   @bjonte @emsenn Did you, like me, fund the kickstarter when David Braben made it sound like there was a real possibility of Linux support coming later? 😠

     @bjonte @emsenn I was very disappointing that Frontier Development ported the game to Windows, Mac, XBox and PS4, leaving out only Linux.

     @bjonte @emsenn otoh, the game went well beyond my expectations for a remake of the classic Elite. It really, *really* feels like being inside a fucking spaceship in fucking space.

     @bjonte @emsenn I loved traveling across the universe alone in my little Asp Explorer... it's a soothing experience for the mind... with the occasional sense of awe when a giant blue star fills the screen and the occasional adrenaline kick when something goes wrong.

     @bjonte @emsenn When I was in elementary school, I used to draw various navigation instruments and buttons on the whiteboard and play "starship". The role-play took elements from Star Trek, Space Battleship Yamato and other sci-fi shows. I tried recruiting a few classmates as crew, but they thought I was just weird :-)

     @codewiz That's so funny. My friends and I used to arrange the chairs in our homeroom like the Enterprise bridge and address whoever sat in them as if they were the character who usually sat in that chair, even if they didn't play along. (We were weird.)
