  1. Heh civ 1 was literally the first 3d game i played back in the commodore days . My taste was a bit different at that time so mostly some world builders and fantasy games. Later i threw in with doom hexen and quake and system shock then half-life and for some years the online offshots like quake 3 and counterstrike. Today im mostly into those with a good story to tell . I also played lots of diablo and wow and got quite a legend in one of the bigger wow guilds as a shaman. My char was named beefcan if any of you played that some 10 years back we probably meet.

  3. True, I have nothing but respect for Ross for at least giving it a go. I remember seeing in one of his videos how he said he didn't really want to necessarily spearhead this project, but he had to at least try something because he was getting more and more frustrated about seeing games die with no legal recourse for those who purchased them. His motivation was that no-one else was pursuing anything similar so he wanted to try himself and chose a particular window of opportunity (discontinuation of The Crew) as being the time to do it. He's also stated how even if the whole thing ends up going nowhere, he's at least satisfied he gave it his best go. Ross said he'd be more bothered if he didn't try something, basically. Even if the law doesn't change, this whole process might help provide some clarity in terms of what rights people have (or don't have).

  4. I'm happy to announce the release of my third FM: Year of the Rat. This is my first city hub map, focused primarily on story characters and environment. It's my most complex project to date, taking its fair share of effort to make which was a good learning experience. As an experiment I opted to use no scripts and rely solely on the default entities, as well as no custom assets apart from the map and splash screen hence the small pk4. It features a few special elements, such as factions that are hostile only when the player commits crime or a decoder lockpick used to open electronic doors. The beta testing thread can be found here, thank you everyone who helped find the most obvious problems. You play as a famous thief nicknamed Black Jack: A man who's pulled many crazy jobs in his life, only to be hired for an absurd and insulting task by an anonymous employer. The objective is pretty straightforward: Be kind to the mice and feed them some cheese! Your silly quest takes you to the Lantern Light district during the Lunar New Year celebration, a place where gangs and corrupt nobles do their dirty deeds together. What ulterior motives and unexpected twists could your adventure entail? While the most obvious problems were patched during beta testing, some issues can't be easily resolved due to the complexity of the entity setup and objectives, meaning you may encounter a few inconsistencies. Most notably surrounding AI, which may float above chairs and not react to alerts or oppositely send the whole map into a panic: This is mostly due to how the engine handles AI and alarms. The map is small since I wanted to add more detail without having to work on large areas, as such some places can feel cramped while the skybox may be visible up close. I'll be busy so further updates are unlikely unless I decide to add new content later... you're welcome to report any issues you encounter, but keep in mind that if something wasn't fixed it's likely known but difficult to address or due to engine functionality. Spoilers for objectives and secrets as follows: Download 1.2: Google Drive, Mega. Screenshots with minor spoilers for the various areas:

  5. Don't mean to be rude, but did you read the thread you linked to? It pretty clearly states (1) the hash is for the self-update process, and isn't intended for manual checking, and (2) if you do want to check it yourself, you can use the command line tool b2sum (on my Debian system this is installed by default as part of the coreutils package, so I assume it is available on xUbuntu as well). The hash has nothing to do with security. If you don't trust the installer you downloaded from the official website, you also shouldn't trust anything you read on that site, including hashes. Anyone who can compromise the installer can compromise anything else on the website. Using a hash to confirm a download is only useful if the hash comes from a separate, more trustworthy source than the download (e.g. downloading an Ubuntu ISO from a random mirror, but looking at the official Ubuntu website to get the correct hash).

  6. Epic Games awakes the collector in me. I detest strategy games (and, especially build up strategy), but picked up Civ anyway.

  11. Nah it's OK, I'm not that sensitive. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if much happens. I assume with the extra votes it'll probably hit the threshold for the number of real legitimate votes required to progress, but I have concerns it'll not be treated by lawmakers as a serious topic due to the focus being on gaming, despite it actually being more about consumer rights.
