I have wine, Lutris, and PlayOnLinux. I don't know which one to use when, I have been using the terminal to get wine to work because all I have on Pop is Winetricks and I don't understand it. That's thing one.
Here are some of my plights, biggest one at the bottom:
- I don't understand this whole thing about making a new prefix every time.
- I don't understand how to navigate and install things with Lutris.
- I used Lutris to install origin and Titanfall 2, but launching the game from Origin doesn't work. I also cannot launch Origin without Lutris?
- As a note, I used a tip in the installer for Aer and changed the launch settings via steam, worked great!
This is the one that confuses me the most:
- I have a .exe file for the game Littlewood. It does not need to be installed, just run. If I try to install it via PlayOnLinux, it runs the game. Runs great! But I have to "install" it every time to get it to run... So I tried using wine, no dice. I tried using Lutris, and it runs but is extremely laggy. What is PlayOnLinux doing differently? How do I get a shortcut to my desktop, or in my applications tab? Or get it to run well in Lutris at all.

I'm talking about the kind of users who regularly experience bizarre issues with a system or process that require a lot of investigation and time to resolve, but which aren't necessarily their fault. It's as if they have a magic field of chaos surrounding them that breaks things.
Now, I've been modding Stardew for a while. At this point I'm extremely accustomed to how things work. But even I still dont know what exactly certain formats mean/do, or what the differences between them are. I just know how to debug and follow instructions.
That being said, as this is a Reddit, it's a great place for new modders to learn things. So I would like to ask: Would someone (preferably a modder who knows what the terms and formats mean from experience) be willing to explain various types of mods / mod file formats, and maybe even just general terms? Either in the comments here or in a new post if it's detailed enough. I just think it would be a great resource and help de-obfuscate modding jargon for new modders.
EX: What is TMX short for? What do they do? What type of mods usually use it? Or, even more basic, what is a JSON file?(Using TMX as an example since I discussed it recently and core SMAPI now has TMX compat it's relevant, and JSON since it's so core to modding)

TL;DR: The US will not be in conventional war with itself. If anything, it is going to Balkanize. It will be ugly and not a good time.
Few people want to read books on reddit so I am going to keep this one short(er). If you want the long version, I wrote^1 them^2 here.^3 If you don't like reading, Robert Evans' podcast "It Could Happen Here" is a good introduction to these concepts. All sources are linked at the bottom.
Anyway, the term "civil war" has been in mainstream new cycle as of late. Of course many people balk at this idea because they cannot imagine this happening. It must be impossible in today's modern world with all its complexities. The problem is that those people still view "war" in the way it happened in the 1940s: two big sides, attacks and counter-attacks over lines on a map, money and fuel and infantry on the ground trying to outlast each other, etc. It doesn't work like that. War hasn't worked like that for at least the past 50 years.
The signs of a coming civil collapse can be watered down to four indicators:
1. Freedom and rights are disappearing.
The two wings of our neoliberal political system have refused to return liberties to common people and have only intensified their assault on the unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Healthcare, the right to one's own body, a living wage allowing one to own a house.
2. Polarization, hate, and violence are on the rise.
The 2024 presidential campaign started on January 20, 2021 at 12:00. White supremacy is now mainstream.^4
3. Access to information is limited.
An information silo is a business management term for information that is self-contained and walled off from everything else. I'm not getting into business jargon here, so think of it like a grain silo. Yes, that giant tube with a dome on top next to a barn. It's full of grain and on the top you can even stand on it (don't do that). It looks good, sturdy, stable, just like a new theory you are exposed to. But if you start poking around, there are a lot of holes, cavities, voids. If one of those collapses, then you go do

Shelly, 60, who is the wife of Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige, vanished from public view in 2005. Save for a single appearance in August 2007, she has been in deep isolation for over 15 years.
Tony Ortega's website, which reports on Scientology through documents, leaks, and interviews with former cult members, is the source for most of this information. Links to sources at the end!!!
Shelly's Disappearance: A Timeline
- January 18, 1961: Michele "Shelly" Barnett born
- 1970s: as a young teen, Shelly joins the Commodore's Messenger Org (CMO), working closely with L. Ron Hubbard. This Scientology in-group later evolves into the Sea Org.
- 1982: Shelly marries fellow CMO member David Miscavige
- 1986: L. Ron Hubbard dies and David Miscavige assumes control of the cult
- 1990s: the Miscaviges move to the Scientology compound known as "Int Base" or "Gold Base," located in the desert in Riverside County, California. Their legal address, however, is one of Scientology's properties on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.
- 1980s-2000s: Shelly acts as an assistant to her husband in his role of leading (aka micro-managing) Scientology. According to some former members, she helped "audition" actresses to be Tom Cruise's girlfriend when he was single in the early 2000s.
- circa 2004: Growing more abusive and controlling, David Miscavige creates a place called "the Hole" on Int Base, to imprison and punish his staff who displease him. Tensions in the Miscavige marriage; David spends too much time with his "personal communicator" Laurisse "Lou" Henley-Smith, and Shelly suspects them of an affair. According to Valerie Haney, who was the Miscaviges' assistant and Shelly's personal friend, David and Lou were not in a sexual relationship at that time.
- summer 2004: at a party in Tom Cruise's honor on Scientology's cruise ship, David and Shelly fight and he denigrates her in public.
- summer 2005: David Miscavige leaves Int Base to work in Los Angeles, leaving Shelly behind. Normally, they would travel together, so their relationship is apparently hanging by a thread. At one point, Shelly corners Scientology executive Mike Rinder, who had just returned to the base from working with David in LA. She asks him if David was wearing his gold or his platinum wedding ring.
We all have to start somewhere…
Together with u/_Exordium, I have vastly upgraded, updated and improved my original FAQ to include terms and concepts that have been missing for some time. There have been massive rewrites, corrections and additions throughout. I feel this is now completely up to date, though I hope to come back to it frequently to ensure it stays that way. I see this as a fantastic jumping off point for explaining GME and the situation surrounding it, though I do not intend for this to substitute the DD in any way, shape or form. #We all have to start somewhere…
Please feel free to leave any feedback in the comments!
Without further adieu…
