Currently re-playing Assassin’s Creed 1 and playing Vanilla WoW for the first time on a private server.

Im remembering how much I liked AC1. I know many people say it wasnt that great of a game, but to me its exactly what an Assassin’s Creed game should be - stalk, plan, stealth, assassinate, escape.

WoW is also really fun. I tried getting into retail a few times over the years but there was just too much. It was way too overwhelming. Vanilla seems to be just right for a new player.

I dont remember the name of it, but you flew around in a blue spaceshit type thing. I think the story involved you being in some futuristic scifi navy/army. One word I can remember being said a lot (i think your wingman or something said it sometimes when you got a kill) is “Casbah”.

Its not a lot but I was very very young, and played it on my uncle’s PC over a summer while I was visiting my relatives abroad. If anyone has even remotely any idea what Im blabbering about please tell me 😂. Ive been occasionally thinking about it for years.

Holy crap thats it! Installing now through lutris. You people are awesome

Edit: its asking for an iso so i guess ill need to get it on steam

Start smoking too so it doesnt bother you /j

But actually, if it got in any soft materials like couches they will still hold a smell. Not sure if it can happen even if its just from his clothes after hes already smoked. Other than that, ozone as others have suggested.

Can someone fill me in?

promitheas, 5 months ago

Came here to comment that maybe this feature should be left alone, but you beat me to it OP xD

promitheas, 5 months ago

I’m a bit tired.

Same xD

Do you mean getting it from their website directly? Wouldnt that need me to go through setup? Sorry, im new to wine and especially lutris

promitheas, 5 months ago

Tried that but I am now getting the following output:

<span style="color:#323232;">lutris-wrapper: /home/mart/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-24-x86_64/bin/wine

I looked the error code up a bit, and someone suggested in an old post to run the following which I did:

</span>

Please do, and let me know if it works with bottles.

promitheas, 5 months ago

This seems promising, but if I may ask how would I do something like this for a private server client (1.12.1)? Also I managed to get battle.net installed through bottles. The only caveat is that I needed to change its runner to caffe latest version.

promitheas, 5 months ago

Yea, it ended up not working for wow private, but it should work for retail/cpassic because battle.net worked almost out of the box with bottles. I only needed to change its runner to caffe. After that I could install my other battle.net games (diablo3 and hearthstone) just fine, so I assume wow would work too.

promitheas, 5 months ago

Heres what I did:

• Download the client for the server you want to play on. I wanted vanilla wow so I needed the 1.12.1 client. A quick google search will give you several results you can download
• Unzip the client in the directory you want it to be “installed” in
• Go through steam and add the wow.exe in the folder you unzipped as a non-steam game, and force compatibility to the latest proton version available.
• In the folder where your wow.exe is there should be a realmlist.wtf file. Open it, delete its contents and replace it with the link your server gives you. For example I registered on everlook.org so my link points to that.

It should run now. Check OP, i edited with a link to a video of a guy setting it up on his steamdeck. Its what I followed.

Greek is nothing like Latin.

Greek is my first language and Ive (tried to) read Latin, unsuccessfully, meaning no words maake sense to me when I view them from the perspective of “this word could have this greek word as a root”

Edit: This should hopefully put a rest to this discussion

promitheas, 6 months ago

Yes, but you can for the most part understand ancient greek if you know greek. Ancient greek and greek are similar enough for that. Greek and latin are not.

promitheas, 6 months ago

No they are not. They are both Indo-European but each is from a completely different branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin stems from the Romance branch, while Greek from the Hellenic branch. Other than their common “ancestor” language group, the only other similarity I can think of/find right now is that Latin did borrow many Greek words due to the Roman’s heavy influence from Hellenic culture. However, this doesn’t mean that they are at all related.

Greek itself has myriads of Turkish words due to the Ottoman occupation of the Greek lands (Greece as a nation state did not exist yet at this point if I’m not mistaken) from 1453 until 1821(almost 400 years), however it would be ridiculous to make the claim that Greek and Turkish are related, given that Turkish is an Anatolian language which only shares commonality with Greek due to the fact that they are both Indo-European branch families. Hence, it is ridiculous to make the claim that Latin is related to Greek simply because they borrowed many words.

So, linguistically speaking both Greek and Latin are from majorly different language families, and we have discussed how you can’t make the claim two languages are related simply because they borrow words from each other because of various political/historical reasons.

You are confidently incorrect.

Read my other comments for a more detailed explanation, but the tl;dr of the matter is that while they are both Indo-European languages, each is from a vastly different branch family of the Indo-European language family. The Hellenic and Romance branch families for Greek and Latin respectively.

Technically they are related, but technically if you go far back enough I am related to you too, however any sensible person would never make the claim that you and I are related simply because we share a common ancestor somewhere along our history.

Edit: my other comments also have sources, but I don’t want to repeat myself once more, so I wont put them here as well. :)

promitheas, 6 months ago

You and I are not related because we share a common ancestor, and no sensible person would make that claim based on that reasoning. We do draw the line somewhere. If you want to define all languages as related because they all comprise of sound and noise that humans make feel free to.

Also, if you bothered reading not skimming then jumping to conclusions, you would see I linked a couple sources, so you don’t actually have to hear it from my mouth.

promitheas, 6 months ago

I wasn’t attacking you with my comment, but anyway. I do agree there is a relationship and they influenced each other a lot (mostly Greek influencing Latin, not so much in reverse). I was just trying to say that not even linguists claim they are related. I didn’t once make the claim that they have nothing to do with each other either.

promitheas, 6 months ago

We literally are related

Cool, what time should I show up for Christmas dinner in December then? There’d better be lot’s of food xD

If you don’t find the fact that we are all technically related irrelevant, you should have no issue with my previous statement :)

Also, please don’t tell me to move along like you’re special, I’ll move along whenever I feel like it. You don’t like it then stop engaging

promitheas, 6 months ago

I just think it’s fascinating to learn about those relationships and think about the things we can’t know

On that we agree :) If you like language/linguistic content in general, check out this guy. He makes content about old norse and such, its really interesting
