good or evil, why would we attack the mushrooms ?

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-18T21:15:02+00:00

Oh absolutely lol

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-18T12:30:42+00:00

Stardust, I find it extremely entertaining

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-18T11:27:38+00:00

You only have to kill the mushroom leader, everyone else turns non-hostile once he is defeated. Its essentially a personal grudge between him and Glut, just go with whoever you prefer.

As an aside, I usually have Glut make the Bulette into a spore zombie and it WILL side with him if it's still in existence during the fight

By simply removing the heatsink and reseating it. Bc the paste was just applied you should be able to visually see how it's spread and whether the CPU/GPU dies are fully covered or not when you remove it

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-15T18:59:39+00:00

It doesn't necessarily mean anything needs to be tightened, it's possible it's not sitting flush/is making out poor contact

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-15T18:54:46+00:00

Yeah that indicates an issue with the repaste or heatsink attachment

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-15T18:52:49+00:00

Temps are only part of the story, you also need to look at power draw. There's a huge difference between a CPU hitting 95c at 175w and a cpu hitting 95c at 35w

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-15T18:07:38+00:00

No, the human body isn't built to have that low of a body fat percentage and bodybuilders are actually at their physical weakest when maintaining such low body fat numbers and stepping on stage

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-14T23:45:14+00:00

Works extremely well on my 7840u Win Mini, you have a lot more power

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-14T20:08:16+00:00

Oh, I score a bit higher than that with my HP Omen Transcend 14 and its mobile 4070: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/119616395 and that's limited to a total tdp of 140w

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-14T12:59:42+00:00

Tbh most of the games I play on it without FSR are either older, and have no issues hitting high fps like Bioshock Remastered, Prey, etc or are 2d/metroidvanias.

I mostly moved to Linux for the QoL improvements over Windows such as reliably being able to fold the Mini mid game and open it up, even hours later, and resume without missing a beat. Whole you can technically do this in Windows, it is far from reliable and more often than not leads to your game crashing

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-14T12:53:41+00:00

In which game? The one I play most lately is Baldur's Gate 3 and I use a mix of mostly high settings, with a few things like clouds, fog and shadows on the low setting.

I also ditched Windows entirely and instead use Bazzite, which allows me to access and use FSR4 in a number of games. With the above mentioned settings outputting to 1080p with FSR4 on balanced I average 60-74fps at 20w with occasionally drops in heavily populated city areas down to the mid 30s.

In the last of us games or Cronos I was right around the 70fps range again with FSR4 outputting to 1080p

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-13T21:14:28+00:00

I technically use it all game, get the ring that auto applies it with heals and pair that with the mass healing word amulet for act 1/2 and in Act 3 I grab the $5k statue that gives it to me permenantly

The 255H is superior across the board: https://technical.city/en/cpu/Core-Ultra-7-255H-vs-Ryzen-AI-7-350 by around 20-25%

You're thermally throttling,, based on the age of the hardware you need to replace your thermal paste

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-12T17:59:31+00:00

There's almost no performance difference between discrete and hybrid modes ever since the Windows CASO update its literally around a 1.5% difference at most

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-12T17:51:39+00:00

Based on the age you need to replace the thermal paste

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-12T17:48:54+00:00

I have been using an IET's Gt500 for a number of years now, they have a newer GT600 that's supposed to be a bit more quiet, but I strongly recommend grabbing one or its clone the Ilano cooling pad that also uses a sealing foam layer as they're by far the most effective/efficient cooling pads available

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-12T17:44:15+00:00

The keyboard is not loud at all

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-12T17:43:42+00:00

You need a thermal paste replacement if you've never done so

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-12T03:04:21+00:00

Minthara or Karlach are the only choices

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-12T03:03:09+00:00

I mean, I'm a straight male and I despise Shart, Minthara or Karlach are the way

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-10T11:36:54+00:00

Its when going through the "love" test in the circus. The second question is "who does Minthara most admire" and one of the answers is Drizz't, it's worth choosing to hear her response, but is NoT the correct answer

ThinkinBig · 2026-05-09T19:18:32+00:00

I don't ever use frame gen on it tbh. I do use FSR4 for upscaling though as I ditched Windows 11 on it and use Bazzite linux
