My favourite role of his (outside of Trek) is as the Elvis-loving dad in The Commitments.

That’s more optimistic than I am about it. My first thought was that they will just abandon the ports and contribute nothing to the ecological disaster of the left over oil and petrochemicals polluting the seas.

Hail to the King, baby!

Obligatory shout-out for any Bullfrog games of that era, especially Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2. Lionhead’s Black & White is 1 year out of your window, but such a good game.

Also:
Syndicate Wars
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Grim Fandango
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Descent
Grand Theft Auto

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes ranks number one for me; the original story with updated control scheme and graphics is awesome. Then it’s a toss up between 2 and V. 2 is a solid game in the same mould as the first, but V allows me to Fulton extract unsuspecting enemies which is a genius mechanic that allows me an immense range of fuckery.

That may well be the thing I’m looking for, thanks for the pointer!

You don’t understand because I didn’t state why 😅 I have enough time and energy to set up and manage containerised applications. 20 years ago I might have had the drive to set up a local dev version, manage the dependencies and set up local init scripts, but not anymore.

KDE Connect is a great idea, thanks!

Don’t overlook Ben Sulayem’s history of misogyny and the attack on Susie Wolff under his leadership.

My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

Books of Blood haunted my late teenage years

Bonus points if you can get them to preserve all the NSFW mods as well.

I’d say it’s time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won’t abide private efforts then it’s time to make the government do it.

Let’s not be too hasty to call it garbage when it could in fact turn out to be rancid dog shit.

Key info, this relates to discrete cards only, not integrated graphics:

Since Linux lacks the infrastructure for properly and reliably indicating if a full-screen 3D game is running versus another application, this change will just use the full-screen 3D power profile at boot time by default. It’s better in the name of performance but with more aggressive ramping of the core/memory clock frequencies it can come with an increase to power use by default.

Not being in the USA, I rarely get to watch America Football, but that was beautiful.

I had no idea this was being worked on, and the news has made my day

I have it on Android, it feels more like a PC game ported to Android. I quite enjoyed it.

Yeah, I was hoping to have it expand my tastes a little. Oh well.

I was on the verge of starting a subscription to try out the AI generated playlists in PlexAmp. I hope they provide a similar integration with another service provider.
