Might just be the thing to cheer me up when I feel like suffering from social distance :grin:

No, the "fragmentation" isn't a bad thing. Think of it in terms of innovations, if only one thing is allowed, will we ever actually get progress?

I mean look at multi-desktop as a good example.
That started as a friendly competition between window managers in the 90's. And then two decades later the first commercial (and inferior ito usability) clone of it appears.

I can't imagine being productive without that feature, for example.

So, keep the fragmentation, keep the ability to choose, because without choice life will be oh so dreary.

I never knew about this. The original kickstarter was funded for a very low amount, but this looks very good.
I added it to my Steam Wishlist :grin:

What play button have you been clicking on lately?

Feels like my answer hasn't changed in the last 5 or so of these questions.
I'm still playing OpenMW. I have sunk more time into Morrowind (again) than I think I sunk into both Oblivion and Skyrim. It actually has a very good story line/lore, and there are so many excellent mods that add so much.

No, that's a UHD605, which is a about 1/5 the performance of a UHD620. It's also a quad core ATOM. the "N<number>" is a give away.

What have you been playing on Linux? Come and have a chat

I'm still just busy playing OpenMW. It's really a good game.

Quoting: LinasThere is a huge resistance to Linux adoption in workspace IT support departments. Most places I have seen it's either completely forbidden to run Linux on your work machine or "don't ask, don't tell" kind of situation where you get zero support if something goes wrong. Software is bought and deployed without any consideration for Linux compatibility making it a minefield to navigate through as a Linux user. My direct boss literally pretends not to know that I run Linux, saying that I run "a more exotic kind of setup" if asked by the IT guys. :grin:
Sounds like my last 15 years of work... :whistle:

Happy Birthday great site!
:-)

And Thank you for running with it for so long Liam. I'm sure it must have been tough at times.

Quoting: Dunc
Quoting: grigiFor me it;s OpenMW 0.46 + a few mods.
I haven't played Morrowind in... a decade?
And I have to say, it's way more fun than Skyrim. The music in particular aged exquisitely.
Just the peoples faces/some clothes... Yech!
Yeah, KOTOR looks like LA Noire in comparison, and it's very nearly as old. :) A good character model replacement mod would be a godsend.
Indeed. better bodies introduces bizarre bugs (and changes the looks too much), and the other "good" character replacement mod (forgot the name) got removed for using copyrighted assets. So I just live with it.
Strange how some faces/bodies looks decent, and some just... ugh.
