  • Most recently the pain in the ass games have been AoE4, and BeamMP. AoE4 crashes in muliplayer, there is a patch for that crash on protondb, but it seems I’m also impacted by an AMD related bug that happens intermittently and will restart X at a random times specifically due to playing AoE4. Tried various kernels and video cards, still crashes.

    BeamMP, looks like a lot of people have this issue, some have been able to resolve it.

    Civ6 used to have stability issues, the Linux client is a joke, I use the proton version because it’s more stable.




  • Ummm, I say that because I’m the friend in the friend group where the games don’t work sometimes, and I’m not going to pretend like that isn’t the case simply because I’m a FOSS advocate.

    I own a steam deck, I have decades of experience with Linux as a Desktop, server, and even some years doing game development, so it’s not for a lack of effort.

    It’s undoubtedly a fact that some mainstream games don’t work at all, or well enough that you’ll play seamlessly with your windows friends. Even protondb admits hundreds of outright borked games. Being dishonest about this does more harm than good.

    It’s amazing what Steam, Valve, AMD, etc, have done recently for Linux gaming, but it’s not the YotLD yet.









  • Some things to consider

    1. Budget
    2. Portable or Desktop
    3. Battery operated or analog (using Torch or Induction Heater)
    4. Ripper (on-demand) or sipper (session)?
    5. Convection / Conduction / Hybrid

    For battery powered:

    Tinymight 2 is my current favorite vape for its size, speed, power, ecosystem. I can use it with my water pipe and rip it like a bong, or hit it dry through a j hook, etc. There is a very small learning curve.

    Mighty+ is a good session vape that is consistent and reliable. There is no learning curve. You need to be ready to commit to 3 minute session of slowly sipping on it. It is a great vape as a session vape, but if you’re looking to take a hit or two do stuff for a few hours and repeat, TM2 all the way. It’s large, but that’s because it has 2 batteries and a screen. The crafty+ is the little sibling with one battery, no screen.

    POTV Xmax v3 is okay for the price point, but if you spend a little more, you can get a better class vape. This sits in my drawer, but I might take it out for biking because i don’t care if it breaks.

    Dynavap is worth a mention as a cheap analog vape that can make huge clouds. There is also a huge ecosystem for it, and it’s interoperable with some other vapes ecosystems.

  • Glad you found it helpful. It has been life changing for me, coming from street weed where getting desired effects was a roll of the dice.

    Keywords dispensaries might use to market strains that might help you narrow your search: Energetic, Focus, Creative, Uplifting.

    Depending on your location, availability and staff capabilities to assist you may be limited. CBG products are gaining popularity, and flower containing CBDv or THCv may be available but THCv dominate products will probably be less available.

    You might have better luck trying CBD vendors. If you are capable and interested, homegrowing is an option. THCv dominate seeds are readily available online (take local laws into consideration).

    CBDv when heated becomes THCv.

    Another fun fact is CBG is known the “mother of all cannabinoids”. It breaks down into all other cannabinoids.

    I’ve done extensive bro science research on this.

    Strains heavy in these cannabinoids help me manage ADHD: THCv, CBG, CBDv. They have stimulant-like effects, for ADHD and for me, this translates to clarity and focus.

    Too much THC without any CBD or other C noid and you will probably be too high/anxious/paranoid to function properly.

    THC dominate strains that stand out to me, Durban Poison, Girl Scout Cookies, Skunk #1, White Widow

    If the lineage is Diesel or Haze related, there is a good chance it will help me medicate for ADHD symptoms. Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, Trainwreck, Pineapple Express.

    Super boof is great too. Not all of these are necessarily high in THCv, terpenes also influence the direction of the high.

    Many popular strains have been cross bred so much they are all hybrids which lean one direction or another. Most strains I medicate with are leaning sativa effects. 100% land-race sativas are also great. However, do not ignore indica-dominate strains based on “in-da-couch” rhetoric. Cali Raisin is an example of an Indica with Sativa effects that I adore.

    Terpenes I found helpful for ADHD: Limonene, Terpinoline, Caryophyellene, Pinene, Linalool. Which loosely translates into citrus, spice and flowers, clove and spice, pine and earth, lavender.

    There are THCv and CBDv dominant strains to look out for. You do lack the entourage effect with these, but they can be great mixers.
