While I have no experience with MSYS, the command for changing git branches is 'checkout' so you may want to try 'git checkout wireless_playground'.

A couple points that I hope explain things to your satisfaction. One is this is the only game in the Star Control series I am familiar with, then or now, so I would not recognize the Urpox, as I lack that context. The other is this being the review playthrough, I am obliged to speak during it, to provide my opinion of the game as I play it. It is possible I felt more free to speak over dialogue in many of these videos, as this was my second (review) playthrough of the game. When I get to the new content, from the Earth Rising expansions, I should be quieter, and hopefully have that greater sense of wonder you feel I should. Here is a link to that first playthrough, just in case you are interested in watching/listening to more from an oil barrel: kzbin.info/aero/PLrgZii6kOLjqGH2Swyt-2B0I4LElnqeA6

I had not thought of that, and I hope I remember to try it now

@@georgfriedrichhendl9881 I don't recall after all this time, but watching the video, it's possibly just a joke password because all the cat can say is Meow.

winter and Autumn

​@bombix1337 Not sure about Autumn, it might still be warm enough then, but definitely Winter is cold enough to need other heat sources. Spring and Summer are warm enough to not need another heat source.

@@GuestJimOCC Thanks for your help, I've been playing this game for a while and I've always wondered why plants disappear in winter 🤣 I'm currently on day 1 of winter, so maybe I can save them

I cannot recall if this has been stated yet, one way or the other, but as it is coming to consoles as well, it does seem a reasonable feature.

@@GuestJimOCC Day 1 buy for me if it works on steam and ps5, i can play with my wife then.

Completely reasonable. Unless I see something to really concern me leading up to the early access release though, I am going to be interested and will seriously consider making the purchase.

Correct, it is not a review itself, but a video for the review linked to in the description

Thank you for the compliment! It is appreciated.

Did some searching because I don't quite remember the sizes of the map options, but apparently you are able to create custom map sizes. There is a MapSizes.json file that stores the information and can be edited. I believe I created the current map at the game's largest, which is 266x266x16, but I see a disabled dev map of 512x512x16. I have no idea how stable running such a huge map would be. Because this may more directly answer your question, there is a border around the map that blocks actions, including building. Quickly loading my map up, this border is 16 squares from the edge. Within the border, you can do whatever, so massive single city or many small villages.

@@GuestJimOCC Awesome thanks!

Thank you! Initially I was confused by your comment because I have the audio processing configured to reduce the game audio when I'm talking. But, that only works if the audio tracks are in the right order, and I had flipped the game and mic tracks when setting up the laptop. Can't fix it for older videos, but it is fixed for the next on. I've also lowered the game audio some as well.

Yes, though some of the earliest videos are from when I was reviewing the original Early Access release, rather than the current weekly streams. Here's a link: kzbin.info/aero/PLrgZii6kOLjpDq9D7KPSXjWsdIWajzTY9

Butchery and stonemasonry were absolutely skilled professions in medieval times. Looking up butchers, the earliest butcher shop appeared in medieval Austria apparently, and it was during the medieval era when butcher guilds formed. These would not have sprung from nothing, but from people who already demonstrated the skill and aptitude for it. If nothing else, there would have been those most able to remove organs, bones, tendons, etc. without removing desirable meat along with them. As for different cuts, why wouldn't they have identified them by taste, texture, and other characteristics and then isolate them for sale based on those qualities? As for stonemasons, this absolutely would have been a skill going to ancient times, with Rome, Greece, and Egypt as a few easy examples. I'd expect more skill then as now, because we have access to concrete today, so almost artificial stone we can mold, instead of real stone that must be carved and shaped together. The way I think of it is this: If they had abundant access to the material at the time, there were people skilled at working it, because it would be used and those who used it best would continue using it, improving their skills.

I'm a bit taller than you (6 ft 4 in or 193 cm) but I don't think my shoulders are as wide. Not sure about the weight difference, but I am comfortable in this. The one thing that might be a concern, though only for a short time (was for me anyway) is the way the chair's shoulder pieces are angled. When I lean back in it I found myself shifting off of the center line, so one shoulder is on the back of the chair, and one on a shoulder piece. Otherwise the chair wants to push both of my shoulders forward. I adapted, as I described, so it might not be an issue for you either.

​@@GuestJimOCCYes, that was the point I was really afraid of. Because my shoulders are wide, would my waist touch the chair when I sat straight on the chair? But as far as I understand, the chair will push me forward and will not support my waist. It can only support my waist if I sit sideways. I hope I understood correctly. If so, this chair will disturb me. Because I am generally a person who always sits straight. If the shoulder part of the chair pushes me forward and does not support my waist, I don't think I can be comfortable.

It is still very comfortable and I haven't experienced any issues

Yes, you most definitely can. There actually seem to be a few keycodes for it when looking at the list, with the QMK Configurator showing KC_VOLD and KC_VOLU specifically. They are under the "App, Media and Mouse" tab there, and under Media in Via (shown as Vol- and Vol+).

@@GuestJimOCC awesome thank you!

That is good advice, and it is giving me ideas on how to build defenses around the bridge. But, I have the map set to peaceful. It's a me-thing that I just enjoy the challenge of building things up and so do not want the threats of attack. (I wish it were an option in various 4X games too, but I don't think any I have offer peaceful.)

@@GuestJimOCC Oh I didn't realise you were playing on peaceful! No matter then - enjoy.

this game is developed by a single person all by himself so you can expect some issue here and there.

that’s fair but then it should be cheaper. I paid $15 for a broken game.

that’s fair, but then it should be cheaper. I paid $20 for a broken game. A Robot Named Fight was done by one person too and that game is amazing!

I don't know. I don't own a Steam Deck to try with and I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the information I have.

If referring to the Phamysht, yes. I don't remember the exact path to it, but you can get a fake human body (I think from the Tywom?) and pass that off as a crew member.

@@GuestJimOCC oh OKAY so you cant do that objective first the phamsht were the first homeworld i went to after tywom ill see if i can get a fake human body then go back
