    Technically, when installing a fitgirl rip, it is doing an extraction only, just with some extra UI elements and other features like installing dependencies.

      With the added complexity that it can fail for reasons I don’t comprehed. If it was just extracting that wouldn’t fail under any circumstances.

        Never had a fitgirl install fail. Make sure your download was complete and not corrupted or missing required files. And make sure you have enough RAM not including swap. Some of these games use pretty heavy compression that uses a whole lot of RAM. And it seems swap sometimes causes the decompression to fail. Not sure why though.

        The only times it has failed on me was because either the storage device or RAM were faulty. It’s definitely worth it to check both for errors every once in a while, as financially devastating as it is to replace either.

        Iceland. Yes, contractions are a fad. Threadiverse is still xenoglossophobic af.

          Are you Icelandic? Or is this something you picked up on your own. And contractions are not a fad, they are commonly used. As for xenoglossophobia, its not an irrational fear of such linguistics. Its simply the fact that nobody outside of very specific parts of the world write in such a way. And normally not when communicating with strangers online who never encountered this style of writing.

        ð is edh, it represents a voiced dental fricative, like the “th” in “them”

        ŋ is eng, it represents a voiced velar nasal, like the “ng” in “sing”

        ç is a “c with cedilla” or “broken c”. It’s used in several languages with different readings, but they seem to be using it as a voiceless aveolar affricate, like the “ch” in “match”

      I must say I had the same experience, even on cs.rin. Almost all of the blood of dawnwalker releases had malware in them. The only clean one was the GOG version.

      That’s why I mostly grab the clean steam files and configure the emulator myself.
