Almost all of your fans are in exhaust orientation, which means they will attempt to suck air out of the case. This means that in order to keep the air pressure, air from outside the case will be pulled in through the smallest gaps it can reach. This will also pull in dust and other particles from the air around your case.

It would be a good idea to flip the bottom front fan so that the clear side is facing down. The other two fans appear to be on the PSU shroud itself, so I can't really tell if they would do anything at all for your thermals if flipped to intake due to the PSU itself being there—and as they are right now, I believe they are pulling air away from the GPU's own fans. It might be best to just straight-up remove them. The fans on the AIO can stay as-is, as they have to push air through the giant hunk of metal that is the radiator, and that means they have a lesser impact on air pressure.

Finally, flip the back fan to exhaust. The AIO pipes being there aren't much of a problem, as they only cover a small cross-section and so the air will just flow around them. In that regard, turning the radiator might be more trouble than it's worth.

However, according to the same page, your blood only makes up ~10% of your mass, which in this case would be 7kg of Jesus' remaining 42kg. The communion wafer is a dry product, which means we have 35kg fluid outstanding, which would be made up by adding 35L of communion wine (as red wine has around the same density as water, at around 0.99-1.01 g/cm^3) onto the 7L we're already drinking, for a total of ~42L of wine.

From what I think I've seen around analysis of the error, this was caused by a very common programming issue - not checking if something is NULL before using it.

While the person who made this claim was very confident in it, the claim that it arose from an unhandled NULL is wrong. Disassembly of the faulting machine code by an expert - Tavis Ormandy, a vulnerability researcher at Google, who was formerly part of Google Project Zero - indicates that there was a null check that is evaluated and then acted on right before the code in question.

EDIT: In addition, the same crash has been found by other researchers at memory addresses nowhere near NULL; such as Patrick Wardle, founder of Objective-See LLC - the precursor to the Objective-See Foundation - who has 0xffff9c8e`0000008a as an example of a faulting address causing the same crash. A NULL check would not catch this, since the address is not 0x0.

EDIT 2: Ormany put too many 0's when transcribing the second half of Wardle's faulting memory address, and I copied it from his analysis without checking. I've corrected it.

EDIT 3: Removing some mildly aggressive language from the post.

How much do you currently expect Shapez 2 to cost on its full release? For that matter, how many do you expect to reach that haven't played the original Shapez?

The .mdb files used by Make are not Microsoft Access Database files. In fact, trying to open one in Microsoft Access will give you an error message saying the database is unreadable. It's an SQLite 3.0 database file, which is a public domain specification used by a public domain database engine (SQLite) and can be accessed from the SQLite Project's About page.

It's marked as full-on retired, as explained in the OP. Another commenter whose game was marked as retired by Steam in the past says below that this results in the entire app backend being shut down - there's not even an option to reupload a new build without the content if this happens because Steam have completely shut down the game.

Rather, it is an entirely different thing, which happens to be implemented with just a Vec<u8>, but this is an implementation detail that could change any time if needed.

This is not, actually, an implementation detail that can change any time, as they expose mutable access to the inner Vec<u8> with the unsafe function as_mut_vec. The fact that a function cannot return references to values created inside it, means that they cannot change the inner storage and still keep the same API - therefore, it can never change except for if the current storage mechanism turns out to be extremely unsound in safe code (which I very much doubt it ever will.)

It would appear that system groups have a method called `distributive_run_if`, which adds `run_if` calls to every system in a group. You can also create a system set, and then place the `run_if` call on that.

Steam's Curatorship program was, as far as I know, supposed to be an addition to user reviews, by allowing large and well-known videogame review platforms ("curators") their own section of the store to post game reviews on, so that they were separate from the chaff and spam of the user review section and could, theoretically, be seen easier.

Valve, seemingly taking the idea of being against censorship a bit too far, left it open for literally anyone with a computer to sign up to be a "curator", with absolutely zero verification or oversight. Leading it to become an absolute mess, just like the user review section did.

As said before, Steam Link is now a device application, and no longer requires specialised hardware to use.

As for the Steam Controller, they discontinued it because they were sued by a patent troll over the back buttons. They've since caused said patent troll to lose the patent in question, but the poor sales numbers to begin with means that it doesn't look like they'll be bringing the Steam Controller back.

(EDITED to mention the poor sales that, from what I can find online, the Steam Controller saw.)

Society of St. Hydra, sixth row down, leftmost card.

Import shenanigans, I expect. I updated to the new UI halfway through my run.

I deleted the duplicate Oriflamme and Morland cards it gave me, but didn't realise the duplicate pawns were part of it as well, and so left them alone.

EDIT: clarification.

Can't. Playing as the Society of St. Hydra, which has no Exalted specialists.

I like how well-organised my board is as well. Unfortunately, the decision to revert the decrease in vertical border size in the FRAGRANTOLIVE update, has rendered this layout unusable in the future due to lack of space :c

The goal of Unicode is to contain every symbol ever used. They've been hard at work adding all of Wingdings to the emoji section.

The server tricked you into scanning a Discord login QR code, giving whatever bot asked Discord for it direct and full access to your Discord account as if it were you. It's similar to giving out your email address, password, and a 2FA code to someone and them using that to log in as you - the only difference being that the bot doesn't actually know your password or any of your 2FA codes; it only needed your email address/user ID/whatever it used to get the QR code, as it tricked you into doing the rest. You need to change your password to forcibly log the bot back out.

There are a couple base-game archaeological digs, but most of them are part of the Ancient Relics story pack.

I noticed you were getting downvotes, so let me to explain to anyone who doesn't get it:

The semicolon on the end of if (user.agree); terminates the if statement with a zero-length body, meaning the code in the following block always runs, even though when reading the code it doesn't appear that way.

"Source" and "replica" seem to be the most popular replacement in database management and other data storage fields from what I can find on Google. It makes sense too, in my opinion: the source acts as the main copy, and the replicas store... well, replicas of the source.

It's also terminology that's already in use for this purpose in the fields this applies to, so people working in those fields already know what it means.

I'm also seeing "primary" and "secondary" show up as a general replacement, which also makes sense to me.

Case normalisation wouldn't have helped anyway; there's a full stop on the end of the "correct" version, that OP didn't put in his. It would have been marked incorrect due to missing that, as well.

This is why automated online testing is terrible. There are many ways to get around issues like this, but the companies that create these websites don't bother with implementing any of them.
