Imagine trying to make a helpdesk of a proprietary company take your “it’s taking 0.5 seconds longer to login” complaint seriously…

Maybe he wasn’t sloppy by accident if he was indeed coerced by someone. I don’t think we’ll ever find out the backstory of this though.

Neverwinter Nights (the first one) and Heroes of Might and Magic (3 and 4). They’re just so comfortable for me to play so I just start them up when I’m to stressed out to play anything new.

They’re just saying this because they got caught. They might not even actually stop doing it. And even if they do, they’ll just wait until the majority has forgotten about this and quietly start doing it again…

(any Flatpak user would’ve at some point run into annoying sandboxing limitations - such as password manager and browser integration, or themeing woes)

While I overall do prefer Flatpak over AppImage these days, the sandboxing has indeed been giving me more trouble than I think it is worth so far.

it’s really good if you have a fairly new machine

It’s running well on my 2013 laptop as well.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my desktop and laptop. On my desktop mainly due to newest drivers. I had bought a very new AMD GPU at the time and Tumbleweed was one of the first distros to support it. Switched my laptop to it because of familiarity.
I started my IT career on Debian servers and so my private servers are on Debian too. They were on OpenSUSE Leap for a while but I switched when the future of Leap became a bit uncertain.

I’ll put it behind spoiler tags:

Jumped into the newest patch and expedition of No Man’s Sky. Always good fun but after finishing the tasks of the expedition I always get bored very quickly. :D

In Baldur’s Gate 3 I’m stuck in a fight against a boss in act 3, always getting absolutely smashed even though I’m highest level and have (I think) decent equipment and spells. Haven’t found any guide that explains a way to deal with the fight in the intended way, everyone just says to cheese the fight which I’d like to honestly avoid. :/

The editor is in the game, no external tools needed.

I know the Enhanced Editions of BG1 and 2 allow you to choose from different scripts and there’s a few On/Off buttons, but nothing like the PoE editor where you could do things like “If 3 enemies stand around you, use this spell” or “If enemy is threatening an ally, use this ability on ally, but only if $resource is higher than x and only once every 30 seconds.”

Guild Wars for some nostalgia and Baldur’s Gate 3 (second playthrough).
I plan to start WH40k Rogue Trader when I’m done with BG3…so that could take a few weeks still :D

I had to start Pillars 1 multiple times until it clicked for me and I was able to finish it. It’s a good foundation that Pillars 2 very much improved on. A feature in 2 I absolutely love and wish more party-based games would include is the (albeit rudimentary) editor for the party behavior.
I often struggle controlling multiple units at once so that editor was a godsend for me! Too bad it’s the only game I can think of that has something like this. :(

If this defaults to off, I’m turning it on.

I’m not aware of any distro that automatically clears a user’s .cache in their home directories. Maybe you’re thinking of /var/cache?

Gonna go for a renegade run across all three just to see what happens lol

I told myself the same once but I just couldn’t do it. 😭

Baldur’s Gate 3 is my main game currently after taking a break from it for a while. If I just need something where I don’t have to think too much I boot up Risk of Rain Returns.
Also been in a kind of MMO mood recently so I tried out Neverwinter, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV, but found myself not really having fun with those.

I played through NFS Heat which was more enjoyable than I had expected especially since I got it during the hefty 90% off sale recently.

Now I got a bit nostalgic and installed divine divinity again.

My experience with modding games while using Proton on Linux (without Workshop support): It’s atrocious, cumbersome and even outright does not work for some games because communities tend to build a Mod Manager (that then other mods start to hard depend on) that does not work in that environment at all. I’m at the point where I don’t even bother trying it out if there’s not workshop support.
