Jokes aside, actually without pollinators and wind or animals to distribute seeds, plants would not spread on their own regardless of other favourable conditions.

Once you've increased the atmosphere to Earth-like pressures, there's gonna be wind. :wink: Though it's a good point about animal-based seed spreading…clearly the solution is to allow us to introduce animals to start spreading plants about the planet faster! :grin:

I heard taking some thousand *inserthighlypopulatedcountryhere* people with brushes could work as well. ;)

So I need to downgrade to Linux(*) 2.x? :tongue:

(*) which, as we all know, is the kernel

Quoting: tuubiNot challenging? So it's a modern tribute to Myst for those who didn't actually like the Myst series? :tongue:

I tried to express something along these lines but failed, mainly because I didn't actually play Myst. I got the impression that it was hard in some... unpleasant way. So references to Myst are actually putting me off, though I do like hard puzzlers.

Quoting: slaapliedjeIndeed! After that it basically lasts forever. I'd had the same install for years and years, and the only reason I re-installed was due to going from 32bit to 64bit... and even then, there was a way to upgrade that way, it was just kind of a pain. But I've had the same install on my server since then.

I had given up my old Debian install after, dunno, 15 years or so, because the X server couldn't cope with a very outdated config file entry. I'm still not sure if it was luck or bad luck that I only found out afterwards. I guess a fresh install every decade is ok. ;)

Quoting: slaapliedjeTo be fair, the only things I do after a debian install to make it 'gaming ready' are the following

Yes!

... and happy 6 years cake day!

Quoting: DuncThe thing is, you can only play it for the first time once.

A fate it shares with Amnesia Rebirth or Life is Strange 2. I think both are better than the respective first parts, but I find it hard to judge as... yeah, it's not the first time again.

I've seen the web comics, but I didn't know the name so I wasn't aware this is connected. Nice!

I accepted a copy for our Steam curator "Hidden Linux Gems". I did play it for some hours, but don't find it "gemmy" enough. Now I think I should at least pay for my copy...

So I'll buy a copy for the first one to answer here (must be registered user for at least one month).

Quoting: JaredThat sounds terrific. Linux would be finally getting proper CFI support.

I'm probably not the only one not to know...

Quoting: Eike"What's your favourite store to buy a game?"
[ ] Steam
[ ] GoG
[ ] Humble
[ ] Itch.io
[ ] 3rd party Steam key sellers
[ ] other

How about a checkbox instead of a radio button? Because I'm not buying only in one store, though there might be the most favorite one.

How could you not recognize my ASCII art checkboxes?!? :D

This - obviously! :p - is what a radio button looks like:

Quoting: CorbenBut if the question would be more like: where did you buy games in the last month? And then you select the stores you used to buy something. And with buy I mean actually paying money, not grabbing the free EGS game. This could reflect if a store became suddenly interesting, because of an exclusive has been released (e.g. Stadia).

Yes, but it would have the problem the WINE question had back in the days: It would need frequent updates by the users, which most people probably won't do.
