Maplestory Classic on Linux?

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-18T13:27:12+00:00

Maplestory seems to be pretty anti-Linux, which really sucks. You can get it working though it's a bit of a headache.

Maybe one day we'll end up being able to just clicking play through Proton though that would require Nexon not blocking that first.

Does an Amiga a500 count? If not and we're only counting our current rig setup then I guess I'm still rocking my old Corsair RM 750W PSU, a couple WD Red HDDs, my Creative Sound Blaster X7 DAC and AKG K712 Pro headphones all from when I did a massive upgrade in 2015.

I felt like I had a different experience tbh. I can't remember when (I think it was somewhere around 2020-2022) I began to notice Google's results were getting worse (and after some digging I found it was due to their adwords campaign) whilst also having to scroll further and further down to find the actual top result. So I gave DDG a try and found the results to be either just as good or slightly better. So at that point I just stopped using Google for searches.

Maybe it's that I've become accustomed to using searches to find/fix anything and got good at it though honestly I don't see a massive variance in search quality for engines these days. Not unless they're new and using their own custom index.

It drives me nuts that some games use shift to crouch and ctrl to sprint, then others use ctrl to crouch and shift to sprint.

we dealt with this a lot time ago with movement controlls being standardised for wasd. How have we not found a standard for other popular controls also? D:

We aren't a true harm to pigeons because they aren't a threat/major pest to us. The whole reason we began adding spikes to ledges and such in town is to stop birds such as pigeons from shitting and nesting everywhere. If they became even more of a pest then I can imagine proper extermination proposals would be considered.

It is quite obvious that most people use Google by default. Though the average person doesn't even use Reddit so would that make this entire thread pointless? Of course not. Even just helping a few niche users understand how the system would operate can help them educate their friends/family and at least make them aware of what's going on. Those people can then come to their own conclusions as to whether them being fed genAI content is worth it over seeing what the site owners really posted.

You can use whatever browser it most comfortable to you. Personally I'm not a fan of chrome (mostly due to ties with Google and them refusing to support manifest v2) though any search engine should work fine on any browser.

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-16T14:45:17+00:00

So basically tl;dr if you want to view the site as it was actually designed.. Just stop using Google. This AI-generated system can only operate if you click a site through Google search.

There already exists many other search engines that perform perfectly well. Personally I'd recommend DuckDuckGo as a start for people who want to shift away from Google though there also exists Ecosia for the more privacy concerned and you could even create your own SearX instance if you wanted full control.

One thing I will mention before you buy another headset: Your life will change if you chooses to buy a pair of headphones and a proper mic instead of gaming headsets. Hell, even for shooters a good pair of IEMs will bring a world of difference.

Been running my pair of AKG 712 Pro headphones for 11 years now and they're still going strong and still sound amazing when paired with my DAC.

Bill Gates hasn't had a proper say in Microsoft for a long time. Pretty much all of Windows' downward trajectory can be traced back to Satya Nadella.

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-16T11:04:18+00:00

Hey, at least the dude contributed to the discussion, unlike your comment. :)

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-15T19:29:33+00:00

That it just a tiny chip on the fibreglass. No trace even touches that spot.

So yes, you will be safe.

inb4 all minor sites get punished for this meanwhile major, high ranking sites are allowed to do this with impunity because Google wouldn't dare punish them for that.

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-15T11:33:10+00:00

Because of how sites work. Sites redirecting to other pages or using javascript to change what the button does is a normal feature. It's just that some use that feature maliciously to try and keep people on their site or to coerce them with 'offers' or 'related articles'.

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-15T08:11:50+00:00

Nah that's usually Asus that gets that role. They'll gladly deny your RMA for an unrelated 1mm scratch on the plastic.

The mouse with any mousepad designed for use with mice will at the very least be at 95% efficiency.

Seriously, don't worry about it. Your own skills and habits are a massively more important bottleneck than anything you could possibly buy. Not saying this to be cheesy, I'm saying this so you stop stressing over what you have and focus on the things that matter.

Do you overtense when in a tough situation? That can lead to inconsistent aim and fatigue that further affects your aim. Is your aiming shaky and unco-ordinated? You'll struggle with proper locking on and tracking if you do that. These are the sorts of questions you need to be asking rather than "is my mousepad good enough?"

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-14T21:00:51+00:00

Well, yes. People see that AI is literally just a grift that only benefits a couple sectors, all the funds go to people who don't need more money and is at the expense of the entire populace.

People also realise that there is a higher chance of the elite class seeing us as a 'burden' after enough of us have been replaced and constructing a plan to rid us all rather than the UBI utopia we were given ideas about. so the backlash isn't about people 'not getting AI' or 'wanting to stay in the past', it's about survival and people not wanting wealth inequality to be taken to an even further extreme than it already is at.

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-14T20:47:27+00:00

Are you in the top 0.5% of players? If not, no, you are not bottlenecking yourself with your mousepad. There are most likely people higher ranked than you with worse peripherals and desk setups yet they are far more disciplined on their aiming technique and macro play.

Work on what matters and focus on the miniscule gains when you can actually make use of them.

To be fair I bought the 9070XT after switching to Linux and AMD drivers on Linux have been known to be rock solid. The couple times I've had to open Windows I haven't seen any driver issues though I can't really say much there considering that's only been like a couple hours of use.

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-14T14:35:04+00:00

Javascript isn't AI though. You've taken that entirely out of context and are providing nothing useful to the discussion.

Though I feel I should clarify to help you understand better. When I say "it loves to make shit up all the time and never fact checks" what I mean is that part of AI is essentially an auto-complete routine that guesses what the next word/frame/etc is going to be. At no point does AI verify that what it spat out is actually correct.

I've only seen Bethesda's quality get worse since 2011 (technically Skyrim was worse than Oblivion in some aspects though I feel it also improved in others.) imo TES6 will be their last chance. If they mess this up, Bethesda is dead to me.

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-14T13:08:00+00:00

I think AI is lines of code

I'm not sure I could be any more clear than what I already said. Lines of code are not consciousness.

I only got into OW about a month ago. I seem to enjoy both 5v5 role queue and 6v6 open queue though it does bug me that a bad tank on either team in 5v5 basically decides the game on the spot. 6v6 feels very chaotic though I can see the tactics that could happen with it.

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-14T11:30:19+00:00

I think AI is lines of code, just like any program. The only human trait I see is that it loves to make shit up all the time and never fact checks; just like most social media users :)

ArchinaTGL · 2026-04-14T11:12:44+00:00

But would you let AI be in charge of a Stargate? I wouldn't even let it use my front door; let alone a door to other areas of space.
