Oh no, don't go giving them any ideas ;)
You are in the UK, you will be a fine. It was quite a shock for my employer's father when he first moved to Canada from England and left his hives unguarded.

Strangely enough I was too busy actually beekeeping in September so this slipped my notice back then.

It's simply wonderful as you run around collecting and breeding bees to build up an apiary ... being completely charmed by its wonderful non-violent gameplay that sees you keep an eye on one of nature's most important insects.

Just for reference, I already own the Royal Edition of Pillars of Eternity. Is there any difference between that and the Definitive Edition?

I don't make the rules, but my opinion would be that day-to-day active virtualization should count as dual-boot but also you shouldn't count it as a dual-boot if you just briefly touch a Windows system. So if it's just a matter of setting up a phone and you aren't actually using that XP system for anything else, I wouldn't count it.
Especially since this is a gaming oriented survey and you are not using the VM for gaming.

I actually needed the reminder to change my hardware information for once. So thanks. :wink:

So on a whim I decided to try launching Requiem on the Fedora 31 partition I installed last fall to play around with GNOME and Wayland and I was, at long last, actually able to play through the entire expansion without a single crash. I am also not seeing any crashes with Overture and Black Plague when playing the games on Fedora as opposed to with Arch now. Which is strange, as I can remember testing the games on Fedora before I wrote this article.

All I can think of is that I have changed my graphics card since then?
