Shhh… perhaps I was unable to outrun a train obsession, but in my defense trains can be very fast!

I greet you, child of Gimli and Legolas.

Things that are simple are often not simple to use. Things that are simple to use are often complex. Although, hammers also exist so it's not exactly an universal rule...

I'm just having fun chatting with people.

I started gw2 about 8 months ago and fell in love with it almost instantly. The art style is amazing, and makes almost any view look like a painting of sorts. But what really sold me the game was exploration.

I was mining my first ores in a cave in Caledon Forest and saw something weird in the corner. I climb up and find an opening, through which I enter a huge cavern filled with lava, golems, floating holographic platforms and all that. (first time seeing Asuran tech/buildings) I just stood in awe for a minute before doing the jumping puzzle. The area wasn't on map and it was glorious. The fact that the game manages to give me this feeling of discovery in every zone over and over again is astonishing (and somewhat addictive).

I do have to admit that the core game's story was underwhelming. But by the end of Living World Season 2 I was hooked already. Oh, and I couldn't play the game without action cam (activated in the settings).

I must say, 'green meat' doesn't sound particularly appetizing.

That Fediverse pentagram logo makes a lot more sense now!

How are you still alive? I have to remove batteries from clocks around the house during a migraine because even the ticking noise is too much...

I went from Mint to Ubuntu to Manjaro to Arch. I just couldn't get my games working on Manjaro without something breaking. It did look nice though.

Oh how the times change... soon people will be sent to Siberia as a reward!

One would have to be insane to be sane in this world.

I find the typing indicator useful in chats that are happening in real time as it helps to pace the conversation. Read receipts I don't really like, sent and delivered are all I need.

I didn't even use Reddit all that much, but here I've spent way too much time already. Just seeing all these communities forming and people trying to find their place is fascinating. Not really something I see every day!

Just like peeing your pants! Ahh, got to love positivity.

Agreed. While I love apps supporting my native language, I hate seeing half-translated things. So I usually use English until localization is complete. Additionally figuring out how things work can often be easier in English first (matching terms in troubleshooting and guides).
