Help troubleshooting error log (lemmy.world)
 

Hey !rimworld@lemmy.world. I'm getting a specific error in the console and I'm not sure what could have caused it.

It seems to be related to the music player, but I haven't added any mods that alter the in-game music (to my knowledge). This is the error that is generating repeatedly:

Root level exception in Update(): System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
  at (wrapper dynamic-method) RimWorld.MusicManagerPlay.RimWorld.MusicManagerPlay.MusicUpdate_Patch0(RimWorld.MusicManagerPlay)
  at (wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.Root_Play.Verse.Root_Play.Update_Patch1(Verse.Root_Play)
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()
(wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.Log:Verse.Log.Error_Patch3 (string)
(wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.Root_Play:Verse.Root_Play.Update_Patch1 (Verse.Root_Play)

Hugslib file is located here.

I have troubleshot some mod conflicts before but this one has me stumped. I've tried looking through the XML extensions patches but I don't see anything related to this in there.

Yeah that's definitely how I am. I can tell what's coming and so I maybe just lose the "need" to complete the game.

I did that with Morrowind finally last year and just had an amazing time playing through it all the way.

Yeah same here. I have found myself playing almost entirely sandbox games these last few years. Where there isn't really and end goal (or at least one I'm not required to complete) and I just get to build something or manage resources, etc.

Yes, same here. I have the last mission (I think, "Meet Hannako at Embers") in Cyberpunk still to do and I pick it up and do a handful of side quests every few months. Maybe I'll finish it, eventually.

I can count on one hand the number of games I've finished in the last 4-5 years. Off the top of my head

  • The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
  • Spider-Man (PS4)
  • Red Dead Redemption II
  • L.A. Noire
  • Middle Earth: Shadow of War

Games I stopped playing:

  • Horizon: Zero Dawn (PC)
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Disco Elysium (I know. right.)
  • DEATHLOOP
  • Spider-Man: Remastered (PC)
  • Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
  • Divinity: Original Sin II
  • Dying Light 2
  • Half Life - Alyx
  • Boneworks
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
  • Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (I think I did complete this game once when I was 14 or so)
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance
  • Fallout 4 (I did complete the story to this a long time ago but I wanted to give it another go a couple years back)

RDR2 is actually one of the few games I have finished in the last few years.

I struggle to finish story-heavy games (lemmy.world)
 

I'm not sure why exactly, but I just struggle to finish basically any game where there is a heavy focus on story.

I seem to get about 90% of the way through them and then just stop playing abruptly. I think sometimes I do that because I just play too much in too short of a time, so I burn myself out on it unintentionally because I'm just enjoying the story so much up to that point. Other times I seem to be able to tell where the story is going and I don't like it, usually because it's tragic and I don't want to experience the tragedy I know is coming; It's like this sense of dread overcomes me and I struggle to continue. Other times still, I seem to just know the end is coming and I don't want it to end so I put it off and then forget that I was almost done with it.

Does anyone else do this? I feel bad for having not finished a ton of different games, even the ones I was really enjoying at one time.

Wikipedia is amazing (lemmy.world)
 

I feel like not enough people appreciate the simple fact that Wikipedia is essentially the most well-organized and complete collection of human knowledge in existence, and furthermore, it's available to everyone who has access to the internet for free in dozens of languages.

There are tens of thousands of individuals collaborating every hour of every day to collect knowledge and share it with the rest of the world purely out of the desire to document and teach, and millions of people spending hours in the Wikipedia rabbit hole learning about subjects that they would have had no opportunity to without it.

Wikipedia is amazing. It's the modern Library of Alexandria.

Unemployment after getting fired (lemmy.world)

Hello /c/adulting

Location: Overland Park, KS, United States

My wife was fired recently without warning. She has filed for unemployment and had an initial interview with the unemployment office today. They claim that her former employer told them that she was "not doing her job" but I have never heard anything from her regarding performance issues. They also claimed that they "talked to her about her performance" and she claims that they never made any attempt to correct her performance and was unaware that they were unhappy with her.

What does this mean for her eligibility for unemployment? Is there any recourse?

Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] wutamisposedtodo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I prefer it. The concept of federation has been hard to wrap my mind around, but I think the issue with current-day reddit is that many communities became so large that interactions between users and even interactions with posts that are more than an hour old almost completely dried up (or at least that was my experience) which made the website a lot less interesting as a social platform and more of just a time-wasting doomscrolling link aggregation platform.

True, but modern advertisement is almost always intended to deceive. Shitty mobile game ads that don't even show the actual game's content, advertisements for complete scams to get rich quick, etc. It's all some ploy to get people to go download some app so it can collect your data to sell to advertisers or effectively steal your money by misleading you.

Sounds awful. I am pretty sick of just not being able to spend a single moment without being advertised to.

What's your "old person" trait? in c/memes@lemmy.ml
[–] wutamisposedtodo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah! My favorite will always be Richard Diamond. Private Investigator but I love Suspense and The Shadow as well.

Oh and Gunsmoke of course; I like the show as well but James Arness' voice just doesn't match William Conrad.

Seriously, why the fuck has advertising become so incredibly insidious and pervasive in recent years? I can't go anywhere on the internet and not see ads or a warning to turn off my ad blocker or message telling me to subscribe to view the content. Worse, I can't even be out in public in the city without having another fucking ad shoved in my face. I was recently walking downtown at 1 am or so waiting on an uber and really enjoying the cool night air, not on my phone or anything, just enjoying the moment, and I saw an insanely bright billboard advertising something.

I feel like ads are just starting to really wear on me. I'm sick of consuming and being told to consume and being manipulated in the death throes of capitalism.

What's your "old person" trait? in c/memes@lemmy.ml
[–] wutamisposedtodo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My old person trait is that I listen to old radio shows and watch a ton of classic movies and shows.

I'm 28 and don't even know when I discovered this exactly but on archive.org there's a group of people called the Old Time Radio Researchers Group who catalogue and archive all of the old radio shows. Some of the episodes sound like they could have been recorded yesterday just because they're in such high quality.
