I just recently got into Champions after playing VGC for a few years. I ran into a situation where I could bait out a Sucker Punch but my guy had no non attacking moves including Fake Out. I’ve used this Strat so many times, where you click fake out after the first turn -> fake out fails ->causing sucker punch to fail.
I was shocked to see it just deny me from using it all together, Made it from winning 100% to a non guaranteed win.

Is this to make it easier for brand new
players in case they mess up? I’m really curious cuz this is the first time I’ve ever seen it

so when I watch dating shows with friends we make a evidence board to get stuff straight so this is the final one while we're watching the final episode!

what the lines mean:
Blue- Interested
Yellow- somewhat interested
Green- Mutual interest (the thickness of the lines are how strong we think it is)

this is just something I wanted to show, it was a really interesting season and was a lot of fun changing the lines colours and other stuff.

for those interested here's the site to make a board

Edit: Finished the final Episode, Soohyun deserves so much better. I am happy that Hyunseo is happy. The only thing I really do feel about this for the Show is that 10 Days is not enough.

Except for: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, The Quarry, Risk of Rain 2 and Homeworld Remastered Collection. Its first come first serve (sorry if I dont reply fast)

Was driving on the Galle road and just saw a Police Jeep take a U turn directly in front of a NO U TURN sign they weren’t in a rush or anything too just casually turned around. Wondering how y’all feel about it

Found someone selling the Air on FB Marketplace and with a lil bit of negotiation got it down to almost 60$ off from the insane marked up store prices where Im from (they cost like $200). they claim it’s only got a week of use. What can I do or are there any general checks on the Fitbit Air, just to make sure, everything's good, and I'm not being scammed out here.
When I’m going to meet the guy and check the band.What should I be looking for when checking? Are there stuff they can do to essentially scam me? Since it’s a relatively new product would really appreciate the advice!

Here’s the listing description for the Seller’s vibe if ur interested:

Fitbit Air

Only used for 1 week and still in excellent condition. Comes with 1-year local warranty.

Features:
• Heart rate monitoring
• Sleep tracking
• Step & calorie tracking
• Multiple sports modes
• Up to 1 week battery life

Great value for money and one of the best budget fitness trackers available.

Selling only because I was gifted a WHOOP band shortly after purchasing this, so I no longer need it.

Please no unnecessary messages or lowball offers. If you’re genuinely interested, feel free to reach out.

As the Title says, My Grandfather passed away 5 years ago and he had a Stock Portfolio worth 7 figures which was made in like the 90s. The Dividends has also gone unclaimed since his passing. And both my Grandmother and their Children are okay with me inheriting it. Before I contact professionals I was hoping someone had an idea or could give me some advice cuz I’m young and don’t even have a portfolio In the CSE and what I should do to Claim the Dividends. Also if anyone’s got a good broker I could talk to that would be really appreciated!

Really need help figuring out this really Crashing Problem on My Laptop

Hey guys posted about this issue before
did a bunch of testing and still need help trying to track down what might actually be two separate issues on my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023), and I’ve reached the point where I need some fresh eyes on this.

**Specs:**
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023)
Ryzen 7 7735HS
RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
32GB DDR5 RAM
ADATA Legend 860 NVMe SSD
Windows 11

**Background:**
A few weeks ago my laptop was overheating, so I had it repasted with PTM7950. Around the same time, I also upgraded the SSD to an ADATA Legend 860.

Originally, I had a very consistent issue where after a fresh boot, the first time I launched a game, the laptop would eventually freeze and crash. It didn’t matter whether I launched the game immediately or waited hours after booting. Once a game was launched, it would run completely fine for a while and then eventually freeze/crash.
After doing some research, I started suspecting a GPU initialization issue. I disabled and re-enabled the RTX 4060 in Device Manager after a cold boot and that seemed to help. For a while, the original issue appeared to stop, which made me think it might have been related to how the GPU was initializing rather than temperatures.
However, now I’m seeing something new.

Recently I had another freeze while after gaming for hours. Both the laptop display and external monitor froze. Audio continued briefly, but the system became completely unresponsive. No BSOD was shown. The laptop eventually restarted itself and booted back into Windows. I then booted the game again and it insta crashed again.

This time I’m seeing lots of WHEA Logger Event ID 17 warnings, which weren’t part of the original issue.

