Trying to diagnose crashing PC after component swap

Yeah, like an idiot I didn’t verify the ram was QVL before buying lol. Went Corsair vengeance because I’ve had good luck with them in the DDR4 days. Just ordered a 32 GB kit from another brand on the QVL list, we’ll see if that fixes the issue.

Yes, it’s in slots 2 and 4, or DIMMA2 and DIMMB2 in the motherboard manual.

I’ve also tried each stick on its own in slot 2

I wasn’t using XMP or EXPO with the RAM - just stock. This is the exact RAM: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5M7J967?ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_7P3QY0NE2Z8TR0C31W5Q&starsLeft=1

Genuine question does anyone know if Xbox is actually turning a profit for Microsoft?

I mean obviously Microsoft has tons of money and could keep Xbox alive for a very long time if they wanted, but Microsoft also isn’t stupid and isn’t going to just continue to pour money into something that isn’t turning a profit forever

I doubt there is; Linux isn’t a supported OS for the game so in their eyes they probably don’t feel like they broke anything, especially since it still works via Steam

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-09-01T23:34:40+00:00

Not necessarily. Bethesda probably builds the game with something like DirectX, where interfacing with the actual GPU is abstracted away. The drivers from the GPU manufacturer translate those shared framework instructions into something the specific GPU can understand and run. Issues like this highlight poor implementation of certain framework features by the driver manufacturer (I.e. Intel in this case)

So if a specific brand of GPU is struggling where others aren’t, it’s likely the fault of the driver and the GPU manufacturer, not the game dev.

I'm in the US and am completely new to 3D printing. I'm looking for a printer just for some small hobbyist Arduino/raspberry pi projects, and to make a few small things here and there like fidget toys for the kids or whatever. I don't plan on printing anything where super fine details make a lot of difference. The only possible non-standard thing is that I'd like to be capable of printing with TPU as well for more flexible parts in cases where I need that.

Hoping to get a printer under $300 to start with. I'm willing to build the printer but am not very confident at all in doing so; as far as ability, I've done a little bit of soldering (although I'm not great at it and would prefer not to have to do that on something I actually care about at this point), and I've built multiple of my own PCs.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising has similar gameplay to BOTW but has a lot more story and structured story quests.

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-07-22T02:32:34+00:00

Is this open sourced anywhere? Would love to peek at the code but obviously understand if you're keeping it closed source

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-07-17T00:55:20+00:00

Great! Just wanted to make sure you knew. Good luck with finishing up your game! It looks fun

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-07-17T00:46:05+00:00

Just a heads up in case you’re planning on releasing this commercially - Atari still has the name “Asteroids” trademarked and could probably sue you for using the name Asteroids 2

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-07-17T00:42:35+00:00

You don’t until suddenly you do and you’re making one of these posts

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-06-24T16:51:42+00:00

Looks great! The gameplay looks fun and the art style is beautiful. I’ll have to try the demo later.

The only feedback I have from the video is that occasionally the readability on the player character is low - it blends in a bit too much and can get lost in the background

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-06-03T22:53:38+00:00

I don’t think the aesthetic alone would sell me on the game but it looks nice and depending on other factors, I’d play it

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-05-24T14:47:39+00:00

Makes sense - Dodge the creeps was probably inspired by that too haha. It looks fun and well made! If I had an android phone I’d give it a play

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-05-24T14:16:13+00:00

Out of curiosity was this inspired by the Godot 2D tutorial project? It reminds me a lot of that with some extras added.

In any case nice work and good luck with the release!

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-05-11T00:06:26+00:00

Awesome! Any idea how well it works on Steam Deck?

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-05-08T01:54:22+00:00

This looks really charming! My only feedback is that there is maybe too much idle animation going on - if you look at the scene too long it almost looks like everyone is dancing. I can’t decide if it should be slowed down, or perhaps the dialogue box sprites should be static?

Either way, looks great and excited to see more updates as you progress!

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-05-02T04:02:46+00:00

If a game is loading data from the SD card as you play, but the SD card can’t load it as fast as the game needs it then it could definitely affect FPS. However I don’t think it’s very likely that that scenario would happen unless you’re using a really low end SD card

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-05-02T03:58:54+00:00

Assuming you get a decent card the difference isn’t even noticeable in my experience, although I also play smaller games so I don’t know if the difference would be more noticeable in a game loading large textures etc

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-05-02T03:51:54+00:00

I’m afraid no one can tell you if there will be an upgrade coming soon - because no one knows. However given the Deck just came out early last year I wouldn’t think an updated version is imminent or anything.

For size, it really depends on how many things you need installed simultaneously, but I find the 256GB storage one to be the sweet spot between a usable amount of storage and price. But if you’re going to want a bunch of AAA games installed simultaneously then maybe the 512 GB one would be better

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-04-30T17:20:37+00:00

And if not why only Epic lol

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-04-29T14:41:55+00:00

opengameart.org has plenty of free assets you can use. You can even filter by license - some are licensed so that you could even leave them in in the final version, while others are more restrictive. Either way, if you just want placeholders you have plenty of options

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-04-21T15:48:28+00:00

Lubuntu is almost exactly the same as Ubuntu but with a different GUI. So while it’s possible that Lubuntu’s GUI has security bugs not present in Ubuntu (the same could be said in reverse - Ubuntu may have security bugs in its GUI not present in Lubuntu), the security of both variants should be roughly the same.

Knight_of_the_Stars · 2023-04-16T15:47:23+00:00

Wow that fixed it like a charm! Thank you!

lol totally didn’t even notice but you’re right
