Ah, so I found the rules for this sub and I don’t see one that would have prevented me from asking my question.

The rules said no support for lemmy questions, which mine wasn’t.

I guess you could argue rule 5 if you’re being pedantic, the rule about creates discussion. Which I would argue my question did.

Thanks for pointing me in the correct place.

I guess “Capitalism” (image) is akin to my life.

I will try again, but I will say it’s quite difficult to want to play again knowing you might lose whatever you’re doing. So I’ve been on but kept saving every few minutes and I’m not sure if I should just do as I did and leave it until it crashes.

I’ve also been going back and forth between windows more than I would as I’m nervous about it 😞

If you could point me to the posting rules, I would be grateful so I can better find the best community next time.

I assumed AskLemmy implied you could ask anything, evidently I am wrong but I’m happy to learn how to understand the posting rules for each community.

I don’t actually think it’s the game that crashed though, more windows crashed and that prevents me saving, but when I try to save it corrupts the file.

I will have a look into the third party launchers though to cover all bases.

I am with you on I just want to install and play. I’m a nerd but I don’t have time to be a Linux nerd as well as an MC nerd too.

I’m glad you’re considerate enough to not just post a comment about hurr durr don’t use windows (as it really does help with this situation).

Yes yes Linux is better I know this, you know this, we all know this.

But… I’m a software developer that is dealing with nerdy stuff all day long. At the end of those days I just want a simple life and not have to be a nerd.

That said if this continues to happen, I guess I’ll have to go back to Linux but it’s been a minute and I’m just not ready for that rabbit hole as inevitably it will stoke the nerdiness and I’ll have to set it up the way I want otherwise what’s the point haha

Thanks for pointing out mods for auto save backups as I’ll have a look at those.

I agree it’s quite perplexing.

So yes you’re correct in that I can still play the game, like 90 mins after windows seemingly crashed. Once I decide I’m not playing any longer and come to save is when I realise that the whole of windows (aside from the game) has crashed as I can’t load the task manager or even shut down and have to just power off.

So I have duel monitor setup and I play fullscreen on one of them, but that screen still shows the start start menu (taskbar) whatever it’s called.

I will try those tips you suggested, once I’m less pissed off about the whole ordeal (which I get is silly as it’s just a game, but that game offers me a release from the stress of life and so I don’t appreciate the stress it’s causing).

I’ll update once I’ve tested. Obviously on a throwaway world.

Really shows how much can be made from handling search queries doesn’t it.

Exactly this, for me at least.

I was a failure relative to my peers in my late thirties, got diagnosed with ADHD and it’s insane.

So before I always wanted to be a software developer but I couldn’t finish shit, and just procrastinated and kept learning but never progressing.

Afterwards, I am now a software developer and working from a massive spec sheet has kept me engaged the whole time. I still suck at planning but give me a plan and I’ll knock it put the park.

What remains to be seen is if I still have the same vigour, 1 year, 2 years in etc.

Reverend went hard!

Oof.

Why should it be illegal?

It’s perfectly legal to photograph strangers in public. You’re in public you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

I don’t see people assaulting CCTV cameras for instance.

Sure some weirdos might I use it for nefarious reasons but if it didn’t exist they would still be weirdos using something else.

Boomers pull up the ladder with their voting habits.
