I have a Legion Pro 7, core i9 32GB ram with an RTX 4090 w/ 16GB RAM.

I've been running BG3, MK1 and Cyberpunk no issues since I got it. But it got real humid recently and BG3 went from performant to sluggish. I noticed the machine sits at 77 C with nothing else running and goes to 90 C when playing.

I've blown it out with air, but I haven't opened the back to blow it out. I see references to thermal paste as well.

The question is, how much of that is "yes, that's your next step" and how much is I should reinstall Windows 11?

FWIW: I keep it on a cooling pad, elevated to around 25 degrees and have done so since I purchased it. I do use a USB-C dock to attach it to an external monitor. Never been a problem before...

Does anyone know which iteration of Ministry they intend to have at this show?

The options I consider a possibility:

• That Post Barker sound / focused on those albums
• Filth Pig full album play (I think this was a one off)
• Squirrelly Years (Would be fun for a while, but not what I want from Ministry)
• Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste full album play (I got COVID and missed this)
• Proposed reunion with Barker (The dream.)
• The actual Farewell show

I'm hoping the last bullet isn't true. This is a shared bill. Ministry ending their career without being able to sole headline a bill would be sad; I'd hate to miss Ministry if this was their last show in their "home town". But I don't want to spend a bunch of money for a show that is a let down.

Yes, the VIC has an ADA section, it's good that they put the thought into supporting those with special needs. But this is your view:

If you look real close in the right corner you can see the lighting for the show.

If you can stand, which thankfully those in my party were able to stand a bit off to the side, so the view was okay when standing. But for the folks in wheelchairs in the same section, or couldn't stand, this was their view the entire night. Even if this dude wasn't there, it wouldn't have helped, because you are essentially sitting down; BEHIND the GA area. You get no view.

Further, they had to deal with people seeing a good place to get a better view continuing to try to sit in the area. (I was an asshole and pointed them at the sign that said it was reserved, and they politely left.). Those of you who are short know what it's like when a tall person stands right in front of you. Imagine that, plus you have nowhere else to go.

Is the Vic's solution to ADA: "I'm sorry you can't stand in the GA area but we are happy to provide you with the equivalent experience of seeing the show from the lobby.
