I have a question about... Gaming on Mac. I know, I know. It's for my wife, though. Lol!
She has a very old Windows laptop that I cannot convince her to let me put Linux on to improve its life. I'm looking to source an upgrade for her. She is an iPhone person, through and through, and I thought it might be nice to get something for her in that ecosystem. So, I'm looking into a MacBook of some sort.
The question: how does a MacBook hold up to light gaming? We're talking Sims 4 and Minecraft, primarily.
I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious... does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?
EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn't ever considered. Including one which means I'll have to install Edge, so... thanks, I guess. 😂
For some Arceus-forsaken reason, I have set upon myself the task of catching all the various forms of Pokémon available in Paldea (except Vivillon, fuck that. 😅) and that means getting my hands on an Antique Form Sinistea.
I've been hanging around Alfornada, catching every cuppa I cross paths with for... A while now. I have over three full boxes of Phony Sinistea. I realize now I could just check their little teacup booties for a sticker before bothering to catch them, so I can spend less money on repeat balls now.
But is there anything I should know about hunting this thing down? Are there areas it's more likely to spawn, or areas that it definitely won't spawn at all? I assume you can't breed Phony teacups to get an authentic Antique; will they show up in mass outbreaks? Is there any way to increase my odds of finding an Antique Sinistea? Do I just need to suck it up and keep grinding?
If you are a member of Blackmoore's Inquisitorial Guild, stop reading.
I don't think any of my players are on Lemmy, but better safe than sorry.
A couple sessions ago, my Dwarf Fighter drew a weapon on a member of the administrative staff of a very prominent magic school. The school is a part of an overarching guild of magi who have branches in all the major cities, and are treated as their own sovereign body. Largely, offenses against the magi are dealt with by the magi, and the state doesn't get involved.
Unfortunately for the dwarf, this staff member has a kind of... Umbridge-esque relationship with discipline. The player has been placed in a magical dream-state to "learn his lesson," the lesson being "I will not incite violence within the school." His guild mates have devised a plan to get him out... by convincing the staff to let them join him in the dream.
His punishment is to face off against a goliath of a man in a colosseum, fighting for his life. If he dies, he wakes up by the colosseum entrance for processing, to be brought back in for the next fight.
The monstrosity he is fighting cannot die, but if brought to 0 enters a sort of stasis where he regains his health slowly, allowing for planning time. Or time to run! He is powered by a crystallized shard of a dead god's soul that the mages are using as a source of nearly infinite magical energy. This is an object of interest for the party.
My struggle here is in thinking of an engaging way for them to acquire said gem and shut down the dream from the inside. Any ideas?
The gem does not have to be physically on the jailer. The solution does not have to involve heavy combat, but it is a welcome addition. The Human Fighter loves a good slog-fest.
Sorry for the wall of text, and thanks in advance for any help!
