I imagine you could do something entertaining with that premise, in a Typing of the Dead sort of way.

The blunt angles and steel doors look futuristic, for sure

Do they, though? It’s always looked to me like something from the background of a PS1 game, intended to give the impression of a moving vehicle but never seen close up.

In my experience running the Windows version of the mod manager in the same prefix as the game also works.

I’ve been on NixOS for a little over a year, and have been absolutely delighted at how well gaming works now. I initially thought I would dual boot until Windows 10 EoL, but have had no reason to use Windows in that time and a couple months ago I converted my storage disk from ntfs to ext4.

Steam is nearly seamless; there have been one or two titles where I’ve had to switch the Proton version to experimental or GE, but nothing more than that. Heroic and Lutris have been similarly easy for non-Steam games. There has been nothing that I have tried to play that hasn’t worked, but I don’t play multiplayer games so YMMV there.

That said, this is not my first rodeo with Linux. I used it extensively in the late '00s and early '10s, which probably helped to sand some of the rough edges off of my recent experience. Though back then wine was not really suitable for gaming. I also have an AMD GPU, which I understand has an easier setup process than Nvidia. (I literally haven’t had to think about graphics drivers at all.)

“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…
