Something like poach-acquire/pokequire - gotta catch just the ones you want.

Less than an hour away from Marlow, NH, original home of PC Connection. Must be something in the water.

Changes that some applications made for Wayland definitely broke pasting for me. It seems Wayland added a separate clipboard so going between apps was a crapshoot if pasting would work. I haven't found a solution that covers everything at once.

For people who like LW for more than just nostalgia, Joe Dever's son is republishing all the LW books in a unified format, including a greatly expanded edition of Flight From the Dark using Joe's notes. They're also pursuing new projects, last year they published three new books set in the same world and a (non-game) anthology, and some other games through various partners.

>with isometric 2D graphics

I got excited because I thought I had missed something, but these are the same apps I've had for years. They're not isometric games, though some of the illustrations have a similar perspective.

Ads. Tracking scripts. Interface hijacks. Dynamics that change the page as I read it. A myriad of other poorly executed ideas that someone who considers themselves "very clever" thought were good at the time but only make my experience worse.

Lucas was friendly towards fan works, so Disney kind of got that situation handed to them and were smart enough not to go against it. When nerds are your core audience, you have to accept them doing nerd things. WB took down the Hunt for Gollum fan film and ended up reversing course. Would Disney and WB still make a ton of money if they tighten the reins? Probably, but why risk it?
