[dull garnet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/5208

[modest moss]

[dull garnet]

[dull garnet]

what do you need money for?

i have about a mil and besides buying a bunch of cars there doesn't seem to be a money sink

[modest moss]

just use a trainer, I'm not grinding money in this

[dull garnet]

i only installed a few mods

one lets you change your character's appearance fully

another thing i don't like is

[odd sand]

Moist is obviously the best word in the English language

[bitter girder]

idk why people get bothered by it

minge is the one that gets me

[modest moss]

[kindred brook]

I didn't break it

[bitter girder]

[modest moss]

tesco tech

[kindred brook]

Dad my bracket fell

And I got. Scared

X. X

Shoukd I wipe the paste

Off my aio

And use new thermal paste

[sly walrus]

[modest moss]

[kindred brook]

Iso?

[modest moss]

isopropyl alcohol

[kindred brook]

I have arctic silver

It's a couple of months old

Kk

Do I need more space for games lol

That one with the beatsink is 2 tb

The 512 is from my old rig

[odd sand]

I've got a 512gb pcie3, then a 1tb slower m2 and my old 128gb ocz vertex3 is still kicking

Figure I'm fine for now and if/when I do the 15th gen build I can get a pcie5 then. Maybe some games will support DirectStorage by then

[kindred brook]

I need bigger mechanical. Drives

[bitter girder]

how much sfm porn you planning on making?

[kindred brook]

None

Lol

But I have movies

And anime

[odd sand]

I assume thats a 500gb hdd?

8tb or so is the sweet spot atm imho

[jaunty light]

go big or go home

[jaunty light]

2expensiv

[odd sand]

That's the first capacity that's helium filled, which makes them very quiet as well

If you want a trash quality, you can pick up the Greens for like 140-150

[jaunty light]

red plus goes for less than that

[odd sand]

But I don't like gambling with 8tb of data

[jaunty light]

i got my 8tb r+ for 125

[void dove]

well yea, red < enterprise

[jaunty light]

re: green

if you're using raw 8tb disks that's your own problem anyways

[kindred brook]

My Toshiba is 5 tb

[odd sand]

red plus is a NAS drive and 5600rpm only

[kindred brook]

My wd is 3 tb

[bitter girder]

wish i had a computer

no i dont

im cursed with technology

[modest moss]

you don't have a pc?

[bitter girder]

sold it because a game i wanted to play had an issue with logitech keyboards and mice

i was fucking done

[void dove]

wait, can you even get WD greens anymore???
HDDs that is, i thought they dont exist anymore,
there are WD green SSDs thou

[modest moss]

what game?

[bitter girder]

black flag

just wanted to sail a boat

[modest moss]

so you sold your pc

genius

[bitter girder]

yeah

[odd sand]

You sold the PC bc a peripheral maker was shit?

And bc EA made a shit port?

[modest moss]

why didn't you just buy a cheap mouse/kb for that one game, or use a controller?

[bitter girder]

nah im joking it was one of the reasons though

[modest moss]

the fuck lewis

[bitter girder]

i just couldnt be arsed

i wanted to give console a go

[modest moss]

honestly on brand though

[odd sand]

Imagine giving up doing whatever with pc for only being able to play games and having to take it up the butt paying full price bc you dont have steam sales

[bitter girder]

i just found myself troubleshooting issues more than actually playing games and stuff

[jaunty light]

skill issue

[bitter girder]

and had tons of windows issues all the time

so i just called it quits for a bit

[late basalt]

Sounds like a bunch of errors located between the keyboard and chair imo

[jaunty light]

he got too much bun cream on his keyboard

[odd sand]

Not looking to rag on ppl but I kinda have to agree. Was it a laptop or something? That seems to be the only time ppl have huge issues

Bc of all the speciality hardware in laptops written with atrocious custom drivers

[bitter girder]

nah full on computer

[void dove]

much laptop, or OEM PC issues, can be solved by just reinstalling Windows from USB, with none of the sellers original BS

much less stupid shit to go wrong, then just install the drivers you need.

