Quoting: mcphailI've put up a 3.0 version of the snap. If you experience bugs or problems, please blame me in the first instance rather than the mod authors! You can raise issues at https://github.com/mcphail/boa/issues [External Link] and I'll do my best to help.

Thanks to Tormentor667 and the rest of the team for a great game!
Thanks for packaging it up! Runs perfectly on my system without issue.

An enterprise partnership with Microsoft, to bring native Microsoft Active Directory integration with the support for Microsoft SQL server, deployed on-prem or through the Azure Marketplace
An Active Directory, to help developers manage workstations through configure system settings, directly from an AD domain controller
Now I just need to convince my org's head of security that I should be able to use Ubuntu instead of Win 10...

Take a look at some differences in the upcoming Total War: ROME REMASTERED

I wish that I enjoyed these Total War games more since I've purchased so many of them wanting to support Feral's porting. Maybe it's time revisit and give them a second chance.

Play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory with the new release of ET: Legacy

This and bzflag were the first games I played on Linux. Apparently bzflag is still being developed, but looks the same as it did in the 90s. Crazy that this can run on a Raspberry Pi--it barely ran well enough to be playable on the brand new PC I had when it was released.

Quoting: fagnerlnThis reminds me that I never finished the tutorial on Driver 1... lol

I played San Francisco which is a good game, but it's boring
Holy shit, that MANDATORY tutorial was so difficult. It didn't help that there were no real instructions on how to perform the required stunts to get past the tutorial within the time limit. It got fun after that...

bpytop might be the freaking-coolest way to monitor your Linux system

Quoting: slaapliedjeI was going to ask how this is different from bashtop, as they both look pretty.
Looks like it's the same person who was developing bashtop. This is a quote from their GitHub that Liam touched on:

It's a lot faster and about a third as cpu heavy and has more features, including:
  • Mouse support

  • Toggleable mini mode

  • More customization

  • Graphs for memory consumption

It's also a lot easier for me to bug fix and it's the project I'm actively working on, so please try to migrate to bpytop.

Nice! I've been using Bashtop (which is great) and this looks like it includes a bunch of improvements on it. Bashtop is arguably a better/catchier name, though. It's extremely useful to use over a terminal SSH session.

Humble Choice for October is up with all 12 games for Premium and Classic subs

I keep forgetting to suspend my subscription and have accrued a lot of rather meh games the past few months. Going to remember to skip this month! Already have Sunless Seas and lots of the Tropico games, so I'm good.

Get an early look at the Million Dollar Highway in American Truck Simulator - Colorado

Colorado is pretty spectacular looking and they seem to have captured it well. They're going to continue to get my money with all of these damn DLC.

When some of my friends who do not play video games at all found out that I play a truck sim, they decided it was going to be a running joke and I get soooo much grief for it. Whatever. It's probably the most relaxing game I've played.

well it'll run on Windows instances [External Link], so that's a unfortunate.
