Open to suggestions that would let me get the most out of my readings-PDFs-and-using-word-processor machine.

Yes, it may have been dead since 2020, but it's explicitly built for old computers.

Issue is either:

• A word processor or pdf reader are installed, but I just don't know how to run them
• They are not installed and package installer is pinging dead servers
• I have no clue what to do with a tar/tar.gz/tar.lz file

Is the MX + Fluxbox combo winning out? I don't know. Imperium Maledictum rulebook chugs a bit. Others do somewhat better.

As for the Space Marine, it's a Tortuga Praere with an Axe. Got it yesterday and spent most of the day on it. Hopefully be done tomorrow.

Game 1 (me as the Germans): I have seen a Russian for the first time in five turns. There have been ~5 casualties yet and about as many rounds fired. We're running out of shoe soles.

Game 2 (me as the Soviets): Shit's fucked. lIG18s are deleting any infantry they spot. I have no idea if any of my mortars hit anything. There's Jerry in the treeline. The surviving crew of the Panther I knocked out is running in circles in the middle of the map.

With the release of Dune 2, the movie, I'm naturally thinking about Dune II, the start of the strategy genre, from legendary developer Westwood. The games they made prior to that? Why, Goofy's Railway Express, of course.

This educational title is a Disney series of PC releases with the barest interaction. The box even advertises "Colours and shapes" as a feature. Kids hit the spacebar if the shape in the billowed smoke matches the landscape, which rewards them with a little animation. Also, the train's continual computational noises are deafening, as it goes back and forth over the same vistas. And then they made a dozen Command & Conquer games.
