For games, you’d rather use game repacks as they sometime provide smaller package for downloading. The most common one are dodi, fitgirls, though other repacker like el amigos, KaOs krew, Mr Dj also available. If you don’t mind ddl, cs-rin.ru and torrminatorr also available.

Avoid IGG-Games they have shady history in case you use public tracker.

remember rtfm! Megathread, wiki, fmhy are available so you can browse easier as provided by the community.

Nexus mods isn’t shady, they inform user regarding data breach. They provide mods and have been serving mods ever since pre 2010 I believe (registered myself on that site back in 2014 ish).

Maybe slightly off-topic, I recommend to use Viva New Vegas guide as based on my testing the game is more stable and suitable base for modding up your New Vegas install, however also check out every mods you are going to install especially older mods pre-2018 (for me) as they sometime aren’t optimized which may makes unstable issue with the game. Hope you enjoy the New Vegas!

Keycaps is where I always avoid because that’s what makes keyboard standout other than the overall produced sound.

Still saving for my keycaps sets

They def pricier on chassis, plate (foam too!) and ready-to-use designed pcb with components. However from my own experience building your own keyboard is fun especially when the result is as good as you expected from planning stage. Pure bliss.

Hello fellow 2hu youkai

Especially when they have luxury of lubed switches, foam, dampeners/stabilizers, custom case material (that keeb def. Custom one).

As someone that into mech keyboard hobby, I can say that’s still perceivable for average user as you still retain the familiar “qwerty” layout.

Look up stenograph keyboard. They have lesser keys but allows someone to write higher wpm and programmable though I don’t think they would fit for office environment.

Nice idea but unfortunately good luck convincing everyone to collaborate into single super-game and integrate each “X simulator” as DLC assuming everyone also adhere guideline and consistent

From my experience, I can install several repack without any issues on my Mint install (using wine). If you overwhelmed, the easiest way is to add the .exe of your game as non-steam game through the steam and the proton will handle the rest assuming you won’t find dependency issues, if you stumble across problem try to search protondb for solution.

Personally I run my games with wine because I couldn’t figure out how to make use of bottles and lutris (ye I’m weird).

EDIT: Also you can run your modded games on Linux, so far I have tried modded nfs mw (2005) with hard+, underground2, and new vegas, they are works like on Windows.

If shit happen, rtfm. gl op on your journey!

The key is the “density”, activities and (player) engagements. I find it funny RGG is probably one of developers that can get away reusing assets so much that even can be traced back to ps2 assets on their newer games.

Woah, thanks for dropping the link. I did disable w10 update by modifying registry for each services which time consuming.

They don’t want to miss out the “hype” but also Valve deem the hardware jump is not that much to consider “Deck 2”. If only these manufacturer also consider bringing software optimization rather than keep producing portable handheld with small performance jump.
