Plenty of our real estate "investors" and "developers" who kept buying houses and apartments with those great (almost) 0% loans are going bankrupt at the moment. They also can't really pawn off their "investments" because they largely consist of large housing areas build mainly to invest in, and all the apartments in them have terrible room layouts no one wants or even can live in, as they were just built to be pawned off to investors who in turn would sell them for a 50%+ ROI five years later. Then the unthinkable happened, the ECB increased interest rates, and what was even worse, our government introduced a loan limit for banks: Private households' monthly loan installments must not exceed 40% of their income in order to put a curb on the rising private bankruptcies. Because all those great variable interest rate loans they took out suddenly went from 0.7% interest rate to 4+% and monthly installments exploded putting middle class families in financial duress (which in turn combined with rising prices due to greedflation is currently causing our economy to be stuck, who would have throught). Private demand is down and companies are sitting on massive amounts of debt they can't clear without the fake income of rising real estate prices. Housing prices are pretty much stuck because selling for less is not an option, and no one's buying. It is especially satisfying to watch because all these investors and companies paid donated millions to our conservative parties who made sure that nothing was done against the energy and supply chain inflationary shock of 2022. The conservatives let the energy companies (who they all have a stake in, mind) run rampant with their merit order inflated prices, causing a feedback loop of increased rents (now if that makes no logical sense for you, dear reader, then keep in mind that our rent prices are by far and large linked to inflation, i.e. if the average statistical inflation of a year is 10%, then rent prices will automatically be increased by 10%, and no, that makes very little sense and is just kept up by the conservatives because many of them are on the payroll of receiving donations by people growing even richer from increased rent prices) and increased labor costs, which in turn now means that while everyone else in the Euro-Zone is sitting at the target 2% inflation rate, we're still stuck with 3+%. Energy and housing is sucking up free income because there's no alternative, and groceries are incredibly expensive because three companies have 90% market share. There are goods available in literally the same store brand in Germany and only a handful of kilometers away for a 50% premium in Austria. Products actually manufactured in Austria, mind you - if that can be sold for a profit for 50% less in Germany where the income levels are very similar (if not actually better in the low income brackets that supermarket employees usually are in), then it certainly can be sold for a profit at the same price in Austria. What are you going to argue with? Transportation costs across the border (wait, that would make the product more expensive in the country exported to, huh...)? Can't be labor costs. Right, got it, it's greed. The regulartory body supposed to prevent the formation of cartels and oligopolies keeps saying they can't find any proof of price fixing between the large players. Not sure what sort of proof they're looking for to be honest. Transcripts of phone calls or e-mails going back and forth discussing how to best price gouge? Meanwhile the government has no idea why the right wing extremists are rising to power. Between living expenses exploding and the 2015 influx of culturally hard to intergrate people from certain areas of the world it makes me wonder: Are politicians in this day and age really that dumb, can't they really not see the forest for the trees or are they all just corrupt asshats best put under the guillotine's blade? Not that being dumb and a corrupt asshat is mutually exclusive, one just needs to look at the Orange Sex Offender.

A fairly poor but effective solution seems to be to just die. The game keeps going and the invasion ends without a crash.

Right, it would be a method of last resort, when Putin's forces are potentially closing in on Kiev, for example. The question is whether to demonstrate the capability in advance.

