  • This is what Gentoo needed. I’ve been using it for a long time and love it as it is but sometimes when there’s a bunch of slot conflicts or a compile error it makes me wish I just dealt with binaries instead. Now that we have the best of both worlds, it will make Gentoo appeal to a wider userbase and make it less painful to use on older hardware.







  • Teeworlds. When I was a kid I searched up “free online multiplayer games on pc” and it actually led me to this Wikipedia article full of open source games. I tried out teeworlds and I was hooked on it and it led me to playing other open source games like cube 2 and open arena. In my head, the term open source meant “free stuff”. Searching for open source stuff led me to discovering Linux and trying it though the Wubi installer and eventually moving to it a few years later.



  • I load this up on my ST all the time but I have to turn the music off. All paradox developed games have annoying music that loops every 10 seconds and it drives me mad after only a minute of playing. One cool thing about the ST version is that it takes advantage of the MIDI ports so you can plug in a MIDI synthesizer and the music will output though that, but again, It’s the same annoying tune.
