'A part of me is cavalier about survival... I can be a lunatic at times' - Rhod Gillbert and Angela Barnes on tackling one of the world's most dangerous roads

 

I've been running this community for a while now and want sure how it would plan out. Thank you all for subscribing and posting both beautiful and creepy fae folk art. (Edit: I meant to post a bit more often myself but due to personal issues it's fallen by the wayside a bit)

As a Christmas special, in this thread only, please post photos of your Christmas tree fairies. 🧚

(I'm posting this from an alt as feddit.uk is down)

The dev does plan to open source it I believe.

I picked this up in a charity shop some time ago and was trying to run it on Windows 95 with no luck. Just happened upon this guide which says it works on Windows 10 - ran through it and played the first couple of easy levels. It does work!

I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I've failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.

Gateway 97.8 has launched a special history of local radio broadcasting festival running this month.

 

So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.

Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it's a similar adventure gamebook system)

 

Whizzer and Chips was my favourite comic, but which side were you on?

Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)

...which I see now are local links with /c/ so not the issue we're discussing here!

Most links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don't work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

I think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)

 

Full URL links to communities appear to open fine - even if the instance isn't aware of that community (hurray! thank you for this, it's ace!)
However, links with exclamation marks seem to try to open a user.

I'm going to try putting one in here, but I'm posting from kbin so it might go a bit weird or not exhibit the same problem.

There are warnings the extreme heat could continue for a further 10 days in parts of Italy.
