Fallen Haven, Master of Orion (except 3, which was really shit). Elite (PC). Played elite almost constantly after school.

I assume that you can forget about any oft the LG ones, as they stopped providing unlock keys for the bootloader. Check the lineage vor /e OS pages for the devices for a first glance of info.

Some German cable providers do internal NATting please check that yours does not.

This is too true, I usually do not touch any tech stuff anymore at home, working in IT all day.

TIL, ty. Always used a separate partition /home folder and plain reinstalled. Have to concede never thought of my personal machines as critical stuff is on a redundant Proxmox setup. Will try this out tonight, brain mush after work permitting.

To answer your original question about the timeline, this may help.

A detailled version is here (not spoiler free!).

You can probably play the games in any order, but beware the first two are rather classics today, within the technical limitations of their time.

There’s also the Tales of two Wastelands mod, which combines FO3 and New Vegas on the latter’s engine. I’ve installed that, but admittedly was too lazy for a complete playthrough.

Exactly, thank you for this explanation. It’s in one of these videos that they explain the new assets (2d/3d models, textures) scripts and pathfinding stuff they created https://fallout4london.com/world-of-fallout-london/

Sry on mobile else would link to the exact source. Very impressive feat.

FOLON is a total conversion, with some references to the other Fallouts, bacause it is set in the UK.

It was mentioned in one of their previous interviews as reason to parner with gog. I’ve unfortunately not bookmarked it, though, and I’m too lazy to search for it, sry.

edit: found it: “At the very least, GOG is sure that its support for Fallout: London won’t upset Bethesda,“They’re also our partners so we wouldn’t want to do anything to harm our relationship.””

Plus, they needed a place to host that big a mod with connections to Bethesda to prevent a probable takedown order…

This. And battery life is amazing.

Thy already wrote this will not be powered on 24/7, just lean back and enjoy the pics and story :-)

I also noticed slow dl speeds some weeks ago, and had to restart the download. Nearly did not install it out of growing frustration. But it worked out in the end.

Would be around 300€ in Germany, on a cheap contract. Limiting myself to one combined NAS/application server atm, with the others turned on only if I want to try sth out.

Yes. Chuck some 5TB Seagate externals. They’re way less pain in the ears, cooler and quieter.

Ray guns everywhere please. Stepped into that beamer trap once, only for my non-DE colleagues to tease me forever with it.

Yup, with 2,5" Seagates. Reused the enclosure with smaller used enterprise ssds to make cheap USB sticks.

Stolen, bookmarked. Thank you. P.s.: Can’t understand the downvotes either.

No issues here. Have to use (mainly) excel at work, but use libre office calc at home, for years. Hate excel with all my heart. Mainly autocomplete and UI issues, but also issues when using more than one instance with excel. No problems with file exchange, p.e. with my tax person. Imho excel was THE leader but they enshittyfied it to the max.
