About the theme...

I kind of find it hard to look at. I don't think I have colour blindness, but just for reference, this [External Link] might be worth a look.

Open source game engine for Morrowind 'OpenMW' to gain 'Distant terrain' in the next release
10 Apr 2017 at 5:11 pm UTC

People claim Morrowind is a better game than its successors, however I'd say it depends on what you're looking for in a game.

The combat system doesn't really work with the to-hit being a percentile roll calculated when your attack connects. That is combining the mechanics of a hack 'n slash game with the mechanics of a die-based RPG in the player's disadvantage.

There's articles on the web which go into greater detail, suffice it to say people have opinions.

Canonical drop the Unity desktop environment for Ubuntu favour of going back to GNOME
7 Apr 2017 at 1:34 pm UTC

Quoting: M@GOidPersonally, I always used KDE. But I find funny when people say Unity was a disaster, when the students in my lab never showed problems using it. Very easy to learn DE if you ask me.

I don't believe, for now, that what we will see in 18.04 will be a stock Gnome 3. I downloaded a ISO from Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 to check it out and my God, what a mess was that. It is too alien for a new user, make no sense for those who came from a traditional desktop Like Gnome 2 or KDE, exactly like the mistakes Microsoft did with Windows 8, but in a different form. And what STUPID thing to disable by default "tap to touch" option? Now I understand why people did fork the hell of Gnome 2.

With that said, I bet Canonical will put some make up in Gnome 3 to make it look like Unity. If not, they will loose more users than they already have.
+1

I never use .deb based distros for anything as I have a severe dislike of the package format, but last time I used Ubuntu (back in '13), Unity seemed to be working as well as I could possibly want.

I've tried to use GNOME 3, but I found I just can't. It just doesn't work for me the way KDE does (biggest difference is the multi-monitor support, which GTK simply can't seem to handle).

It's not just me, a lot of people I know who I put in front of a GNOME 3 box just don't take to it like they do to KDE. The only guy I ever met who did like GNOME was a JavaScript dev.

That says "tea". Is there a game about making tea? I dunno, maybe it's Alice: Madness Returns.

Hey buddy, that's a nice game you have there. Would be a shame if someone were to... revoke the keys, da?

*sigh* I know some people like GNOME, but I just can't stand the whole "you've got two buttons that show the menus containing all the things" thing. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I just like having a good old-fashioned menu bar.

We don't get good games because bad games don't sell well. That seems amazingly fair and even-handed.

Quoting: rea987My biggest problem with Crunchyroll is the region blocked content and Flash Player requirement for desktop users.
I use the plugin for Kodi and it works really well.

As someone who lives in Europe, CR is simply better than Funi, Hulu, or any of the other legal alternatives. And illegal stuff is illegal, so you shouldn't do it.
