Started learning P5.js a couple of weeks ago, and after learning many new concepts, I've implemented them together in one website. (Shaders, reflection, particles, optimizations, ...etc)

It's been a while since an VN took me on such an emotional roller-coaster of a journey!
I loved everything about this game. From the art, the music, and most of all, its beautiful/romantic/tragical story.
It starts off with you as a soul haunting an armor in a deserted mansion and you not remembering anything at all (aside from the fact that you are dead), and you piece back together your memories from your life and the memories of those around you whom you may not have understood.
I don't want to spoil anything, but trust me, the game would punch you really heavy in the guts one moment, then make you smile warmly in the next. (Though it's more the former than the latter mostly 😅)
In terms of playtime, it took me around 10 hours to reach a couple of endings then the true ending. And I'm personally glad they made it this long cause it manages to maintain a great pace without it becoming boring.
So an easy 9/10 for me and a tale that will stay in my head for a while.

I have had this laptop for more than 3 years now. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the temperature of the GPU was reaching >86c. So I took it for a shop to replace the thermal paste & clean it up from dust.
After cleaning it up & replacing the paste, the temperature dropped a bit on the 100% load, so it now reaches around 83C. But I still feel like that's a lot.
I checked online and saw people with similar laptops with the same GPU temperature not exceeding 80c.
It's worth noting that I'm living in a hot place where recently the temperature is around ~34 & humidity 60%.
I know that the ambient temperature can have an effect, but to what extent?
So my question is: should I worry and do anything or is these temps normal?
If someone has a similar laptop please tell me if you see something similar or not.
(I already ordered a cooling base btw to help a little bit, but I thought that if there's a problem that needs proper fixing, I should fix it first)
Thanks for any help!
I played and finished Outer wilds several years back, then last week I felt that I forgot enough to play it and finish it again.
But man, the sense of dread this game gives me is unlike anything else.
I played a lot of horror games (RE, Amnesia, Outlast, ...etc), but the horror of this game is of a different kind...
It's not a "There's something scary out there trying to hurt you" type of horror. But more like "remember how small & insignificant you are on the scale of things" type.

Like each time the supernova music starts to play, I just fly out and look directly at the sun watching it compress and explode while feeling helpless.
If you are on Giant's deep surface and the supernova happens, the sky full of cloud will suddenly darken save for the few thunders lighting the clouds, a blue flash, then gradually lights up while it rains blue particles. (It gives me goosebumps every time!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OT0GvAvZ7Y
The first time you fall into the black hole and gets transformed to the far end of the solar system without your ship (& before learning that you could go back using the white station), you are hit with the realization that you are going to die by suffocation and you can do nothing about it, not even make your death quicker.
When you go inside the Interloper & realize what this seemingly small rock contains.
& finally, the whole Eye of the universe location. After all the build up to it, when you finally reach it, I just can't help but feel like "This is a place no living being should be on"

Maybe these kinds of things are feeling particularly scary for me because I'm a religious person & we believe that on the judgement day things like the sky splitting open, stars losing their light, mountains collapsing to dust, and oceans boiling empty are things that will happen. And what I see in this game is quite similar & reminds me that you will see such things when that times come. So it feels more real and relevant than the type of horror that I know is just fictional. idk.
I'm interested to know if there are others who felt similarly.
