though still less than a browser with 3 tabs open

and no I don't use a chromium browser, I just really like my extensions

after making the meme I noticed that the cpu nearly matched the sims 4 level but the ram went to 42x less

don't worry about me giving money to EA, the game was obtained via mysterious means

Civ 6 casually 50% loading all cores in pause menu: 😎
- Better than 100% on one and nothing on any of the others.
Why would you expect pausing a game to use less memory?
- It should at least use less CPU. What work could it be doing other than playing the music?
  
  I agree with that, though I suspect it's still running the full render pipeline in the background but I was particularly confused about why OP expected memory usage to drop
  
  IIRC there was a game that when you open a pause menu ran at like 1000 fps, frying people's GPUs
If it was made nowadays, 2 GB VRAM wouldn't be enough by a long stretch.

And yes, can confirm with amdgpu_top, pipeline is still full while switching out (k-hippie 4k textures was too much for my iGPU).
Be happy we get 10 more years of that instead of a built from the ground up sequel!
- Who needs to fix things from the ground up when you can just throw in more and more code! You can just fix it with more code!
Arrrrrrrrrr.
