Not the summer sale but the Steam fest, I played House Flipper 2 demo, I really enjoyed it and it turned out it was the most played one.
House Flipper is a sort of simulator, the purpose of the game is to buy houses in horrible conditions, renovate them and resell them, there's something oddly satisfying in it, I love it :D
I never used Facebook not Twitter or Instagram, but I was very active on Reddit.
The key to a successful migration, in my opinion, is being involved enough in alternatives that you stop caring about your old mainstream accounts, that doesn't happen in a day but it's an ongoing process.
What I'm doing (in practice), I created my account here when the protest started, I took the time off reddit to search for alternatives to the subs I was in and actively participate in them, after a while I stopped caring about reddit, so much that I unsubbed from everything and I don't even follow its news anymore.
I didn't ditch reddit completely yet because there are a couple of niche subs that are not easily replaceable, so I still check those every now and then, but compared to how active I was before, I'm basically not contributing anything anymore.
It's just a matter of time IMO before those niche subs will grow on the fediverse, I don't know how long it'll take but when it happens I'll be done with reddit forever.
I honestly find it hard to believe they just forgot about legendary runes, in my opinion it's more likely they didn't properly assessed the consequences of their changes, it doesn't look good either way unfortunately.
Not the end of the world but I was so eager to get official news about it :(
If you never played WoW before, I suggest you play the official one before dabbling with emulators/private servers, it's a much better experience if you know nothing about the game.
WoW client is not native on Linux but it runs flawlessly regardless, always have, it's also very easy to install with Lutris: https://lutris.net/games/world-of-warcraft/, use the battle.net script and follow instructions to install dependencies first.
Opensource yes, original impossible.
WoW server emulators have been in development for over a decade, they're public projects on GitHub and released under opensource licenses, all private servers use those emulators, none of them has original code, it's never been stolen.
You can compile them for Linux (as well as Windows), how well they work depends on the version, up to WoTLK they're fine, from Cata on they're quite bad.
You will need the original clients that are Windows only but they work flawlessly with WINE.
Most popular projects:
I actually did it for the Toothless skin :D
That's only beehaw tho, it's quite an unique community, it's not representative of the "average" lemmy server.
I know of beehaw defederating from a lot of instances, that doesn't make them isolated tho, there are still a lot of instances they're federated with.
I played the hell out of Rift before it went F2P, it had 2 support specs (Bard (rogue) and Archon (mage)) that were mandatory in raids but not so much in dungeons, raid bosses were designed around having them while in dungeons there were useful only if dungeons were new so people weren't geared enough yet for them. I guess that would equal to raids and m+ designed around support going forward.
If people actually end up being OK with doing less damage because they buff the group
That's not something to take for granted IMO, some people just want to top the dps meters, that happened in Rift regardless of the game being designed with support in mind from the start, I believe it will happen in WoW too, tho it's perfectly fine.
In any case, I love what they're doing, support is fun and "shaking the meta" this way is fun too IMO, gives people something totally new to learn.
Yeah I can't believe it either, someone on the official forums speculated it could be just a case of extremely poor internal communication, meaning devs probably did plan something about it but that info didn't reach community managers, I hope that's the case, we'll find out soon enough.
I'm very salty myself lol, not only I have all 7 runes but I also made the sigils, with the specific purpose of not having to grind gear upgrades ever again and not cluttering my inventory/bank with them.
I agree with you and it's sad to see you're being downvoted for stating something that should be obvious.
I don't like religions in general because I find them incoherent on many aspects, but that's not a good reason to attack them, they're not breaking rules, just ignore them.
