Ubuntu 24.04 LTS comes out in a month. If this hadn't been spotted, it may well have made it into a major version used by a lot of servers and desktop users.

Friday now that they have the MGS Master Collection Vol. 1 out on Steam, you can finally play the first three Metal Gear Solids. ...and then wait an indeterminite amount of time before you can play Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain because they spoil Peace Walker, and you probably have to wait for them...

There's also SynIRC, which is where a lot of channels moved when the Pyoko IRC shut down, back in the day.

RPG Maker XP free on Steam.

remember that for the next 1,000 years there's going to be an entire genre of games called "metroidvania" because our collective dad was drunk and mashing words together. A lot of words probably have their root in a thing one guy said once. It's just rare that you happen to know the exact...

I mentioned it in the game deals thread, but Anbernic just released the RG35XX Plus , a Linux-based Game Boy form factor handheld which will emulate platforms up to PSP and Dreamcast. It's a slightly beefier version of the RG35XX, adding Wi-Fi, a bigger battery, and a more powerful CPU. I don't have...

Small correction: Olaf's glide, Baelog's bow and Erik's ram were already in the first Lost Vikings.

Fun fact: The company who made Lost Vikings was called Silicon and Synapse, who would later go on to be better known as Blizzard. There are a few Lost Vikings references in World of Warcraft.

For gamedevs, Kenney Game Assets All-in-1 is free for the next 20 hours.

Perhaps it's using file dates to determine what to copy. It's plausible that for some reason it's not updating the file date correctly when it copies. You can add the -c to use checksum instead of date. Alternatively, you may need -t or -a to preserve the date of the copied file.
