Nano/micro are great for people who need a terminal text editor but don't want to learn anything to use it.

If you do want to put some time into learning, it really doesn't take long to get to a point of base competency in emacs or vim -- less than an hour for sure to just be able to move around in the document and have a basic understanding of the editing controls.

Both are hugely deep systems that you can keep learning for years, but only at the pace that you need; most tasks can be accomplished pretty easily with a bunch of inputs, but there's usually a much faster way if you know the shortcuts.

As for the difference, vim is more modal -- you switch to editing mode, do some editing, then switch to typing mode and type. Most commands are one to three sequential button presses. For some more exotic functionality you use the command line to type a command, which has auto-complete.

On the other hand emacs is chorded, meaning you use multiple simultaneous keys to do functions, usually a modifier key like ctrl + something else. This gives you more direct power while actually typing, but IMO has a big steeper of a learning curve, and I just personally don't love the chorded inputs, I think they're more work to input than the sequences in vim. But either editor will give you unprecedented power over text with minimal fuss.

I personally use Helix, which is basically just a slightly different take on Vim, as well as taking inspiration from Kakoune which is another competitor. It's got really nice modern defaults and I like the way that Kakoune treats selections in contrast to Vim.

Have you tried running the game through Steam?

Yeah it's enough to make an appreciable difference in the right circumstances, but it's not going to miraculously take a rig from struggling to run a certain game to working smoothly.

Short answer: yes, a bit, but it's unlikely to make the difference if you already need a graphical environment to run games.

I do love this game and IMO it's the best of the -shock games (system & bio), at least for gameplay.

Another one I feel bad downvoting! It's not got the same gritty technopunk feeling as the Descent games, but gameplay and visuals are just as good if not better.

Yeah and many of them are using AI to do it.

Given your genre flexibility, there is nearly infinite music out there from well before the was any question about it being human-made. You could easily listen to songs you've never heard back to back for the rest of your life without coming close to running out of old music.

For modern stuff you've basically got to see video of them performing live to be sure.

Make sure it has at least a few inches of clearance at the back. Also many cases/PSUs have fans on the bottom, if yours does then raising it up on some feet can really help.

Good point, SUVs for everyone is the only truly enlightened path.

Try multiplying or raising to a power. Addition works too but is slower.

Sometimes videos take like 2-3 seconds to start playing. That's it.
