WTF is #Blizzard doing?! Apparently hackers have been exploiting #Starcraft2 to spring clips of actual mass shootings and videos designed to trigger epileptic seizures, as well as other disturbing content, on unsuspecting players for at least A YEAR!! #videogames #terrorism https://kotaku.com/starcraft-2-hackers-mass-shooting-video-blizzard-pc-1851777332
Damn I just remembered that #incontrol passed away really young...
#StarCraftMassRecall is one of those absolutely wild mods: a full remake of #StarCraft1 and #BroodWar in #StarCraft2, complete with new models and cutscenes. Since StarCraft 2 is now free-to-play, that means this long-running project is as well. #GameMods #Games #StarCraft
A group of modders have spent 10 years honing a remake of StarCraft 1 and Brood War in StarCraft 2, complete with remastered cutscenes and custom unit models

Big get for my StarCraft2 collection
Now what do I do with it?
#starcraft2
For reference on how I'm playing #StarCraft2 in Linux, in Steam use the Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library option. Download the BattleNet installer and Browse... for it from the above Steam option. From the newly created Steam page for that .EXE, click the gear and choose Properties...
Go to Compatibility and enable Proton. The first time, it'll install BattleNet, on subsequent runs it'll just launch it. You can install StarCraft 2 from that launcher, and it launches just fine!
Have had plenty of other games to play, but this week I got back to #StarCraft2. Both Lutris and Bottles had both ended up confusing me with "installing" and yet *not* installing the game? But I used the Steam "add non-steam game" trick and that works! It's slightly slow to start up, and I'd say there's a tiny bit of lag in game but not enough to ruin game play for me. Played a few single player rounds, and a bunch of 2 and 3 player games.
Seems like lots of issues getting #Lutris to correctly install #BattleNet and get #StarCraft2 working repeatedly on #LinuxMint and #Ubuntu 22. Anyone do exactly that?
I was able to "install" it, install the game, run it... But the installation threw errors, and after exiting I couldn't relaunch BattleNet. Ugh.
@retorch I run #starcraft2 without issues on endeavour OS 
(arch based) through bottles (https://usebottles.com).
Any #StarCraft (technically #StarCraft2) players out there?
That was too easy... ? Do you play... on LINUX?!
I put Ubuntu 18.04 LTS/20.04 LTS on 2 older laptops - don't have either now. Also WSL / WSL2 (including using it for work stuff!) But I'm tempted to give it a more serious, immersive try on my Lenovo Legion 5 (AMD cpu, AMD iGPU, Nvidia dGPU).
#Ubuntu again? #ArchLinux? #Fedora? #Pop? #LinuxMint? #Debian?
Less worried about my Steam games - I've checked a bunch! Some native!
What's wrong with an #introduction weeks after joining Mastodon?
I am a big #Starcraft2 #esports fan located in Ajax Ontario. When not watching SC2 on twitch, i'm usually watching variety Youtube streams, playing games on my #NintendoSwitch, or thinking about playing the #ttrpg #TorgEternity (but never actually playing it)
I'm also a casual #Linux user (it's my home desktop OS, but I don't get into the weeds)
Here's my #introduction
- Trying to waste my time with God
- Preacher of the gospel
- Writing at https://theologic.us - This is where I am writing a commentary set on the Bible and the 1689 2LBC. Also, whatever I am preaching, my sermon notes will be posted here.
