New Link Blog Functionality
I’ve added a new feature to the site to more easily post links. Well, it’s not really a new feature, I’ve had similar functionality with earlier versions of this site, but with my newfound ability to fully customise my blog software, I was able to streamline both the backend Markdown content as well as the frontend look and feel a lot more than with previous versions of my website. This will hopefully make it easier for me to post quick links like this one in the future.
I’ve incremented the version number of the software that compiles this site — which I am calling “F/X” — to version 4.1 to reflect this change.

Star Citizen Ripping Off the Omega Branding?
I was recently watching an older stream of DeadlySlob playing Star Citizen on YouTube and it seems there is a store called “Omega Pro” in the game. Looking at that store’s branding in game, I am wondering if Omega S.A. knows about this and is aware of how much money Cloud Imperium Games / Roberts Space Industries have. I mean, I’m far from being an expert … but this does look like a trademark issue to me.
