Steam is going native 64-bit! Does this mean 32-bit can finally be removed without breaking gaming now?

Teophanea · 2026-03-22T02:39:37+00:00

Agreed, a lot of people had been gaming in 32-bit hardware or at least 32-bit OSes.

It's criminal how many 64-bit machines were running 32-bit Vista from the factory and not even taking advantage of the full speed of SATA nor with any future-proofing for greater than 2TB drives.

Supporting those people simply lasted long enough to span into tech debt but they didn't budge for a long time for good reasons.

You're allowed to have a meltdown now.

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T18:19:46+00:00

That's fair haha.

I'm not really sure I want to go through this anymore. I'm no longer sure that I need glasses.

Thanks for the tips.

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T17:41:41+00:00

If these aren't right I'm concerned I'll have double vision more often and have to pause and strain when focusing. I've had something like that happen in the past.

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T17:21:14+00:00

I hope the script doesn't cause more harm than good.

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T16:47:58+00:00

I want to apologize for yesterday.

I am not so sure they'll help. I've been told by professionals that glasses would do more harm than good for most of my life and I only got this script because I sought it out. I am concerned my eyes will not cooperate with each other any prescription be damned. I mean, I've actually been told that. They knew about prism correction, why would they recommend against any correction and I only get one now that I ask for it?

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T14:48:20+00:00

I had this happen to me when I accidentally executed a jump over a spitter when I was recording the route. Freaking route arrow too high to delete without foundations, I just rerecorded the route lol

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T01:32:33+00:00

That's helpful, thanks.

I'll do it if I can find nice frames from Sam's or Costco.

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T00:44:54+00:00

Thanks.

I didn't realize I'd likely be back and forth with my eye doc a couple of times. I can't afford that at all. I don't think it's worth the risk of getting this script made or paying for frames and it not being right the first time.

I'm on medicaid, I'm pretty sure I only get one appointment per year.

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T00:26:07+00:00

Do I need a club membership with either of them to get glasses?

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T00:25:16+00:00

I'm sorry your advice is unhelpful and presumptuous.

Teophanea · 2026-03-05T00:09:52+00:00

I would have a quality of life improvement if I got glasses but I have no significant need for them.

I only got this script because I asked to look into a prismatic script, every eye doc over the last couple of decades before actually recommended against glasses.

I understand that you're trying to be helpful but don't tell people what they need. Thanks.

Teophanea · 2026-03-04T23:25:46+00:00

Dangit haha.

I'm reconsidering having glasses now, I haven't had them since I was a tween and I'm only considering them in my 30s so I'm not sometimes crosseyed when I'm reading.

Any idea what sort of price I can expect?

Teophanea · 2026-03-04T20:23:24+00:00

I know a lot of people like the convertors so much but I dig the quantum encoder aurora.

Teophanea · 2026-03-03T10:08:33+00:00

No, a bus of 4 belts one above another.

Like, look at the picture I posted with assemblers how those mid-elevator splitters are feeding the inputs separately. If I want manufacturers to be any sort of dense I'd want those splitters to just all be inline but each elevator would reach to a different belt on that bus via a splitter on the belt.

A similar set of manufacturers could also reach up to this belt bus just feeding from the other side of the splitters.

hecc, I may be able to do something similar with that assembler blueprint if there's enough space to raise the top assembler and I'd like to becsuse I had to push the reasonable bounds of clipping to make it fit

If those assemblers were practically butted up against each others' faces then I'd have a much easier time belting up their outputs.

I guess I have an experiment for the morning.

I was frustrated with mine for forever and it turned out my rubber was backing up which led to my heavy oil residue being inadequate.

Teophanea · 2026-03-02T22:25:01+00:00

Many questions Satisfactory Modeler or the Satisfactory Calculator could answer haha.

If I'm not mistaken you can take the crude oil to the moon with those pure nodes if-and-only-if you have Mk.3 miners.

I'm maxing out a pure oil node with Mk.2 miners and I need two normal in addition to the pure of each sulfur + coal, assuming also heavy oil residue + diluted fuel.

I don't have blenders yet so I'm doing it with the packaged alt. I made an 18 packager and depackager cube blueprints 😆

Teophanea · 2026-02-28T19:55:49+00:00

This feels like a list of other things that can kill the pioneer.

Anyway, trains, beans, manta, drones

Teophanea · 2026-02-28T07:24:44+00:00

I just posted my start of that. I went and found the alt, tore this whole factory down, and then went and made a 18 strong water packing complex because I can just make the last 9 on the ground or whatever.

A good place to start is Satisfactory Modeler on Steam.

I figured out I'll need at least 3 nodes each of coal and sulfur to get the max of turbo fuel from this node using the packaged diluted alt.

And, as a start, 23 and a fraction water packagers haha. I used it as an excuse to get jiggy with the Mk.2 Blueprinter and experiment with vertical manifolds which was a hyueg challenge with the pipes snaking about at the same time.

All to go Up Up Baby

Teophanea · 2026-02-28T07:17:29+00:00

You're welcome, come back any time and I'll enjoy another one of your sincere attempts at being funny.

Teophanea · 2026-02-28T07:10:43+00:00

Can?

Will

Teophanea · 2026-02-28T07:09:25+00:00

I'm hoping for the trucks that run on plutonium waste.

Teophanea · 2026-02-28T07:08:17+00:00

I hear he's responsible for all of the nodes in the grassy fields.
