It’s definitely massive - I’d guess at the 90GB+ number, but I don’t think it reached 150GB. I had it installed awhile back on an SD card and I didn’t experience many problems in the game. Just takes a little longer to load new places, but the gaming experience was still smooth.
Damn. Let me know if you find it.
I’m using an app called Hermit for this. It makes webpages into apps and gives flexibility to customize them heavily. User scripts as well. It works great with my instance (lemdroid) since they offer a few front end options.
You can also solo apps from each other. Definitely check it out.
I just implemented a cookie consent bar on my company’s website and the agencies/vendors who advertise for us were giving me so much shit for having reject available right away. But thankfully our Legal department said keep it there… Or else. “Hands tied… Soooooorry!”
Hopefully the invite came through for you.
Woo! It’s a fun game. Definitely more my style than Dota.
I’m going to send you a friend invite shortly so I can provide a playtest invite.
Very much appreciated! I’ll send it to the next person in the thread. Is the invite just an item in my Steam inventory? Or something within the game itself?
Thanks!
If your offer is still on the table, I’d be up for an invite. I will also pass one on if received:
Yesterday I went and got a pcie nvme adapter (my two motherboard slots are taken up by windows+gaming drive). Added in a 2TB to the adapter and installed Garuda linux - based on Arch.
So far it has been great. A couple little things popped up, like adding panels to the other two side monitors. But quick searches online and everything has been working very smoothly. I even put chrome on for work stuff so I don’t have to use the company-given laptop. – Side note, if anyone knows of a way to container that chrome install so work stuff is super separate, please share. –
Like another comment mentioned, some games won’t work either because of anti-cheat that isn’t enabled for linux, or just not good proton support. But for the most part I can still play 90% of the games I normally do: DRG, CS2, Darktide, battlebit, etc. Hopefully the times I need to reboot into windows are rare, because this has been a great experience. Way better than years ago when I tried to make the switch but gaming support just wasn’t where I needed it.
Even last week when we had the 3 days of 100+ heat? When it’s above 85, I have terrible air circulation in my place and need to turn the AC on.
I actually just had strabismus surgery this past Thursday. I was definitely nervous before going into the operating room, but I’ve been under before for a tonsillectomy. As I was wheeled on my gurney into the OR, they gave me a “half dose” of something to calm me down, but I didn’t really feel much.
Getting in, it was all about the prepping going on around me. Doctors, nurses, residents, etc. all doing their thing. I had these compression-type wraps put on my legs that would squeeze every so often to prevent blood clotting. IV was on the top of my left arm (so much tape and adhesive I now have a few bald spots from arm hair being ripped - I’m a guy if that helps). I had white circles placed on the front of my chest and top of my shoulders which I believe tracked my pulse and such (also took hair when removed).
Everyone was nice, but there was definitely an efficiency and routine to the whole setup. My type of surgery is done regularly in that part of the hospital, so it’s nothing new for them.
When it came time to go under, I was given the “other half” of the sedating drug (not sure on the name) and an air mask was held over my face. I was told to keep breathing in deeply. I did it for like 2-3 minutes before a doctor told the guy holding my mask to “increase it, you’re a bit low”. Maybe that was nitrous? As they were doing that, my arms were being strapped down and I joked if I needed a safe word since this is my first time using straps. They said sure, pick one. Before I could say “pineapples” I was waking up in the post-op area.
Everything was very bright and I was definitely groggy, so I just closed my eyes and let myself come back to reality. The right eye was covered in bandages and a head wrap with sutures just dangling from the inside corner of my eye - that was super weird and caught on the bandage frequently. Eventually I could use my left eye without squinting too much. I was given ice chips and tissues to clear my mouth out from the gunk buildup. Movement was pretty limited with the IV still there and not being able to move my eyes much.
It took about 2 hours before my mom was let in (she was the +1), then another 30 minutes or so for the surgeon to come in to wash my right eye of blood and adjust the sutures. That was a 3x process which wasn’t painful, but really uncomfortable. I’d look at a light, they’d measure the eye movement between left and right, then lay me back and tighten the suture. Rinse and repeat until the doc was confident. Another 1.5 hours or so and I was able to leave.
Not sure if it’s normal but I’d say I was coherent and ready to wear normal clothes by the 1.5 hour mark after surgery. By the end, I could move, change clothes, talk, everything, but hospital policy was to wheel me out. If you want to know about recovery after, I’d be happy to share - I’m on day 4 now.
I spent way too much time yesterday playing Blackice. It’s a FPS game in a tron-like world. Graphics are in line with the colors and blocky edges. It’s not a super deep game, but it’s really cool when all the colors are splashing around and monster/programs are everywhere. It’s an indie built by I think just 2 guys. Plenty to explore, unique items and modifiers.
I’ve owen it for a bit, but noticed there were a few updates so I installed it again.
Also, Division 2 and Battlebit. There’s a trend.
I’m not sure to be honest, it’s been awhile. Definitely slower than on my PC, but it was never long enough that I got frustrated. I was usually entering dungeons around the same time as other players. Not like it took long enough to load they already started running ahead without the healer.
