TZAR EN GALEGO

Estiven fozando esta fin de semana no Tzar (o xogo de estratexia en tempo real dos 90) e fixen unha tradución ao galego.

Só hai que copiar a carpeta dentro dos ficheiros do xogo e debería funcionar correctamente.

Aínda non atopei unha web na que poida subir isto como un mod, así que de momento está no Drive, se o queredes aquí está:

Hello all, I'm trying to gain access to this board that posted an almost complete collection of Emulator ii sound files in .wav format. For those that don't know, the Emulator is a 1980s sampler that had sample disks which you could load into the emulator and play from your DAW.
I am looking to start the Emulator project which aims to archive all of the samples from every bank and every patch, so that they will be usable in OpenMPT for everyone, but the board that had this isn't letting me registor to request reupload. If someone can help me create an account or bypass the justification system as it's not letting me go for some reason, I would really appreciate it! The forum link is
modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.
And the justification is. "Hello, my name is Goemon Ishikawa, and I am a fully blind person requesting access to this forum please? I can't get past the forums justification even though I've wrote it down, but I'll write it here. Hello I am a fully blind person that's requesting access to the forum as I found a user posted a collection of emulator2 files in .wav and, I would like to have for a music project as well as to host it for anyone elce who might want it. Thanks for any response, Goemon."

“Leaks expose secret British military cell plotting to ‘keep Ukraine fighting’”

by Kit Klarenberg in The Grayzone

Leaked files show top UK military figures conspired to carry out the Kerch bridge bombing, covertly train ‘Gladio’-style stay-behind forces in Ukraine, & groom the British public for a drop in living standards caused by the proxy war vs Russia”

My youngest has now upgraded to their first full pc. This means they are now leaning in hard to the #minecraft #mod community, going so far to spend their pocket money on getting a copy of the java game! We have found the #prism #launcher which seems to integrate the popular modding sites quite well although I'm having to learn about the concept of mod loaders. What i don't know is how well #sandboxed these mods are. Can they access the wider system or are they limited to certain #APIs? #lazyweb

The Kinks – Something Else by the Kinks (1967, UK)

As randomly chosen by survey[1] on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 842 on The List, submitted by leodurruti.

If you’re following our #BowieADay schedule, the Bowie album on the docket today is Reality (2003). And TIL the Japanese and tour versions of Reality included a cover of “Waterloo Sunset”, which, also TIL, is the last track on the album we’re looking at here, Something Else by the Kinks. And, again TIL, that studio extra was recorded just a couple weeks prior to a live duet of the song by Bowie and his long-time friend Ray Davies, i.e., frontman of the Kinks, at the Tibet House Benefit in February 2003. To summarize, though “Waterloo Sunset” has been kicking around in my head for decades thanks to Elliott Smith’s fantastic cover, and though I’ve obsessively been listening to Bowie for nearly a decade, today is the first time I’ve listened to Bowie’s cover(s) or to the Kinks’ original. Indeed, today is the first time I’ve listened to an entire Kinks record.

How this happened, I don’t know. I’m familiar with the other big Kinks hits “Lola” and “You Really Got Me”, and I’ve had their next album, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968), on my unwritten list of albums to get to eventually for quite some time. And I knew Elliott Smith’s cover was a cover, one I’ve always loved at that, I just never really bothered to look up who it was a cover of. So when Something Else came up as the next album on The List to spotlight and I saw “Waterloo Sunset” in the tracklist, I went:

It’s a Kinks song?!
[*searches “Kinks Waterloo Sunset”*]
It’s a Kinks song!
Wait…Bowie covered it?!
Bowie covered it!
Wait, I thought Village Green was the Kinks album to listen to. Is it going to be a slog to get to “Waterloo”?
By golly it’s not a slog, this is great!

And that, friends, is the gift you all have given me and others like me with The List. It’s never too late to fill in those gaps, or to discover moar Bowie.

Also, friends, not sure if this was leodurruti’s intention on submitting Something Else rather than the much-lauded Village Green (which I also listened to for the first time today), but I think this album is possibly better than Village Green? But don’t listen to me, I’m just a newborn baby Kinks fan! And there’s, like, 24 other Kinks studio albums I have to get to now! Anyone up for a deep dive?

  1. The survey choices that initially led to this spotlight were “I’m not a woman, I’m not a man”, “I am something that you’ll never understand”, “I’ll never beat you, I never lie”, and “And if you’re evil I’ll forgive you by and by cuz”. The second option was the winning selection, and so the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List that contained a word in the phrase – in this case, “something”. ↩︎
