I have learned so much but everything is so disfunctional because “I’ll get to it later” means never

The ArchWiki is amazing, probably don’t start by installing nothing but a window manager and adding things you need as you go

A couple of questions.

What CPU do you have?

Have you taken the cooler off yet? It sounds like you haven’t, and that’s a pretty important first step. I recommend running the computer for a little bit to get the cpu up to temperature to soften the thermal paste before trying to remove it. Most CPU coolers are either screwed or latched in place.

Once the cooler is off what exactly you’re looking at will vary slightly between which CPU socket you have. Most have a little round rod/lever that runs along the side of the socket that will need to be lifted before the cpu can be removed. It should come out easily

I knew what this was before I clicked

Yeah, I can totally see how matchmaking for 10 tiers would implode. It really requires a ton of new players or each tier to be unique enough to go back to

Ahh you may have played earlier than I did. Most of my playtime was around rise of the walkers. I think I started playing a couple months before the nano machine heal gun things.

I liked being able to pull higher tier stuff into lower tier games, and even grinding up the ladder before I was T10 it was pretty rare for it to feel super unfair.

I started to fall off the game around when they reworked the chassis blocks to all be one tier. There was so much depth in balancing durability with trying to stay in the right tier. And having to actually protect your pilot seat.

Losing the specialization with the weapons and letting you out all of them in the same vehicle further removed any kind of tradeoffs and then the loot boxes completely ruined the progression system.

I wish they’d release server code, it would be sick to be able to run small community games

Robocaft was my most played game on steam for many many years. It’s sad to see it shutting down, but it hasn’t been the game I fell in love with for so long it doesn’t feel like i’m missing much. The armor changes and the physics changes and then the regen and the pivot to loot boxes took so much from a great game

Where are you if you don’t mind me asking? I feel like I’m not running into this on the US west coast

Thank you! Found it for others interested

I haven’t been keeping up with the wan shows. Which week was this?
