Mint is not Ubuntu, thanks awfully.
Meanwhile, waitaminute, Windows 10 is rising? How does that work? Are we talking rise in Chinese language (which I'm imagining is more likely to use probably-pirated Windows 10)?

Not so many lighthouses left to track, these days. They keep phasing them out, replacing with automated systems. It's kind of melancholy.

. . . OK, OK. What's a lighthouse tracking system?

I was thinking "Whoa, the animation seems really stiff". But then I read that it was rotoscoped. And I thought about the movement a bit more and yeah, it doesn't feel like bad-animation stiff. It feels like stiff actors. Like when a guy gets shot and falls down, it's like when you tell someone "OK fall down now" and they carefully fall down in this very controlled way.
Might still be quite a good game. But that did sort of stand out to me.

I like the first one. Definitely interested to see what the second will be like.

Well, they say lots of impressive stuff. But the line between "We did great innovations but kept the good stuff" and "We screwed up the good stuff and kept the bad" is surprisingly fuzzy and difficult to find in this kind of game. We'll see how it actually works out . . . hoping for the best.

Wow . . . nostalgia for times that never existed is pretty common, but you don't often see people explicitly saying that's what they're doing. :grin:

@rhavenn Just to be clear, Mint is an Ubuntu derivative but it does not use Snaps. So these things don't necessarily go together.

At the back of one of Jasper Fforde's "Thursday Next" books there is an ad that goes "Visit the People's Republic of Wales! Not always raining."
I hope your luck was good!
