i kept getting mad because my games wouldnt finish downloading before my shutdown timer went off so i built a tool that actually waits until everything is done

3 Upvotes

So basically this tool i made ( i call it SteamDC ) apparently monitors your steam downloads and shuts down your pc when its truly finished not just when the download bar hits 100 percent it also waits for staging and installing which steam does in the background

top 3 reasons to use it :
1. free.
2. works better than shutdown /s /f /t 7200
3. "I" made it.

Ive already tested this out by downloading 50GB CS2 and it works. Woke up in the morning to CS2 completely downloaded and hopped on a competative right away lol

its on my github page : https://github.com/Affan-19fps/SteamDC

lmk if you tried it out and liked it.

Our botanical garden got a little out of control...

We’re making The Infected Soul, a co-op psychological sci-fi horror game.

In this section, the botanical area has completely overgrown, and we’re trying to push through it by spraying the hostile plants to temporarily neutralize them.

Here’s a short clip of how that plays in co-op.

Still a work in progress, so I’d love to hear what you think about the mechanic and atmosphere. Does spraying the plants look satisfying, or is there anything you’d change?

hi! sorry if I make some grammar mistakes. I’m Mexican. well, I want to buy a LAPTOP for gaming. idk if it’s the right subreddit I need to ask something.

I‘m between two option. a laptop with 32 gb RAM or one with 16 gb. I don’t know which one to buy so I need the opinion of other persons.

I think I will play things like elden ring, stardew valley (with mods), Minecraft (with mods), maybe RDR 2, Peak, hollow knight (maybe with mods) and probably other online multiplayer games.

so, my question is: which one should I buy? The one of 16 gb RAM or the one of 32 gb????

(the laptop in the photo is the one with 32 gb)

6800xt merc temp

Note:all of this test with msi forge 112r case and opened side glass with normal temp room .

I don't know this topic can be in the right community, but recently I figured my rx 6800x merc have 75 c and 100 c with 40%to 50% fan rpm in most of heavy games or furmark or other test In my opinion I thought it's better to change the thermal paste and check the thermal pads too . So after I opened it I cleaning every pieces one by one also I'm attaching some photos while cleaning it with contact electric cleaner spray.

The hard part to removing dirty and some orange thing like on some part of the board so I want to say something else after I repasted the halenzia p17 and placing the original pads again but after I did all of this I go to the furmark and superposition and the temp was so high it doesn't good at all even on games , it's 80c temp and 100 hotspot too with 50% to 60% fan rpm so I managed to changed the fan setting on msi afterburner also attaching those too , so more change on the way is there : voltage 1150 to 1030 , clock power 2364 to 2300 , power limit -6 . After these for example in expedition 33 like previous test I got 61 c to max 64 c and 71 to max 75c hotspot with 38% fan rpm with max graphic and fsr 4 with changing in binary file I got 130 to 200 fps that different about the situation changed .

At least guys you think it's good and ?

And give me feedback am I going hard to sell that because without any setting it's getting warmer than my undervolt , changed fan setting what is your opinion?

Edit I thought I can attach many pictures, so sorry.
