A trump supporter I know, always brings up politics, which I avoid when talking to them.

The past month or so, they have not brought it up at all. So, I think I’m starting to see it.

Haha, well when searching for games that can be self hosted, it’s gives a list which I can then further research on the web.

I just checked the server without logging into the game and it’s using like 106% of the CPU on idle when I logged in and played a little bit. It didn’t change too much but it’s consistently running that high at idle because I guess things in the game world are running so I’m probably going to stop the service and start it when I’m gonna play to just lower my electric usage

I think my preference for halo 1 is pure nostalgia. I have so many memories of my best friend at the time and I going co-op legendary. Or using “gamespy?” To play online matches.

Install wasn’t too bad, I used a mix of chatgpt and install documentation when I get stuck.

One problem I had was that I was aiming for burning crusade, but and chatgpt told me that Azerothcore supported burning crusade.

So after getting the server up and learning this, I had to find a wotlk client.

The choose of expansion was arbitrary, I just didn’t want modern wow.

There are some data files you have to supply, but they can just be downloaded from github and the guide even links to it.

I’m not sure about resources, but for a small instance, I think it’s pretty light. I’ve only just installed it on a i5-3470 cpu server, and it seems to play fine.

I’ve only played for like 5 minutes as I’ve not had time to play and monitor how heavy it is.

That’s awesome! I was wondering how I would do raids.

I think mangos is for classic and the burning crusade.

Azerithcore is for wotlk

I think reverse engineered.

I need to look into mods. I didn’t even know that was a thing.

I have no idea what a gm can do, I made a gm account though.

I wonder if there are moss that will let me do raids solo.

Thanks, I’ve always solo played and didn’t get too deep into the game, so when I play with others I feel like I’m holding them back or need everything explained.

Plus self hosting it lets be play on my up coming 14 hour flight.

I don’t remember halo 3 too well, but I remember getting a 360 for it and I remember playing it on my 30” 1080i crt.

I was in university at the time, so I was more focused on other things at that time. Halo 1 was it for me.

I worked at Apple when iPhone became available at Verizon (huge US telecom).

Apple was set up for this huge launch and expected crowds of people. The store was way overstaffed that day and pretty uneventful.

One guy came up and asked us where the Verizon store was 😂 when someone told them we could do all the account stuff in the Apple Store I think he still chose to go to Verizon.

Anyway, that’s just an example to highlight your point.

Neither don’t play them or ignore additional methods of monetization built into the game. It’s like they don’t exist.

If there is too much dlc, it makes me feel like the base game is an empty shell. Even if it’s not true, it turns me off from the game. Look at sims 4 and one of those city builder games.

I took a look to see what they had going on. I noticed that even with discounts, the products still seemed expensive.

Like, why is an ereader still like $80?

Tablets are way overpriced, especially when you compare an Android tablet to the latest iPad.

The price of everything needs to come down a lot.

I’ve been lucky with this particular flight before having the entire row, but it’s been years and I’m doing a different airline this time, so hopefully it plays out the same way.

Hoping my flight to visit the US this fall has empty seats.

(I’m a US citizen who has not been back to the states for over 5 years. Going to visit family and meet 2 of my sister’s children.)

P.S. it feels like I need this disclaimer to explain why I would go there.

Thanks for this list. I am interested to learn more about many of them.

I love Metroidvanias, I’ll check out fist tomorrow. Prey might be cool for a plane ride too.

I actually have that game and have never even finished the tutorial. Would you recommend I just go blind or do I need to watch some How to video to get started?

As a millennial to gen-z, they did the same bullshit to us, I guess it’s your turn now. Just ignore them.

I like most stuff, just hoping to find some hidden gems in the comments here.
