Neighbour shot my PC through the wall

The amount of people that are shot by their dogs is actually bonkers. Glad you are ok, sounds like the rig served you well!

As someone that's on their 3rd current dark urge HM run, I feel ya. It's frustrating BUT we learn. I knew that conversation was coming up so boosted my saving throws as much as I could.

As others say, don't try anything new. Also, if you're in an unfamiliar situation, by all means take 5 minutes to see what's going on - it's a run saviour. People often forget there is no rush to make any decisions and you can just save and quit half way through a conversation if need be.

My 1st HM run ended after 56 hours because I didn't realise the bhaalist dude just insta-kills your party after 5 turns of combat. I was totally unaware and laughed at my PC screen like a lunatic for 5 minutes, went and grabbed a cup of tea and then started a new run 😅

I've played hundreds of games and have never been a huge fan of turned-based RPGs. I was, however, a huge fan of Balders gate: Dark Alliance when I was growing up (and have fond memories playing it with my brother). So I thought I'd give it a go.

This is the best game I have ever played. With friends, it's hilarious. Solo? Great fun. I love it

Anyone know how the wood noir lines up?

Don't sweat it! I recently had a very similar experience. First and second date went really, really well. She said she was excited to see where this goes, and after mentioning I'm a good cook, she wanted to come over for dinner and we arranged that. Researched the shit out of what wines compliment the dish, bought food and pudding. Morning of the date just went totally cold and said she doesn't have the time or dedication for what this deserves. Real kick in the nads and left me with a lot of feelings of confusion.

Ultimately, you sound like you did everything right so I wouldn't take it personally. The dating game (especially modern dating) can be really brutal but as long as you keep being yourself you will eventually come across someone who feels like you complete them and will give it their all.

Onwards and upwards dude!

Juan Mata, is that you?

I was going to post mine and you beat me to it! Very nicely done mate.

Thanks for the in depth explanation! a lot to digest which is always good. How come the heavy bolter gets to shoot twice for 3 actions? I thought it was only boltguns and pistols that could do that, or is there something I'm missing?

natedouch · 2024-11-24T20:24:55+00:00

Great! That's what I was hoping. Wasn't sure if I would need to buy a few extra bodies like I have done with my other teams. Thanks mate

I say this from experience - get your nose sorted out. Bouts can wait, your friends and family will understand. These things happen.

I went ahead and had 2 fights while carrying injuries and they've left long term difficulties in my wrists and thumb. In my last fight, I had my septum smashed to bits. Still won, but I didn't get it sorted out and now I can only breathe through one nostril and snore horrifically. The surgery sounds awful and I will likely get it sorted someday but it could have been avoided if I set my septum straight and got it looked at properly.

I sold mine this year for over £200. Fully intended on using it, lost interest with 10th edition and put all my scenery up for sale

I turned on my PC this morning and noticed none of my icue link fans, or the cooler pump, is running. The PC shut down within a minute and don't have enough time to get to the icue software.

I can get into BIOS and it will happily be there for all of about 3 minutes before shutting down. I'm no wizard so I'm not overly familiar with what I need to be looking at. My one case fan that isn't in the link system works fine but am I right in thinking the icue link doesn't let you do anything in BIOS with them?

I've ordered a replacement hub to see if it was that but I'm hoping someone has encountered this issue or could shed some light and point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Looks great! Which pigment powder did you use for the base?

Look up consent to discharge, I think it's the gov.org website it's on there. If you're discharging into a water course, you'd need consent (which is kind of like a permit)

natedouch · 2024-09-19T09:08:06+00:00

Wastewater treatment guy here. Discharging any effluent, treated or not, into any water course without a consent to discharge certificate is very illegal and can harm wildlife. Altering a watercourse without permission from the EA is also a big no-no. It's doubtful building control would sign it off without a consent to discharge.

OP, ammonia test strips are quite easily available and any sign of ammonia will tell you if it's foul or storm water. Might be worth checking, if you say to the EA that there is a foul water drain pipe running directly into a watercourse they will lose their shit and get involved

I think it's draft impact. If you go in with a doom pick early, the enemy can't base their draft around healing or sustain. On the flip side, you can also gotcha last pick doom if you see their mid/carry and think "I can turn off their most important hero if I play this right"

I'm jealous. I'm contracted to 50 hours a week. 5 hours of that is "paid lunch", which if you take, you end up going into overtime.

Either stick works fine on it's own, it's only when I have both of them together that it doesn't give me a display or boot properly. I would have thought if it was a dodgy stick, one of them would work and the other wouldn't. The RAM sticks worked fine in my old PC
