I could have swore bottom left was just a plastic doll head on a stick.

… I would say that’s more about 10 and 12 having their on words, we don’t say ten two, it’s a bit of a shortcut? Then after 16 we stopped caring and didn’t make new words, sticked to 10 7, 10 8, 10 9 for some reason, that IS weird. Unless you take into account that base 10 wasn’t always the norm and maybe it made sense to have dedicated words for numbers up to 12 or 16 because they were commonly used quantities or alternative counting bases idk. See I can find (blurry memories of, needs sources) good reasons ;p The point being people say 4 20 12 but only think 92.

Yeah that’s why i say the Belgian and Swiss ways are better, their French speakers have dedicated words for 70 80 90. That being said I not sure but I guess in a lot of languages those words just mean 7x10 8x10 9x10 … we understand base 10 better but that’s still a calculation in disguise, historically (and still in some cultures?) base 10 isn’t the norm (hence the 4x20 among others).

the thing nobody mentions is that the 4x20 part became a word that just means 80 in people’s mind, it kinda not literal anymore, but the Swiss and Belgian ways are still better (edit the 4x20+10 is similarly just 90)

I mean if you really trying to make sense of it, it doesn’t anyway, that’s not how statistics works.

The license plate seems to be confused whether it’s ENnglish or FRench.

Maybe a dose of realism? To hack anything serious from the outside it would probably take weeks or months of investigation, programming, testing, … So if the players don’t have the time, physical access, or previous knowledge and tools, that’s a big nay. It depends on what type of sci-fi though, if it’s the movie / tv type where hacking is a shortcut to anything in record time, welp.

I can think of a couple systems that don’t use gold (or any other straight currency) :

The One Ring uses treasures as a measure of wealth, which above set amounts grows and gives you access to more. It’s not about spending your treasures, you’re not buying goods for currency (most of the time), instead you can afford stuff depending on your level of wealth.

Warhammer Rogue Trader (40k) while not a ttrpg still offers an interesting alternative. Since you’re extremely wealthy, earning and spending currency wouldn’t make much sense on a small scale, so instead you gain reputation with various factions by trading with them, which in turn gives you access to items you can grab freely.

The idea is the same, rather than using currency you have a measure of what you have access to. It can evolve up or down, varying what you can get over time, without the hassle of book keeping (or verty little of it).

maybe they inverted arms and legs? im not sure about mouse anatomy

I thought we were done with the “medieval dark age” myth.

logic was fries alone wouldn’t taste like much ^^

Once, out of salt, I put sugar in my fries. It wasn’t bad.
