[1:42:04][@thetamiel][Q: When will brogramming return?]
[1:42:41][@mycon_][Q: I don't really use "static" anywhere and I've been fine without it. Am I doing something wrong?][:language]

[1:52:38][@czapa10][Q: Yeah, makes sense. Thank you]
[1:52:41][@mattiamanzati][Q: Which kind of light does [~hero Handmade Hero] support? Did I assume right it supports any as long you put light correctly? Maybe moon light can be a planar light put over rooms marked as "outside"][:lighting]
