  • For mods? Personally I just browser Nexus mods for what looks fun or interesting. Just getting command lines going is fun enough for a start. I always at least start a run giving myself a bunch of cash. But honestly, the vanilla game is plenty fun now and pretty well balanced compared to when it started. Still finding side content and weird stuff

    For general modding I started with the Redmodding Wiki and then I got over complicated trying to use a mod manager, messing with Steam Tinker Launcher and Mod Organizer 2. In the end just did things manually following the redmodding wiki.


  • As a relatively recent Windows refugee, I want to share a recent success that has made me feel fully confident in never needing Windows again and fully feeling the Linux superiority.

    I got Cyberpunk with all my previous mods running.

    Maybe not a big deal for most people, but this was one thing that had kept me holding onto dual boot on my main device. Conversations online also kept making modding on Linux seem so impenetrable.

    Then I decided to spend an afternoon figuring out modding games in general on Linux, and yeah parts of it was tough for me to figure out, but now I’m confident that anything I used to do on PC, I can probably do better on Linux.

    I am ready to take up arms alongside the Weaponized Assault Penguin squad.

    Interesting to think of American and British accents as opposites. I actually learned English (my first and only fully fluent language) living in New Zealand until kindergarten age but no one ever says I have a Kiwi or Aussie accent. I like to tell people I have an “international schooled kid” accent.

    Always felt I had an American accent, that’s what most people say I have. Multiple American friends (Californians mostly) have said I sound British. When I tell non Americans this they laugh.

    Personal conclusion: most Americans aren’t great at identifying accents.




  • Imagine being a tourist in the US, looking for an address you believe to be say, Martin Luther King Street. Can’t find it anywhere, even on Google maps, then eventually you talk to someone and find out it’s now called Elon Musk Avenue.

    Not saying this is exactly the same, but if we’re letting people change the names of places on commonly used global map software willy nilly, even if it’s just region to region, we’re gonna end up with problems. It’s not like “freedom fries” back in the day that legitimately affected no one.

    And I am suddenly seeing a parenthetical on the Gulf here outside the US, so there technically was a sudden change

    When already planning to quit again after a gacha relapse a few years back, I remember thinking “I’ll wait till this event is done”, but then the next event starts, then the next, then the next and they all overlap at least a little and I didn’t want to miss out.

    These games made me feel like it was important " work", that I was building up to something and that mastery and improvement was as easy as showing up and doing dailies.

    Yeah, dark patterns in gaming absolutely suck
