Props for trying your hand at Russian. Being a native speaker, only about a year ago did I realize how ridiculously complex the language is. From phonetics, to high context dependence, to word building and conjugation, I commend people who are tackling this abomination.

Huh. I'm not that old, but now it makes sense why it gives the "ancient tech in a candywrap" vibe. I like the thing, though.

And here I thought people write "1st" because they are lazy and want to press 3 keys instead of 5.

That's some good data! I'm mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!

There is no single person responsible for Cyrillic script. It is mostly believed to be created by mixing and changing Greek and Glagolic scripts by the scholars of Preslav Literary School, which was indeed in Bulgaria. After a while, Peter the Great changed it a lot. And then Stalin stomped out almost all the deviations in the usage of the script.

The last part is mostly why it is considered Russian. A lot of languages suffered because of Moscow just forcing them to use the version of Cyrillic that Russians were using.

It's a dead script that was not that common in the first place, in Kievan Rus' it was even used as a form of encryption in XI—XVI centuries for how little spread it was. It is also very different from modern Cyrillic. So, saying "most Slavs don't know how to read it" is a bit of an understatement. Noone knows how to read it, apart from some linguists and overzealous Witcher fans.

Even with disabled autoupdates, the launcher itself still tries to update on my end. Fixed it the barbaric way, by clearing the contents of that pesky folder and doing

sudo chmod a-rwx Battle.net.14542

That is solvable, though.

Doesn't take much time to get used to, and it does most things VS does.

Nobody asked about ditching Windows, though.

But if you are really interested, for me it's VR games.

Did they play through genocide? If not, then you can play it yourself for an extra bit of content and the banger music it provides.
