Deep down, I understand that movies like Matrix are old... but John Wick?!

Very happy with Linux Mint

I use a Steam Link, but that's no longer available as hardware, only an app. I don't have any experience with it but I read somewhere you can set up RaspberyPi to work in the same way.

Though I have to say - while it works wirelessly, for games it is better to have wired connection.

Man, I was already feeling ancient. You using "1900s" didn't help much :D

Man rotary phones were the best! Such a joy to dial.

They were quite big, but used super thin paper and small font. There were books thicker still, but still the phrase "thick as a phone book" was used.

There were also Yellow Pages (same format as phone books, but entirely yellow) which listed businesess and stuff.

Pre-internet these were the household essentials.

There was also a number you could call to ask for phone numbers or other stuff. Basically a call in google.

Haha, yeah, I saw that post before finding this question.

No idea how it's called but the one that goes like "maya hi,maya ho, maya ha, maya ha ha"

I hate that song with a burning passion of thousand suns.

If anybody does it would be the perfect answer on multiple levels.

Too soon, man...

But seriously, it is tragically short, but worth it. And at least they managed to tie up things with the movie.

Seconding Stargate, ideal for what OP is looking for.

Also Firefly for something with similar energy.

Maybe I just don't remember how exactly Ace looks in game anymore and the fanart has tome unique take the Nerf company took? I just see Ace of Spades more or less how I remember so that might be why I'm confused

 

I prefer podcasts with at least two people, infotmational but also with some fun banter in between. Couldn't find anything like that - not many active ones in general that I could find.

Podcasts that don't meet above criteria also welcome. Though would be best if it is active podcats that still gets new episodes

 

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

 

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.

 

More details in a MOP article here

 

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?

 

I'd br interested in what you'd consider a good book (or other sources) on various pagan beliefs and traditions that you would recommend.

I'm personally interested in European pagan traditions - be it Norse, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic (bonus points for Slavic!) - but would love to leave the topic open to others as well, just to make it interesting for people with different intrests.

 

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...
