@Stanislav Datskovskiy One of the best things in NeverWinter Nights is this dwarf, a very fierce tank, who rushes into combat while screaming "Death comes for you all!" at the top of his diminutive lungs. Or it might have been Baldur's Gate.

@Pete Dushenski O hey, that one actually works ? I kinda got tired of trying after the first 3 failures and figured the whole sks system is simply no more of this world.

My link roll is long overdue for a sweep. There are at least four ~dead~ folks on it (and not all of them have tomb sites.)

And, sadly, also a number of folks bitten by the zombies, who may as well have died.

There is, for example, a nice short story called Wang's Carpets (named after Wang tiles). You can find shitty scanned PDFs online, but there's also this online reader (courtesy of our friends at bookfi.net): http://bookre.org/reader?file=222997 ; the story later got incorporated into his book "Diaspora".

To spoil a bit, use of Fourier transforms to reinterpret the frequency-of-tiles-in-an-automaton space into one containing tentacles more complex than your brain, and other things.
