-nix packaging for the Outer Wilds text adventure game. It's broken atm because of a nix issue with
-JavaSound. i'm not sure how to fix it
+nix packaging for the Outer Wilds text adventure game. it should work by default on NixOS. if using
+the nix package manager on a non-NixOS computer, you also need the following when using pipewire or
+another ALSA plugin that lives in a separate package
+
+```bash
+export ALSA_PLUGIN_DIR=$(nix eval -f '<nixpkgs>' --raw pipewire)/lib/alsa-lib
+```
