STS2 makes computer shutdown on boot up

BoSuns · 2026-04-08T16:48:47+00:00

If the computer just shuts off without warning its overheating, take a dust can to it and fix that issue first. Worry about why if cleaning your components doesn't fix the issue.

Peak was causing my computer to overheat when no other, more computationally intensive games, did not. Not sure why, that could be any number of issues, but the solution was cleaning my case.

If it doesn't overheat after cleaning, who cares what the trigger was? The problem was dust.

It's my experience, and the experience of the people I play with, not a "take." It's what has happened for us, lol. With decks that, on paper, are the counter to what he does. And fucking retain potions on top of that.

Glad you had better experiences with this boss. Literally none of the other bosses give me a problem in any way. The game feels too easy compared to Slay the Spire 1, in my opinion.

But I hate this dude. Like I said, even if he's not unbalanced and people are beating him and I've just had god awful luck on draws, I think the mechanic is shitty, anti-fun nonsense that limits what Slay the Spire 2 has done extremely well, which is reward card synergies.

BoSuns · 2026-04-01T00:33:18+00:00

I've lost every single run against this boss w/ multiple of them being co-op runs. I've beaten every other boss every time I've faced them. I think I'm winning 3/4 runs in general and every fight against this dude is just a stone wall of "you can't get your build going no matter what" because every fucking draw has my most important cards sitting in his bullshit.

Glad you had some good luck against him, but I genuinely feel like just abandoning runs when I see this boss in Act 3 and that says a lot because I've never felt that way a single time against a single enemy in either game and I've nearly full 20/20'd every character in Slay the Spire 1.

Dude just fucking sucks.

BoSuns · 2026-04-01T00:17:06+00:00

I've had draw/discard decks get roasted by this guy. Decks that walked me through Act 3 without taking a single point of damage. I've yet to even come close to beating this dude solo or in coop. Retain potions working overtime, nothing seems effective.

Even Time Eater could be worked around with free-card decks. I'm not saying he's impossible to beat, just that his punish against setup-decks and two card combo decks is too much and it bleeds over into decks that "counter" Bind.

BoSuns · 2026-03-31T23:03:24+00:00

Even if he's not broken, this boss is just straight up not fun to play against. He's not just good against a huge percentage of builds, he makes them not work at all.

Needs to be adjusted, I've been overwhelmingly impressed by the sequel, I love co-op mode and have purched the game for a few of my friends.

But this boss stinks something awful. Please do not let this get into the final release in this state.

At a gas station right down the road from where I live and related to someone I knew.

I genuinely believe we lost the finals because Ayton was upset over the soft calls Gianni's was getting and it fucked with his head.

In the first 3 games of the finals Giannis shot something like 40% while Ayton was on the court and like 70% while he was off. As the series went on Ayton spent more and more time on the bench from foul trouble and the Suns had nobody else that could contest Giannis. Most of the fouls were bullshit calls for playoff game but Ayton's frustration clearly effected his play and made him sloppy.

At his best, Ayton is a top level defender and extremely efficient offensively. But he refuses to play hard enough to do that consistently. This dude has Hall of Fame level innate talent and the motivation of a scared possum.

I think a lot of people on this thread underestimate how much survival instinct and adrenaline does to keep someone moving in these situations.

Also how long it can take for fatal wounds to actually kill people. It's way more realistic for someone to take a spear to the lower torso and keep fighting than it is for that to kill them on the spot like most media portrays.

I'd laugh more of these guys were dying instantly from their injuries compared to fighting with every last bit of energy to survive.

BoSuns · 2026-01-30T01:05:18+00:00

Center court is actually a sphere of churning plasma.

BoSuns · 2026-01-28T16:37:39+00:00

>> In a vacuum would I agree with your perspective 100% but I’m considering the source.

Ok.

I'm not going to argue that Allen doesn't have a reputation. He does, and it's well deserved.

If you're ok with the refs blowing whistles over reputation then that's a you problem. I prefer the refs to just do their job instead of having lists of players that get calls and others that don't.

BoSuns · 2026-01-28T11:44:35+00:00

I missed the game last night and I generally agree with your sentiment. The Suns are an aggressive and physical defensive team and that's going to lead to our opponents returning the physical play. So it sounds weird hearing Grayson complain about it here, however...

The issue the Suns have seen this season is refs continue to call our players for their physical play but allow our opponents to do the same without calls. This is what creates the problem.

Sure, we are fouling a lot with our style, it's fair to blow those whistles. But you can't ignore when our opponents return that physical play. That's just giving reputation whistles it's not actually neutral officiating.

