Update Sep 21:
All winners have claimed the games! Congrats again to all the winners, and thanks everyone for participating!
If you didn't win, look out for another giveaway I'll host in the future. Most likely in Winter 2024. I'll try to get us other games besides Action/RPGs lol. :D
Note:
The games donated by an anonymous Lemmy user are still available.
I will make a separate post in [!GiftOfGaming@Lemmy.World](/c/GiftOfGaming@Lemmy.World). I will do this next week so I can rest and recover from my cold.
Update Sep 20 - Part 2:
Only one last key remaining, pending a response from the winner:
- Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy - 1 key remaining - Winner: Pending
Note: The remaining keys from the anonymous person that donated to me will be given away as a separate post in [!giftofgaming@lemmy.world](/c/giftofgaming@lemmy.world)
Update Sep 20:
Sorry folks, I got back from a work trip and am also getting over a cold. This is the first day that I feel well enough to use my computer, so I'll continue with redraws. So far, most of the keys have been claimed but others have not gotten back to me within the 48 hours.
New winners have been selected for the final three games:
- Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle (Pixel Remasters) - 1 key remaining
- Hogwarts Legacy: Deluxe Edition - 1 key remaining

Note that the remaining keys from the anonymous person that donated to me will be given away as a separate post in [!giftofgaming@lemmy.world](/c/giftofgaming@lemmy.world)

I don't really know where to start. It's not hurting me, but I'm confused. I don't recall doing anything different o not sure where to start looking for issues.
It boots up, shows me my drives and says "settings were reset to default values" If I go into bios, nothing looks off to me. Windows doesn't show an issue.
I'm running Win10. I can give you all the info you want. Just need a hint as to where to start looking. Thanks

- Hardware: Intel Core i3-6100U, 8 GiB RAM, Intel HD 520
- Software: Fedora Linux 40, Proton 8, Mesa 24.1.6
- Game Settings: DX12, frame gen off, FSR, everything on low/off, 720p windowed with %100 resolution.
Game did not start before renaming folder Engine/Plugins/Runtime/Nvidia. I was stuck at a black screen. I obviously did not expect good performance, I just wanted to see if I could run the benchmark.

I got a Turris Omnia Router, which I want to use as a NAS.
I also really like SATA SSDs, they are abundant (I have too many), never overheat (take that, NVME crap) etc.
The router is pretty tight, a SATA SSD fits in, but I need a cable to have the adapter 90° and a bit upwards.
Now I wonder, what adapter do I need? On AliExpress I find one with 1 or 2 SATA connections, 1 is probably best for sanity and reliability.
This one looks more sketchy, as it has 2 SATA sockets.
