I've been explaining it as countries/international travel. Lemmy is a country, Mastodon is a country, you can travel freely between them but you need a passport. Each service has it's own government whose rules you have to abide. Lemmy instances are like states (or provinces or what have you), where you can just... freely travel between them. Each instance has it's own local government whose rules you have to abide. Communities are like cities/towns, with their own small local government whose rules you have to abide... etc, etc.

You can have multiple emails with them, you simply can't be signed in to more than one at a time without their premium plan. Think like Google with it's account swither. Multiple accounts can be logged in and you can hot-swap between them without having to re-login every time. That's the premium feature for Proton mail.

What's the best way to catch up on the story of WoW? In-game, preferably. I finished up in Zandalar and now I'm in Nazjatar and... Who the hell is MOTHER? Why is there a big-ass sword jammed into Silithus? I feel like the 0-to-hero path thru Zandalar skipped... A lot of steps. So what's the best way for me to play catch-up?

EDIT: For reference, before this year the last time I seriously played WoW was WotLK.

 

When you first crack open a new sudoku puzzle, do you look at the rows or columns first? Or do you work in blocks? What's your strategy?

Finding a good photo editing software has been the biggest hurdle for me in using Linux daily. I used to run a dual-boot with Win10 and Linux, but it's been a few years since then and I still haven't found anything I really like using as much as I do CaptureOne. 🥲

100% OpenSUSE Tumbleweed now, and I won't be going back... Just a shame major software companies don't give Linux much love.

Patch 10.1.5 (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by aRatherDapperFox@lemmy.ml to c/wow@lemmy.ml
 

What does everyone think about the changes to Allied Races and Riding Skills? I for one am excited, at least for the Allied Races updates. I don't really mind one way or another for the Riding Skills. It'll be nice not to have to dump a load of gold into skills and basic mounts for each new character, but the game hands gold out hand over fist in the early levels.

I was looking at the requirements for unlocking the Zandalari Trolls earlier tonight, and WOW. 😱 That's a big time sink! I imagine it'll feel like treason for those who went through all the steps to unlock the allied races prior to the patch... But it'll be nice not to have to drag myself through all those steps. 😅

What's the community's thoughts on these changes?

10.1.5 isn't out yet, and there's no official date as far as I know. Just nebulously "this summer." There are more changes, including Warlock coming to a bunch of new races. Full patch notes here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/dragonflight-fractures-in-time-ptr-development-notes/1587226

 

I don't know how I never stumbled upon Lemmy before, I've been looking for a worthwhile alternative to Reddit for over a year now. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough!

 

Bwonsamdi is one of my favorite parts of Zandalar. I wish there was a cosmetic option to replace the Val'kyr with Bwonsamdi... everywhere. Even if it was limited only to players who had completed the Zandalar story up to a point. I'd even give it a pass if it was limited only to Zandalari trolls, but that would be sad...

When I finally finish up in Zandalar, I will miss his quips.

LF Guild (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by aRatherDapperFox@lemmy.ml to c/wow@lemmy.ml
 

Hi, all! I want to get more actively involved in the community/social aspect of WoW. I don't have any irl friends who play, so that's kinda out the window... But I'm looking for a small-ish, casual guild to join for WoW Retail.

I typically play Horde on Hyjal, but with all the cross-server stuff and now cross-faction guilds, I guess that matters less and less.

Is anyone in here part of a guild like that? If not, would anyone in here be interested in a Lemmy-centric social/casual guild for WoW?

 

I got Dragonflight! I can finally level my Shaman up to 70. 😭 I've been leveling an alt while I waited to pick up DF. My alt is... Another shaman. Alliance, this time. 😂

What's everyone running as their main, currently?

It'll be loads easier. The Lutris installer is set up to automatically handle an error that Battle.net throws when you try to launch it, some BS about the way they package their QT platform. It's just a terminal command away from being fixed, but future updates run a real risk of breaking it again. It happened to me, and I spent ~30 minutes trying to get it to work again before I gave up and just... Reinstalled the damned thing with Lutris, and it worked like a charm.

Speaking of Diablo, I got a notification while I was typing this message... 😂

Lutris is great especially if you have games that need a little tweaking that aren't a part of Steam, GoG, or Epic. If all your games are on one of those three, I'd stick with Steam/Heroic personally.

Lutris is the easiest way to get WoW up and running on Linux, for example. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have Lutris on my PC.
