This is brilliant and inspiring. I’m so thankful for people like this, using their skills for the benefit of everyone.

I kind of like it. I say bring it back.

If we all started using it, þen sooner or later it would start showing up in AI generated answers.

There’s quite a lot needed from peripheral manufacturers, regarding drivers and utilities. You still can’t, for example, just buy any new printer or scanner - you have to check compatibility first.

Good work, thank you :)

Before games had full epic soundtracks, you still got quality “intro tracks”, occasionally with a few other songs for whilst you’re playing.

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe intro music (youtube link)

From the same Atari ST/Amiga era: Chaos Engine, Frontier Elite 2, Xenon 2 Megablast, Syndicate Wars

For newer stuff with “full soundtracks”, you can’t beat Stellaris OST (youtube link)

Nuggan Mastercard has decided the following things are abominations, and are therefore unacceptable to sell:

Cats, the colour blue, oysters, mushrooms, chocolate, garlic, cheese, the smell of beets, jigsaw puzzles, and rocks

…and if you make a new post about the same issue, they say “this has been asked before. Search the forum. Locking this thread” :D

Rest assured that sometimes only half the text gets pasted.

It may be worth having a look at the Proton issues github page for it if you’ve not already - though the only report I could see that sounded like your issue was the (currently unresolved) thing about it not running with DXVK, but running with terrible performance in WineD3D - they apparently got it running properly through Lutris with Wine GE 8.26.

Can the AI determine if I’m just uploading photos of Kier Starmer as my ID?

They exist. Go on a Steam discussions page for a popular game that doesn’t currently support Linux, and create a new post politely asking about the possibility of Linux support.

I think everyone’s got the CAD/3D programs covered, so a slightly “out there” answer:

If you’re just doing 2D blueprints for yourself, do you actually just need a 2D vector program for doing a scale drawing with measurements?

I’ve done a lot of floorplans / layouts/ site maps etc using Inkscape, for instance.

It depends on exactly what you’re wanting out the other end - so you may be lacking a lot of the features in a full CAD program, but the learning curve is comparatively so shallow that you might have a working plan by the end of the day, rather than the end of the month.

I’m a big fan of this one. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, Space Haven etc. Seems to be in committed and constant development for both content and bugfixes.