[bitter girder]

but yeah serious note sold my computer due to finding myself just looking for issues to moan about than actually enjoy using it

[void dove]

the amount of shit i find on "gamer" pcs that are sold, is absolute insanity

[odd sand]

I put Win7 on my system in like 2009, ran that until I built a new system in 2012, then installed 10 when security updates ended for 7 and its 3 years on from that now and had a bluescreen randomly maybe a dozen times

[void dove]

like, stuff that reduces performance, and provides no benefit

"do you use that software"

"i dont even know what it does"
"ok then remove it"
suddently more stable, go figure 😛

why my PCs have lasted 8+ years each

[odd sand]

I also dont use any of the gamer utilities or RGB utils heh

[void dove]

all i do is upgrade the graphics card and maybe add more storage

lol

same

dont care about RGB

had to install EVGA's software to turn the RGB off on my 3070 😄
then uninstalled it

[odd sand]

I like RGB but I can't be assed to run 18 things in my system tray

[bitter girder]

legit ahahahahaha

[void dove]

turned off my mobo's RGB since it faces the wall, i can't see it if i wanted to

[bitter girder]

remember when corsair cue used to fuck with literally every single game made

[void dove]

iCUe was one of the worst for performance

[odd sand]

So my RGB is whatever the defaults are plus whatever I can do with the hardware buttons for my corsair case and icue rgb hub

[void dove]

it would actively reduce game performance

[bitter girder]

corsair literally turned into razer 2.0

[void dove]

i have a basic corsair keyboard

tried icue for 5 min, it didn't provide anything i cared about so i uninstalled it

[bitter girder]

remember corsair link

the software

[void dove]

i just have the KB set to rainbow and thats it

[bitter girder]

fucking god awful

[void dove]

and can change it with keypresses, which i never do 😛

i like a lit up keyboard, and my mouse has a rgb logo on the palm, thats all the rgb i have

and the kb is so basic

it only has 3 lighting zones

[bitter girder]

ngl rgb keyboards and mice just make me think of christmas ahhahaahhaa

[jaunty light]

I think i did q6600 with vista til 4670k with 8/8.1 then 10 with 8700k

Only reinstalled os changing to amd

[odd sand]

I still use my Ducky Shine3 so it's not even RGB its blue only and yeah just has like half a dozen scripted modes besides levels of brightness

[bitter girder]

im pretty sure im supposed to be asleep

[modest moss]

yeah same

[odd sand]

Yeah sleep time here, gonna get 9hrs and see if I can sleep off this sniffles and such

[bitter girder]

how come you're always up at stupid o clock anyway

[void dove]

oh nice, not far off from myself
my first gaming PC was a q9300 on XP, i refused to run vista 😛
then upgraded to a i7-3770 on win7, then win10 eventually < this PC i made last 8+ years with GFX card upgrades and SSD upgrade

recently moved to a 5900X and 3070

[modest moss]

I have no answer

[void dove]

nightowls unite

pretty sure i got to sleep at 5am last night

and woke up at 9am

on that note, i need another coffee 🤣

[modest moss]

it started over 30 years ago when I was a teenager, I liked having the house to myself after everyone else had gone to bed

[void dove]

ooh yea, i feel that

[jaunty light]

Shue needed to polish his shue in peace huh

[void dove]

peace and quiet, no one looking over my shoulder

can play and watch wahtever i want

[bitter girder]

i suffer from being extremely loud at night

[modest moss]

and now I have a teenager and I'm still doing it

[void dove]

lol, im old enough to have a teenager myself

some habits die hard

[modest moss]

lost cause by now

[void dove]

im, not quite there yet 😛

none of my and my siblings care about having kids really

[jaunty light]

The ol 15 15 15 rule?

[void dove]

so the family line may actually die off with us here

itll continue with my cousins overseas

[bitter girder]

i read that incredibly wrong

[void dove]

but unless something changes, our family will disappear from Aus

[jaunty light]

Step bro my fitting is stuck

[bitter girder]

im 23 next year and still miss the gaps on walk paths

[sly elk]

lmao that's how i feel abot it

[jaunty light]

Damn lewis over here born in like 2007

[bitter girder]

2000

fucker

[jaunty light]

No lol they havent shipped yet

[void dove]

hey who knows, maybe something will happen, but we're all in our 30s so yea, its not looking promising,
fortunately the parents dont really care much about having grandkids.