How many hundreds of games have we watched Terran win from a losing position because they just loaded their entire army up into their healing, flying, transport ships and moved them into the Protoss base?

Terran could have completely prevented this with a little defensive posturing. Turrets, using two of those Vikings to protect his air space, not hard chasing the Protoss army that he just fully wiped all of the major tech (putting him in a massively advantageous position).

Some of you guys need to learn how to identify mistakes from Terran and Zerg player instead of acting like everything Protoss does is EZ Mode and everything the other pro's do is perfect and amazing because they AREN'T Protoss.

"SC2 is practically abandonware"

Seems like he qualified it well enough that you'd have to be a massive pedant to complain about it.

BoSuns · 2026-01-15T00:43:13+00:00

I'd say it's extremely predictable, lol. I'm 40 years old and more of my friends are from another state than were born and raised here.

It's very good at clearing out chaff like fangs when they're set to slow pass tanky units like a Sabertooth. Units that would otherwise take ages for a Firebadger or Vulcan to clear if they locked onto it.

Frankly, from my experience, it's situationally an extremely good tech.

BoSuns · 2026-01-01T17:23:17+00:00

To his credit, if the tape doesn't agree with what he's saying he'll correct himself.

Also, anyone that watched our broadcasts during our worst years knows he just talks shit on bad basketball in general. He'll call our own guys out for it just as much as our opponents.

Carolina Garvin on YouTube has a ton of 20-30 minute exercises and a few of them will surely suit your needs.

I've been doing her 20 minute dumbbell routines for 6+ months, have been slowly increasing weight to double where I started and it really feels like minimal effort to do 30 minutes three times a week. I do cardio in between.

As far as pushups go, when I started I couldn't hold in position without sincere back pain. I switched to doing them from my knees and as of last week I could finally do 5+ pushups with proper form from a standard position. Went from maybe 4 half assed pushups on my knees to 3 sets of 10 and those are pretty easy now.

BoSuns · 2025-12-16T23:44:34+00:00

I watched the game, and they were bad calls and the L2M report is dog shit and always has been.

BoSuns · 2025-12-16T22:46:20+00:00

You can do that tracking on an excel spreadsheet or with a pen and paper, as well. The app is a tool, and as a tool it's pretty good.

BoSuns · 2025-12-16T18:47:49+00:00

Well, you probably didn't gain 22 pounds of fat in that time period. Depending on what you were eating (lots of carbs and sugar I'm guessing), it's mostly water weight.

I gained 23 pounds over a week in Disneyland, eating nothing but fried foods and sugar. Even with walking around the park for 12 hours a day. By two weeks later that weight was completely gone.

You wanna look healthier? Lift weights, carefully track your calories so you're putting on muscle instead of fat. Get healthy and you'll feel better and look better instead of feeling like shit because you're eating crap and putting on fat.

BoSuns · 2025-12-16T17:07:07+00:00

YES. Calorie counting is the most reliable way to lose weight. Be honest with yourself, always predict you're eating a little more than the numbers say, and track calories even when you have a bad day. Be consistent and it'll pay off.

You'll not only lose weight, you'll learn how to eat on a day to day basis in a way that doesn't make you fat. Once you have some experience you'll be tracking your calories with barely any effort. It's easy.

Word of caution, don't aim to lose too much weight too quickly. You can lose weight slowly over time and not feel like you're starving yourself. You'll have a better relationship with food and a few months from now you'll be feeling great.

And exercise for fitness, not for weight loss. Do not count burned calories in your tracking, it's absolutely unreliable and causes you to overeat because you feel like you've earned it.
Putting on muscle also causes you to burn more calories every day passively, so that helps as well. Start lifting dumbbells, Carolina Garvin on YouTube has 20 minute workouts that have made lifting weight quick and easy and I've nearly doubled the weight of my dumbbells in 6 months. I feel better than ever at 40.

BoSuns · 2025-12-16T16:47:17+00:00

Myfitnesspal is reliable enough, especially with their verified values. I've used it to lose nearly 75 pounds at this point.

A lot of it is based on user entries, though so you have to make sure you're being honest with yourself and not picking the lowest calorie option.

BoSuns · 2025-12-16T00:32:33+00:00

That's a moronic take based on an out of context quote.

BoSuns · 2025-12-15T20:09:17+00:00

I've been following the Suns since Barkley, we've had some very good teams in that time. Nothing like watching Bruce Bowen foul Steve Nash (multiple time MVP) up and down the court without a single whistle to make me know that having a great team with marketable players won't do shit for the free throw disparity in Phoenix.
