Status check of Tuxborn playthrough
A quick status check on where I am with Tuxborn, since I'm behind on Nona's posts. Also a status check on Tuxborn in general, since the version I was using to run Nona is now deprecated. Last but not least, Tuxborn's devs offered to promote me to Community Helper on the Aetherius Modding Discord, and I accepted!

Experimenting with running Skyrim on my MacBook Pro
First of probably at least a couple of posts describing my experimentation with getting a modded Skyrim working on my M1 MacBook Pro. using Wine.
