Just picked it up today. Love Sam's store of useless items completely useless trinkets, lots of easter eggs to be had there.

Nice! I'll pick this up for the Linux First initiative alone. :D

Interestingly, there is already a "SpaceMerc" game, and it is also on Linux. It doesn't look like the two are related though.

Quoting: BeamboomJust do it, just for fun. What did you end up with?

A load of tech I don't want, and a big hole in my bank account. :P

Al least the monitors would be usable for day-to-day activities though.

Quoting: Liamthe entire kit will go for £919

Yeah, no thanks. I still remain unconvinced that this VR hype is anything more than a passing fad, I'm certainly not willing to splash that sort of cash on dedicated hardware to play VR games.

Don't worry, we bought a barbecue this weekend, so Second Winter will arrive in the UK shortly.

I wonder if this update pushes out the updated steam web helper shared objects which break the webhelper on non-debian systems...

I liked the old job system, but I'll adapt. Looks like I'll have to research lots of medicine tech to keep up with the germs change.

Poor gobbos, if the dwarves would just share in the first place, there would be no need for the constant wars between the two races. :'(

Quoting: WorMzyEDIT: I see it's a GTK3 application, which is disappointing. :(

Why is that disappointing?
I mean, I use like one KDE app. I expect when I click "install" in the software manager it pulls in like all of KDE, but who cares? My hard drive is partitioned, and nearly all of it is for /home because the actual system hardly takes up any room by comparison, and adding KDE stuff really makes hardly any difference and it's not like I have to manage the dependencies. So who cares?

I don't care about the disk space usage -- I have ~8TB storage attached to my main system, and 9TB on my backup NAS. What I care about is that GTK3 is an unstable and hideous mess of a toolkit. I won't have it on my systems.

It's disappointing that the dev(s) used it, but I'm sure they have their reasons.
