05.02.2026 12:26 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yeah, I'm not expecting anything but really, you have to wonder what they're doing with it all.
05.02.2026 12:19 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Maybe - and just go with me on this - they could use some of the vast pile of money they make from their 30 percent cut to keep the costs down.

Oh yes, it's been a literal building site for three years now. Each week I get to play the 'how do I get over/under/around the railway today?' With the bridge out this week, they literally had you walking across the tracks on a little bridge at platform level:

05.02.2026 09:48 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If that was acceptable to them, it explains pretty much everything since.
03.02.2026 20:33 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yeah, I think about that on an semi-regular basis.

03.02.2026 20:23 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If you want to see how UI text size and contrast scaling can be done across a game's UI, up to TRULY HUGE SIZES and high contrast, alongside a whole host of other great options and design, you will struggle to find better than Atomfall. This is well earned, congratulations Rebellion!

Thanks for that, it's very interesting. Mint is still working out okay for me as I don't do dev work on my personal machine (yet) but it's useful to have this sort of information. I'd love to play about with other distros one of these days.
