I decided to tackle VR on Linux again since the last time I did it was two years ago and it's one of the things keeping me on dual boot. But honestly I'm not too well versed on the latest tools to do so. My current knowledge is that:

• ALVR is used for non-SteamVR native headsets
• using NVIDIA GPUs gives lackluster results unless you're on the Turing architecture
• the SteamVR dashboard is held together by hopes and dreams
• desktop view doesn't work, not even on X11 + a bog standard DE installation
• I read somewhere that the default SteamVR version on Linux is older than on Windows and you need to use a beta branch?

but other than that, not much. How do you run VR on linux these days? I'm running a Quest 2 with Arch, a Ryzen 7800x3d and an RTX 4060 on my PC

Out of curiosity I pirated and older version of YNAB4 (budgeting app) and looked at how much I saved by pirating content. This was looking at each TV show I watch, then looking up how much that network cost for a subscription then entering it into a dummy sheet. I did the same with movies (say once per week) and it added up to $160-210 per month! Using closer to the lower middle of that number that would be over $2000 per year, holy moly.

Title. A particular game Ive been looking for for ages is dead in torrents/dl. Now its sequel is also out.

I found old reddit forums where you could request such games, but theyve been dead for 2+ years.

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

So I'm not sure if this is age related or not. I'm a 21 year old male, maybe you could share your age as well.

So basically for a long time (probably my whole life) I had this deep longing/fantasy to live at a different place than the one I'm living right now. As if I don't belong where I'm from and need to be somewhere else to truly feel home. I'm from northern Germany and always had the deep desire of traveling places.

When me and my family went on vacation when I was a kid for example when we flew to Egypt it felt like a wonderful dream as if I was in heaven or something. I just love when I'm in totally different environments like coming from the cold Germany into a tropically warm climate, in a country that is very different, with very different culture and mentality in this beautiful and gigantic hotel resort.

Idk how to describe it but it's like my core desire got fulfilled.

I never felt home here in Germany and my deep desire always was to live somewhere else where there is a very different culture and environment.

A significant amount of time I always wanted to go to America. I've never been there so far unfortunately.

But I always had this feeling that I didn't felt right where I'm from and was always searching for this place where I can feel home, where it's wholesome and I feel freed from all worries, where I have deep/meaningful connections and can fully live in joy and embrace every little moment of life in this deeply joyful way like living like a child again.

I assume a lot of this is probably just some psychological phenomenon that is inducing a fake/unreal fantasy. I assume even if I could move to some other country I might not feel as joyful like when I was a kid and even if I do, at some point it might not feel special anymore and it might not be like I hoped.

So maybe this is just this classic "the grass seems always greener on the other side" thing and in reality it might not be like that.

But I wonder does any of you also have this deep inner fantasy of living in a different place/culture where it kinda feels magical to live and you have ultimate happiness? It might be something unrealistic or a place that doesn't exist but it's like a deep feeling in me and I wonder if others also have it. Maybe it goes deeper and it is this "leftover" from childhood that I remember and that I'm longing for? Maybe it's a fantasy of being a kid again?
