Yeah, I'm not sure. Maybe my ship's sensors can't detect heat to that degree.

Have you gotten to Sag A* yet?
Well, it is a remaster. The game has been graphically overhauled.Replacing textures is not remastering. Neither is adding a couple of shiny graphical effects.
Not if you haven't already gotten it for free on steam. Also, it's not a remaster, it's a 64-bit port. The word "remastered" isn't even in the name.
You get it free? Why?

I've never seen the show, but just from reading the synopses on Wikipedia and articles like these, I can tell I'd hate it. I kind of already hate it, actually. It comes across as the smug ramblings of a hipster edgelord with nothing insightful to say. Game shows are bad, mmkay? Smartphones are bad, mmkay?
So I bought this game. I have nothing to install it on yet, but I have bought it, since Rushy mentioned the price will go up later.
Once I've moved all my important shit across to my new laptop, I intend to install Windows on this computer and give it a spin. The graphics card might be a bit of a letdown, but at least then I'll know if I like the game and if it's worth spending money on better hardware.For whatever reason, the FES' video embedding ignores start times.
I'll see about fixing that when I have a moment.
But if Bethesda's two Fallout titles are enough to show a pattern, then it looks like they don't want to begin a game with the PC already established in the post-war world. We're always going to have to play as the naïve newcomer who's just emerged from a vault, and I don't understand why.
The narrative benefits of having the player character be clueless are obvious - it ensures that it's always natural for the PC to ask about anything happening in the game world and using it as a device to educate the player in the process. If your character is an already established part of the world and you have them ask who some important figure is or where to go, you'd have to wonder, "why doesn't my character already know this?"
... What else would they use? Using any Linux distro as a front end enterprise solution is a disaster waiting to happen.Do elaborate.
Give me one example of a large corporation or government system that uses Linux as a front end interface at an enterprise level.
I vote to annex France.
