I think racial descriptions in fantasy games are more like tendencies. Tendencies that often have to do with the environment that each typically grows up in. I thought this was the traditional view, but maybe not.
While there are of course deviations from the norm, it is hard to lay this out in a digestible way. Simplification help readability. NPCs or locations that break these norms seem like a more pleasant way of de-essentializing.
I agree that the traditional D&D alignment is way too simple for role play.
But I still have a soft spot for Lawful/Chaotic. I think many people display a tendency to conform to the standards of their society and are comforted by norms and tradition, whereas others prefer independence and break from order. This tendency seems more universal than good or evil, since it depends slighly less on cultural norms.
I definitely agree with your focus on factions. In fact, I think many differences between fantasy races derive from the ecogical niche they inhabit, which is emphasized more using factions.
Definitely dope!
My bad I'm conflating bash and Unix. From my end both apple and Linux use bash so they have the same underlying base...but I realize that's not accurate, and even unix and bash are not synonomous.
Not too surprising that iOS has linux in its DNA, but never realized Android does too. Always assumed it was more windows-based. Good to know.
Ah ok makes sense

Neat. Why is Linux kernel relevant for many mobile users? Is iPhone built off of it the same way Mac OS is?
What do you mean by coverage and exploit?
That's unfortunate, but fair enough
Hmm yes politics....
Agreed, creativity requires some blank spaces in our day to day that are often sorely lacking
Hot damn this is good.
