Only 5.4 hours before you hit a UUID collision. That’s insane

He was a sorcerer who was well spoken so he came across as wizard-y.

Yeah, the player got kicked out for a drug problem, I heard.

Pretty sure even pirated copies can make a Larian account and add friends thru that.

Don’t pirate from OnlyFans, support small business owners.

Startpage is similarly anonymous, but it uses Google search

It lets you install stuff manually too, plus manage the Proton version you use to run it. So for instance if you have an old game on CD, you could install that with Heroic and launch it through there, letting Heroic keep your Proton version up to date. Same thing with pirated games.

For installing games outside of steam, I highly recommend Heroic Games Launcher. Even for pirated repacks it works great. The GoG/Epic/Amazon store integrations plus automatic updates are just icing on the cake.

Yep, you’re right. I’ll delete my previous comment. Seems like my info was like 15+ years out of date.

Xanmod has a bunch of little tweaks, mostly I’d say it helps with frame pacing more than anything else. It’s only maybe 1-2fps difference most of the time, but it’s very close to the upstream mainline kernel in terms of release timing, whereas Mint keeps to LTS kernels.

Likewise, the kisak-mesa PPA just keeps you more up to date with the upstream package version.

IMO the biggest differences are responsiveness, frame pacing, and getting to have access to the latest fixes/features ASAP while still getting to use the very stable package versions for the rest of the system.

For my gaming rig I use Mint Cinnamon with the Xanmod kernel and kisak-mesa PPA for bleeding edge performance but otherwise a very low-maintenance, convenient system.

For my personal laptop (ThinkPad T480s) I use Arch with KDE. For my various mini PCs used as servers, I use primarily Debian derivatives, except for my Mac Mini which runs Asahi Arch so I could optimize the use of its 8G of RAM.

I feel that this is really 5e and 4e specific. 3.5 is kinda borderline and in my experience 2e and older definitely do feature things that are effectively “if you go in there you die, lmao” types of obstacles and trend more towards a sort of survival-horror tone, where surviving is in itself an accomplishment.

Yeah, I mean, no shit? It’s a huge cut to tons of critical stuff in order to fund a 7 trillion dollar tax cut to the top 0.1%, so obviously oligarchs bribed that into existence.

Beat you to it. But hard agree
