Not sure why this is happening or which of my mods enabled is helping to cause this, but ive only recently experienced this issue,!
Pressing the button to pause the game only brings up a pause menu with text boxes without text (this also gets show in the slugcat select screen, although the pause menu cannot show there); the game doesnt actually pause and i can play like normal, and if i press the button again or hold it the pause menu stacks infinitely !!!!! (darkening my screen until i can no longer see)
even if i am not into a cycle for 30 seconds, closing the entire game (besides sheltering, is the only way to get rid of the bugged "pause" menu), i will still lose karma
