  • Skyrim can almost be modded like Skyrim SE, so that’s a huge plus. There are also VR specific mods that give you a more natural VR feel, like HIGGS (Haptic Overhaul), VRIK (giving you a body) and PLANCK (gives you the ability to interact more freely and directly with your environment) This definitely gives Skyrim the VR feel that it needs.

    Having something like VR Weapon Throw also gives you a lot more options to play the game, adding thrown weapons and semi-medieval firearms. They don’t make a lot of sense canonically, but the added gameplay value is tremendous.

    Another Idea is to add a couple of “Survival Mode” mods, to make it truly immersive. Speaking of Immersion, you definitely should install as much graphical overhauls as your PC can handle, especially for NPCs and Items. You can handle muddy textures in the forest, but it’s not pleasant to speak to a muddy textured face. Or looking at a sword that’s just a blob of grey and shiny.



  • I usually cut down on domain/DNS cost by using a free dynamic DNS service called duckdns. It works super well, provides Let’s Encrypt support and sub-sub-domains. (for example your could have https://git.$username.duckdns.org)

    I’ve found as a IT noob that Caddy 2 provides as much “batteries inside” and “boiler-plate free” to support me, because I have no Idea what I’m doing. So I just let caddy handle my encryption and reverse proxy to my actual server.

    I’m an embedded software dev, who only discovers ethernet protocols on a surface level, because we hadn’t need it yet in previous projects, so I’m a bit lost on how to do cloud stuff. So having all these great tools for free for me to try out and connect from outside to my media servers and stuff is awesome!
