So, I started playing World of Warcraft again this weekend ... 😁
I've been playing it on and off since just after its European release in 2005. My oldest characters have reached legal drinking age. 😅
I stopped playing in 2021 as I really disliked the Shadowlands expansion. The one before was excellent, and I'm now playing Dragonflight from 2022, which also seems good so far. There is a new one coming after the summer or thereabouts. We'll see how long I last this time!
World of Warcraft still runs smoothly on Linux too, which makes me very happy. I hate having a dual partition setup with Windows because then I have to reboot to access my regular stuff.
Also, it looks so much better in 24x9 ratio as opposed to the previous 16x9 format, or shudder 4x3 like back when I started. Now all my action bars, chat windows and quest log widgets are out of my way. I opted out of running full 32x9 as I had to turn my head to read things. 😋
It took me a while, but I finally got things set up to play #HideousDestructor on Doom. I've been watching @El_Draculo for a while, and I've really wanted to give it a go myself. It was super-easy to set up thanks to #CleanDoom, so tnx a bunch for that 😍
MS: "Hello Alex, my dearest friend, would you like to update the firmware of your XBOX Wireless controller?"
Alex: "Gee, thanks MS! How do I update the firmware?!"
MS: "Install Windows 11 and connect it with USB, open up the XBOX app"
Alex: "Go eff down in flames"
Rare has broken #SeaOfThieves on #Linux. It no longer works. What I love about this is the fact that a lot of Linux users are angry and demanding a quick fix for the game on their operating system. #LinuxGaming has come such a long way that we have now grown balls to demand the product we paid for to be functional. And the best part is that Rare is "aware of the issue and working on a fix."
