Oh you’re right! That’s an embarrassing mistake to make. I never got the stealth suit from Old World Blues.

If I recall it’s from the “China invades Alska simulator” one. Can’t remember the name if it. Probably a good sign I need to go replay new Vegas!

I’ve gone with PopOs. Ubuntu based so well supported. They’ve been around for a while now so they won’t disappear over night. Gaming just works.

I was on Nobara for a while and really liked it. but while glorious eggroll is the goat, I don’t want to put my DE in the hands of a single person.

Since swapping the I’ve experienced one game crashing freeze (which I hope was a one off), and when screen sharing BG3 over discord it slows the game down to a crawl. But I blame discord for this one, as its fine when streaming from OBS.

Yeah the issue is I wouldn’t want to compromise quality too much. But I might just start saving up now for whatever valve is cooking up next :) Another issue with using a quest is that you have to run the occulus app (when wired), eating up some of that sweet precious VRAM.

I got a Quest 3 that I use with a USB-c cable. Price is great but having to fiddle around with video compression settings on top of all other VR settings has proven to be a bit tedious. I’m still trying to figure out what pcvr headset to go for that won’t complete drain my bank account (there’s probably tons of used ones out there).

Glad to hear VR is possible and getting better on Linux though!

Oh what’s your Linux setup for VR? I thought it was very janky still? Once I get my storage server set up I was planing on moving fully to windows except for a small drive for VR titlea.

It’s currently sitting with a 3600X with 32GB of corsair vengence ram, and trying to scrounge around for any hardrives I can find for storage :P

But it’s working really well for hosting jellyfin and some game servers on it.

I’ll give it a go, didn’t see the previous give always. The Invincible would be sweet to play in full. I tried the demo and the story had me intrigued and the art style is really cool. Similar in vibe to Red Matter and other “everyone’s vanished” mysteries. I’m dumb and can’t read. Out of the options there I’d love to relieve some old Tomb Raider nostalgia!

On another note, I recently cleaned up a pretty gnarly PC case. When my friend was in need to a PC I threw together some old parts for him. The last couple of years got pretty dark for him, and his flat was turned into more or less a drug den. But he’s recently kicked everyone out and reclaimed it. I was in need of a case to build a server in and he asked if I wanted the old one back as he was able to buy a new computer for himself.

All in all it took a bit over 1 litre of isopropyl alcohol, some elbow grease, and a water hose :P

Last time I checked codium out it couldn’t support the vs code marketplace/plugin repo. Is this still the case? I should take another look at it either way though :)

Edit: I answered my own question by reading some more comments. So looks like there are alternative plugin registries. I’ll definitely have a go at switching now.

Just to add my two pennies (that’s a saying, right?), I do use VS code as my default text editor. Professionally and for other projects in C++/C# I use the full fat visual studio. But for scripting, config editing, hex files, todo lists and such I use Code.

I’ve never been much of a person who needs to shave off every possible second in my workflow with macros and plugins, my brain is just not fast enough to out pace my hands, and the command palette does pretty much all I could wish for.

I of course wish it was fully open source, but for being the only Microsoft product I daily it isn’t too bad.

I mean it’s the whole tolerant paradox right. Why should we tolerate absolute douche nozzles to stay? To make things clear I absolutely despise the far right rise going on in Europe, and speaking from a Swedish perspective I feel part of it started with the rise of the right wing Swedish Democrats. But a big reason they got so much air time is because they were the only ones who talked about immigration at all, so they could entirely steer the conversation. Had the other parties actually come up with reasonable polices around immigration in the first place I don’t think SD would be as popular as they are now.

I just want to give a shout out to the Star wars mod Galactic Contention for Squad. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2428425228

It is a bit more involved than your typical battlefront match, but the reward is a Star Wars game we could have only dreamed of in the past. I can’t overstate how good of a mod this is.
