Even if you did find some way to fund and produce it, what corporate media empire is going to allow it on their network where more than a handful of people would ever see it?

You might only have ice-cold water during the spring if you're near a river that just flowed down from the mountains but even most well water is going to be much cooler than surface temperatures.

A tragic end that makes for another amazing story and history for your world.
In the next fortress if you meet another werecritter you better pause and take careful note of the combat log and any dwarf it attacked assign to a new squad and move them to a room and seal up the entrance until the next full moon.

Ocenaudio for audio editing. It's not FOSS but it's native, simple to use, and doesn't have backend library issues I kept having with audacity.

 

Pretty fun colony/resource game. It's a nice twist that you actually play as the computer in the ship instead of some ethereal colony director. Though it's pretty easy to start seeing your colonists as resources instead of beings you are supposed to protect, especially if you install the Asimov override chip..

Ah you're right, you can rebind camera movement but still have to click to move. At least it's not a game where fast action is needed, but hopefully they do add movement binds in the full game.

it's click to move to target. you can set WASD in control settings though I think

It's worth trying Dota2, you just have to be okay with losing a lot of your matches at the start until you learn the ropes.

I like to recommend Lina as a good hero to learn with, she has two strong AOE spells but can also build high regular attack damage. More importantly though her stun has a short delay which can really help you learn timing and predicting enemy movements. She's also a fairly squishy intelligence hero which can teach you safer lane positioning in the early game. She can be a strong mid but also a decent support or lane pusher depending on what your team needs.

While learning all the heroes is great in the long run I think it's best to stick with one hero until you get a feel for the game. After that any time you fight a hero that is dominating and feels completely broken just make it a point to try and play that hero next to learn its weakness.

Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tales version). Dude knows how to manage people and balance a budget. Sure he might occasionally get obsessed with some treasure in the middle east but that's no different than most presidents.

I only got infected once that I know of. I had trouble reading from a floppy disk and so I set scandisk running on it and went to get some lunch. When I came back there had been a short power out and when it came back on my machine had rebooted with the disk in it which ran on startup and infected the machine. Thankfully it was non-destructive and I was able to clean it out with tools I had on another machine.

Same here, it's less about the month to month technical changes and waaay more about general policy and major development decisions.

When I was like 7 my aunt got a new home made quilt for christmas and was proudly holding it up for everyone to see. All I could think was how fun it would be to run into that nice soft quilt. So I tried, and like the dumbest cartoon character my head bounced off it after smacking into the metal table right behind it.

At least there was no permanent damage, or so my imaginary therapist tells me.

 

I remember playing the original Windward and it was fun though it stopped getting updates before it could get really good. I tried the demo of this new sequel and it looks like it could be pretty fun.

I got through all the demo levels for this, not sure my brain can handle the full version yet but it was well designed.

 

Love to see more benchmark apps, the few we've had don't all get updated that often.

 

I only just discovered that efficiency modules work in biochambers to reduce nutrient cost! Such a game changer for Gleba.

 

Finally a new fortress mode update! Hopefully dfhack will follow soon.

 

This game plays like a top-down Terraria and is a lot of fun to play co-op. Great to see it's already sold a million copies on steam.

 
 

Disclaimer: I did some early QA work on this title. It's shaped up really well since then and is a lot of fun to play if you're at all into turn based tactics.
