I've used both of those mods and they're great. These days I use a pre-built modpack like "fabulously optimized" to update and include all the mods for me. (there are tons of similar packs like this). Those can still play on vanilla servers.

Avoid the "steam deck" modpacks, as many of them are abandoned or straight up don't run at all. Stick to the very popular, well-tested packs if you do use a modpack at all. Even if they aren't branded with some sort of "works on steam deck" note. They will probably still work.

And of course, +1 for prism. It's the only recommendable option for steam deck or standard PC play these days.

He got mad at me and much of his community over concerns about decisions he was making for "block game". We stated our concerns kindly and politely, and he got mad and deleted an entire discord channel because we didn't agree with him and made good points that he couldn't refute. I lost all respect for him after that.

Well I get the analogy, but also I think they didn't use pencils because of the graphite and complications with filtering air or something.

Me unbinding the mysterious functions that share the key "I'll worry about that once I know what that even means"

The mark of a good game.

This game is actually great. I played through fully twice, it's rather short. Highly recommend if you like digging a hole and upgrading your hole digging ability.

Obsidian with self hosted live sync is what I switched to and found it's actually better.

When I was a young warthog, I needed my first username. I thought to myself "what's cool, that I can base my name on?" "Gansters are cool!" "How about Al Capone? He's cool. He is even a good person. He invented milk expiration dates or something like that." "But I can't just have that name, I have to make it cooler. I'll write it using l337 speak."

Thus, my username "alkpwn" (plus some numbers because it was taken on Xbox live) was born.

Quickly, I realized people didn't always understand it. They would have trouble pronouncing it when they saw it in halo 2. From "Al capn" to "Alk pawn", I got all sorts of pronunciations.

My friends ended up just shortening it to Alk. And here we are.

 

It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I will implement my favorite idea without fail.

It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)

I've had the opposite experience. It all "just worked". Try running unraid. It makes a lot of it so much easier.
