Holy crap, I didn’t know someone already translated this game into English long ago!πŸ‘€

Tenchi o Kurau II - Shokatsu Koumei Den / Destiny of The Emperor II

This is a very good RPG, folks. The music is nice too. Play it when you get the time. It’s well worth it!😌

It was over a 12V rail with a 100R to probably achieve a 5.1V reference voltage. It was generating so much heat that I thought something was wrong about it, but really, nothing was wrong now that I think about it.

What I did wrong was to replace that resistor with a piece of wire🀑

assembling FINAL FANTASY VII walkmeshes to see how they fit together (thanks @onetrickwolf.bsky.social for JSON dumps of the geometry). probably should've tried this before i drew the big Midgar map but still cool. maybe could use these as a basis for area detail maps. some comments in alt text

This zener diode has Z5.1 printed on it. Does it mean its Vz is 5.1v, or is there more to that?🫠

So 3 out of the 4 banana plugs had a loose tip. I tightened them all and added some deoxit. We'll see how it goes.

Receiver popped and entered protector mode while turning on. Turned it on again shortly after and everything seemed fine. It's either on its way out or the CRT that just happened to be degaussing next to one of the surround speakers triggered the internal protection🀑

Mine came with that. You need to find the bag of accessories that came with it🫠

More fiddling with the card.

With the 12cm helper fan, it idles at 42Β°C and maxed out at 54Β°C with the fur cube.

If I remove the fan, idle temp slowly creeps up to 54Β°CπŸ‘€ I wouldn’t even wanna stress the card now since it’s definitely gonna cross 60Β°C and start deforming PLA🫠

The stock cooler runs the card at over 70Β°C and called it fine. I think that’s just laziness and failed design🀑

Microsoft should remaster Windows XP and Office 2000 with their AI behind Clippy in a more subtle way. It might actually work better🀑

I noticed something wrong with both of my running CRTs - they started having foggy deposits on the screen every day. Turns out that was calcium deposit my ultrasonic humidifiers produced from tap water, and I've been polluting the air inside my house these few daysπŸ‘€

Yikes!🀑

I even dumped the BIOS and it was verified. Not sure how or why the fan is not working in it's intended behavior. Could be the NMOS or the chip itself, which is unobtainable at this point.

This card also runs super hot with only the two fans on there. But it seems a little bit of external help can drop its temperature by a lotπŸ€”

This card is weird. Might even be broken on the fan control.

This card uses a F7573S for fan control. However mine doesn’t turn the fan on. The output pin only has around 1.6V, no matter what % I set it to in ATITool.

I had to bridge the fan to 12V to force it to spin🫠
