Played this for quiet a while and it has been a great experience. However the native Linuxversion is crashing on startup if i run the game on my desktop.

This is caused by the KDE Plasma Wayland session. The games 7days to die has the same problem since it is based on Unity3D as well.

As a workaround i have to run the game with OpenGL instead of Vulkan.

Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

Ouch, Adventure Gamers website owner sold it, and now it's basically a site to advertise gambling.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

The fact it doesn't count as illegal impersonation if, after being sold, they behave as if they're the same people behind the name is just immoral as fuck. Fuck this whole economical systemโ€ฆ
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Sounds like they're morphing into another slophole like the sites being paid for "SEO juice", covered by Stephanie Sterling of The Jimquisition many years ago.
IIRC it basically meant/means to have slop "articles" on your site with some legit inline links for cover and then some other inline links to gambling garbage sites to boost those sites' SEO through manipulating search crawlers.
Though I'm not sure that method would even work anymore in the age of so-called "AI"-crawlers.

Bristolians' help needed!

Bit of a longshot perhaps, but my daughter is off to Bristol in September to study for the SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) and will be in need of accommodation.

She's studious, clean and tidy, sociable but not a habitual party animal. Total ally, but is in her early 20s and has all the absolute certainty about societal ills which comes with that.

She will pay her rent, on time, and pull her weight. She won't cover her stuff with name labels or leave passive-aggressive notes on the fridge.

If anybody has any insights into the (slightly more mature) student accommodation in Brizzle, a room to rent or even an offspring in a similar position, with whom to join forces, please drop me a message.

BOOSTS TREMENDOUSLY APPRECIATED!

a couple of Christmases ago the whole family went round to my brother's house, and he and his wife went all out - decorations, games, Santa footprints in icing sugar, the works.

When we were leaving I asked my niece what her favourite bit of Christmas was, and she said excitedly "When the cat did a poo on the stairs"

in reply to Jules

Years ago, when my son was still in primary school, we were doing the usual teatime catch-up on the kids' day, somewhat on autopilot.

Him: "This morning we had maths"

Us: "Oh good, you like that"

"Then this afternoon we had PE"

"Uh-huh. Yes, yes"

"And we saw a plane crash"

"Lovel- wait, WHAT?"

It turned out that a light airplane had ditched in a field about a mile away, and the kids had all been in the playground and seen it fall out of the sky.

It's a huge part of family folklore that he considered this the third most interesting thing he'd experienced that day.

this is really great, thanks for sharing. And well done. Shauna was lucky to find you.

Is it possible to create a calendar event for a video conference (some time in the future) and set it to "send an email with a link to the video conference to the participants of the event"?