[jaunty light]

If they get here by EKs estimate it should be wednesday of next week then I leave friday

Most people I find in my age range are about that nokid life

Hard pass 4 me

[bitter girder]

im just here and that

[jaunty light]

Thats why i went bitch babby mode

[void dove]

how do i find these, no kid ppl
dating is a nightmare trying to find someone else like that here 😦

[jaunty light]

U asian?

[void dove]

nah, Aus

[jaunty light]

Mm its mega common with white people here i feel like but could be a california thing

[void dove]

like 98% of profiles say they want kids someday

[jaunty light]

How old

[void dove]

ive given up even reading the rest of someones profile, the moment i see that, byee

im mid 30s

[jaunty light]

35 is pretty much the safe cutoff innit

[sly elk]

I.. want kids?

[jaunty light]

For women?

[sly elk]

idk

my mom had me after 35 lol

[jaunty light]

I dont mean that in the you are screwed at 36 but issues go up exponentially the older you are

[void dove]

hmm, yeah my parents were in their early-mid 30s when they had me and my siblings

last one would have been at 35 or 36 i think

[modest moss]

there are well documented increased risks for women 40+

no myth

Developing gestational diabetes is approximately four times more likely in mothers over 40
when compared to women in their twenties or early thirties (about 1 in 25 compared to 1 in
100).

twice as likely to need c-section

Losing your baby as a stillbirth once ‘overdue’ is about twice the risk of a younger mother.

risks for both

[royal forge]

I mean

Medically speaking

Theres a LOT

[modest moss]

our first pregnancy miscarried

shit sucked

we were told it's 1 in 3 are first trimester miscarriages here

no fucker warns you though

worth it in the end though

my kids are pog

and my teen would be mad if she saw me say pog

[jaunty light]

Straight bussin frfr ong

💯no cap sheesh

[modest moss]

on this cringe note I'm off

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

that happened in my family too

i'll re-evaluate my 'wants kids' stance when I'm 40 lol

I might have to do that even if I find someone because coming around to that being a not-insane idea takes time anyway

[jaunty light]

If u have a kid u can have free labor

[sly elk]

lol

[jaunty light]

Oh son its time for you to rotate my tires and change the oil and mow the grass

[sly elk]

lol

in my current job, I get free 'platinum tier' PPO health coverage for myself and any dependents

which in the US, is about as good as it gets.... but there are limitations

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/landing-cyberpunk2077-trauma-team-first-person-gameplay-gif-26400333

[sly elk]

wait times here are ridiculous as well

oh damn

what?!

[jaunty light]

I waited 2 hours today but thats cuz the office be shit

Actual emergency should be quick

Camt get your money if you die!

They are gonna try to auth a sleep study for me insurance so well see how bcbs likes that

[sly elk]

wait times for specialists here vary

so if I want to see say, a gastro doctor that has a degree from a UC and a prestigious residency and stuff

top rated on yelp and all that?

probably a 3-6 month wait and they'll process you like cattle with dozens of assistants

if you have surgery

you'll likely only have one very short visit with the surgeon before the procedure

and the entire rest of the care before/after is all assistants

otoh if you don't mind seeing someone that got their degree somewhere else on the planet and got a sketchy residency that qualified them to be a doctor

hell yea bro I got your number, and they'll see ya tomorrow too!

[jaunty light]

Come to the dark alley

We have an icy bathtub prepared

[sly elk]

lol

huh

what for do they need a sim card?

[kindred brook]

Is it better to run a gpu off of one power cable or two

[sly elk]

huh

are you asking about, if it has 2 power connectors

[kindred brook]

Like two 8 pins from one cable

[sly elk]

whether you should use a cable for each one?

even if the cables have 2 8-pin connectors on them?

