good lord. Garvin sounds like a tool.

I have just recently reinstalled and remodded skyrim with MO2! I chose MO2 specifically because it has a linux version which I downloaded off the github.

I have found that MO2 has a lot of functionality built in that just isn't well explained in the tutorial. and it can be quite daunting to start.

For one, you don't have to worry about skse. it comes with that when you choose Skyrim as the instance of MO2 you want to make. MO2 will then launch every time you launch Skyrim. And once it launches, you have all the options!

From MO2, you can choose to run different versions of skyrim. it can run the vanilla PC launcher for you if you want to manually set your graphics settings.

It can launch directly with SKSE, which is what you'll need for most mods. (if you're playing modded skyrim, you'll likely be launching from here most times unless there's specific settings in the basic launcher you want to change)

It also comes with LOOT (which is a load order optimizer) already preinstalled. You just have to click the button to have it sort your load order for you. The load order is usually decent enough for most modlists (depending on size) but there are many guides to load orders for skyrim if you're interested in changing things around to be better optimized for your needs.

my advice is honestly sit down and take some time to kinda go over where everything is. Before MO2 I was a vortex person. I am considering never going back.

if you have any specific questions, I can maybe try to help.

what's weird about it, exactly?

whoaaa. that looks amazing. I added it to my wishlist. I dont know if that was what op was looking for but I'm certainly glad you linked it!

"securing a Google Pixel Phone" would be a more appropriate headline.

anyone without a pixel, this guide will do nothing for you.

they've long killed any desire to ever give them a single cent in my lifetime again.

for those that have trouble with the weird paywall jank on mobile:

Twice before, this Virginia carpenter had awoken in the predawn to start his work day only to find one of his vans broken into. Tools he depends on for a living had been stolen, and there was little hope of retrieving them. Determined to shut down thieves, he said, he bought a bunch of Apple AirTags and hid the locator devices in some of his larger tools that hadn’t been pilfered. Next time, he figured, he would track them.

It worked.

On Jan. 22, after a third break-in and theft, the carpenter said, he drove around D.C.’s Maryland suburbs for hours, following an intermittent blip on his iPhone, until he arrived at a storage facility in Howard County. He called police, who got a search warrant, and what they found in the locker was far more than just one contractor’s nail guns and miter saws.

The storage unit, stuffed with purloined power tools, led detectives to similar caches in other places in the next four months — 12 locations in all, 11 of them in Howard County — and the recovery of about 15,000 saws, drills, sanders, grinders, generators, batteries, air compressors and other portable (meaning easily stealable) construction equipment worth an estimated $3 million to $5 million, authorities said.

“One of the largest theft cases not only in Howard County but in this region,” Police Chief Gregory Der told reporters recently, standing in a county warehouse where the reclaimed loot is piled neatly along walls and stacked high on shelves. “The scope of the investigation is enormous and ongoing,” the chief said, adding, “We believe the tools were stolen from retail stores, businesses, vehicles, residential properties and construction sites.”

Though none of the prolific thieves has been arrested yet, Der said, “we are investigating several suspects for their roles in this massive theft scheme and expect charges soon.”

“Yes, yes, I hope they do,” said the 43-year-old carpenter in Sterling, Va., who helped crack the case and spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect his safety. “Jail for them.” Share this articleShare

Howard police provided contact information for the carpenter, who said his home remodeling business employs 14 workers. He lost about 50 tools in the January theft and has gotten back a half-dozen of them, he said. He is hoping for more.

“They don’t know what they do to me,” he said of the thieves. “They steal our job.”

Seth Hoffman, a Howard County police spokesman, said investigators think most of the 15,000 or so tools were stolen in Northern Virginia and Pennsylvania. Howard County is just where they were stashed. He said about a quarter of the tools are in store boxes with labels that make them traceable. Some were stolen as long ago as 2014, he said. As for the thousands of loose and well-used tools now in the county warehouse, it’s hard to tell who owns them.

“Oh, man, it’s basically every kind of tool you can think of,” Hoffman said. “Basically any kind of tool you can put in a car or a pickup and drive away with. I mean, it’s some kind of inventory.”

Der said detectives have identified about 80 victims so far, “and we believe there are hundreds if not thousands more.” Police created an online form for people to fill out if they think their stolen tools might be somewhere in the piles. It asks for serial numbers, receipts, photos or any “identifying marks, initials, or numbers.” Authorities declined to discuss further details of the investigation

As of Wednesday, Hoffman said, 140 forms had been submitted since police announced the recovery last week, and officers are trying to reunite victims with their implements. “A huge undertaking,” was how Der described it.

“These thefts affect their livelihoods,” the chief said. “We’ve heard from victims who lost work because of their tools. It goes well beyond the cost of replacing the tools.” correction

A previous version of this article incorrectly referred to AirTags as GPS devices. They are a type of locator device, but they are not GPS trackers. The article has been corrected.

I have no idea why, but this made me chuckle.

This reads like a nintendo representative is holding a gun at the temple of whoever was forced to write this.

trying to make it look like they weren't pressured by nintendo and instead opted to do this willingly kinda destroys their entire image.

maybe they should have listened when it was recommended against having a paywall version of the software. live and learn, I guess.

I feel terrible that these devs have to address a bunch of crybabies who are sending death threats for the most insane and entitled reason ever.

if she's happy, I don't see the issue. She's not hurting anybody and seems to have a good grasp of the situation. She's aware it's not real, and still participates.
