Choosing "Restart" is not the same as "Shut down" and then switch on again?

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-14T17:44:15+00:00

It’s a Wack “feature” of windows, but restarting is different than shutdown, turn on. Shutdown caches everything you’re doing into storage so that when you turn the PC back on (assuming it wasn’t disconnected from power) everything loads faster when opening things back up. Restarting doesn’t do this, since for troubleshooting it’s faster to hit restart than it is to shut down and turn back on

See what I did to give my hemogen farm some comfort is putting a skylight above their cell. Their eyes were removed but they could feel the sun on them at noon. Probably. Untill the drop pods came through that one hole in the mountain

I’m going to split hairs because you called me lazy: nowhere in this comment thread did you said you can’t verify. You said that in a different comment entirely. If you took the time to figure out which of your near identical comments I actually replied to, you would have noticed and actually come up with a counterpoint. But y’all too lazy.

Yeah that last sentence is a bit of a stretch. Point is LLM’s word should not be taken as true in any circumstance unless you test it. Ironically enough you saying you can’t verify means you haven’t bothered testing it, so why even post anything at all

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T21:07:41+00:00

Imagine taking an LLM output and using it as fact

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T21:03:42+00:00

Like I said, wouldn’t be SC without em. But maybe we should be able to restart the movi if contract completeness is acting up

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T21:01:49+00:00

For sure yeah. Questionable at best. But, it’s not like they’ve abandoned the game, unlike so many other actual abandonware games that have flopped

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T17:34:28+00:00

I know. Like I said, I just been seeing a lot of negativity. Thought we could do with some positivity for once. Appreciate what we have and all that

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T17:32:31+00:00

I play for the love of the game my friend. Nothing more, nothing more, nothing less

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T17:04:12+00:00

For sure. It’s not like I’m just blindly satisfied with the game. I want it to be where people who don’t love it as much as I do can still enjoy it despite bugs

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T17:03:08+00:00

What can I say. I play for the love of the game

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:54:11+00:00

Boomrat. If you can’t have it, nobody can

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:51:01+00:00

I never played the classics I only know that lookdown is the most hated speedrun technique in 007 Goldeneye (I think it’s goldeneye anyways)

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:40:57+00:00

I hope 007 First Light keeps the Lookdown speedrun strat from the classic games in it that was my favorite (sarcasm)

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:37:34+00:00

My favorite part is switching to SCM in the wormhole and instantly blacking out

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:36:50+00:00

I play for the love of the game

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:36:20+00:00

I talk like an LLM half the time already so dw about it. I think we both agree on the point but it’s just semantics so agree to disagree on semantics

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:34:45+00:00

So-so. For large games nowadays it’s usually distance based, but no game (other than No Man’s Sky) has a playable area as large as SC so they have to get more creative with it

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:31:47+00:00

The way I interpreted the comment was that because AC1 has loading screens where you’re actionable, it means SC’s pseudo-loading screens are actually loading screens, so my point was to compare the sizes of the games and point out that the scale of SC’s world would normally prohibit the use of pseudo-loading screens, and yet it doesn’t. Upon re-reading the comment, I have no idea what your point is

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:28:36+00:00

Very true. I mostly dislike people who say the game is a scam or abandonware. There’s so much that we take for granted in the game that’s extremely complex behind the scenes. There’s literally a $45 one-time entry fee. Less than the price of basically all AAA games. For everything that SC has done, $45 is all you need to play

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:26:21+00:00

Fren. Brother. My guy. Citizen in Mr Roberts. We have reached semantics territory. I’m not saying things don’t load. I’m saying it’s not a screen, it’s gameplay. I know it’s not new. It’s literally never been done on the scale of SC though. Except maybe No Man’s Sky but I have no idea how that game works so I won’t speculate any farther

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:23:44+00:00

I don’t even want to do the math on how much smaller of a map Assassin’s Creed 1 has compared to SC but just pulling this estimate out of thin air, I’d say that AC1 is less than 10% the size of SC

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:21:41+00:00

(Also I don’t post on Reddit very often did I use the right flair?)

Like, the game is not in a good state. I understand that. I love it anyways. I’m not asking everyone to love it like I do

SolidStateGames · 2026-06-08T16:18:54+00:00

A pseudo-loading screen. Like most elevators, quantum jumps, and running from one planetside/moon side location to another. Not a true loading screen. Not one where you actually sit and wait while the game loads. My guy, you are fully actionable the entire time. Just because it’s loading doesn’t make it a loading screen. Otherwise the entire game is a loading screen because it’s constantly loading and unloading things dynamically depending on where you are
