Been with purely mail for about a year and it’s been great!

Private trackers. I think common ones. If you search them with “tracker” you’ll probably find them.

Lots of support already but I made it switch in December last year and no regrets. There’s a bit of a learning curve getting used to a new environment but the computer actually becomes a tool you can shape to your needs rather than changing how you work so your computer will do it.

Idk if I noticed that explicitly but I would believe it. The grenade throws early game are also disgusting. Pixel perfect hit your whole team lol

I’ve been immensely impressed with DOS2 AI. If an enemy is sleeping, another enemy will use part of its turn to hit the enemy to wake it up. There were several instances where I paused and just stared awestruck

Time to shill CrossCode again :)

I think the characters are phenomenally written and the plot is fun and has excellent ups and downs.

Good to know! I’ll add it to the ever growing list

Is the rest of the series good? I read the first one and thought it was pretty good but a reasonably well wrapped up story by the end

Book 4 is a bit slow but it picks up a lot after that.

That said don’t feel obligated to read something that Doesn’t interest you of course

I use semimak mainly but use qwerty often and I feel like there’s no problem with using both at all. This is just my experience though. When I first learned Dvorak and dropped qwerty I completely lost qwerty but it came back really easily later when I started using it more

The Kensington expert looks huge! I’m not sure I can justify getting one lol. Good to know this exists though if I decide to go down this route

How does using a trackball feel? Ive been thinking about maybe getting one but I mostly like my mouse.
Does it feel more ergonomic or is it mostly just less distance to the mouse?

I use win11 at work sadly so I’m stick with it there. I find the new context menu unusable so I prefer the old one

I’m using 7zip on win11. You need to get into the old context menu to see it tho. You can edit the registry to make the old one the default too.
No idea why it’s a registry edit but Microsoft will do what they will

I suppose not needing to grind for better gear would be nice. I think I want my next play through to be a repeat of the first and the grinding was part of the 💫 experience 💫
But I can’t relive that experience so maybe sergey hax is the way to go.

As to iconoclasts, Nothing gameplay wise is similar but the characters/dialogue seem reminiscent of what crosscode brings to the table, which to me was a big part of my enjoyment.

Sorry for the late reply. I think I watched a video with these. I think playing with sergey hax would overall detract from doing a second play through but the extra dialogues/expressions are spectacular.

I’m currently playing through iconoclasts which was recommended as having some similarities to crosscode and I see them. Been having a good time so far with it.
That said, it’s very difficult to compare with Lea

I’ve watched gameplay for SOTFS but I played vanilla and maybe both DLC I think.

Everything up to the lord vessel. Your goals and fast travel completely changes how you play the game and the new areas are less interesting imo

I would say a lot of the characters don’t suck in disco Elysium but I also didn’t have the best of times with that game. It was cool and I think the zanyness they peppered into the writing was fun to experience.

I had a really hard time getting into Hades. It’s very visually pleasing, the VA is great but the gameplay feels unimpressive. Seemed I only almost completed one run but it just wasn’t all that to me

I find dark souls 3 successfully condensed down the mechanics and gameplay of the souls games but delivered nothing in terms of exploration and world building.

The lore is DS2 is very good but the gameplay feels so horrendously unpolished and a lot of enemy placement feels really bad.

If I could play ds2 with ds3 gameplay it would potentially be able to rival the first half of DS1 for me
