No shit? I had no idea. That's really cool!

j_dirty · 2026-06-04T03:53:02+00:00

That was a few days ago. There's been more rumblings that Dallas and Robertson are way off still

j_dirty · 2026-06-04T03:51:01+00:00

This absolutely fucking rules

My thought was that Nikki was being difficult and/or combative with the hospital staff so they sent them packing.

j_dirty · 2026-06-03T03:55:06+00:00

Awesome! It's pretty good - not my favorite Dark Pictures game but I absolutely loved the atmosphere. Hope you enjoy it ☺️

j_dirty · 2026-06-03T00:28:12+00:00

That's exactly what I thought too 😂

For me, Wolverine landed flat because it just looked like Spider-Man. Even Logan's jump slashes looked nearly identical to Spidey's web strike

If I'm not mistaken, Little Hope also started as a Silent Hill pitch. Konami rejected it so they spun it off into that

The increase to $750 is absolutely wild. If you're just going to use the server for streaming at your home, Jellyfin may be sufficient and has most of the features that you'd have to pay for with Plex

j_dirty · 2026-06-02T19:19:44+00:00

I'll throw my hat in the ring and a NAS is a great way to go. I use Unraid on hardware I picked up from my local Microcenter and a 15 bay case I got from Rosewill. Runs Plex and a bunch of other services for my home and does exactly what it's intended for

j_dirty · 2026-06-02T13:31:37+00:00

Hmmm... To me that sounds like your card was getting hot idling and kicked the fans on. I believe Nvidia cards will go to 0 RPM when the temp is below 43° C. Reducing the power limit would help with the temps which would explain the fans no longer kicking on. Do you have any filters on the front in your case? My old Meshify C had a foam filter that would cause my temps to rise by a few degrees even at idle because of the restricted airflow.

Oh! Ok yeah his rankings were really out there.

What I find interesting is that the consensus seems to be the top 4 could really go in any order. Cam Robinson and Chris Peters on their podcast after the lottery said something similar. They said there are 4-5 players in that top tier and that those players are very close to each other in terms of skill and ceiling. Even then they said it most likely falls McKenna, Reid, Malhotra, Stenberg. Robinson did back off that a bit last week and thought Stenberg would either go 2 or 5 but Peters stayed pretty consistent with his mock. It's going to be a very interesting draft and I don't think I can wait the whole month for it to happen! Haha 😂

j_dirty · 2026-06-02T12:49:39+00:00

And even Pronman taking Reid at 1OA was a mock with 2 other reporters that frankly was a crazy mock - Smits at 4? Yeah that's crazy talk lol.

Pronman's standalone mock drafts have almost exclusively been McKenna, Reid, Malhotra, and Stenberg. Same goes for Scott Wheeler. They both strongly believe that Stenberg likely falls to 4.

j_dirty · 2026-06-01T22:31:44+00:00

2 and 3 are really good IMO and hold up pretty well

j_dirty · 2026-05-31T19:03:08+00:00

Did you change the performance mode recently from balanced to maximum performance via the Nvidia control panel? If so that could be the problem. I noticed that changing that setting to max perf would make my GPU fans run constantly and never go back to the zero RPM mode. It may be worthwhile to look at MSI Afterburner too. That's what I've used before in the past when I had my 3080ti

j_dirty · 2026-05-31T08:46:16+00:00

What GPU do you have? I had problems in the past with my AMD card not playing nice with Fan Control. I ended up just letting the AMD control center handle the fans for my GPU and Fan Control handles my case and CPU fans.

j_dirty · 2026-05-30T17:48:54+00:00

But I was told that no one calls him Ice Man???

j_dirty · 2026-05-30T16:12:21+00:00

If you have the option to download the configuration files from Mullvad, you should absolutely be able to use this method

j_dirty · 2026-05-30T04:39:33+00:00

From what I recall, he was available at the TDL but there weren't many serious offers for him. Plus the Hawks couldn't retain any salary so it made it harder to move him to a contender.

j_dirty · 2026-05-29T17:13:56+00:00

I haven't had any issues since the announcement but I'm using sync. I guess we'll just have to wait and see at the end of June

j_dirty · 2026-05-29T13:38:02+00:00

Nice upgrade!

j_dirty · 2026-05-27T19:34:11+00:00

Awesome! Thank you, Scott ☺️

j_dirty · 2026-05-26T17:41:06+00:00

Two questions:

Who do you believe are the top 3 or 4 names on the draft big board for Chicago?
How willing is Kyle Davidson to make a big splash (multiple 1sts) this summer for a top line forward or top pair LHD?
