Given most bats live in colonies, I would think they'd be more associated with being social:

Some species even share food with each other like bees when returning to roost, so that stragglers with less luck in foraging don't starve.

That seems a lot more social than butterflies that swarm like most schooling insects to inhibit predation, facilitate breeding, and share acclimated housing. If it's the butterfly-to-flower relationship at focus, then social as a bee who share their social "contacts" with others by dancing their butt's out seems more apt.

However, their client software for Linux at least is:

Looks like there's an open source PCB hardware mod for nest thermostats:

Some folks with visual impairments have enough eyesight to enjoy visual gags, but still use screen reader software, so including the digital text makes it easier for them to read captions in the image. Screen readers with optical character recognition can still fumble with handwritten fonts or poor contrast/alignment, so copying the text into the post discussion improves redundancy for readers.

NFS PU was the first ever racing game I encountered with a career mode. It was brutal in that I couldn't drive with the same skill using just a keyboard like I did with prior titles, and that kind of dead locked my progression until I figured how to use an analog controller on PC. It felt like driving on ice.

Split screen racing was so fun back in the day! Can't remember the most recent racing title I've seen that supported that. I'd take a local LAN multiplayer or self hosted server option as a substitute.

Open to cross posting elsewhere. Couldn't really think of a better community for science content with jokes, gags, and research data in video format.

If you're new to Linux, then NixOS may be outside your comfort zone, but nixpkgs does enable simple patch set integration for legacy Nvidia drivers for use with recent kernels. You could try enabling the 390 config option from a NixOS desktop install, or fetch and apply the appropriate patch from aurPatches source yourself from a different distro for a corresponding kernel version:

It's so neat to see the game still receiving mods and independent patches after all these years. I wonder how many new players discover this series, who are probably born well after its release.

Multi-generational fanfare is common among other multimedia such as books and movies, but I wonder what the breakdown is for video games, or how that percentage may be changing as the game publishing industry continues devolving.

Yeah, I preferred when the franchise mostly centered around stock super and hyper cars, and performance tuning was done via the settings menu rather than mucking about with in game farming for aftermarket parts.

The voice over and picture show promos for vehicles in the selection menu was so hype for every model, even if you knew the car wasn't even top tier in the game.

Horizontal split screen worked rather well for racing games, given the split field of view on the old 4:3 displays are quite similar to widescreen gaming today.

Haha, that's great! What related landmarks does that track allude to?
