I was not interested in the game or previous ones, but the amount of "what's wrong with ME:A" and "what they need to fix in ME:A" topics on gaming news sites worried me. Oh EA, you were on the right path. Now you belong back in the "Pit of the Soulless" with Ubisoft.Kind of sad why I'm working on Minecraft though... a Mass Effect Andromeda LAN was planned this weekend, but after checking some first impressions on the game prior we decided too pass on the game for the time being...You fell lower than UBISOFT, EA! LOWER THAN UBISOFT!
Wasted most of my Sunday trying to figure out why I keep getting "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered." errors when playing games or using most GPU benchmarks. No issue when I'm using AIDA64's GPU stress testing, but basically when it's rendering something GPU-heavy on-screen, it's going to crash.
I've eliminated most logical causes:
- temperature (core and VRMs)
- clock speed (lowered clock, raised power limit)
- GPU driver (17.1, 17.2, 17.3 all have it, using DDU)
- DX11 and OpenGL both affected, fullscreen or windowed too
- close all AMD processes in the background
- Windows power options (PCIe Power Management = Off)
- reset BIOS defaults and used default safe settings
The two things I haven't been able to make certain is the SX800-LTI power supply and the PCIe Extender that came standard with the TT Core G3. Neither I'd be happy with but the latter won't be a problem for long I hope. I guess it's time to uncage the build and let it sit naked on the table, hoping it's the extender.

Will be interesting to see what the outcome of this is. My bet is on the PCIe riser.
It is Monday so I'm on week two of my computer science fundamentals cram and practice sessions. I've long graduated from college and already have professional programming experience, but places I've worked at have made me more rusty in more base CS topics.
So I've hit up HackerRank and Leetcode for more problem solving practice. I'm doing better with HackerRank but Leetcode still kicks my butt, even the problems in the "Easy" category. Instead of looking at the answers I allow myself a day or two to rethink my approach, which helps more as looking up the answers cheats out of the experience. Kinda feels like studying for tests all over again.
Related to that, two companies I applied to last week responded today and are looking to schedule an interview. Woo!

I looked for work, visited a neighbour, did some drawing, and watched a few YouTube videos (@Josh | NFC 's answers to @zovc 's questions being one of them).
caaaaan't waaaaait to hit 3D. If only there was an adobe illustrator plugin for maya
(initial test scaling in maya. stopped this step right when I started to outline the mounting holes.)
Mainly something to put into my art file. I'm looking closely at component sizes and hole diameters and locations just in case I use it for reference next time for a case or something.
I'm modelling out the whole motherboard by the way. Also will be preparing it as a prop (after looking at the design of the ILM. The way the retention arms flex and how the frame goes in place feels like a case study for how to rig it for animation, like would one universal rig do the job, or have two rigs: one for proper insertion and other for abuse by clueless person). I'll post the LGA 2011-3 Socket and ILM if SFFnet doesn't have it in resources, but there might be some double checking needed because I'm basing it off the only available Intel PDFs on Google, and there hasn't been any leak of per-element dimension blueprints anywhere (I should really own a pair of digital calipers ._.)

Congratulations! Stay safe!
The day after I got my braces off I got in a bicycle accident and knocked four front teeth out of place...
The day after I got my braces off I got in a bicycle accident and knocked four front teeth out of place...
My parents were able to get me to a dentist within a short enough time that it was still possible for the doctor to just... shove them back in. Two of those teeth died (and needed root canals), but the other two are fine! My smile is still braces-straight more than a decade later.
Good for both of you (slight jealous sarcasm but still genuine)!
I am rocking that "too poor for braces" slightly-crooked-lateral-incisors look. At least they are both ever so off the same amount. That makes the a-symmetry symmetrical. Oh well, they are healthy. Protect those teeth, you two!
I'm happy/fortunate/privileged to have had folks that were well off enough to engineer my teeth but the idea and process is honestly pretty insane. It's a very Western thing and in most cases is totally unnecessary, just a lot of money to make people meet a strange standard of beauty. I guess there are more bizarre things folks around the world do to themselves, but even having benefitted from it it's still just such a strange thing to me.
Finally managed to get an hour to play piano again. First time since three months I think, but luckily I play relatively easy stuff and managed to get five songs done pretty decently. Keep telling myself I'll record it one day, but I'm afraid I'll hate my own voice
