I’m providing my experience trying to game with windows-based friends.

I have hundreds of games in steam. Some had poor or broken play with games Windows users play together without issues.

I think this community is a bit defensive. I have hundreds of games in my steam library that I play. A large number with multiplayer, I have had issues with my windows friends.

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.

We’re gonna act like Bronze doesn’t mean broken sometimes? Okay.

This is the sort of honest discourse we should be having in the community. The recent advances are nothing short of amazing, and I can play tons of great games with my windows friends, but there are some games, that left me, and sometimes them with terrible experiences.

Nothing like investing over an hour into a game with friends only to crash due to some Linux specific issue.

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.

Great, but I can still only realistically play a portion of my library with friends on Windows.

I doubt the teacher’s union has the resources of the church. Nor do they have the time-tested global systematic approach to abusing children, unless common core gotcha mad.

Also gerrymandering

Yes, Sour Diesel is a great strain. My only complaint is I get dry eyes and mouth from it (and many diesels).

This is a little more than bro science, which is what led me to these specific cannabinoids in the first place when comparing to my personal experiences.

https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05219370 (though canceled, shows interest in the cannabinoids for potential treatment).

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.

That’s how we reach singularity

Have you read your car’s manual cover to cover?

I hope you’re not responsible for designing products, because intuitive product design is important. Requiring a manual to understand a potentially life-saving feature of your vehicle, because the manufacturer chose form over function… listen to yourself.

Here’s another great solution: don’t let your car battery die (/s)

When someone is panicking, the nonstandard design will really shine.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted.

Teens can unwittingly purchase altnoid vapes from gas stations, smoke shops, instagram, and more.

Buying boof vapes poise a much higher risk than other fake “marijuanas”.

To anyone dabbling in that lifestyle, it is not worth it. Only trust legal dispensaries. On the black/grey markets, you could be inhaling heavy metals, solvents, toxins, and other things you shouldn’t be vaporizing into your lungs.

You only get one pair of lungs, take care of them, lung damage is permanent. Vaping unregulated oils can risk things such as, chest pain, chemical burns, diminished breathing, headaches, lipoid pneumonia, collapsed lung.

It is possible to buy both fake packaging, and prefilled vapes in fake packaging from China.

If that’s not an option, look into making your own distillate. It’s cheaper and cleaner, it tastes better, and you don’t support terrible practices.
