We need to fight even harder against them, IMPEACH now! Goodbye Trump, Vance, Musk and all other evil politicians! We need to reverse everything you have done and get rid of everyone you have placed in a Federal Government position! You will destroy this country and our planet!!!!! I am writing this in the hope that everyone in the world will get to read it.... All life on our planet is precious and interconnected... For an elected President of the United States, these are the first ...

Just thought I'd say Happy Easter to everyone, hope you have a great day!

Hey Devs. I understand we're not up to full functionality yet, but I'm logged in and still getting ads in the forums.   Advice?  

It's been a while since we had a new addition to the fold. pelaird was 'noticed' quite a while ago but took a little convincing on his part that he'd be right for the role.     You'll see him bouncing around on Wincustomize and on Stardock.com keeping things neat and tidy. Please give Philip a warm welcome.   

Glad to see the forums back! I have released my first new Premium Windowblinds theme on my site for this month, hope you all like it.

Just a quick head's up that we have Ashes of the Singularity 3.3 now in QA.  We'll have more news on it shortly but it's a pretty massive balance update.

This UI was made by AI.   So was this:   We are not quite at the point where AI can make the actual WindowBlinds skins themselves. Certainly not in real time. But I think we are getting close to where skinners will be able to make skins much more easily.

We don't generally allow politics on the forums.  With the obvious exception of The Political Machine.  The Political Machine - The Power of the Presidency Can Be Yours! Forums But the world trade situation is probably something worth discussing provided people can avoid assuming "the other" are stupid or evil or greedy or whatever.   Now, I'm a child of Michigan USA.  Detroit area.  That means cars.  And I can say, regardless of political association, t...

Today we were finally able to get most of the forums back from the dead.  2 weeks ago we didn't think we would be able to bring them up.  And to be honest, we probably will never get everything back.   Fun fact: These are (one of) the oldest continuously running forums on the Internet.  When we wrote the forums, back in the late 1990s, we had to do everything from scratch.  We built these to replace Usenet. So a few things: If you're forum account is "new" ...

I recently got back into Virtual Machines and found the performance terrible on Windows 11.    I couldn't figure out why.  There was noticeable input lag and even moving windows around was sluggish.   I looked on Reddit and elsewhere and got advice about installing tools or configuring the VM differently but eventually just had a feeling that it had something to do with security on Windows.  So after a lot of trial and error I found this option: Now, I...

Over at Reddit I saw this post. Now, so far this year, the best book I've read has been the new Bobiverse book. But what about you guys?

So you want faster internet speeds, eh? So did I. Let me tell you about my journey. It all started with Xfinity offering 1.4Gb/sec internet speeds. I wanted some of that. So I upgraded but noticed that my speeds were still maxing out at around 800Mb/sec. That's pretty good, but a lot less than 1.4Gb/sec. The first thing I did was get a new cable modem. It has a single 2.5Gb/sec output. My router actually had a 2.5Gb/sec input port. Victory! Or so I thought. Turns out every single output por...

So our friends over at Amplitude have announced Endless Legend II.  It's due for Early Access late Summer.  My good friend Kael (Derek P who was the lead designer on Elemental: Fallen Enchantress and did the Fall from Heaven mod) is working on it.  

These days I'm mostly playing our stuff.  There's just not a lot of time for other games.  So lots of Ara: History Untold, GalCiv IV, Sins of a Solar Empire II and even some Ashes of the Singularity. But what are you guys playing? Anything you would recommend I should check out?
