Unfortunately that's already happening, I know a few people that are hard to convince to play something that isn't on GamePass — I never insisted, but it's still a bummer that I need M$'s blessing to play with people I know, considering I don't have an Xbox and cross-play games that we all like are hard to find.

It's not about the amount of swap space, it's a problem that happens when swapping happens for big chunks of data at a time.
Windows aggressively swaps out things way before it's necessary, you can try increasing the system's "swappiness"; ~~I'm writing this from my phone, but when I get to my PC I'll write out how to do it (unless somebody else does it before I do).~~
You can set it by writing vm.swappiness=60 in a file like /etc/sysctl.d/50-swappiness.conf.
The value 60 is arbitrary, if you increase it the system will try to swap out things more aggressively; the name of the file is also partially arbitrary, but AFAIK, it has to begin with two digits — the system will read all the files inside /etc/sysctl.d in order, and the settings in higher-numbered files will be applied over lower ones.
Officially, this is the explaination of the vm.swappiness parameter.
You can read and write the value with your shell:
#!/usr/bin/bash
sysctl vm.swappiness # shows you the current value
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=69 # sets the swappiness to 69 AND shows you the new value
I think the simulation logic was changed somewhat with recent updates, because fighters are (in my run) really hard to ignore – enemy fighters hinder my heavies' ability to run away, and my own fighters somehow kick ass against the former as long as I micro-manage them to fight fighters instead of the Torment Nexus itself.
Unrelated note, regarding the Hatikvah's Choice front:
DANGER
HAZARDOUS REGION DETECTED
Hatikvah's Choice? I know that sector like the back of my hand :c
(though it belongs to Hatikvah Free League, iirc)
It'd be nice if they let me keep my jumpdrives though, now I have to do icky things like logistics and having multiple fleets defending multiple gates
Fake: X4 is not a videogame, it's rehab for crazy german accountants
Gay: weird, therefore queer, therefore gay
I don't know about mastering both, but Project Zomboid maybe?
It can be somewhat chill and even relaxing occasionally, but when it makes you anxious it makes you ANXIOUS (and queasy, eventually).
Cat's got a point though, I didn't know Atari was still around either
Understandable downvote count
"Sea-lioning" is a way of arguing in bad faith; specifically, asking for evidence or feigning ignorance every time the opposing party makes a claim, regardless of how trivial said claim is.
Nobody knows what BonkTheBonkTheAnnoyed thinks sea-lioning has to do with anything though.
Windows 10 and 11 really dislike HDDs, that's probably why you can't admit to using HDDs online without getting stones thrown at you (I've been there before).
I've disabled paging files (= swap) for one of my Windows VMs, unfortunately - to my surprise - that only had a small performance boost, and I still need to let the VM chug for a few mintes before it even lets me open File Explorer.
... but it does improve performance, definitely consider doing it if you don't need swap/paging/whatever they call it now.
