    Yeah, I'm going to continue down this route @Lanx It looks like I'm not alone here. My CPU and GPU temps are great now, but I think one or more of the thermal pads needs to be replaced. I ordered that Thermal Grizzly pad, and 1mm Thermalright thermal pads. When I bought this, I got the...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    You personally did not like the remaster, but... let me get this straight. You personally did NOT play the remaster? Do you understand what "personally" means?!

    I think my Lenovo Legion 7 just kicked the bucket. Sometimes it shows the Lenovo graphic on bootup, sometimes it doesn't. It'll boot to windows and if I don't log in, it'll stay fine forever. When I log in though, it will crash at some point in the next minute or so. I got a memtest usb boot...

    Playstation 5

    I guess I'm getting a PS5 Pro. The CC rewards program I'm in had Best Buy cards, $50 for $40 worth of points. I was able to get a $500 one and a $250 one for $600 worth of points. 20% off isn't bad. Not sure what else I'd get at Best Buy. I can't recall the business the other promotion was with...

    Battlefield 6

    I really miss server browsers. I played Q2 rocket arena for over a decade off and on, because I played on only 3 or 4 servers, and I could look at the connected user list and see who was playing, and if it was "the usual group". Not looking to join a 3some or a 4some and team up, but look at the...

    I have a coworker looking at the same general area. I can share a summary of his research. Basically, he decided on the Idaho side, and he's looking as far SW as Idaho Falls, following 26 towards Alpine (south of Jackson) and the second prong is NW, Rexburg to St Anthony, eastward on 33.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I was thinking about this stuff as I replayed Black Flag this past winter on my PS4. Each time you fire it up it connects to Ubisoft to check for whatever… I was wondering how long until that step fails. They need to patch it out - there’s no news or updates coming anymore.

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    I just played this for the first time. Made it to the second save point and called it due to having shit to do. There isn't a jump button. You don't time shit. You just hold down A and run forward and it jumps for you. Did all of the tutorial just fine. Combat seems fine, although I don't fully...

    Lords of the Fallen

    I can't be the first to dub this genre as such, but here it is: Dad Souls. This is the Dad Souls genre. And I'm completely okay with it, as I can actually play and progress starting at 9:30pm after being wiped out at practice and so forth after working all day.

    Fun, reasonably home buying related news... The county reassessed the two parcels I own. ~1 acres, 2023 value 46,500, 2024 value is now 60,000 ~4 acres, 2023 value 431,500, 2024 value is now 628,000. Nearly 700k for 5 acres. Crazy... this is land in Arkansas of all places. My estimated tax...

    I’m okay here in the Bentonville area. I‘ve been out sawing trees and clearing debris the last day. Really lucky that it missed my place, others not so lucky. I’ll pull some stills from my dash cam.

    No, thankfully... That's still around $1200/yr with the optional road stuff included. Since I'm on one of those county dirt roads I pay the extra.

    That's what I was afraid of. I'll call around and figured it out. Unscientific test, but I hit interior walls with a temp gun... it's 66 outside, 72.4 in the garage, 74-75 inside currently, both upstairs and downstairs. Problem is when it's 75-85 outside, it'll get 5+ degrees warmer upstairs...

    Garage temps are reasonable. Ceiling is insulated, it's all finished, painted, etc. If I went through the wall, it would vent to the attic on any of the sides. I could make it vent near one of the eaves if need be. It looks like this on both sides lengthwise... The far side (according to this...

    Bonus room above the garage. Garage is insulated and finished. Heat from in the house goes up stairs and collects there. I have A/C vents up there, but when the house is at 72, upstairs is at like 78. Other than a mini split, splitting my existing hvac system into two zone, or a console unit...
