Melfice Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 So... No Man's Sky. People at shitting themselves over the $60,- pricetag. And I'm just sitting here going: "Dudes. It was flaunted by Sony as the PS4's parade horse. What other price did you ever expect it to have, indie dev or not?" holymage! and TheBytemaster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBytemaster Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Crap, my laptop's GPU has decided to go crazy on me. It keeps hitting 99 degrees Celsius and throttling itself while playing this old HL2 mod. I turned on Vsync to lock the framerate down, but it's still hitting 89. The only time it ever hit anywhere close to that before is when I was playing Warframe with the GPU clocked 25% over stock for long periods of time. Any ideas? This is a rather sudden thing. New thermal paste, maybe? Edited March 6, 2016 by TheBytemaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neowulf Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Doubtful. Unless you have no thermal paste it should only be worth a few degrees. Usually something like that is the result of bad software. Drivers or the render engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwwojcik Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Any processor that puts out enough heat to need a cooler uses thermal paste. I can't imagine thermal paste could cause a sudden change like that though, so my bet is on software as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do use thermal paste, just like CPUs. I forgot to mention, the game I was playing, (NEOTOKYO*), has never exhibited this in the past. And it hasn't been updated in forever. At any rate, I'm doing a full driver reinstall with a more stable edition of the drivers. (I was on the performance branch, switching to the boring stable business branch.) YETI: That seems to have mostly fixed it, max temp after a frame-unlocked stress test is a much more acceptable, (although still kinda high), 75C Edited March 7, 2016 by TheBytemaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neowulf Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Zootopia was a fun movie. The squirts loved it (Bell even joined in on the howl, in the theater) and there was easily enough adult humor to make it a family show instead of a kids show. Better storyline than the trailers would suggest too. Kinda odd to watch a movie that was better than the trailers. Now to await the sequels and spinoffs. I can definitely see them doing a Cops themed tv show. My only gripe is fan reaction. I know it's standard, but I would like to be able to search for cute fanart to shows the little ones without having to wade through the rule34 crap and "headcannon" fanart/fiction that frankly should never have escaped the noggin that spawned it. Seriously tumblr. When I search for a film name I don't want to see rageposting from someone angry that no one else accepts their headcannon theory that Nick's sexuality is something you need 37 syllables to describe. "You can see it in this aura" is never a valid argument. And deviantart could use a better search algorithm, seeing as safe searching still turned up an image that can only be described as murderfucking.

holymage! Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 i like krockens idea better, they get like 1-3 threads a day until they reach like a total of 5-10 non spam threads or 10-15 replies....the replies thing might not work that well though....

TheBytemaster Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Why not both? A captcha for a new thread and a new thread limit for new accounts. I'm guessing that a captcha for making a new thread would be harder to implement though, when I think about it. And really, just a new thread cap for accounts less than one or two days old would all but solve the problem. Both are easier said than done though. Anyways, a question. Usually, my car roof looks kind of like this when it's cold and frosty in the morning: Spoiler A little while ago, it looked like this instead: Spoiler Any ideas why this could happen? I've never seen it before or since, it's a complete mystery to me. EDIT: Also, somehow I have 11453 profile views?

Neowulf Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Eh, I've seen some obvious spam accounts that have submarined for months before becoming active. Car roof, not sure on the exact conditions but it happens occasionally here as well. Looks like it's very cold air that has a moderate amount of moisture in it. Slower build up of frost. http://superbeefy.com/why-does-frost-make-patterns-that-look-like-leaves-ferns-and-branches-when-it-forms-on-windows-and-cars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
