Curiosity. It began while trying to play around with programming, and finding a lot of talk and resources about Linux, and then trying it. 3 broken Debian installations just for messing around, then Ubuntu as a more permanent install, all of this alongside Windows.

Then I began using less and less Windows until I just deleted the Windows partition because I needed more space.

It seems they consider themselves complimentary with OpenStreetMap, as stated on their FAQ https://overturemaps.org/resources/faq/#

Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.

I don’t know a lot about any of both projects, but it seems fair.

Mascarade, a board game. It’s a game of hidden indentities, where everyone can lie to try to get all the money and win the game. I’ve had A LOT of fun playing with as much as 10 people. The game can be played between 2 and 13 players, but less than 4 I think it’s not that worth.

Screencheat if you want a game to “pick up and play”. It’s a shooter with different modes where everyone is invisible and you must look at the other players split screen to deduce where they are and shoot them. It’s really fun to play!

I don’t like it. I play with a Steam Deck from my bed and the Wi-Fi connection is pretty bad from there. I easily loose connection every five minutes.

That means I can’t play any games that require constan online connection, which is a bummer.

The controls has been modernized, it feels like a game that launched this year, but everything else is completely faithful to the original. I’ve only tried the original briefly, but I’ve red from people who played both that you could basically follow a guide from 1994 and still be able to get through the remake.

Aside from that, they added a scrap system which you can collect junk, destroy it, and recycle it for coins which can be spent on weapon upgrades. I think that’s the only major addition in the gameplay itself, and it’s something that was already in a similar way for System Shock 2 with the nanites.

The remake of System Shock and Path of Exile, both on the Steam Deck. I’m enjoying gaming again with this beast :)

I’m having a ton of fun playing the remake of System Shock. Earlier I played Pentiment, which was amazing, and wasn’t able to get on other games until System Shock came out, which I must say that I’m having a blast with it.

When I finish System Shock, I’m planning on starting Deus Ex or something similar.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, because it’s stable enough while also beign a rolling release distribution. I wanted to remove the hassle of updating debian/ubuntu once in a while to jump through LTS versions.
