  • I prefer Linux as a OS, so I’m really happy that I can play games that aren’t supported by devs. And it has benefits - since Linux is a better OS by a mile some games work better on it. For example Valheim on Windows is unplayable for me since it shuts down my computer after 5 - 20 mins, while on Linux it runs without problems and has smaller FPS drops in my gigantic castle. Maybe it’s a bad example since it has support for Linux, but Ravenswatch doesn’t and also has better performance on Linux through Proton.


  • Yep, even if the game is Windows only and you’re a Linux guy, you go into the Steam properties/settings for that game, click on the Compatibility tab, and then check the “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”. Chances are the game will work fine, but if it doesn’t you can try some other version of Proton. Alternatively, there is also Wine but I didn’t touch it yet and heard it’s a pain in the a**




  • I’d argue that Minecraft and Stardew Valley do visually look good. Looking good doesn’t mean that it has to look like a AAA game with realistic graphics. Very old games like Super Mario Bros 3 look great even today. Pixel art games if done with care look fantastic. What I didn’t like about this game when looking at the trailer on Steam is that the world looks barren - specifically, look at the 35s mark on their Steam video. I see that there are some other visually appealing scenes in the trailer, but some scenes just look unfinished. I agree I was a bit harsh, but the couple of close-ups in the trailer left a really bad impression on me.





  • Sounds like your doing a good job.

    You can try different exercises for the same muscle to see which ones target the specific muscle the most if that’s what your into. On the other hand it’s good to do exercises that actually involve multiple muscles so that everything grows bit by bit simultaneously. That’s the bast case scenario IMO. Machines that work out a single muscle are nonsensical for 99% of people. Ok, if your a world class tennis player, you need extra strong specific hand muscles, but most of us aren’t so we don’t.

    And it’s true what you say, sometimes a muscle starts hurting like hell two days after the actual workout so you think you didn’t do a good job when all of a sudden you have trouble sitting down 😄


  • Without going into the specific program you use because I’m not familiar with it, I’d say the most important thing is good technique and posture. All exercises’ are much easier if you don’t do them correctly (other muscles start helping out). So don’t pump reps like crazy. Do it a little slower but be mindful about the muscles that should be working out. And if you have correct technique all of the sudden it becomes much harder because intended muscles are activated.

    Look on youtube for how to do workouts correctly and WRITE IT DOWN because you’ll forget. And before every exercise remind yourself about the correct posture.