[kindred brook]

Or two cables

[sly elk]

use 2 cables

i think there's a lot of GPUs where 1 cable is fine, but it's hard to know exactly what works or doesn't

and even then it's better to just run 2

[kindred brook]

Ok

[sly elk]

they put 2 connectors on there for a reason right? 😄

I really don't get why they put 2 connectors on the same cable like that

my best guess is the 12v all comes off the same rail, so it's up to what gauge wiring the cable uses

and the way the PSU wires up that distribution plate

oh

[kindred brook]

This looks like sata

Is thst thunderbolt

[void dove]

looks like an esata maybe?

not a good angle to see

[sharp star]

that’s a USB-C header

[sly elk]

i have never seen a motherboard put thunderbolt lanes on the case usb header but

that would be awesome

[sharp star]

https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/internal-ssd/990-pro/ this is an ugly SSD that I didn't know existed until now

[kindred brook]

I can't find a 4 pin power connector

Will finish it up tomorrow

X. X

Bed time

[wide hill]

a 990?? im gonna bet that is a heck of an expensive ssd

god, 400 dollars for a 2tb

[sly elk]

The 8 pin cpu connectors usually split into 2 4 pin units

[paper tusk]

4 pin is right next to eps

[tranquil gorge]

I am upgrading a pc and trying to pick a cpu, for ffxiv, the 5800x3d performs better than the 13600k right?

[paper tusk]

13600k is the current general use king (if you don't have am4 right now)

[tranquil gorge]

damn, with what ram speed tho? ddr5 30cl?

[paper tusk]

i think it's with ddr4

not very clear the test setup. ddr5 more matters in memory heavy use (video transcoding, file compression)

for ffxiv it's memory management that matters more than the ram (past 3200-3600 ddr4) which is why older ryzen is kinda awful in benchmark

even though it's plenty playable (my 3700x)

you have to really throw money away to get a ddr5 benefit with current gen cpus (talking 7000 speed territory) [in gaming]

[tranquil gorge]

oof cl 30 then?

thats really expensive

Would love to see someone benchmark it with a ddr4 3600 cl16

[hard drift]

[tranquil gorge]

or a 5600cl36 if ddr5

445€ lel

[paper tusk]

oof (gskill 6400/32 is faster/cheaper) https://www.microcenter.com/product/646756/gskill-trident-z5-rgb-32gb-(2-x-16gb)-ddr5-6400-pc5-51200-cl32-dual-channel-desktop-memory-kit-f5-6400j3239g16gx2-tz5rk-black

[real edge]

cl36 6000 32gb is like 210euro

6000 cl30 32gb is where it gets expensive at 300euro

[hard drift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUTsE1q1bYI

so the better the fps the better it works

it's also not dlss since it can work independently of dlss

[dreamy chasm]

this looks like every other ssd

[sharp star]

the heatsink is ugly

[dull garnet]

more cooling = faster

= more fps

[dreamy chasm]

It doesnt come with one default

[hard drift]

i mean the heatsink isn't that bad lmao, there's for sure worse ones by sabrent

rather have that 990 ssd heatsink

[dreamy chasm]

The lower profile one looks fine

[potent arrow]

Plus for most boards you won't be using the heatsink anyways lol

[dreamy chasm]

idk

yea

[hard drift]

😔 i only have 1 m.2 heatsink on my MB

[dreamy chasm]

i doubt you need one unless your pc is a hotbox with no ventilation in any case

[hard drift]

i don't like the color scheme

[potent arrow]

Cuz let's be real if you are using the newest fancy ssd, you ain't using a motherboard that didn't come with its own ssd heatsink

[dreamy chasm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[potent arrow]

I actually have a story about this one

[hard drift]

i make sure to get one because my old case that wasn't a hotbox somehow killed itself for the ssd lmao

[sharp star]

here's a really ugly one

[dreamy chasm]

i love rgb vomit

[potent arrow]

The high profile one came off the ssd somehow and knocked off a bunch of SMD parts on the motherboard in shipping

[dreamy chasm]

LMAO

[potent arrow]

🫠

[dreamy chasm]

pvp ssd

[potent arrow]

Now I don't use that, I use the Corsair heatsinks rofl

[dreamy chasm]

im not surprised tbh

[potent arrow]

Cyan

[dreamy chasm]

I'd get the corsair ones if I had to get an ssd sink

hm?

[potent arrow]

Please drag my ass through DSR

[dreamy chasm]

I haven't progged it yet

[sharp star]

nothing can out-ugly Noctua ones

[potent arrow]

Help.

