There’s a Warcraft mobile game?

Nevermind, I don’t care.

I have a Logitech mouse. I just used a 3rd party app to remap.

Better mouse for Mac, but looks like you’re on Linux? There’s bound to be something

So last week my boss gave me 4 older laptops and I was looking for games that would work on Thinkpad T420s with Mint.

I got Myth II running on those 4 Linux machines and 2 Macs. I have 3 friends to LAN party it with.

Check out Project Magma.

They’ve been doing the work for decades now to keep the game alive. You need a “disc” to install (available on myabandonware.com), but they have installers that do all the heavy lifting of getting it to work on modern machines.

Then the two must-have plug-ins are Twice Born Edition, which gives you upscaled graphics and The Fallen Lords: Deluxe Edition, which gives you the Myth:TFL campaign in Myth II: Soulblighter. I also installed about 80 co-op/solo scenario plug-ins to play too, but you don’t have to unless you want to. Siege of Belial and The Long Journey series look pretty fun but haven’t tried them yet.

I fucking loved Myth as a kid and I am absolutely stoked that I can play it again.

Also, with the speed that games have been coming out the last 20 years, there’s always something on sale to play

He’s shut up for a while now. Sure people may have cooled down but they still think he’s massive fuckwad and buying his cars is a bad idea.

You could argue that games have gotten worse

I was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.

Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.

I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]

Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.

So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)

We have bins around our city for people to drop electronics off for recycling. I’ve taken a few laptops from there. You’re not supposed to, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

One I gave to my buddy who needed something just for emails and web browsing and whatnot, one is running a server, and a couple more went back in to the bin because they were actually broken, but I took the hard drives for the server machine. I have one on a self ready in case the server machine dies so I haven’t gone looking for any new ones in a while.

Subhumans are so good

This sounds pretty cool. It seems similar in concept to a different 90s MMO I already play, Clan Lord. I’ll give it a shot later, but I don’t know if I can commit to twoMMOs

I care more about how little rich people pay more than I care about how much I pay. I also care about my tax dollars being wasted.

DOGE could actually be a good thing if it were actually looking through the functions of government to eliminate redundancies, waste, and leakage.

But nope, it’s run by a man child who uses his idea of economics (which is informed by right-wing memes) to eliminate government programs that actually help people and the economy.

I got the first 2 free with GwG (RIP) and the 3rd for $12 on sale.

Guess I‘m not a real fan.

lol I’m not changing it

Is this how they’ll use AI to write new Star Wats canon?

I don’t think GTA games have ever used pre-rendered cut scenes

You don’t have to do everything in an open world game. Just go from main mission to main mission and you’ve pretty much turned it in to a linear game.

Ha!

My ISP sends me emails saying (paraphrased) “we’re only forwarding this email because we have to. We don’t track your data and your IP logs are wiped every 30 days. Your best option is not to respond because then they would know who you are.”

I’m not entirely sure tbh

Truth Social and Threads are just Mastodon instances, aren’t they?

Does it have to be though?

Another phrase like this one:

It is what it is.

No no. It is what it is because people made it what is. People can change what it is.
