There’s a raid/convergence and a legendary spear releasing in November. Another map in Q1, and at some point (TBA) a legendary back, another raid/convergence, and another map. So maybe something to start working on in a few months (spear) and sometime another project (back), though that TBA seems like it’s getting close to the next expac release.

I’ve tried a few of them and they seem a mixed bag. Mostly talking from a WvW perspective here.

Rev’s is stupid strong, like 53k on the dummy and going to get severely beaten by the nerf bat strong. The kit is a bit awkward though- the AoE of the 5 is really a bit too small to be usable in any situation where there’s lag, though, so blob fights are right out. It could be an OK replacement for M/A in a pure condi build, but I think you’ll still wind up mostly on SB anyway. For a cele build it will have trouble displacing either the range and area denial of SB or the mobility of GS.

Ranger’s is a really fun, slippery kit with a lot of snares, and all the stealth is very silly with Relic of the Unseen Invasion (600 range AoE superspeed for 2s on stealth). Downside is that the damage just isn’t there for it to be a threat.

Warrior’s is solid, great upgrade from rifle for a ranged kit. Still some issues with lag and it’s all projectiles so it ain’t it for blobs, but I could see it seeing some use in a roaming kit. Tough to give up the sustain of staff or the mobility of GS, though.

Necro is really just sword with a different coat of paint and more to manage. I like the idea of it as a ganking / engage-and-burst option, but I’ve had the 2 dodged enough times now to be grouchy about having that much of the damage bound up in a single ability. I could see it being useful to land the 4, precast either the 5 or CttB, then port on and swap to shroud to finish the burst.

Portland or Seattle would for those criteria well as long as you don’t mind rain. Both very progressive cities, weather is generally mild (rarely above 85, rarely below 30, usually less than 2 weeks a year with snow).

Best part here is that it’s a nonsense statement. Generated electricity is measured in watt hours (be they kilowatt, megawatt, or gigawatt).

Don’t bet on it- I’ve been playing since release (11.5yrs) and can’t claim that. ;)

Most of us on the left here would like nothing better than to be rid of most red states. On the whole, they take more federal tax dollars to prop up than they contribute, and their backwards ass attitudes hold the rest of the country back.

HOWEVER…

1. Most progressive voters would rather not abandon all of the disempowered minority groups in those states to their fate.

2. A “national divorce” as described by the space lasers lady would be incredibly messy and potentially devolve into a war and further violent and messy balkanization of the country.

3. Finally, having an impoverished, highly inequitable theocracy for a neighbor sounds like a massive headache.

Living downtown typically means a lot more walking, biking, and public transit, precisely because you’re there in the middle of everything. When you’ve got everything from grocery stores, pubs, cafes, parks, cultural attractions, etc all within walking distance, your need to drive anywhere becomes occasional at most.

Remote work forever, and repurpose the useless office buildings into conveniently located downtown living space to help ease housing shortages and drive urban density.

WHY is Gamora?

Anecdote, I know, but for my use cases, Wayland just isn’t there yet- I wind up with far more random bugs and less battery life. I don’t pretend to know why, I’m a pleb non-developer, but until that’s resolved I’m still stuck on X. I’d love to use the new shiny thing of The Future™, but not at the cost of stability and usability.

I had Dakka Squadron on my wish list, so I got that. My wallet remains undamaged.

Most of it sounds fine, but doubling down on the indefensible behavior of the PPB without without a complete shake up is a hard pass for me.

Edit: Also, expecting a revitalized downtown core when many of the people that funded it are still working remote is not realistic. I know Teargas Ted wants to push everyone back into their cubicles, but I’d really rather see more ambitious plans for pivoting to mixed use spaces to simultaneously bring population into the core and take the pressure off the housing crisis instead of trying to mandate a return to a nonsensical prior normal that most people don’t want.

I did this way back in the day on my Mandrake installation with a 1.44" floppy. Only tricky part was that I had to run cp from the floppy instead of from normal $PATH as I’d wiped out /bin.

Looks to me like a smirk on a Kirk on a jerk.

Windows doesn’t let me have a desktop cube or have my windows burn up or be torn apart by claws when closed.

Sure, I also like the GNOME workflow and the open source ethics and repositories and the like, but my inner 12 year old likes the eye candy, too.

Yeah, same experience on Wayland + GNOME for me. I want it to work, but stuff just breaks too often for me to accept at this point. How much of that is Wayland and how much of it is other things failing to work properly with it is kind of immaterial. Regardless, I’ll happily jump ship when it’s more baked, but now isn’t that time.

The important bit not mentioned here is that FW machines are both user serviceable and user upgradable. No need to eat the cost or create the waste of replacing a perfectly good chassis and display, and then sell off the replaced mainboard on the market.

I had a positively epic one with a bourbon caramel at Pine State. Absolutely worth a shot.

As someone with an SP8 running Garuda, I would really recommend going with an Android tablet l with a keyboard ike a Lenovo P11 rather than a Linux device for your use case. The truth is that x86 devices just aren’t that great when it comes to power management, Linux is hit and miss when it comes to suspend functionality, and the stylus / handwriting implementation is typically pretty poor. You can make it work, but you’ll be compromising a lot of functionally.

Hell, I miss LiveJournal more than I miss reddit. /old
