    Awesome read. I bought the game few weeks ago and the tutorial was a huge letdown. I’m glad I took time and played the game instead of trying to understand the tutorial which made the game look so complicated and confusing. I hope they remake it someday and summarize it instead of overexplaining.

    Been playing for ten hours now and hoping to win with each deck. So much fun!


  • Quick version:

    • Install latest Java
    • Install latest Minecraft Java server
    • Play vanilla Minecraft

    Rabbit hole:

    • Bedrock / Java version differences
    • Modpacks, mods and Minecraft version differences (1.12, 1.20) require different Java versions.
    • Official server vs 3rd party software (papermc, purpur…)
    • Publicly open server vs firewalled

  • My most played game was Brotato. It just plays so well and one run lasts about 20mins which is perfect for me when I don’t want to commit too much time.

    My most surprising game is probably a Trackmania which took a while to get working because of the Ubisoft launcher not playing nice with Linux but then again there are so many guides to get it working it’s not that big of a deal. For me I had to change the wlan MTU packet from 1500 to under 1000 and all was well.

    Outside tinkering I’d suggest Heaven’s Vault. Adventure/Puzzle game where you decipher an unknown language from glyphs. You can quit and next time you pick the game it will give a summary where you left last time storywise - such an awesome quality of life for short gaming bursts






  • TW:Warhammer 1 has the added bonus that if you like TW:W games and in a few years buy the second Warhammer you can ‘merge’ the campaigns in to a bigger campaign called Mortal Empires. You can play all the factions (and DLCs you own) from both games in that campaign. Same applies to Warhammer 3