Example WHEA:
Component: PCI Express Root Port
Vendor ID: 1022 (AMD)
Device ID: 14BA
Corrected Hardware Error
No WHEA Event ID 18 errors
What I’ve checked:
Event Viewer
Reliability Monitor
HWiNFO logs
SSD SMART data
Findings:
No BSOD
No BugCheck events

Reliability Monitor only reports “Windows was not properly shut down”
No obvious error immediately before the freeze
Lots of WHEA 17 PCIe warnings

Temperatures immediately before the freeze:
CPU: \~72-74°C
GPU Core: \~74-78°C
GPU Memory Junction: \~78-82°C
GPU Hotspot: \~82-89°C
Hotspot delta roughly 7-13°C
No thermal throttling
No PROCHOT events

Because of that, I don’t currently believe overheating is responsible.
There is one other thing that may or may not be related:
Very rarely, my SSD will suddenly spike to 99-100% usage while gaming. When this happens, the entire laptop becomes extremely laggy and unresponsive (this has happened exactly twice and after restarting it’s fine no issues).
Even more strangely, there have been a few occasions where after restarting, the laptop booted straight into BIOS and the SSD was completely missing from the boot options/device list. Restarting again usually makes it reappear and everything works normally (it’s 100% good on CrystalDiskinfo and the read and write speeds seem to be working fine.

Because the SSD was upgraded recently and the WHEA warnings are PCIe-related, I’m starting to wonder if the SSD is involved somehow.

My current theories are:
NVIDIA driver issue
AMD/NVIDIA hybrid graphics or Optimus issue
PCIe instability causing the WHEA warnings
ADATA Legend 860 SSD issue
Something disturbed during the repaste/maintenance
RTX 4060 hardware issue
At this point I’m honestly wondering if I originally had a GPU initialization problem that may have been solved, but now I’m chasing a second, completely different issue involving PCIe/WHEA warnings.

One final note: I’ve spent quite a while troubleshooting this already and have probably tried many of the common suggestions. That said, please don’t hesitate to suggest anything, even if it seems obvious. I’d rather hear something twice than miss the clue that actually solves this.

Update: Looking through the HWiNFO logs right before the freeze, I noticed something interesting. Temperatures remained normal, but there were several moments where the RTX 4060 core clock briefly dropped to around 400 MHz before returning to normal boost clocks (2200-2460 MHz), despite the GPU still being under load and VRAM remaining at full speed.

I don’t know whether this is expected behavior or a clue, but it stood out because it happened within seconds of the freeze. I’m not sure if this points toward a GPU driver issue, power state transition issue, PCIe communication problem, or if it’s completely normal and unrelated.

P.S. (yes I used AI for the post it had so much of my diagnostic data and I cbb writing this)

Need help diagnosing an issue with my Zephyrus G14 2023. I just got the laptop repasted using PTM7950 on the GPU and CPU. one thing was that they applied thermal pad on the VRM and VRAM. And I explicitly asked and they said, It's fine. It'll work. Trust me. I got the laptop, it's been great. temps have been perfect. But when I turn it on after a while from not using it and specifically when I play a game, It runs fine for a few minutes and then it'll start stuttering, play really badly, and then just crash. It black screens and it turns off. But after I turn it back on, it'll work fine and run perfectly for hours until I shut it off for a long period of time and it’ll keep doing this. Would appreciate any help. I don't think it's because of the VRM and VRAM using thermal pads because the temps seem completely fine, but it only happened after the repaste was done.

I made sure the games were using the Nvidia GPU on Windows and I turned off Windows Fast Startup on Terminal and still no fix

So, any ideas?

I just bought a used gaming laptop (Asus Zephyrus G14 2023) however CPU temps are not great and found out I need new Liquid Metal Repasted. Biggest issue is that it’s really scary to do and I don’t want to give it to someone who will destroy the laptop 😭. Anyone know any reliable or trustworthy places I could go get it done?

Im doing a huge laptop upgrade from my Dell and was wondering for those with the 16GB models,
is it enough?
I upgraded my Dell to 32gigs and downgrading to 16 got me worried i wont have a good experience. Have yall ever felt limited by it? Cursing that its soldered and theres nothing u c an do about it but by another laptop. I just really wanna know with how expensive it is for a RAM upgrade is it really Thaaat worthwhile? Or can I just get by and not have to worry about this issue ever again
