Baby's first bike

Baby's first bike

I've only ever ridden my old man's moped and a couple of friend's bikes until this point, but have always had a blast doing so. After a lot of research and deliberation, I nabbed myself a 2025 Shadow Phantom :)

Runs and rides great, and I, as an apartment-dweller, am VERY excited about having the reduced maintenance load that comes with shaft drive and fuel injection. Any tips/tricks I should know about these bikes in particular?

Open question to my fellow T-Porners, WHAT in the blue blazes is this thing? Literally gave me sandcrawler vibes.

Does swiftplay have bots?

Title pretty much asks the question itself, but I have to reach 100 characters, so ill expand.

Does swiftplay have bots? I've never played this game until ~48 hours ago, and every swiftplay game I've played since I quit beating up on the bots has been a slaughter, except for one.

To me it just seems odd that someone who's never even played a MOBA before a couple days ago could come in and be putting up 60k-ish damage against real players, even if they're new to the game too.

Is my character just super low difficulty? I've been running Mordekaiser because I saw MoistCritikal playing him and the kit looked cool.

Was playing a game earlier today and noticed a constant mobo code - 76. There were no error LEDs on, just the code, and the PC was seemingly running fine. I take to Google and see what the consensus is, and the most generalized solution is "reseat some stuff".

"No big, I've taken apart and put this thing back together plenty of times" I thought confidently to myself.

But it was about to become a big...

So I remove the gpu and ram first, since they're the easiest to take care of, then I move onto the cpu. I get the cooler removed and the cpu pulled with no issue, and start cleaning off the old paste from the cooler and cpu, getting everything ready for a repaste.

I still dont know when it happened, but at some point when I wasnt looking, my still-plugged-in 12V HPWR Medusa cable thing managed to curl upward, and land the plug directly into the cpu socket, bending some pins. My heart literally sunk to the floor.

Thankfully, I've read many a horror story about bent pins (never had to deal with any, until now) and have seen stories of people using small needles to bend them back very, VERY gently. I dug around for something small and pointy, found a clothespin, bent it backwards, and went to work.

I was genuinely holding my breath as I bent stuff back, but thankfully the way the pins are laid creates sort of an optical illusion, so you can easily see which pins are out of order. Most nerveracking 30 minutes of my life, but we're back.
