I'd like to consult the HN hive mind on an tangential point. Does anyone else here dislike loguru on appearance? I don't have a well-articulated argument for why I don't like it, but it subconsciously feels like a tool that i

If we are talking MUDs, I have to plug the Discworld MUD, https://discworld.atuin.net/lpc/ I spent a lot of time on there growing up. Based on the copious writings of Terry Pratchett, it's full of whimsy and humor
