Okay, Challenge #1 wird schon mal klappen.
#itjustworks #linux #gamedev

I have both and I WILL use them. 😄

Thousand Year Old Vampire is something I'll definitely take a look at. When you're journaling, are you guys writing? I'm not sure if that's something I can keep up for a long time. I mean, how much exhaustive (exhausting?) detail do I have to go in?
Maybe some kind of speech-to-text apps could help.

The Wretched is indeed something I have to try yet. That's one of those that use a card deck, right?
I'm all into unusual mechanics. Dice are fun, but there's so much more out there. Still have to try Dread with the whole Jenga tower thing. 😄

I tried 4AD already, and while I think that it might be a very good approximation of a regular dungeon crawl, I find myself gravitating towards more story-driven approaches.
I'm usually into PbtA and Rules Light systems because I feel that they give me just enough rules without constricting me.

Does anybody have experience with the medium of #SoloRPG?
I find it quite cumbersome to get a group together on the regular, but I still want to play and challenge my brain with improv and creativity.
I'm looking for something that's preferably #NotDnD and a somewhat lightweight #TTRPG.

Any ideas?

This would work for "lightweight" work like images in Photoshop. (it's still a RAM hog)
But rendering videos and motion design for example requires all of the resources.
In my case I'm thinking about some kind of virtualization with QEMU, which is supposed to allow for better performance.

True, especially with an LTSC license.

Damn that's crazy, anyways always and forever: fuck adobe & use something else

GitHub - ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer: A repository that helps users get affinity software working on GNU/Linux 🐧 A repository that helps users get affinity software working on GNU/Linux 🐧 - ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer

In that case, I can confirm that Affinity works.

And www.photopea.com is not bad either, even though it's browser-based.
GIMP still pretty much sucks sadly. And Krita is an option if you're into digital painting.

That's great to hear, I'm thinking about switching myself. But in my case that would mean dropping more than 10 years of knowhow in After Effects completely for an uncertain future. Again, a hard decision to make, if there's no open source alternative for certain workflows.

Yeah, but on the other hand it's fucking Windows 11.
Hard decision to make 😅

Yeah, it's probably a good time in general to switch up the software stack completely...
I'm thinking about going all-in on Linux. Which would mean losing After Effects. Hopefully DaVinci Fusion can be used for character animation.
I would recommend Synfig Studio to you, but tbh I really don't... 😅

That's basically how I do it... Don't know what that says about me.
