My wife knew Russian quite well when we watchednthe series and was constantly ticked by the spoken "Russian" on the series.

Apparently it's enough to sound vaguely Slavic and it'sngood enough for TV lol

So you are saying Mastodon won't take off because people need to choose a server but also because having a "default" where majority will ptobably end up is bad - but this is literally the solution to the problem you mentioned

I live in one country that could be next. Putin already has useful idiots here daying thay we should leave NATO. Putin also tried to push for these countries thay used to be in the Russian sphere of influence not to be in NATO.

You make one step back and Putin makes two forward.

I feel like they mainly had to listen to the feedback they were getting. More feedback won't save you if you ignore it

I used to be in the same boat as OP, but since trying to degoogle I (obvioisly) stopped buying Premium and instead buy into Patreon of select creators. If there was some sort of degoogled Youtube Premium that would go towards support of people I watch, I'd much rather opt for that (obviously a very theoretical proposition) - I can support only so many via Patreon, even if all would have a 1$ tier.

Of course, when buying Premium part of my motivation was my comfort. It was comfortable support via Premium or uncomfortable support via ads. Patreon is fine but you can't feasibly pay for one for every creator who's video you watched

I suggest you to continue. It really is not as bad as we remember and in season 2 the Stargate spirit starts showing (especially in the second half). I was same as you and when I rewatched by the time it ended I was really sad it got cancelled.

 

I prefer podcasts with at least two people, infotmational but also with some fun banter in between. Couldn't find anything like that - not many active ones in general that I could find.

Podcasts that don't meet above criteria also welcome. Though would be best if it is active podcats that still gets new episodes

 

I didn't follow the game super closely but it looked nice. Shame we will never get to try it at least.

 

So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?

I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.

 

More details in a MOP article here

 

I thought I'd try GW2 after years of not playing (last I played was PoE era, bounced off fully before Icebrood saga) and finally managed to get into it!

I used to live and breath this game and while I was not what you'd call "hardcore" player, I knew about everything going on. Now I'm totally in the black which is weird. I try not to get it to me, I just play through the Icebrood saga story now and try my best not to open inventory and achievement tabs etc to not get discouraged. GW2 was always a bit convoluted, but with so much added in the meantime, it's much.

How do you deal with this? What would be your recommendations for me to "ease into it"? What should I engage after getting my groove back in the story? How to dip my toes slowly into buildcrafting? What new systems should I check out?

Bonus question: would you expect the xpacs to go on sale anytime soon? Next one should be around the corner by now, no?

 

I know many people were waiying for this so thought I'd share.

I don't play Albion much, fresh start might be interesting but not keen on regrinding stuff... How about you?

 

I'd br interested in what you'd consider a good book (or other sources) on various pagan beliefs and traditions that you would recommend.

I'm personally interested in European pagan traditions - be it Norse, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic (bonus points for Slavic!) - but would love to leave the topic open to others as well, just to make it interesting for people with different intrests.

 

So I mostly transitioned to Piped and ever since I was wondering how it works. I read up on it and while I get what it says, I still don't feel like I really understand...
