I've just clean installed openSUSE Leap 42.1 and so far it's pretty good! Plasma 5 is nice (though its title bars have become fat like Gnome's by default) and the system is fast. It's lacking a little polish and there's the occasional very minor bug, but besides that it's good. Can't say I'm a mass...

Please sign this petition: http://action.sumofus.org/a/bayer-bees-lawsuit/13/2/?sub=fb Bayer is suing a whole continent for saving the bees! I think it's rather ridiculous that companies can sue regulatory bodies in governments to make them undo regulations, although it's apparently now commonplace...

Fascinating. How old is your computer?

The i3, i5 and i7 are not successors, rather different chip names. The difference is similar to the old difference been Celerons and Pentiums, with Celerons being the cheaper chip with fewer features. The i3 is low power but good in small devices (though larger than those the Atom is designed for),...

really those are the only options? I am privately on dualcore 32bit. And I know many that still use a single core. As stated in the OP edit, PCKF continually kept on eating my changes to the poll which had more options. As for single core, I don't know anyone who still uses single core CPU's. They ...

Thanks. I started out with Game Maker back in 2003-ish, then worked my way up. I've just studied and practiced on my own over the years. I've released small, basic projects and demos over time, under various aliases, most of which are now offline. I'm one of those people who spends forever working ...

Yes, I made everything you see and hear in the game from scratch. The songs were based on songs from various Bomberman games; I mixed some of them together when covering them to lengthen and diversify them. That's really cool. You did all of this in only a few months? That's pretty amazing. Do you ...

Re: Dome of Darkness Background

Is it possible to get just the purple-brain background from the Domes of Darkness? I'd like to use it as a desktop background. Yes. http://cc314.shikadi.net/encyclopedia/levels/Ck6lv03.gif C/P into MS Paint, find the tiling patterns, and then C/P repeatedly into another MS Paint file with your desi...

Could be. cho'gall, eK, Flaose most definitely took over cc314 from Geoff, and I'm almost certain they were forum admins, but I'm not positive on the actual question of founding. It's too bad that a lot of TMST content was flash-based. Many old wonderful flash videos (not only Keen-related) may end...

Thanks for showing interesting in these games! One thing that may be less-obvious is that Apogee never owned the Build engine used for Duke Nukem 3D and others. Ken Silverman worked on the engine while having full ownership. In general (also applying to the Keens), knowing a lot of information (and...

Agreed, writing anything of substance on a phone or tablet is crap.
