For anyone interested in this awesome concept, but isn't a Hyprland user, there's a great flatpak app called Nyrna, which basically does the same thing.

That is really great. I love the setup of the wrapper and how the dependences are listed with a "why".
Am I correct in understanding that the freeze mechanism is a "kill -STOP"? (If so, I feel I need to make more use of that command.)
Indeed. However it's necessary to use that command on both the main PID and all its child processes, otherwise you will run into issues like the game video stopping but the game logic still running in the background.
This is just a tool to automate finding the pid (via hyprctl or other ways) and correctly suspending it.
Brilliant!
Elden Ring does allow you to pause. You just have to open the menu explanations. But your point is still valid.
Wait what

Wow, I wish I knew this workaround during my early gameplay lol.
This is very cool. I didn't know about hyprland or game scope, so thanks for that too. My Linux gaming experience is about to get waaay better.
Learned something new. Very cool!
