Help! Screen goes static while playing game (lemmings.world)

Hi, My Pixel 7 screen goes like a static TV screen (image in link) since last night. Sometimes just locking and unlocking the phone fixes it, other times have to restart the phone. Everytime this happens, I've been playing a game. All other apps work fine and haven't seen this outside the game. Is my GPU screwed?

I'd recommend you create your instance and defederate from the 58.99%. Wouldn't miss you the slightest!

If there is one thing you can change about Lemmy, what would it be? by whiskers in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Hide read posts only from the frontage. There should be an option to have them visible in their community itself to refer back later.

Is it just me or is Starfield kinda meh? by whiskers in c/starfield@lemmy.zip

I agree about the loading screens. It didn't drive me crazy but would have been better if there were fewer.

In regards to combat, I like it. Even many of the reviewers felt combat was one of the good things.

Lets talk about physics of the speed of spaceship (self.starfield)

In reality, there is (almost) no force to reduce speed in space.

It was quite unituitive to me in the beginning that when I boost the spaceship, it works lke a car on earth rather than a spaceship. I'd have liked the spaceship to continue to gain speed when either the boost was applied or you continue to throttle the engine. They could have kept a fuel limit to keep the speed in check.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you have liked this to be more based in reality or prefer the familiar car based speed/acceleration that's in the game?

India's Chandrayaan-3 becomes the first space mission to land near the south pole of the Moon by whiskers in c/world@lemmy.world

ISRO took the fuel efficient route. That's why a mission launched in July is landing now. Russia's crashed lander reached moon in ~13 days. They are already quite concious of spending their research grants wisely.

I'm surprised by these people who bring up their hatred filled political agenda at every opportunity. Why don't you go start an India bashing circle jerk community or instance and please remain there.

Live updates: Chandrayaan-3 successfully lands on Moon's south pole by whiskers in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

From a Reuters article:

The Chandrayaan-3 is aimed at the lunar south pole, a region with water ice, or frozen water, that could be a source of oxygen, fuel and water for future moon missions or a more permanent moon colony.

If it lands successfully, the Chandrayaan-3 is expected to remain functional for two weeks, running a series of experiments including a spectrometer analysis of the mineral composition of the lunar surface.

Edit: This is going to be the site of US' Artemis-III mission as well. So NASA would be very keen to know about the findings out of this rover and lander.

Thank you for this, worked like a charm!

Has anyone else found firefox absurdly slow on android? by whiskers in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

[-] whiskers 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nope, it's very snappy for me. I use both Firefox and Mull on Android with ublock.

Clear cache/app data and try again?
