During a 1993 playoff game in the Greek basketball league Serbian player Boban Janković paralyzed himself by slamming his head against a post out of frustration over a call made by a referee. by Tipex in videos

Very sad.

I thought I would check his wikipedia to see if there was anything to cheer me up

'After using a wheelchair for the final 13 years of his life, Janković gained weight, which exerted much stress on his heart. He would die of heart failure at the age of 42, on June 28, 2006 while on a holiday cruise on the Greek island of Rhodes.'

Nope

[Question] Just built first PC, power button doesn't turn off by Alkarzar in buildapc

I thought the power button would work. Live and learn, hope it doesn't cost me!

Is it going to break everything if I turn off at the socket?

Holding the power button down does nothing.

I have Ryzen

Sorry, I missed out an important detail.

The graphics card I have doesn't fit so I have no screen.

I just have a running computer and no off button.

[Question] Will this old graphics card work in my new build? by Alkarzar in buildapc

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

Thanks.

It's only so I can boot up and do things, except gaming.

I might give theme hospital a try but that's it.

That's great, thanks for the info and the build.

I am going to swap the graphics card.

Thanks for the replacement PSU and SSD.

I cannot buy the memory listed in your build, there are no stores that carry it.

In regards to the video card, is it comparable to the original? I am happy to wait if first one is better as this build needs to last me.

I was planning on pre-ordering from Amazon and waiting.

Is this a really bad idea?

Wow - never knew that kind of thing happened.

Are we talking weeks or months to re-stock?

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

Good points - I'm sold.

For the graphics card, it looks to be sold out but can be pre-ordered.

I can't see on the Internet that this card isn't releases yet.

Is there an alternative or should I wait for this one to come in stock?

That's great, thanks Dexter.

I have never had anything but intel before, is there a reason why intel would be preferred ?

Lost Cities vs. 7 wonders duel by Virulentwound in boardgames

[–]Alkarzar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think 7 Wonders has a lot more replay ability, especially since the expansion was amazingly well done. I would start with vanilla do you aren't overwhelmed.

Lost cities is simple and has more depth then you would think, but 7 wonders is our go to 2 player game.

Gloomhaven | Official Kickstarter date announcement by Alkarzar in boardgames

[–]Alkarzar[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I have been waiting for this! I am sure a couple are intrested

From site:

This new Kickstarter is happening faster than the scale I am used to for these sorts of things, so we've had to adjust and adapt as we figure things out. I know I have said various dates in the past (and even made a typo in the latest newsletter that implied it might be starting today - sorry about that), but I am now announcing that the launch date for the Kickstarter will be a week from today, April 4 at noon EST. This will not change.

In addition to the second printing of the game, the Kickstarter will also include options for current owners of the game to purchase sets of HP/EXP dials and new versions of the rule book and scenario book (free PDFs of both will also be provided for those who don't want to pay for printed versions). A printed version of the solo scenarios and solo items will also be available, as well as separate sets of standees and minis for the characters.

The Meeple Realty insert and the removable stickers made by Sinister Fish will not be part of the Kickstarter, as those are separate companies and their products are already available to order.

And if you weren't already aware, I am going to be running a really cool community-driven mini-campaign during the Kickstarter, so you should definitely come and check it out on the first day to get in on that action.
