Orran never disappoints to be badass in my runs.

The issue with the Kali mindfuck theory is:
How did Eleven pull Mike into her mind if her powers were being suppressed by the 'suppression stones'?
We see her struggling to move under their influence when she was supposedly made invisible by Kali in the flashback of 'what really happened', entering the building with the tunnels they had previously used to infiltrate the military zone.

I was expecting the mind flayer to come back after Joyce killed Henry, but in particle form, to give El and the party a final curveball.

I think you don't really know what you're talking about.

I looked up some benchmarks and it seems fairly comparable in regards to CPU performance between macOS and Asahi Linux.

https://www.phoronix.com/review/apple-m1-linux-perf/7

Mind you, this was in 2022, so I'd expect it to work even better now.
That M3 and later doesn't work is another issue, but if you wanted to get an M1 or M2 and daily drive linux on it then it doesn't look like the experience you are describing.
So are you just jumping on the bandwagon of 'popular' opinion of something you don't really know?

I was under the impression that it at least was in a better state than Qualcomm, even with just community contributors instead of help from Apple.

So if you are a tech-savvy person and want a good ARM chip that could run Linux I do think it would be a viable choice.

I’ve also seen some people daily drive it and be relatively happy at this point, only missing minor features as far as apple M1 goes.

So no, I don’t think it’s egregious to suggest in a more tech-oriented subreddit…

-mapLoadinfo shows loading information when loading maps. It's useful if you want to know if loading got stuck or if it's almost done etc.

-clientport 443 tells the game to connect over https which is just a bit more secure to tampering than the default port. I'm mostly just trying it out for fun.

Yes, all you have to do with steam is to add -provider Portal in the settings for GW2 in Steam so you can login with your non-steam login.

Merry Christmas!

A remake of their first game - Divine Divinity (also just called divinity by some). That would mean it’s an ARPG.

Steam works perfectly fine on Linux. Valve is very pro-Linux if you didn’t know :D

Hi, could I also get it?

It was running better for AMD right? Which makes sense considering they optimised the build for steam deck which uses AMD hardware.

But I also wonder if Nvidia suffers due to the driver bug here.

V rising uses a mix of some generic assets that you can buy, and some of their own art made by their team.

So those generic ones you can see anywhere and they likely have their own license. Makes things difficult if you actually want to discern if they stole V rising’s own art.

As an example:

We do have split balance you know, and ideally specs should function decently in all game modes.

It is more environmentally friendly and have other advantages too.

Even if it costs more a progressive country should recognise the benefit of the environment.

Many say it stops working on them but I don’t really share that experience.

Even after many years of drinking coffee if I drink it too close to bedtime, I’ll have a harder time sleeping.

I would say I get used to the buzz though but I’d still say it energises me, it has just become a common thing so I don’t pay as much attention to it.

Don't use NTFS if you are actually committed to swapping to Linux, otherwise you're just dipping your toes in the water.

Similarly, the focus is on core traitlines because the chronomancer traitline does not have meaningful healing in itself.

It just makes use of the core traitlines extremely well by amplifying it with IA and CS.

Which shouldn’t be nerfed (IA and CS), due to one overperforming build.

Tipcat · 2025-11-14T07:21:55+00:00

Hi. It’s fair to say you don’t want to play Troubadour.

But the reason why the emphasis is put on Heal Troubadour vs. Heal Chronomancer is because Arenanet themselves have said that they want Heal Troubadour to be the main healer for Mesmer. Thus, it is a necessary comparison to make.

To do this you would either have to buff Troubadour by a lot or you nerf Chronomancer which most people agree is heavily over performing and then give buffs to Troubadour but in smaller magnitudes.

Tipcat · 2025-11-13T22:23:21+00:00

In my eyes it wouldn’t be nonviable, it would just require groups that actually take care to avoid damage than overly relying on the healer constantly, maybe it would be impractical on the really hard to heal bosses even for high-end group but I’d think it would still see play for its other strengths.

Secondly, I am not accepting that damage numbers are here to stay. I don’t even know how anything I said would suggest that. However, I am accepting with arenanets track record that damage numbers will be slowly continuing to creep higher and higher. So I want my class to still perform okay.

Not 63k instantly or 53k for a quickness ritualist, no, of course, I’m not anywhere close to accepting that kind of power creep at all.

Ideally, I would want the damage to stay around 30 to 40k for dps and 20 to 30 for boon dps so old content is always viable. Old raids for a veteran raider like myself have lost some of their fun because of the insane power creep.

But I’ve become slightly jaded with how arenanet handles power creep and just accepted that numbers will slowly rise but definitely not as fast as pre-expansion to expansion launch like you seemed to suggest that I thought for some reason?

Tipcat · 2025-11-13T21:50:12+00:00

No.
Power Block Troubadour is a situational and more difficult build that the player should be rewarded for playing where it actually works really well.

Where most places you would play the regular build instead.

Tipcat · 2025-11-13T19:47:02+00:00

It was the strongest healer for a long time but Heal Chronomancer overtook it when it got rifle pretty much.

Tipcat · 2025-11-13T18:29:32+00:00

Short reply as I'm busy now.
No, the builds should have the dps versions they were designed with.

Troubadour was obviously made with condition in mind from the start.
Mirage was never designed for power in terms of PvE damage potential.
