Yeah the original, i heard mods play a big role in keeping the original playable, not sure how accurate that is, but I’m excited to tinker and hopefully get it running

Do mods work on Linux? I haven’t played the older stalker games and I heard there is a big modding scene behind these games, wanting to try it out on my Linux rig

Precisely how I feel. I love playing something cooperative and I dislike when it’s some PVP fps game. Baldurs gate with some friends or divinity, the borderlands series is great coop fun too

If you aren’t already, you could get familiar with the vim motions within VSCode via a plugin. Moving over to a vim setup can be overwhelming, setting up your lsp,linters, other packages. Adding on the need to still learn key bindings makes it extra difficult. I started with VSCode using vim motions, went to doom emacs and used evil mode and then my mentor got me hooked on vim. Do it in steps and you’ll get to a config that lets you code without much fussing, good luck!
