  • Warcraft III had maps called “RP Maps”, which were kindof like D&D placing things, except everyone had the same control over the map. So it became more about telling a story rather than one person leading a group’s game for them.

    When wc3 kindof died off that kindof game along with many others didn’t leave it. SCII mapmakers tried but it had issues with the complexity, and with SCII not allowing traditional saving for long sessions.

    A lot of sandbox games are cool, but built around FPS engines instead of anything third person.




  • While it might not be an issue anymore, just make sure you look up driver support for wireless for whatever laptop you choose.

    2 of the laptops I had in the past used a broadcom driver that was just a nightmare to setup on Linux

    There’s a good chance it’s not really a big deal anymore, but if you’re new to linux just double check that it’s not something you’ll run into.







  • That’s a hard question.

    I want Firefox to be better. I’ve gone back to it many times in 20 years. I’m using it right now.

    But I tend to always leave at some point due to performance issues that I can never resolve. I’m having a good run at the moment with the worst of it being a random lockup I can’t seem to figure out the cause of (and is pretty much just a task manager close, reopen, and resume…and infrequent enough to not really cause much headache)

    But other times i’ve had memory leaks, or using most of the ram, or terrible addon management. I pretty much tried Chrome in the first place because back whenever Chrome came out, Firefox was using so much memory that I couldn’t play games while Firefox was open, and multitasking is one of the things I’ve always taken as the reason to play games on PC over consoles.

    All in all, I think it represents something better, but whether or not it is better is always up in the air. I just hope people stay hard on them to keep trying to improve the system, because i’m sure there’s people far further on the fence than I am, and I think firefox is capable of just being a good browser.
