Unfucking a Bethesda game with day-one mods is a time-honored tradition. Toddition.

Legally, it’s probably not. The OEM desktop license probably doesn’t cover virtualization.

How should we know? Ask them, not us.

That is, in fact, how game engines work, if the game logic and renderer are decoupled. Usually they’re not too tightly coupled in the first place, but Unreal is specifically designed to be used in more than just games.

French doesn’t deserve such nice treatment. They’re not even using those letters!

Not really. The user has full control over the PC, and they could completely image and restore the whole drive. There’s no way you could detect that without an outside reference point.

Probably not the only one, but there’s not very many of you, because there are plenty of engines.

What exactly is the connection?

Yup. You make yourself look like a bot, you’re gonna get treated like a bot.

Paid support.

I still use pkgs.org pretty frequently when I need to find versions of packages and their dependencies across different distros and versions of distros. I had to use that to sneakernet something to fix a system just this past week.

Yes, and encryption had nothing to do with it (though I suppose it would have prevented it in this case).

A properly configured modem would ignore this coming from the Internet side, or escape the characters so that they didn’t form that string.

It was always fun saying +++ATH in IRC to see who hadn’t configured their escapes properly

All installation media is a bootable image. Whether it supports booting on the virtual hardware is another question.
