I was sure it wouldn’t but it sure does!

Doesn’t work for piefed though it seems. Or I just don’t know where to find it :D

I started on .world but lemm.ee was truly where I’ve found my fedi home. Thank you for the good times.

after which we went to my house and watched The Fellowship of the Rings (the extended edition😎) together

You clearly struck gold

Just how high are you?

How the hell is this not the Onion?

I like to ask people for their opinions

Going to take this opportunity to ask if anyone knows about a good alternative?

First two are collections of short stories so there is no big time invesment with testing it out. You can try the waters and see how you like the style and if you don’t like it enough to continue, at least you have a book that works on its own.

Yes, but them not calling it out in the article makes me thing this is not the case here. If it would be done locally, it would not be as bad. But I somehow doubt it would be.

Yes, books came out some years before games. I think around late 80s/early 90s. My understanding is in Poland even people not usually into fantasy know of the books. And it is a classic in the surrounding region.

Games are fairly faithful to the books, at least in spirit. There are some problematic things lore wise that they did in games but I can understand why with most. No adaptation can be 1:1 and I understand it. Overall, I’m happy with how the games ended up.

First game, I didn’t like that much though. One thing is that the age is showing on the gameplay. I could get over that, but the story also recycled too many things from the books. The main story is its own thing, but there are many story beats that felt copied, with some things changed up to mask it. Pretty sure some sidequests were just stories from books, but with diferent characters. I like a good callback, but this game went a bit too far with them for my taste (also didn’t help I read the books just before going into the game - so it was all fresh in my mind).

Story wasn’t bad overall, but it broke the immersion and I just couldn’t get over it. This in combination with the aged gameplay just made me look for a recap and play the Witcher 2 instead.

Stoked for the announced remake of the Witcher 1 though.

I’m a huge Witcher fan and couldn’t stomach the first game unfortunately. Luckily there is a neat recap video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X52-ssOk2KM

I do recommend playing the second one before the third though, even though the stories are standalone.

I do recommend the books if you feel like it. Books -> Witcher 1 recap vid -> Witcher 2 -> Witcher 3 is my recommendation for best experience.

Article doesn’t state this but I assume this is done via Copilot, so anything you use it on goes direct to Microsoft cloud, right?

Since they say they will be giving you a quick lesson… might be allright. It will most likely need some time to get used to it but you might be fine. See how the quick lesson goes? They might show you around the neighborhood for you to then drive around yourself and get used to it a bit.

It will be a whole another thing to keep in mind so be extra careful with your driving probably

In alpha I think? They have a playable version afaik, but not released, no. Can spend thousands on virtual ships tho

I mean… yeah, I know, but conversion therapies? In 2025? Might as well apply leeches to cure flu

How the hell is this not banned already?!

Seems like incorrect link, links to the picture

I’ve had F-Droid since it’s inception and got no clue why others don’t use it

I’ll tell you - average user just doesn’t know about it. And doesn’t know the benefits.

I mean… technically, yes, we all do good and bad stuff.

But you can’t say Hitler was a good person just because he was against animal cruelty. I don’t think any person out there is cartoonishly evil to a point they never did anything good - that doesn’t make those evil persons not evil.

Good news - they are indeed making a sequel
