<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> I&#39;m still hoping that the artist is still around and re-does it 🤷‍♀️😔</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@deech" class="u-url mention">@<span>deech</span></a></span> Plus making computing &quot;education&quot; so infantile that the most kids can see right through it and want nothing to do with it.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@cfbolz" class="u-url mention">@<span>cfbolz</span></a></span> OMG. The second invasion of Germany by the vandals. The sacking of Düsseldorf.</p><p>(That was seriously cool utility box art.)</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> Additionally, if someone wants to install multiple pieces of software at once, they can go on packagepicker.co and pick up what they want from the limited pool, the site will then generate a single command to run on the terminal (obligatory disclaimer to always be cautious of random scripts on the internet)</p><p>It&#39;s conceptually similar to Ninite on Windows</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> I tried GemRB a couple of years ago but got the impression that it still wasn&#39;t a good experience, but still a curious experiment. </p><p>The worst part was how unstable it was, causing frequent crashes more often than the original game engines. This would be one of the most desirable traits, improved stability and crash management like you get with OpenMW (The Morrowind open source engine project).</p><p>Has it gotten better? I can&#39;t seem to find any recent gameplay or reviews of it.</p>

Every resource with accurate history, climate or gender science, etc., etc. has to be maintained beyond theborders of the US.</p>
