This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
"Delete and re-download the entire game, but use a 56k modem."
"My God house, the game launched fine! But how did the 56k modem have any effect?"
"It didn't, the reinstall would have worked either way, I just wanted to waste your time as punishment for being stupid."
What about port blocking by the ISP? It could be a networking condition!
Which would be useful if telnet didn’t tell us the port is open.
it could be a bad RAM chip. we should start Prime95, check for ECC faults..
If she could afford ECC, she would wear nicer shoes.
Absolutely false. Everyone I know with ecc ram would sell their shoes for more if they could.
Check the NAT!
What about 12VHPWR syndrome? Spontaneous GPU power connector inflammation could explain why other games are affected es well...
Whenever my games start causing crashes I replug my 4070Ti power cable and it runs again for 3 months. Thanks NVIDIA
Everyone: what the fuck is he doing
Dr. House: installing NixOS
Flakes caused his issue. The user needs more flakes
I had the exact fucking same thing happen with metal gear rising, except it wasnt the drivers it was the wine config missing a ddl library for, wait for it: a fucking vr support library. A 3d PS3 game that doesnt support vr in any way, needs a vr library to function. Still pissed about that
Strong "I'm not printing that greyscale image, you're out of yellow ink!" vibe.
A House-like TV show about troubleshooting computer issues would be absolutely fascinating to me and a dozen other people. All along you thought it must be drivers but it turns out that the exact RGB configuration used on the case fans combined with the anime waifu wallpaper caused a slight over-voltage on a RAM chip resulting in game crashes and only Hackerman was brilliant enough to see it.
If you want the dumbass version, you can find videos of influencers without any experiece build computers.
i would watch that lol
I had a minor loading/stuttering issue in games that plagued me for months. Turns out the SATA cable was loose. I had no idea those could BE loose.
I litteraly have one where the plastic around the gold connectors have come loose, still works after 5 years but once I disconnect the cable, the drive is gone
What's the equivalent of "it's never lupus"?
"It's never lutris"
it's never bit flips?
It's never solvable with
sfc /scannow
It's never a .NET compatibility issue
I recently had a game tell my my NVIDIA driver was out of date by like a year.
Ngl I just ignored it, that's like a 500mb update and I'm just not interested in the time it takes unless something breaks.
Mate, how do you play any games if 500mb takes too much time?
Because I already have them and don't need to download them again. 500mb on a mediocre day is like 2 hours.
If you mean online games, I tend not to because they often work poorly. For some strange, totally inexplicable reason that definitely has nothing to do with my terrible internet.
How much do you pay? Is it DSL?
I have about the same speeds. I'm paying $65/mo, it's 5G, and it's better than every other option around.
It needs more mouse bytes to run.
House, type in paru -Syu
Still better paru -Syyu --noconfirm
I love this comment section
I hate Safe Mode.
I had this same fucking situation recently in an issue on GitHub.
It wasn't the drivers.
Does anyone else get a crazy weird robotic static echoey sound on Arch (CachyOS)? It's like it starts fast then gets slower and more drawn out. It is very sporadic so I haven't been able to record it well. It's happened on a USB headset as well so I know it's not my speakers.
Last time it was the drivers for me was Rage. That was some bullshit...
