Loved that game as a kid! Its called “Die Völker” in germany, meaning “The People”.

At the beginning of January, I bought the ThermalGrizzly Wireview Pro II to safeguard my worries for my 5090 PC rig. It got delivered to me last Saturday and has been working very well so far for me. This device monitors the per pin current of your power connector, comes with temperature sensors and even has a cable that can be hooked to your PC power switch so the device will automatically safeguard and shutdown your PC if it detects current instability for a certain amount of time. Very customisable.
It’s a real shame that NVIDIA are continuing to choose to not yet introduce active amperage load balancing for the wires, introducing safer dual power connectors liked with their 30-series cards and instead we have had a number of increasing cases with the 40 and 50 series GPUs especially at the high end where cables melt and in some cases, become melted to the port so the GPU could potentially get ruined! Some 5080s and some 9070XTs are reported to have been affected too.
@scat1620 I know you have a 5090 rig so I was curious if you were considering to buy this device/what are your thoughts on the 12VHPWR connector debacle? Some have said it’s overstated and statistically it most likely is, but that’s based on guesstimations of how many 4090/5090’s have been sold without any melting issue. The sort of information that we’d never publicly get.
For the fellow tech enthusiasts on here who keep up to date with PC hardware news, it’s one of the most bleakest times I’ve seen for a long time, if ever!

Didn’t build my PC, I’m afraid, it was built by an SI so if I run into problems with it I’m going back to them.

I know the UPS is bigger, but I think it’s much more effective. The good one course.
Either way, congratulations with the newcomer

Got the GoodSmile Nendoroid of Solid Snake! Just a little over the equivalent of 100 USD, at 2000 MXN pesos. Not really into the Chibi style but the low polygons face accesory convinced me of the purchase.

Gotta respect that they included the Famas! 
A SOCOM would’ve been the classic, but it might have licensing issues