I keep getting dead

[dreamy chasm]

I've been taking it easy on content

[hard drift]

i actually kind of like the nvme heatsink

[dreamy chasm]

[dull garnet]

imagine paying to cool an ssd lol

[dreamy chasm]

I like noctua brown, but it only really goes well as a complementary color in blackout

[potent arrow]

I'm at the point where I'm either being a terroist in PF or cackling like a madwoman in static and dabbing on bosses

[hard drift]

they get hot

[dull garnet]

yeah

so?

[potent arrow]

Your mom

Is hot

[hard drift]

🤢

[dull garnet]

thanks

[sharp star]

on the other hand I actually like the pink aesthetic but not the RGB

[hard drift]

WHAT

that's ugly 😭

[dull garnet]

that's the ugliest aio i've ever seen

[dreamy chasm]

[sharp star]

ID-Cooling Pinkflow

yes

that's the name

[potent arrow]

Ur mum

[dull garnet]

[potent arrow]

Here is an actual ugly one

[dull garnet]

kawaii

[sharp star]

just buy pink things

[dull garnet]

all aio are ugly compared to aluminium towers

[dreamy chasm]

I have a case with a closed panel

So I ended up just buying whatever was cheap and threw it in there regardless of whether it matched the build or not

Only part i dont really like is my rgb ram

i would've gotten a non led kit but it was the cheapest i could find at the moment

[dull garnet]

i didn't think about aesthetics much, parts ended up being silver, gunmetal or black though which pretty much works if boring

[sharp star]

https://www.club386.com/galax-unveils-incredible-anime-themed-geforce-rtx-40-series-partner-cards/

[dull garnet]

i'd buy a gaudy weeb video card

[potent arrow]

I don't care either because my pc is a literal blackbox

[dreamy chasm]

I'll worry about colour matching once I actually have the money to spend money on aesthetics

[dull garnet]

*money to throw away

[potent arrow]

Box.

[hard drift]

icehunter

[potent arrow]

Oo

Oi

Eh

[dreamy chasm]

i have an aliexpress case that was a pain in the ass to work with

[potent arrow]

Bidori do not beat me to the punch lol

[dreamy chasm]

but it was the only one that had the dimensions i wanted w/o an acrylic side panel

[hard drift]

Lmao

Not my fault I’m too quick

[dreamy chasm]

The x's are kinda gaudy, but it works ig

[sharp star]

I think Yeston blasts their GPUs with perfume

[hard drift]

Correct

They smell like girl

[dull garnet]

Box

[potent arrow]

Has more USB ports then my pc rofl

Box!

[dreamy chasm]

yeston cards are neat

i kinda dig the aesthetic on this one

[hard drift]

Neat but ugly

[dreamy chasm]

colours aren't overstated

[hard drift]

I hate the front part

[dreamy chasm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hard drift]

Don’t run it over my fans

[dreamy chasm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dreamy chasm]

this is just peak, though

[potent arrow]

https://formdworks.com/collections/t1-1/products/t1-sandwich-kit-black-color?variant=42636923240695

Mah BOI

[hard drift]

Peak???

[potent arrow]

(newer version atleast)

[sharp star]

lmao the Cute Pet GPU

[hard drift]

Peak what???

[dreamy chasm]

That's three times the price of my case

[potent arrow]

BOX

[dreamy chasm]

box..

[hard drift]

That case is expensive

[potent arrow]

welcome to SFF!

[hard drift]

Lol scammed

[dreamy chasm]

Low prod volume means higher prices

higher prices means people are less enticed to buy it

[potent arrow]

Not really, case doesnt get any better for SFF

[potent arrow]

pretty much this

super low production runs and they are all cnced

Honestly? worth it

[dreamy chasm]

I'd pay for it if it was within my means

[potent arrow]

sub 9L

[dreamy chasm]

but, oh well

[hard drift]

I don’t like sff like that

[potent arrow]

very easy to build in

[dreamy chasm]

okay

[potent arrow]

SFF biggest downside is cost

Everything about it is just HHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNG

[dreamy chasm]

sff tax is

[dull garnet]

sub optimal

[dreamy chasm]

i built mine so i could throw my rig into a suit case if worst comes to worst

the small desk volume is nice too

[potent arrow]

mine just fits in my backpack

[dreamy chasm]

nice

[potent arrow]

So I can go to school with it occassionally

[dreamy chasm]

i think mine could too

but i dont trust

[potent arrow]

or bring it to conventions

[dreamy chasm]

my own backpack

with it

0 padding

[potent arrow]

There's a video of me throwing it in my bag at a wall somewhere

[hard drift]

???

