Happened to mee too, quite a few times: when pondering for some time over a difficult problem, I'll end up asking someone else. But because I first need to explain the problem in a way that another can understand, I am also forced to clearly lay out what, exactly my problem is - and then it turns out, once I've done this, I realize something I wasn't aware of, as well as a new approached based on this realization.
I deliberately use this now by imagining to explain it to someone else. Or I write my problem description and question(s) down as I would when posting it to a forum. This is sometimes enough to get me thinking on new approaches, or even new solutions.
Now I am wondering whether the reason why so many questions posted here seem so badly formulated: maybe those people who managed to formulated their questios well never posted them, because in doing so, they found a solution.

That happens to me a lot too.
I also agree with you about the questions here, fully.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Just be sure to check Can I use... because a lot of the CSSOM isn't available outside of Chrome, Edge and Firefox

Looks like some of them were snapped right when they had a short look into the Q&A section.

I was about to say something a bit less nice about those monkeys and Q&A, but I shall try not to.

Have you played it? It seems like a simpler (maybe?) version of Eve?

No, didn't download it, still have a pile of space games I didn't play yet.
Strangely one of my favourites is an open source game: FreeOrion

You might be interested to know that Master of Orion 1 is free now, and MOO1 and 2 are both available for playing on the browser. I don't have any links here, but I guess they shouldn't be hard to find.
I did check out FreeOrion some years ago, but my impression was that of a nice UI, but unfinished game. Is it finished, then?

You can dowload the old Master of Orion games here: GamesNostalgia - master of orion[^]
Although the version number of FreeOrion is very low, it is as good as bug free and perfectly playable

That doesn't sound like the game I've tried. Might give it another chance ... once I get tired of Stellaris

FreeOrion is great! Easy to play on the Surface while sitting by the TV with the wife.

As long as you don't scratch the surface of the wife of course

Same here. I was going to point out that if even MS rolled that sort of offering back, who are these guys to try it...?

Thanks for posting, I'll check it out tonight. I'm only confused about the 'subscribe for 12$' button on top of that page - does it mean that newsletter subscription costs money? That could hardly be called a freebie, if that's the case.

That's only if you want "Battletech" apparently, freebies must be er... free !
