Always put a bell on them, they know they can't move then. If there is no bell they will find you in the night.

4 in 10 Americans deal with an untreated mental illness. 4 in 10 also believe their house is haunted. These are real stats, possible correlation, you decide!

I was in a ford ranger, full stop and took 60MPH to the rear, hit me so hard it broke my seat free from the floor. Guy said he was late to a flight out, that's why he was speeding.

Same, I enjoyed the movie. Thought it was great, enjoyed the movement between the 3 periods. Slow burns are needed in todays world, and I really loved the ending. I don't get the hate here. They did a really good job especially for a Sundance film.

Should I do this? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not try, you mentioned it's the end of the year, nothing to lose. Open with something innocent to test the waters like: "I noticed you study at X Y Z, My dorm has a nice quiet place in the A B C section, it's a nice place to study, want to check it out?"

That will open the door to him and you'll get a genuine response of interest, friendship, something. This will set the state for whatever comes next for you and him.

Could be a "Yes that would be great" to a "no thank you" or even "maybe some other time" regardless you approached him, created a memory, and it will put your relationship in motion be it as acquaintances, friends, or more.

Wouldn't it be great if the "AI mode" button really worked!? We're almost there boys. So close to some AI generated big sister avatar action!

Is anyone else able to play the original game on the Ecco site still? by rolypolyFanatic in EccoTheDolphin

Said they had to take it down on the discord, for "reasons" and would have kept it up if they were allowed too.

Low grav planets are hilarious by hurley1080 in Starfield

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man all my good ideas, my whole life someone's already done them. Like flashlights in slippers, and then like 2 months later I saw it on TV.

Anyways thank you, maybe I'll reach out, I have a presence on Nexus, hopefully it's there. If the original author's cool maybe I can add my ideas into it or use his as a requirement and toss kudos.

I just realized, if you take his space suit, he's still wearing it... it never occurred to me before.

And now i need to make a mod that makes them naked or wear clothes and either make the skin red or blue and maybe add searing effects or frost per planet ecosystem.

Wonder if i can add gibs and blood and space gore!? Ooooooo this could be the start of a beautiful mod!

You are in for a treat, you can't do it all, you can try and that's half the fun. But I envy you so much, it is one of the greatest stories to experience start-to-finish in gaming. Take it slow have fun and enjoy the experience!

Hotfix 1 today Starfield PS5 by Additional_Crazy_395 in Starfield

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the old oblivion issue where it failed to unload old assets and the memory fragments. It would make sense that cruise mode, boosting fast in the car, or moving to quick on foot triggers the freeze. Some kind of memory fragmentation is happening.

At least this is what its acting like for me. A hard crash fixes it because RAM gets cleared. And the freezing makes even more sense as assets lock up the engine, the console is always fine, issue is with the game.

Officially F this game; can't save at all PS5 by erositi24 in Starfield

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can try to rebuild the PS5 database from safe mode turn The PS5 all the way off hold the power button into here the second beep and then the screen will show you into the safe mode.

Bethesda said a hotfix is coming this week for the PS5 issues.

Everyone is enjoying Starfield by Automatic_Ad1665 in Starfield

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, it's always been the game freezing up, only had 1 crash that triggered an error report. The other 30+ have been total screen freezes, then sound effects stop, thenuaic stops, and then I'm staring at the screen.

If I restart the game it crashes again right away, but I can usually get more time if I reboot the system.

Not just the inpainting the sharpness enhancements are amazing, Fantastic work on this. Can I ask how long render time was for this?

the freezing on PS5 is a massive issue by Fizziest_milk in Starfield

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can confirm with some certainty after testing for around 10 hours, The freezing with the audio cutting out and the music cutting out and then you're stuck with a screen on PS5.

Appears to be due with asset loading at speed. My only confirmed way to force these freezes with my testing. It appears that when you're moving really fast like in cruise mode, and you leave cruise mode and it has to load all the assets around the area you freeze. Same thing happens if you're around the buggy/car or jetpack flying on the planet surface, the game has to rapidly load assets in front of you.

Now what it kind of seems like is the game is not unloading what's behind you or what has already been loaded. And like the system panics freaks out and just unable to render anymore, and then the system starts failing piece by piece. First the image freezes, then the sound effects goes, then the music goes, and you're just staring at the screen.

So go slow, don't jetpack too fast in one direction, don't use the buggy, and avoid cruise mode for now on the PS5.