I’m running into the same issue right after the loading screen. I even sent my GPU to ASUS because I was having crashes in Dune Awakening, along with fatal errors in Expedition 33 and Oblivion. ASUS replaced a capacitor and updated the VBIOS to the latest firmware. That solved the crashes in Dune Awakening (Normal Crash), but Expedition 33 and Oblivion are still giving me fatal errors (The only games that gives me fatal error). It seems like the problem only happens with Unreal Engine 5 games. The strange part is that other UE5 titles, like Marvel Rivals, work perfectly fine. Now I’ve got another issue on top of that: Grounded 2. It’s frustrating because I just finished 100%ing Grounded 1 yesterday and was excited to jump straight into the sequel. Instead, Grounded 2 keeps throwing the error below. I’ve tried both the Game Pass PC version and the Steam version, but no luck. I also tried everything I could/suggestions and still no luck GPU Crash dump Triggered Grounded2_WinGDK_Shipping Grounded2_WinGDK_Shipping Grounded2_WinGDK_Shipping Grounded2_WinGDK_Shipping Grounded2_WinGDK_Shipping Grounded2_WinGDK_Shipping Grounded2_WinGDK_Shipping Grounded2_WinGDK_Shipping kernel32 ntdll My PC specs are CPU: Intel Ultra 9 285k Ram: 64gig GPU: Asus ROG 5090 MotherBoard: ROG MAXIMUS Z890 HERO Bios: 2006

I have a couple videos of weirdness too. 1. I had a stack of grass planks on the ground (20ish?) and my ant buddy couldn't drop any more. It would immediately disappear and then the inventory would go back to full (12). I had to move away from the pile before it would let me drop any. 2. Pebblet foundation pack I purchased and then at some point (not sure if a crash happened in between or not) it just showed up again in the store. Even though it's still available on my crafting wheel and I have some in my base. 3. I've seen multiple critters stuck inside geometry (usually large creatures and large rocks). And one butterfly stuck in the air unable to move. I used it to cheese an Orb Weaver, which backfired because it dropped my arrows inside the rock when it died. 4. At sunset the volumetric lighting is broken. Everywhere you look is the same silhouette effect in all directions around you.

Hi Im someone who has played Grounded 1 and I love the game. Currently my friends and I are waiting until ziplines come out and then we will buy in and play as well. I have some ideas until then though. Others may have possibly voiced these ideas but I wanted to state. For the community Garden in Grounded 2, I would love to see seasonal plants come through at different seasons and limited time plants for community events. Seasonal examples: Summer - watermelon and chili peppers. Fall - Jack-o-lanterns and corn Winter - maple tree sprouts and pine tree sprouts and also mint leaves. Spring - exotic flowers and strawberry bushes. So we always have access to whats come out how about a greenhouse thats tall and takes up a quarter of that area where seasonal plants are left and we can find a couple out of season? It gives more incentive to be on during seasons to get new plant types or more of a plant type so it does not take forever to get a resource. Also I get the point of buggys and I am eager to eventually try them and I get why you wanted to hold off on putting out Ziplines as you want people to actually try the buggies. Perhaps fast travel to a few places once discovered may be good. Perhaps by a hose flush system. Only it can be dangerous and you have to find gasoline to run the motor to keep it going? Making buggies or ziplines an easier choice but if you need to zip somewhere very fast you can. Or a teleporter but you only have 1 use per person a day making it not ideal to other options. Also opening up more materials to build with and different designs? I know you dont like the idea of peoplr building in boss lairs but if we could eventually work on a special material that is not easy to make with a chance of failure, cannot be duplicated that we can place in boss areas? Basically earning the right to alter boss areas but its so tedious most people wont? That way your not saying no your just discouraging it? Also the boss might still accidently destroy the structure? How about an underground biome that is part of a basement storage closet? How about being able to go to a house next to the park eventually that reminds us of the old one but isnt? Last but not least, a lot of games have the ability to take an armor set and place that armor sets looks over what they are currently wearing? World of Warcraft calls it "Transmog". Then you could eventually sell extra armor skins for various armors for extra $$$. Not pay to play but hey would you like neater looking ladybug armor? Thats a whole thing right there.

Right on schedule, crash number 4. Was just sitting around in my base but he snack bar ranger station (same spot as the first two crashes and where the save thumbnail is corrupt) and was in the crafting menu (not in a workbench)

Just figured that out 10 mins ago to and super annoying. Found your post. I just relocate door anytime I have to go through. Hopefully they fix it.

