Games and mods are really the only reason I still put up with the BS, but that straw is gonna break eventually. I don't want to dual boot, but once SteamOS can play D2 that will probably be the day.

The only thing I'm really not sure on is mods. I tend to mod the fuck out of any game that supports it, and since mods are all written independtly, I'm worried many won't be written well enough to be functional outside of the environment they were MacGyvered in.

If by D2 you mean Destiny 2, then I recommend making the switch so you CAN'T play D2. As a former addict myself, I can tell you it doesn't have control your life. I know it doesn't seem like it now but there is a way out if you're open to it.

Sending thoughts and prayers ❤️

4k hours in and I finally realized it had become a second job. Stay strong out there, recovery is possible!

Now I'm playing a bunch of fun single player games that I missed out on because I was so sucked in.

Yes! It really was a second job! When it's good, it's REALLY good but it gets to the point where you're playing because you feel you have to, not because you want to. You're constantly grinding mindless crap so you'll be ready for that next content drop that hits as hard as the last thing you actually enjoyed over a year ago (spoiler alert: it won't).

I was lucky. I came to that realization at 1.1k hrs and it still took another 100 to quit. Afterwards, and I am dead serious about this, it took a bit more time before I could enjoy single player games I used to love again.

D2 is a pit that can and will suck you in. It's digital crack.

Also for modding on Linux use Limo. Works great.
