Off screen games run poorly

Gday. It's been my observation that games start running at very low framerates when you change away to other desktops. I've always assumed that it was some kind of not in focus performance mode and dealt with it, but there are games that penalise you for having low performance and remove you from matches or matchmaking. It gets irritating if I want to switch to a browser to read or watch something and end up getting kicked from a game as a consequence. Does anyone know how to disable this behaviour? If not globally, then at least per application? Thanks

Unusual huntsman behaviour - hopping?

Hello friends. Some months ago I had a huntsman encounter where the spider behaved in a way I've never seen before or since. I've tried looking it up to see if it's normal, but the results were inconclusive.

I was sitting on my couch, and a huntsman was walking across the floor towards my TV. It wasn't going particularly fast, kinda just strutting, but every couple of steps it would do a little happy hop straight upwards. Not by much, just an inch or so. As far as I could tell it wasn't poisoned or injured, but it was still quite bizarre. It went under my TV cabinet and I don't think I ever saw it again.

Has anyone else seen a strutting hopping chill huntsman before?

[Tutorial] Idiots Guide to PKGBUILDs

I write a lot of little scripts and helpers to do things on my system, and with my most recent helper (a systemd service) I decided that I wanted to install it using a PKGBUILD. Learning about the subject had me run into a few problems: the PKGBUILD documentation is way too verbose if you want to do something extremely simple, there were only abstract examples and the community discussions I found on the subject were mostly different takes on RTFM. I thought there might be someone else out there that wanted to try doing something simple so I documented what I did in as simple terms as I could, and put it in a github repository. I hope someone finds it informative or useful. Without further ado, here's the repo: https://github.com/bongjutsu/battery-limit
