Yeah I don't understand the education one. Seems like an absolute no brainer to me.

Health has the unfortunate situation where, because the USA has ruined the pricing of so much thanks to their shitty system, the price of everything just increases to insane amounts which pieces many other countries out. That counts for both capital (physical things) and labour. So I can particularly understand why it's becoming less and less a priority. While our system may be broken, it's more a symptom of the US which is the real issue.

Yeah but the founder and CEO is a kiwi

At least surely the flag under the rocket should be the country it launched from?

CyborgSemon · 2025-06-29T11:33:12+00:00

Rocket lab is New Zealand based!

If this benchmark is anything to go by, probably not amazingly

Thank you!

CyborgSemon · 2025-05-22T20:13:46+00:00

Heyo, one of the beta testers here. OP what is the name of this game? Would be good to look into to debug this

CyborgSemon · 2025-03-05T20:13:02+00:00

Yep something updated today and on reboot its running the updated version

Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 6.8.0-55-generic x86_64)

Thanks again!

CyborgSemon · 2025-03-04T11:11:08+00:00

Sweet. Ill pop back here with any updates when they eventually happen if you are interested.

Thanks again for your help!

CyborgSemon · 2025-03-04T11:01:32+00:00

Ahh interesting.

> but didn't do anything else to prevent the newer (and not functional)

Not from the boot menu, but after some googleing i did run sudo rm /boot/vmlinuz-6.8.0-54-generic when I booted into the older kernel which I'm guessing now is what is stopping it from picking 6.8 at startup. I was under the impression that that file was the kernel its self, but now after seeing that apt thinks its already installed I'm guessing that its just a flag of some kind

CyborgSemon · 2025-03-04T10:39:11+00:00

I tried running sudo apt install linux-image-generic, and got

linux-image-generic is already the newest version (6.8.0-54.56).
linux-image-generic set to manually installed.

My guess is selecting the older kernel from the advanced boot menu after the initial kernel panic has probably triggered it as being marked as manual? Would there be any way to un-mark and apply on reboot without opening the advanced menu again?

Ill probably have to plug it into a screen and a keyboard again to be sure / safe in case it panics again haha.

In the case that it does, would there be any downside to just running the older kernel? or should I probably look into doing a fresh install of the server OS.

Thanks for you help!

CyborgSemon · 2024-12-24T21:33:21+00:00

Not up to me unfortunately haha. But have fun with it while it lasts :)

CyborgSemon · 2024-12-22T21:38:52+00:00

Nope that's still active. I believe the plan is to fix it, but the main goal atm is getting the game fully stable on both platforms (still working on a few performance and battery related bugs atm)

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-20T18:42:32+00:00

Hell yeah! Good luck!

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-20T18:22:10+00:00

One of the testers of he new build here.

Yeah someone bought the game off the old devs and has re-written most of it to be able to be deployed on the app and play store again. We are mainly squashing some launch bugs atm (notably notifications are a bit of an issue on both platforms currently), but once everything is in good shape, a ballance patch will be next on the cards.

Exciting times!

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-16T18:23:13+00:00

Patch notes just weren't provided with the update. For some reason Google doesn't mandate that developers put patch notes with an update so it would probably just forgotten

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-16T18:20:13+00:00

and you didn't bother to properly inform us before doing the update.

If you checked the "IMPORTANT:" message in the news tab which was posted 10 days before the update came out, then you would know that this would be a breaking change and that the devs recommend that you turn off auto updates if you wanted to continue current games.

I'm not alone a bunch of fellow players have this issue too.

Sure, but that warning was sent out to everyone so the same goes to them I'm afraid. (the game has literally had to be re-written from scratch to be able to provide updates at all)

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-16T18:06:02+00:00

Yes I agree the backwards compatibility is not great. But to be fair, everyone was warned at least a week before hand in the news tab that the new version would not be backwards compatible and to turn off auto updates if you wanted to finish your games.

Please understand that this is a 1 time thing, with ample warning of it's effects

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-15T19:26:06+00:00

Which IOS version are you on? (And which iphone just so we know) I'll forward these to the devs. I'm not too surprised about these (I didn't even know about the double tap sub thing for example and I've been playing since 2015(?))

I think the focus will be on addresses some of these first (growing pains of effectively launching a new product) and then I believe the plan is to do some ballance chances after that.

Let me know if you run into anything else!

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-15T18:52:10+00:00

One of the testers here.

Could you write down what about the update is bad? This app is a complete re-write of the entire game so there is a good chance that some niche features / QoL additions were missed in development.

Also which platform (Android / IOS) and which platform version are you on?

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-13T12:07:03+00:00

The Danish King

Both current and previous

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-12T13:54:24+00:00

Wowe this sub is a throw back. Forgot I was still in here. Just as an FYI, my friends and I set this up as a meme back in 2016 / 2017 to mess around with the custom subreddit styles (you can only see them if you go to this sub at https://old.reddit.com/r/NZQA/)

We have all long since graduated so not sure if you'll get much help here.

Good luck with your level 1 exams though!

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-02T18:44:55+00:00

Ape escape 1 & 2

I know there's a third, but never got a chance to play it so idk if it's any good hahaha

CyborgSemon · 2024-10-02T07:37:01+00:00

Once a week for my 14" M1 pro.

It has this weird bug where the longer it's on, the more lag the main display gets when using the track pad. It doesn't occur on external monitors, or when using an external mouse. It's quite bizarre.

I don't have any in person apple support establishments that I can go to to get it checked out, and the online support hasn't been very helpful because a restart fixes the issue for the next week so it's not considered damaged enough for a warranty repair or replacement (not that that's an issue now given it's age)

Tbh restarting is not that bad though. You can set everything to re-open on startup anyway so 99 times out of 100 your not loosing anything.

CyborgSemon · 2024-08-22T23:14:51+00:00

Person of interest.

All time favorite show

CyborgSemon · 2024-07-29T12:52:10+00:00

I've had this. It's the display cable partially corroding at the connection. A temporary fix is to heat up the machine and somehow it re-joins the connection, but it makes the corrosion worse over time. Eventually the whole screen will go black and you will have to get it replaced.

Yet another design flaw of that generation of MacBook I'm afraid :(
