< meant some time ago to gather some text from the Italian version of Rayman Legends, to add a few quotations at least to some of the articles…
Speaking of Rayman Legends, < tried to play it today, but discovered that Uplay was once again broken with Wine. < decided "sod this for a game of soldiers" and installed Lutris, which < was assured would make it work. < had to manually override one of the xaudio DLLs to make the sound work properly, but other than that it worked!
< was able to use the same program to get BG&E working in widescreen, finally!
< uses Lutris at times too because it saves the headache of trying to make certain things work. < didn't need it for Origins or Legends since < used the Steam versions, but it would surely help with the GoG/uPlay versions.
That's also what < was using to test Better Rayman 3.
Last week with <'s new instructor was pretty great, < looks forward to the remaining weeks learning from him. Today < is going to apparently be learning annotations and other things that < doesn't know about ( < will update this post later)

< wonders when the timer for the days to pass for Record Day to approach will display.
This is precisely why < mentioned Record Day here the other day. There's only 5 days to go and < recalls that counter being live when there was over a week to go last time.
< hadn't realised that many RayWiki articles on Rayman Legends levels require more images. < has been going through some since < happens to be playing Legends again anyway.
< accidentally uploaded a 4k (3840x2160) image to one of the articles, since < plays the game on <'s 4k TV and the screenshots are 4k. < had to resize it to 1080p since < thinks 4k images would be overkill for RayWiki and take up way too much bandwidth, as they're over 5MB each.
< has made <'s first attempt at a contribution to the Italian RayWiki.
While < was doing it, < managed to lock up <'s display by exiting Rayman Legends (which < had done without consequence several times earlier today ) but managed to recover <'s work by SSHing in with <'s phone and asking qutebrowser to coredump, before rebooting.
< isn't exactly making the case for Linux gaming by saying Rayman Legends locked up <'s display, but < will qualify it by pointing out that < is using sway with nouveau, while a more regular gamer would probably be using Xorg with Nvidia's driver.
< is able to alt+tab out of Legends when < plays, but < is using Mesa drivers with an AMD GPU. < can't tab out of Origins though for some reason, the game won't minimise, but that's probably dxvk throwing a spanner in the works.
< has mainly worked on missing screenshots and level paintings the last couple of days. < can really only edit the English articles, but maybe some of the screenshots could still be used for other languages.
Swordofseals has done another live stream of himself playing "The Evil Within" today.
And of < course < got to watch it. And < also seen the reactions and talks going on about the weird pizza that can be ordered from time to time.
Swordofseals posted a screenshot of the weird pizza in the live stream's chat and < decided to save the picture for laughs.
< thinks it is pizza. But it is kinda like a cheeseburger since burger sauce can be used on it. You have to admit that this is the weirdest thing you can possibly order.
< had given up hope on getting <'s motherboard today, the tracking hadn't even updated since yesterday evening. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door just before 6PM and <'s motherboard is here.
< has to put the new one in now and make sure everything is working. < also apologises that the TTQ pace is so slow, <'s been putting a lot of effort into editing RayWiki articles, including taking good screenshots and trying to word the articles in a way so they look decent. That's the main reason < has only been asking 1-2 questions per day, as <'s paying so much attention to RayWiki.
< has the spacer bands stuck between <'s teeth to push the teeth together until the next appointment. < isn't feeling as much discomfort as < thought. There is no pain either but something tells < that it is going to ache when < doesn't want it to but for now everything seems fine.
Painkillers are stored just in case...
< might be able to make it for Record Day after all. Speaking of Record Day, < is happy to see the timer counting down for it.
<'s also very glad to see the timer counting down now.
< can't wait to be on here when that day arrives. < also found 11 threads so far to bump for the occasion but < thinks < will keep looking for a few more.
As long as ^ doesn’t go bumping silly threads like < did last year, < thinks ^ will be ok with bumping lots of threads. One day left til RD huh....for < it starts on Friday afternoon, at 4PM.
< finds it hilarious how when < checks <‘s control panel it almost always gives incorrect dates of <‘s real activity. < checked just now and it states that < was last active here on Fri Aug 16, when clearly that is not the case here.
Also do not worry ^^^, since < is sure that ^^^ is pretty busy these days, we can wait. Besides there is something exciting to look forward to soon.

Don't worry ^, < made it sure that nothing like that ever happens. By the way, one of the threads that < plans to bump is the Pwnedage Game as < thinks that would be perfect for RD since you can just post a word and then someone else could post something that beats the thing that the person said above and it could also be a joke and since RD is mainly about having fun and enjoying yourself, that would be absolutely perfect in every way for RD, < thinks.
