“We kinda already knew.”

I imagine that's probably one of the most desired reactions to coming out, no?

If I eat a ton of garlic, and you eat a ton of garlic, can one of us recognize the smell of the other? in c/[email protected]

Rationally I know you will smell one another but I still maintain the opinion it will cancel each other out as a joke - to great frustration of my wife

Mine is Gothic and Soul Reaver - getting both so I'm a happy camper

And not a "don't do this" kind of warning. More of a "this will happen, get ready" kind of warning

I'd subscribe to that community

I played many but that's before I switched - so far only played GW2 and Albion Online (which has Linux client so goes without saying it works)

Now I'm thinking I might try out a couple again just to test how some of them function.

TLDR: If you like massive multiplayer games, those might not work. Most of the rest will if using compatibility settings in steam

I didn't try many but for what it's worth GW2 works flawlessly through Steam or Lutris

The [no] future of BLUE PROTOCOL [shutdown] (www.playblueprotocol.com)
 

I didn't follow the game super closely but it looked nice. Shame we will never get to try it at least.

Anybody has experience with GW2 on Linux? (lemm.ee)
 

So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?

I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.

How to ease up the return to GW2 (lemm.ee)
 

I thought I'd try GW2 after years of not playing (last I played was PoE era, bounced off fully before Icebrood saga) and finally managed to get into it!

I used to live and breath this game and while I was not what you'd call "hardcore" player, I knew about everything going on. Now I'm totally in the black which is weird. I try not to get it to me, I just play through the Icebrood saga story now and try my best not to open inventory and achievement tabs etc to not get discouraged. GW2 was always a bit convoluted, but with so much added in the meantime, it's much.

How do you deal with this? What would be your recommendations for me to "ease into it"? What should I engage after getting my groove back in the story? How to dip my toes slowly into buildcrafting? What new systems should I check out?

Bonus question: would you expect the xpacs to go on sale anytime soon? Next one should be around the corner by now, no?

I know many people were waiying for this so thought I'd share.

I don't play Albion much, fresh start might be interesting but not keen on regrinding stuff... How about you?

Can someone ELI5 for me how Piped works? (lemm.ee)
 

So I mostly transitioned to Piped and ever since I was wondering how it works. I read up on it and while I get what it says, I still don't feel like I really understand...

Does watching on Piped count views and such? (lemm.ee)

So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...

I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.

Anyone has the famous reddit story with the immortal snail? (lemm.ee)

There was this legendary comment on reddit to a thread asking people what would their plan be if they were immortal and got milion dollars, but there was a superintelligent immortal snail also with milion dollars who would want to kill them. I was trying to find it but as far as I can tell OP removed it. Does anyone here have it and could post it here by any chance?
