Side question: Is anyone here familiar with the intricacies of DisplayPort, USB-C, Thunderbolt, and multi-monitor setups?
If so, we could use some help, please, over at Help Setting Up Dual Monitors w/Work Laptop 
It is a player driven trip to various places for whatever reason the player organizers feel would be fun.
Typically organized through discord groups there would be an overall mission , such as ‘ let’s go survey keplers crest ‘ or “visit each of the 42 named regions “
A list of way points would be released and meet up times. Typically you would have a week to get to the next way point, have a meet up on the Sunday or what ever date for canyon racing , srv mountain climbing, guardian relic foot bal etc Followed by a mass jump, then on to the next waypoint. Expedition members would do exploration or what ever along the way. So a somewhat made up reason to travel around the galaxy and interact with other players
The distant worlds 1 and 2 expeditions are fairly legendary within the community, and also had ( and still have) a story team working on a narrative and releasing waypoint updates as the story progresses.
There was also some developer ( Fdev) interactions for the prior expeditions with in game community goals which ended up with some new stations being deployed way out in the black.
Distant Worlds 3 has been almost a year in the planning and story elements have been released . There is also a side application called metalense/meta elite which is entirely player driven missions and role play , I am not sure how it works , but it is very impressive.
Anyway a website made up for the expedition is here
Also on the fleetcom HQ discord server and numerous links on the various forums , Reddit etc
The Game Awards were kind of a dub, but Total Warhammer 40k is going to make money.
Yep.
Also excited for Divinity, which I wasn’t expecting; I was literally only watching to catch the TW40K trailer.
Interesting. Thanks for explaining!
Has anyone else heard anything about Half-Life 3 being tied to the Steam Machine release?
Sounds like pure rumor to me, though that’s also based on the million other HL3 rumors over the years. I’m pretty sure people said the same about the Steam Machine v0.5 launch.
Of course, even if it did it would still just be a PC game. Wouldn’t be like a traditional console exclusive.
I use OpenShell to deal with this, it puts back a lot of the customization that Microsoft has disabled. It also lets you have whichever style of Start menu you prefer. I set mine to the Windows 95 style which I have been using since Windows 95… in ‘95.
