You’re going to have to define “real magic” here, otherwise this makes no sense IMO
Testing herbs for effects sounds like folk medicine or alchemy at best, but those have been replaced by more rigorous fields like chemistry and pharmacology.

Hm, I don’t care for that. Magic is flashy and fun because it’s entertainment. But science doesn’t look like they depict in movies and shows.
As a process, science looks more like that nerd with the clipboard taking notes on mushrooms or nuclei whatever for 20 years. Then they edit papers from other mushroom / nuclei nerds and go to a conference to give seminars and debate the others and ultimately publish more papers and eventually some books, and if we’re lucky a documentary. They’re exploring hidden worlds in a way that is very opposite of the showmanship and illusions we popularly call magic.
Give me alchemy, give me wizardry
Give me sorcery, thermatology
Electricity, magic if you please
Master all of these, bring him to his knees
I master five magics

And bringing additional people with them!
If you want to give KDE a shot, you don’t need to buy a Deck. Just grab a live installer image from a Linux distro you like, tons of them let you boot and try it out from RAM without actually installing to your hard disk.
I’m pretty UI agnostic (many years with Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, Unity, a few with xfce, and a bit with Cinnamon). I almost picked Gnome on a recent update to my primary home machine for its clean Mac-ish feel, but SteamOS convinced me that modern KDE is actually rather nice.
If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.
Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

Note, it has Denuvo DRM. That’s a hard pass from me. Capcom has even gone back and added this garbage to past games that lacked it, so I wouldn’t trust them.
I mean, this is just using the traditional North American grain – corn – instead of rice.
Are you saying my culture is wrong?! /s
I built the Apollo Lunar Lander not long ago. I enjoy the experience of putting together Lego kits so sure, I’d do that again. Or even a bigger one like the Saturn V.
The problem is what to do with these after I finish assembling them. Nicer kits have a good number of specialized parts so I don’t want to take them apart. So they just sit on a shelf and collect dust.
I know! S2 is my most anticipated game right now so part of me would love to jump in as early as possible. But I had the same experience of playing the original Subnautica with almost no prior knowledge and I’m so happy I did.
This could be nice for folks that want a console-like living room experience that “just works”.
Me? I built a Linux HTPC a dozen years ago and have periodically updated the graphics card (it gets the hand-me-downs from my main gaming PC) so I don’t need this. I’m far more interested in a Steam Controller 2 😄
What were some of the things that nibbled away at ya?
Probably Grontar: The Frutang, circa 2003.
It was just a nibble!
Later: We all have 8 different flavors of cancer from these
Thanks, correction added!
It’s the same situation as if the president became ill or incapacitated in some way.
This has already happened 3 4 times; once for Reagan, twice for GW Bush, and once for Biden (see comment below). In these cases it was quite brief.
Wood Science must be a rather strange field.
Oof that’s a little too on the nosecone.
