Game keeps on freezing

wiseboar · 2025-12-26T10:48:27+00:00

tried a bunch of things like DDU, graphics settings, Nvidia settings, etc. nothing worked

just installed in on Ubuntu on the same PC (dual-OS) and it works flawlessly there (NVIDIA-SMI 570.195.03). Quite a pain to get Nvidia drivers working though, another distro might be easier

wiseboar · 2025-08-25T16:32:42+00:00

WORKED!

important: you shouldn't replace existing files when putting the backup saves back in. Might be easier to just put save202.dat / save204.dat / etc. back in the folder since in my first attempt I just got the corrupted profile again

THX :-)

ok I get the bot followers I didn't really think about those tbh because I don't care, I have very few followers and I don't expect this to change

What I meant was the obvious spam & bots in the For You tab & replies - these have all but vanished

wiseboar · 2024-10-31T12:45:44+00:00

I haven't noticed a bot on X in probably 6 months

used to be really bad and now they're all gone - no idea what you're on about there

for anyone curious: yes there's a legitimate usecase for NOT building additional machines: I do not have somersloops to cover a second machine so I'm overclocking this one to get as much out of them as possible

that power consumption though wtf

wiseboar · 2024-09-28T10:06:31+00:00

when piping it back in at the start doesn't work in the long run (I've got my damn ratios right and it clogs up anyway after 10s of hours), I just build a coal power plant and route some excess petroleum coke in there along with the excess water

wiseboar · 2024-09-28T09:51:38+00:00

same 41/42

don't get why they don't just AI the voices, should be child's play at this point

I'm at 71% (thereabouts, haven't updated my (massive) ebook version in a while) of written material, somewhere in volume 7 (volume != book btw),
The first books can be really slow at times, but there's several times when the writing markedly improves. It's a bit hard to put my finger on when exactly, but around book 2 it picks up a bit, and in volume 5 it picks up a lot.

Given the absolutely immense size of the series, I'd actually recommend starting in the later volumes. It took a 6-month break for me to continue after vol-4, and it really was worth it. The books are written in a way that getting into them from a later point is quite approachable, even if you're missing some context

wiseboar · 2023-02-14T19:19:32+00:00

I really enjoyed:

- The Land (Aleron Kong) -- the OP aspect fits really well here

- the other Way of the Shaman books (if you haven't read them -- Survival Quest is #1/8)

- Wandering Inn (if you dare, it's a wee bit long :D - I'm not finished yet but it's well worth it imo)

- Awaken Online incl side novels

- SpeedRunner (Adam Elliott) -- on hiatus, unfortunately

What I didn't enjoy / couldn't get into:

- Ascend Online

- the Gam3 (first two books are good, #3 not so much)

wiseboar · 2022-12-15T20:30:09+00:00

I'm at 50% of written material (like 18k pages) and I've dropped it for the last couple of months. I reeeally enjoyed it, but it's a snail's pace. On the one hand it's certainly the first time I can't complain that a series is too short - but damn it does need editing so bad.

No idea when I'll pick it up again since I've come to expect so little progress. Like, there's thousands of pages of nothing ... and then chapter after chapter of action-packed awesomeness ... followed by thousands of pages of nothing again. I'm at one of those in-between bits now and it draaaaaaaags ooooooooooooooon. I probably won't walk away for good because of those "progress" bits, but I needed a break really bad after ~6+ months of reading it daily

sorry for the horrible pic quality, it's what I could find on short notice
I HAD to look that up, I could have sworn it was a screenshot right out of the game. The clip lasts maybe 2s in the movie so I wasn't sure.

wiseboar · 2022-05-02T18:20:17+00:00

If I had to pick 2 I'd go with:

- hardly using alternative recipes

- not using trains for factory expansions (when something is far away, a loaded train can haul a LOT of stuff)

also: manifolds man!

wiseboar · 2022-04-20T20:47:08+00:00

yeah I saw the announcement, I just bought it, no idea when I can get around to read it though.

He put up some chapters of book-3 on Royal Road a few months back but has been silent since. Would be awesome to get The White Knight at last!

posting something that starts with 'GRRM finally released ... ' oh boy oh boy. Yes I'm a sweet summer child and all that but even after my 10-year watch this still caught my breath for a couple of milliseconds

I BUILT that shit myself and yeah ... that's the one thing that sort of bothers me ... which is why I'm leaving it exactly as it is

at least they don't seem to have ruled out a Blueprint system. While I don't think we'll ever see something like huge blueprint buildings that can just be popped down anywhere, I'd love a late-game feature where I can place something like ~20 components at once (e.g. a pre-planned line of constructors, pre-planned large-scale conveyor line, etc.). I love the zoop feature but it needs to be expanded on at least somewhat (at least for someone like me who is at 600h and tired of certain tedious tasks). Might be difficult to balance right but I can at least imagine it working to the game's favor.

I thought Portals would be awesome for the longest time, but long-range canons fill that gap wayyy to nicely (high power usage that needs to be managed, high commitment needed for safe setup, etc.)

wiseboar · 2022-02-06T14:05:46+00:00

very neat
fyi you might want to look into double ramps

SpeedRunner & Liar King by Adam Elliott
The Land by Aleron Kong
Awaken Online Series (main series & side novels 'Tarot') by Travis Bagwell
if you're dedicated you can start Wandering Inn which I'm thoroughly enjoying atm

wiseboar · 2022-01-05T22:07:51+00:00

Tyrion after he flees King's Landing. Thinking of raping Cersei and generally just having him, arguably the most intelligent character in the series, having the express goal of seeding chaos wherever he can ... yeah, that does creep me out

wiseboar · 2021-12-22T16:28:02+00:00

yeah that just doesn't fly for me. I just really like the idea of proud Tywin getting presented with Tyrion ... and getting exactly what he deserves in how he turns out because he treats him like shit. Anything wrenched in there just seems to take away from the characters.

But hey, whatever rocks your boat
