do chinese players keep their accounts on these servers from before the wipe? I'm a hearthstone player and I remember feeling so bad for the players that had invested all that time to build all those decks and collect all those cards and then suddenly they just poofed out of existence.
I don't expect that data to have been preserved, but it'd be nice for the CN playerbase of blizz games to actually get their account back
thank you! do you have any resources for someone new to using i2p?
it happens, they're super close :) i know I've made worse mistakes lol
agree with everything you said here, but if im not the pedant someone else will be -- sedentary, not sedimentary. At least I don't like to think I'm sediment
wait can you explain what this is/how it works? I've never heard of it before
I really enjoyed the original, and this remake is fantastic for bringing it to a new audience, but as much as I love seeing something I enjoyed get a new coat of paint there's still something.... Missing, from this adaptation I suppose? Not that it's bad or it's missing anything through any fault of its own, it's just that something about spice and wolf is greatly benefitted from the warmth of older animation. I do prefer the new voice acting though, the performances feel more nuanced and true to the characters. It's an interesting give and take
In any case this episode is as charming as always but it's definitely making me consider medium of animation more than I really have watching other shows.
Piggybacking on my genshin suggestion, another suggestion would be Guild Wars 2? It's world is more open than most MMOs and since it's over a decade old there's a ton of content there. There's a lot as a free2play player, but you can buy expansions if you want even more to explore, and I genuinely think gw2's exploration is best-in-class. It's also benefitted by being an old game in terms of old computers being able to run it, you'd probably have to play on low graphics but it'll certainly run. Hope that's more useful if you dont wanna do gacha stuff like genshin!
that's totally fair. I think you can do most of the story and exploration stuff without grinding much but if even that is too much grinding it's probably not worth the effort. Hope you find what you're looking for!
In all honesty, genshin impact is a pretty reasonable facsimile of that sort of game. It's really grown into its own, and it's really fun and absolutely massive
That said, I'd only advise it if you are 100% confident you won't engage in any of the gacha systems -- you can play and enjoy the game with the free characters the game gives you, but once you start engaging with the gacha that can be a really dangerous slippery slope. If that's something that you could fall prey to, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you think you can play it without investing any money (or, really, more money than you can afford, I don't know your financial situation) it's actually a really great time, and the story's only gotten better as it's gone on. There's definitely some stipulations with it, but it's worth experiencing if you feel like those are acceptable
IIRC the quest 2 is jailbroken, if you can get your hands on one secondhand might be worth looking around to see what your options are

every time i go back home to nc the first thing i insist upon is getting a cookout tray
I really love my framework laptop, even if I spend a majority of my computing time on my desktop. It's just a nice piece of hardware and there's like a genuine mental ease I get out of knowing I can fix my shit without needing to rma it if something small and dumb goes wrong. Also, as someone who got the version with the shitty hinge weight and bad speakers, being able to upgrade them was nice. It's cool being able to upgrade components like that.
But with all that praise, God the firmware is a mess. After hearing reports of how bad the battery life gets on Linux I've been basically restricted into using windows. And I use windows on my main desktop, I don't hate windows 11 like many others, but I'd like the option to use Linux on my laptop and with their software/firmware as it is, I basically just don't have that luxury. I hope they talk the talk with making these changes, but it seems like framework has done that so far so I'm genuinely hopeful. Just hope it's on a reasonable time table, too
