I'd not like to thank the two bad relays so far identified (but still no idea what made them both fail together?)
So many cool people at Open Sauce this year, makes me wish I could be there!

05.06.2025 12:27 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'm laughing because you've just stumbled upon the great Chicken Salt conspiracy - all the small containers of it you can buy at a supermarket are all wrong! This is the stuff I (and actual fish & chip shops) use. Fair warning, it comes in a literal bucket.

Happy 10,000th day-birthday, #Riven !
I played for maybe half an hour straight without issues, it just gets very hot to touch!
10.03.2025 10:07 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I wouldn't say it runs well by any means. But it's playable - just barely. The fps isn't a slideshow.
I'll leave it up to you why I needed this ;)
Hey @edoublea.bsky.social are you more amazed it runs or in pain over the low quality art assets & higher quality models popping in too late? :p 2/2
Playing the #Riven remake on something it's defs not designed to run on: a N100 CPU (low-power cheap 4-core thing with Intel Integrated graphics), no external GPU, only 8GB of RAM, plastic heatsink not metal, no cooling fans, in a case smaller than a laptop power supply, off a USB charger. 1/2

Is Alfred a zombie virus? Giant cyclops? A drunk guy singing karaoke? Who knows #Brisbane
