https://xkcd.com/1994
< decided to try to fix a problem < has where one of <'s four CPU cores runs really hot under load. < reapplied thermal paste and reseated the heatsink, and the PC would no longer boot! Eventually < removed the liquid cooler entirely and reinstalled the dusty old stock cooler which had been sitting in a box for the last four years. And it works again, thank God! But now all the cores run hot under load

< is pleased to report a happy ending to this story. < ordered one of these babies shortly after making that post, and it arrived yesterday. < held off on installing it until today (given that yesterday was Friday 13 ) and now all four of <'s cores run at reasonable temperatures, even on full load, overclocked to 4.4 GHz (from 4 GHz)

< used the Web Archive's "save page" function to avoid link rot on that link (for the same reason that we upload images as attachments instead of linking to external hosts). The original link is: https://www.scytheus.com/mugen-5-argb

The cooler's brand name (MUGEN) reminds < of R4Y_ANC3L. < wonders if they're doing all right these days…

< is pleased to hear that!

The Jonster wrote: Fri May 13, 2022 9:19 am < also found something very curious about <'s profile page. For some reason the links to <'s YT playlists that < made on Rayman games work despite the fact that < removed the videos in the playlists from YouTube. < finds that really unusual.

< guesses YouTube doesn't automatically delete playlists even if videos in them are deleted…

PluMGMK wrote: Mon May 09, 2022 9:37 pm Speaking of retro OSes… When <'s PC wouldn't boot the other day, < was looking into buying a new motherboard. But it seems that the motherboard < has is probably of the last generation where the SATA controller can be set to IDE mode, and where Legacy Option ROM support can still be enabled. So <'s DOS dual boot would probably have lost quite a bit of functionality (if it had worked at all) and < is really glad that < didn't end up having to replace the hardware in the end

< has stupid problems very often with <'s computer, and < doesn't really get why. < has the latest BIOS, and every time < powers the computer on, it doesn't POST, and < has to hit reset. <'s PCI Wi-Fi card just works when it wants to. Sometimes it just refuses to work even though it's detected, and < will have to reboot until it just works by chance. When it doesn't work, there's an error in device manager under Windows, and some other error in Linux with dmesg. < can't recall exactly what error now though.

< wonders how everyone’s been doing lately?

Well, since you ask…

<'s job satisfaction's been through the floor these last few months, but at least now < is able to go into the office again. So the social aspect is back to normal, and < can once again spend some time in the lab getting their hands dirty with things that are actually interesting. But even the bad parts of the job are a distraction from the sense of impending disaster < is feeling about world affairs. Weekend projects and gaming also help with that though, so overall < is doing fine for the moment

How are you?

<’s day was boring today, tbh.

< is doing fine, busy with work but < supposes it's a good thing.

<’s glad to hear that!

<had very interesting experience recently
so basically < had a yearbook quote from Rayman 3 and < was honestly had a bad day + plus was sad about having to leave the school
somehow, someone said that they liked <'s yearbook quote
< doesn't know exactly who said what but knows that they said it was from rayman
<is thankful even for that experience and was able to talk to the person which helped <
<only saw them the next day and wonders if < will ever see them again
<honestly has been emotional about leaving <'s school, < even made a post here yesterday which < deleted
<again is really grateful for that experience and is thankful to God and also that person that that could happen and really help < out. (Please don't give me crap for saying that.)
<hopes that everyone has a good rest of their week

< totally gets where you're coming from, leaving school is indeed a strange and emotional time. < wishes you the best with whatever comes next!

<is thankful for the kind response , thank you.
<says hi
<hopes you have a good day

< doesn't understand why you would be tempted to.

< has noticed that a lot of people on Twitter are being urged to beg Ubisoft for a new Rayman game. < doesn't think that's such a good idea, encouraging a fan base to essentially harass a triple A company to get what they want. < thinks people should just take up game development and make their own Rayman fan games instead of expecting to bend over backwards in the hopes that Ubisoft will listen.

< hadn't heard about that trend but yeah, that sounds pretty counterproductive. < wonders if twitter mobs ever really accomplished anything…

< must’ve missed this, but…

…it’s ’cause <’s an atheist.

< agrees that while it won't change anything in the grand scheme of things, more positivity would we appreciated from certain fans.

< agrees that people should have a positive outlook, so long as it's not to an unhealthy extent.

< sent a moderator application for the Sonic the Hedgehog subreddit.

< would not be surprised if a certain couple of people here would be interested in the fact that < got a 3DS with a capture board in it. (Especially since Wifi streaming from a soft-modded 3DS isn't that great.)

< has the Raspberry Pi 4b setup to work with the Katsukity 3DS viewer so < could also enjoy the 3DS content on the big screen with minimal latency and convenience for streaming over to Discord with <'s capture setup.

Example is this screenshot from Pokemon Ultra Moon on my 3DS:


Other than that, < has been putting time into Pokemon Ultra Moon again, while also playing a bit of Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Games this year that < is looking forward to, would be Splatoon 3 for sure, and maybe Pokemon Scarlet/Violet as well.

< is just glad to also have played Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, since <'s a big fan of the series. Which now that <'s thinking about it, < should really work on playing Persona 5 again.
