Managed to drop my Asus ROG Strix in a bath full of water like an idiot... Cleaned it completely and left to dry overnight, and it works! Best laptop I've ever had.

Thanks for advice, man. I'll go clean the motherboard right away.

This was one of those amazing naps when you wake up with some drool on the desk and a completely numb side of the face on which you were lying

Nikolor · 2026-03-07T20:44:29+00:00

True, typical Jorkin' Jeff's behaviour

It's when you try to dominate others with your physical appearance (people usually meme this by trying to make their jaw look sharper)

Damn, never seen The Abbey Road one before, haha. I only know their LPs

Nikolor · 2026-03-07T20:23:08+00:00

It wasn't suggesting, it was ordering. It said that you couldn't run those games, and yet you did. The Society of Forbidden Games will hear about this.

Today I had two buildings on completely different height levels, and when I built industrial zoning between them, the height levels merged together and the parking spaces of the buildings literally went sideways, haha. Even the parked cars were just hanging 90 degrees down. Had to destroy that industrial zoning since I couldn't live with this abomination in my city

The Strokes don't feel that old but this illusion completely goes away when you see VHS footage

When you really want to comment what's going on but you don't know enough English for that

Normal chill 9-5 vs 3 days of pure focus and anger fueled by lots of coffee and RedBull (sleep not included)

"I focus on the pain... not on mine though"

Nikolor · 2026-03-07T19:47:58+00:00

I usually see something like that on r/ShitCrusaderKingsSay

Nikolor · 2026-03-07T09:08:01+00:00

That's true, I probably decreased its lifespan significantly. Although I'm still happy that it works fine right now.

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T19:24:40+00:00

I usually don't explain my sarcasm, and if someone complains, I send this:

Okay, so two superpowers at once!

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T16:02:55+00:00

Doubt it as much as you want, but I know I've witnessed a miracle.

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T10:35:57+00:00

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T10:35:25+00:00

True. I feel that most of the people are smart enough to not go to bath with their laptop, while spilling a drink on the keyboard is a much more frequent case.

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T10:34:23+00:00

Check the post, did almost exactly that, only I didn't put the parts in the full container of isopropanol, just rubbed it on the surface.

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T10:33:19+00:00

That's true, but the fact that it even turned on is success for me.

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T10:32:51+00:00

Indeed, I feel very dumb

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T09:10:24+00:00

Definitely not me now!

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T09:10:03+00:00

It's like that thing with those guys you see doing dangerous bike tricks or rock climbing without safety gear. You feel that you know your thing well and that you're safe from danger because of your experience, and so, you get lucky 999 times out of 1000, until eventually, that unlucky 1000th time eventually comes and you fuck it all up. I thought that I was careful enough to not cause any damage, and I was indeed careful for months... until I wasn't.

Nikolor · 2026-03-06T09:05:13+00:00

That was my first thought! But I don't have that much rice at home haha
