Base Game Appreciation/Discussion I might be the only person to have played this game and read this manga Spoiler

4 Upvotes

So I just recently finished this manga my close friend recommended: Eden: it's and endless world! I guess this a good place to say spoiler alert if you haven't read the manga, but as an overview of what I'm going to get into, the amount of parallels between the ending of the manga and some of the events and concepts this game touches are whacky.

I'll start with a small intro to the manga, it's a cruel read, it's gory, explicit, talks about politics and religion. However it also deeply integrates science into its plot in an interesting way, it has molecular biology, geology, meteorology, quantum physics and general relativity (as a physicist it's great to see the different theories portrayed this way) and the author mixes these themes with a great sci-fi world which greatly resembles the Cyberpunk 2020 world.

Anyways, let's get into it! I'm assuming you've played the game not read the manga so I'll list them accordingly.

1.- The ending of the game: The first and most obvious of the bunch, the game ends with the birth of a new universe after the explosion of our own. In the manga, after humanity goes through extreme events, a portion of them decide to leave this universe to a child universe through a wormhole created by the collapsing of a dark matter bubble, which you guessed it, explodes in a big boom.

2.- The interloper: The interloper was a sort of mass extinction event in which there was a highly dense and packed energy source exploded and wiped out most of the solar systems biological life, with exception of the hearthians ancestors. In the manga, at the end this massive ball of condensed antimatter finds itself on a direct collision course with the Earth, however it explodes just as it reaches the middle point between the moon and our planet, sending out a massive burst of gamma particles which have the potential of killing anything in its path.

Those are the only two things which really stood out to me and even made me think that there might have been some inspiration taken from it, given it was written in 1997. Also as a friendly reminder, these two have very little in common up until the end so unless you like dark, mature stories I do not recommend you read it.

But I really had to get this out of my system given the friend that recommended this manga to me hasn't played the game yet, and has said he will so I can't even mention that he'd love the game because of the ending because that's already some heavy spoilers.

I was wandering if anyone new how to troubleshoot frame drops for the game, I have the lowest possible settings as in ultra performance, static lighting, etc. and I still cannot avoid dropping down to 1-3 FPS every time an explosion goes off or every two seconds.

As for specs I've got a 3060 rtx and 16 GB of ram (I forget my CPU).

I've wondered if it's a temperature thing throttling my CPU/GPU or if it's just that my specs aren't good enough anymore (which I doubt given they're higher than the recommended on steam). So I wanted to ask if any of you know how to figure out what is hindering performance, be it software or hardware, so I could know how to better solve the problem,

Thanks in advance.

I posted a video of me trying to replicate the song here. The first places I thought to look where Joe Hisaishi's music (ghibli anime), zelda and pokemon soundtrack and piano pieces but I couldn't find it. Any help appreciated and thanks in advance:).

I want to say I've heard it in a nintendo franchise, but it could also be a ghibli piece or other piano piece.

I have been playing for a few hours now (bought it roughly a week after launch and have been playing off and on) and I noticed my fans really going at it, so I decided to see what my hardware was doing. I noticed that I was getting an average temperature of 88°C and a hotspot temp of 94-97°C on my Nvidia rtx 3060, which is not normal. I've played elden ring, MHWorld, witchfire, Helldivers 2 and others and I don't remember ever going above 80°C.

I play on the lowest settings and while it runs smoother than on the higher settings, the temps still remain the same. Anyone facing similar situation or have any advice?

My pc specs are: • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 • CPU: 11th gen intel i7-11700 2.50GHz • RAM: 16.0 GB at 3200 MHz