A flying buggy like a bumblebee or wasp would be super fun and would make exploring/building super interesting! Probably would be more fun as a late game creature or something to avoid story skips. Idk, ever since the buggys were introduced me and my family have been talking about how cool it would be to have a flying friend

I'd love to see some sort of weather system that affects your cold and hot and some flooding like the tipped ice cream cart. I would also love to see using butterfly wings as some sort of glider.

Help I lost my spicy Coaltana it is still on my hot pouch with 0 available but it is gone I have went and retraced my steps tried loading old saves and nothing if it was a weapon I could remake it would be no big deal but the spicy globs are gone now also

I normally don't care at all about game cosmetics, the last time I spent anything on a gotta-have outfit in a game was with Overwatch, dropping a few bucks for the Philadelphia Fusion skin for Reinhardt circa like 2018. But I named my mount General Ulysses S. GrAnt, and so I would like him to have a Civil War-era Hardee hat. I would also like him to have a cigar he can chomp on, squint into the distance, and growl out "war never changes" in jaded gravel-voice before we charge off to go fight spiders, but I'd settle for just the hat. Thank you for reading, I made an Obsidian account to post this request.

Make it mid to late game so you don’t progress too quickly by gliding to to places you aren’t meant to access yet

Specifically on 1 block high houses or rooms

Like to build tall.... A mountable hoist to bring large quantities of building material to the top of your base

I've been playing for roughly 10 hours now and have crashed 3 times. Seems my MTTF is around 3 hours. All three involved opening the menu or being in the menu. 1 - while hand crafting crude rope 2 - while using the spinning wheel 3 - while sprinting across the map, I opened the inventory guide Also I noticed there are no Buddy controls in the controller section of the Options. Would be a good addition.

Update: I think I have isolated the issue to being related to sprinting until exhaustion and then it's like my character never fully recovered stamina but does show and allows stamina use. Its tied to my stamina bar. If I dont exhaust myself, the issue never occurs.

It didn't say the year.

Silksong in 2 weeks. I cri.

Ukraine could build deliverable dirty bombs in, basically, minutes given they do have nuclear reactors and long range drones, rockets, missiles etc. For all but the delivery system Fiji could build one in weeks as well. There's a lot of radioactive material around if you're a state player even without a reactor, eg in health care; even smoke alarms have some. They wouldn't be effective battlefield weapons of course, but that isn't their purpose. Their purpose is to terrorise civilians populations. For that you don't even really need them to be dangerous in reality, you just need them to be dangerous in perception; and the word radiation provides the heavy lifting for the perception of danger. Ukraine doesn't use/ build them because it would alienate everyone except the staunchest NAFOids. Indeed, 90% of the discourse about them has been about them being used as false flags by Russia or Ukraine for that very reason.

The country looks like an economic miracle, and to a large extent that is what is important*. Mostly because economics is a spectacularly non rigorous field of study/ expertise with more similarities to religion than science. Same reason house price inflation was massively encouraged here- it made the economics look good though it was utterly unproductive and a very real drain on the practical economy because it sucked up all the investment. Worse, the houses were made from over priced materials and didn't fill the actual need (ie were built to appeal to appeal specifically to 'investors'). Why start a business when you could buy a house at 5-10% return y/y + rental with the knowledge that the government would prop you up? When house prices started to stabilise because no one could afford them the government started importing massive numbers of people to create artificial demand to keep the bubble inflated. Because economists mostly look at GDP nominal the fact that GDP per capita was actually dropping got ignored and then people wondered why everyone felt poor. Also why politicians and economists try and tell us that $10 butter in a country which makes 20x the amount of butter it needs is great, and everyone should be happy about it- it makes the country look like it's doing well economically. It'd be true if we had 1-2 million people and a quarter of them were involved in selling unimproved cow juice products like in the 50s and 60s, but we don't. Doesn't do much to dispel the old saying that there's one type of person who believes in infinite expansion in a closed system: economists, politicians and idiots. *eg you can borrow a lot more money at better rates because typically lenders look at GDP nominal as to whether you can pay the money back. Much like religion a great deal of economics is getting people to believe in stuff.
