Oh that's great! It makes it a lot easier to recommend when there's an easy way to install that I know was approved by the devs

I was thinking to get this game until I saw the AI stuff and took it off my wishlist. I hate that this is probably going to happen more and more often, but I guess it'll encourage me to finally get to the pre 2022 backlog...

Thanks, John! It was your amazing foundational work which got me interested in trying this in the first place, and I really appreciate your openness about everything! I think solitons in hollow-core fibers are going to do a lot of work in attosecond and ultrafast optics in the coming years :)

Since the last place I lived in the US was in Schenectady, my absentee ballot still counts there, and Tonko is the only part of it that I don't feel like I'm holding my nose to check off
