PC How to deal with stripped screws on a laptop heat sink
Slug replied to brandino's topic in The Spawn Point
Do you have a Dremel tool or something similar? You can always just carefully cut a horizontal line across the top of the screw then use a flat-head screwdriver to take it out. -

Slug replied to brandino's topic in The Spawn Point
If the head is stripped you can lay a rubber band over the head then press the screwdriver "through" the rubber band into the screw. The rubber band should conform to the stripped inside of the screw-head and give you enough tension/friction to let you unscrew, or at least loosen it. -

I've always used a rubber band or like a folded bit of paper towel for that sort of thing and its always worked. Yours must really be in there. -

I'm interested in Nintendo's Direct and...that's about it? Video game media coverage is so readily available now that I don't really feel the excitement that E3 used to bring anymore because, well..we get new information like every day. Things are announced constantly. I don't need impressions or game-play vids to help me make buying decisions. Even new console/hardware announcements don't get me jazzed anymore. It's not like they could say something that's gonna make me not buy the next PSBoxSwitch or whatever. There's no "console war" anymore; at least not like it was. The state of video game media means we have 24/7 coverage of the industry. Remove "..at E3" from any announcement, impression, game-play, or interview article over the next month and what's the difference? I mean, I'll read some articles that come out of the show. And I'm sure there will be some stuff announced that I'll be interested in. But I just don't feel the need to see it as it's happening anymore. It's no longer "appointment Internet" for me.

What’s the fastest you can shower while washing everything
Slug replied to johnny's topic in The Shower
I'm with you. 5 min or less. No hair to speak of. Get in, body wash head-to-toe, rinse off, get out. -
>> 51% of Americans reported using a swimming pool as a communal bathtub — using the pool as an alternative to showering or rinsing off after engaging in exercise or yard work. Nope. >> The survey also revealed that 24% of Americans would go in a pool within one hour of having diarrhea.. Man, I won't even leave my house within one hour of having diarrhea. Hard no on going swimming. >> 40% of Americans admitted they have peed in the pool as an adult. Nope. >> ..48% reported that they never shower before swimming Yeah I'm in this group. When I go swimming I just grab my trunks and go. I always shower first thing afterwards.

So, medically speaking, how early can (not should) birth be induced? Rather than have an "abortion" is there a way a doctor can have a woman give birth pre-viability? "They didn't have an abortion, they just gave birth 7 months premature". They didn't kill it; it just didn't survive. Probably silly. I'm just spit-balling for loopholes...

Yeah, I opted not to do all-in or any of the optional buys (even though I really wanted Castle Cainhurst). I figure with the base game, the chalice dungeons, Mergo's, and all the stretch extras I'll have plenty of mileage out of my $90. And if my group really really enjoys it I can pick up the expansions at retail down the road.

5 hours remaining. Up to 117 minis in the base pledge with the game. Works out to something like $0.90 per mini. For the minis alone that's really, really good. It's gonna be a long year waiting for this. Hopefully they have it to demo at GenCon or PAXU.

One day left to get in on this and get all the KS exclusives. Right now here's what that looks like, The base game: All stretch goals: It's an absolutely ridiculous value for $100. The base game could retail for that, minus the KS exclusive stuff. 30 hours left.

Yeah. I had decided that I was going to temper my fanboy impulses and not do any optional buys at all. I mean, with all the stretch goals, for that many minis, the base game is already an insane value at $100. But damn if the Cainhurst expansion isn't testing my resolve....having the Martyr Logarious boss alone is gonna make me get it.

Funding is just north of $3M now, with 4 days to go. I'm trying to resist upping my pledge to buy the Castle Cainhurst expansion.

My only gripe with the game is that you can't switch/select between unlocked skins at character select, like you could in every previous MK game. I don't like having to make a "kustomized" fighter just to use a different skin. Other than that I'm having a blast.

I'm not doing any of the optional buy. I'm happy with the base game as is. That said, I'm happy they're doing the optional buys because it means the campaign keeps making more money which gets me more stretch goals.

Man, the stretch goals on this thing are legit. Tons of new monsters and hunters, a whole new campaign, currently working on PVP mode. And the minis look absolutely sick. I don't back many things on KS, but this has turned into my most anticipated game of 2020 already. Damn. I hope they have a prototype at GenCon.

Sorry, I wasn't following this thread last night like I should've been. Yes. :P Seriously, after he got picked we all immediately started joking that he was gonna tear an ACL on the way to the stage. Big relief when we saw he wasn't in attendance. :P

General Gaming Persona 5 has sold over 2.7m units worldwide
Slug replied to Pikachu's topic in The Spawn Point
Great game. My only complaint was the kind of weird narrative deescalation. But that's a minor quibble. I loved this game.
