  • A couple of my favourites :

    • Days Gone
    • Metro Exodus (I would recommend you play the 2 previous games before to understand the story. They are linear, so if you do not like that, simply watch a playthrough of both of them. BUT. I highly recommend you play and experience the atmosphere of the first 2 games, just my opinion)
    • Older Assassin’s creeds (BF, Unity, Creed, Brotherhood, etc)
    • Witcher 3
    • FFXV
    • No Man’s Sky
    • Need for Speed Unbound/Heat (which ever one is cheaper, I prefer unbound, but they are pretty similar.)

    And, if you have a good computer that can emulate switch games, I would highly recommend BOTW and TOTK as you’ve mentioned in the post. The best open world games there are.



  • https://esc.sh/projects/devops-from-scratch/ is a good resource. Most questions you have (that are more specific) are easily searchable on the internet.

    ways to safely connect to home servers over the internet while away

    A couple methods include :

    • Installing Wireguard on the host machine
    • Reverse-proxying with a VPS
    • Cloudflare zero-trust tunnel

    when it may be better to spin up services on a VPS instead

    Most services you probably won’t need a VPS to do, but off the top of my head a couple services which would be better hosted (not saying self-hosting them on your own hardware is bad) would be services which proxy a service. Example SearxNG, Invidious, Proxitok, etc. This is so that traffic can be shared among multiple users, and not linked back to your home IP.

    Hey man, I’m not a professional at all, but maybe you should stay off social media for a bit (1-2 weeks) and just enjoy life without worrying about the climate, politics, news, etc. They heavily impacted my mental health, but once I took a good long break, started working out more, went on hikes on occasion, went outside and read in the nature, etc. You can also go and hang out with friends / partner more often (if you do not already live with them)

    Social media itself is a constant negative loop (for better or for worse) and you need breaks sometimes. Hope you can get out of this hell hole, my friend.


  • Not really, it’s just becoming way more popular. I’ve seen (been recommended) 25+ videos all on the steam deck this month alone. There’s a shit ton more compatibility with games, custom OSs, etc, which also adds to the numbers. It’s literally the Nintendo switch, but 100x better + it can play switch games too.

    It’s 100% fair of you to be suspicious of these crazy increases, but you have to keep in mind it’s literally the only good and affordable option in this type of gaming. Sure, you have Nintendo switch, but it has ass performance on a lot of 1st party games (TOTK 20fps in some areas…). The steam deck is also easily fixable (diy repairs such as a battery replacement) and easy to maintain. The switch, on the other hand, is almost like apple with their “right to repair” stuff, and you cannot upgrade the inner components (like ssd, battery, etc) - only by adding a micro SD card can the storage increase… To each their own.
