You mean there are actually people who don't want to be considered "elite"?

Their next game will be Children Go. You can find augmented children in and around your house who, contrary to your own, like to spend time with you

In that case, should they not call it Children Stay?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I can't wait for Pacman Go.
Watching people walking along, staring at their phones and konking themselves on huge, white balls will be so much fun!

Whenever I run Minecraft, my ASUS ROG Laptop suddenly decides that the power cable isn't plugged in, even though it is. Closing MC causes it to 'reconnect'.
For a time. There are other random disconnects, and a tap to the bottom under the cable plug usually fixes it, except for when MC is running.
I'm wondering if this is a hardware issue or a software/firmware issue.
I'll probably go to Best Buy and talk to someone there about it.
Still, it's weird that MC would cause it to fail to reconnect.
OS is WinX. I don't think that's the issue.

Does it also happen with other games? The graphics processor can draw a lot of power, just like the CPU. It could be that both together draw too much power and the power supply is too weak. Then the voltage would drop and it would react as if the cable had been disconnected. Try running some other more demanding game to find out.

Very likely!
It may also be that the PSU is on it's way to Silicon Heaven and starts to shut down when the current gets too much - my desktop PSU started to do that recently and had to be replaced.

Great! That's one of the first questions I would expect from a real AI. So, you made me. Then who made you? My answer would probably be evolution in both cases, but that would probably be a problem for really religious people.

Oh no. One of them once condemned me to hell for playing around with something that does not exist (evolutionary algorithms) and for trying to play god.

Holland isn't that bad. Neither are the Netherlands
It's just that I live in the bible belt. We have a few very religious villages.
The island I live on has been in the national news recently because a local free door-to-door newspaper printed a story about a gay couple after which the newspaper received death threats and apologized for the article. That may not sound like a big deal to lots of people, but the Netherlands as a whole is pretty tolerant towards gay people. After the newspaper apologized the rest of the Netherlands attacked the newspaper because, according to them, they gave in to religious bigotry. Ironically, the interviewed couple lived on the island and said in the article that they never really had problems with religious people

Look where I come from.[^] If the stork had dropped me only a little further westwards, I would be wearing wooden shoes, grow tulips and not be able to drive a car without towing a caravan.

I'll have to test that.
I don't have any other graphics-heavy games, so that might not be too easy to test.

I just tested the Power Brick, and it outputs 19.65V, which is what it's supposed to output (the brick label says 19.5, so not much difference). I did notice that it will drop down to 18.2V, then go back up a second later, which may be part of the issue.
If not, then the power circuit in my laptop is either loose or failing.
Hopefully just loose, as I can likely get it reconnected myself (if I could figure out how to open the dang case).

Trouble is that if you tested it without it being connected to the lappie there isn't any load - and it's load that may force the voltage too low in the PSU is dying. If it drops off without load, there's a real problem!

Yeah, you're right. I'll have to get a new PSU for it. None of the generic ones I have looked at work with this system (not powerful enough, and usually don't have the right connector), so I'll have to get one from Asus.
EDIT: found what I need[^]
Now to get the money to buy the thing.

Try Skyrim. It should not be too expensive anymore and you get to play a legendary hero
