    Alright. So I’m going to give this a shot tomorrow when I get home, after reading it a couple more times and mentally preparing.

    Thing is with this computer is that I’ve had it since before Covid. I was already looking at parts anyway. It’s a hoopty.

      Cool! reply/PM or whatever if you have questions, possibly multiple times since Lemmy sometimes misses notifications, heh.

      And I don’t mean to shoot down the possibility of new parts! This is just a good workaround for overheating, far beyond what FPS limiting will net you. And it’s honestly a good thing to do on any hardware you may have, as it saves power and extends its life.

        Yeah for sure. This is a new thing for me to learn. If it can extend the life of this computer I can use it for work/experiment with alternative operating systems xD. And be able to use it again for gaming? Win/win.

        *I do feel like I play BG3 wrong and that’s why I can’t finish it. I’ve never formed a single relationship with any of the party members XD

          Yeah, relationships were weird on my one run. I think I accidentally turned Will down after accidentally pursuing him, and never got the door to any of the others?
