Something about taking prostitutes on voyages across the sea in the olden days. You'd romance her under the cannons and the bastard child would be a "son of a gun". I don't remember where I learned this so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: I looked it up and got some details wrong, but pretty close

You make a good point. Still, I think it depends. I can see a multi-millionaire caring more about their $50 than the average person. 60k on 1.1mil is more than 5%. And when your primary goal is to gather as much wealth as possible, that matters - that's 60k that isn't making them more money, plus time for construction that delays making more money on the investment.

Ask if there's any history of water damage or flooding - it looks like the garage would let water flow down into it. There are visible cracks near the roof. Important things to know to protect your "investment".

Also, please do follow up. I want to know how this goes.

You can get an entire album or discography now. Back then I remember getting random loose mp3s of artists I was interested in, dictated by how many seeds happened to be online. Not sure I would bring that back, but it did make for some deep cuts becoming my favourite songs and not just the well known "hits" from albums.

The most dramatic change is probably how easy it is to hear any of that music in a legit way, and hear it instantly.

I was hoping to see something about multiplayer connection. When it works it's great, but half the time I'll get "failed to connect", or the game will just crash when I get summoned / my summoned co-op player is spawned in. Is it just me? Playing on Steam

 

The developer is talented but lacks the confidence to complete their work. Out of desperation they resort to the 'easy way out' and develop demos to scam supporters with no intention of shipping a finished game. Can one supporter whose belief in them/blackmail be enough to change their ways and finish what will undoubtedly be a smash hit?

 

I sure don't feel safe just ignoring it, considering the frequency.

My Linux Mint Cinnamon won't boot up. It's getting stuck on this screen and I don't know what to do to proceed. Before this screen appears it shows the LM logo for a moment.

I'm a total noob and just been using this for a month or two. Did not make any recent changes that I can recall.

 

I'm learning as I go. Proud of getting some interaction with the environment working. Still lots of bugs to sort out, especially player and camera movement!

 

I always wanted to try this game when I was a kid. When checking out reviews on Steam I noticed someone mention that Sega was giving it away for free for their 60th anniversary (a few years ago), and that website is still up and running. Long story short, I tried it and it works. Replacing the localhost part of the URL was necessary as the screenshot mentions.

 

Among some friends I seem to be the odd one out who doesn't like heat and the sun. To me an overcast fall day, 10C is perfect. Rain is welcome if it does not overstay its welcome.

Found some in the woods yesterday and looked them up. Apparently the fruit is very tasty, resembling Starburst. Have you tried it?

Some more info on season/edibility: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uovfSkeyfbA

 

I tried a tiny taste and it was pretty neutral, not "grassy" at all. Might work well in a salad.

I didn't take any home since there was not much there and I'm not 100% sure on the ID.
