Just sharing, I saw a let’s play of the game and it looked cool. The concept of an MMORPG management also sounds fun (there is MMORPG Tycoon 2, but development is going at a glacial pace).
You can adjust a lot of stuff now. And there are also mods that let you adjust even more. You can make it so death is just a minor inconvenience that just sends you back to spawn, keeping everything, including your XP, if you wanted.
I usually turn down the greydwarf spawns, double the drop rate of everything, and enable using portals while holding metal along with removing the death punishments. Only adjusting the mob spawns requires a mod.
Some of them can be changed in an already made world, but others can only be set at world generation. If it’s been long enough, you might have to generate a new one to get new biomes and such to appear anyway.
Keep in mind your character can be separate from your world so you could have all your gear and levels in a fresh new world, too.
Dang of everything you just said turning down greydwarfs sounds amaaaaazing.
Other major inconvenience is definitely metals through portals, but I’m not sure if I’d click that one off. It is really annoying to constantly be running through biomes that I have no interest in grinding just for giggles, but part of me wonders if that’s part of the charm.
Perfect parries no longer using stamina is big. Most of Valheim's combat has been trying to get out of the way from attacks but now it sounds like you can tank hits with the right timing.
I’ve been advocating for Linux for a long time. At least to people I know use nothing but the web browser. Gaming and art have been a slow grind. Gaming Steam Deck was the game changer for single player gamers.
Art, it’s people that never use software close to their fullest but feel like they have to use what their favorite YouTuber/social media personality uses. Professionals I never encourage a switch unless they’re paid too. Already stressed doing edits in the software they know to make a deadline let alone adding in learning new software
Hobbyist and aspiring indies, you don’t work with a team of a dozen editors, try Kdenlive. Solo music artist, try ardour especially if you don’t even plan to drop your day job for a full time pursuit of a music career. At least practically every hobbyist I’ve met that focuses on digital drawing/painting uses Krita
I can’t replace the battery easily, or any component in a Surface. Microsoft products get the worst repair score from iFixit. I’ve been wanting a Framework as my daily driver for a while now so I can make repairs as I need them over time (or even make upgrades in the case of the 17" product).
I don’t think I’ll get rid of the laptop tho. Can probably add Linux to it and use it as a server. Right now though, I don’t have the time for that. I want something out of the box that will work play-and-play
I am figuring on switching once Arch Desktop SteamOS is officially released. I want Linux’s privacy, without technical irritations and official support from an 800-lb gorilla.
My issue is that one might be alone on their obscure distro. I tried out Bazzite, but hit a fair number of issues getting stuff to run and my UI to look how I wanted. It contains many emulation layers to run packages made for other distros, but if they don’t quite work out of box, you can’t just look up the tutorial commands built for the other platforms.
My next go might be something popular like Mint or Ubuntu just to make issue searches easier.
I’d absolutely prefer getting away from the command line, but no distro I’ve tried has fulfilled that promise; there’s always something I’d like a certain way where there’s no intuitive UI to make that setting change.
I’m just knowledgable enough it doesn’t scare me off, it just annoys me.
Not quite enough for me, personally. I am somewhere between casual and power user, so a “normie” distribution like SteamOS is probably where I want to be. Tried out Mint, but there was teething issues when I tried to customize my game install locations and whatnot. Lutris, Heroic, and so forth all had issues at that time, several months ago.
I play lots of indie and Japanese games, so having stuff reliably work without diving into a terminal is important for me.
I’m still a windows guy unfortunately, but I’m getting very excited about the adoption of Linux lately. I think steam OS has been huge for Linux adoption, as many gamers are probably willing to make the switch but only if they can keep gaming without having to use wine or something. I personally run windows only because I have no time in my life to play with computer stuff and just want it to work for me in the hour or two I get in a week max to game, and it seems like we’re just about there. I think my next build will be Linux based at this rate! When I had more time to faff about with crap (a couple years ago) I ran Linux a lot but it just required too much intervention to make things work and nowadays I’m far to busy to spend my precious time ironing out headaches.
I was you until about 3 months ago when I discovered Microsoft sells cloud services to the IDF. Political motivations aside, I would encourage you to try out a KDE plasma linux distro. It’s laid out pretty much exactly the same as windows 10 and bazzite worked for me out of the box even with a relatively rare gaming laptop build.
I appreciate the advice! I’ll try that distro next. I’m hoping after this winter I’ll have more time to mess around with my PC. I have a bunch of old parts (fx6300, 750ti) from a gaming PC from decade or more ago that I plan on setting up in my garage for reading PDFs looking at wiring diagrams playing music etc. That will certainly be a Linux build and if I like it on there might put it on my zen3 rig. Currently reading diagrams off my 15 in laptop screen in my garage, will be much nicer with a desktop hooked up to a monitor and a spare TV I have kicking around.