Of course there is sarah

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

I dont have any sane response to it

[hard drift]

I would expect nothing less from you

[potent arrow]

honestly your case isnt bad

I would just make a custom side panel for it

[dreamy chasm]

yea

[potent arrow]

Theres a reason why the formd has mesh side panel : P

[dreamy chasm]

I dig everything but the side panels

Maybe I could just get some black opaque acrylic cut for it or something

[potent arrow]

or just use metal mesh : P

[dreamy chasm]

maybe

but then i'd feel pressured to color match the mesh

[potent arrow]

its silver

your case is silver.

[dreamy chasm]

but what if the shade is slightly off

[potent arrow]

dont be racist then

make an acrylic frame with this

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

call it a day

[dreamy chasm]

mmh

ill leave it as a side project for the future

[potent arrow]

OR JUST BUY A BETTER CASE LOL

[dull garnet]

that clear acrylic + rgb fan combo made me think of those bags

[dreamy chasm]

?

ur acting like i have money

[potent arrow]

Im just saying in the future

[dreamy chasm]

economy in my country is in the shitter

[sharp star]

just buy cringy anime cases

[potent arrow]

dont make me throw your case into the river

[dreamy chasm]

I mean

I wouldn't have anything to use if you do that

[potent arrow]

use these

[dull garnet]

imagine your temps from that river

[dreamy chasm]

ill cry

[potent arrow]

let it join the other ssd

in hell where it belongs

[dreamy chasm]

im still using that one

[potent arrow]

omg

[dreamy chasm]

:x

[potent arrow]

WHYYYYYYYYY

[dreamy chasm]

i have both ssds filled to the brim

[potent arrow]

@modern iris_______________@

Ok cool

that pinged SOMEONE

OFC

[dreamy chasm]

lmaoo

[hard drift]

it's okay they don't speak 🙏

[dreamy chasm]

well, it they were both full until i cleared some app installs i had

[sharp star]

Yaoi

[potent arrow]

But I do have a 120tb NAS

Cuz fucking adobe shit builds up over time

[dreamy chasm]

these two storage devices are all i have

[hard drift]

my 2 ssds

[potent arrow]

Mine literally full of work and porn

[dreamy chasm]

based

[hard drift]

[dreamy chasm]

hm

i wonder if there are any

half decent cheap wireless mice i can buy

[potent arrow]

yeah

Logitfuck

[dreamy chasm]

the one i have is acting up

oh

the g304

i would but

i used a g102 and the

shape genuinely hurts my hands

[hard drift]

cyberpunk got FSR 2.1 so we can see further testing

[potent arrow]

check out the g305

that one is much more comfortable and probally the best cheap mice rn

[dreamy chasm]

shape doesnt look much different

[potent arrow]

its less flat

[dreamy chasm]

oh

well

its the

side profile

of the 102 i really didn't like

[potent arrow]

: P idk im a logitech slut

[dreamy chasm]

I kind of need a mouse with small lips near the back

like on the kana v2 ig

man

i miss my kana

[potent arrow]

Ive been using ym superlight since it released

[hard drift]

the problem is you're after wireless so it narrows down the options especially when talking cheap

[dreamy chasm]

i can be talked down to wired

[potent arrow]

superlight is fairly cheap

:3

[dreamy chasm]

not in my case

i have like

40-60 bucks max for a mouse rn

[hard drift]

i mean, i like the steelseries mice but my model is discontinued (for good reason)

[dreamy chasm]

i have a rerelease of the kana v2

well

"modern" version of it

but it was a cn exclusive

and i cant really get it anymore

[hard drift]

ah, are you after another that's either grip style?

or can it just be right handed?

