Surprise, surprise - it's pen and paper!

I, quite literally, am too afraid to make a background because this was one of my best works so far.

Linux sounds very difficult to me

balmy plume
#

But Linux Mint is actually pretty easy to install!

#

All you need is one USB stick (which for what you need, are pretty cheap) and a clear disk/drive (SSD, HDD)

#

and- whuh
why does middle mouse paste stuff huhnter

#

Anyways, the best part is that you don't have to worry about intrusive Windows updates! artihappy

#

If I had to see that damn Copilot AI pop-up one more time... hunterangy

wind bloom
#

me with windows pro so I can manually disable updates and prevent microsoft from doing stupid microsoft stuff

#

I tried moving to a version of arch at once point but I learned you can't stream audio on discord in linux without some supremely jank setup stuff

#

my attempts to follow guides led to pipewire self-destructing to the point I'd need a reinstall anyways

balmy plume

"pretty easy" in the sense that reading the wiki won't instantly blast your brain to bits

#

Mint Cinnamon is my old stomping ground when I was in college, I used it for a good while as a steam box in the dorms

#

I used Ubuntu up until the discourse about the bad parent company and moved to Mint

#

Lubuntu was my laptop system for classwork for a good while

balmy plume
#

Gonna try booting up Archnightsalute

#

I suddenly got a flashback to my lethal fear of bootscreens
I think I'm gonna leave Arch for later... Yeah...

spiral matrix
#

I have dual boot

#

Linux mint is pretty cool

balmy plume
#

I just had two software related nightmares in a row, and it just flipped a switch in my mind that made me install Linux

unkempt yew
#

What's a Linux?

spiral matrix
#

OS

balmy plume
unkempt yew
#

Or even heard of it

balmy plume
spiral matrix
#

It's an open source OS basically, there's different versions of it that do different things. It's main draw is it's open source though and you can customize it to your needs.

#

There's a linux OS for people who rather have windows but not windows (Mint, Zorin), the people who decide that they rather live in the command line (Arch), and stuff like Red Hat for ethical hacking and that sort of thing.

balmy plume
unkempt yew
#

Huh, such complex things saintstare

spiral matrix
#

It's as complex as you make it

#

Mint for example is very easy to install

#

Arch....is purely for bragging rights

balmy plume
#

I installed Mint and the hardest part was trying to figure out how to install Arch and from there realize that "Man, I don't wanna install Arch..."

#

Mint is pretty similar to Windows but without all the annoying Microsoft corporate stuff

spiral matrix
#

I have Mint purely to say that I use dual boot

#

It's a lovely OS though

balmy plume
#

I honestly installed Mint earlier this morning and already plan to completely wipe Windows 10 from my disks

spiral matrix

Enjoy then :P

Super mario galaxy is so good

I'll just stick the Portly Plummer into a go Kart or an arena and that's it

Twilight princess is one of my faves

#

Skyward sword… eh

iron totem

I like skyward sword

#

The motion controls really brought it down for me slugpensive

#

And fi and the excessive handholding

iron totem

The motion controls can be a bit jank, I will admit

Dungeon design was great though, and the story was fun (nevermind fi)

One of the best looking zelda games

Never played the N64 games but saw a playthrough of both

favorites in order: majora, botw, tp, ocarina, windwaker, skyward, totk

I haven’t played the 2d games

Ganondorf is to zelda what Bowser is to mario

austere hawk

Or the 3ds windwaker sequel/spinoffs

lament blade
#

Still wouldn't claim OoT is thr "best game of all time" given how time has changed but I can see why it was great for its time

Spirit tracks and minish cap are good

Here an iconic theme from Ocarina of Time during on of the cooler sections of the game imho. This track is fast and tricky. Pianists be warned.

Graphics for me don't necessarily have to be the best ever. Just wait another two years for new graphics...

#

Pixel Art is timeless.

lament blade
#

But so long as it works and I'm not getting bombarded by unnecessary visual noise or something jarring, I'm good with whatever

Graphics are a bonus at best

lament blade

Played Jedi Academy and ho boy those facial animations aged like milk

If the gameplay element is not fun, then the game is dead.

I love rain world's look

lament blade

They are ugly but in a beautiful way

trim tartan
#

How dare you.

#

Simple, I can accept.

