There was this editor that let you make esm files. I can’t remember if it was already in the game folder or you had to download from steam but it must not have been hard to set up. I remember using it to make one of the buyable houses really big on the inside.
Starfield could have been a way better game if all they did was fuck it up like 45% less. They could have alternatively just delivered on their promises of making the game easy to mod and let the community handle the rest but they fucked that up too. Only the most dedicated of Starfield fan would have the patience to sit down and do all the shit it takes to add a new quest for example. Iirc even Skyrim came with a mod editor with ui that was easy to understand. Right now all we have is a community xedit project that’s somehow even harder to run on Linux than Starfield is.
Download all the roms, folks. I downloaded basically every rom years ago and now every time I see stuff about Nintendo going after roms I breath a sigh of relief knowing I have them all backed up on multiple hard drives.

Wonder what big brain came up with that
Dammit there goes my idea for a microplatic tea recipe
I’ve never used Lutris but I know cs4 can work in wine, I’ve done it before. (I use Gimp now before anyone points out that I should be using Gimp instead). The method I’ve found for manually getting random wine stuff to work is as follows:
Step 1. Get winetricks and figure out how wineprefixes work.
Step 2. Scroll through the winetricks dll menu, make an educated guess on what library to try installing and install it. Direct x and netframework are often the first things I try but c++ runtimes are important too.
Step 3. Try the program after installing the thing you guessed it needed. If it works better than before, go back to step 2 and repeated until the program works correctly. If its borked so badly it doesn’t even start, delete the wineprefix, go back to step 2 and pick different dlls.
Pro-tip: test your program by running it in a terminal instead of double clicking an icon. Sometimes when it crashes, it leaves behind useful information such as “error: missing mscorefonfs” or whatever in which case you should see if the thing it’s complaining about is in your winetricks dll menu.
I’m curious to know why not to do it as well. I’ll probably never do ritalin or steroids but I’m still curious. Like, does it cause heart attack and/or multiple organ failure? Does it cause vomiting? Does it make you generally feel like shit like a hangover?
I use void which is kind of like arch but it trades software availability for making it less likely to bork itself. I’m really pissed that I can’t have virtual box or monodevelop on here. There certain c# related things that can only be done with either monodevelop or Microsoft Visual Studio. Next time I do a distro reinstall I’m going with Debian.
I mean, if you put in the work to figure all the stuff out when the alternative is to pay $400 for 5 pcbs that take 2 month to get delivered, then yes it is a more viable option. Luckily that’s not the case anymore, but if things so south in China I imagine the only hobbyiest pcbs you can get will be via this method again.
You’ll have to modify or build a heated laminator until it can apply photoresist film perfectly to a sheet of copper clad fr4. The you’ll have to build a uv exposure chamber and a light diffuser (I used a picture frame and a shower curtain). Then put that on a turntable for even light distribution like in a microwave and figure out some way of pressing all the layers together tightly enough so it turns out right and light doesn’t get under the clear stencil you printed the pcb layout to. This will take a lot of trial and error to get right. Then you have to figure all the variables to get it to etch properly through even more trial and error.
Once you have all this stuff figured out, you have to figure out a way to deal with vias. The best way I found was to manually solder a wire or pin for each one and make sure to make them big enough that this can be done by hand. Keep in mind that regular through hole pads won’t be connected on both sides so you need to solder the unused ones for your design to work out.
I wouldn’t go as far as to call this “worth attempting”, especially if you’re trying to make stuff more complicated than an 8 bit computer but for really simple stuff that doesn’t require high precision, super thin traces and lots of vias, it’s not too bad. Simple designs won’t require the same levels of process perfection as trying to make something like an atx motherboard.
This is a reasonable typical perfboard build by comparison. The above is insanity.
Surely figuring out home made pcbs is easier than that. Based on things I’ve made that don’t work very well on a breadboard but work better on a pcb, this guy is likely working hard not smart. (I’ve gotten 2 layer homemade pcbs to work before but stopped when pcb fab services became more affordable to hobbyiests)
I’ve had a Debian server in my basement for 4 or 5 years. I’ve encountered a total of 2 entire issues the entire time I’ve had that running. One of which was actual bullshit that I’m still pissed about but the other issue I eventually fixed on my own. It has worked well enough that Debian deserves a go at being a daily driver next time I do an os reinstall.
I really really wish I could come up with a command line script way to issue a command that makes the computer reconnect to the wifi without human intervention of any kind, without so much as even a single ui password dialog, but that’s not a distro specific thing. I use iwctl right now, it seems to be the most reliable and I’ve tried them all.
Starting some kind of sprite based isometric graphics sim game seems like the kind of thing that would make a fun hobby project but personally, I prefer to spend my time doing hobby operating system development. I won’t be the one to make such a game but I’d make mods for it.
I’m installing Debian next time. Arch is OK but it breaks too often and keeping everything working in an Arch installation is a full time job. Void Linux is like Arch but more stable. Voids weakness is that some of the underlying libraries are different (something about multilib and glibc I think) and there are certain Linux programs that can never run in void and you can’t get them. Monodevelop and virtual box for example. I might have to switch to something else soon just because I need this stuff. (yes I know about qemu and bochs, yes I know about compiling basic c# programs via the command line, and all of that is unsuitable for my use case). Void seems to be a great choice as long as you don’t need to use Monodevelop or virtualbox though. It’s great at gaming once you switch to x11.
There’s a good chance Debian will have a harder time playing steam games due to older mesa drivers or something but it might be a necessary tradeoff.
Edit: also, WTF is the font situation in Void Linux? Half my webpages are have some shitty font front the 90s instead of whatever the normal font is and most of my pdfs look weird and can’t be printed because of it. I have just about every single thing in Void repository with the word “font” installed yet I still have to get out my Ubuntu laptop every time I want to print a pdf.
The Sims 4 is the only game genre I know of that doesn’t have any alternative game. There’s especially no open source alternative game. There isn’t an ethical indie studio equivalent but also not even a different scummy AAA studio has a simlike game.
I would be hesitant to get on a teleporter even if they were proven “safe”. It could be possible that from my point of view, that’ll be the last thing I ever see. But from everyone else’s point of view Im alive and I walked out the other end without breaking a sweat. But this is a different instance of “me”. From my point of view, would I be “dead” forever or would I be able to witness myself going out for drinks later that day?
Maybe it turns out that if you make an exact backup of a brain, reconstruct and restore the biologic equivalent of ram and system registers back to their original state (sort of how operating systems do multitasking), then it all works out. But maybe turning the brain completely off or whatever is enough to put the “system” in an “off” state and when it restarts, it’ll be a new instance. Maybe you don’t remember the part where you stopped existing so it doesn’t matter.
I will never switch to windows to use software or play a game.
Wow that’s a really long time. 7! works out to 5040 but 7!! is a stupidly huge number.
Wow if you don’t have a vpn you’re fucked these days.
