I believe the new edition has all the dlc included though I dont know for sure if they’ll work in the old edition, I had already owned the old dlc when the epic update happened. I assume so but I can’t guarantee it. As for content the re elected version is basically just the base game with all the dlc included, so there wasn’t anything new besides jamming epic integration and crossplay into the game.

If you are getting the game on steam keep in mind the last update broke basically all the old mods, and it was late enough after development that they didn’t really get updates. If you want to mod the game or avoid it pestering you about logging into epic use the older version you can apply in the properties of the game in steam.

Also know that if you want to play coop ymmv, its a fun game but crashes and disconnects are common, and your progress with your friend might desync if you disconnect, so you may need to juggle who is hosting.

TLDR: good game, buggy coop, mod scene is sort of complicated due to late stage patches to implement EGS stuff.

Been playing age of wonder 4 with a friend, I really like that you can build your own factions and faction leaders, though I’d def install the fair play ai mod, since the ai is a lot less annoying with it.

Also void crew, its sort of like sea of thieves in space, but very much still in early access and has some obvious issues(AA seems to not work at all for me lol). Its fun so far tho.

Ublock origin on firefox. Never forced an update, never did any fiddling with block lists. Never got a single warning or notification, still works perfectly. Huh.

My favorites are ffxiv, because the music is very closely woven into the story with motifs and stuff, so it brings me back to it. Its also just pretty as fuck, they do a lot of weaving other songs and musical themes into other songs, so a lot of the time you’ll be in a boss fight and recognize a theme from earlier, mixed in with the boss music. Some context is spoilers, so I won’t go into it, but the Endwalker final boss has the music shifting from each previous expansions themes, morphing and shifting to fit the overarching boss theme, and its fucking glorious.

Also, the ace combat games have the most insane music, its basically a meme that “everyone’s a badass until the sky starts singing latin at you” Its this really cool mix of operatic vocals and rock/synth music and its so fucking good.

To clarify, its less a virus running from watching, and more “check out this useless software plz click me” and the software is bloatware that wants a bunch of permissions to suck up data. Or ads for psuedo pyramid schemes or “lose weight fast” sort of shit.

So virus is probably the wrong term, technically. But bloatware, useless garbage, and scams, absolutely.

ReVanced. Youtube ads are either scams or viruses half the time, and they’re exhausting mentally to deal with. I’ll buy merch from people I want to support, because fuck google.