[dreamy chasm]

I kind of need the ambidextrous shape on the kana

my pinky curls back and uses the back lip as support

[hard drift]

idk if the rival 5 is ambi

[dreamy chasm]

i might just get the rival 100

err, rival 3

[hard drift]

rival 3 also has a wireless version

[dreamy chasm]

shape seems close enough to what i want

i'll probs go wired

if im buying the rival

i dont like dealing with batteries

[hard drift]

i don't blame you 🙏

that's why i went wired

[dreamy chasm]

there's the

delux m800 pro

which looks promising

but i dont want to deal with rmas if the qc on it ends up being bad

btw, my iems are coming in tmrw @potent arrow

[hard drift]

what iem did you get?

[dreamy chasm]

moondrop arias

[hard drift]

they're nice 🙏

[dreamy chasm]

mhm

[hard drift]

i love my pair

[dreamy chasm]

i hope the one i have stays good for a few years

oh, i got the snow edition

I don't really like

having much bass

[hard drift]

😔 i don't either but i didn't know about the snow edition

[dreamy chasm]

[hard drift]

had them for over a year

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

: P

[hard drift]

it's weird that the regular doesn't show the frequency response like the snow version does

[potent arrow]

Meanwhile Im tring to replace my headphones

[dreamy chasm]

ive given up on headphones

it gets too

hot in my room in the morning

ive replaced 3 pairs of ear cups on my takstars

[hard drift]

open back

[potent arrow]

^^^

My room is regurlay 30C +

[dreamy chasm]

it'd still be considerably hotter than iems

also, i already bought the arias

[hard drift]

yeah lol

[dreamy chasm]

so it's pointless getting a pair of shp9500s or whatever at this point

[potent arrow]

also headphones be pricey

[dreamy chasm]

yea

[hard drift]

damn, idk if there is a place i can get replacement mouse feet for my mouse

[dreamy chasm]

if you don't need a perfect fit, some people like getting ptfe dots

[potent arrow]

Which ones bidori?

I have a good list

[hard drift]

idk what you mean by which ones

i just need ones that work for my mouse lol

[potent arrow]

What mouse are you using...........

[hard drift]

rival 710

[potent arrow]

https://feetglide.com/shop/glides/feetglide-skates-for-steelseries-rival-700-rival-710-fg-056/

[hard drift]

does this ship to the US

[dreamy chasm]

also, i ordered this a million years ago but it's been stuck in customs for 2 weeks now

i was looking forward to using it too

[potent arrow]

I mean it's where I got this

[hard drift]

🙏 i'll try it out

[dreamy chasm]

i wonder if i can just repair my current one instead

[potent arrow]

whats broke?

[dreamy chasm]

middle mouse button

[potent arrow]

if its the switch you can solder a new one in

[dreamy chasm]

yea

[potent arrow]

oh

thats harder

[dreamy chasm]

like

the scroll wheel is 100% fine\

but the m3 click underneath is

[potent arrow]

My switches are swapped

[dreamy chasm]

awful

i need to put in 300g of pressure or something

just to get it to register a press

[potent arrow]

Probally dust

[hard drift]

have to use paypal because card isn't supported

weird

[potent arrow]

see if you can take apart the mouse and soak it in isopropyl

like the middle button

[dreamy chasm]

mmh

[potent arrow]

put a drop of iso on it

[dreamy chasm]

i think ill get replacement mouse feet first

i dont want to wreck the

current set

i think i can get a cheap set of dots for a few bucks where i am

[hard drift]

feet are ordered 🙏 hopefully they work out

[potent arrow]

bless

Oh I reallllly want glass feet for my mouse

but hoyl fucking shit its pricey

[hard drift]

lol

[dreamy chasm]

seems like they're only really useful for

[hard drift]

i'd be worried about glass feet interfering with me taking out the cable/sensor

[dreamy chasm]

games where you need good tracking

[potent arrow]

https://www.pulsar.gg/products/for-logitech-gpro-x-superlight

[hard drift]

oh i was expecting it to cost more

25 isn't horrible

[potent arrow]

Ive put too much into this mouse lol

[hard drift]

lol

[potent arrow]

less friction is better for my wrist in the long term

thats literally it

[dreamy chasm]

valid

[potent arrow]

I already have RSI

so ive been padding it

[dreamy chasm]

consider it an investment, then?

i dont think you'd need to replace them if you don't use a scratchy surface

[potent arrow]

