I have been playing Tainted grail: Fall of Avalon and having a great time. They didn’t get the difficulty scaling as good as Gothic, but it’s fun to explore.

And bonking enemies with a two hander and watching them fly never gets old.

Took me almost 180 hours to complete, but i’m not rushing through games. Such a great world to explore, and some good improvements over Gothic 2.

I got around 10 hours in, but felt the resource gathering became a bit slow and tedious. Generally liked the rest of the game, maybe theres some mods to look at?

Personally i bought How Linux Works, 3rd Edition and Linux Pocket Guide.

Books that goes from the sytem architecture and from there gives you context for what you are trying to do. They work when your system won’t and you can write in them.

But you should learn in a way that feels good to you. Also, check out the forum for your distro and DE.

I played at least two demos, and the last one felt generally close to the original. It was however just the entrance bit. A few things were changed, like you can no longer jump straight up.

The original do work perfectly fine today for anyone that wants to experience the game.

Nah, that’s Spiderweb Software.

I built a pc tower for the first time since '01 or '02, and the first game i played was Cyberpunk 2077. A lovely game with some genuinley great characters. I really love Judy.

But that doesn’t hold a candle to Deus Ex, which i completed for the first time. What a great title. I must have played the first and part of the second level when it first came out, but the story was new to me.

Also shout out to Drova, a really fun game with tons of nods to the Gothic series. Difficult, but not punishing.

Cruelty Squad was so different. Looks like vaporware created in Duke3d engine, but plays like a modern shooter (kinda).

I replayed The Witcher 3 when i got sick earlier this year. Needed something that didn’t require too much thinking, and it worked for me.

These all have different types of content around coffee. A good place to start.

When they announced the pre-order bonus, it seems clear that this might not be a good day one purchase. Will probably give it a look some time, but i should replay Troikas version first.

Never played RDR 2 because of their abuse of workers, and wasn’t planning on playing GTA. Please support smaller teams instead.

How about Jack in the dark, the little game that shipped with the cd version of the two first Alone in the dark games?

I used this one for FNV, and could download mods straight from Nexus to mod organizer.

Worked very easy for me.

I loved Ports of Call on Amiga, it was a great hot seat game.

I have Fallout New Vegas loaded up with the Viva New Vegas modlist, playing as a cowboy with no points put into stealth and going into repair, guns, meele and explosives instead. It’s a bit harder than normal New Vegas, but so fun and comforting.

Har it for six months and no sign of wear. Seems like the same quality of plastic as the aeropress to me.

Don’t know how much of a difference it makes, but I like that it stops any leaks without requiring vakum.

I bought an Aeropress Flow cap for funsies, and that’s makes it easier to brew inverted.

If I have time I brew the 10 minute style of Lance Hendrics(?).

I have a Wilfa that can do everything from very coarse to espresso, but it ends up with only 2-3 stops that’s fine enough for espresso makmaking it not that useful really.

Buy one that is good for your needs today and worry about espresso when that happens as you’ll most likely end up getting a dedicated grinder for that anyway.

I just built my first computer since 2001 with Endeavour as OS, and bought Cyberpunk and Robocop from GOG.

Also just recently played through Drova and that’s the most fun I’ve had in a game recently. Not quite as good as Gothic 2, but well worth playing.

I do the organizing with categories/tags in game libraries that supports it; want to play, playing, beaten, given up, unbeatable.

I also have something similar in Playnite, though I don’t love that program.

I also love notebooks, I keep a notebook around for writing in during games, and I set up lists for each year with a column for bought games and one for played games. With this I can see what games I have played since 2016/17 or thereabout.

I love statistics, and seeing when and for how long I played a game is fun.
