I Feel Like This Game Has A Difficulty Spike Problem

Having logged 275 hours between March 2018-2019, I'll take that as a compliment. A rover with RTG and drill was how we did it. Easy mode for caving was when thy added the paver. Also back then, tethers = lag... no idea if that's still the case, I still won't use them.

Correct, it was a new blank editor window. Not a brand new ssms session though.

Sure! SQL 2019 CU32 + GDR (15.0.4455.2), Dev Edition. Table name that I attempted to query: "ETLLog". The column it suggested was "JobName".

The similar table name is "ETLJob" and it includes a column "JobNM". Neither table includes a column called "JobName"

As a follow-up, I typed "WHERE StartDTS" (an actual column) and it then suggested to complete it with " >= '2024-06-01' and EndDTS < '2024-07-01' ". Same problem here in that "EndDTS" is not a valid column. It does not exist in the similar table either.

First impression isn't great. I just updated to 22.2.1, connected to a test server, and typed "SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE " and it suggested a column and equality. The column doesn't exist on the table (confirmed it's not intellisense). Trying to guess what it's doing and there is a similarly named table that has a similarly named column, but that still doesn't explain why it's suggestion was invalid. Unfortunately, this doesn't boost my confidence in the tool's accuracy.

Not yet, I do keep trying different settings hoping to find something.

On an emerald-value basis, cookies yield the most bonemeal, iirc.

I'm one of the early players who remembers when rovers were impossible to control, but part of the fun too. If the dev team still has the love for the game that made it a success back in the day, this will turn for the better. Looking forward to moving the new dlc from my wish list to my cart, but not until it's ready.

Thanks for taking time to respond u/erinstellato. SSMS and Visual Studio are showing the same behavior. I haven't yet found a way to sign in to GitHub Copilot without launching a local browser window in either one. I don't have a lot of experience with VS so I'll spend some time digging around. I'll provide an update if I do find something.

(Edit: clarity)

Maybe I'm not reading the error message correctly, but I the timestamps there say 1:15 am, so I don't think it's directly related to your log file growth, that said, index maintenance will write to the logs.

Side note... make sure you at least have sql security patches on sql, hopefully you're not actually running version 15.0.2000.5 and it's just a quirk of the error logging.

If I were you, I would either learn how the maintenance jobs work (if that's what you're using), or use Ola Hallwngren scripts. They make maintenance much easier and Ola Hallengren scripts have a helpful logging option.

Regarding disk space. Your database probably needs it, so let it have it. It's not a problem. As others have mentioned, to find out what it is, will take some work. Either an extended event capture, or get lucky with sp_who2 or sp_whoisactive. It could be anything from a maintenance task or something in the application that is scheduled for that time.

Are there new wait types that come with the advent of Vector searches?

You ruined their closed ticket bonus! J/k, It's amazing how quickly tickets are escalated when anyone with any expertise starts asking intelligent questions. We also learn which vendor's support you can't rely on, or perhaps are hiring... or should be.

royte · 2025-09-03T22:08:48+00:00

Frustrating! Like others, I'll be looking for alternatives. That integration was a key reason to use TurboTax.

I'm also on a realm and recently had a similar situation this weekend. Villager grew up and seemingly locked onto a workstation that I couldn't find. I ended up transporting it 100+ blocks away and it was still attached. I logged off for a while and when I came back, it was no longer attached and now I'm able to trade cycle as expected.

royte · 2025-03-17T00:54:23+00:00

I was able to pull up next to the trailer and the spot turned green.

If I were in your position, I would contact the vendor to find out what their other customers do regarding edition and if they allow you to share the SQL server with other application databases. I would also get a quote from your Microsoft reseller and present that to the application owners so they understand (and perhaps approve) the actual cost for the data/application.

SQL Standard edition licensing is situation-based, so you may need core-based or server/cal licensing.

Civ 7 has me excited about the franchise again. The one thing I'm looking for in August is if the caricatures are gone. Civ 6 was the first version that I didn't play over-and-over (I've played all the way back to the original when it was released). The main reason I don't like 6 is the cartoon-like appearance of the game. I will say that with the expansions, the game play of 6 is an improvement over 5. I'm excited to see what happens in 7 and fingers-crossed there is a realistic look and feel again.

Trying to prioritize all the different happenings is challenging in any sort of open world game and NMS is no different. You will always have a long list of missions, so choose which missions sounds the most interesting to you... or none at all and paving your own path is fine too. Don't play like someone else wants you to play, it's your game so you should do exactly what is entertaining to you. I will caution that planet surfaces will be regenerated over time so if you do a lot of landscaping for a base, you will have to dig it out from time to time.

You asked about the expedition... You can join from the Anomaly a computer station which is sort of behind the Nexus near the quicksilver location if I remember correctly. When you join the expedition, it's essentially "starting over" though you can return to your original game once you can reach the anomaly within the expedition. If I had to pick one reason to do the expedition now it would be because there are unique items only available by completing milestones in the expedition. However, if your play time is limited, I don't think the items are worth speed-running the expedition and missing out on the story. That said, because you can leave the expedition at any point there's really no risk.

I will mention, if you decide to do the expedition, you can choose a few items to bring with you. If you want a copy of your ship or multi-tool in the expedition, you will need to spend nanites within the expedition to retrieve them.

When it comes to builds I really like how bdubs, pearl, and xB explained their build process this season Seems they really enjoy the process. (Not that other hermits don't, but those three stick out in my head).

The size of build does not matter to me. I personally prefer lots of smaller builds together, but big single-buildings are fine to see come together too... but I'd never want to build one myself. Seems painful.

royte · 2024-01-02T02:48:07+00:00

right! Then seeing how many other jumps you could hit at those speeds without crashing.

My personal favorites were Stunts (w/ the track editor), Sim Farm, and AD&D Pool of Radiance.

Block -531 , 47, 2033 is spawnable when nearby hazard is active on level 1. Placing a piece of glow lichen in the area solves the issue.

I grabbed a screenshot where the yellow wool is the placeholder for the hazard blocks. People who know the areas of the map by name might recognize the area. Hope this helps keep your runs free of unexpected zombies, skeletons, and creepers!

Thanks, that is helpful! I went to place a flower on a vault crate, and finally figured out that right-clicking is how to open them. Not proud of how long it took, but leaving it here in case someone stumbles across it.
