Welp, I've given up on trying to play this with you guys this evening. I've been able to install Ubuntu on my chromebook and run Blockland through wine, but despite my best efforts after having the game on for merely a minute, my chromebook bricks to a black screen and I'm forced to hard reboot.
I'm assuming it's hardware related, as I am still using a chromebook.
When I get home and I'm back at my desktop, I'll try to get on these old servers, I'm always down for a little nostalgic junk.
