IIRC, I stuck with longer guns like rifles and machine guns in Fallout 4, and in Cyberpunk I focused on shotguns. I'm thinking I might try pistols to mix it up, stealth sniping, ooor maybe shotguns again and those multi-bullet laser targeted weapons that I can't remember the name of now.

awe, I hope that's not the final loading screen. I'll miss twiddling the 3D models around!

They certainly made it look pretty fun in the direct! Hopefully it gets a good chain of perks through the skill tree, but if not I'm sure there will be perk overhauls and other mods to help flesh it out.

I definitely want something as sleek and "fast" looking as I can make it - I always liked the really long nose fighters in No Man's Sky, so something similar maybe. Cargo ships will be an opportunity to explore the other side too, with less clean lines and more of a "junky hauler" feel.

I’ve never had a paper-drawer notecard system, but one is described in the book The Mixed-Up Files of Ms Basil E Frankweiler and I’ve always sort of aspired to that. The way you organize alphabetically has those kinds of paper file / encyclopedia vibes to me!

I started my wiki in TiddlyWiki, which by default means links and search were the only way to find notes. When I moved to Obsidian, I tried sorting everything into PARA-style folders, but… it’s way too much maintenance to mess about sorting everything so I’ve quit caring. I operate exclusively through links and search.

Everything is still in the folders but going back to a mostly-flat folder structure is on my to-do list. Since I’m already not using them to navigate my notes, though, I’m not in too big a hurry.

We eat yogurt marinated chicken breast pieces cooked on a frying pan with curry sauce, alongside rice-cooker steamed veggies. We usually get 6 lbs of chicken, chop and marinate in an evening, then eat that for ~4-5 days; also keep on hand things like pasta and frozen meatballs for the days where we’ve run out of chicken but haven’t shopped yet. We allow ourselves to order food once or twice a month but no more; this usually happens on days where we’ve run out of chicken.

That both of us are totally cool with eating the same thing for months on end really helps cut down on cooking time. 😅

I have a separate folder in my vault called “mobile-sync” and set up Resilio Sync on my NAS + iPhone to sync just that folder. 90% of the time I’m on my phone and want to interact with my vault it’s because I want to jot down thoughts, so I use 1Writer hooked up to the sync folder to write the note, then open Resilio Sync to sync it. Due to the iOS stuff it won’t sync in the background, but the “create note -> sync it” workflow is ok for my needs.

Any chance you could put together a mini-example vault to help troubleshoot on?

What font are you using for the clock/taskbar? Looks nice! I’ll have to poke around KDE for that taskbar too, it automatically gave me the icon only version and idk if I like it.

I’d think about it at a high level and then get more granular. What are your favorite riced screenshots? What parts of them particularly appeal to you? On the other hand, are there things about your setup that bother you? Then, take what you like and don’t like and let that guide you in customization.

I am pretty opinionated, so I care about changing little things. Examples of little things I tweaked when installing KDE recently:

• made the digital clock display on one line instead of two
• removed blur from lockscreen
• hid user info + switch user options from lockscreen

For me the rest of the visual adjustments came from picking color schemes, fonts, icons, and wallpapers I like.

Are you interested in slightly more fantastical yet still clandestine agencies? You can’t go wrong with Robin Sloan’s Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore! Erin Morgenstern’s The Starless Sea also gives me these vibes but it’s less heavy on the secret society bits.
