Huh, so what other #ASEAN #gamers have mentioned, South-East Asia now have a better ping to European gaming servers than US West Coast (or any US-based gaming servers).

This is interesting. I'm going to expand my test in the future. But for now, the results are the same with or without VPN. I guess ASEAN now have a direct connection to the EU IX and uses the latest technology?

I wonder where our connection passes through to get to the EU.

Here in the Philippines, our connection goes through:

1. Taiwan or Hong Kong
2. From there it travels the Pacific Ocean to US West Coast.
3. From US West Coast, it travels to Central.
4. From Central to East Coast.
5. From East Coast to Europe.

If we now have a connection direct to EU IX, then it means we're no longer passing through the US?

Any IX experts out there?

Ooh, found this article: “12 of Asia’s most important submarine cable projects”

> Massive growth in connectivity demand in Asia has led to increased capacity requirements, and construction of submarine and subsea cables is growing to meet this demand. An estimated $2.6 billion worth of current and future submarine cable projects are planned for completion by 2025 – here are profiles of 12 of the most important.

It looks like by 2025, connection with the US West Coast is going to be far better than it already is. I guess, from a gamer perspective, we should stick to North American servers. LOL ^_^;; Maybe the EU connection is better right now because there were projects which were recently completed?? But once the other projects connecting us to US West Coast are online, our NA connection will still be better in the long run.

A game I recently started playing is ToME or Tales of Maj'Eyal. It is a roguelike singleplayer game.

It has been around since 2010, but it goes all the way back if we count its predecessors. It is also an open-source game.

As of this post:

• There are already 3 expansions.
• The 4th expansion is set to enter beta testing soon.
• The 5th expansion is already being developed in parallel.

Give it a try, available in Linux, Windows, and OSX. (Also available via Steam.)

Check the official website for screenshots, videos, and more information!

A bit of history based on what I was able to find:

• Originally named: Tales of Middle-Earth: The Fourth Age. Set 122 years after the fall of Sauron.
• In 2010-11-21, the game setting was changed entirely into a new one. See: https://te4.org/news?page=27
• Its predecessor was “Tales of Middle Earth”. See: https://www.t-o-m-e.net

@vasus It is!

And apologies, hashtags are important in the fediverse. ^_^

Hmm… what I can do next time is to not use inline hashtags, and just have it in a separate line. Thank you for the feedback!

@slazer2au Apologies! In any case, updated and moved the inline tags down.

This year, I bought the entire packs/bundles of #DnD #DOS classics via #Steam as well as #Ultima 1 to 7 via #GOG.

The last time I played most of these were from 1988 to 1996. One or two I played again sometime early 2000s, randomly.

I already started with #ChampionsOfKrynn and #Ultima7 Part 1, and I'm already cheating. ROFL. I mean, the packs made it easy to cheat.

Back in the 90s, we had to use a hex editor like #PCtools. We open the savegame file, search through it through the hex editor, and did our magic.

@Lunar Ahh! Fable, Fallout, and Witcher! I miss those too. Hmm, I think they're on winter sale, I might be able to grab them as well. ^_^;;

@sub_ Yep, I'm using #Exult. I find it easier than regular #DOSBox. I used the files installed by GOG for Exult Linux. And true, I like the QoL features they added!

@TropicalDingdong That's true. When a modern remake is made, it misses the feel of the original that made it popular.

The remakes usually focus on the gameplay and graphics, forgetting that there are other factors which made the original so awesome to play.

@hamburglar26 Ooh! I'll have to check that. First time I heard there's a sequel. :D

@worfamerryman Hahaha. Just woke up and started reminiscing. :p

Or, maybe, I am a time traveller doing research. ^_~
