THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 1)

Iโ€™m doing okay. Working on my forum game, been coding something to help me with the round that seems to only want to do low rolls, which for obvious reasons is bad for a Civ game (or any kind of forum game) lol

The way I often feel is illegal on the forums. On a more positive note, a few days ago I started learning Arabic, Czech and Russian.

Thatโ€™s undisputable fact

this is correct because they use the strongest angle repeated three times and any force applied to one part is distributed along every part connected to it

Does anyone know what the Klume/Galgrost is from the Thrive Universe? There is a page for it on one of the wikis Iโ€™ve found but the page is completely blank

Iโ€™m just curious was reading around a little bit and found that page

I believe it was made by Roboromb

The TU is sadly very dead. There hasnโ€™t been any activity in at least 3 years

Yeah, I was just reading through what was left and couldnโ€™t find anything on this one despite there being a page for it

Oh well, itโ€™s fine. I was attempting to reference/pay respects to some older creations by including the sapient races from the TU in my forum game, but if I canโ€™t find anything on this one itโ€™s whatever

Why are newer GPUs getting bigger every generation? I wonโ€™t even be able to keep my small case. Have they forgotten about people who own mini-itx builds?

Question: Can waterblocks reduce the size of my GPU?

Chip manufacturing technologies arenโ€™t improving as fast as anymore, so instead of relying on newer process nodes to have much better performing products, they need to know crank up the power consumption to try to get those generation leaps people are used to. Watching LTT all the small cases they use seem to now be geared towards fitting just barely the latest GPUs, so you could upgrade your case even if you donโ€™t want a bigger form factor.

Yes. From what Iโ€™ve seen all waterblocks make GPUs just take up one slot of thickness, though they obviously canโ€™t help if the graphics cardโ€™s PCB is too long, but the length of the cards hasnโ€™t gone up. In fact I remember when AMD had much longer GPUs than they do currently (at least I think thatโ€™s the case).

Iโ€™ve been thinking about making a portable case, but Iโ€™m worried about the size. Waterblocks could definitely help with the space, yet Iโ€™m still worried about leaks and also the outside temperature. What if Iโ€™m using the computer in a near 0 degrees Celsius environment? Given that the water that is used for cooling doesnโ€™t have any solute to lower the freezing point, Iโ€™m afraid the water could freeze and clog up the tubes.

Perhaps I could cover the case with an insulator so that it keeps it warm enough for the water not to freeze?


Random question that doesnโ€™t have anything to do with the above: is it possible to delete posts in a closed thread?

AFAIK closed and archived topics are different, so closed topics arenโ€™t read only and can probably still be modified (by posts being deleted or liked).

Considering how hhyyrylainen helped the development of Thrive, I think itโ€™s time for us to establish a cult in honor of himโ€ฆ
