You’re in for a treat! I tend to still prefer the parser based EGA versions for nostalgia reasons but it’s very well done and faithful to the original.

I’m longing for another play-through thanks to you! Maybe I’ll go fighter then paladin instead of my usual magical thief.

This graph stops at 2014 but extrapolating to today 5% to 10% seems about right.

So, you want to be a hero?

Probably my most replayed game, along with Betrayal at Krondor.

Have you checked out the excellent remake of QfG2?

What were the demands, and were they met? Or did the strike end for some other reason?

What’s the best way to buy this in the US? $66 on Amazon feels steep. Are kindle versions good?

Terry Pratchett once said: “I don’t think The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was the funniest Science Fiction novel ever written. The funniest Science Fiction novel ever written was Bill, The Galactic Hero”.

I wear earplugs daily and nightly due to a sensory disorder and recently tried a new kind that’s by far the best from the many I’ve tried in terms of comfort. They’re also excellent in noise reduction.

Ditto. I just farted to look into this yesterday and found the trash guides. It was pretty incomprehensible and I gave up. I hope to come back to this thread later and see that someone has explained how to set this up simply.

404 media seems to be doing good work.

Your pan is too hot! oozing cheese that crisps up on the sides is *chefs kiss*

I love this idea. I feel like it would give Lemmy some of the old forum magic of long historical threads.

Imagine every time a repost happens the comments are additive instead of separate. It would keep posts and conversations alive to have them continue to surface and be upvoted anew.

I really think you’re into something brilliant.

They’re actually all Hufflepuff

I hope it sparks debate and causes people to take seriously the central point of the book, namely the grave threat posed to the world by the U.S. effort to maintain global dominance. The facts laid out in the book are disturbing and in many ways terrifying, and my hope, one I know that Prof. Chomsky has long shared, is that the public will come to understand the danger that we are in and act collectively to radically democratize existing power structures.

Nice! Care to share a picture you took?

Faith’s Hymn by Beautiful Chorus. It’s a capella, very gentle and harmonious humming and singing. Spotify

Preferably fermented.

When I was in highschool my mother left a pot of stock simmering and went to work, except instead of leaving it on low she left it on high. I came home to a smoke filled apartment, and the pot was full of chicken bone shaped black carbon. As I grabbed the handle and brought it toward the sink molten metal poured out of the heavy base into the sink. It was scary and I’m grateful I wasn’t severely burned and that our place didn’t burn down!

I read your whole site and find it very inspiring. My wife spent six months in Ghana when she was 18 and had a very life changing experience. I hope to visit some day and will definitely reach out if I do.

Though I had a successful career as a software developer in the nonprofit space, my current interests and expertise are in meditation practices and psycho-spiritual integration. My theory is that the way to a better world is through healing our traumas, personal, collective, and intergenerational.

Me three, and I supported the original games kickstarter and loved it.
