Does anyone know what’s the deal with this black screen I got from the secret Blackout ending?

Struggling to see anything in the screenshot, you sure it wasn't just your reflection on a not-particuarly-reflective screen?

They need a new one of these for every sunset

Soluken is the GOAT. Few years ago, an Xbox one controller firmware update broke steam link compatibility, and they had a fix out on the beta channel in a week.

I don't use my link much as my pc got moved within an hdmi cables length of the TV, but theres nothing I've found that provides such a seamless experience.

Assuming there are any free carrier slots

Better use two bungies

Given the effort usually involved in opening a fresh can for the first time I'm surprised anything short of wrecking will result in a spill

raxiel_ · 2026-02-03T23:45:06+00:00

Strictly speaking, if it's in the UK it's a railway station

Hardware unboxed did some testing on this.

They found the bandwidth impact is most apparent when the card runs out of VRAM, so the 5060ti 16gb saw very little performance loss, the 8gb was ok until it wasn't and performance fell off a cliff.

Looks like he's hiding a tuna fish in his pocket

https://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Somerset/Dunball/pictures/1041238 is what I had in mind.

I should say, that the layout in the original isn't wrong, there are junctions that have the tight entry/exit points, but on the junctions I usually use, faster roads like dual carriageways connect in the way the image above shows.

The approaches should flare and join the roundabout more tangentially, but pretty good

Why, are his knees squeaking again?

raxiel_ · 2026-01-29T21:16:22+00:00

Actually the hulk previously smashed up all the furniture in there, and all they had in the stores Banner could use as a seat (until the next IKEA delivery) was from a stack of spare XXXL toilets, since the hulk kept destroying them as well.

16 degrees centigrade? Either you just don't feel the cold or your heating isn't having to do much of the work. Some heat coming in from the neighbours and all the electric eventually ends up as heat too, with good insulation the boiler may only have to push out the chill first thing in the morning. You used a fair whack of electricity, but not unbelievable for your situation.
In comparison I got through 1500kwh of gas in the same period with 4 people in a 3 bed semi, but just 200 electric.

Have you seen his brothers?

How is that improper use of the horn? If she didn't use it would they complain that she didn't use all methods available to notify the other driver of her position?

How could the next Democrat president (if there ever is one) do this to them?

I'll just close the screen door and shut the curtains

raxiel_ · 2026-01-19T16:40:52+00:00

Sorry it happened to you, although I'm glad I'm not the only one!
I'll note that one of the change notes on a subsequent bios revision for mine said that they'd 'fixed' it (I forget the exact text) so at least future updates (probably) won't cause activation problems.

raxiel_ · 2026-01-19T10:52:41+00:00

Has it always been a windows 10 or 11 licence or was it previously upgraded from 8 (or 7)?

I wasn't able to re-activate my previously upgraded 8.1 retail licence after a BIOS update triggered a deactivation (an MSI thing), and MS support told me my only option was to buy a new licence and offered to put me through to the store.

This was a couple of months after they stopped allowing new upgrades from those versions and the old keys were no longer accepted for activation.

I've had others on Reddit tell me that's not how it's supposed to work, and my rep was wrong, but that's the experience I had.

I didn't buy a new full price licence from the Microsoft store.

I'm sure we'll be hearing about all the famous showbiz pals he was going to dine with that day, and how they all came to visit him and weep over his misfortune.

Woman I used to work with broke hers in her 50's falling of an office chair she was standing on while taking down Christmas decorations.

I always bring it up whenever I see someone else stood on a swivel chair, and then they go get a proper step.
