I've been struggling to get Eric's Ultimate Solitaire CD to run for years on this G3 Mac. I keep thinking this must be because of a corrupted preferences file or some twisted anti piracy measure, but nobody on the Internet explains this or even mentions it.

The actual problem? This is an obscure Easter egg where naming yourself Weasel just turns every card on screen into a joker. And not even the all powerful Balatro kind of joker either. They retain their original ranks and suits, too, meaning the game is effectively unplayable without cheats enabled.

All it takes to fix the issue is to create another player profile and name it anything else besides Weasel. Talk about things that only I would ever have happen to me.
