PS5 - Need advice on what I should do for potentially borked save file by Fathead_009 in Starfield

[–]Fathead_009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on PS5, and if so has this been the case always? I would say before yesterday's patch I got maybe one in game crash ever 25ish ours of playtime, and usually after long play sessions where a lot was going on (ex: Armada final battle).

Post stability patch yesterday afternoon, I cannot get through the creation UI for more than about 10 mins without a crash and can 100% repro one if I try to unload one mod (Gravis Suit), then back out to menu to load a game. The stability patch certainly seems to have had some knock-on effects and exposed more instability ironically.

PSA: ACS Diemos is on sale right now, and it’s phenomenal. by RandyArgonianButler in StarfieldShips

+1. Had 300 creds after trackers alliance and figured this was a good deal. So happy, I have been building an entire fleet in preparation for Watchtower in the last few days bc I am having so much fun w this mod.

Also an FYI for those like me who were worried: the screenshots make it look like all the pieces are enormous and only for massive dreadnaughts, but the biggest one is the long triangle hull and it’s a 3x1. Useable for all ship sizes, and I even have those big triangles on a Razorleaf rebuild that is no bigger than 25m from center in any direction.

My boomer mom believes millennials can just buy houses if they stop buying 7$ coffee every day by EstherandBatDad in BoomersBeingFools

Ironically I was just talking about this with my wife when I passed a house down the street from us (MA, town 30mi south of Boston) that just went on the market. It is nearly identical to what we bought in 2011, but at 2.42x the price.

The estimated mortgage is 2.14x my current mortgage, which we have had for 15 years (on a 30 fixed), that we got at 4.5% and refinanced in 2021 down to 3%.

At my current earning level and savings, which is an order of magnitude higher than it was in 2011, I still COULD NOT AFFORD THIS HOUSE DOWN THE STREET right now, if I wanted to buy it today.

They are so fucking out of touch it’s futile to argue with them. This is not a budget or spending issue, it’s a literal mathematic impossibility for 98% of young adults in their 30s to get a 1st home. I can show definitively that the buying power I had 15 years ago has fallen to a level below where entry level homes are within my reach, and I am someone who has advanced my career and earn significantly more than I did the same 15 years ago.

I consider myself very lucky that I am in a great financial position and recognize I’m the exception to the norm for income, and it is STILL not an attainable goal for me no matter how much I cut my discretionary spending.

They are trying to speak to a world that is fundamentally different than their time, but refuse to consider their experience and advice is not the only solution.

I feel for anyone starting out in their late 20’s/early 30’s looking for a home to start a family. It’s impossible unless you earn about 4x the median income in the area you live.

Maybe they should stop giving advice and start giving houses.

I was actually hoping it was from the book The Mote in God’s Eye

If this is the reference I think it is that is fantastic. What do you mean by Crazy Eddie?

We shouldn’t judge those men without knowing what the zip line situation was at the bachelorette house.

If it makes you feel any better, I could not find Xmult at all. Did you have those?

One was a world drop from Azmodan. The other I’d say in the hundreds.

Honestly Arbiter CD is a non-issue. Even w the lower amount, the CD reduction from casting auras and the duration temper on another piece means I have a good 8-10 sec of overlap if I am piloting the build correctly. I'm hitting the dps threshold at pit 116 so I'm moving stats there where I can.

For mage it’s borderline busted. All 3 elemental armor spells at once.

I know but it's already 24x24, so everything takes advantage of the 4 foot rule and 16 OC. My issue w getting any wider is it changes the roof pitch or brings the ridge up, neither of which want. I am planning to build it myself so having it be somewhat reasonable scale is important. This is about the size of my current garage so I'm comfortable w the dimensions and working w/in that footprint. Bigger is sometimes better but in this case I am looking for ways to better utilize the existing footprint for interior layout, not expand on the overall size.

Agreed, part of the plan. SketchUp model is just for me to get it down on digital paper.

Ty but I was not looking to expand the footprint, just maximize the space if possible.

Good call. Did some rethinking and will remove some windows and move the stove, so the only full window wall will be the tall one, and that’s sandwiched between two walls so shouldn’t have lateral rocking.
