That's what Bonfire Ascetics are for, no need to beat the whole game over and over when you can just boost individual areas to whatever NG+ level you want!

Best Souls 2!

I see you have exquisite taste!

I can vouch for Fedora, I used plenty of distros from Arch to Ubuntu (and many of it's forks) and even weird outliers like Solus and Fedora is the most boring distro out of all of them, and I mean that in the best way. To quote a certain Todd: "It just works!" Do note you will probably want to enable RPM fusion (basically mandatory if you use nVidia) to get access to useful non open source and license encumbered packages Fedora can't ship by default (like media codecs). Other than that, install Steam and whatever other launchers you want and enjoy a boring, reliable distro.

Roll your tongue into a tube and suck the drink through it, obviously!

That addendum is there purely so Bethesda doesn't sue their asses to oblivion (heh). I am certain it will be very possible to play the mod on a pirated copy but it's not like they can just write that on their website.

According to their website:

In order to play Skyblivion you will need to own a legitimate copy of Oblivion GOTY Deluxe (ALL DLC) and Skyrim: Special Edition. Our installer will not install the mod unless it can find a non-cracked copy of the original games.

and

Skyblivion will work the same as most other complete overhaul mods. Simply install the mod via the installer and press play.

So you'll probably need a pure unmodded version of Skyrim for it to install onto, but we won't know for sure until the actual release date.

That's just miniature spears with a fancy propelling mechanism! More proof long stick with pointy end is the superior weapon!

I started playing GW2 at the end of 2023 an been having a blast with it! I played WoW for a decade until the combo of Shadowlands and the Acti-Blizz allegations soured me on that company forever. I tried FFXIV with everyone going over to that game and the story was good but the button bloat pushed me away from really getting into it. I then had that MMO itch at the end of 2023 again and decided to try GW2 and it's been great. Fun story, good gameplay and most importantly no subscription. It's so nice to be able to play with breaks and come back whenever you want to with no need to open up your wallet every time, just buy the expansions and Living Worlds once and you are done!

My school never held any big events like this one either (except for the recruitment open days, but those were entirely voluntary and mostly relegated to clubs) but I'm with Bocchi on this, those evens are hell for introverted socially anxious people, so I'm kinda glad we didn't. We did have a multiple days long class trip once and surviving that was a trial already!

Nice comfy low-stakes slice of life isekai. Nothing mind-blowing here, but a good enjoyable watch to relax to after a work day. Enjoyed season 1, looking forward to this one!

This survey made me realize how little anime I actually watched this year. I can't even fill in all the categories! The few shows I did watch were really damn good. At least it makes it easy to pick my favorites!

I watched LemonLeaf/Fauna before she joined Hololive and will continue to do so now that she's out again. While I'm sad for her as she genuinely seemed to enjoy her time there and was sad to leave, I'm also excited to see what she will cook up without the corporate oversight hanging over her head at all times.
