Wow I haven’t thought of destiny of an emperor in decades. One of my childhood friends had a copy and let me borrow it. It took forever but I managed to beat it. Box art was weird but cool.

I played Civilization for years. When Civ 5 came out, I was incredibly psyched. I specifically went to PAX one year just so I could get new information on the game. When I finally played it, it was the biggest disappointment of my gaming life. It just doesn’t feel like any of the previous ones. Civ 6 is way better in almost every way.

I’m wary of Civ 7 though. How can they improve upon the game without adding minigames or breaking it into insane amounts of DLC eg. Stellaris? I probably won’t pick it up until it’s on a steam sale with all its DLC at 50% off or something stupid.

There are other games like Hacker Evolution but none that are Hollywood-esque like Uplink

TIL

You’re right, it’s not that difficult of a game. I just have never successfully gotten as far as I had this time. I’ve also never beaten the storyline part of the game.

Sadly I don’t believe there is a mobile version. It hasn’t been updated in forever, hence me posting in RetroGaming.

I was on one of the missions to ruin someone’s life and got caught somehow. My guess is I forgot to wipe logs somewhere or was too slow when adding a fake crime to their profile in the GCD.

I managed to steal 1,000,000 from some poor sucker this time. Transferred all their cash to my own account, wiped the logs on both sides, and then fast forwarded a couple days. Figured I was in the clear and then made a stupid mistake trying to incriminate someone.

Uplink is -kind of easy- up until a certain point. Then it’s all about timing.

Looked down at my printer and realized it was a Brother. Didn’t have to do anything special, it just worked.

FTL sucked me in for a few years. I still have yet to get the crystal cruiser

The haters will tell you Ubuntu sucks. Every distro has pros and cons. Use whatever you feel comfortable with, and if you feel like trying something else, do it!

No Metal Gear??

What in the actual fuck

I switched to Ubuntu 22.04 on 2023-12-31. I had used a bunch of other distros back in 2008-2012, then got tired of manually tweaking things constantly. Things have come a long way and there are way more options to make things work. I don’t have to spend hours on the CLI or reboot frequently.

So yeah, I’m going to stick with Ubuntu for a bit, then switch to something else.

Yeah, well it works for me.

Ubuntu 22.04 server. It works well enough for my purposes and until it doesn’t I don’t see a reason to switch distros.

I always thought they were parallel universes or the same one on an endless time loop with infinite variations
