#GuildWars2 multiboxing hurts legitimate players. This needs to stop.

I ran Dragon's End today. Kicked these people when they joined, before we got a map to play on. They were not able to join our instance via squad.

Within about two minutes, a map queue formed. These people running 5-6 accounts EACH maxed out the map's player limit of 60, and made it so legitimate players could not join and have fun. They waited in queue for an HOUR.

Seven people could not join our fresh map and have fun.

I am very bad at #Linux. Installing, setting up my audio mixer, troubleshooting sound, and getting Guild Wars 2 up and running took about five hours. Still have a lot to learn but I'm extremely happy with the result so far.

Went with #Fedora #Nobara at the recommendation of a friend. It was fairly painless :D

My latest step in moving as much of my tech to #OpenSource software as possible was switching from Paprika Recipe Manager to Broccoli on #fdroid. I tried to import the recipes from Paprika's HTML export that I hosted on Github Pages, but it didn't work. Spent 2 hours manually importing about 100 recipes I've collected over the years.

Spent today replacing Linux Mint with Pop OS. Graphics drivers got really messed up at some point so I'm using that as an excuse to try something a little different. Feels nice so far!

Need a recommendation on a #peertube instance for gaming content. Anyone use something they really like?

Ritual threw me a bone and let me 6-link my chest in SSF! Hoping I get enough eldritch currency to slam some nice implicits on it soon. #PathOfExile

Death Jack Elegant Ringmail: a 6-linked chest with a massive fractured life roll, two elemental resists, and extra armor+energy shield. It even has a free suffix!

Flying out to Seattle for #PAXWest this weekend. I will also be attending the #GuildWars2 meetup on Friday :D

I have a commander pin with my account name on it. If you see me, come say hi!

Some announcements I made on Discord:

0. I am streaming again! You might've seen me active in your notifications. Moving is now done, and I can get back to cursing your notification feeds with my bullshit. YAY!

1. I've configured a bot to automatically post and ping everyone in my Discord server whenever I go live. http://discord.gg/NmCaNR4

I'm not sure how to make this work on Mastodon. If anyone has ideas, let me know!

I earned Fractal God last night. Took two years of hilariously infrequent play.

Feels incredibly weird to be at the end of the most insane grinds in #GuildWars2, but I'm very happy I can spend my relics on other stuff now!

Spent a bit of time prepping two characters for lab farm in a couple weeks. Modified the pistol/pistol deadeye build to go fast and cooked up a very zoomy scepter/dagger weaver.

Having two means I'll always have a farming character ready to go! #GuildWars2

Very exciting @system76 box showed up 👀👀👀

ENTRIES ARE CLOSED! I sent all the entries to the judges. Poll goes up next week.

Happy holidays! I'm running a #GuildWars2 contest with prizes! TLDR:

1. Draw some awful MSPaint Guild Wars-themed art. The worse, the better! (example image drawn by my friend and fellow judge veigar)
2. Email it to [removed]. Include your account name and a short text description of what you drew.
3. You might win mystic coins if our panel of judges like it enough!

Mageblood is cheap this league, so I set myself the goal of farming one. Bought it today for 105div! #PathOfExile

The most fun part of setting my build up around it was rolling my flasks. For now, I'm using Quartz Granite Silver & Quicksilver with suffixes granting armor, cast speed, life regen, and bleed/corrupted blood immunity. Some of it will definitely change as I continue to upgrade my build.

Haven't had an opportunity to play metas yet, timing didn't work out. I just reached the Wizard's Tower. Discovered that there's a new golden "I'm rich you know" title and immediately bought it. 12/10 better than heart of thorns xdd

I don't really like how rifts have the enemies all spread out. Would be nicer if they were clustered together like Jahai incursions. Very curious to see how they do with large groups! #GuildWars2

Welp. Interviewed for a job today and they lowballed their advertised rate by $4/hr. They said they'd try to find a role in my pay range but I seriously doubt they'd be able to find something. This is the first time I've found myself overqualified for a job; feels kinda weird!

I am so happy Anet made the longcat bug from last year canon, with an in-universe explanation! #GuildWars2

The new horse skin in #DiabloIV costs 1.85 Last Epochs.

Can we start calling them macrotransactions now? This is getting absurd. #gaming

#guildwars2 update was kinda mid. story ending was weird, didn't really understand any of the lore books scattered around the last instance.

convergence CM is extremely easy, not even worthy of being called a CM. dragon's end is still the king. (i do like the new direction of hard 50-man content though: MAKE IT HARDER! WE CAN HANDLE IT!)
