  • Shogun tv show gave me the itch for Shogun 2 Total War

    The Finals 5v5 with the lads for the last few weeks. It really slaps especially when you bring a team

    Thronefall. They have been updating it a lot and it’s so so good. Can be very hard if you want it to be. It’s a sort of tower defense/RTS hybrid with a player character who can run around on a horse and help fight. Game is like 10 bucks or something I think. It’s cheap

    Fallout 76 should have resulted in prosecutions but it’s actually really good now, only took 6 years. Still not good solo














  • That really helped! I still got a few crashes, but it was like a weird bug after walking some distance and then using the pipboy. Luckily I could just alt-tab, save, and then the next pip boy open would actually crash the game. I never got an instant CTD which the 2GB limit definitely used to cause. So I lost zero progress in the whole night of playing


  • Found a very interesting YouTube comment that makes a ton of sense - why I used to be able to play New Vegas but can’t anymore.

    A 32-bit app on Windows is almost always limited to 2 GB (2,048 MB) of memory for both itself and any libraries (aka “.DLL files”) it needs to run, and the memory taken up by those libraries is not shown in process manager. This was adequate at the time FNV was released, but in the intervening dozen plus years, the memory required by these libraries has grown quite a lot. On Windows 10, they take up nearly half of the memory available, which is why FNV crashes when it has reached about 1,000 MB, and needs to allocate more.

    So even though you have plenty of ram, the 2GB cap has to be shared by the game along with the much larger processes that windows 10/11 use compared to Windows XP/7, which are needed to run the game.
