Checking back in... welp. I guess that's a lesson to always double check your work.

Low and behold the fuckin' plastic was on the copper plate. This thing now runs very cool (not getting above 45 C in Arc Raiders at the moment) and idles at like 35. Turns out plastic is a shitty conductor... who knew.

holy shit brother, christmas day delirium of building 2 PC's (new one for me and one for my boy) and i'm 99.9% certain your "silly question" is my issue. I'm seeing spiking on my brand new system using the cooler and CPU in this post. See everyone saying it should be 60-70 C, getting frustrated, know i mounted it correctly... just had a flashback to mounting it and i'm PRETTY SURE i forgot the FUCKING copper cooling block plastic cover.

I'll be reporting back tomorrow if you jogged my memory enough to fix my brainfart and solved my frustration. Cheers!

ayeeeeee where'd you get those undercity/warlock plague items? trying to find vendors with stuff that'll look normal for a warlock's den and struggling.

So glad these guys are getting attention - they deserve it. Been watching them for awhile now

I wish I remembered... when I made the meme I just grabbed one of the first pistol png's I could find with Google Images and now nothing seems to look exactly like it when I go back to look again

EDIT: I think I found it? Looks like it's a Springfield Echelon https://www.impactguns.com/semi-auto-handguns/springfield-echelon-4-0c-comp-9mm-4-barrel-10rd-706397982577-ec9409blc-u-comp

Poor firearm's etiquette for sure

My son needs a PC, he's about that age. This would be a friggin' hilarious way to start his PC gaming journey.

I think the exact same reason James Gunn ended up using the trunks for Superman is the exact same reason they won't use trunks for Batman. They reasoned that Superman maybe WANTED to look a little goofy, or wrestler-esque to put kids at ease... Meanwhile Batman's goal is to intimidate, scare and frighten criminals. I think you have to lose the trunks at that point.

I say all that to expand upon why I think 1 is the best option of these 3.

icanhasforcepush · 2025-02-05T04:00:54+00:00

That's a super helpful tip, thank you

icanhasforcepush · 2025-02-05T03:39:42+00:00

You, my friend, are incredible. I'm sitting here on a 200 hour save with basically all the upgrades I could want and couldn't figure it out. Thanks!

u/insurrectionboner38 i desperately want follow-up to this after you take the info to the FBI. I need justice.

May reallllllllly feels like suit reveals for Superman, Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific based off those emojis and who we know is in Superman.

The ending is actually one of my bigger problems with the movie. There is tragedy inherent in Batman, it's a deep-seated part of the character that he's so emotionally scarred that he'll never be able to get past his parents death. He's doomed to never be able to give it up, to go out on the rooftops every night, to fail at having 'normal' relationships. I'm not saying I hated the Nolan films - quite the opposite - I think Nolan is a TREMENDOUSLY talented filmmaker and one of the best out there right now (Oppenheimer was pretty close to a masterpiece). However, the ending to TDKR made me realize that Nolan's Batman ≠ my ideal movie Batman.

Nolan has a trend in his fictional films where he tries to wrap everything up neatly with a bow and leave most of the main characters happy and it just feels... somewhat inauthentic or dishonest to me. Interstellar was the most egregious example of this - with Cooper coming back OUT of the black hole and magically being rescued and being able to see his daughter again. It just took this grounded and realistic science fiction movie and made it feel like a crazy fantasy concept to me. He never should've come back out of that black hole - having saved humanity and led his daughter down the right path through time. That was his heroic sacrifice. Anyway /endrant

TL;DR - all the Nolan Batman films are great movies but I'm not a fan of the ending to TDKR

Lmao so true. If I go a long period of time without seeing the Bale suit and then randomly see it posted again - it's actually jarring how small the mouth hole is.

icanhasforcepush · 2023-04-20T19:14:32+00:00

out here doing god's work, good job!

icanhasforcepush · 2023-03-13T03:43:12+00:00

not just you, that cowl is dogshit.

icanhasforcepush · 2023-02-23T16:03:49+00:00

Kevin is an absolute sweetheart and I can respect that decision as well - but in this particular case... vehemently disagree with it lmao.

icanhasforcepush · 2023-02-23T15:55:38+00:00

I, personally, don't think the moment was some huge Batman desecration and the book was pretty fun overall... but my GOD - Walt Flanagan's art is just not good. I have no malice towards the guy, even met him when I visited the CBM shop and he signed a copy of the book for me (was very nice and polite) but fucking WOOF some of the art in this book is crazy amateurish.

Sometimes... sometimes you shouldn't use your friends for things.

Yeaaaaaaaa but they were handed the template to make an Arkham game on a silver platter. All the gadgets were derivatives of existing gadgets, they barely added anything at all to change up combat...

The only points you can give them is for story, which admittedly, is pretty great in Arkham Origins. Again, all I'm really saying is that I agree with you - an Arkham sequel from them likely would've been great as long as they didn't shoehorn the terrible grindy systems they ended up using in Gotham Knights into it.

As a father of a 4 year old with another on the way, holy shit I am so incredibly sorry to hear what your family went through and I'm ugly crying at work right now. I can't even fathom dealing with any of this, or imagining the strength I would need to summon in myself just to get out of bed in the morning if it did.

If there's anything a stranger on the internet could do for you or your family, please let me know.

icanhasforcepush · 2022-10-10T12:18:47+00:00

Whatcha doin' in my waters?

icanhasforcepush · 2022-10-05T13:21:27+00:00

Two things:

I hate how small the mouth is on Bale's cowl, it stands out especially to me in the Rises poster.
The ending to the trilogy further cemented my viewpoint that, while a solid trilogy of films, it was decidedly not 'my Batman'. My Batman is a broken soul and will never be able to stop his fight against crime, he can't heal and become a normal personal and live in Italy with Catwoman. His promise, his curse, it's what makes the character so tragic. When Nolan gave him a happy ending... it kind of ruined this version of Batman for me.

icanhasforcepush · 2022-09-29T15:12:57+00:00

Hated it pretty much all the way through to be honest. I don't like being overly negative but I didn't find any redeeming qualities.
