Man, sounds like it would work great to power the teleporter I invented.

Well, they were right; not a genius because they are on social media.

Do you mean ghost in the shell for Scarlett Johansson?

I mean as an engineer, this should actually be 2+2=4 +/-1.

No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.

It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?

I know this is revisiting an old post, I’ve been unable to game for some time. When I try this I don’t get any other information. However, I have seen a lot of other issues system wide that just make it feel unstable. Like when playing I will have system wide freezes not just the game freeze (unable to move mouse/keyboard is unresponsive/etc.), I’ve had issues in Firefox where pages will just freeze or be non-responsive and have to force close the program or again it’s system wide freezes. So I’m pretty sure it’s not Steam related and is just the whole OS. I can’t really get logs because when the system freezes my only option seems to be hard shut down then reboot.

Greedily, profiting from you and me Unable to empathize, cancer’s spreading: globalized So it’s now the price they’ll pay, sowing all this enmity. Stand by Luigi’s side, 'cause I hope the Right dies.

Okay will do. And yes because I had to Force Stop it through steam rather than it crashing on its own I didn’t see any super helpful logs. I will try the command you sent when I am able!

Okay just tried it again to get a better test. To troubleshoot, I’m starting with nothing and will hopefully only change/monitor 1 thing at a time.

Just booting the PC, opening Steam via Terminal, and playing the game using Proton Experimental selected, it ran for 2m 9s before freezing (my save is right before talking to Padre after leaving the bar for the opening sequence, game freezes during the car ride before I have a chance to save again. I have been able to get past this before, at least enough to make a save on the other side, but this length of time may serve as a good reference for someone.)

Steam has a popup window that reads “steam_app_1091500 is not responding; You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the app to quit entirely.” After about 5 minutes nothing changes, but I can’t even access that popup because it is frozen. I have to CTRL+ALT+Tab to Steam to then click “Stop” there. Here is what the Terminal reads from opening until game force closing:

I do not know what Wayland nor X11 is. I’m running Linux Mint with Cinnamon(?).

I thought you had to find the square root of negative time to get it?

Windows 10 was actually fine for me, it was the jump to 11 that broke it. Audio jack headphones, then Bluetooth, and still nothing.

What is that?

Yeah when it updated to Windows 11 I also started noticing the news/ads on boot and in the start menu which were obnoxious. Another benefit to switch I suppose. And thank you! If I run into issues I’m sure I’ll be taking you up on that offer.

I built my desktop specifically to be pretty robust and future proof it for a few years: RYZEN 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070TI super, B650 Gaming Motherboard, and 64GB DDR5 RAM. It wasn’t having any issues playing games on windows until windows just started messing with the system unfortunately.

I’ll be honest, they’ve shot themselves in the foot. I’m a normal user, so as long as my things that I’ve setup just work there’s no reason for me to change. As soon as they screwed it up I’m ready to jump to the next thing to make sure it just works. I forgot to mention that I did not try reinstalling Windows 10 because the auto rollback feature said it was no longer available for me (I think it expires after a week or so, and I was troubleshooting after work for longer than that time to try to get it functional again.) so multiple chances for Microsoft to keep me in their services but just couldn’t make it easy.

I’m running Android 14 on a Pixel 5, no updates available for it but seems to be running fine.

You know that’s right.

American raised in the Southeast checking in: put tea bags in kettle of water on stove, heat until the kettle whistles, pour into 1 gallon container with sugar, mix while still hot, and finally place in refrigerator for storage.

When its 78 in February and won’t cool down until November, having a nice, cold glass of sweet tea is lovely.
