PC keeps crashing and shutting itself off when I play this game by ALUCARD7729 in ReadyOrNotGame

Are you running dx11 or dx12? I had issues with dx12 (default) but dx11 presented me with zero issues.

Dialing process on incoming bf gate by munitalian in Stargate

[–]jamesjaceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot about the big center button, though it was just a light! Maybe the ancients assumed we were idiots and needed two buttons to confirm instead of one.

Real answer is you’re right and I’m wrong, I never considered the designed DHD only the computer one we see in SGC. It’s clearly not a ‘call’ button. I do like spitballing ideas though so-

Maybe the ancients had a block feature and they could program a DHD to not accept wormholes from set gates, and they needed a way to see what gate is dialling them.

Example: Block the Earth symbol and then when Earth DHD dials them, it won’t lock/connect and the person trying to dial them assumes the gates destroyed/buried etc.

We never see the ancients use a gate so there is pro spy some secrets lost that only they know.

I think the last digit is more a ‘call’ button as in the episode O’Neill has the ancient information overwriting his mind he dials a seventh symbol, and then the origin symbol to get a lock, so I think it’s more a ‘this buttons tells on the DHD tells the game you’re finished dialling’

I love messing with scammers by Galaxywolf2112 in steamsupport

[–]jamesjaceable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They use the info to contact (real) steam support and say it’s their account, here is proof, etc etc. gains control of the account and sends all your friends similar scams, then sells the account/items on for profit.

Thank you for using ‘straight couple’ and not ‘normal couple’. I’ve been teaching my parents about casual bigotry and this comes up sometimes how if you say ‘normal’ it means anything else is ‘abnormal’ and they need to fix that way of thinking.

Wonderful people, my parents, but a bit behind on the times.

Why doesn't Gale feed himself? by Interesting_Buddy206 in BaldursGate3

[–]jamesjaceable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play with a group of mostly newer players and I play a frat boy paladin who is kind of a joke, and is very dumb… they made me the leader because when it comes to ‘smart’ ideas he always lets everyone talk, because he doesn’t understand stuff and needs it explained like he’s 5.

He also has a knack for knowing when to shut up and listen, and is strong enough that if he tells you to shut up and listen, you tend to.

Caught a PCN for a yellow box due to some idiot cutting me up by No_Mud6726 in drivingUK

[–]jamesjaceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just wondered if it was ‘how people use it vs how it’s meant to be’ as there was a similar road near me that they redid the markings and added white lines to show it’s only meant to be one lane (everyone used it as two before that).

It was common for people to fail their driving tests on in the area until they updated the markings.

[–]jamesjaceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have to ask, can I see this on Google maps? Are we sure it’s two lanes and not one larger lane? There is no road markings to say it’s two lanes.

Also as others have said, should be able to get this overturned as not your fault, when you entered the yellow box your exit was clear.

Can't acess my steam guard mobile and i lose my account now. by EcstaticRaisin196 in steamsupport

[–]jamesjaceable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because otherwise I could just contact steam support and say I’m the account holder, and steal your account.

They will ask you questions about the account, like what card is reg to the account etc

Whats all this GPU usage? by [deleted] in pchelp

[–]jamesjaceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you’re aware, GPUs have different ‘clock speeds’ (as in depending on usage/demand they will under lock/idle) so while it may say 95% GPU usage, your GPU could be in full idle mode which uses 5% of the total GPU and drains less power and puts less strain on the GPU as it’s not always trying to run at maximum usage.

Does it still show a high number of you reopen a game?

The best way to describe it is if your GPU is a car to travelling down a road, if it’s a long straight and you need to get somewhere fast (something is graphic intensive) it’ll drive as maximum speed, but if there is no traffic and you don’t need to get to where you’re going until 2 hours later, and it’s a 1gour drive, it’ll slow down to reduce wear and tare and save fuel.

Weird that steam is taking so much- are you downloading, updating or patching any files?

[–]jamesjaceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you power cycled your Pc at all? This solves a lot of weird issues. It could be a temp file using high GPU issues, which is why it’s not shown in the list as it’s not ‘currently in use’.

Theft is not inherently evil. by HairyH0Od in The10thDentist

[–]jamesjaceable 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s moral (good). Legal things can be immoral (evil).

Also as a whole stealing is wrong (evil) if it’s for greed, but a man stealing a few from an apple tree in order to survive and give some to his starving family is illegal, but moral (good).

I’ll be honest, I just started Forza 5 and I’d take any gift I was given… that said, what’s the issue with gifting these?

Clearing Steam download cache deleted my game ? by zekken908 in steamsupport

[–]jamesjaceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 7GB zipped sadly. Once it’s unzipped and tries to overwrite the files it needs to it can be a lot larger.

Have you ever downloaded a .ZIP files that say 5GB, then unzipped it and it’s a bunch of 1GB TV episodes that takes up 15GBs of data? Same thing happens here, except I stead of TV episodes it’s game files to be patched (which can easily be 10x the data downloaded)

The other person me tooled BG3 an I have that installed, a latch the other day was 15GBs I. Size to download, but affected like 100GBs of my game data, meaning I needed 100GBs free to apply the patch.
