TL;DR - I’d say it’s definitely decent (much better than Shadowlands) but the grind is always going to be there in WoW, I recommend skipping it and playing many other games instead.

I’ve played WoW on and off since beta and played the first season of Dragonflight. Flying was awesome, grinding is still a thing and like @rhokwar@rhokwar@lemmy.world said if you want to do anything over normal raiding expect to be doing lots of M+. I don’t like the timed aspect of M+, everyone is rushing and as a parent sometimes I have to stop the game and go take care of something, thus wasting 4 other people’s time. I stopped playing WoW and have honestly really enjoyed just playing other games, when I was playing WoW that was all I had time for (grind grind grind) but now I’ve played and re-played games that I wouldn’t have had time for. I started playing Diablo 4 and it definitely has grind going on but it’s much easier to put down after playing for a little bit and the content is amazing. I played the new Starship Troopers FPS and while it’s early release it was good fun and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with that. I also got a Steam Deck and have had fun replaying South Park the stick of truth on the couch while hanging with the family.

I guess I’m getting old, this one made zero sense until I did some searching. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_(comic)

Diablo 4, haven’t been able to crack out like my friends but I’m really enjoying this game. There are a lot of systems, just hit 50 and didn’t even know what paragon was.

Similar story, but I still poke at /. - it’s still going! The most refreshing thing about using Lemmy to me is not having ads everywhere, I used a pihole and other browser extensions but you still have to deal with the inline ads mimicking user posts on reddit.

Aye just on the Steam Deck, but it could be interesting to run it on a beefy desktop. I spent about 6 months running only Fedora on my gaming rig and things worked pretty well. I got back into World of Warcraft and it worked awesome until they released a patch and it didn’t work for days…I was too cracked out on wow so limped back to wintendo. I’ve been wow free for 6 months now so it might be time to give it a go again.

Also lol @ Volvo releasing a SteamOS ISO, had to read that twice

MacOS for work (very simple wireless packet captures, full m$ office suite with little effort). Servers are Debian, used to be Arch but I didn’t upgrade enough / I upgraded too much / you get the idea and things went boom too often (Nextcloud in particular). Does SteamOS count too? I think it’s pretty rad.

Not as mainstream as others but MotoGP (world road motorcycling championship) is also a target https://www.bbc.com/sport/motorsport/62796771
