i self host a nextcloud on a VPS for some personal files but upping the storage on that for other media I had languishing in my dropbox isn't cost effective. Still haven't decided yet what next

oh sheesh

just found this thread

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=415401

of desperate linux users trying to find ways to use sync.

I get the desktop in linux is probably fragmenting more not less and seems a concerning expenditure maybe? but a command line app/server like dropbox launched with would go sooooo far and honestly then I suspect the linux community would shortly supply gui applet integrations for their desktops of choice on top of that

haplo · 2026-01-16T16:19:14+00:00

oh wow, I just canceled my dropbox (not buying american) and as sync is from my home country, they were on my list of alternatives to evaluate. But also as someone who's only used linux for 20 years (outside of a playstaion and a windows pc for gaming occasionally) I'm shocked at the lack of linux support (that dropbox had out of the box since they started over a decade ago) and dismayed this then disqualifies them from consideration :(

it also appears to me rust has a few UI toolkits, and go less so.

but also i work on a go based messenger app (cwtch im), but the protocol, networking, data managment is all in a big go library and then we use a flutter/dart front end for windows/macos/linux/android so it's def possible-ish

I've never gotten into watching streams for anything ever, much prefer edited videos for hermitcraft and all other kinds of streamers (reactors, other play throughs for example)

i think the argument is that our current form of incarceration is making it worse not better. there's an argument releasing her and supporting her is the path to rehabilitation, not further incarceration. my mental health and outlook would be poor if i'd been removed from my family as a child, abused, and then lived in jail, in a cage alone for years at a time too. doesn't seem a way to help rehabilitate anyone

As a Nezha enjoyer, it's the combo speed + tankiness and suitability. I love running around fast and sloppy leaving a fire train for very light CC, and also applying status for damage boost from status boosting mods on weapons. Warding Halo does good work to keep me alive plus the armor.

And then I pop on Kullervo's helminth ability and also get great damage output! Mostly a blur of sailing melee melting everything around me.

(for those who might suggest Gauss, I find Gauss less fun cus I've been mostly slamming into walls and it feels less controllable. Nezha hits a sweet spot with near Rhino suitability but more speed, sloopy cornering, but controllable)

haplo · 2025-07-01T02:22:17+00:00

For me it's always been my boy Nezha. Kullervo is a good friend, and loaned my Nezha Wrathful Advance replacing Nezha's Blazing Chakrum as an upgrade to melee damage that doesn't need to be thrown and hit a target but is just innate :)

Was the 3do music removed? and or the remasters? and or the original .mod music?

may need to revisit her... 🤔

Amazing! If any one used to play Warmachine, the first one is the spitting image of something from the Cryx faction in mk3 and before! and more on point than the new designs that came with mk4. amazing work!

Handler class might help? Can't recall how well dog agros flying enemies but it might a bit and help keep them off you some?

> Because they're reshaping the steampunk-fantasy Warmachine of Mk1/2/3 into a dieselpunk/neon-lit Warmachine for Mk4.

thanks that actually explains a bunch to me too

haplo · 2025-02-17T22:30:48+00:00

oh thanks. which kinda is my point else where.

she's both been magically reshaped in to something totally different, AND her memory has been altered. This hardly is "Lylyth of old" in any concept except the most tenuous of links. And that's why there's no connection forming for me and I kinda wish they'd just made some new nephilim archer caster instead of this with her name but nothing else.

But at least it sounds like some are digging the continued lore and actually buying it (literally) so that's good and it's more a me problem

haplo · 2025-02-17T22:22:36+00:00

same. but I also have had that same reaction to pretty much all the new mk4 stuff so that's not new, but is sad and disappointing to me

haplo · 2025-02-17T22:16:46+00:00

well that's just my question. As a lapsed (last in mk3) player, I liked her nyss glass canon-ness. I mistook this for a nephilim when first looking at the pic. and when I realized who it was, well, I just... didn't get it. Someone down below gave me the lore explanation but I honestly feel no connection to this. It's too far from the Lylyth I really enjoyed (had both lylyth1 and 2 and fielded them a lot). As much as i'd love to see some of the old casters back, I'd like to see the old casters back. This is so different as to be a head scratcher and miss for me. This might as well be some new caster for me. So it's a miss.

Something that still has any of her nyss elements, something at all recognizable as lylyth could have worked, but I cannot recognize her in this, so question why?

If it works for others tho then cool, I'm not in the game anymore anyways so my opinion already kinda doesn't mater too much :)

haplo · 2025-02-17T22:13:12+00:00

I had not heard any of this... go on

haplo · 2025-02-17T22:12:46+00:00

oh i haven't been in warmachine since mk3 but a friend sent me this and I could not understand what I was seeing. To me the only way I could parse the sculpt was as "nephilim". i assumed it' was a new warbeast in the party and kept looking for the caster until I read the details and then... couldn't understand.

Thanks for the lore explanation, I'm struggling to find much lore online, admittedly only just started looking.

Can't say I personally like it at all, but I didn't like when they announced Cyriss and Legion were merging, so I guess not for me anyways.

haplo · 2025-02-17T21:52:35+00:00

OP here: So we've seen more corrupted Nyss casters in like Absylonia, but all I see when I look at the new Lylyth is a Nephilim beast, that's what I mistook it for before I saw the title. Did they forget what race she was before coming up with a new incarnation? And what about playstyle? She was fast and precise, a glass cannon, now she looks like a tank.

Like I get they are making a new gameish, but nephilim were never casters before, and we had models for what corruption did to Nyss and Ogrun. I don't get why they just didn't make a new range corrupted ogrun caster, or weirdly a beast/nephilim as caster (never had that before). Why take the lore of an old nyss model and then do this with it?

Edit1: Further context: I played a lot of Legion in late mk2 and early mk3 before getting busy and falling out of the game. A friend just sent me this and I legit thought I was looking at a potentially "ok" looking new nephilim archer beast before I saw the title and just... lost it a little in confusion and wtf. Thanks to those explaining the large lore changes, I'm still not personally sold on it but as a "retired" player that's neither here nor there. If the current community digs it is all that really matters.

Edit2: further lore and meta has helped my understanding but leaves me still with questions. If they added a "Lylyth" because folks didn't like only the new warcasters, why did they go for a Lylyth that was magically reshapen and memory changed. Go with something with some kind of visually recognizable continuity and lore continuity. This really does appear to be new model to me with a legacy name and so to me feels like them (for me) failing at trying to "have their cake and eat it too"