Imma wait for a V2 of the superlight before putting any more money in it

[dreamy chasm]

ah

do u have issues with the superlight rn

[potent arrow]

Nope

Its literally the perfect mouse

[dreamy chasm]

why wait for a v2 then

[potent arrow]

cuz I like shiney

[dreamy chasm]

it'll maybe come with a marginally better sensor or something

[potent arrow]

Ive also worn the side plastic so hard its getting thin ROFL

[dreamy chasm]

ah

[hard drift]

get some grip stuff

[potent arrow]

I dont think it gets any better from here

[dreamy chasm]

just get grip tape, feet and call it a day imo

[potent arrow]

Superlight is consider the top of the line and still NOTHING has come close to it

[dreamy chasm]

yea

[hard drift]

https://www.amazon.com/Hotline-Games-Anti-Slip-Professional-Resistant/dp/B08MKJ5MRQ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3UW1O1NBYYPKU&keywords=mouse+grip+tape&qid=1664715855&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjkwIiwicXNhIjoiNC4zOSIsInFzcCI6IjMuOTgifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=mouse+grip+tape%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-5

[potent arrow]

I would use grip tape but it adds just enough width that it triggers my rsi

[dreamy chasm]

WAIT

[potent arrow]

becuase it expands out a bit

[dreamy chasm]

i just found a mouse that's close to the kana

but it's a bit over my budget

[dreamy chasm]

[hard drift]

might be worth it 🙏

[dreamy chasm]

maybe

[dreamy chasm]

but it's wired

hmm

[potent arrow]

Big boi

[potent arrow]

I love that im using the superlight for MW2 and FF14

[dreamy chasm]

I also just found the ie3

[hard drift]

mw2 🙏

[potent arrow]

very very tracking demanding games...

[dreamy chasm]

i mean

its 25 bucks

and you said you had issues with friction

just go for it

[potent arrow]

kinda w/e issue for now

[dreamy chasm]

fair enough

[hard drift]

your sensitivity is so low 😭

i'm just now starting to use the guns 🙏 just finished getting knife/shield plat

[potent arrow]

im just slow at the game

[dreamy chasm]

I remember back when

[hard drift]

if you're slow at the game stay away from knife/shield plat... it'll make you want to die

[dreamy chasm]

I used to play csgo

[potent arrow]

This is so fucking funny

[dreamy chasm]

I'd play with 400 dpi and 0.8 sens

[potent arrow]

I bonked him with a flash

like it landed on his head

[dreamy chasm]

i needed my whole desk to hit a spray pattern

[hard drift]

[potent arrow]

Christ

[dreamy chasm]

it was fun though

[potent arrow]

Im not touch mw2 till s1 tho

[dreamy chasm]

plus, the kana v2 was light enough that i didnt give a shit

[hard drift]

this is my sensitivity

[potent arrow]

Im already 55 in like the first three days

[hard drift]

idk how cpi is vs dpi

[dreamy chasm]

same shit

[hard drift]

could've swore they weren't but then again idk

[dull garnet]

cots per inch

[potent arrow]

ff14 set up

woopd

[potent arrow]

this

[dreamy chasm]

theyre technically different

but its practically the same thing

[modest moss]

Carpet chad

[hard drift]

🙏

[dreamy chasm]

I just found

[hard drift]

i used to play on 3600 dpi back when i was younger

[potent arrow]

gm shue

Can you suck me off

[hard drift]

WHAT

[dreamy chasm]

some guy selling refurbished intellimice from the 2000s or someshit

[dull garnet]

wmo 1.1a is the best mouse ever made

[dreamy chasm]

id consider it if i didnt have to overclock it to get it past 125hz

im lazy

[hard drift]

you wanna explain this

[potent arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-vape-juul-gif-19293187

[dreamy chasm]

oh, they have ie3.0s too

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/waynes-world-that-sucks-it-sucks-sucks-not-good-gif-21320532

[dreamy chasm]

HMM

its like

[dull garnet]

i used a 3.0 for a bit

[dreamy chasm]

30 bucks

do i take the risk on it

[dull garnet]

was like £2

both my 3.0 and wmo the wheels died

[dreamy chasm]

[dull garnet]

they're not very durable

[dreamy chasm]

shame tbh

the shape seems nice
