Ultima

Come on, I can't be the only one!

Anyone else here play this? It literally kicked off my CRPG obsession. I was never a huge fan of the full Ultima series, but this one scratched a particular itch.

The clones that came in the 80s too, played them all. Questron, Legacy of the Ancients, Bards Tale ...

Re: KDE Plasma 6.7 release

I have never tried KDE.

I've been a long time Fedora Gnome user and honestly, gotten pretty used to the workflow. Gnome also keeps me from tinkering too much and breaking stuff, but that said, I am tempted to give it a run.

Re: Means of music consumption

Navidrome looks awesome.

Like most people these days, I listen to music across a variety of sources. I have a fairly decent vinyl collection for when the mood strikes — especially with a whisky or two in hand.

Day to day, I stream YouTube Music on a paid family subscription (mainly for the kids ...

Re: Proposal: a private, NickServ registered-only file host for MansionNET community members

Re: Manuscript obsession

Thanks, and a good question, really. I over-thought tooling. A lot. I ended up trying a lot of them. I won't even mention all of them here.

Writing Tools - Word Processors:

Obsidian was my go-to for a while. Writing in Markdown felt good and distraction-free, but it has issues producing a single ...
