For the loooonnnnngest time, I had issues running VR on Linux. And for a few years when I started off (many years ago), most games wouldn’t run. Things have changed since then however. Now I’m finding all the desktop/handheld based games I want to play; I can just play. In addition, the issues I’ve constantly had with VR now have been alleviated (albeit with some manual tinkering).

Desktop games without anticheat will just work 99/100. VR takes some effort to work, but is worth it. VR on Linux still isn’t exactly perfect either. You sometimes press something in a game, the screen will freeze and you can see/feel it for sure. But, that happens maybe once every 10 mins or so, so it’s workable since all I use VR for is VRChat anyway.

Life’s good on Linux now. Besides college, I don’t think I’ll be needing to switch to Windows at all anymore. Oh, actually, now that I remember. I run World of Warcraft through bottles. Every so often WoW updates and kills functionality. I have to rebuild my Bottle, shift my files over and then it runs again, but that’s also outside of what Steam does, so.

Besides all of the above, I think I can stick full time to Linux now. It feels wonderful having an operating system that doesn’t own you anymore.

Few rough days recently, haven’t put much time into the Irish, but still going strong with Spanish and Japanese. Still blown back from that day for some odd reason. Getting on top of things again but need to rebuild the steam.

I do various other things in the day besides my languages, so I’m focusing more on studies that benefit college life over my Irish, despite that being the language I want to learn the most, (Japanese and Spanish have more use cases for me, however).

Proud of getting my maths streak up and running, not language related, but also more difficult to maintain (at least to me).

Edit: Also Rosetta Stone is sort of difficult to wade through with Irish, better than Duolingo, but the mandatory microphone tests drive me up the walls.

I use that, as well as Spirit City: Lofi Sessions: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2113850/Spirit_City_Lofi_Sessions/

I started off with this one, then maxed out achievements, then am on your one now and trying to max out achievements. On level 35/50 atm. Then will be heading back to Spirit City after, just because there’s more to unlock on that one.

Studied Japanese, Irish and Spanish for roughly 30 mins most days this week. Something happened to me yesterday so now I’m completely knackered and just want to give today a rest, but most likely won’t. I’ll be diving into it once I have my dinner.

Been using various study apps I found on Steam. They help keep me going.

I was very directionless and lost for many years. It’s only since my late 20’s and now 30’s where it feels like I’m actually making any headway through life. I still have a lot of catching up to do, but at least I’m moving now.

Yeah, it can be quite overwhelming at times. Realistically I’d be a lot less burnt out if I decided to stick with just one language. But I honestly can’t. I would study about 20 languages in a day if I had the time for it. So I have to settle with just the 3. Takes a lot of time out of my gaming/social life, but I think eventually when I can speak properly in all 3, I’ll have more time for language based immersion/socializing/gaming to the point it’ll eventually pay off. So I have that future goal I have set for myself. Going to be a great day when I can finally partake in discussions in all 3.

I study a variety of things, and as of late the motivation has come back to me. (I blame having covid for knocking the wind out of me though). Did roughly 30 mins Japanese, 20 mins Spanish and 15 mins Irish today. Really wanting to pump an hour into each eventually, but need to give it time.

On May 22nd I bought an app to help me study. So far it’s working. Been more motivated to do more since.
Also a spell of desire stems from my GF and friends being encouraging moreso than usual. Which is nice since I’ve been burnt out for the past few months.

Hoping to maintain a stable week of committing myself to all the tasks I laid out for myself. It’ll be neigh impossible, but I’m looking forward to at least attempting a full week of full commitment. Still haven’t peaked since lockdown when I was able to do absolute boatloads of work everyday, but getting there.

Studying, studying and more studying.
Then hanging out with the GF maybe.
Few rounds of Gunfire Reborn with the friendos.
More studying.
Oh and exercising!
Oh yeah, and tinkering with both Godot and Blender now too, so that’ll be fun. Trying a 11 hour tutorial series of Godot on Youtube by a creator called ClearCode. It’s amazing what YouTube tutorials you can get for free!
