Given Debian's longer release cycles, I imagine it's not nearly as much of a drain as keeping up with Ubuntu. Plus, LMDE keeps them in position to ditch Ubuntu if they become too problematic or burdensome to work with.

A classic Damnatio Memoriae would be as lovely as it is unattainable.

There was indeed an earlier Prey game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game)

Perhaps Earthsiege and Earthsiege 2; I played those a ton back in the day. Also, I haven't thought of Castle of the Winds in years, that brought back a pleasant wave of nostalgia!

Anyone else remember when they proclaimed that thin clients and other VM-based solutions were the future of PCs? This is them trying to make that vision happen as an added bonus.

I maintain a collection of PCs stretching back to the late 90's, so I still regularly burn CDs and DVDs of install media for the ones that can't boot from USB. I should try to get PXE working on my network, but using physical media is fast and convenient for me. I also occasionally burn extra backups to BD-R media.

I recently updated my LMDE 6 install to 7, no issues thus far for me.

That stood out to me, too; I wonder if that model assumes the shrinkage of the Pacific reverses when the Atlantic starts to close. strange. I also didn't see them try to account for the rifting in Africa, perhaps they assume that will fail to complete like the North American one did

This scenario is one possible projection; it assumes the eventual development of a subduction zone in the West Atlantic that would overcome the spreading at the mid Atlantic ridge, eventually sealing the basin. I don't understand the mechanisms well enough to know how that prediction was made, so someone with more experience on the subject can chime in.

Agreed, Chris is such a great musician.

Here's to hoping they learned their lesson from SotS, but I'm not holding my breath.
