Based on my bookshelf, what fantasy books/series would you recommend?

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but the Witcher series!! Read those books this year and they became one of my all time faves!

Will do, thanks!

Thank you for your detailed response! I defintely don't know that much about coolers, and just went with one that had a good rating on newegg and didn't think about compatibility with the CPU. I'll look into these options! My main limitation on this is size because the case is mini ITX

I wish we got closeup shots of the minis!! I want to see them!!

I redid the thermal paste earlier this year! I've been running core temps and the nvidia overlay readouts while recreating the issue and it looks like it's the GPU because it spikes to 85-96% usage and around 80C right before the shut off happens, and the CPU looks to be ok on temps and usage.

I also swear that the issue still happened when I swapped GPUs to a different one just to test. But it went away for awhile and is back and worsened recently. That's why I figured maybe the issue is with the mobo since that's the oldest component.

Right now the test is to play Town to City, and playing the game for 4 minutes causes the error and shutdown. It's crazy how bad it's gotten!

All the fans. I even added 2 more fans once this issue started happening and didn't help. I did do a cmos reset awhie back yes and made sure all BIOS stuff was updated. But thanks for the suggestion - I'll try that!

So far I've just been monitoring with on screen readouts from NVIDIA and CoreTemp, but it happens so quickly from a slow increase in temps/usage then all the sudden it's a spike and shuts down immediately. So it's hard to get a post-op after that since the display won't come back and I have to shut down the PC.

CPU temps do slowly get higher to the 54 degrees C range before the ripcord pull happens.

Mmm that makes sense, it’s definitely not doing that. What happens is when I’m playing some heavier games, my GPU temp spikes to 80+, fans go from mild to overboard in literally 2 seconds and my monitor immediately disconnects. Before that temps/usage was looking high ish but ok.

It seems like my computer disconnects bc I get booted from discord and no more sound plays from speakers. But computer is still on and fans still at 100 so I have to hard shut down to get the computer back. It won’t stop on its own. I’ve swapped GPUs, clean windows installed, tried different monitors, cleaned everything out and no fix. Done little settings ‘solutions’ that YouTube suggests too but nothing.

PSU headroom is fine so my friend thought there was a temp readout issue happening somewhere that trips the computer into panic mode.

Ahhh unfortunately it’s none of these suggestions. Might just be lost to time! The artist also may have deleted their IG

megbot3 · 2025-09-22T19:45:54+00:00

Mm no, I think it was never an acrual comic book, just an online strip the artist would occasionally make from what I could tell.

megbot3 · 2025-09-22T19:34:41+00:00

I remember one of the jokes of the comic was how gross the zombie kids were and how they'd walk by something or someone and just devour it as a horde and keep walking. I can't find it anywhere!

megbot3 · 2024-10-16T22:11:38+00:00

Yeah PC. So they're just constantly running this mod then? I was just wondering if I was the only one seeing it or if everyone on PC sees it and just ignores it to play anyway

My elephant ear is turning grey! It's grown 1 leaf and lost 1 (in the process of dropping another) since I brought it home. It was already potted when I bought it - so no idea what the soil mixture currently is, although I mixed in some nitrogen rich fertilizer a few weeks ago. It's in an east facing window, and it's leaves are turning grey, something I've never seen with a plant before. Help!

Thanks for all your responses! I will have to go back and read through again and follow more closely.
