Even for games only released for Windows, with proton most of them work, its games with hardware tied intrusive DRM that are most of the ones that have any issue, and honestly, I have no issue boycotting that shit

To be fair, I didn't really focus on the biggest annoyance I've had with spaces in the file name: going between terminals and the GUI, most filenames you can copy and paste with wild abandon, but filenames with spaces always require special care, sometimes stripping the auto completed escaped space from file names from the terminal, or quoting or escaping the space when taking one from the GUI.

You are correct, that is how I worked around the issue and why I mentioned that work around in my original post

for f in *.txt; do cat $f; done

Will error for example. It works fine for filenames without space, but if the filename has space in it, it will be interpreted wrong. But if your testing batch doesn't have spaces in the filename, you won't see the issue until it's used on a file that does. Note 'cat' is a placeholder, any function/script that can be used on a file here will have the same issue.

Something similar to that caught me last week while I was unzipping multiple mods in bulk for a game.

The problem is really that space is an argument separator, so to safely handle filenames with spaces you need to handle them special, either by escaping them, quoting the entire thing. This means that the filename with spaces can't be just copy pasted wherever you want, you have handle them special. It adds complications that are resolved by just using a separator that isnt used for other things, like underscore, or dash. Dot I also don't like as much as it's used as a separator for extensions, but that's a far easier problem to handle by just ignoring all but the last dot, leaving only one really bad edge case (a file that does not have an extension, that uses dot separator in its filename having the filesystem imply a wrong extension.

How the hell did you find that 4th picture. Who would even do that?!?

FTFY

Wish is an easy one, since it can be used to cast most of the other spells talked about here

Clone, immortality without any of the normal downsides (I can choose to die still and don't need souls or any bs like that)

Identify and go pawn shop hunting and the like

Really most divination spells would be solid for stock market manipulation

Enchantment spells for manipulating the corporate ladder, or getting into politics or something (mass suggestion in the really any political nexus, geus for more targeted things, modify memory, etc).

Healing and revivification spells and sell my services to the elite, bring back the dead, speak to loved ones, etc. Clone works well here too, especially since it has age manipulation.

IRL letal damage is rarely immediately lethal, which is a fact not translated well into the game. The fact he went to the ER is a good sign that it very easily could have lead to death for someone without medical aid.

Also by biting the arm instead of say, the neck, is pretty clear it was a declared non-lethal attack

Honestly, SCP-4971 feels like a great bait and switch warlock hook to use on an experienced player. An oops your the bbeg moment. Either that or a prologue campaign to open in, and a second campaign where the good guys have to gather enough sacrifices in time.

Could be worse, could be this https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-4971/biphi2.png

"Oathbreakers" are evil, by definition, "oathbreakers" are not. A oath of conquest paladin that broke their oath for good reasons, would be more suited for a oath of redemption.
