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.

Which, ironically, is the actual reason Kinder Surprise are illegal in the US: It’s not a specific ban, it’s that you’re not allowed to put non food inside of food. Which is prima facie completely reasonable.

Hmmm. It’s often said that the difference between medicine and poison is a matter of dosage.

Which means that you could potentially use lesser restoration to kill someone who is receiving mundane treatments for a lethal disease.

Or, heck, consumed in sufficiently large doses, even water can be toxic.

The Risen series, by the same devs, is also pretty good. Basically “what if Gothic but Age of Sail”, with the second game being particularly piratical.

Well, the blinding stew is for children, while this doesn’t work on anyone under 35.

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?

Imagining 2 or more temporal dimensions

This one’s actually kind of easy. The plot of Back to the Future (and every other time travel story where changing the past is possible) doesn’t work unless there’s more than one timelike dimension.

It’s fine, babe, the doctor said I’ve got a standard.

Ironic, given that the English “dandelion” was borrowed from the Old French dent de leon (“lion’s tooth”).

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.

TRON Legacy is the best Daft Punk music video.

Needless to say, they’re wrong.

Not least because there’s no such thing as a “compiled” or “interpreted” language.

Which is to say that it’s a property of the tooling rather than the language itself. There’s nothing stopping anyone from writing a C interpreter or a Python compiler.

But also it’s a magical curse from Molag Bal.

Though the metaphysics of TES are weird enough that it’s not really safe to assume anything has the same underlying cause as it would in the real world (e.g. sunlight comes from another dimension through a tear in space). So maybe all diseases are actually curses in the setting.

Windows 3.1 was only like 7 disks.

The giant pile of floppies was Windows 95, at more than 100. And the Windows 98 upgrade CD. would ask for a random one several times during a clean install, so we had those things for a while.

As for showing my actual age, when I was a kid my dad bought an Amstrad PC1512, a mostly DOS machine with two 5.25" floppy drives and no hard drive.

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

Also phylogenetically and morphologically.

T-Rex is more closely related to sparrows than to stegosaurus.

That’s, like, meta-esoteric knowledge.

Not a fan of Empire Strikes Back?

I thought I was an autonomous collective.
