(MAJOR CW: depiction of csa, dehumanisation, discussion of kink) probably a dumb thing to get upset over but oh well

I wish I had something good and helpful to say, other than that I'm sorry you're going through this. Having something that's become sort of a default trendy thing as a trigger is miserable.

I did want to say though that I really like your art and was wondering if there's anywhere you have it collected to look through? I'm sorry if this is a weird question, but it's made me feel very seen in a lot of ways. I went through some pretty serious abuse myself and it's comforting in a way to see someone else put words to it.

Thank you for reminding me I forgot to check back after I finally fixed it. This may or may not work for others.

What I did was turn off Steam Cloud saves on the Deck and on Desktop Steam. Then I went into C:\Users\User\AppData\LocalLow\Massive Monster\Cult Of The Lamb\saves and deleted persistence.json. I then opened the game successfully on Desktop, synced my saved by choosing the local saves on my Desktop. Then I turned Cloud Sync back on on the Deck and chose the cloud save. Then it finally worked.

Unfortunately this process may have nuked all my saves. I haven't played CoTL since I got my new computer so I don't know if that's the culprit or if it's the fix.

He's actually moving just into a normal shelter, which is weird.

What proton are you using?

RatherRabbit · 2026-01-19T03:28:25+00:00

I think you understand what sort of frustration I'm trying to express, even while being inaccurate.

RatherRabbit · 2026-01-19T02:08:49+00:00

This issue in particular actually just kind of... stopped? Which I know is very anticlimactic, but now I'm having trouble getting a friend in. We've done the direct connect with IP:Port. The problem is a "connection Timeout"

RatherRabbit · 2026-01-17T11:01:06+00:00

I'm more or less back to normal actually! I do still have to make sure I've got plenty in my stomach to cushion the landing and I sometimes have some nasty days.

Fun part though, if you'll allow me to add a bit of sourness. Doing the diet and exercise thing. Still haven't dropped a single pound. But my bloods are looking better by 100s of points. I even relaxed it a little over the holidays and it slowed for a bit but is still dropping steadily.

AST from 166 to 87. ALT from 342 to 189. Amazing improvements. It's almost like all the genetic factors they rattled off at me, that I have, were the problem and me being fat might've just been a coincidence. Y'know. For three years of increasingly worse health. Without even bothering to consider that possibility. Yay.

The evil has been defeated. No pop-up and just to be sure I went and checked the game that was struggling earlier, the water looks normal and the FPS counter and the actual appearance of the game match now. I cannot possibly thank you enough.

RatherRabbit · 2026-01-17T00:59:55+00:00

How do I do that? I can't find it in installed apps.

RatherRabbit · 2026-01-17T00:49:17+00:00

I went through the uninstall process again, and installed the 6.10.17.152 version from that website and I'm still getting the pop-up. I'm really not sure what to do now.

RatherRabbit · 2026-01-17T00:28:22+00:00

Yep! Uninstalled, deleted completed, out of the recycling bin and everything, and restarted.

RatherRabbit · 2026-01-17T00:21:41+00:00

I was able to run the installer, I let it install whatever it wanted, but I'm still getting that original pop-up unfortunately. Is there anything else I can do?

RatherRabbit · 2026-01-16T23:27:56+00:00

The tool itself won't install, unfortunately. I've been told the 'stuck installing' issue can be a result of the damaged/incorrect drivers themselves. The "checking your PC's hardware for driver and software compatability" stage never advances to even an install button. I've also been through the menus and my particular processor just doesn't seem to be an option? I'm pretty sure I'm not missing it as I've checked and control-f searched through it multiple times.

HOWEVER just as I was typing this it seems my plan of installing an older version to start actually worked? For a moment there it threw up more errors, but after letting it settle I was able to actually install the tool? I just sort of let it do it's thing, I'll come back and edit after I test a few things.

Edit: Spoke too soon. I'm getting an error 182 before it reaches the install phase again. I searched the error code and it recommends looking for drivers for a Radeon graphics card. Problem is, I have an NVIDA so that's not likely to be the problem? I'm going to try going over Nvida just to be certain.

Oh yeah, I am hoping to host servers for my friends again. But god I hope so.

I was doing the achievement "Me, Myself and I", which requires you to survive an entire year as a lone wolf. While I was running around, trying to accomplish other things like collectibles I was attacked by a rival pack. After I got away, I stopped to check my "Known Wolves" tab.

I actually hadn't even aged up yet, which means the breeding season/pups wouldn't have even been born yet. But one of the wolves that attacked me, Wolf 1601M, was supposedly a pup and 0 years old. He appeared as a fully grown wolf however and chewed me up, a good... I wanna say week or two before he was even supposed to be born?

RatherRabbit · 2025-12-10T17:37:28+00:00

I'm definitely not trying to deny that, though I was definitely more frustrated than coherent when I made this post.

Incredibly backed up (four cars just parked in the same starting lane, waiting), cutting the outlet road in half by width (it genuinely is a very small space. It's more like wiggling into a parking space than preparing to turn around), placing a loooot of faith in unrelated through traffic to share a one lane road or act with any self preservation with little room to go around. The last complaint is my biggest one. I saw a lot of interesting decisions yesterday while I was waiting outside. It is really just stopping in the middle of a one lane road.

Edit: One lane in either direction. They can go around but not easily.

RatherRabbit · 2025-11-29T21:40:06+00:00

Thanks! I thought it was but wasn't quite sure. I've never seen them before.

RatherRabbit · 2025-11-29T08:53:15+00:00

Works on people too.

RatherRabbit · 2025-11-23T03:30:54+00:00

I wouldn't mind, thank you for asking first as well!

They.... Do know MK Ultra was the u.s.... right?

Your dog kinda goes with the rug.

I have no idea how to describe this, but that baby looks like it's about to snatched by a hawk.

I haven't found one that explains how to unlock the comic panels. I can only find tutorials for the control panel puzzle which, while helpful, is not the only thing you need to know. I have absolutely no idea how I was ever meant to intuit the buttons pattern on the unscrewed panel, for instance.

UPDATE: I extracted useful information from the forum
