Ok, Valheim peeps. Anyone have issues with consistent crashing in a shared world, which had been playing fine up until it started? I can playing about 5 min before the client crashes every time.
-restarting the game
-restarting my PC
-restarting the server (it's a rented remote host)
-logging in to a local host (seems to work, at least for 10-15 min?)
@BrianTMcClellan I am super frustrated because I've been really enjoying this game for a week or so but now it looks like my Viking travels are over =(
@BrianTMcClellan For the record, I took these steps and it seemed to help (just played two hours):
1. Set Valheim to run as Admin 2. Set Valheim's priority to High in task manager.

Ooookay. NFTs. If you know this already mute this thread.
Context: I follow a lot of artists because I love seeing cool art in my feed, but it means I get a lot of art world discourse too, and this is a big deal there at the moment.
For the record: I am *not* a visual artist. But I *am* (by training) a software engineer.
So the chatter has been, basically, that some artists have been selling NFTs for lots of money but there's a lot of problems with them and should we do it or what?
(For those who don't want to read through the whole thread, the tl;dr is -- if you're an artist, go nuts, by all means extract money from stupid crypto people, just get cash up front and don't base your business model on this being around long.)
Reading THE LAND THAT NEVER WAS, aka "that time a con man used Orientalist fantasies to bilk English investors out of tens of millions and also get a bunch of people killed," and it's fascinating.
If you don't know the story, we're talking about this guy, Gregor MacGregor, Scottish "adventurer". (Read: con artist.)
He fought in the Napoleonic Wars, not particularly notably, and parlayed that into a post as general under Bolivar in South America.
His various exploits there got a sentence of death from Bolivar and a conviction of piracy in Jamaica, so he skipped town and eventually turned up back in London.
But not as a disgraced general! Now he was the Cazique of Poyais.
Finally watched TENET. Note to self -- do not write movie script where for plot reasons characters must constantly wear face-concealing masks.
(It's a real problem. The end action scene is just this anonymous mass of people shooting at each other, sometimes in reverse.)
Honestly though I am both impressed with its cleverness and not surprised it didn't really land for most people. They do some neat stuff in a really understated way that leaves you kind of like ... meh?
It's some cool ideas but I'm not sure that it works as a movie.
Because I am a COOL AND EXCITING person I am reading a book about the development of modern managerial practices in the US between 1850 and 1920, and it is making me think @maxgladstone thoughts.
I'm used to thinking of the trappings of bureaucracy -- reports, procedures, and so on, as sort of conformity for conformity's sake. Which they are sometimes! And the book contains somewhat alarming sentences like this.
However, they come about in response to genuine problems!
See, in the pre- or early industrial days, a business was usually organized around one person or a small group, who could just tell everyone else what they wanted them to do.
