VS code or in this case VS Codium crashes suddenly when I open a large project or repo.
Turns out, earlyOOM was killing it, since I didnt have swap, so memory was the only factor needed to trigger "out of memory".

Solution:
Enable swap, this guide could be of help.

If it continues to happen, you need to reduce the aggressiveness of earlyOOM or exclude the problematic app.

So this is one of my attempts at lighting.
It looks awful.

The skyscrapers here are lighted form inside with a point light, since they are hollow.
I am using a sun light too to make the general scene brighter, its too dim without one.

finally, one spot light that is linked to the humanoid (i.e it only applies to the humanoid) to give the humanoid more highlight.

oh forgot to mention there is a slight fog to dim the background, using a cube with volume scatter

::: spoiler Update 1
So after following some of your tips and suggestions, I have achieved the following result:

What I did:

• Use an HDRI as a base
• Change sun position to make shadows visible
• lower sun strength
• change the light color of the skyscraper behind the humanoid
• change the highlights position and color to match the skyscrapers around
• modified the fog, increased its visibility and changed its color and density

Although it doesnt look perfect nor great, I am very happy with how it turned out , and that is thanks to everyone here.

I am planning to make more changes, based on the other comments, like that comment that suggested bloom, so expect another update inshallah 😄

Anyway, really like the new render, thank you lemmings 🤍

Update 2

I have added bloom, with few lightning tweaks.
Its time to move on to the next render, this will be the last update. Thank you everyone!

Makes me frustrated and hopeless, Its quite clear that they do this for the male gaze and whatever its called, but that doesnt justify it and makes me very sick.

Not saying that beautiful characters are bad, but semi naked characters with unrealistic beauty which both have nothing to do with the game at all is terrible, very terriole.
Why ruin a good game for the so called" male gaze" or "sex sells" thing? why?

I feel like a hypocrite and a loser.

Not sure if indie games are any better, itch io is very good, it has great (hidden) gems.

But its also filled with dating games and whatnot, I didnt check the nsfw games, but I wouldnt be surprised if they filled the entire front page.

Anyway, Its a deep issue for me, wanted to vent, thanks for reading.

Windows 10 and 11 throttles and slows down EXTREMELY after playing a heavy game for a while.

I found a fix and wanted to share the solution.

Here is what to do:
Use throttlestop and disable BD PROCHOT
For me, windows doesnt know how to throttle my cpu properly and instead makes it go SUPER slow to the point that the windows itself starts lagging.

Then UPDATE YOUR GPU DRIVERS!!1
For some reason though, my nvidia gpu could only get the newest update using the lenovo vantage app since my laptop is a lenovo. SO perhaps try your manufactures app.

Now do a reboot and hopefully things should be well.

By the way, this issue only happens for me in windows, linux works fine!

Hope this helps someone, not sure if piefed could be crawled by search engines or not.

I am planning to learn:
Dart (programming language) + Flutter (UI framework)
Python + PyQT(UI framework)
Godot(game engine) + Blender(painful software that generates art by torture)
How would you go about it if you were the one to be learning those?

Any advice to actually achieving these goals?

Many enjoy the one dark vivid them when editing text, and since Xed is used for quick edits most of the time, I made a theme for it.

This theme wasnt made from scratch, first I duplicated the theme code from solarized dark and then asked an LLM to modify the colors to match One Dark Vivid.

Lastly , I modified the colors to match the original one dark vivid palette (AI made up some colors) and added more syntax highlighting by simply looking into other themes.

The highlighting is more catered towards python (I program in python and lua), but it should look fine across most languages.
If you have issues please feel free to comment below.

You can download it by visiting the link (Linux mint forum)

(The image above shows the theme looks like in a python file)

Updates to this theme:
1.0
initial release

2.0
Changed the colors of operators to look better in python
Added more highlighting for bash and python

I always preferred to use JetBrains IDEs, but the new ai-slop splash screen annoyed me and made me question weather should I continue using their products or not.

I dont know when they started using AI for art, but the new AI splash screen is disgusting, the previous code-generated splash screens made up of simple geometry shapes looked much better.

What options do I have now?

VScodium is good, but python support wasnt as good as VScode last time I used it, because official extensions didnt work. But flutter works well, so maybe VScodium?
