    I have [Ancient] Debian Armor and a GNOME as my companion. I often equip the Tor Browser Cloak of Invisibility. If slain, I will drop a Locked KeePassXC Database Chest. After completing the mission Revive bricked Linux system, I was awarded with the [Rare] Ego Potion. When drunk, it boosts all stats temporarily during a battle.

      Sorry to be pedantic, but if you can revive it then it wasn’t really bricked. Depending on how bad it was it was still worth the [Rare] ego item 🧑‍🌾

        That loop of config hell is real! It has subsided recently because I got enticed into writing my own widgets. Also, yes to rainbow pastel (tho I’m using gruvbox as a base/reference color theme).

      You need the Flatpak buff. It allows you to avoid the 4 turn wait time.
      But it reduces your initiative by 4 in the first combat round, and doubles the weight of all enhanced items.
