You know you're getting old when you can say "52 years ago I saw Hair". Today, I saw Hair again. This time I was 'front and centre', and dang it was good. The previous time meant I was sweating out the dates and times for my potential Conscription, and the Musical was pretty darn relevant. Part of the Architecture 'Sociology' course was to sit in on a County Court trial of a Draft-Dodger.... In '72 I had a beanie my mum knitted and I sewed in a peace sign [in wool] and wore it 'al...

So today my mic and cam stopped working. They worked fine yesterday. When I go into privacy settings for the mic I get the following pop up (see pic below). I dont get any popup for the cam but Settings closes when I try to go into the cams privacy settings.     ANY help will be gratefully appreciated as this impairs my ability to stream. edit* forgot to mention I updated Start11 and Groupy yesterday but just shut the PC down afterwards.  

I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to take a brush made in  PS6  and make images with transparent backgrounds out of them so I can use them in say Artrage?  Thanks much. TBC https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/graphics/921/   https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/graphics/899/

Well. My face is officially red. I'm embarrassed I had something wrong about MS's Support policy, apparently. An article in Infopackets,  corrected my misapprehension. This is pretty much for folks who cannot (hardware reason: TPM) or don't wish to upgrade to W11 from W10 for whatever reason. MS (without you joining the Extended Service Program) will stop all Support for W10 on 10.25.25 ( WindowsCentral) . Everyone was overjoyed when MS announced it would continue support for W1...

    This is very hard to relate to you. I'll try to do it as factually as I can, but that will be difficult, as Nikos was a friend, as he was to many here at WinCustomize and Stardock. I should say that I haven't found a public document concerning his passing, so I'm relying on emails I received from his widow. I sent an inquiry and learned through his widow, Mrs. Adamamas, that he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly about a month ago.  I don't know what took o...

Let’s start with where things currently stand at Stardock in our remastering and reimagining of Elemental. We have ported the underlying engine and code base to 64-bit. We have upgraded the graphics engine to DirectX 11. We have brought over the Dynasty system from War of Magic (yes, this game had full on families, dynasties, and magical breeding). We have brought over the crafting system and global inventory from Sorcerer King. We have reexported the original textures at m...

Once upon a time… In 2008, right after we released Galactic Civilizations II and Sins of a Solar Empire , we at Stardock felt pretty good about ourselves. We had assembled an amazing team of people that could make amazing games and we thought there was nothing we couldn’t do. Hubris attracts Nemesis. With space conquered, we set our eyes on making Fantasy Civilizations. It would be half Master of Magic and half what we had learned from making Sins and GalCiv. The game would be...
