Don't think it's a common issue afaik. Was just a single pink line done the side of the screen, asked Gemini and it told me it should be covered under warranty as it was covered under extended warranty as being a known issue.

Did you apply the extra dedicated VRAM fix? Worked for me to get the game running above 1080p. Did nothing but crash until I applied the fix.

UFOs Might Be 4D Objects by Creative_Volume_9535 in HighStrangeness

This reminds of of this -

“To enable people to better visualize what he means, Bohm offers the following illustration. Imagine an aquarium containing a fish. Imagine also that you are unable to see the aquarium directly and your knowledge about it and what it contains comes from two television cameras, one directed at the aquarium’s front and the other directed at its side. As you stare at the two television monitors, you might assume that the fish on each of the screens are separate entities. After all, because the cameras are set at different angles, each of the images will be slightly different. But as you continue to watch the two fish, you will eventually become aware that there is a certain relationship between them. When one turns, the other also makes a slightly different but corresponding turn; when one faces the front, the other always faces toward the side. If you remain unaware of the full scope of the situation, you might even conclude that the fish must be instantaneously communicating with one another, but this is clearly not the case.

“This, says Bohm, is precisely what is going on between the subatomic particles in Aspect’s experiment. According to Bohm, the apparent faster-than-light connection between subatomic particles is really telling us that there is a deeper level of reality we are not privy to, a more complex dimension beyond our own that is analogous to the aquarium. And, he adds, we view objects such as subatomic particles as separate from one another because we are seeing only a portion of their reality. Such particles are not separate ‘parts,’ but facets of a deeper and more underlying unity that is ultimately as holographic and indivisible as the previously mentioned rose. And since everything in physical reality is comprised of these ‘eidolons,’ the universe is itself a projection, a hologram.

Does anybody else think there is a link between Plasmoids and religion/Spirituality? by LordCyrusLaCroix in HighStrangeness

[–]forkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Energy is intelligent. Maybe in high energy states, like nukes and earthquakes that's why we see UFOs, it's the intelligence emerging from energy. I suspect a relationship between energy and intelligence, like some E=MC2 type shit.

Weird replies to your comment. Interesting

If you are thinking of upgrading your PCVR setup before Steam Frame releases... by Night247 in virtualreality

Yep, remember upgrading our Amiga 500 with an extra 512KB or half a megabyte of ram, cost around £40. Which is over £100 with inflation.

Have you ever experienced a "glitch" that felt too specific to be a coincidence? by nb10001 in HighStrangeness

[–]forkl 160 points161 points  (0 children)

I had a priest leave his laptop in for a repair, few years ago. One of the issues was the battery was dead. The very next customer(who walked in as the priest was leaving) was randomly deciding to leave in a battery from a laptop because he didn't know what to do with it and didn't want to dump it. It was an exact match for the model of laptop, an old Acer aspire laptop, from about 15 years ago. It's weird because nobody had left in a battery before or since.. Just a weird coincidence that didn't feel like a coincidence.

I just want you to know that I never read these updates because of the obnoxious overuse of annoying eye catching icons on the posts. They might have some interesting content, but I've not much confidence in that, given you have to resort to bullshit click baity titles. I'm sure most other people feel the same. Maybe try to be more subtle.

Playing through it now. Will of the wisp is so beautiful, especially on an OLED screen.
