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"
It's so you could use candles of different sizes from different vendors without needing a distinct candelabra for each one.
It's a genuinely useful thing to have because the small metal balls would always keep it upright regardless of the shape of the candle. You'd just need to match the diameter of the hole.
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?
