  • This may not entirely help you if you don’t have a Windows drive (I dual boot when needed, especially for modding my games easily on Windows and then moving the files over to Linux after testing it works in Windows) but:

    • Log into Windoze
    • Install your game if it isn’t (Quick Tip: If you do have Windows and Linux on separate drives, you don’t have to download the entire game again. Drag the game over to the correct folders you would have on Windows, then go to download the game. It will see the files and fetch anything you still need)
    • Run the game at least once to make sure your files are created and whatnot (SkyrimPrefs.ini or whatever it is called)
    • once at the main menu, download any of the anniversary edition stuff if you have them
    • Use Nexus Mods modding tool Vortex and use a Collection (NOTE: If you do not have a Premium account, you can use any other program like Mod Organizer 2 or whatever if you want, I have only ever used Vortex, sorry. :/ )
    • Let the mod managers do their thing
    • Once all the mods from the Collection/s are installed, start the game on Windows and make sure you can get in game at least (Not all mods/Collections are created equally!)
    • Log back into Linux and use your preferred File Manager program to go into your Windows drive (Mine is called basic something, I’m away from my computer right now) and move the whole game folder over to your proper Linux folder for your Steam games
    • Test
    • Hopefully profit?






  • No. I actively hate it to be real, but I leave that frustration for future me since my OS is pretty damn reliable and rock solid 90% of the time.

    I also learned to do monthly updates instead of weekly because I updated once this year, and every time afterwards I went to update, it would always destroy my display. (Nvidia card user here, I didn’t know I would be moving to Linux so I didn’t know how stupid nvidia can be on Linux lol). It took a literal two or three months of trying to update before it did without any issue whatsoever!

    On the upside, I was able to update last month and everything worked fully like it used to. Just weird ass behavior sometimes.







  • TL:DR: Veilguard is garbage compared to Origins.

    I would say so.

    Two had a lot of hate because the fanbase was so in love with what they did with the first game. They essentially took everything that made the first game great, and watered it down for the masses. Flashy combat, sure, but the RPG elements were hardly there, which is kind of what the fans loved about the first one. Multiple origin stories (name of the game baby) and a swath of “play your way” gameplay. Tactics for AI companions, the different branching paths for how you handle the choices during the game, and companions who were really well written for the most part with quests to flesh the world out and let the player immerse themselves.

    Two was city, back and forth. Watered down game mechanics, a story that didn’t feel as well written as the first, and I’m pretty sure they had the dialogue wheel in two, which is all around god awful for an RPG game. The lines hardly matched what Hawk was going to say.

    Inquisition was a step up in some areas, and yet another downgrade in others. It was a solid 5/10 for me. Playable, but nothing to rant or rave about.

    The fan base has slowly lost interest in the series as time goes on because their writing is just getting so god damn awful now. Where in Origins, it felt like they could be real people, all reacting in different ways to a Blight that’s at their doorstep, and quickly coming in. In Veilguard, it’s like the writers have only ever consumed marvel movie dialogues and thinks that EVERY single character needs to have some quip, comeback, sob story, or other marvel movie quirk. Really big “well, that just happened!” energy in that whole game.


  • I think it’s more that “Dragon Age” Veilguard is a shit game in a beloved series. They’ve always had gay characters in that series and no one (sane, mind you) batted an eye. I think the only reason this trans character got fully blown out of proportion is because the writing is mediocre at best, and everything else wrong with the game, which means the trans issue is even more overblown because it got swept into the “bad game in general” train.

    There would’ve still been outrage, no doubt about it, but we should all be aware that 90% of that is bots spreading hate and manufactured outrage. If it was an actually good game that got the treatment it deserves as a Dragon Age game, the general populace would’ve shrugged and kept playing it because it’s good.

    This is just my opinion though.


  • While I appreciate the honesty, you are coming off as a jerk.

    This is my first time doing anything like this. I don’t normally do anything like this at all. It is a little side thing to have fun learning something new. Most of what you are talking about isn’t even something I am remotely aware of.

    I’d be more interested to learn about MediaWiki from you if you hadn’t come off as such a jerk. I stated in the body of the post that I’m using it offline and for personal use. I have also just started, again, as stated in the body.

    I appreciate your view, but I recommend coming at a different angle the next time you want to share your knowledge of something you are clearly passionate about.



  • I see! I believe this is my first time ever using anything that needed a database, so I’m not really keen to any downsides of a database structure. It does make sense to keep them simple like that, so I will take that into account if I ever feel like simplifying it!

    There are a few options when creating a new page, markdown, RAW HTML, etc. So to make it easy on myself I’ve just been using the HTML for easy import of the wikis I’m interested in.
