My initial impression was it was a mediocre buggy cyberpunk RPG. I enjoyed it alright at release but it didn't feel like it was worth the cost.
Now in it's current state I thouroughly enjoy it. Sure it still has some bugs and jank, but it's far more polished than release. Like you said, the gunplay/cybernetics and different approaches to the missions are what make it so fun for me. Though I can understand why people are mad at what was effectively a rug pull at release. As someone that went into it with no expectations I'm happy with it's current state and it sits next to Deus Ex: Human Revolution in my brain.

I tried a lot of distros over the last couple years and every one had some weird pain points in what i wanted to do or stuff would take more time to setup than what felt worth it. Pop_OS and Mint were two I tried most recently since this is a gaming machine and those get recommended as "just works" for games, bur neither one was doing it for me. I ended up downloading Kubuntu just because I wanted to try KDE 6. I've run Debian on my home server for a decade so I'll always be biased towards anything built on it. I ended up loving the new plasma desktop in Kubuntu and it has been the easiest distro to just play games on. One command to install the nvidia drivers and pretty much everything just works.
Related, does anyone know why there is so much vitriol towards Ubuntu users in certain communities? I've pretty much never paid attention to linux discussions online. It's crazy how frequently I've asked about stuff in different discords and people suddenly don't want to help if i mention I'm using a Ubuntu distro.

Once i learned about Caddy i moved my site to that and it's hard to make excuses for not using SSL when it's done entirely automatic.

Now it runs Debian (ancient GPU woes) and is still functioning as a solid work laptop when I travel to this day. The expectation that laptops only last ~5 years really bothers me for some reason.

My family has always made tea from it's stems and leaves to help recovering from colds or similar minor sickness with some degree of success. The dried leaves are essentially just oregano. I suppose they are asking for contributions so maybe I could at least add this.

I've played the closed beta some and it's very much the same combat and mining as the original, but there's a bunch of new enemy types and objectives in a more linear cave structure. Completing those objectives and bonus interactions reward perks in traditional roguelite fashion. It seems pretty cool, even if the closed beta felt pretty bare bones. I'm hoping they've been holding a lot back from what we'll see in a public release.

The desktop performance and default file browser really highlighted to me how bad the user experience of windows has lagged behind. Wine/proton has gotten good enough that most windows apps I really care about generally just work.
The only thing I really miss from windows is Playnite but from what I've seen the dev is switching to linux themselves this year and rebuilding the Playnite UI with Avalonia.

Squirrel and rabbit is pretty similar as just a slightly tough, sometimes gamey meat that we fried as a chicken substitute. Raccoon is a darker meat with a strong almost tangy taste. I think I just attributed that to their size rather than diet lol. I can't really remember what oppossum tastes like since it was usually just cooked into soups and it's been 10+ years since I've had it.
Wild caught frogs are the only thing I can compare to a farm raised equivalent. I generally avoid frog legs at resturaunts and grocery stores. They almost all have a very strong metallic taste that the wild ones had much less noticably.
Despite deer being pretty common at stores and butchers around me I've only ever had what my family hunts and keeps in bulk in deep freezers. So i can't really say how it compares.
I sure didn't think I'd be talking about my childhood of eating wild animals on tildes today.
I didn't realize they block VPNs now. I never connect to the internet on my desktop without a VPN and Reddit still works fine for the few things I go there for. Maybe it's because I'm still logged in?
