Thanks for the heads up, got the game!

(Also, I seriously can't believe Alien Day came and went and I didn't get a single card or carnation!)

How-to: upscale old games on Linux

Quoting: Dunc(I'm seriously considering going back to a CRT.

Yuck! Don't get me started on CRT's.

I used to lug around a 19" behemoth for LAN parties during my teenage years in the late 1990's. It was terrible, after a few months I actually started to develop muscles.

God what an embarrassment that was. Jocks asked where I worked out. Girls started to notice me. My D&D group refused to speak to me.

I had to lie prostrate for weeks doing absolutely nothing to get back to my sleek spaghetti like physique and nerd cred.

Praise $DEITY for lightweight electronic equipment that's measured in grams.

Stylish top-down rally game 'art of rally' has a demo up now for you to grind some dirt

This has been on the top of my wishlist for a while. I only tried two runs, but so far it shows a lot of promise. Also, just look how cute those bite-sized rally cars are! <3

Wonder if it will support custom cars so I can create a little Baas 99 Turbo and beat Stig Bloomist?

I had DK2 sitting in the shopping basket, didn't pull the trigger on it yesterday. It's on sale today.

Procrastination does pay off! Wonder what else I can put off for profit?

Patching the game to the latest version might help, but maybe you already tried that?

To get around the hard lock, try using software rendering with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
