>>106898294
I was 7 when this came out and it was my first pc game when I was 8 because my grandfather decided it was perfectly appropriate. Still go back and play once every year or so. D2R is pretty nice.

Oh, I'm ready to go home. I have zero confidence in nexon, but this seems like something very difficult to fumble.

I setup another nvme ssd just to install windows for it. Prepared for disappointment, but I'm sure I'll get at least a few weeks of nostalgic bliss out of it.

Well someone at Blizzard thought that 13 year old Natalie Portman rocked at the time.

Wish we’d go back to gray windows like this. 90s UI was pretty nice

>>106898677
She was legit 13-14 when the game was being developed and 15 technically when the game released. Damn

I use WINE for all my gaming. But my WoW installer is different, I assume because it's a battle chest version?

linus is a retard but it's on the pop os devs that this can happen at all
wasn't he just doing a normal upgrade?

>wasn't he just doing a normal upgrade
I think he tried to install steam

>>106898525
>>106901664
He followed instructions on how to install steam.

>>106901937
whose?

>>106901875
This will never not be funny.

>>106901875
there can only be one linus

>>106901961
mine

>>106901664
No, he was trying to install Steam. It was part POP for that fuck up and part Linus for being retarded and not reading the output message/warnings before typing "YES, DO AS I SAY!"

It's like typing in "rm -rf / --no-preserve-root" with a protection going "are you REALLY sure you want to do that? type 'yes, I'm a retard'" and then typing 'YES, I'M A RETARD!" and wondering why your system was nuked.

pro tip to winrefugees: Chatgpt knows how to use linux, just tell it what you want to install it will give you the shit to paste into your terminal

pro tip to linuxfags: ain't gonna use your snake oil OS

Old MMO launchers used to have so much soul.

>He was named after Linus Pauling, the Nobel Prize–winning American chemist. He was diagnosed with ADHD as a child.
>Linus Carl Pauling was an American chemist and peace activist. He published more than 1,200 papers and books, of which about 850 dealt with scientific topics. New Scientist called him one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time. For his scientific work, Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954. For his peace activism, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is one of five people to have won more than one Nobel Prize. Of these, he is the only person to have been awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes, and one of two people to be awarded Nobel Prizes in different fields, the other being Marie Skłodowska-Curie.
>Pauling was one of the founders of the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology.
holy shit never knew about this dude

>>106902126
launchers in general were pvre sovl. I can still vivdly remember the 'click' sound when you clicked the Play button on the perfect world launcher.
I had to play pw for years before I finally got into wow around the time mist of pandaria was released because I was poor. a school friend had to copy his wow installation to a usb stick for me because my shitty internet just would not download the 10 or so gigs before the heat death of the universe

The worst thing about otherwise famed scientist Linus Pauling is that he is to be blamed for spreading the myth that Vitamin C can help prevent or cure the flu, which many Baby Boomers still believe, since they never quite understood the difference between scurvy and the flu.

I didn't know Chrome existed until I was years into using Windows 7. But Firefox and Opera (back when it was using Presto), man... Those were the days...
