** that real life politics is :D

Right now the DMZ isn't really that much of a place anymore

Very little discussion

However, I do have something cool to share

shipofharkinian.com

Static recompilation of Ocarina of Time, so that you can play the game as if it was built natively for x64 - because it is

Journeyman Geek

uhh... for those of us who never owned a console... what's that? D;

AHHHH

@MechMK1 I like chatgpt, if it attracts all the low effort help vampires :D

Yes I agree… ChatGPT (tut tut tut.)

May I please ask why this chat room is called The “DMZ”?

Journeyman Geek

Early, and lots of later chatrooms often have humorous allusions to the subject matter of their parent site

Actually its more common than not

I was always in favor of "The Honeypot"

More direct security connection

And a Honeypot is a place where a hacker essentially wastes time

I genuinely love "The Sidechannel"

MechMK1

For crypto, I mean

Journeyman Geek

Pets is "The Litter Box" :D

I feel like there's a main meta post listing the lot :D

@JourneymanGeek I did try to quickly find it, but ended up just going down my list of other rooms I'm currently in and grabbing some of the better names

Q: Non-standard names used for main chatrooms of a site across the networks?

For inspiration, amusement, and reference, I am interested in a list of all chatrooms that: are the official/main chat room of some Stack Exchange site; have a non-standard name, i.e., something other that is not derived from the site’s name in a straightforward manner like Lepitopterology SE G...

there we are :D

@JourneymanGeek right… that’s a good list! Also- sorry if this is a dumb question, but can everyone see vote counts (5 upvotes 2 downvotes) on meta SE? Because even my rep is only like 200 I can!
