How often do you feed your cat wet food compared to dry food? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

4 cats. We feed them all wet food (Friskies/Tastefuls) morning and night, and have an auto-feeder for 3 of them. The 4th has a kibble addiction so the auto-feeder has a RFID tag which locks upon him getting close, and we feed him ~1/4 cup dry food early afternoon.

I figured that was the case, but what's the fun of modding without some screwed up textures, some futzing around with the 254 esp limit, and a couple of annoying CTDs?

Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow in c/[email protected]

I never finished The Witness either, but I kinda wished I would have, as the philosophical nature and puzzles were both very engrossing, such a unique take on the "walking simulator" style of game. Granted, it was much more than that, and I'd actually compare it closer to Myst and Obduction than such. The puzzles were repetitive but just incentive enough to be engaging and twisted in just the right way, though they got devilishly difficult later on. Sucks about the motion sickness though. Wonder if there was an .ini swing which could've turned the filter off?

Though, all in all, this was definitely a difficult "separate the art from the artist" scenario.

Not sure how or if it's mess up current saves or not, but if you've not considered it yet, is would recommend trying it A Tale Of Two Wastelands. Merges FO3's Capital Wasteland with FNV's Mojave via train ride. Keeps all the mechanics as well.

Braid was a solid game all its own, and a remaster certainly wasn't needed (yet or at all). The Witness was freaking phenomenal, and I hope there will be other iterations of games like it to come. Blow can go blow away though. He's an anti-vaxxer and Covid conspiracy theorist, and that is something I can write off as anyone worth acknowledging. Plenty of other amazing games in the sea.

Oh, if that was considered a lot. Was just reading comments the other day of someone with 5000+

This is what happens when one mod has patches for other mods... I'm looking at Jk's Skyrim. I think it makes up 100+ esps on its own with all the compatibility patches.

Same with the VR version. While I could've made it easy in myself and used a Wabbajack modlist, instead I have a monstrosity of 1100 mods that seems to work for the most part. Only one CTD in 10 hours lol. Still my favorite VR game overall.

These acquisitions have resulted in rate increases ranging from 44.9% to 116.6%<

Yeah, first-hand experience that this blows. Our water facilities were purchased by Pennsylvania American Water late last year, and our bill nearly doubled from a flat $80/mo to a minimum of $120, and fluctuates with usage. Nextdoor was flooded with angry residents. "Something something shareholders need to make back the millions we spent improving ur wooder supply".

AM5 B650M USB dropouts on cold boot (lemmy.world)

submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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.
