It’s pretty much the same game but better. Mordor feels a little more dated in comparison, but it still stands on its own compared to War. If you liked Mordor, you’ll definitely like War even more

It was quite some time ago when I played the game, so I might not remember everything.

• The story felt like it was a good continuation of the first title and somewhat tied in to the books/movies.
• The combat was fleshed out more with more moves and weapons
• more interesting uruks, personalities, afflictions they can developed as a result of the way you killed them first
• the sieges were a cool addition

It was definitely more of the same in a way but it was executed well. There was that whole controversy around real-money loot boxes to pull good uruks from that you could employ to guard your fort, in a way being pay 2 win if you had money to spend on loot boxes. But at least that was removed and made free.

I just realised the game came out like 7 years ago. Where does the time go…

You didn’t like the game too much, I take it?

How dare you lie on the internet

Shadow of War is even better. Are you planning on playing that at some point too?

Love Anki and have been using the android app for around 2 years now to study for exams. For the longest time, my study routine consisted of reading my notes from class, adding more info if something is missing, and repeatedly rewriting the text before me in shorter summaries to somehow retain the information and learn. I was sure that I couldn’t work with flashcards.

Ever since I tried Anki, it’s been going a lot better. It’s not too much of a hassle to create a deck and add flashcards, and studying gets easier for me too. It helped my short attention for studying too

After finding out that you can (rather easily) jailbreak the 3DS family consoles, I promptly did so for my childhood 3DS, loaded a bunch of Layton games onto it and gave it to my SO for her birthday two years ago. She’s had a blast with it. No way in hell will I be paying 100+€ just for two used copies of the 3DS Layton games if I can just jailbreak the console and get all the games I could want.

After clowning on it for years, I also got myself a 2DS because it was the cheapest 3DS-family handheld I could afford and have had a lot of fun with it too

Not OP, but I haven’t seen it recommended in this thread yet: the Monster Hunter games for 3DS are really good. Specifically 4 Ultimate is considered by fans of the games to be among the very best the series has to offer. Added verticality to the previously very flat games, lots of new moves for existing weapons that make them actually viable options, amazing new monster designs and areas etc etc. Huge recommendation. The story is also actually quite passable and engaging compared to previous entries.

If you’ve played Monster Hunter back in the PSP days, Generations might be up your alley since it’s kind of like a best-of title of most main-line MH games prior. Really beautiful homage to the roots of the franchise

If only it were that easy

To tell which sounds are voiced or voiceless, put a finger or two on your larynx and look for the vibration. /th/ as in “thread” is voiceless - no vibration - whereas /th/ in “the” is voiced - vibration

Heeell yea :3

Thanks for taking the time to try and give useful advise. I think it’s lost on this one, sadly

Lutris and one other program is used for that, I seem to remember. I’ll probably have to do some research. What’s the current go-to distro for gaming?

What would adding the games to Steam accomplish? I assume I can’t just log on to my account and have the required files to download and install the games since they’re not originally from Steam. Or is it just a matter of being able to launch them once they’re added to the client? Or a convenience thing?

If someone, totally not me, were in possession of exe-files of games outside a platform like Steam, Epic or whatever, would it be possible to run them on a Linux distribution? Say something like a Steam rip or a GOG rip. Said someone has tried researching but didn’t find any conclusive answers

I’m pretty bad at RTS because I get overwhelmed by the amount of options you have at any given moment. Star Craft, Warcraft, Age of Empires - doesn’t matter. :D

I think I also remember building times for units to be super long. Do I remember correctly?

I remember seeing a friend of mine play Supreme Commander back in the day and it looked fun but hella complicated. I remember there being some green-coded race that had some sort of princess as a leader? They have a spaceship that looks like a donut

Yea it used to but it’s been killed by Riot’s new Vanguard anti-cheat system. It’s also kernel level afaik, so it’s officially impossible to play League on Linux now

I suspect I might have ADHD and that would explain many of my shortcomings in school, university, now school again, as well as in my private life. Wouldn’t a diagnosis help with choosing the right direction to tackle these problems from?

Like, if I know it’s ADHD, I know that it’s a brain-chemistry problem and if it’s not, it’s maybe just a generell attitude or overall motivation problem? I see your point about the focus not needing to be on the diagnosis but on treating the symptoms themselves, regardless of diagnosis, but wouldn’t treatment look different then?

I recently built a PC and installed Windows 10 on it because I primarily built it to play League of Legends (don’t judge me). Aside from that, I’ve also found a couple ways to get my hands on other games as well. My other daily driver already Kubuntu installed onto it and I’d really like to use some distro on this desktop PC, but it’s just not really practicable since all the games would be running from exe files or have anti-cheat (screw you League). I don’t really see a way around this apart from using virtual Windows for the games within Linux, right?

I think the issue is rule 2 of the community you posted to
