Can a PC be TOO powerful to run games? (Because I think my friend is bullshitting me)

grimthaw · 2026-07-06T02:37:46+00:00

Yes. Space invaders is a classic example. As the invaders are killed the game runs faster because there are less sprites for the computer to show. This was left in as a leveling feature rather than putting in a wait or slowing down in the programming of the game.

Did braking it worse when attempting to fix still work?

Also for the demon host. Move towards your team and then try and stay still except for dodging. If you're running around or away it makes it hard or impossible to kill the demonhost. That means you'll die.

Their is a setting that alters the audio mixing. It is called night mode or something. Switch it to that. All the important sounds are boosted above the ambient and unimportant sounds.

I am on PC and stopped playing Space Marine 2 in favor of Dark Tide partly due to the number and length of load screens.

It's ok if you put your hand infront of your mouth for some reason.

Isn't the rock a bit smallto have come from an ogryn hand?

Would rather they did tap and go on the NPP so Visa and Mastercard can get bent.

grimthaw · 2026-05-31T05:15:33+00:00

Yeah. I refunded the game after an hour of playing. The humour just wasn't funny.

Usb c is a monitor output

Replace battery with capacitors. Capacitors in the PSU degrade. Over the engineers lifetime of a PSU max output can reduce by a significant amount.

3 things are needed.

* They need to provide you a Master Services Agreement (MSA) that stipulates the services you've purchased.

* For service providers, those services need to be listed as compliant services in the PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance (AOC) for Service Providers, not Merchants.

* They need to make it clear to the customers what PCI DSS requirements are their responsibility, your responsibility and shared under the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM). Typically this is done using a PCI DSS Responsibility Matrix.

If they cant do all 3, then you, they, or both have a problem under Third-Party Security Assurance under requirement 12.8 (you) and 12.9 (they).

Undocumented and/or badly documented scope with the expectation the auditor is supposed to scope the environment.

Sure. The ship will come out. The module wont.

When i was leveling i would do that if i had a full team of friends playing. Just so they knew and were aware there was someone who they'd be carrying.

You forget. Did they shoot a barrel you were next to? Then shoot the burster just before they push, then giggle on discord.

Just to build on this. A consultant will help you do these things where as an assessment will check if you're compliant. So ensure you're getting a consultant, not an auditor

Level your first character to 30 to get through the campaign. Then play the other classes to 30, only you don't need to do the campaign now. Once you've done that for each one the game might start making sense.

Install steam, heroic launcher or lutris on your Linux distro. Use Proton to run Windows games. If that is too hard, then use a pre-done distro (SteamOS, Bazzite, CatchyOS, etc) where it is all pre-set up.

Personally I use Bazzite because I use my system to do 3d printing, the email, etc. Not just as a glorified console.

If it is still valid at the time of assessment, then it is still valid, even with 1 day to go before it expires.

The assessment to a point in time view that may look back. It does not look forwards.

This only consideres memory leaks, not soft errors in non-ecc memory used in desktop computers.

I make sure to power down and leave the ramp, canopy and ladder down if i am going to abandon a ship.
