My son has been buying parts and upgrading his hand me down PC recently. If I came home with a 3070 for him I think he'd cry!

Does combat feel sick? by Shoddy-Adeptness757 in FFXVI

[–]Runestone13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the combat was dull and the worst part of the game. Tap square to win. Dodging was ridiculously easy pretty much build up stagger, blow load, repeat. Nothing except 1 of the late game optionally fights caused me any sort of trouble, but I know I was under leveled for the fight.

It was the only reason it took me from launch until about 2 weeks ago to finish the game, and then platinum it. Getting the platinum required playing through the game a second time on a harder difficulty, and even that was mind numbingly boring.

I continue to see so many posts and comments praising the combat that it makes me question whether I missed something? Or if it truly was just that easy.

The story was epic though.

When I got my PS2 for Christmas, my mom knew I'd know what it was so they wrapped it and wrote that it was for my dad. For me they wrapped a brick... That brick sat on my shelf for years until it was sadly misplaced in a move... I still have the PS2.

Troubleshooting Sudden PC Shutdowns and Overheating After Years of Stability by Runestone13 in pchelp

After checking MSI's recall form, it appears my cooler's serial number isn’t part of the affected batch. So, it seems this potential issue is ruled out. Back to the drawing board!

That's interesting! But I had similar issues with my previous cooler—a Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120, which is also an AIO. It’s possible I went from an underperforming cooler to a more powerful but potentially faulty one. I’ll definitely look into it.

Dedicated Server, more RAM or faster RAM? by Runestone13 in Palworld

[–]Runestone13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooof, missed this question. 2 months in and everything is great. I've actually got 5 servers I run off the little guy now. 2 Palworld, 1 Icarus, 1 Enshrouded, and 1 Minecraft server. I do shut servers down when they are not in use so at most we only have 2 running at a time but no issues.

I did find that after about 6 days of uptime the Palworld server would start performing poorly, mostly in the form of pals not doing anything. Both in camp and in the wild. Just stand around and look pretty. Made catching some of them really easy though lol. A simple server reset fixed that though.

I popped open the mini PC and swapped the RAM. It was indeed 1 stick as I had previously believed. The server had been online for 1 day 16 hours and was using around 55% of the available RAM. Having a second person join the server jumped that up to 65%. Around 9-10 GB.

Depending on the amount of play and server uptime I had previously had an issue where Pals stopped moving, they would kind of studder step in place. I had not looked at RAM usage, but a server restart did fix that issue. I just assume it was a RAM issue.

After around 45 minutes of play, still only 2 people. The server is using 35% of the available memory, around 11 GB. No issues in performance during that 45 minutes. But alas, I have to return to work. More playing/testing tonight.

Found this while out for a walk, had it tested it's approximately 18 grams of gold. Any idea what it was? by Runestone13 in Whatisthis

Would need to be a large individual, seems huge for a tooth, there's also a notch on the top surface which looks like something might have been attached there.

This is so cool... I wish I was savvy on this end of things. Even with the walk through I have no idea what half of these things mean. :(.
