There were quite a few games using the same formula (and improving on it), to the point where I feel Desperados would be my favorite in that genre, not Commandos itself.

I still remember having to reparation my drive and reinstall windows, upgrading from fat16, because commandos wouldn’t fit on either partition.

Local models are really good at tokenizing the text and figuring the intent in the user input. Not perfect, but much better than any possible regexps you can think of. And it’s a trivial operation you can run even on a CPU model.

The windows client does, yes. But I’ve found that to be fragile on occasions.

Technically, it does have a windows client. It’s just in various states of being broken.

Updates to DNS, yes. Not necessarily to your primary zone. In other words, you don’t need access to the name servers for your highly privileged example.com zone, only the nameservers for inconsequential.example.com. With the challenge delegation you can easily narrow the scope by CNAMEing the relevant _acme-challenge enries in your primary domain once. This not only removes the need for the validator to modify your primary zone, but also scopes what subdomains it can validate, too. So the blast radius decreases.

I, too, maintain several devices that insist on having the certificates (and keys, yuck) being fed to them by hand. I automated it all, because I don’t see why a human should be in a loop of copying the secret material. Automaton is good.

How complicated is it to have a CNAME? /s

You can delegate to isolated nameservers with DNS-01, there’s no need to have control over the primary zone: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/technical-deep-dive-securing-automation-acme-dns-challenge-validation
