Needs a mobile phone number to verify. That’s a bit annoying. More effort than I care to put in to try it.

I used to have a similar situation, I used Vscode remote development to effectively work from any machine. Another thing I tried was using Nextcloud to watch the working directory, which automatically synchronized files when they change.

Yep. Because windows 95 and 98 exist, and there is a bunch of software which would do a check for the operating system version you were running with something like, if the operating system name starts with “Windows 9” etc

I think last time I ran some portable Windows USB to do that.

Its honestly such a dead game at the moment, as in the world feels super empty and uninteresting. The pathing for the Pals is really bad too - trying to build a multistorey building is basically a nonstarter as they can’t really navigate up stairs.

Based on that you can get costumes/skins for your Pals, I’m pretty sure they’ll go live service with those as micro transactions.

Its an option in Lutris to automatically create a shortcut in your Steam game library for a “Non-Steam game”. But yes, I think you’re right - that’s probably what is happening

It works when I launch through Lutris, but yea - using the Steam shortcut it doesn’t work. I’m sure it all used to work on my old system, but not sure if I’ve tried it since moving to Wayland

It’s definitely something like this - from what I can tell the controller hasn’t moved “focus” to the game as I can still hear the Steam Big Picture menu making noise etc.

Oh, that ones easy. The developers for Stalker 2 are in Ukraine.

Sometimes writing the game engine is just more fun than making the game itself, ok…

For this type of game, performance is really inconsistent. Without even building a mega base etc, sometimes it’ll decide to just start moving as a slide show at like 20 fps. When I first load it it runs nicely at 100fps (with some tuning of the graphics).

Its especially bad if you go into a new town. Sometimes it’ll go fine, but chances are it’ll run like shit until you close the game and reopen it.

Thanks for your responses. Pretty incredible that its capable of being so flexible and still be a coherent game. The community behind it must be amazingly passionate about it.

What is it about Deus Ex that allows that type of mod to exist?

Feed the Deep - swim down the depths to haul resources back, so you can upgrade your air tank etc. Super chill vibe, but has some really cool mechanics with the environment and enemies that you come across which make survival much more difficult.

I guess you’d need 10 to represent 0, and if you got 2x 10 that would be 100?

Just watched a review. Looks pretty good, they specifically mention Home Assistant as well which is very cool.

Well, the goal would be that its not accessible externally. And I’m OK with providing footage should they request it - that’s just something you have to accept when owning a security system.

Sure, that’s why I put it in quotes. What smart is, is subjective.

I think that’s a reasonable request? An internet connection shouldn’t be necessary.

Sweet. Thanks mate.
