Disappearing thin translucent scroll bars. It’s so inconvenient.

What a wonderful dystopian future where rape victims (of any gender, mind you!) get punished.
And no divorce either, because humans are very well known for doing well-calculated and all around perfect long-term decisions.
Look, I know why would you want to have something like this in place. But what you have written won’t work (and for several reasons, yes there are more that I just stated above), and more so - it will backfire massively.

Epic also gave money to Lutris, while Epic’s CEO was smearing Linux users on twitter, so I wouldn’t count on Epic’s stance on things and where some of Epic’s money going aligning any time soon. Those megagrants feel very disingenuous to me (doesn’t mean that those money do not help those “underdog” projects, though).

What fashion crime?
I would call it “highlighting your features” ;)
Great dog!

Teams is shit. I use it at work on Windows, and it’s still shit.
Searching something in the chat? Complete dogshit. Half the times it just straight up doesn’t work, the rest of the times it shows only the message where searched word is present and not the point in discussion when this message happened.
Keybinds. Non-customisable. Keybinds. Who in their right mind does that?! I once heard that keybind customisation would confuse “normies”, which is complete moot. So-called “normies” won’t go to the settings (or at least, to keybinds) anyway and will be either satisfied with defaults or won’t use them at all.
It also cannot restrict how many notifications it displays in the corner - so when things are getting spicier at work, it spams whole right side of your screen (gods help you if you were working on the laptop with small screen atm, cause getting shit done will be impossible). So your 2 options will be to mute everything or continue getting spammed. And then the whole point that it is even worse on Linux. And it’s web version is crap, too. And that it is a bloted, laggy mess that is more in my way when I work than helps me.
Rant over, I guess?

Is it, really? Зефир is quite different in taste and texture, imo, I would’t eat it if I would crave marshmallows and vice versa.

You’ve found a pretty interesting way to misspell “jackal” there

Yeah, I hope that it will be better than what they’ve showed us, too. Especially with the squad of people - the fight should scale with that.

Maybe they didn’t want to spoil rift bosses and mechanics of the specific fights? Because I’m puzzled why they didn’t - the preview wouldn’t have been that bland if they did.

Let me provide you with the second side of the same coin.

Would you be ok with fighting on Russia’s side? Do you think that after the war you should have the same standing as the ones, who were doing anything to avoid being conscripted?

Because, see, every war is at the very fucking best (read: not realistic) consists of one side that is righteous, and one that is not. Realistically, the chances of you being on the “right” side of it are excruciatingly small. But given conscription, you are denied of choice during that time, your feelings and believes on that matter are not considered at all - you are just a cog. And nobody gives a damn about cogs.

I wouldn’t want to change the time, really. As for the location - mostly anywhere in the current EU, preferably - Germany/Austria/Finland/Netherlands in no particular order?

Not the one you have been asking, but you can eigher install Lutris, and then install GW2 from there, or download it on Steam. Those are 2 fairly straightforward ways. If you have an ArenaNet account (rather than an account binded to Steam), but still want to use Steam as your launcher - just write “-provider Portal” in launch options.

As someone who is right now working from abroad by necessity - this idea is full of shit.

Yes, you won’t get a chance to properly enjoy your time away, you will always have time constrains (remember - you still need to work, and it’s still on top of your priority list), you will only get to enjoy the country like 2h a day (or whatever you had before as “me” time - that time didn’t change much) .

Assuming you are not going out far from your usual timezone - you will basically only enjoy it in the evenings, and if you are adventurous enough to move very far away from your original timezone - gl, because now you will have all the timezone mess upon you and possibly are working in the unusual hours.

In short: your work will suffer, you will suffer, you won’t get to enjoy your vacation and the country and on top of that - this will cost you more money than you usually pay! What a steal (literally).

Sorry - my reply won’t be really helpful to you, but I still want to say it because I think I have a bit different perspective on that problem and maybe that will be of use to someone.

I actually use that “forgot for half a year” approach to “curate” my wishlist. I usually aggresively wishlist a bunch of games during game events and so on, and then, about once a year I return to my wishlist and ask myself, if I still remember what were in those games that caught my eye, are they still interesting to me? If I do not, and looking at trailer and/or screenshots does not hype me up again, then it does not worth spending on (at least right now). Then I remove those that I decided to not play at all from the wishlist.

Still remember my first phone, Motorola C200 (I think?). This pebble of a phone was solid, you could probably get away with using it as a hammer a few times. Not as sturdy as that legendary Nokia, but still.

Russia

Sadly, considering where I lived (not US, and not EU), I strongly believe that nobody would give a damn about the report.

We had one of our lectors straight up tell us in front of full class (18 ppl: 16 guys and 2 gals), that we are going to use our diplomas as a hot pot stand. And we are here just for show, to hook up with smart guys. Yes, those were his exact words.

Nothing in me or the other girl suggested that we were attending lections to flirt with someone. Especially knowing that both of us were quite diligent students.

He also was very open and proud about him being sexist. It’s still baffling to me that people like that exist, succeed, and have a bloody confidence to take pride in their shittiness.

Ooh! Yeah, that’s a lot😂 Do not remeber how long it took me to get through PoF, but it took me and my bf around 3 evenings to get through EoD on launch. So it’s not too long (but of course, it depends on how much time you have to spare every single day).

Yeah, I think it will surely take copious amounts of T6 mats - that’s for sure.

Good call! I still can’t believe they seemingly “forgot” that leg runes existed. Two of my friends actually just finished their leg runes a month before expac announcement. They are very bitter right now (and rightfully so).
