Same way any other free game is free, even when they come with a financial requirement. Every single free game on Steam requires a computer - the game is still free even if the computer isn’t.

If you pay for Skyrim, you pay for Skyrim… you can then get Enderal for free.

Either way I’m sure it’s patched

It’s come a long way, but ultimately it’s built using Skyrim’s blocks, so stability is definitely not its strong point.

Advice is to save frequently - not just quicksave, but a hard save that won’t get overridden. Soft locks do happen if just right thing fucks up, like a quest item clipping through the floor.

Also command console is your best friend.

Full pitch in the linked comment.

Speaking of, @StringPotatoTheory@lemmy.world, did you ever get to dive in?

Add “completely free” to the list and you’ve got Enderal.

What did it for me was the bugs. Those little fruit-fly fuckers… they love sugar, and those taps are a concentrated source. Until someone turns it on, and they get blasted off the tube and stuck onto the sticky inside surface of the cap, where they die and continue to get blasted with concentrate, so there’s this membrane of soda residue, dead fruit flies, and mold.

…infact the taste you’re referencing might legit be rotting bugs if it has a kind of rancid protein flavor.

I wonder how many of those fruit flies get blasted straight into people’s drink vs onto the edge of the cap, where they’re just sucked up through a straw and drank by a customer who’s none the wiser.

Nom nom.

Some semi-matte olive paint and that mofo could have a Warthog.

I’m all for it. Let’s have discovery, let’s shine a light on this stupidity.

Well… here ya go.

Worked at a fast food place ages ago, and I remember cleaning the caps of each fountain of the top image: they were pretty horrific. Another poster mentioned mold… they’re not exaggerating. They were probably the second-nastiest surface in the restaurant, second only to the floor of the bathrooms.

Now, I’m under no illusion that the Cloa-Cola dispenser is actually sanitary, but it’s gotta be better than the other model.

Can’t argue with the results.

mystical powers

LSD.

Otherwise, sounds plausible.

Did you hit her with “Oh I’m sorry, I’m sorry - I thought this was America!”

It really is a slap in the dick that climate collapse according to the livable ranges for human life, seems to equate to a climate utopia for some of this planet’s worst creatures.

Like… If we’re gonna create an apocalypse anyway, is it really too much to ask to fuck the planet in a way that makes mosquitoes extinct before humans??

That wasn’t meant to be taken too seriously, lol. I’d guess the odds of enough semen making it through the fistula and then through the normal path to result in a successful conception are… about zero.

Anovaginal fistulas are a thing. 🤷‍♀️

Just dab it with some bacitracin, take some ibuprofen, and get some sleep. You’ll be fiiiiiine.

…what even is that, technically speaking? Lasagna? Calzone maybe?

Just hang their drink on the IV pole, spike it with a line, and put the other end in their mouth!

Pretty sure that’s just feces - don’t let the color fool you.

“I require privacy not to conceal some malice in my own actions; but to protect against the malice of those seeking to abuse that authority.”

IIRC, someone did the math on something like a major surgery… in the US, if you have really good insurance, and don’t run into those nasty surprises like some out-of-network doctor poking his head into your operation and asking if the main doc needs his ass scratched (which appears as roughly $13,000.00 on your bill); but if everything goes without a hitch…

…it’d still be like a quarter of the cost to just fly to Europe, have the operation done there, hang out there for two weeks in a hotel while you recover, food, gas, etc, and then fly back to the US.

…no, that wasn’t a typo.
