  • Yeah this would be possible. You would need to be diligent with backups if you planned on adding mods as the playthrough progresses, as adding mods to an existing save can cause unpredictable behavior.

    An easier to manage idea would be to pick a suitable mod pack and play that. I’ve been hosting a Valhelsia 3 server for my friends and I for a couple weeks and it has been a lot of fun. Valhelsia 3 has all the mods you mentioned aside from Ad Astra. Valhelsia 5 has all of them. There are tons of other packs you could play too. I prefer to play packs that are based on 1.16.5 and before as the performance is significantly better than anything that came after.



  • Up and down I guess. My wife’s aunt passed away and she took it pretty hard. I try to just be there for her because I know in this case there’s nothing else I can do but I hate to see her so upset. It’s been a few days and she seems to be processing it well.

    I’m also in the middle of a terrible IBS flare up. I would like to see a doctor about this finally, but being a young, otherwise healthy guy, I don’t have care established with a doctor’s office and getting an appointment is proving to be a challenge.

    On a more positive note we celebrated our one year wedding anniversary. Had a nice lunch together, walked our dog through the local arboretum, and opened a left over bottle of rye whiskey from the wedding to make old fashioneds (one of the drinks we had at the wedding). We will wait till our five year to open the bottle again.

    My wife, some friends and I wanted to play some modded Minecraft so I setup a Valhelsia 3 server for us. It’s been a lot of fun so far, none of us have had fun with this game in years, so it has been nice to play again.










  • Spelunky 2 - $20. One of my all time favorites here. Over 200 hours in, don’t regret any of them. I could easily double my playtime without seeing everything.

    Dark Souls 1 - $30(?). Back in my teen years on the 360 I bought Dark Souls without knowing anything about it. I played through it with a buddy, passing the controller on death, and we had a blast. That first run transcends money for me, I would pay anything to keep that memory. Recently that same buddy and I replayed the game together and are now reworking our way through the series.

    Racingmaybe - $3. This game is amazing. It’s a turn based drag racing game with an upgrade system. This is the best driving game I have ever played, far and away. It’s a hobby project by a solo developer. At it’s $3 price point this game is well worth the money. Seriously, if you’re reading this, buy it. Or drop your Steam name and I will gift it to you.

    Mount & Blade: Warband - $20. This game is really starting to show its age but I still love it. Endless mod potential gives it tons of replayability.

    I could go on forever but these ones came to mind first.
















  • Here’s a script from GPT4:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    # Create a temporary file for storing file checksums
    tempfile=$(mktemp)
    
    # Generate MD5 checksums for all files in the current directory and its sub-directories
    find . -type f -exec md5sum '{}' \; | sort > $tempfile
    
    # Detect and delete duplicates
    awk 'BEGIN {
        lasthash = "";
        lastfile = "";
    }
    {
        if ($1 == lasthash) {
            print "Deleting duplicate file: " $2;
            system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
        } else {
            lasthash = $1;
            lastfile = $2;
        }
    }' $tempfile
    
    # Clean up
    rm -f $tempfile
    

    This script can be run with Termux from the root of your internal storage. Usually /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0. Do not confuse this with running from root if you are rooted.

    Before using a script that interacts with your files you should backup anything that is important just in case.

    Furthermore, if you comment out:

    system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
    

    By adding a # in front of it like this:

    # system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
    

    You can run the script and see what files the script would delete without actually deleting them. I would recommend doing this as I have not tested this script.
