  • I’ve played Deus Ex (and the revision mod) and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on Linux without issue. If you’re playing steam games it’s basically just install and play. Especially for old games.

    There’s a website called protondb.com you can check for compatibility. Gaming on Linux is so good now though, I don’t even check anymore before buying games.

    Word of warning though. While modding games running through wine/proton is possible, mod managers don’t usually work or are tedious to set up. I don’t mod too much so I usually just manually install or stick with steam workshop mods.



  • The problem is really down to finding places where you can actually build something like a hydroelectric power plant.

    You need a large area you can safely flood. (No villages in the area or only villages you can buy out the owners of) or a high up lake.

    The area to flood needs to have the geology required to construct a dam safely.

    And finally, the area needs to be pretty high up and have an area below you can direct the outgoing water to.




  • Melvor Idle is a great call. The base game is a solid idle game and there’s a load of mods too.

    I did a HCCO12B (Hardcore combat only, 12 bank slots only) run when the game first released.

    Reinstalled the game yesterday and started another HCCO run using the new mod, it adds some QoL and tweaks.

    My only negative about it is that when playing normally, I always feel like there’s a perfect/optimal strategy and I should figure it out before playing.



  • Yeah I have the enhanced and 4/6 armour seeds. I know I can do without, I have done a few raids already. I just don’t feel like doing more raids with a d-crossbow if I’m this close to finishing crystal. Especially since using the bowfa is a ton of fun (been using it with the crystal top and slayer helm on some tasks). It would also make stuff like Bandos/Cerb etc better.

    I’ve been afking shooting stars at work. Still a while off 92 mining sadly. I’d love amethyst for the BP. I have a ton of Addy darts but they suck since the BP nerfs.






  • Sorry for the late reply, still getting used to lemmy and missed the notification.

    I’m probably in the minority but I didn’t actually do it to completely de-google. I still have some Google services installed, they are sandboxed and limited to what I actively want though.

    My main reason was removing the insane bloat that comes with modern phones. Think Facebook/Google and vendor specific apps being preinstalled without the ability to remove, forced google search bar on the home screen etc… Now I have a pretty clean, fairly safe, OS which behaves almost exactly like a normal phone.


  • The learning curve is actually pretty manageable. Took me an afternoon to be good enough to create lab reports for Uni. Creating your first template takes a bit but isn’t super hard. Afterwards you can reuse that and only need to tweak.

    This is the Tutorial I used. For an editor I’d suggest VSCode with LaTeX Workshop. (There’s also LTeX which is a great grammar and spelling checker)
