  • This is something that would be great for our 26lb mix. We don't know yet what he's a mix of, but we think it may be Bengal or Chausie. I need to flex my handy skills, and this feels like the purrfect way. Thanks for sharing!

  • Beyond Good & Evil remaster arrives next week with "improved graphics", new in-game content, and more
  • There was already an HD remaster released back in 2011... I'm all for crisper graphics, bugfixes and the like, as long as the core gameplay and charm from the beloved original is still there. Still also holding out for BG&E2, but that feels as close to vaporware as it stands.

    Also, fuck Ubisoft and their craptastic launcher. Main reason I have strayed from majority of their titles. Maybe it's a little pedantic, but I'm in the "Steam or no DRM" group if I bother with a game.

  • IGN immediately lays off every non-UK person at their newly bought sites, including some key members like deputy editor Alice Bell
  • While I still "subscribe" to Humble, I don't recall the last time I actually unpaused a month. Maybe this is the push I needed. Their offerings have been mostly subpar after they bought Humble. Not knocking the indie devs, I think my gaming tastes have changes over the years. Also, I don't need coupons for DLC, please and thank you.

  • A cop allegedly shot and killed his Lyft driver, claiming he was being kidnapped for a 'gay fraternity'
  • He was already on leave following an incident in December, 2023 when he was arrested after crashing his car while possessing 20 unprescribed Xanax pills.

    Sounds like he was outright delusional, and it very much feels like these two events are joined at the hip.

  • Streets of SimCity 27 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective
  • While it was extremely limited due to the tech at the time, I truly enjoyed this and SimCopter for the ability to drive/fly around your created cities. Would love to have seen some semblance of physics included. I just recall any cars you drove up/down hills just conformed to the terrain. Was still extremely fun.

  • Parents actually give this book to their kids.
  • Looks like it's still for sale in some capacity on Amazon (looked it up by the ISBN). First print was 1979, so it dates itself. The sample pages are... interesting.

  • Sencha on his very first cat tree
  • Ah, not a worry. I'm sure I'll find "the one" soon enough. Thanks!

  • Sencha on his very first cat tree
  • What tree is that? We have a rather chonky boi that we think is a Bengal mix, and there are days we think he'll topple over the regular sized trees we have (we have 3 other "normal" sized kittehs). I know they make large cat trees specifically for this, but any recs are welcome!

    Also, of course he's an awesome kitteh.

  • 2nd hand ThinkPad go brrrrr

  • AM5 B650M USB dropouts on cold boot

    Hey all, just recently treated myself to a new computer build after ~3 years, and I've been having nothing but trouble with USB dropouts. Had I done more research prior, I would have known about this issue that seems to have been prevalent since the AM4 days. Thing is, I've had great success with my prior build (AM4, Ryzen 7 3700x, 32GB 3600, RX 5700XT, Asrock Steel Legend mATX), so I wasn't thinking there'd be issue. Been nothing but frustration.

    Specs:

    • Asrock PG Riptide mATX
    • Seasonic Focus GX Gold 80+ 750W
    • Ryzen 7 7700 AM5
    • G.Skill Trident Z 32GB DDR5 6000 (Samsung chips)
    • Asrock RX 7800XT 16GB
    • 500GB Inland Pro NVMe (OS) - 2TB Samsung NVMe - 1TB Crucial MX500 SATA - 1TB WD Blue HDD - 4TB WD Blue HDD
    • Windows 11 Pro
    • Thermaltake Core v21 Case

    So to start it off, the USB dropouts have been... odd. They only seem to happen from a cold boot. It starts with a simple stutter where both my KB+M (wireless 2.4GHz) start lagging and stop any input, then pick back up. Then comes the audio stutter. Slowly but surely, within about 3-5 minutes, the whole system locks up. Upon having to hit the reset button on my case (as everything seizes up), everything works as if there's no issue whatsoever. Nothing in event viewer to coincide any Windows problems. Hell, I played Starfield for ~6 hours almost non-stop yesterday with nary an issue (although Akila City decided not to load in at once point).

    The other thing I find rather strange is that I could not get my RAM to reach the XMP 6000 settings, but if I set it to that and then downclock to 5600, I'm stable. Standard frequency is 4800. This issue happens even at the baseline.

    I've tried BIOS upgrades and downgrades, CMOS resets, tweaking the BIOS for the "known causes" of this bug (C-states, RAM timings, etc), and yet no change. I just hope this isn't coming down to an RMA of the board or whatnot. If there's anymore info I can provide, please ask.

    EDIT: I can't say for sure, but moving my regular USB 2.0 devices to the USB 3 slots seem to have resolve it. I'm still wary.

    EDIT 2: I unhooked all currently unneeded USB connections (including internal front USB3.0), with only my USB hub for BT and 2.4GHz dongles and my wired Xbox controller (2 ports total). I also read that one of the "solutions: back on Am4 for this bug was to turn down PCIe speeds from Auto or 4.0/5.0 to 3.0. I'm still being cautious, but right now I did a full shutdown, power cycled the PSU, and then rebooted afterward. Running RAM at 5400MHz.

    EDIT 3: Changing the PCIe speeds did not change a thing. USB seized up without any input. Upon reboot I reset defaults to the BIOS, and then, a new thing happened! Seemed to hang upon retraining of the RAM. Shut down via rear power switch, and upon this reboot, Windows refused to launch anything, even Task Manager. Multiple reboots and another BIOS default later, and I'm back to functioning (at least this boot). I'm actively shopping for a new motherboard, though choices are limited. I also can't return this mobo as it's my 2nd from Micro Center, with the first Riptide having bent pins.

    Recommendations on replacements welcome. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
