Awesome. I love that Celestine kit. Celestine and the Gemini will always have a special place in my heart as a long time sisters player - the first new sisters minis for decades and they were _so_ good.

Yeah, I'm not expecting anything but really, you have to wonder what they're doing with it all.

Maybe - 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.

Hmm, I should probably do the same. I've kept mine but never used it.

Photograph down the tracks of the railway through Oxford station showing the platforms on either side and the gap in the distance where a railway bridge used to be. A giant yellow crane rises up in the distance.

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:

Saw an advert for your book as I walked through Oxford station the other day. Having just walked directly across the closed tracks and stared at the gap where the bridge used to be it was only the second-most surreal thing in that moment.

If that was acceptable to them, it explains pretty much everything since.

If 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!

Oh sweet jesus. I don't know what I expected but it was infinitely worse and I just clicked through a few seconds. I couldn't cope with the entire thing.

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.

Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.
