Hi, I’m Miss Brainfart.

I’m afraid of sharks, with the exception being blåhaj. What could that possibly mean, huh.
(That’s not a hint, I genuinely have no idea)

Lemmings can also find me @miss_brainfart:catgirl.cloud on Matrix, if they desire to do so for e2ee reasons

    I always start with the buttons up top, this is how you turn on the computer, after all.

    But you know, it wouldn’t matter if nothing needs fixing, I always like to play around, just working my way through everything there is to do, really getting down to it.

    How can I help?

    A common problem I see is plugging the exhaust and running super hot because of it. But it appears to be on purpose in many cases, and the result is rather interesting to observe, I’ve found.

    The buttons on the front panel may also need some fiddling every now and then to keep them functioning firmly.

    Some issues need me to go a bit deeper inside though, to solve them to satisfaction.





  • First I used Proton GE 8-25, then 8-27, but it didn’t make a difference.

    However, I’ve moved the game to my Windows drive in the meantime, and it runs flawlessly there. Which means the problem is not the game itself, so maybe Wine/Proton will be able to fix these issues some day.

    (The Spacers Choice Edition Epic gave away some time ago is also fully DRM-free btw. You can run it directly from the executable, no launcher or authentication required. In fact, I’ve found that many of those Epic freebies I got over the last few years are DRM-free. I’m basically a legal, official pirate at that point.)



  • What’s wrong with it? That’s the version I’m playing, and I haven’t had any problems whatsoever. It’s been great.

    Every time I go into a menu and back out, be it the journal, map, or inventory, the framerate just falls apart entirely, and I can only fix it by restarting.

    Performance also drastically lowers when approaching certain computer terminals in the world, down to the point where the word slideshow is a perfectly appropriate description.

    Now granted, I’m playing on Linux, and most other Linux users on ProtonDB seem to have these issues too.

    According to a few benchmarks on YT, the performance in general is a lot lower than the original version, while not doing nearly enough in terms of graphics to warrant it.

    Like, I know my GTX 970 is fairly old at this point, but there’s other games with the same or even more advanced graphics that run considerably better on my hardware.

    That being said, I do enjoy the core game. I just wish I could find a way to solve these issues.



  • Have someone else tell you what to do

    If you don’t have a someone, maybe AI can help you.
    Now, let me preface this by saying I have an extreme prejudice against AI, but I can’t deny its usefulness for breaking down tasks.

    goblin.tools is a good one, and at least they state wanting to go open source in the future, and be independant from OpenAI. If data privacy is important to you, than that might be something to keep in the back of the head.

    But damn, just typing in clean room and getting it broken down into all the little steps is undeniably helpful.
