    I'm NaClKnight (he/him) and my links are all at SalineSolutions.lol

    I'm on social media to be social. Let's chat. I'm Black (shoutout to ⁨⁩ ⁨⁩ ⁨⁩), American (born and raised in Los Angeles) socialist, straight, cis, male, and happily married. Any flirting is strictly unserious, but  some posts will be lewd, thirsty, or NSFW, especially during ⁨⁩.

    I write short stories and serialized novels that mostly include Fighting, witty banter, and love, sex, or romance. Currently that means , a raunchy MMA promotion started by college students, and My Super Hot Dark Love, a romance novel about a supervillain whose takeover of a new town is impeded by a charming superhero.

    I play fighting games (⁨⁩), Tactics or Soulslike RPGs, and Shooters on ⁨⁩ but I'll try just about anything. I build and sell ⁨⁩ and will always offer help or advice if you want it. Currently playing and as of this post. If you play Fighting games, let's play some casual sets.

      Total Reload (PC) You wake up in an AI's droid body, and are quickly tasked with solving your way through the puzzle maze he's been building for millennia, with quite the lofty goal as your reward.
      This is a pretty good Portal inspired FP puzzle game. Has all the things you'd expect: a disembodied "AI" talking to you, cubes, a gun, lots of rooms that require you to figure out the what the order of actions is.
      Gonna get my 2 major nitpicks out the way first. 1) the actor playing the AI speaks in a stilted, fast odd pattern, which is fine, but also mispronounces words for .. reasons? Ex, "cube" is "koob". IDK, maybe it's just a me thing but I thought it was annoying. 2) I found myself slowed down by the switch hitboxes being so small that if you're carrying a cube, you can get it "knocked out" of your hands, making you have to pick it up and hit the switch again etc. (I also had odd issues with the controls/controller at times, but that could be a local deal with my Linux Distro.)
      However, those weren't a big enough deal to detract from my enjoyment of the game. It's not Portal (but what could be, really) but I certainly found myself scratching my head more than a few times trying to decipher what I was supposed to do, which is great for this kinda game.
      The story is decent, and being able to "ask" the AI questions is a neat add. Mechanics are a bit floaty and slow but it's not gratingly so. The few music tracks don't get annoying which is good as you'll hear them often, heh.
      All around this is a very good effort to make a Portal game by a small dev. If you like the genre you should pick it up. It's a solid 3/5 👍

        Freshly rebuilt Gaming with the lights and the liquid cooling.

        Labor. Of Love. New reservoir with mounts designed/3D printed by me, new radiator, new fans, new hard line tubing between CPU and Rad.

        What was meant to be a routine cooling flush became a weeklong project.

        Custom liquid cooling loops are tedious and expensive and you should not do them but GAHDAM they look pretty AF

          Awhile back I got a cheap “Linux” sticker pack with way more stickers than I wanted. They now decorate this PC that I put together from spare parts. This PC can only run Linux now :)

              I refuse to believe that RAM prices up 400% in a quarter is some market fluctuation. This is a supply-chain heist.

              Every bit of hate directed at AI companies is justified and possibly, milder than it should be. It ought to be 100x more.

              Every extra dollar you spend on a simple DDR5 kit is a direct subsidy for a tech-bubble. So a bunch of crybabies sitting in silicon valley can push out a hallucinating machine, scam some more VCs, help create the biggest unemployment hysteria in modern history, give multi-millionaire CEOs an excuse to lay off hard-working employees?

              Burn it all down.

                High CPU usage in Windows 11 usually means a process is using more CPU cycles than it should. It could be due to excessive background apps, pending Windows updates, corrupted system files, or high-resource processes like antivirus scans and indexers.

                Fixes for High CPU Usage (Windows 11)

                Restart Your PC: This is the quickest way to clear stuck processes and memory.

                Use Task Manager: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, find processes with high CPU usage, right-click them, and select "End task".

                Disable Startup Apps: In Task Manager, go to the "Startup apps" tab, right-click unnecessary apps, and select "Disable".

                Update Windows & Drivers: Go to Settings > Windows Update to ensure you have the latest performance patches.

                Check Power Settings: Search for "Choose a power plan" in the Control Panel, and select "Balanced" or "High Performance".

                Scan for Malware: Run a full scan with Windows Defender, as viruses can cause high CPU usage.

                Disable SysMain (Superfetch): Search for "Services," find "SysMain," right-click to stop it, which can reduce background resource usage.

                Disable High Precision Event Timer: In Device Manager, find "High precision event timer" under System Devices, right-click, and disable it

                  Well, that was a bust. Replaced the CPU on the motherboard - CPU error light still goes on as soon as it powers up and it's not POSTing - can't even reach the bios.

                  Apart from replacing the motherboard I can't think of anything else.

                    One of the shoulder buttons on my old is failing… 🫤

                    This is one reason why I like : failing input devices can be repaired/replaced separately from the computer and display. And even if I get an entirely new PC, my old games will still work, going back 45 years.

                    Unless their code does something so outrageously unwise that Microsoft bans them, that is. Looking at you, .
