@gamingonlinux I've had a little play and it's very promising.

Worth pointing out that Elite Force didn't have the standard Voyager theme, it had something similar but still used the TV's title sequence.

As for the voiceover, I'm sure they plan to have them but the script will have to be locked in to get everything recorded in one go. It does suggest that they plan to have the original cast rather than soundalikes that they'll be able to have multiple sessions with.

Nice Fan Film of a scene from Hitch Hikers. Would love to see a full official series like this but I think the TV rights are tied with Disney/Hulu.

@gamingonlinux Been replaying RONIN after randomly flicking through our family Steam library for something for my son to play.

Obviously inspired by Gunpoint but the turn-based combat is it's own thing and can be very satisfying when you leap around the room, knocking guards into each other, slicing them up as they reload and grappling out the way as a techno-samurai flies at you and out the window to their death.

It's 80% off. I think I'll pick up the DLC.

@gamingonlinux My instinct is that most MPs just aren't going to understand any of this. However there has been a lot of younger blood since the last election and there are quite a few MPs who either identify as gamers or have enough knowledge of the industry to guide the debate.

The latest South Park is wild! Kristi Noem shoots a LOT of dogs.

@killyourfm Using quotes for emphasis; there's of course a subreddit for that.

@upmultimedia that said, I'm now going to have trouble sleeping thinking about your spiders.

@upmultimedia So glad the spiders in my country are too small to make any noise.

@nikitonsky I'm glad Libreoffice has stuck with it. I always get lost if I ever need to use any version of Word with the 'ribbon'

@killyourfm bowl of Cheetos on the right of the controller?

@gamingonlinux tempted to pick this up. I didn't play the original games but clearly remember the scathing review of Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff in PC Zone.

@killyourfm Ooh! Trackball!

@gamingonlinux Dungeon Clawler is very satisfying to play in short bursts but I stayed up way too late finishing a mission in Creeper World IXE last night.

@killyourfm I've had good luck finding delisted games for cheap on key selling sites. Got Duke Nukem Manhatten Project and Prey 2006 for only a few bucks. I checked out yours however and most of them are listed for silly money (Best deal for War for Cybertron is 463 euros!)

@killyourfm That looks like the Anbernic RG35XX in the bottom right.

I've ordered their new SP form factor version which should arrive soon. I never owned the GBA SP but the pocket-able clam-shell design speaks to me.

@killyourfm I feel you on number 1.
I had one idea to go through each and every one, play for at least an hour and write a review.

Hard mode would be to do it in alphabetical order.

@killyourfm Hoping for some guest stars and cameos in the Academy series.

Finally restored my #iPod 5th gen, inspired by @killyourfm

Went all black with the case. New screen and battery and a 64GB CF card for storage. Dumped my #Bandcamp collection as FLACs on there to run through #Rockbox

@killyourfm I feel left out. I think I've only ever had a couple of bits of spam on Masto and at the time I thought "yeah, we're a real social platform now!"

Perhaps I should run my own instance and be the one in charge of blocking it all. The instance I'm on is perhaps too good.

@killyourfm I've dug out my 5th gen and started speccing upgrades.

Obviously I'm gonna replace the drive with flash memory and the batt with a fresh one.

I'm tempted to get a new casing in some funky colours. But the screen has dead lines of pixels which unfortunately doubles the cost of renovation and as the faceplate is in pretty good condition I might hold off on that.

I bought this thing second hand back in 08 specifically to run Rockbox on it, I never used the Apple firmware.
