“Netflix and chill” but with a distinct lack of chill.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

Yeah, the way I was suggesting would only work for one game at a time. You might be able to set something up with symlinks to make everything visible in a separate prefix for the mod manager, but that sounds like way more trouble to me.

I haven’t done it a lot, but running a Windows mod manager in the same prefix as the game should work where there isn’t a Linux native version available.

And that’s why nix exists.

I had a similar thing happen recently following a NixOS upgrade. I wonder if it’s something that changed in Firefox.

In my case, the solution was to set useEmbeddedBitmaps = true in fontconfig. Which is unlikely to be directly helpful to you on Fedora, but maybe there’s an equivalent option somewhere?

I’ve seen ¤ used as a currency mark in games. Dwarf Fortress is the one that comes to mind, but I feel like I’ve seen it elsewhere as well.

NGL, I spent a minute wondering why Microsoft would be going after NixOS in particular.

Sturgeon’s Law has been around a lot longer than that.

Back when copyright was created, it had a fixed term of 14 years.

The old tractor-feed dot matrix printers never had great print quality, but they were built like tanks.

I haven’t.

The Matchless Kungfu certainly looks like Wuxia Kenshi, but I haven’t actually gotten around to trying it.

I had fun with it. Can be a bit slow and grindy, as forming a build involves finding the right (randomly generated, periodically refreshed) techniques and studying them. And there’s a big power jump in each area so this process has to be repeated regularly.

I initially got into it when looking for something like Wandering Sword, but as a M&B- or Kenshi-style open world, which it’s not exactly that.

Tale of Immortal […] doesn’t even work if you don’t have your system set to Chinese

I’ve played it (in English, on a US-English Windows install) and I don’t remember having to do anything like that.

I felt similarly after Fallout 3. I think that universe just isn’t for me

Out of curiosity, have you played any of the non-Bethesda Fallout games? Because the Fallout-nees of FO3 (haven’t played 76 or 4) is a paper-thin veneer composed of random elements from previous games jumbled together in ways that make no sense.

I don’t want to diminish slavery in any way

Speaking of the ambiguity of language…

being unable to move the titlebar further up

I know KDE has an option to disable this behavior, though I forget what it’s called off the top of my head. Then it’s just a matter of grabbing the window with super+drag to put it wherever you want.

but it seems too good quality to be custom work and is definitely an official controller.

Custom official controllers are a thing.

Shit in, shit out. That’s AI.

“On two occasions I have been asked, – “Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” … I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.”

—Charles Babbage, on his analytical engine, 1864

Depends on the distro. Some have a configuration setting to allow unfree software or not, others have separate repos.
