I'd build a Suicide Nuke Drone, it has a nuke strapped to it & flies to the target then dive bombs them & takes everything within 20 miles with it in a flash.

edit: I wrote this comment before watching the video.

I bought this a year ago & I just never got round to playing it, so many good games that support Linux & so few hours in the day. :D

There was nothing wrong with the Ouya, it's a pretty damn sweet little entertainment centre, I have one sitting on my desk right now, after they were bought out by Razor my account was killed so I can't use it at all for the moment, but once I can get back into it I'll be using it again.

Blizzard have a long history of stamping on this sort of thing with Very Large Legal Boots, they really hate the thought of anyone outside their "family" fiddling around with their precious code.

The Amazon searches & logging everything that moves in your system were/are both easily disabled & they made sure to let everyone know up front about how to do just that. Windows 10 on the other hand is 100% spyware to it's very core that can't be disabled.

ps how do you know those spy laden snaps did no harm? apart from mining bitcoin what were they doing? what data were they collecting from the infected machines? did removing the snaps remove the spyware or did it migrate to other parts of the infected systems? yes I know snaps are supposed to be isolated from the rest of the system but who actually knows that for sure & can prove it 100%?

After fighting Windows virii & spyware/malware over the years I've got to a point where I want an OS that I don't have to worry about that sort of thing, if Snap is going to bring that risk to Linux then I don't want it.

Kerbal Space Program still has it included, I deleted the RedShellSDK.dll from the GameData/Managed folder & the game still works.

Of the Total War games I'm only missing Warhammer 2 & Thrones, they will be added to my collection before long.

edit: And Red Shell is no longer in Kerbal Space Program.
