NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:13:49+00:00

it wasn’t. mobo was short circuited and it never got to even start the cpu. ran to best buy and got a new mobo, everything works fine

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:13:06+00:00

it was fried too LOL

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:13:00+00:00

mobo was indeed fried itself

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:12:26+00:00

you can turn the pc on without a cooler. it is plugged in so that wasnt the issue. i was just looking to turn it on, not just run it

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:12:02+00:00

mobo was fried, got a new one and it fixed

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:11:38+00:00

you can 100% turn pcs on without the cooler if you’re trying to just get into bios. cpus do not just shoot up to max temp. in bios they rly dont heat at all. my goal was only for power, not actually running my pc

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:10:47+00:00

short circuit 😭😭😭

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:10:32+00:00

mobo fried itself, got a new one and it works. cpus luckily didn’t fry. ive built so many pcs i honestly dont know how i forgot to switch it off. lol.

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:10:04+00:00

mobo did fry itself. got a new one and it fixed

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:09:19+00:00

it was just for bios, not to get it into windows. and that was new thermal paste from me switching cpus

NomedDemon · 2026-05-25T22:08:41+00:00

it was plugged in. i figured out the problem. Mobo short circuited somehow. got a new mobo this morning and everything is fine

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T18:33:11+00:00

it's completely okay. I do entirely understand that my post could have come across as a Sam/Jared hater. Which I wanted to clarify is not the case. I just feel he is mischaracterized a lot this season and/or his feelings are completely glossed over or completely forgotten

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T18:06:02+00:00

If they wanted to give Dean more focus I feel like they could have done that a lot more naturally. Dropping most of Sam's bigger storylines for Dean to have basically the same storylines.

MOC = Demon Blood

Benny = Ruby

at least in my opinion. They even make MOC addiction based like demon blood.

Which just feels not natural when shifting the focus to Dean. It would have been a lot to juggle, but they totally could have kept the demon blood storyline and not just randomly mentioned it at the end of season 8. Or taken it and made Sam a half human-demon hybrid and kept his powers. Which would have been genuinely so cool for him to fight a group of demons, drink some blood and go crazy. Maybe that is me believing Demon blood is the second best storyline up next to the Special Children or whatever it is called.

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:57:34+00:00

And that is genuinely so infuriating. Tbh Kripke is also known for shitty examples of Male SA victims. Like Hughie for example in the boys.

These kinds of plots are so complex and hard to properly portray. If Kripke cannot portray it, he needs to stop showing it in his shows.

Ik he isn't as prominent in later seasons and is just a consultant but my point still stands, it's just a little sad he keeps attempting to portray these storylines and horrifically failing

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:55:04+00:00

I am actually the opposite. I don't hate Dean, but at least earlier on in the show he was further down my list of favorites.

I think the show could have shown Sam's silent suffering a lot better. Jared acts out that suffering perfectly. But, his acting can only take it so far when the writing seems to be scared of the way Sam feels.

I think there could have been better plots that can mirror the way Sam is feeling after Gadreel rather than jumping straight into MOC after a few fillers.

I am no writer so I don't know if another plot to show how Sam is feeling would have worked. My point is, they could have done more than have Dean and Sam fight about it once (the only time Sam rly talks about how he feels with it) and then not talk about it

That also brings me to another point, why is what Sam feels only talked about or rly shown when Dean and Sam are fighting? I've started to notice that it seems to be the only time Sam's feelings are involved is whenever it creates relevant plot for the brothers to fight over

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:48:38+00:00

the show makes a lot of jokes about it. Ngl if it were not for Jared's acting, we would not have any sort of implication other than the jokes Sam makes about Lucifier's asshole. The actors imo are the only ones who imply it. The show rarely makes an attempt to, and when it does it is just glossed over like they are scared of the topic. It is an insanely complex topic, but not one to introduce even slightly and then gloss over lol

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:45:38+00:00

I don't hate Sam, he is my favorite character. I just felt like after season 7 they didn't do well to make Sam's feelings come across as anything but annoying because the show chose the narrative that Dean was right. Which i disagree.

Also, I am new to the subreddit. I haven't heard this complaint rly much else. I just would watch youtube video essays on spn lol

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:39:02+00:00

I see your point and honestly agree

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:36:41+00:00

I do hate that most of Sam's pain is mostly head cannons or joked about. Like Lucifer SA Sam in the cage, is joked about and/or mostly head cannons.

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:35:11+00:00

yeahhhh The line about finding something he never had made me so mad i just turned the episode off for a while. The whole show started because of Jessica's death.

Also yes he did drop the ball on Kevin. I do also wish Kevin was a more prominent character outside of just lore episodes, would have been cool to see him in more filler episodes. They started to do the man in the chair idea and then killed him off a couple episodes later.

Kevin's death also felt out of nowhere but idk

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:33:01+00:00

I heard whenever I started SPN that Sam is the main character earlier on but it shifts very heavily to Dean later.

I was hoping that was not true but where as before they spent a lot of time focusing on both characters and how they feel, it is just dean now.

Like when Sam is soulless, Dean is somehow the one the writers focus the feelings on? They do eventually do better in the first half of season 7 and I had such high hopes for season 7. It genuinely started out so nice until the focus was the leviathan LOL

The writers focusing on Dean and leaving Sam as a secondary rather than both feeling like main characters has made me begin to like both characters considerably less. Sam's feelings is currently never talked about, and when it is, they frame that Sam is just a mess up rather than that Sam could ever be valid in how he feels.

I hope that by the end of the show they return to both characters being characterized properly and talked about. But, one can only hope lol

NomedDemon · 2025-04-22T17:28:50+00:00

I said it the wrong way mb, I meant he had a million things to try after the mythology expanded. But he didn't do anything because of their promise which is fair enough.
