The Mysterious Update of Your Uncle Robert, the Arachnid

And now for some fascinating update-type things: For those of you who have been having problems running Desert Bridge, there now is an alternative version of the executable. I am not guaranteeing that it will work – in fact, I have no idea. But it might, and it certainly won’t …

Post-Christmas Post
