Mix will be late this week. I'll try to have it up Friday afternoon PST. I've got the first half of it worked out, need to do the second.

A video breakdown and re-creation of the Good Looking Records sound I saw linked on reddit. Watched today & really enjoyed it. I'll have to watch Groovin' In G's other Renoise videos.

Yo! Went super deep on this one! Really enjoyed getting stuck into all these amazing old-school DnB tracks from Goodlooking records!

Mix will be up mid-day tomorrow (Friday). I spent all day working out a tracklist, finally settled on one a few hours ago & ran out of energy.

Couldn't make it good enough to meet my standards in time.




Shadowrun Returns on FreeBSD

Writing to report that the Harebrained Schemes Shadowrun games (Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong) all run under FreeBSD. I got them working by following the Linux Binary Compatibility chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook (using the CentOS base system linux-c7 as instructed by 10.3) and then installing the linux-nvidia-libs package to support my graphics card. After that I was able to directly execute the Linux binaries downloaded from GOG. (This configuration is, of course, not officially supported by anyone. I got it to work but I can't guarantee that it'll work for anyone else.)

I like these games a lot. They're an interesting combination of tactical combat RPG and '90s Shadowrun novelization. The second one, Dragonfall, is my favorite of the trilogy, I think it has the best balance of those elements. I've had a rare crash or two while playing Dragonfall but otherwise all three games run flawlessly for me.
