@pointingdevice oh yeah definitely. NTFS is pretty decent from a feature set perspective. In the past, I have had fun making files with “bad” characters in the file name in something like a GIT Bash window on a windows host to see what explorer did with them. It’s just that I messed up in this case and had a few files nuked. Live and learn!

So fun fact: Samba shares do not support the question mark as a part of the file name. Also, fun fact: ext4 does. Also, fun fact: when copying large amounts of files in KDE plasma, clicking "yes to all" may conceal the fact that some of these files are not copied. Also, fun fact: blkdiscard is effective.

Legit fun fact though: the NTFS file system does support ? as a part of the file name.

@ncommander that’s probably not a bad idea

Thanks to the r/steam discord and their endless patience with the community. Specifically notv37 is the real MVP over there. I will try to follow up with steam support to see if they can actually fix the bug but my optimism is low. If you encountered this issue, this may fix it but it appears this error message isn’t exclusive to this cause.

New cursed computing development! Recently I tried to reinstall SkateBIRD on my computers from steam but it wasn’t working. Steam reported a “content configuration unavailable” error. I did contact support and found it frustrating and unhelpful unfortunately. Ultimately I found out that removing the SkateBIRD soundtrack from my account “fixed the glitch”. How weird. Guess I’ll need the soundtrack cassette release…

A comment on an old YouTube video got my brain juices running and now I wonder: if one cannot repair a broken item with duck tape, then was the item even broken in the first place?

@charadon @lina agreed. This is the same kind of experience I’ve had too. My AMD card will reset periodically where my A770 just works. Incidentally I’m kind of stoked for battlemage because of this too.

It’s a good thing I’m moving and have gone through all my old electronics as a result. I’m basically sitting on like 6 spicy pillows over here from a couple decades of hardware collection.
