Might hop to Bazzite soon.

New idea: You receive a quest from a powerful wizard who cured a master vampire of vampirism. The problem is that he still has the power to enthrall people, and he has created a small harem of female servants with his power.

Your job is to kill him and free the women. If you're playing as a man, it's a simple quest: kill him, get a cool two-handed sword, and go back to killing dragons. If you're playing as a woman, you'll be enthralled, and that's where the fun begins.

Due to your dragon blood, you randomly snap out of the charm, which gives you an opportunity to permanently break the mental hold he has on you with the help of the wizard who gave you the quest. However, your freedom from the vampire is temporary, and you will do quests for him while under his spell.

Actually, you will be doing quests for both sides, and if you complete one side's quests before the other's, you may free yourself or become permanently enthralled by your new master.

SexLab the Mask: It's an idea I've had for a long time. The player equips a cursed mask that alters their behavior. The mask randomly equips itself and chooses a random skimpy outfit for the player to wear.

There will be dialogue that leads to sex with an NPC, and maybe AOE spells that cause sex with enemies and temporarily enthrall them.

Bimbo disease: Similar to porphyric hemophilia. It is a multistage disease that essentially turns the player into a sex addict. In the early stages, the disease is curable. It may cause increased arousal and random masturbation. As the disease progresses, it causes body changes that make it impossible to equip armor. The player may need to visit a seamstress or blacksmith to have custom clothing and armor made.

In the later stages, the player will become dumb. They can easily be fooled by NPCs who claim they will help cure the disease, but who are only there to take advantage of the situation or make it worse.

Ah, Rufus. The liferaft I used to escape Windows.

I tried bottles some time ago but kept on having issues running a program. Any program. It just didn't click

 

Edit: Did you install Bottles using Flatpak? From what I understand, programs can only run inside the bottle's folders.

Quick tip: if you need to use the Steam console with Bottles, add steam.exe  (if it's not there already) to your program shortcuts. Click the vertical ellipses on the right to show the options menu, then click 'Change launch options'. There is a field called 'Command Arguments'; enter -console and save. The next time you launch Steam with your Bottle, the console will appear in your Steam menu.

Now that I have figured this out, I can downgrade Fallout 4.

Which virtual machine program are you using. Some aren't set up well to do this.  If you are having a problme with one try another. Also don't forget Looking Glass. I hear that is the next step so that you don't need a dedicated monitor. It outputs (with a very small delay) to the monitor like a program so far as I have been able to understand. 

 

I don't have a set up to be able to experiment. However, it should be very much like you adding a USB, sound or other device to the system. 

 

Don't forget to turn immou in the BIOS

 

I tried multiple virtual machines. The one that supported GPU passthrough was QEMU, but I couldn't quite figure it out. I found another one that supported GPU passthrough, but I was too burnt out to give it a try.

I'll stop using computers long before I install Windows 11 on one.

I'm giving up on the virtual machine for now. I can easily set one up, but GPU passthrough is too complicated for my monkybrain to understand.

Instead, I'm going to resurrect my old ASRock 970 PC and install Windows 7 on it. Basically, I'm only going to run two programs on it.

Interestingly, when I took a look at the CPU to see what it was, I noticed some bent pins. That's probably why it was randomly shutting down on me.

The good thing about old hardware is that you can get better parts cheaply. I'm basically doing a mini upgrade with parts that would have been out of my price range over a decade ago.

He only performed a basic analysis of the StatCounter data. From what I've seen, the majority of Windows 7's market share gains are in Japan and Germany. It would be hilarious if people were really going back to Windows 7 instead of 11, and I could see Microsoft going after websites that host Windows ISOs. Of course, this assumes that the StatCounter data is correct.

Imagine creating an operating system so unpopular that people in Asian countries are upgrading to Windows 7.

Proof that LInux can have issues. 

I'd rather have Linux problems than Windows problems.

Saving this here.

 

LOL. I posted this thinking I would hate the Garuda Linux default theme, but it turns out that I actually like it.
