2013 but I guess you mean the new version.
The first time around ended with just use Ubuntu instead.
Which if people trying Linux did stick to vanilla Ubuntu they would probably have a much better time. It seems to always be newbies that end up installing the distros you have never heard of. 😅

I am really fed of of friends and family getting funny when you call it out as a party trick that fails most of the time. For those that dont understand whats its doing and its limitations theres an assumption that its somehow going to get better and we should forgive it being awful at the moment.

Really good game as well as the sequel. Been waiting for the re releases to get a bit cheaper to pick them up. There’s also Fallout Brotherhood of Steel which used the same engine and while it was not as good it’s still worth visiting. I was big on coop games back then and these really stood out.

I wouldn't say its important as there are so many alternatives out there and its not been called Office for 5 years. But yeah I mostly work as a Windows developer and personally cant stand it anymore. I only use it to play some games and for Visual Studio. Other than that its Mac OS and Linux.

Also on Toob. Been with them for a while but they wouldn’t let me renew at £25. Probably could have with some faffing around but they ended up giving me the equivalent difference in Amazon vouchers and paying £29. Overall they have been great though.

Was never an issue. Fabricated nonsense to drive internet traffic I guess.
He is annoying on a few occasions yes, but nothing to warrent all of that.

Still prefer Morrowind but there is no doubt that Skyrim feels more refined. Interface aside. I have been trying to finish off Oblivion Remastered and also started Starfield so definitely been in the mood for that type of game lately.

Had a lot of fun with both the single player and multiplayer back in the day. Almost scared to go back to it now for fear of spoiling my memories of it. The series is a bit of a roller coaster after this one but there are still a few good games in it.

This is an awesome set. I wasn’t going to get it but so glad I did. The way it’s engineered is amazingly clever.

Doesn’t give me much hope for the new Layton game and I have really been looking forward to a new one too. I like to think when people are talking about % of code here they are talking about boilerplate which was easily generated by systems not branded as AI way before any of this crap appeared.

I have been playing it today and I still cant get it right. I am sure did for a brief window many years ago but its not happening today. So frustrating, as its an otherwise amazing game.

Very cool. Is the Pi also doing DCC decoding or is it independent? Or is it not using rail power at all?

Switched straight over to city fibres network when it arrived here. No brainer compared to what the alternatives are.

This makes me think that it should have been animated.
