Pretty much the same experience here. During my first week of full-time Linux I managed to break KDE Plasma with a widget IIRC and AI was able to tell me which file in .config I needed to delete to restore to default.

By 1.8 you mean the combat overhaul update, right? Because you just spurred a memory of playing what must have been a predecessor to this back in the Beta 1.8 / 1.0 days

On a good day we get 55-60Mbit. At least we have a great ping most of the time. It sucks but that’s the only option around that’s not exorbitantly expensive out in the middle of nowhere

1 hour for 100+GB? That would take me all night and then some

That’s funny because I always let it compile before playing. Maybe it’s because the games I play dont get updates constantly but I really only see it when I play a game for the first time.
