I shaved my chin and weak-ass sideburns so I had a horseshoe moustache. Just as a joke to go show my partner. She said “It’s good you should keep it like that”. so now I’m a horseshoe moustache man.

I’ve been daily driving cosmic for 6 months and it’s worked great. I guess if you’re trying unconventional stuff you might get into breaking it, but otherwise you’ll just find some minor annoyances.

I’m using popos but I’m not sure what kind of advice you need. You use apt to update and not Pacman. If you want to play windows games I recommend a combination of Heroic and faugus. This isn’t necessarily pop specific though.

I only want to play 2 because that’s what I had back then, the PC port. I know I can play just the 2 stuff in the remake but didn’t know if it’s lost the charm.

I get it. No, I misunderstood and thought this was software for Mac.

Should this be posted in an Apple/Mac group then? Feels like you’d get better response that way?

If you were wanting to play thps2, would you recommend this over the remake from a few years ago?

Trials of mana. It runs nicely but sucks the battery down, only get a little over an hour.

I’ve also just been playing Luanti (voxelibre, Asuna, mineclonia) a bit because my daughter is learning to play it on her computer and wants me to lan play with her but I have no idea what these games are about.

Ubuntu feels a bit slow, the snaps I think is that problem as they launch slower. But Ubuntu-based distros don’t use snaps (Mint, popOS).

There are also Ubuntu-based distros that don’t use gnome (Mint, popOS).

There are also non-Ubuntu distros that do use gnome. There’s people who like gnome and people who don’t, but it’s not “bloat” and it’s not limited to Ubuntu.

This was it for me too, until I got into 2010 era RoH. I could easily get the DVDs locally.

My kids birthdays, and for our state election to be over

Shadowrun (Sega version) - one of the best RPGs of all time

Grim Dawn - I was a big Diablo 2 guy, and this is the next step up

Chronotrigger - probably my favourite RPG

Terraria - just a treasure of a game and fun for lan coop

Deus Ex - my favourite game of all time

Final Fantasy 6 - perfect example of what was good about the SNES

Sonic 3 and Knuckles - there’s a lot of excellent 8 and 16 bit platformers, this one is edging out some tough competition from Shinobi 3

KKnD - I’m going back to my PC roots in real time strategy, and I’m going with an old favourite that never lets me down when I go back to it

OpenTTD - I can (have) spent years building up a transport empire

Tyrian 2000 - the king of shmups

There’s definitely games I regret not being able to play again, but I’d be happy with this lot.

The Blue disembodied faces remind me of the old Joe Zombie flash animation.

I didn’t hate it, bit it was weird and as a teenager in the 90s with nothing but a really sketchy translation of the script I had no idea what it was.

They bought the card system back for a DBZ RPG on the Nintendo DS. Can’t remember what the game was called, but I had fun with it. It got panned pretty hard for the weird mechanics but I kind of knew it from my time with the Super Famicom game. Check that one out if you’re keen, but it definitely plays differently, more like moving around a board game.

This card system comes up in most of the DBZ rpg of the time. The most known being the SNES remake of the two games prior to this one.

It’s called Super Saiyan Densetsu I think. It was quite well known in the emulation/translation scene in the late 90s. And I hate to say it because you seem quite taken with the card system, but people generally disliked it then.

Budgie was started by Ikey Doherty for Solus. So quick background on Ikey, he does things because he thinks he has a better way of doing it, and he doesn’t do it for others so much as himself.

So we could probably say Budgie came about because Ikey wanted a desktop that suited him and his new (at the time) Solus project. And now it just goes on.

He’s at it again too. His work on Aeryn OS is all about building his own tools. He reinvents the wheel because it’s what suits him.

That corner spot is looking pretty sweet.

I usually sit right where that book and mug are in the picture, and I can just slide my way into the corner if I feel like.

The Grey Death virus, and the Ambrosia vaccine!, are controlled by UNATCO and billionaire Bob Page is making a play to take control of the world from the Illuminati

Sure. I thought you may be sharing news about some new ones.

What are the new ones?
