I write code and occasionally blog posts.
I'm yequari. I like programming, tabletop games, and the Transformers.
automating stuff is so rad
I love video games. Or, at least, I think I do. I don’t finish very many of them. I either play them for a few hours and forget to come back or I hyperfocus and get like 75% through the story but lose interest before getting to the end.

These are my notes on how I got League of Legends running on my Linux system. It runs almost flawlessly, the only issues I have are with the client, but even on Windows the client is garbage. The game itself runs even better on Linux than it does Windows....
