What's MARS? I couldn't find any reference that seemed to match due to... well, the ambiguitiy of the name :D

Oh... Trackers. That takes me back, I think I've still got some mod files from old BBS copy cd's from the late 80's and early 90's...

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
Maquiladora
NAFTA
No great single resources for Nike / Child Slavery but... just search for it there are too many to link
I really shouldn't have to link to the environment, right?

Even the history of this is fascinating. This is the "Moses Bridge", and it's a renovated part of the old dyke system that was used to prevent attacking armies from getting in - because the dykes and levee's had blocked the sea so effectively, they realised they could stop attackers by... flooding them out. Literally.

When it came to renovate this area, they wanted to provide access without denigrating the fact it was an old defensive structure, hence this unique sea-level bridge.

That's fair enough. I didn't read it as "initiating a discussion", more "get off my lawn". That may, however, be me - I'm coming off my meds and it's making me grumpy.

I appreciate your point, however - if you wish for this series of communities to succeed, it needs to be welcoming to newcomers. And one of the ways of doing that is allowing for a continuation of conversations that were on the source communities - including, "Oh, we're getting out", "Why it's so bad", "Where do we go to", "How do we make the new community look/feel like I'm used to", etc. etc.

I'm happy to see this because it means that a corrupt and non-people-focussed environment is losing members. Like anything, it will pass, but please don't push people away by making them feel unwelcome.

That's the one - thanks, I'd forgotten where it was and didn't read your comment before putting mine in place

If you go into the developer settings area (Can't remember what it's called) you can turn on extra development sources, in which case you can trunk-level daily updates.

I've updated the Deck to 'main' release channel 3.5, though technically that's "tinkering", but - it makes a much wider list of things work really, really well. Currently playing through XenoBlade Chronicles and Breath of the Wild (Switch versions) and both seem to play really, really well. I don't have the framerate display on, I've not tweaked power settings or anything, I just run them...

The SMT improvements I believe are in the 3.5 main-branch release, so that's probably why... seems to work well.
