Kind: Notes

short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title

You all can stop with the “shocked face” crap on preview pictures. By now I’ve trained my brain to file such videos as click-bait or _low_ quality. That’s right, fingers don’t even twitch any more. No more clicks gonna happen. Even for channels followed.

Yesterday I noticed that my kids crossed the street from behind the school bus they just left without looking.

In the evening I prepared a model of the situation with toys and asked them if they can see the “toy children” from various angles approaching from behind the bus and whenever they said no I drove over the miniatures with another car yelling “Bam, you’re dead”.

I guess that left quite an impression. Especially the little one, after examining the “school bus” model further (a Volkswagen Samba van), went off to build a complete road system with paper and tape in his room and “trained” the rest of the evening how to cross the street – and even some more in the morning after breakfast.

I’m totally going to wait at the kitchen window this afternoon again to see how they’ll do this time.

It’s for science, right?

Apparently the growth of the was examined in a study. It’s and was released on the 1st September 2021:

A new build landed in experimental of featuring a new engine version with Vulkan render. That’s of interest for me on Linux PC because I hope to gain some extra frames since the need to translate DX to Vulkan is void. It also suggest to backup the old save files just in case but figuring out the path to the saves isn’t very straight forward. Here it is for me:

/drive_d/games/steamapps/compatdata/526870/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/FactoryGame/Saved

The number 526870 is the App ID on Steam. Depending where your library (steamapps) is you can work from here. Ymmv.