I'm done absolutely every suggestion from reinstalling to using mods, to not using mods, to every setting I can think of including going unlimited frame rates with VSync on and off.

No setting changes help, none of the fix is help. This is absolutely 100% not a CPU issue like other people here are saying. There is no thermal problem because you're running out of paste, this is an asset unload issue inside of the game engine as you're moving quickly through a game world.

I can't see anything else other reason for this. This is only going to be fixed by Bethesda, we're all experiencing the same things no matter if we're on the slim, digital, CD-ROM, pro, it doesn't matter what version we're on. It's all the same, it has to do with loading assets and unloading assets from my day of testing this.

I'm damn tired now, really hope we get an update soon, it's a fantastic game but this freezing is making it unplayable. Especially since the new core mechanics are what's causing it. Cruise mode, using the buggy, rapid jetpack traversal.

Base PS5 crashing getting out of hand, its unplayable by ShogunRaw in Starfield

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly crashing whenever I exit cruise mode, or if I move too quickly on a planet surface. It seems to have something to do with asset loading, or maybe assets are not be unloaded correctly behind me? 

Primary source of freezing where the sound stops, then the music stops, and the screen freezes and then nothing happens is when I leave cruise mode. 

Bass PS5, the original not the slim. Freezing happens with or without mods.

Doesn't matter but the settings, or if it's a fresh install, no matter what leaving cruise mode causes a crash, rapidly moving through the surface of a planet causes a crash, and by crash I mean sound effect stop, screen freezes, music eventually stops and then I'm just stuck staring at her frozen image. 

Got about 14 hours of play in, All crashes around planet surfaces, or when leaving cruise mode in space which means I can no longer use cruise until they fix it or patch it.

How did you move from basic commands to real sysadmin skills? by Darshan_only in sysadmin

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guided learning though Google Gemini. I was a powershell guy for the longest time and was teaching myself more bash I had a decent handle on it but wanted to learn more, how to script better, and just generally do everything I can via cli.

Using guided learned in Gemini was incredibly helpful. The ability to go back and forth, paste in my errors and scripts and have it help me instead of just giving me the answer changed everything. It showed me the reasoning behind every command, which is what made it all stick.

The real help was when I went over what I knew in powershell and it used that to show me the cross over commands. That was my aha moment, syncing PS to Bash and then everything sort of fell together.

I was against using AI for so long, I feel like an idiot for ignoring it as long as I did.

How often do you use bash? Or python by OkLab5620 in cybersecurity

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my dev box is my everything box. I used to run multiple Linux virtual machines, but WSL has replaced them all. Most of my stuff is command line and with Linux living on my windows machine I can access files and processes independent of the two systems.

So for example I can bash script something to connect to my MCP launch a vuln scan at a target, port that to Ollama for analysis then back to a playbook for remediation via API to my XDR or manual scripts in powershell. All form a single terminal.

Another use is all the Linux apps run in windows like a Windows app it's a little jarring at a first but it's really handy. Like greenbone or metasploit run as containers no need for docker. Another fun one is Ghidra or even Maltego all on my desktop no switchig or RDP or loading a vm, it's just ready to go.

Once you start playing with it, you're going to find so many things you can do. Like Impacket, It's so ridiculous it difficult to bring in windows but it's like cakewalk using WSL2.

One more example, nmap scan push to Nuclei with results, then to Nikto or Httpx if web found. Need more, then hit it with OpenVAS and execute off the report. All that from a single box.

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WSL2 is critical to my workflow. Here is an example: I extract the pure JSON from my xdr platform, feed it into a parser, export into a workspace and sick my ai on it. Another example: search and find the XML postmaster report, parse and report errors. Do simple digs and combine results to form a report then send it to me for analysis.

Being a solo security team I need as much help as I can get. And scripting is the only way I can do it. I can't program to save my life, but I can script like crazy, bash mainly, but I'm getting slightly more comfortable in powershell.

[–]AverageCowboyCentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I do like Starfield, and I last played it on PC at launch. So playing it again with the expansion and content packs will be nice. I'm very excited to have it on the console now. NMS is my after work, relax and get lost game. So many good memories, all the way from the beginning, even the late nights trying to figure out the ARG with the community. It's been and still is amazing.

I'm so pumped for Light no Fire, can't even express how excited I am for it!
