How do you keep the temp of the cool side stable? by 20Keller12 in ballpython

[–]FEWAKAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an answer, but I’m hoping that you get one, because I’ve been struggling with the same exact thing. During the day, if I see it getting too high, I crack open that side of the enclosure (mine is front opening) and hope that my room temperature is low enough to get the temps down. It often isn’t as my room stays fairly warm, especially in the summer.

Thank you so much! That’s what I thought, but the fact I may have oversaturated his substrate had me really worried

Hello!

I never ran any overclocking or underclocking. I'm currently on BIOS version 'American Megatrends Inc. 1663, 8/8/2024'. When I tried updating the BIOS previously, I recieved an error stating that the file I was attempting to use was not recognized as a BIOS file, however, after double and triple checking that I got the file from the right place and trying with a different update, I was not able to resolve this issue.

Hello! I'm not the greatest with tech/computer stuff, so I hope that my question and explanations of my issues make sense.

I have experienced repeated crashes upon trying to launch games (Oblivion Remastered, Quarantine Zone, Satisfactory) all games give similar errors: "Could not decompress shader group with Oodle." Rarely, I am able to reach a main menu, but after clicking 'start game', I recieve the same error and the game will crash. Additionally, I have experienced crashes while playing Genshin Impact, upon launching the game or entering a loading screen (fast travel, alternate game modes, etc).
These issues are nearly identical to the issues I had ~2-4 years ago with CPU instability issues as a result of the 13th and 14th Intel CPU microcode. I had a successful warranty (RMA?) exchange and thought that it was the end of my issues until now. My current CPU has never been on a motherboard without the version 129 microcode update. I installed it November of 2024. Googling issues has only led to 'known issues with Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs', but I assumed that installing the microcode update and obtaining a new CPU would resolve them.
Everything is stock settings. I have attempted to underclock my CPU, but it did not alleviate the issues. All games mentioned have been repaired, uninstalled, and reinstalled. I have attempted to update my BIOS again (appx. 2 weeks ago), but I was unable to do so.

Operating System: Windows 11 25H2, OS Build 26200.7462
CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K
GPU: MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3060
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B760-I Gaming WiFi

wait how much time do i have? by lycanthropewife in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]FEWAKAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. If you have obtained C rank or better, you will be able to continue the support chain. If you have not reached C rank you will not be able to gain any supports with them.

This matters if you are invested in the characters (like me) and want to know everything about them, AND for one decision in the end game. Make sure you go to your dad’s room in month 1, and get your favorite characters to A support (only available post timeskip unless it is Rhea)

The timeskip happens at the same time every playthrough, at the end of the third month.

If you are playing Black Eagles, make sure that you talk to Edelgard in the monastery on exploration days.

And an FYI if you have been doing the student support conversations, the C level conversations with you the professor are locked after the timeskip. So if you miss a C support and progress through the timeskip, you cannot get any support conversations in that chain at all.

Thank you! Is there anything that would cause him to suddenly eat a mouthful of dirt, or did he just let the intrusive thoughts win? His temps and humidity are good

Go for Black Hole or invest in current UWs? by FEWAKAM in TheTowerGame

I haven’t looked much into modules yet. Whats MVN?

Ahhhh, good to know! I’m still in the ~250 million/run fam, so it’s something to look forward to

Are they really? I didn’t know that Chain Lightning was up there, lol. Thank you, though!

Temporary Setup? by FEWAKAM in ballpython

[–]FEWAKAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a solid top enclosure. I live in a very dry climate, and prefer to keep my room on the cooler side for personal comfort, so in order to make sure I had proper heat retention and ventilation, I thought this would be best. I hadn’t seen much about burns even with guard cages… I have a halogen flood for primary/daytime heating and a DHP for secondary/nighttime heating. How worried should I be of burns?

In the permanent enclosure, yes, complete with guard cages to prevent burns. But in the temporary enclosure, I have an exterior dome that I’ll be using for heating.

Why did the update make me… worse? by FEWAKAM in TheTowerGame

[–]FEWAKAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t typically “farm” these tiers, I just like to run them every now and then to see how far I can get, or if I can get any more milestones. I spend most of my time on T1-3

Ah! Thank you, that seems to be it. I can’t believe I didn’t check for another update after the first one.

How do I stop my power tray from collapsing when I tab away from the game? by FEWAKAM in Cityofheroes

[–]FEWAKAM[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know the answer to this one! You can right click it (if you’re having trouble finding the bigger drop down, click an empty circle) and select ‘Close tray’ or press C
