necropola

I've watched roughly half of the guides and I'd say they are a bit too much for a new player and actual experts will probably know most of the stuff being said ....

... but for a Casual Guild Wars Veteran like me they really hit the spot. There are still so many builds and parts/aspects of the game I haven't tried that I immeditely felt the itch again.

What a great game was and still is Guild Wars 1

Notes:

• Both the Backend as well as the Frontend have a rather convoluted commit history (UI much worse than BE). It almost looks like git rebase does not exist.

Not too long now until lemmy-0.18.0 gets released.

Looks like Captchas have been restored after they been initially removed from 0.18.X and then removed again. It's getting funny!

TL;DR: lemmy-0.18.0 has been released without support for Captchas 💣

It might be a good idea to have a Mastodon Account for the lemmy.wtf instance. Especially in case the lemmy instance goes down (like now).

Does anybody know why and when thumbnails for YouTube videos are shown or not? It appears to depend on the lemmy instance the posts are served from:

Without Thumbnails

• https://lemmy.world/c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf
• https://lemmy.wtf/c/guildwars2

With Thumbnails

• https://feddit.de/c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf
• https://lemm.ee/c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf

Update: It's not only YT thumbnails which aren't shown. This is your post about the free 24 slot bag as shown on lemmy.wtf (without thumbnail), lemmy.world (without thumbnail) and feddit.de (with thumbnail):
