Vault has integration with ShareX, grab the config from the sidebar. It's windows only so I don't use it tho, but @WhiteShark does I think.
Yes, it's very convenient. It can do screenshots, video, audio, etc. I have a hotkey assigned to take a screenshot, which also puts it on my clipboard, and then another hotkey to upload whatever's on my clipboard to the Vault. It can also do OCR, though I almost never use it.
The most interesting Deus Ex 1 self-imposed challenge that I saw was someone completing the game without using anything that went in the inventory (no weapons, medpacks, augs, etc), essentially just limiting himself to items that you could manipulate like boxes and TNT crates. Being able to carry a TNT crate between loading screens certainly helped.
Does anyone have any recommendations for self-imposed challenges to make this game more interesting?

Get through the game without falling asleep or throwing your computer after the 1000 loading screen.

The loading screens are definitely irksome, but I was led to believe they took twelve winters to load. So far it just seems to take 2-4 seconds to load. Too bad quests make you walk around all over the place so those seconds add up.

The PC port is bad. I never understood how a game that was made using a PC can have worst optimization then the console version.
Guess if I would have bought something at that mudslime it would be game over because I could not pay off the pilot?!
Not sure about the pilot. But the Omar sells an SMG, a black bio-canister and something else. You can get a 50% discount AND a free black canister if you scan a grey alien in the nightclub basement.
The Omar are ******* awesome, but good god I get some existential dread when I think about what they are doing to themselves.
They are actually a component of a very interesting Deus Ex 1 mod that takes place in Russia.
It's halfway enjoyable if you do not play it like a stealth game, my baton is super strong with strength 3 and EMP 3 now, not only do I knock people out incredibly fast but bots, cameras, turrets are getting "scrambled" for a while when I hit them, making them allied to me. Meaning I can also now destroy any of them without raising an alarm.
It's a cheesefest though.
Resident Anti-feminist MRA, Race-mixer and no I'm not woke and not gay. Married with children, My writing style is shit, live with it or ignore me.
A very hard boss fight comes up, what do you do?
1. Fight the boss as best as you can, dying many times and having to think quickly on your feet.
2. Find some way to cheese the boss
3. Walk away from the boss and into the next room without even trying to fight them
I did number 3

I'm at the templar base I think I'm halfway through. I wish you all would have voted Kotor instead
People just don’t understand the absolute gem that is IW.
IDK if I should actually be playing this, the game is decent but but good enough for another playthrough. I'm downloading the game right now anyway, at least it wasn't Mass Popamole.
Got through Mako, pretty boring segment tbh.
Game hadn't been too bad so far but... I've been wandering around Cairo for some time now and... I refuse.
(the ********** chanting is actually a Sound FX, not Music. So there's actually some random fuckwad NPC somewhere specifically created to torment the player from a mile away.)

On Trier now and all my biomods are already maxed out, so I'm sitting on a couple of upgrades that I can't even sell... Very generous devs I guess?
Some augs become more useful as the game progresses. You can use them to switch your choices. For example, when you start fighting enemies with rocket launchers.

I had to switch my X-Ray vision to Regeneration once I got to JC's Antarctica base. The reason I sided with the Templars was because I wouldn't have to waste so much time and ammo on these bullet sponge powersuit *******.
And it's been going so well for my non-lethal playthrough too. I hadn't killed a single enemy until they showed up. I tried knocking them out with my police baton, but then they just ******* exploded. No non-lethal for me it seems.
Holy **** was the last level boring. Just lots of empty space and walking around. The penultimate level was kinda cool tho, seeing Cairo go to hell.
But yeah, helped the Templars 'cause JC's not even human anymore, he was just scared of AI and was going to hand us over to it. The Illuminati was an alright choice too but the level of biomods pushed onto people like Leo by the Omar for example was just disgusting. Time to put a halt to it.
People prevail. Not cold AI, not callous freaks. People.
it's an... alright game. Kinda boring until the climax tbh.

Real. I was a police baton adept too, used it all game with melee and EMP biomods. Then those fatsos show up and I suddenly have to use guns just for their kamikaze asses. I was fuming, fuming I tell you!

JC's speech about melding humanity into a single biomass blob under the rule of some ****** AI was so ******* cringe. Literally the only story reason I joined the Templars. I wanted to do the renegade ending that Leo suggests at first, but then I remembered how the Templars said they would neutralize all the nanite ******** floating in the atmosphere. The renegade ending on the other hand would leave the Omar in position of power to continue their ******* Borg assimilation. Which really makes me think that Leo was completely assimilated by that point and was playing you to do what's best for the Omar.
**** 'em. Better a post-apocalyptic feudal society than this singularity nightmare ********.
It also need to be said how much work the devs had to put in to make the Templars as unattractive to the player as possible. They're all racists and their leader speaks to you in an extremely condescending way and that one Templar in Antarctica just has to betray you the moment you save his life. Literally all of it is to make sure that we wouldn't choose the obviously most morally righteous cause.

Leo still doing the Omar's bidding? I gave him money to escape them so that didn't even cross my mind. I did not consider that plan to be beneficial to the Omar, just assumed there'd be civil war for a couple decades due to the power vacuum, which seemed like a pointless waste of time to me. Interesting thought though, Leo playing you... I can see it.
And regarding the Templars, add in the fact they wiped out Alex's hometown and all of his family. They really hand you every possible reason to reject them.

Yeah, after Leo tells you that he's going to be forcibly converted into an Omar the first time he goes to sleep, you can give him money to escape. But he shows up at the Liberty Island in a shed behind the UNATCO ruins. He tells you to just kill everyone on the island instead of doing any other ending. if you kill every faction leader and blow up JC's nano-throne or whatever it was, the Omar destroy the AI that was keeping JC alive. After you kill him for real, the Omar call you up and thank you for helping their faction by giving you a discount.
As for the "gave him money" thing, you can pay Sid Black 2000 to firebomb one of the factions on the island, but he just takes the money and leaves you with a JPG of the island map. So, you're not guaranteed the result you want when you pay for it in this game.
And, yes, the Templars are portrayed as the most moustache-twirling cartoon evil villains from the get-go.

"Hey thanks for helping us conquer the world, here's a discount"
******* omar, that's too funny
Right, because joining the transhumanist hivemind is the better option.
Doing so because a one-liner he said that one time sounds cool is gay.
He also says a bunch of ******** **** when you first meet him:
I didn't screenshot the whole thing because it was getting so stupid that I saw no point in having a screenshot for every line of his monologue.
And here's an AI that works for Denton spouting commie propaganda:
