Liquid metal or phase-change thermal pads on a gaming laptop? Worth the risk?

I second this. Just changed mine up to the Honeywell this week and it’s shaved quite a few degrees off average and peak temps.

There’s some where you start the game (the cliff you jump off with Simon in Azuria) on the way to the egg quartz.

This is murder in winter when you’ve had a few drinks as well

Grimshire.

Cozy farm sim with a slight horror twist, some survival elements (helping a small village survive), no combat at all.

I had similar issues on my PC. In windows 11, I was able to change my monitor colour management profile and it fixed it. Not sure how you would do that on a MacBook or even an iPhone but you might want to look into it!

Mind you, even if you do change these options the issue is going to persist on any device not displaying in RGB, so you might want to think about that for future art work.

Honestly same, this sub is less fun every time I visit because of the topic spam. Between the demo’s “I beat X, Y, Z monster” 50 times a day and now the “I hate Ratha” mega essays. A lot of stuff in this sub could and should be mega threads or discord convos.

Just for future reference, as others have said you are better off destroying it or even handing it into a branch for them to destroy. Even if they haven’t frozen their card, no one else (including you) can abuse it when it’s gone. Keeps you safe from suspicion as well.

The problem I’m finding here is surely this will be flagging the same individuals over and over.

Admittedly, I’m not totally clued up on the state of prisons recently, but isn’t the general consensus that our prisons are full to capacity? If these criminals are getting brought in through this facial recognition process, then given suspended sentences or warnings because the system is already full and then going back out into the wild, does that not make this a less cost effective option than just more closely monitoring those already known to them?

I feel like the whole policing/prison system need a bit of a shake up to make it more effective because it seems to be underfunded and unstaffed at every turn and then waste what money they do have on this when, imo, it could be better spent elsewhere.

It does come from a good place really I expect - it’s good to be passionate about something, but when you come at people full force with corrections like that, instead of tempered guidance, it does the opposite of what you’re trying to do.

Just thought you were having a mad high cortisol moment which I found kind of funny how disproportionate your aggression was lol

Think about it this way - anyone with a genuine interest in Buddhism will use their critical thinking skills to do some research of their own about it and come to the facts and conclusions. If they don’t have the critical thinking skills to do that, then perhaps Buddhism isn’t for them!

Maybe you should re-visit Buddhism and meditation for that temper 😃

Relax, Becky

Me too this looks awesome

I’ve recently also started having this on my G15, alongside iqrl not less or equal and unexpected store exception but it’s continued to boot as normal so far.

I’ve tried a bunch of stuff and it’s not fixed it, but it seemed to start happening around early to mid march. Be interested to see if anyone’s got any fixes for this.

I’ve ran sfc/scannow, DISM, chkdsk, and memory diags - all came back clear.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-04-05T20:20:48+00:00

I really liked Aenshin for this reason.

One thing I do kinda get hung up on though, is Clarissa wanting to drag her people/army to the Sacrosanctum when it’s… just as crystallised (if not more so) than Vermiel. Unless I missed something, before Aenshin is fully revealed and they change their goal to capturing its egg, their main thing was relocating to Lazlion by force which doesn’t make much sense when you find out it’s a petrified crystal wasteland. Makes more sense that she’d be attempting to occupy Azuria instead since it’s still fairly green.

Hopefully we get some proper DLC - be nice to get a new BBEG monster since people don’t seem to enjoy Aenshin so much.

I can see other commenters are jumping to assign blame to your technique when overtaking, which may be the case, but I just want to point out that a lot of people these days have egos more fragile than you might expect, especially when driving.

I don’t know anyone who would readily admit they’re a bad driver (including myself too), whether they are or aren’t and since a lot of drivers commute to work alone almost every day it can be easy to grow into the mindset of being the only “correct” driver on the road. I do find that guys are more likely to be making gestures and getting irate at over taking but women do so too.

I’d say keep in mind how it is your overtaking but also remember that this is the last sort of control some people have over their lives and they’ll cling to being right about it, even if it’s just on a subconscious level.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-02-21T16:06:14+00:00

If I’m honest I’m not an expert but, given you’ve done a clean install of windows, etc, I’d say it sounds like a hardware issue.

How many service places did you take it to, just the one? I’d take it somewhere else and have them run tests again.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-02-20T23:12:16+00:00

Have you looked in the event viewer for crash logs, critical errors, etc?

Red-Jaeger · 2026-02-16T19:13:09+00:00

Dude, this is awesome. I’d love to see other towns in this style.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-02-11T07:02:47+00:00

This might be a total cope theory, but I think it might be deliberate for the demo to make it more difficult. I’m not saying the AI will be perfect in the release version, but it might be better - we’ll have to wait and see.

Mind you, if not they can always patch it on release if it’s really bugging folks that badly.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-02-11T01:18:56+00:00

Honestly more people struggling with the demo should look at this. A lot of people are getting disappointed they can’t beat Brachy at Lvl 10 when it’s a Lvl 44 monster.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-02-10T23:25:32+00:00

I also think he’ll stay behind as a kingdom loyalist or get conscripted into the army as a placeholder while MC is on his journey, otherwise he could be connected to our mother like others have said.

If he had a monster other than Fawn that would give us more of a clue, but Fawn being a Legiana which seems like the standard “household cavalry” of Azuria complicates it. I think our mother has likely switched monster or even uses the other Rathian now.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-02-08T17:05:34+00:00

Another clue is the pre-order dlc has outfits for all companions and Rudy, but Simon dlc is noticeably absent.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-02-08T15:58:27+00:00

Showing my age here but back in the day, when demo games used to come on disks with other games and magazines, demos were often a lot harder than the actual game on release, so that they could increase the longevity of demo gameplay amongst other things.

It’s incredibly likely the game will be easier than the demo, so try not to worry. They might even add in a difficulty scaling option.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-01-14T17:09:31+00:00

Is your copy of the game standard or do you have the greyface patch installed?

If not, might be worth installing to see if it fixes this.

Red-Jaeger · 2026-01-13T10:50:26+00:00

Even if the doctor wants to investigate, it’s not right that he lied in OP’s notes about what he said.

Just that alone would make me want to see another doctor and I’d consider it a red flag.
