Tolkien was actually around before (post)wartime rationing decimated British food standards.

Prophecy of Pendor is legendary. I might get bannerlord if they release a Pendor mod for it.

He’s an excellent and prolific author of comedic fantasy novels. Its worth at least picking up one of his books to see if its your cup of tea.

But there’s “dees tits”

Jagged alliance 3 is a very solid sequel, it is very long though.

There’s also a mod to fix the portraits which imo look awful in vanilla.

Even Nvidia drivers are easy now.

For me it’s just that the deck is a better low power device and has trackpads. I can play RPGs from the 90s at 3 watts for 8 hours on a single charge. The thing I’m most excited for in a deck2 would be even better performance under 10W.

GOG games work great with heroic because no DRM, almost as easy as steam games. Epic is a pain in the ass though because you need to be logged in to play them. They work offline for a time but every time I travel I have to reenter username, password, 2FA code and captcha. For whatever reason it just refuses to remember the device. Still Civ6 is good on deck and it was free on epic.

Be careful about what you take away from influencers like Huberman etc. They are businesses first and foremost, and while their business may involve giving good advice, they’re ultimately driven by views which can lead them to exaggerate and overrepresent evidence for the sake of having new, compelling content.
