Mechwarrior 5 mercenaries with mods that add lots of lore-accurate content and additional equipment/loadout options.
I'm just starting to get some of the bigger mechs, and the carnage is epic and loads of fun. The short missions are also great for me as a busy father.
I second that opinion. It seemed shallow and easy at the beginning, but turned out to be a really entertaining and challenging game. I also love how the characters age, develop, and eventually retire.
I wish. Just an overworked TTRPG-Obsessed father. I'm currently playing a gnoll, so I tend to look at real world problems through the lens of a big hairy dude.
I hate mosquitoes too, but why do we keep insisting on changing/eliminating other creatures to suit us? Let's modify OURSELVES to smell like citronella, or better yet, let's make ourselves grow a thick coat of luscious, too-thick-for -mosquitoes fur! That should be relatively easy, and it would come with other benefits too.
Unless it is not.
I'm truly happy for you if is that easy for you, but addiction of any sort can be a bitch, and it's not just a matter of willpower.
No worries, bazzite has you covered there too.
This is already being done in Europe to an extent. It is doable, but it requires a shift in thinking and more investment as well as planning. It's not really about getting rid of plastic. Just single-use plastic.
I can second bazzite. It. Just. Works. But it is built differently from the distros that everyone has heard of like arch & Ubuntu, so it's best to read up on how to install non-flatpak programs.
Keep in mind that steam can run Windows programs for you with it's emulation layer. It's not the only option, but it is convenient as an app launcher.
Just a suggestion for a free web-based VTT, owlbear rodeo is super simple to learn, and quite flexible.
I haven't tried it out on mobile, but I'd bet it's worth a try.
