I've been hoping for a remaster of this to be released for a long time, watching https://github.com/hankmorgan/UnderworldGodot for progress. Then suddenly I saw this! Looks like a fully functional remake of UU in Unity. I'll admit, I don't love the art style of the 3D models compared to the original sprites, but I can live with that if it makes the game easier/more modern to play.

Email clients should just strip out hyperlinks. You link in the email? Write it directly, then people can copy/paste it. It wouldn't stop all phishing, but it would be a start to increase people's awareness of shady links.

Setting up my PC with PopOS recently has been really fun. Everything is snappy and fast, and no bloatware crap.

Sounds like the old saying about the advertising industry: "I know half of my spending on advertising is wasted - I just don't know which half."

So funny to see this here, I was just looking into Ultima remakes last night, and saw this one among others. Looks really awesome. I never played any of the Ultima games back in the day, and have bounced off them when trying in later years. This should make Ultima VII a lot more accessible and playable.
There's also a remake of Ultima Underworld being made in Godot: https://github.com/hankmorgan/UnderworldGodot
Hoping for these projects to succeed, both U7 and UU sound like incredible games that deserve to be accessible to modern gamers.

> I always ask ChatGPT do directly cite and evaluate sources. And try to get it in the mindset of comparing and contrasting arguments for and against. And I find I must argue against its points to see how it reacts.
Same here. But it often produces broken or bogus links.

Al Jazeera reports around 750 US military bases, across the world but concentrated in Europe, Japan and South Korea, and the Middle East. Not quite bordering China. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/9/10/infographic-us-mili...

This looks really cool! I'm curious to try it out and see how the .base files look like

Wow, why is the title tag of the page apparently a Windows file path?

I'm not a subscriber so I can't read it, which startup are they referring to in the headline?

You've got the wrong link I think, that's showing data from 2020 to 2024.

Nope, blank page here too. Or, it's actually going to the Firefox Home screen, I just turned off all the content in Settings > Home. I'm on 130, still a blank home screen.

This was such a great pitch for the book, I went ahead and ordered it!
With fantasy settings in particular it's crucial to keep the setting consistent, since the book is the only "source of truth" on the matter. This sounds like the way to go. Excited to check it out.
