Create a Reading Ruler from iTerm2 on macOS

These is the rough technique that I used to create a functional, multi-puspose reading ruler out of iTerm2. A video of the results can be found on YouTube.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Use homebrew to install GNU sleep, becuase this supports the infinity aergument, which BSD sleep does not. We will ue this to keep the ruler open idefintely.

brew install coreutils

Launch iTerm2

Space Quest II VGA Deluxe Remake for SteamDeck

I got the Linux build of the Space Quest II - Deluxe VGA fan remake working on the SteamDeck the other day and thought I would share what I had to do.

Download the newest Linux build (SQ2_V2_0_Linux.rar ) from https://infamousadventures.itch.io/space-quest-ii-vga-remake
Copy it over to your steam deck using something like scp.
These steps can be done via ssh or Desktop mode, among other ways,
Create a directory to store the game and cd into there. (e.g. cd ~/Games/misc)
Then unarchive the download with unrar x SQ2_V2_0_Linux.rar
