the letters are “supposed to be” for Latin, a language with only five different vowel sounds.

Come to think of it, Shadowrun lore is a Cyberpunk 2077 crossover with The Witcher (the awakening ≈ the conjunction), and witchers could work fine on SR physical-adept rules… 🤔

I have an M1 Macbook Air (under half price secondhand thanks to a superficial dent on a corner) and while I agree I love having such powerful hardware that sips battery so sparingly, MacOS can go eat a whole bag of stale dicks.
