EDIT: It seems to have been fixed thanks to @graycube@lemmy.world. Running analyze verbose; in postgres.

After updating to 0.19.5 from 0.19.3 my postgres is often using up 500%+ of CPU according to docker stats and often going to 100% CPU on most cores according to htop. Also noticed in the uptime monitor:

htop shows one of the 5 postgres processes constantly on UPDATE. I think this might be part of the problem.

I'm not comfortable with postgres and am honestly completely in the dark how or where to mitigate or even pinpoint this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

It was ahead of its time. You can do quests and talk to people. It has multiple endings. There's voice acting. It's overall a very immersive game for its time. It is also the last commercial standalone game on the Doom engine.

And for the modern computers, you can get the veteran edition on gog and steam.

It's fun, though dated. All vehicles handle differently. It's not the worst game out there if you can look past the graphics and "edgy" presentation.

This game is a thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. What if you cross a racing game with a flight combat game and make it arcady as hell? Slipstream 5000.

This game is dumb, fun and has more blood than most DOS games.

I recently played The Dig for the first time, which passed me by when I was younger. I had heard of it I didn’t realise it was another Lucas/Spielberg game. I’d just come off a couple of other Lucasarts games and it was quite different.

Looking back it seems quite divisive, I think because it was so different to the comedy Lucasarts adventures, but there’s still a lot of love for it floating around the internet, and now I’ve added to it here if you fancy a long read: https://p7uen.neocities.org/posts/2023-06-23-The-Dig

If you've been meaning to play it, or always wanted to try it; this is the definitive edition to play it on a modern computer!

There's even a floppy disk version available.
