Secret World was a great modern horror MMO for a while there, and the investigation missions had some really complex puzzles that expected you do go online and do research into Egyptian dynasties and King James bible quotes and all kinds of other stuff. They dumbed down the amazing build system the game started with, but the core story skills still all be worth playing.

This is exactly what I do; my phone has enough space to hold all my music easily.

Good question; I'm afraid I didn't really keep track of those. I know I saw signs for vegan food several times, though.

I was just in Iceland for a week or so. Restaurants were a bit on the expensive side coming from the US, but not terrible. Cheap sandwiches abound there, though: at most gas stations or the supermarkets I could get a premade sandwich for $4 US or so. I largely did day tours as well, and all the ones I went on stopped at a couple of gas stations through the day for pit stops and food, and the sandwich selection was adequate. Personally,I wouldn't stress too much.

You only need to track the stuff with a GP cost; everything else your can use a focus for or assume it's in a component pouch of you don't use a focus. The GP cost items, yeah, I definitely track. Also the costs in time and ink (ie gold) for copying spells into your spellbook. My wizard of constantly broke, and the rest of the party have thousands of gold each.

Guild Wars 2; I'm at 6-7k hours or so. Been playing a lot less lately; I'm not sure if that's the recent content, or if it's me getting tired of it. I don't have a ton of objectives I'm interested in completing at this point; some "nice to have"s, but at this point any character or build I could possibly want to play, I have just about everything I need for. Mostly find myself logging in twice a week to do guild night with friends, and that's it.

Otherwise, GTA V, which surprises pretty much everyone I know except the friends I play with. It's just such an easy game to spend hoursblowing each other up or racing around or whatever in; really a fantastic game to play with friends.

Thanks, that was a phenomenal read; I feel like more people need to see it.

FYI formatting those quotes as code makes them really hard to read, at least for me--the lines don't break, so I have to scroll the text to the right to get it to be visible. You'd probably be better off with a blockquote,

which would look more like this. That's done with a > at the start of the line

Foundry really is amazing. The mod community for it is fantastic; you can find ones to do pretty much anything you'd want to do in game, and the UI is super slick. But the zero subscription part is what really sells it for me.

The Book of Wonder by Lord Dunsany is fantastic; it's a bunch of early fantasy stories by an Irish lord who was a huge influence on the fantasy genre.

What games are problematic on Linux these days? I've been Linux only for since Windows 7 server went EoL, and have had shockingly few problems, particularly in the last year or so. The few things that have been problematic with Proton work fine with GloriousEggroll.

Yeah, same thing happening for me. I hope it's not running up big bills for the maintainers with the API charges.
