I feel with you but I think it also brought some benefits. Finding time to meet up with my friends has become harder and harder with everyone growing up, studying, getting jobs.

The influx of people during covid catapulted the virtual tabletop solutions ahead and now we regularly play again using foundry vtt since everyone can just sit at home.

But yeah, online everyone just talks about DnD or Critical Roll it feels like and unless you're on reddit there's very few communities left.

I've played Deus Ex (and the revision mod) and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on Linux without issue. If you're playing steam games it's basically just install and play. Especially for old games.

There's a website called protondb.com you can check for compatibility. Gaming on Linux is so good now though, I don't even check anymore before buying games.

Word of warning though. While modding games running through wine/proton is possible, mod managers don't usually work or are tedious to set up. I don't mod too much so I usually just manually install or stick with steam workshop mods.

The problem is really down to finding places where you can actually build something like a hydroelectric power plant.

You need a large area you can safely flood. (No villages in the area or only villages you can buy out the owners of) or a high up lake.

The area to flood needs to have the geology required to construct a dam safely.

And finally, the area needs to be pretty high up and have an area below you can direct the outgoing water to.

A shocking amount of microcontroller manufacturers have eclipse based IDEs for their chips. Thought that seems to be going out of style, luckily.

I was actually offered a Bachelor thesis topic by a company to write a test bench for a product in LabView.

From what they told me and my other engineering experience I'd suggest going with an approach similar to what's used with HDLs. For unit tests create test benches in the language itself which call the functions you want to test with a predefined input (e.g. from a file) and then analyse and save the output.

You can extend this to obtaining other information as well, but tbh I'll bet it's still gonna be a pain.

Hope that helps at least a little.

Us Germans are extra thorough. We wish both, breaking neck and leg.

Runescape/Old school runescape

Been playing since 2009. Sure I've taken breaks, sometimes multiple years, but I always return.

The old saying is true, "You never quit runescape, you just take breaks"

Thanks for putting it into relation to daily use. 200,000 is not realistic though. Just had a google and found this source citing up to 400 metric Tons/day

12 is 0.6% of 200,000 btw

Melvor Idle is a great call. The base game is a solid idle game and there's a load of mods too.

I did a HCCO12B (Hardcore combat only, 12 bank slots only) run when the game first released.

Reinstalled the game yesterday and started another HCCO run using the new mod, it adds some QoL and tweaks.

My only negative about it is that when playing normally, I always feel like there's a perfect/optimal strategy and I should figure it out before playing.

My Harman Kardon pc speakers. They are as old as I am. Here's a pic of the same model I found online.

There are other alternatives too, like invidious. The yewtu.be instance works decently well for me but limits to 720p I think. There is a list of all running instances somewhere on the github iirc. There's other instances that allow full HD, just have a search and you should be able to find one.

Up until recently I was using a gtx 1060 just fine. Not sure about the high end ray tracing stuff though.

I'd say give it a try, I had a great experience. Never had any proton issues with an nvidia card my self. Just keep in mind nvidia drivers on Linux are notorious for being bad. If you choose an LTS distro or one that packages the drivers you'll be fine though. Pop!_OS LTS with the nvidia drivers is what I ran.
