Oh wow. I used to have Legend of the Green Dragon installed on my website. It used to get a surprisingly decent number of players! It's still a thing, too. http://lotgd.net/home.php [External Link]

Oh man! I recently picked up Vampire Survivors. It really gets the heart racing when you are being chased by a horde!

I didn't even realise there were others, but of course there are. TikTok adverts are showing off a mobile rip-off which seems to be doing very well financially off in-game purchases! Seems to be this year's Minecraft :D

The version number on Ubuntu really depends on what release you're on. https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-22809 [External Link]

Because the Ubuntu security team backport patches to older releases, the release number may look way older than the one released by upstream. This is normal.

This is probably why Pop shows 1.9.9 if it's based off Jammy, where 1.9.9-1ubuntu2.2 is the patched version, as you can see from the changelog. http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/s/sudo/sudo_1.9.9-1ubuntu2.2/changelog [External Link]

Sadly it doesn't work. The loading screen / menu appears. I can launch into a new game. But textures don't load. So the initial video of you on the plane is just a white screen. Then when you have to swim there's blue / black / white blotches. Like this. https://imgur.com/a/fIoopdR [External Link]
