I get the BG3 usage of narration due to the DnD setting and DMs narrating the story. Spoon feeding is not acceptable and is insulting to the player. I remember Deus Ex very well along with others like System Shock. The world they put you in can be confusing and unfamiliar at first glance and takes time to get involved in.

Unpopularopinion posting…. what do you normally like to play? I didnt enjoy BG3 either but I didnt care for the other Baldurs Gate games mostly because of the setting and characters.

Good tools are expensive and meant to last a lifetime, maybe more. A cheap tap and die set is a blessing for anodized sheet metal like in a computer case. Cheap materials, cheap tools.

Tin snips and a metric size tap and die. Youre right that a lot of cases have proprietary or non standard power supply mounts. The only guarantee that I could fit anything, including motherboards, in some cases was to get a template and do it myself.

Take a picture with a polaroid and post it to an image board you both share in the same house.

Thank you for the update! It is a welcome troubleshooting tip with the DirectX problems.

Sorry, you wouldnt and didnt mean to imply that. I was suggesting that port forwarding is a fairly easy task and if one is confident in their ability to do that, than they should be able to complete a PiHole install.

Your drive. Get a new one, like today, get your info off that old drive and replace it.

PiHole runs great on older Raspberry Pi’s(I am still using a pi3). Older models are still very easy to get and a readily available from the approved resellers list.

I felt the same way about youtube, streaming, shopping and general browsing: too many ads. Ruins the content. I set up a pi-hole as an experiment to see if it would do what it said and what others said about it. Manage your expectations here. Pi-hole works well for blocking a lot of static information and ads in your browser and a lot of apps on iOS and Android. It does not block video ads on Youtube or Hulu, it does not block ads for Roku or Firestick or Smart TV apps for example, it just does not work because of the technical limitations of how the PiHole software is designed. Using a regular PC with adblock browser extension installed as well gets rid of 99% of ads including video ads from adcdns. PiHole is incredibly easy to setup and install, the pay off in quality of life is enormous. I cannot recommend it more to someone that has a little networking knowledge base. If you can figure out how to port forward and run a handful of command lines you can complete a pihole setup in an hour.

Potatoes absolutely will build up enough internal pressure to pop, even if the skins have been punctured. Not every spud will blow up some just split; when they do it makes a hell of a mess in the oven. I once broke a microwave at work with a potato because it did this. To postulate a reason; some potatoes have a higher moisture content than others.

Ive seen stutters on 6900xt. My fix was to adjust the boost clock from dropping to 500mhz from ~2300mhz or so. Set the low to little less than half at 1125mhz when Im gaming and cleared a bunch of stutters. That seems to have cleared up that specific stutter. I had some memory issues too with a ddr4 system. Ive also noticed stutters when using Bluetooth audio while gaming. Try eliminating as many backgound apps as you can, try one at a time cause they have been known to cause issues too.

Phō. I have never had a bad date while enjoying a bowl at a Vietnamese restaurant.

I used to get ten of these botifications per appointment. Annoying, yes, but the phone calls on top of the text messages were the cherry on top. VA spends a lot of time making sure people remember their appointments. Btw: i accidentally misspelled notifications and Im leaving it. Coined it.

Sure, I’ll enter and keep and eye out for the other games.

Humble bundle is great but I always seem to have the same problem with the extra keys. Ive wanted Shadows of Mordor and Shadow of War for a while and just never got around to looking for deals for them. Thanks for doing this.

After a quick search: Izatcloud is qualcomm extended satellite positioning, which may be a different version of GPS. But not entirely sure, here is a privacy related article about it. https://restoreprivacy.com/qualcomm-denies-unlawful-user-location-data-collection-on-phones/

Its just easier to manage a small mess one than a large mess twice lol. I havent seen anything that would leave me to believe there is a way to put too much tic on a die. Are they really nonconductive though? If you put enough of it in the right places Im sure it would conduct.

No, you dont need to update incrementally. The best method of paste is personal preference, so long as there is paste and you remove all the things that say to remove them before installing. I use the x pattern usually just because Im used to it and I know it works. Youll know youve used too much when it squeezes out the sides, make sure to clean that off with a cotton swab. Good luck and congrats on your new build

The chokepoint here would be the networking and RAM. Pi-hole isnt all that resource intensive but does use a bit of the network resources. Kodi, should run along with it but the performace as stated from other posters will leave a lot to be desired. The 2GB of RAM is not going to be powerful enough to do a lot. On the fly encoding for video is going to suffer by RAM, CPU and network output. Its possible to do it but youll definitely have to be patient with it.
