Dual boot has its own set of problems.. especially when used with Win10. Personally I would avoid it, it probably will result in headaches. My advice would be to setup a Linux VM and get the hang of it first. Mint is very easy to use and designed like a Windows environment, but there are some learni...

For XP no as it's a hacked version and doesn't connect to the net - mainly due to ease of installation and use, though I do have an XP key somewhere. But for Win7 I'm still using the product keys that came with old computers. The issue is one of them has decided to stop working (likely due to hardwa...

Yeah that tracks with project releases too - you get 1-10% of the playerbase reacting and providing feedback and the remaining percentage only leave a trace on the server logs.

Happy New Year, lurkers.

I stopped using Windows after I departed from Win7. I never liked Win8, and Win10 was the final nail in the coffin. I now exclusively use Linux and have done so for a while. But, I do have both XP and Win7 in virtualboxes for a few tasks that can only be done there. Not sure how much feedback you'll...

Merry Christmas

They went back AND yet they still made things look too advanced. OK, so the ship itself on the inside looks fine... but on the outside it's just the damn Akira class in with a slightly different configuration. They got their handheld Phasers in like the first episode! And the phase cannons a few epi...

I think it just came along at the wrong time, perhaps? It did have the air of VOY about it, similar musical composition and many of the stories are virtually identical to something you'd see in a VOY ep. Like SGU, it just wasn't appreciated during its time. That being said, ENT just gets better as t...

I've watched his entire playthrough, and to be honest.. I've started to hate the game even more than I did when I played it. There are some seriously annoying mechanics. But it's hard to ignore as it's probably the only decent DS9 game out there, plus its set in the later seasons which is arguably w...

Yeah, I do miss long seasons. I'm currently re-watching Star Trek Enterprise. Apart from that awful song, some of the supporting cast being a bit dull and a few mediocre eps, the first season is actually pretty good. It's a lot better than I remember it being.. or maybe I'm just enjoying a more rela...

Space Game Junkie is playing this. His experience so far seems pretty much like mine.

This is a full longplay (including training missions) of Freespace 2 using the FSOPEN enhanced engine. What can I say? This is one of the best space sims to have ever been made, and to be honest hasn't quite been rivaled since. There are some great games out there in this category, and a lot of othe...

Freespace - The Great War (also known as Descent: Freespace, Conflict: Freespace and FS1) is a game by Volition and published by Interplay in 1998. This was played on Linux using the FSPORT that is supplied with Freespace Open (installed using the handy Knossos tool). This is not a blind through of ...

Some more re-renders:

I finished Killjoys season 5. It was an OK season but an underwhelming ending. The main villain (The Lady) played by discount Greta Thunberg was annoying, but they didn't turn her into a cartoon villain at least and actually did something with the character - actually one my favorite tropes was used...
