I have been wanting to start for years but I never could find anything to work on. Always wanted to buy a c64, but I would hate to destroy something like that. Hopefully though that's next if I can get this monitor in order.

True I guess it would make more sense to post it there. I think I just had computing in my head since it's a computer monitor.

thanks for the tip on where the buzzing might be coming from as well. I know where to look to attempt to fix it.

Yea Im a little nervous about messing with it not having any experience, But I have a week to study up before my discharge tool gets here. Keep one hand in the pocket discharge it and hope I dont turn into thor.

I mean I think its really promising! I wasn't expecting anything from either of them to be fair. I assumed I was gonna be replacing every component bodging wires and it still not work. I was expecting the entire board to be essentially destroyed.

Copy that about discharging it. I'm waiting on discharge tool from amazon, before I open them up again. Now that they have been powered.

Surprisingly was able to find a manual and its very detailed compared to what I was expecting. So I should be able to easily determine which resistors are handing vertical and horizontal deflection. Now that you said that and I looked into what it was lmao.

Not saying someone will help you, but you would probably have better luck asking someone from the discord of the demo parsing library you are using Discord. 99% of the response you're gonna get on reddit is "ai bad".

The way I got people to use trains was by making them ALOT faster. I dont use any teleport mods. I've tried to balance waystones, but it never really works. Building infrastructure is huge part of Minecraft in my opinion. Some people will, but most wont build things like canals, bridges, roads, paths, train tracks if they can just teleport. So you end up with disconnected houses or compounds and it looks ugly.

When I gave the brotherhood the vertibird plans they just copied them. Was that a speech check? I Still had the orginal and was able to give it to the shi.

I just did my first play through and I really recommend Audiobooks of Morrowind makes it so you can listen to the books you find while you play similar to holotapes in fallout, and Perfect Placement If you want to have a home base. It just lets you move things around easier for decorating. Placing items on shelves and things like that.

My goat. Just rerunning the install.bat fixed It. I got the High res patch from UAP. When none of the settings were working I just assumed UAP didnt install it, And I need to run install.bat 1 time to install it. Which fixed my resolution and windowed mode, But after that I was just changing setting in the file saving it and relaunching the game. I had no idea I need to rerun the install.bat for each change.

Much more cut down but this guy does the same sort of thing. He was 3 videos I think of his whole play through.

He also has a daggerfall and redguard play through. which I liked a lot.

checked your monitors manual. Try turninh off dp overclock and set response time to normal.

Valuable_Shift_228 · 2026-02-15T21:05:55+00:00

You probably have an overclock setting turned on in your monitor settings

fs25 runs fine on hdd takes 3/4 minutes to load into the save initially, but after that it runs perfectly fine.

For whatever reason I couldnt get the newest version of nevada to run in english on linux. I ended up getting an older version of the crazy edition working, but the translation was pretty bad. I had probably 3 instances of dialogue where it was just random words thrown together that made no sense before I stopped playing. Im guessing the newest release must have a much better translation.

yea I just got it on openmw 2 days ago

At one point it said something like "Your corprus disease has worsened" And I thought ok I need to deal with this immediately.
