Well someone cropped the part of this image where this maths experiment was inspired by trying to figure out how a small dinosaur died in a stranger crater.

I like the UX as it's pretty powerful but I'm mindful of being ancient and having spent nearly a decade working with arcane telco applications.

My biggest pain usually comes in load order management. Usually this is because this is mentioned nowhere but in a note at the bottom of the mod description that might say something like "near the top" or "after mod x". I don't know how Steam just handles this mostly but I have a feeling it might be strong categorisation of mods.

No-one has ever told me what's actually wrong with Vortex.
