Yet another Text-playing monster group.

It's been described here as casting "text to flesh" (though perhaps the spell [sic] should be called "flesh to text").

Belarian: So how is 3.6.0 better than 3.5.* ?

There is no CABs for Windows CE and APKs for Android. To Windows CE there seems to be no compiler available (on a Windows CE device). And to Android you maybe have to download it via that dreaded Google Play,which is blocked. Last edited: Sun, 3 Jan 2016 02:27:46

This has to be my favorite DD ever. Too bad I can't give it higher than E.
