I run Windows 10 on my own laptop and Windows 11 on my work laptop. Sluggish is the right word for W11: every action seems to take more clicks, more time and more effort. I suspect it’s partly because the animations are slower because it needs to load more bullshit.

StarCraft 2 was the perfect competitive RTS, with the best pro scene. I lived and breathed that game for years. Sucks that Blizzard decided to stop supporting it.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Good to know, thanks!

Which Linux distro are you using? I’m considering switching over somewhere this year, but I’m not sure which distro would be best for gaming + regular user stuff.

Almost forgot: The Pillars of the Earth is a great adventure game, following a number of medieval people throughout their lives, in the context of the building of a cathedral. It’s on sale at GOG right now: https://www.gog.com/en/game/ken_folletts_the_pillars_of_the_earth_season_pass

Four Last Things has two sequels. I haven’t gotten around to the last game yet, but I really enjoyed the first two. They’re puzzle games trying yo get as many fart jokes out of Renaissance paintings as possible.

There’s a sale going on on the entire bundle, including a fun earlier game by the same guy: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/47089/The_Games_by_Joe_Richardson_Bundle/

AFAIK Lost Coast is now included in HL2

Thanks for the info, sounds good!

Thanks for the tip!

Which Linux distro are you using? I’m also considering switching because of Windows 10 going EOL, but there are a lot to choose from.

Thanks for the insight! StarCraft 2 is in a similar state (remaining healthy and fun despite the lack of developer support), so that’s a good sign :)

Good to hear! Is it still fun to play?

I burned out because of the constant pressure from battle passes and meta changes, so a more stable meta might not be all that bad.

Oh sorry, I misread the thing about new cards, but the rest holds up!

Thanks! I checked the website, and apparently Ranked is still active enough that the devs are putting effort into new cards, rotations and patches: https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/game-updates/patch-5-10-notes/

Maybe I’ll try it again before November. Too bad there isn’t an active LoR community on Lemmy.

Is LoR still alive? I used to play it for a few years until I just got tired of CCGs in general, but the Arcane season 2 trailer made me all nostalgic again. Back then (before the Reddit exodus) it seemed like the game would be taken down anytime soon.

Yeah, that’s true.

Beside what Citizen Kong said, I wouldn’t start playing a game right after release. Give them a few weeks to iron out the bugs.

People were sharing all sorts of conspiracy theories about how Bethesda is trying to erase F1, 2 and NV from history before Howard did the interview, like here: https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/in-which-i-mostly-debunk-the-latest-fallout-controversy-that-claims-todd-howard-used-the-fallout-show-to-retcon-non-bethesda-fallout-games/#article-comments

It’s tiresome to see the wrong interpretation repeated, even after they set the story straight.
