  • If I had to guess, the console was probably not unloading levels properly (software), and was relying on the save/load system to do so.

    By playing through 80% of the game without ever saving, you were an edge case the developers never intended for, and the console probably just ran out of RAM.

    Trying to load another chunk into already full RAM would trigger an OOM (out of memory) crash.



  • Two stalkers are walking in the woods and come across a guy with a giant backpack, face down, surrounded by various mushrooms.

    They check him over and he’s got enough packaged food, rations, and medical supplies to easily last someone well over a year.

    They flip him over, obvious signs of mushroom poisoning, old signs of mouth frothing.

    The two of them look at each other and one says to the other: “I think he was a prepper. I don’t think he prepped on becoming a lootbox in the woods, though”




  • I’m a Windows User (Hello, there are dozens of us)

    My laptop is Kubuntu (KDE+Ubuntu)

    My college laptop was Linux Mint

    My main PC is Win-10 LTSE.

    Why: I need exceptional anti-cheat support because I play competitive online PvP shooter games religiously, and Virtual Desktop (VR Streaming Application) doesn’t run under Linux.

    Should I think about not doing that and install Bazzite instead?

    Well there’s the problem, huh?













  • TLDR: I agree with you

    It can kill even a AAA game; Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 came out, a sequel to VTM after 12-18 years.

    No one had a clue and no one bought it for that reason

    The ideal time to release a trailer or promo materials is around 1-2 weeks (4 weeks tops) before the game’s formal release, it gives people time to adjust schedules and/or get word of mouth out or even allocate funds (if they need to)

    Half Life 3 could open drop on Steam with zero advertising and people wouldn’t have a clue unless the Steam front page informed them about it

    A certain percentage of gamers shamble forwards in a haze of marijuana smoke, whose long term memory or executive function may not be the best
