Heh, I figured someone had already dealt with this. I’ll give it a try, thanks! Are there any notes that specify exactly what this does? And has anyone tested it on older machines to make sure it doesn’t break anything there?
I figured I should pass this along to GOG so they can update their copy.

So, I installed the GOG version on my new Windows 11 PC today...but I'm running into a problem. Immediately after Planetfalll, the year turns to a nonsensically high number such as 20841603, and then I get a crash to desktop. Has anyone seen this before? I have random memory addresses enabled on my PC (one of the optional security settings)...any chance it's that?
I'll be doing more research when I have a chance this weekend, but thought I'd ask first in case someone's seen this before I have a chance to dig into it. Google's AI answer says the Thinker Mod fixes the bug, but I didn't find anything in a quick scan of Thinker's release notes about it. (I'd also prefer to keep the base version, warts and all, or perhaps at most install Scient, for the moment.)
Attempts to address: 1) Full reinstall 2) Disable ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm and/or disable DirectDraw 3) Run in normal and Administrator mode
Thanks in advance.

From the Friday update: "The current forecast for the onset of the next lava fountaining episode is currently between January 20 to 25, 2026 based on current inflation models."

He was living in Minnesota at the time. When people saw and heard him everywhere, it didn't take long for him to be recognized.
On the positive side, while [Sleezebag] seemed to have a hard base of 3 out of 8 people, that seems to have slipped to about only 2 out of 8. I think there are two reasons 1) he now seems to be part of the Epstein File deep state conspiracy, 2) he seems to be part of the heavy-handed tyranny 2nd Amendment Americans have been preparing to fight against all of their lives.

Constitutional monarchy... there's a huge difference.  The US presidential power unleashed can do way more damage, if not on the international level, most certainly at the national level.

On the other hand, if they were ashamed of what they were doing, or what they have done in the past they just might wear a mask. I wonder if any of them were Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis, Klansmen, or Jan. 6th Insurrectionists. Or maybe some of them could be ex police and ex prison guards & ex military who lost their jobs for not following the rules. Or maybe they have criminal records. Maybe they are deadbeat dads. Or have restraining orders.
Well, if the identified ICE agent from the Minneapolis shooting is anything to go by, at the very least the guy's working history is now public record. And I can well imagine a couple drug cartels/gangs would love to put a bounty on him due to his history as a border guard. Though I have no idea how his identity became public. The Minneapolis Investigation team? Some diligent data mining by an anti-government group? In any case, I fail to see the benefit of an (armed) agency roaming the streets and picking up people at random to check identities (or worse). That sounds to me as a task for the local Police Department. The whole picture seems to me eerily similar to methods used in dictatorial countries (to put it mildly).
