Ubi porting a game to linux? Nonsense.
(I hope you're right tho lol...)
(ugh which is not true, just checked steam, they have 3 games on linux...)
(huh most weird experience today lol...)

Yeah, none of those are uplay games though. They also have several titles on GOG.com (Assassin's Creed 1 included), no uplay of course.

I'm not expecting any uplay titles on Linux, so I was just joking (since the infamous Sade was known to have been a patient in that hospital).

About AC: As 'games' they're mediocre at best; and as to story & writing they've jumped the shark many, many times over. But just for the environments, and the 'virtual tourism' they enable me to do, I absolutely love them.

I'm sure I'd be great at this game.
Considering that my life is itself a monumental failure, it should be a breeze.

Quoting: wvstolzingYou guys are so naive... It's not an ordinary trademark; it's a stylized version of the emblem of the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. These poor developers found themselves in the middle of a TEMPLAR conspiracy. Fortunately, they don't seem to have alerted the Illuminati yet.

... or have they? :S: :woot:

Pendantry: Isn't the red cross actually a stylized version of the emblem of the Knights Hospitaller, the Templars' foes/rivals?

Pendantry? That's the kind of cross you wear around your neck.
I don't think the Red Cross is related to the Knights Hospitaller; it's just a Greek cross (arms of equal length).

Yes, but did you ask anything? You were supposed to ask anything -- and before submission, hit the any key on your keyboard.

Quoting: silmethThey should just use the Star of Life [External Link], which is pretty much universal ambulance marking today.

The mere existence of the Star of Life shows that the Red Cross can be pretty touchy about the sign. Also, the emergency doctors and medics I know, who also do not want to be associated with the Red Cross, and prefer the Star of Life sign.

Says the guy whose avatar looks like Anton LaVey.
So many layers of conspiracy, I'm getting dizzy ... first the Knights Templar, now the Church of Satan. Oh no!

Quoting: wvstolzingThis reminds me of the exercises in this book: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/elements-computing-systems [External Link]

This seemed super interesting to me, but then I saw that the required software requires Java… :(

I haven't had any issues running them with the stock 1.7 runtime (wherever it comes from; I forget now) in the openSUSE TW repos; I haven't had to tinker with anything (like customizing launcher scripts).

Quoting: ivantYou start working for Microhard, an obvious pun on Apple Microsoft, a company which tries to disrupt the CPU business in the 1980s.

That's kinda odd. Why not 'bintel', or 'HARM', or something that pokes fun at CPU designers/manufacturers?

Quoting: GoboTrust your technolust!

There is a MOOC (Computation Structures) on edX.org by MIT that seems the perfect formal background for this. You'll be introduced to CMOS and build your own cpu as well. But games are always more fun ;)

Thanks, this looks like a great website.
I think these are the most relevant links:
