There’s a Warcraft mobile game?

Nevermind, I don’t care.

I have a Logitech mouse. I just used a 3rd party app to remap.

Better mouse for Mac, but looks like you’re on Linux? There’s bound to be something

So last week my boss gave me 4 older laptops and I was looking for games that would work on Thinkpad T420s with Mint.

I got Myth II running on those 4 Linux machines and 2 Macs. I have 3 friends to LAN party it with.

Check out Project Magma.

They’ve been doing the work for decades now to keep the game alive. You need a “disc” to install (available on myabandonware.com), but they have installers that do all the heavy lifting of getting it to work on modern machines.

Then the two must-have plug-ins are Twice Born Edition, which gives you upscaled graphics and The Fallen Lords: Deluxe Edition, which gives you the Myth:TFL campaign in Myth II: Soulblighter. I also installed about 80 co-op/solo scenario plug-ins to play too, but you don’t have to unless you want to. Siege of Belial and The Long Journey series look pretty fun but haven’t tried them yet.

I fucking loved Myth as a kid and I am absolutely stoked that I can play it again.

Ohh, so this is why those people are always shouting about globalism being bad.

I just installed Mint and some games on 5 Thinkpad T420s my boss was going to throw out. Sunday’s LAN party was pretty fun.

Is this my future?

Or it’s the cool block where the cool people hang out and you can be cool by hanging out there too

He’s shut up for a while now. Sure people may have cooled down but they still think he’s massive fuckwad and buying his cars is a bad idea.

I dunno. It’s plugged in directly to the modem/router provided by my ISP while my wifi is provided by a separate mesh setup, which is also plugged in to the modem/router 🤷‍♂️

Yea same I don’t even care.

It’s an old laptop, I have a backup. Go ahead, fuck it up.

You could argue that games have gotten worse

You can also pop your popcorn in plain undyed paper bags. Toss them in oil, put em in the bag, microwave.

The Zola algorithm is real

I don’t know, but good work!

Oh weird. I had an issue where I couldn’t play Dawn of War II with my brother on windows from my Mac. I solved it by using windows through boot camp, but that’s so lame.

I wonder if it’s the same issue.

I was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.

Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.

I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]

Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.

So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)

So many people angry about phones in here. Just let people like what they like. Yeesh.

I agree. Fuck the police, but Ice is full of shit too.

You’ve got 7 cars but your license is 3 years out of date? Dude, you’re a millionaire just go pay that shit or send someone to do it for you.

I set a timer on your phone to match(ish) the timer on the air fryer

You can also make your own microwave popcorn without the PFAs for a lot cheaper. Just toss some popcorn seeds in oil, put em in a plain paper bag and microwave.

We have bins around our city for people to drop electronics off for recycling. I’ve taken a few laptops from there. You’re not supposed to, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

One I gave to my buddy who needed something just for emails and web browsing and whatnot, one is running a server, and a couple more went back in to the bin because they were actually broken, but I took the hard drives for the server machine. I have one on a self ready in case the server machine dies so I haven’t gone looking for any new ones in a while.
