I think my favorite one my Dutch buddy told me about was “Helaas pindakaas.” If not that, I also love the insult “droplul.”

Loading zones are regions in a game space where you have to sit through a loading screen. People call Starfield a loading zone simulator because of the lengthy amounts of time spent just loading and not playing the game.

Be autistic as well and give in to the autistic need for structure and routines.

The datedness adds to the experience honestly. I can’t play with any mods that are too detailed, nor can I use any mods that add super high res textures. It’s like the graphical uncanny valley for me.

FUCK

IT WASN’T.

I didn’t realize the cracked corn potential of my joke!

No, it’s corny! She’s always cracking puns and one liners, that Cathy.

The sequel to Sharkboy and Lavagirl we didn’t need.

Ja

Edit: fuck my original comment was meant for a different post lol

Aw man, I’ve honestly forgotten how much I’d enjoyed KenM from the other realm.

Edit: okay I just realized this was on the wrong post. Fuk

Any time, SharkFucker420!

It’d probably depend on the game, but see if there’s any source ports for the games in question. DSDA Doom, for example, adds modern wide-screen support to classic Doom and has heaps of fantastic options for different compatibility levels for different custom map sets. GZDoom is also an option if you want gameplay mods (shame it’s so inefficient lol).

You can also see if there’s any wide-screen patches for your games on the PC gaming wiki.

Literally doing this at work right now. Funny to see this on my feed as I’m actively shaking hands with danger.

Haven’t yet had a go at updating the mobo, time and energy have both been limited, but I’ll look into this when I can and give a further reply once I have a go at it and get results.

PSU is an EVGA 1000 watt model, the only other part of the build that isn’t brand new. Bought for a build I made in 2019, but hasn’t given me any issues whatsoever. I did forget to mention this in the post’s body, that’s my B.

Storage was bought brand new for this build, a Samsung 2 TB SSD of sorts, exact model name escapes me. I did do some testing earlier today specifically for GPU and SSD temps, and the SSD never hit above 43 C.

FINALLY had a look at this.

Admittedly, I haven’t checked the GPU temps until now, but when I read your suggestion the GPU could be overheating I figured I’d try moving it to a different PCIe slot since it’s currently JUST below the CPU’s massive heatsink. That won’t work cause the only other PCIe slot on the motherboard is right above the PSU, and there’s headers needing power, with the cables providing said power being right against the GPU where it’d possibly block the fans.

HOWEVER, I did notice a switch labeled BIOS OC/SILENT. Just to test the waters, I flipped that and did some light testing. Time is still a touch limited here so my testing hasn’t been extensive, but I collected as much info as I could. Figured I’d be thorough, grabbed CPU, GPU, and SSD temperatures.

Deep Rock Galactic: Before it would idle ingame during a match at around the high 60s, low 70s for CPU temps. Typically it’d blue screen the computer within 5 minutes. That was last tested maybe two, three months ago?

Just half an hour ago after my most current testing) CPU: Averaged 61 C, recorded max of 76 C GPU: Averaged at 50 C, recorded max of 52 SSD: Averaged at 38 C, which was also its recorded max. Tested for 2 minutes in the lobby area, 10 ingame with a swarm. No crash Overall, cooler CPU temps than the last few tests I had done, without any crashing. Needs more testing for crashes, however, to be thorough.

Helldivers 2: Before I flipped the switch, it never crashed during a match. It ran damn hot, around 70-75 C for the CPU, but never crashed ingame. However, when I’d close the game it’d blue screen after reaching Windows more often than not - Additional detail, sometimes it’d KEEP crashing after logging back in unless I hold the power button down and reset it that way.

After flipping the switch I hopped into the game, loaded up a quick match against bots, let that run for a few minutes.

Idling in the lobby: CPU: 72.5 C GPU: 59 C SSD: 41 C

Ingame: CPU Averages at 71, hit a max of 83.4 while loading into the game (CPU’s never ran that hot, let alone in this game) GPU averaging around 61 degrees, max of 66 SSD averaged at 43 both idling and max ingame temp. Crashed on closing the game, couldn’t see the temp monitor in time before it crashed. Had to hold the power switch for 6 seconds cause it kept crashing while attempting a normal reboot.

If a solution can be figured out to fix this without reinstalling the OS again, that would be ideal. I should be able to flash a Linux install to a spare flash drive and run it live off the drive to test the hardware further. I am open to using Linux, but have software I use that isn’t Linux compatible either natively nor with my efforts in making it work in Wine before.

Tell that to Hasbro then and not the random internet person talking about the game mechanic which the game calls Jail.
