Alpha Centauri

I still have no idea why they just let the IP drift into oblivion, and chose to keep milking Civ instead…

Sorry about the Vice source, but it does publish the letter in full, complete with links to the problematic Guardian articles.

Ok. Rub teeth against doorknob. Got it. Thanks!

They’re just mystery meat with herbs, rolled in crumbly pastry.
The mystery is part of the fun… Is it beef, pork, or roadkill? We don’t care!

If they meant paszteciki, it looks like what the anglosphere knows as a sausage roll?

Yes. IIRC it’s based on latest LTS kernel with Google patches. So it’s been “year of the Linux phone” for a while now.

It’s unfortunate that the slop they put on top of it is such a privacy nightmare. PostmarketOS is trying to change that and supports Plasma, Gnome, etc. But it’s early days yet and still rough around the edges from what I’ve been reading.

SPAAACE!!

Forza Horizon, on the other hand, are actually quite fun.

just worlds to run around in

Which, ironically, was why I only played the main quest in Starfield vanilla. Running around empty, boring planets, with copy-pasted dungeons (there’s only, what, 10 varieties?), felt like nothing but a colossal waste of time.

So glad I didn’t pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).

I just checked and nearly choked. I’ve played every single Civ game ever made. As much as I love the series, there’s no way in hell I’m paying AU$160 for a base game.
