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 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.

Good point!

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.

No worries, bazzite has you covered there too.

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.