#

But ugly?

lament blade
#

I mean, Garbage is literally garbage but the rest of the place isn't

iron totem
#

Rain world is certainly not simple

austere hawk
#

I think they mean

trim tartan
#

Might as well start calling Ultrakill ugly.

iron totem
#

It's quite cluttered

austere hawk
#

The rotted, decayed look

trim tartan
#

Oh! That look.

austere hawk
#

Generally dull colors etc

#

I wouldn’t call it ugly

lament blade
#

What about the Fallout games?

trim tartan
#

In that case, decayed.

austere hawk
#

I think it’s really beautiful.

Rain world is very industrial looking

trim tartan

Ugly, absolutely not.

plucky zenith

one of my favorite moments in gaming was the top of the tree in Gorum's campaign

It’s not conventionally very pretty.

such finality in that scene

But it does have beauty to it.

#

How about this stupid argument? "It's old so therefore it's bad"

#

Anyone else despise that one?

austere hawk
#

But the way the shadows and light filter through it all, combined with the colorful creatures and general vibes make it quite pretty to me

#

I find myself just staring at the backgrounds often

So that you would spend more money on them

-# Ultrakill.

austere hawk
#

So artificial difficulty :/

#

They do the same shit these days with unnecessary grind

lament blade
#

I mean, for crying out loud I like playing a game from 1998 just to watch trains go choo-choo even if I don't win

austere hawk
#

Or endless repetitive tasks

#

iron totem
#

I don't play those games

austere hawk
#

Good choice

iron totem
#

Good indie games artihappy

austere hawk
#

I ended up getting the recent avatar game

#

And there’s a ghost of a good game in there somewhere

lament blade
iron totem
#

And I can't run these modern high graphics games anyway

austere hawk
#

But it’s buried under ubi’s bs

lament blade
#

I know

#

But it runs on repition is my point

austere hawk
#

Ah, but that repetition is the heart and soul of the game

#

It’s fun

#

Though I definitely have strong feelings on world’s decorations system…

lament blade
#

True. Though MH is a difficult club to join due to its nature. Free for all but you have to like the grind

austere hawk
#

If you don’t connect with MH’s gameplay loop you won’t have a good time yeah

#

Ubi’s issue is that their repetitive shit is boring busywork that is designed to pad out the hours and game world

#

In MH the repetition is the entire point of the game and is made to be fun

lament blade
#

True, just wanted to point out that it does repetition also and that it's a very thin line between fun and mind numbingly boring

#

Then again, racing games and not even those where you fling turtle shells at each other...

#

People love those also

austere hawk
#

It’s rare a game can present a repetitive loop in a way that stays engaging

#

I actually just played inscryption

#

And it’s similar. Repetitive game loop

#

Very fun

Calender can work if you are workaholic

#

Since you won't care about it feeling like work

#

And it will improve your efficiency

plucky zenith
#

Maybe I don't get why setting aside time for something ahead of time necessarily means it must feel like work huntershruggy

lime ingot
#

I think its about having to do it at the same time everytime constantly

austere hawk
#

Just a difference in mindset/personality I think

lime ingot
#

Which makes it feel like work

austere hawk
#

I’m not always capable of writing, it seems, even when I want to

#

Setting aside a time and then getting nothing done would just feel like a failure and stress me out

plucky zenith
#

I kinda feel the opposite

#

having a predetermined time means I don't need to feel bad for not writing outside of that hour and a half each day

I don't have that problem since I can easily start out forcing myself to work and then get into the swing of things

Now that I am thinking about it I am truly a machine made to work I never get sick, I can easily force myself to work, I don't care if something feels like work or not, I don't question what I am doing if given instructions (unless the instructions are vague), the only problem is that I am overall slow at doing anything

make things feel new again monksilly

my pvp game of choice was battle for neighborville

I played it for one champion only

#

I have a ridiculous number of mastery points on him

#

But I'm competitive, and the game has a big player base, it can be appealing to play a game with a lot of competition....but he's complete garbage now. It finally got to the point for me it just wasn't fun anymore.

#

Got tired of sometimes getting hit by one skillshot deciding if my game was gonna be hell or not

Still have friends that want me to play norms with em sometimes tho

Can you spawn multiple pets

one normal pet and one pet that produces light, though im sure a mod can add the ability to have more pets

idk if minions count as pets but if they do, summoner has lots of summon weapons catnod

I thought terraria doesn't have classes?

is that a mod thing, or is there gear for summoning weapons?

¤Mages & Warriors & Hunters: Qhar?¤
