Project Zomboid causing high RAM usage and system instability

So I've been trying to stream Project Zomboid for a while now and every single time I play it the game becomes unstable and crashes due to high RAM usage (Up to 14 out of 16GB used), regardless whether the game is modded or not. I tried tweaking the game's settings and changing proton versions but it does not change anything. This happens on both Build 42 and 41 of the game.
Here are my system specs as per inxi

The game is running from Steam. And all other games I play/stream (War Thunder on medium to high graphics, Minecraft with shaders and mods) are running fine with maybe an occasional hang or two but nothing bad. If anyone has encountered any similar issues and found a fix then please help me out since it's getting to a point where I might go back to Windows, and I don't wanna do that.

[Partially lost] Hatsune Miku themed Virtual DJ skin.

I was looking NyaaTorrents searching for some old Vocaloid versions when I saw an entry titled "Virtual DJ Hatsune Miku Edition" no one was seeding it so I couldn't download it, its info hash is "6615cbae8731cf94415270dd2fac4efb5069d60e" which is most likely an MD1 hash but I could be wrong and the file name of the downloaded file is MikuDJ.rar with a size of 6.5 MiB. From my own research I concluded that no official Vocaloid/Crypton colab happened with Virtual DJ so I don't think this is an official skin for the app, it more likely being a user made one. Does anyone if it would theoretically be possible to try and find a copy of it, because I've been trying to create an archive of some of the more obscure vocaloid stuff with the hopes of preserving it and this is one of those files/programs that are hard to come by.

Note: Please exercise caution when downloading files/torrents, especially from obscure sites as they might contain malware.

Note #2: This is my first post here so if I made a mistake in the post structure please let me know.

Lost media?

I was looking around some torrent sites because I was bored and stumbled upon this (note that this is not me attempting to pirate anything). No one was seeding it so I couldn't download it and when I searched it up online I could not find anything related to it, because no official colab between Crypton/Yamaha happened with the guys at Virtual DJ, but a post from a now deleted reddit account that was also searching for it. Does anyone know what this is, and if it would theoretically be possible to try and find a copy of it?

Note: Please exercise caution when downloading old torrents/files (if you plan on doing that), many of them can be viruses/warez, if unsure DO NOT execute/unarchive anything, leave a comment here with the source if you wish to do so, I can take a look.

Note #2: If there are any issues with the topic discussed in this post (The rule on piracy) please feel free to take it down. Do note that I am not encouraging it.

A recent police bust found these shells in a dude's house, what are they?

So recently there's been a bust in regards to a weapon's trafficking scheme where I live and they found these in a dude's house, any idea what shell it is? (If I posted in the wrong sub pls tell me where to go.)
