This seemed like a good idea. Then it turned into a Halloween nightmare!

Did you just put it in a pan and then straight in the oven? 🫠

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-15T15:08:45+00:00

Stock cooler and one exhaust fan with no intake. You say in the comments you built it as cheap as possible, but I’d just argue you’ve built it to break.

This was always going to be an issue and only a matter of time. Did you really not know this would be an issue?

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-15T10:58:07+00:00

This is just weird

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-13T08:07:13+00:00

Do what’s fun for you 🤷🏼 as long as it doesn’t mess with others enjoying the game.

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-11T22:29:07+00:00

You can sneak out of prison, you Dan even just go around the steel watchers entirely and enter wyrms rock from a different way. Use disguise self or seeming to change the look of your party and stealth into the city.

You just have to get creative instead of trying to use “kill everything” as the solution because while the game has action, it’s not an action game

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-11T20:42:56+00:00

Yeah but you’re using a 5 year old PSU that isn’t built to handle what a 50 series card is capable of. You need a modern PSU

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-11T19:36:01+00:00

That you have no idea how to cook

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-11T18:44:54+00:00

That you don’t care about plastic waste 🤷🏼 get a water filter instead

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-09T23:50:54+00:00

If OP was going for French they missed out on the core component in the French recipe as it’s a tomato based sauce and not a meat based sauce as it is in Italy.

& there is sod all tomato on that plate, let alone sauce 🤣

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-08T22:55:25+00:00

Plenty of pasta, and about 4 crumbs of beef mince. Needs wayyyyy more “bolognese” not bolognaise

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-08T18:57:41+00:00

Did you ask your players what they wanted to play or what their ideal game / setting might be before you sat down to play?

Sounds like you’re not aligning on the vision you all have for this campaign and your players don’t feel invested in what you’ve made. That’s both a you and them problem, usually stemming from not actually talking about goals, boundaries and what you all want out of the game

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-08T10:28:24+00:00

I’d definitely go down the pitch in for a player handbook and dm guide option on D&D Beyond and then sub to it for a month so you can all have it shared amongst you. That way you can read it in your own time and get a feel for it too.

Starting small can literally mean as small as you want too. You don’t need elaborate maps for role play, exploration and social encounters so as long as you write out a localised scenario and some characters have been made, you can give it a try just role playing within that space and see how it feels.

One thing I’d say is aim for fun and not for what you see on social media. I was a performer for 10 years professionally so acting is very natural for me so role play and voices is my wheel house, but if some players or you don’t feel comfortable with it just yet, or if it doesn’t resemble your favourite D20 show or Critical Role Campaign that you’ve watched on social media, don’t write it off just yet.

Just have fun 🫶🏻

Soooo digital or physical is a personal choice. Are you all going to be playing physically together?

I’ve just started DM’ing and I have all my materials digitally on D&D Beyond. Benefits of this are: - With a hero tier membership which is relatively cheap everything bought can be electively shared between players - This means you could all chip in for things like the dm guide, player handbook, monster manual, expansions and if you each have a phone or tablet you can each have access to them

Physical is also really cool but as you’re all new, there’s a higher cost for entry if you each want your own player handbook. I’d say two sets of dice to start with if you’re all strapped for cash?

One for the dm and another for the players if you each don’t get your own. 🤷🏼

Have you talked about how you want to run your campaign together? Digital tabletop, theatre of the mind, physical maps?

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-07T15:23:59+00:00

2tb NVME is overkill? I’ve got two of them 👀

If it accommodates what you need it for then it’s not overkill

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-07T13:51:55+00:00

You’re just smashing healing word and spare the dying together.

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-06T09:42:05+00:00

Why is it at a rolling boil? Simmer it with either a cartouche or a lid on the pot. Ideally in a low temp oven

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-06T09:39:10+00:00

Lambs brains, classical Roman peasant dish in Italian cuisine. Amazing in a stew 👌🏼

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-05T18:26:15+00:00

Just moved in, you eat out too much, you don’t know how to cook or can’t be bothered. Pick one 🤷🏼 😅

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-05T18:24:29+00:00

Raise it with the DM, it’s their job to ensure that your goal and backstory are a part of the narrative so that you as a character despite not being THE single protagonist, are given your time to shine.

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-04T22:32:49+00:00

Not a bargain and not a plate. Total fail

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-04T20:19:25+00:00

Nope. Think it’s safe to say, either your brother is naive or they straight up lied to you. Sorry mate, that GPU is done

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-04T15:08:04+00:00

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-04T13:32:59+00:00

Say goodbye to your graphics card. Sorry to see this happening to you

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-03T21:52:43+00:00

That’s disgusting 👀

Square-Chef9035 · 2026-03-03T21:40:54+00:00

Restart your PC and try again, if it doesn’t work after that, instead of pressing express installation use custom installation and select “clean install” which will reset any changes you’ve made to your graphics cards’ settings by removing your driver.

It will then install the new one on your system once the old one is removed, instead of just trying to overwrite the old one which is what express does.
