I know people still enjoy this game quite a bit and my opinion shouldn't take anything from that, but this pattern of finally adding new ships to the game but putting them behind "ARX Early Access" is really predatory. I have a hunch that this is done to "encourage" more players to spend cash in the ARX store, but ships shouldn't be the mechanism to do that.

Interesting. For a long time we didn't have a God of War on PC (not counting emulators), then I discovered DarkSiders could fill that void. I played the first two to 100%, but I thought THQ Nordic was done with the series. Really glad to see I was wrong there.

 

By All Means Necessary was the first record I bought. Every track on that album is solid

Fresh for '88... you SUCKAS.

Yeah this along with Neoseeker have been my go-to for decades now

Just want to chime in that I've seen TabbyML used a fair bit at work. Tabby in particular can run locally on M1/M2/M3 and uses the Neural Engine via CoreML. The performance hit isn't noticeable at all and most of what we use it for (large autocompletes in serialized formats) it excels at.

I've only played a few of the older titles. I was introduced to the series with DQ8 on the PS2 and really liked it. I played DQ9 a few times and enjoyed it. I played both the DQMJ games on the NDS and had a lot of fun with them. Honestly I had the most fun with the DQMJ games.

From the article:

Fergus told Poilievre he was disregarding the speaker’s authority and, in an unusual move, said: “I order to you to withdraw from the House … for the remainder of this day’s sitting.

Grabbed Manor Lords this weekend and haven't put it down since. Pretty solid for a city builder.

Hey just to ptich in my two cents. Our shop is running a very similar setup (Enterprise FinTech, MAU is around 100-200m across all sites), with Ubuntu and Rocky on k8s with all workstations running MacOS and Windows since compliance policies are easy to apply to both. I can vouch for Ubuntu LTS given other options. Doesn't require a support contract, really solid security patch cycles and everything runs without issues.

Also unsure of using Linux as a workstation solution since at the time of setup, all the viable distos required you to either manually roll a compliance solution, or use their specific sometimes built-in solutions (see RHEL). That may have changed in the passed few years though.

I use Plexamp on my phone, but I use ncmpcpp and mpd on my towers and laptop. I think both players suite my purposes well.

Ugh had a similar experience at work related to the chromium package. In our case it had to do with the arm64 build of chromium in an environment that can't run snaps (docker), so we were pretty much entirely without a solution.

My first non-family PC was a Acer netbook with Linpus [Lite] Linux. I was 12, so my first priority was trying to get Rollercoaster Tycoon to work. Eventually I realized how silly that prospect was and instead managed to install Windows XP via a bootable USB. I used XP for a while until Vista came out, and then I gave Linux Mint a try and really liked it. These days I'm using NixOS and Fedora.
