My PC has a liquid cooler in it with two ARGB fans, and an ARGB infinity mirror on top of the water block. I wouldn't have paid extra for the LEDs, but once I had them, I wanted them to do something. So I connected them to my ASRock motherboard, and played around with that functionality for a little while, but it turned out to have a serious deficit.

nVidia corp has emerged as the de facto standard for both 3d graphics and GPGPU (today, mostly "AI") for a variety of reasons including performance and ease of development. But they are irritating in multiple ways, and I've just discovered another one that probably everyone knew about but me.

Because I have a lot of these, I didn't want to lump them in with my main blog on this game. But because there are a lot of them, I thought that it was worth posting my list.

Things that are still bad and/or stupid about No Man's Sky
Some of this could be fixed relatively easily, some not so much (technical or balancing issues)
I am removing things from this list if I discover they are false or outdated, help me out.
There be spoilers here.

Long long ago, in a more innocent time, an upcoming title called No Man's Sky was announced at the VGX awards. They promised the sun, moon, and stars, and ultimately at launch delivered only a small percentage of what they had assured fans would be in the game. Many users sought refunds in response, and the game's review scores suffered, resulting in languid sales given the hype surrounding the game pre-release.

I wrote previously about my PC which has changed one piece at a time over the years, but now I'm going to write about it again because it changed a bunch. I refer to it The Potato of Theseus for reasons discussed in the prior article which are fairly obvious if you're familiar with the concept.

At this point, everything but some of the storage devices is a relatively recent purchase, and the main storage is all brand new.
