I’ve been using manjaro for around a year. It broke on me once, probably my fault, idk. I enjoy it! I’ve distro hopped many places and a year is a long time for me, so much about it is right for me. You’ll certainly get a worthy experience of what arch is capable of, I believe.

That being said, I plan on swapping to arch really soon.

I’m crying I loved this game so much, even enough to pilfer through the convoluted mess it is to join a private server lobby to continue playing. Ahh I’m so excited!

The band She/Her/Hers has a song called Nvr Pass about this exactly.

Huh, I’ve used bluetooth mode consistently on my PC. I am on linux however so maybe that has something to do with it.

I do not want 4k on this tiny screen 😭

And people have said it to me too, but move the goalpost to requiring completion to critique. I stopped playing because it wasn’t enjoyable for me, and trust that I would hate it more if I had to deal with it longer than I did.

Kotaku has been releasing quality write-ups on FFXVI since launch, and from most of the spaces I have seen them shared, Kotaku has only received hate for sharing many of the same sentiments I have regarding this game.

Yeah, my work (not a clothing store) says “LGBTQ+ friendly” on google maps in the about section so with a bit of luck maybe a local clothing store has that.

Luella, I just started a couple days ago with a friend of mine :p

I’m not all that far in the game, but it seems progression revolves around crafting. Killing enemies and mining for materials to make various armours and weapons to take of harder dungeons.

I don’t believe there are quests or pvp yet unfortunately, but it still ends up being fun despite being a highly ambitious game truthfully barely scraped the surface of its ambitions yet.

Hey, I recognise your username from Veloren last night!

I have nearly 100 hours and I love it! I love it enough to be concerned about the new update and where it shows the dev teams priorities are and how it will play out in the long term sustainability.

Either way it has far surpassed my expectations, entirely my type of game and I want it to be the best it can be, but it does require better monetisation for it to have healthy growth.

Veloren!

Thanks for sharing Emma! I get pretty doomey thinking about how anything like this would never happen where I live, and it probably won’t for a while. It’s still nice to hear some hope, that this kind of thing isn’t unrealistic.

In the beta, enjoying the game so much! Since nobody has posted, I’ll share mine :3 (you get a free fruit basket decor if you use a referral)

I usually play around an hour each day.

Absolutely no goals, I just enjoy gaming on the go, it’s a vessel for that and I’m a strong candidate.

I’m not really a fan of Let’s Plays, so it makes sense my favourite is CowChop’s Shadow of the Colossus Let’s Play. After around five episodes they abruptly decide to rent an RV and road trip to the Grand Canyon, all while still “playing” the game.

It is surreal.

This is totally relatable. I see gender as a whole as pretty nebulous. For myself, it is anything but easy to understand, and terrifyingly difficult to explain to others. What I hear from you sounds gender-fluid, it may or may not be a label that resonates with you.

It can also be beneficial to see your gender expression as independent from your gender identity. You might still be a woman, but express masc if that’s just the vibe for that day. There shouldn’t be rules. Trans people have suffered enough from gender expectations and pressure. Becoming trans doesn’t remove them, it only shifts them to a new goalpost.

Personally I love titling myself as Non-binary. It’s an umbrella term, independently it isn’t very descriptive. I don’t resonate with gender-fluid, demi-girl, bigender, etc… I sort of see myself as Non-binary as a n act of protest against gender. It’s a social construct as far as I’m concerned, and putting more thought into it feels like a disservice to myself. I spent enough years searching desperately for a label that hasn’t been created yet. It is exhausting, It is constrictive, I don’t want to do that to myself. I wanna do whatever it is I want. My body, my choice, my life, and it damn better be my right too.

Hopefully you figure it out. I technically never did, but what I have found is a path to make myself a lot happier. I hope you can find the same at the very least. Sending you virtual hugs 🤗

Nova Lands vouch, very good.

Windows 11 was announced and I got scared. Steam Deck got announced and I saw a clear hopeful future. I had tried out linux a few times but always had a hiccup with my wireless wifi usb dongle, but now I’m wired with Ethernet. I had a free weekend, had a keen interest in delving, got reassured gaming is solid there, watched a few videos and I plunged.

Personally it took a couple days to get it to a desired state of usability, I have certain niche needs so finding a way to get those while learning the basics of linux took me a while, but aside from that I’ve loved it ever since. I feel in control, the second I have an issue with something I somehow have the freedom to fix it. It’s not perfect, but it always entertains me and I have seen clear innovation in the ~2 years I’ve been here.
