The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadow lengthen
In Carcosa.

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa."

As a #Windows user, what make you stay even though #Microsoft is spying on you and fill your OS with bloat and ads.

Moved completely to #Linux, #Nobara a month ago and it has been such a nice ride. Everything just works, not like my previous experience from Linux 20 years ago!
Less bloat, no Microsoft that spy on my stuff and my computer run faster. Freedom!

Settle the World

One of the better 4x games I have played in a long time! Fun retro project made for the Amiga (AmiBlitz3 language).

I feel sad that people continue to support #nintendo even when they are one the worst companies in #gaming these days. It is a problem that we don't own our software but now we don't own our hardware either. We need to stop predatory business practices now!

I really need to get my 1880 copy to the table! Been too little #18xx the last two years. Maybe time to find players online instead again.

Stars!

Think it is time to make a game recommendation again!

If you like space #4x and #async #multiplayer.

Then check out the fan made Stars! version that is played over browser. Works well on phone now as well!

An acquaintance, often wearing flamboyant clothes told me he had been beaten up by some young men because he "looked gay" ☹️ I have been laughed, ridiculed and threatened by other men on the street as well. I can handle myself but can we please try not to hate and beat up people that look different?!

Sometimes it feels like I write write and write. The quality is sure getting better but it also feels like i am still so far away from being done with the thesis.

It's lovely to be back playing Emperor of the Fading Suns. When released in 1997, it was really innovative but also filled with bugs. Years later, one of the original designers got the game back and have now fixed old issues!
Still one of the better 4x ish games.

Good luck and don't give up today! Show them, and don't stand down until things change! We are many outside of US who know that there are many in your country that still have honor, decency, and the ability to think for yourself! #resist 5 of April #USA
Change is possible!

Just skimmed through Black Powder and Brimstone. While I have loved the art of Mörk Borg, Pirate Borg and Cy-Borg this was a real disappointment. The rules are basically the same but just made characters more survivable (something that I feel does not fit the game).

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so
President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

In a few days time there will be a re-release of Emperor of the Fading Suns with updated mod support and a lot of nice updates. It's a labor of love and worth some support.
