Sorry everyone for the disrespect, hopefully the coven is forgiving

Really annoying that marketing has stolen the term

Yes! It reminds me a bit of python’s click library but for bash

It’s pretty much just make, but I find it easier to work with

Yes, that’s what the post is about. The comment you replied to appears to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the other use of the term, which can be found on urban dictionary

Looks useful for movie studios!

That’s what I was trying to avoid! Nordic Souls adds so much littered around that it was a nice surprise and mostly something I’d play.

Does ESO have controller support? I’ve heard good things about it forever, just never played further than the (quite good) beta.

Because the sun is so full of hate that it literally cannot stop burning

I decided I wanted to replay Skyrim so I went and downloaded a few mod packs from Wabbajack and played through the intro to Bleakfalls Barrow on each.

Nordic Souls is a 200GB pack that makes the game feel modern and look great! My poor 1060 struggled in some places but the world is gorgeous and the interface is much better. It has the quick loot feature from Fallout 4 and overall feels like a great pack if you want to replay Skyrim but want something that feels new. Also it comes with like 1000 hair styles.
I did have a frustrating bug that made my crosshair disappear while trying to be a stealth archer, and the map was a 2D paper map which didn’t have enough detail for my liking. The list is like 1300 mods so didn’t where to look to fix those things.

Then I tried out Legends of the Frost, which is closer to 40GB total and is a more tame pack that mostly fixes bugs and enhances the vanilla world. I added the quick loot mod and this is what I’ll be playing on, the performance is much smoother on my graphics card and I don’t really feel the need for all the extra content. The world is still a lot prettier!

Nordic Souls is absolutely worth it if you’ve got the space though. There were more enemies wandering around Bleakfalls Barrow which made it a little harder, the refreshed map made it feel fresh to explore (I was surprised at some of the differences in world props!), and it has a ton of new content in the form of quests, companions, locations, spells, weapons, armor, etc. And I definitely recommend wabbajack, it makes these crazy mod lists a 1-click install (as long as you have the prerequisites)

Update from the dev on reddit (you can skip the OP, it’s full of false and inflammatory claims just to get upvotes):

Wow, I never expected to become the centre of one of these game dev controversies - I want to set the record straight about some of the misconceptions I'm seeing in this thread.

Firstly, no it isn't coincidential that there's a visual similarity between my game and his. Yes, I was inspired by certain aspects of Kenney's game in designing the visual identity for mine. At the time I didn't believe this stepped over the line of becoming plagarism - after all this is an industry where games are always iterating on previous ideas and that's by and large seen as being a good thing. Especially in this particular genre - where there's only so much you can do visually in the first place - at the time I didn't see it as problematic whatsoever that the games look visually similar. However I've spoken with Kenney directly and come to an agreement with him. It's also not good for the long term success of my game to be seen as plagarising and I would like it to stand on its own merit rather than under his shadow. That's why I've decided to make some changes to create some distance between the two games.

I don't hold any ill will towards Kenney and as far as I'm concerned we're on good terms - yes I do wish we could have resolved the matter privately instead of using the force of 100k Twitter followers against me - which he presumably know would result in the inevitible twitter shitstorm - but I also understand that emotions were running high and I can understand the perspective that he assumed I was acting in bad faith. It's not an ideal situation but it is what it is and as far as I'm concerned this is the best outcome for everyone.
