This has only one type of puzzle that is repeated over and over again?

Not exactly. There's a basic idea underlying the puzzles (click on a circle and draw a line to the end point) but the game takes that trivial mechanic and really pushes it as far as it can. The game doesn't explicitly tell you what the symbols on the boards mean -- you have to infer that yourself through experimentation to figure out valid solutions with puzzle sequences to help you grasp an idea. The game is basically a giant meditation on observation/perspective/inference/the scientific method/learning/etc. If that sounds intriguing, you might like the game; if that sounds pretentious and annoying, you probably won't.

To the game's credit, it has some genuinely neat ideas. I strongly advise not looking anything up about the game if you think you might enjoy playing it. It's a game about discovery and some of the more interesting epiphanies you can have are easily spoiled...

And they want 37€ for this?

I got it for ~$10 from GOG a few years ago when it was on sale. 37€ is basically the launch price from almost a decade ago.

I found another thread here with a similar issue: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/1016

There's a comment at the bottom from noelmiller that says:

This issue has been plaguing us since the creation of the ISOs. We are aware of this issue and are actively working on a replacement effort for the existing install process. This is unfortunately an upstream issue with Anaconda and until we have a replacement ready, there is not a lot we can do.

Other posters in the thread have said sometimes they got it to work just by trying the process repeatedly. Problem probably isn't you; seems like the installer just isn't very good...

I assume you've probably already seen these pages -- but in case not, and also for my own future reference, here are the installation and install troubleshooting pages:

The 2nd link there has a video of someone switching into terminal mode to work around a similar generic error with the installer.

Quick search for the command in the error message returns this github issue for a similar looking problem: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/184

Have you already tried the suggestions there? (hook up an ethernet cable, redownload the installer in case it got corrupted, etc.)

You can just use the rendered fat as a cooking fat for anything that pairs with the spices you infused it with.

Fried rice might be nice!

Trying to decide if I want to stick this out to find out what all the fuss is about or not.

I don't know if you'll enjoy the ride overall, but the show's a roller coaster with a long hill climb. It picks up later.

I picked an RNG name since my old common username (from reddit, etc) was not available when I started on kbin.social (RIP) and I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to be called. I deliberately kept it short though. Not sure what to make of other RNG names -- esp. long unintelligible ones -- but I've seen at least one account that I think is legit which has a long, bizarre RNG-looking username and a non-English display name, so 🤷️

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necker_cube

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle

The ice cream block is a sort of optical illusion (Necker cube) with the two handles sticking out of incompatibly orientated sides of the cube. (If you look at it one way, the bottom handle makes sense; if you look at it another, the right handle makes sense -- but not both at once.)

A Klein bottle is another trippy mathematical object.

Basically, I'm pretending their names together are a brand selling ice cream with physically contradictory properties. :-)

Yup, I totally ate the onion on this one. Wait, what do you mean it's not satire!? :p
