it still holds them back not to mention the ps4 could already barely handle SFV and SFVI is going to be worse

#

developers just need to end development of next gen titles for old consoles SCGgun

uneven spade
#

didn't Diablo 4 had some memory leaks or so?

hard drift
#

diablo 4 had so many problems haha

#

game was dogshit for optimization

#

if the release isn't any better namazuconcern

uneven spade
hard drift
#

the problem was the game would crash and shit and it was literally just the games fault, it was all over their forums and shit

woah cute

#

OW2 suffered from horrible latency issues and didn't help that NVIDIA did stick with INTx until Ampere has arrived

deep sapphire
#

OW2 is a bad game

uneven spade
#

thank god nvcleaninstall for installing drivers in msi mode by default

hard drift
deep sapphire
#

and that is coming from someone who played OW1 religiously

hard drift
#

although xiv isn't much better ASevil

deep sapphire
#

I havent played it in months

#

OW1 at least when I came back I stayed

hard drift
deep sapphire
#

OW2 you lost 12 games in a row

#

and it makes you not wanna bother playing it

#

WHERE THE FUCK IS START

#

oh there it is

hard drift
uneven spade
#

had a bit of hope for the game

#

as they did fix some of the major issues from OW1

#

going from 6v6 to 5v5 by making only 1 tank as the default, they got rid of Brig's CC

royal forge
#

I played OW1 cuz of the free "fan content"

genuinely I enjoyed OW2 at its beginning until the balance problems were literally in front of my face at master elo

prepare for another disaster

#

RTX 4060 8GB

#

nono

#

4060 7.5 + 0.5GB

hard drift
#

that won't be for a long while

royal forge
hard drift
#

considering the series S is 10gb haha we got a long time

royal forge
#

it'll be the 970 again

#

im STILL salty over that

uneven spade
#

10GB will be basically the minimum requirement

hard drift
uneven spade
#

I don't see 8 gig offerings like the 4060 lasting for too long in the market

hard drift
#

the "saving grace" of the 4060 will be dlss 3 haha

#

it was put in quotes for a reason dorime

#

dlss3 along with fsr3 are trash

uneven spade
# royal forge im STILL salty over that

to be fair, the 970 had a driver mitigation. the NVIDIA driver would allocate 512mb for very lightweight information while the 3.5GB framebuffer will be used for everything

#

and honestly. the card has aged well

remind me of Arm upgrade in Megaman X4
You either has four charges of your default charged shots, or a super shot that makes short works of everything in seconds.

Window shopping for a number of gaming PCs that could be purchased altogether for less than the cost of a single nVidia Geforce RTX 4090 graphics card.

Consumer-grade graphics cards for £1500+ like nVidia’s brand new RTX 4090 don’t, in my opinion, have a great reason to exist. Rather than spend the RTX 4090’s release day picking over benchmarks...

▶ Play video
real edge
#

you had a good reason to get the 3090

#

for the extra vram buffer

#

for your 3D work

#

some people did recommend for you to wait but you really really wanted to go through with it and I do not blame you for feeling pressured for an upgrade

#

pressure is a common shitty tech tactic

#

that companies employ

#

and if you want a 4090 you can sell your 3090 for like 1000$ and grab it for 1600$, although its not worth it in your case

#

you are fine with what you have

#

for a long time

#

its ok no need to feel pressure

torpid kayak
#

I think better to buy one or two generation behind of current gen. Though 50xx is gonna terrible at this rate.

im quite happy with the 3090

im really pleased with it

#

hm my Logteich keyboard has its keycap's letters fades away

#

it looks like someone just scratch the paint off 😦

#

am supposed to replace keycaps often?

void dove
#

no, sounds like logi-shit 😛

torpid kayak
#

meh 😦

void dove
#

i stopped buying them years ago, they screwed me over on warranty twice, both because of devices failing, so yea, take from that what you will.

torpid kayak
#

I guess I will avoid it when my thing finally breaks then

#

I have several logitech stuffs. G502 mouse works fine. The 5.1 speakers too. Only the G512 keyboard has keycap fading problem

late basalt
#

Keycap fade would be considered normal wear and tear, so warranty coverage seems iffy on that

void dove
#

they seem to have become a bit, hit and miss in recent years, in terms of product quality and service.

late basalt
#

True

#

For as much as people shit on razer lately, I have an old Lachesis that still works from like….7-8 years ago

void dove
#

i used to run g400 mice, Both broke at the connection to the mouse, because the cable was so flimsy and had no support.

#

love the shape, so i found a copy cat mouse from Roccat

late basalt
#

I just stopped using it because I couldn’t be bothered cleaning it anymore haha

void dove
#

and i can't kill the thing

#

it was cheaper than the g400

#

and has a braided cable

#

and is otherwide the same shape

#

and has RGB logo on it, the g400 did not back then

#

its overall better, in many ways, except the software is crap

#

But i dont use the software, so i dont care 😄

#

i make my own macros

late basalt
#

I’ve got the 502 now, but my only complaint is that it’s like….1/2 an inch too short

void dove
#

keyboard i replaced with a roccat as well, but it was an odd mini keyboard

#

interesting, not bad quality, but one of the keys i broke off

#

oops 😛

#

wwell outside warranty thou (unlike logitech 😦 )

#

so i replaced it with a Corsair K55, been very happy with it

#

my old logitech g510 still works, but id gotten sick of how bulky it was

#

so its catching dust

royal forge
#

i cant find a replacement of my MX518

#

i live in fear of them discontinuing it

void dove
#

g400 was a mx518 replacement wasnt it?

royal forge
#

and i debate if i should buy several for backup

#

well

#

they re-released the MX518

void dove
#

yeah, purely a marketing stunt, since the g400 existed

royal forge
#

i've YET to see a mouse that can has it's exact shape

#

for a replacement

#

i actually have an easier time to get the new 518 rather than the g400

void dove
#

its a common shape now, because of hoe popular it was

#

look similar?

#

because it is

royal forge
#

but the side curve

void dove
#

has more buttons same shape

royal forge
#

and i DO like the 400's weight

#

i am not a fan of too light setups

void dove
#

the left side thing is just a skid, your thumb can rest on, doesn't change the shape much

#

slightly less shape, but still has the thumb side on the left

#

however this is the full basic copy of the mx518/g400

#

mine is an older version of this

#

its basically identical

#

but same shape

#

ah here, i have this exact one
doesn't exist anymore afaik

#

specifically went for it because its a clone of a g400

royal forge
#

im surprised logitech hasn't attempted introducing the shape into more designs

#

their new ones are...

#

i dunoe

#

not great

void dove
#

yeah i know what you mean

Reuters -

“DETROIT, March 31 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N) plans to phase out widely-used Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technologies that allow drivers to bypass a vehicle's infotainment systems, shifting instead to built-in infotainment systems developed with Google for future electric vehicles.”

#

Wonderful. Now the 2 choices we have for phones will carry over to our cars whenlifegetstoEresh

sly elk

#

they specifically say they're ditching android auto support as well

#

which is where it gets funny

astral ridge
sly elk
#

GM's interior computer system already runs android

#

back when we got our cadillac in 2018 I used to rather regularly see it glitch out and out would pop a dialog saying something like "Android is restarting" lol

#

I haven't seen that much lately

#

it also has the settings page where you can force stop apps

astral ridge
#

If I understand it correctly, they are ditching the more open android setup for an integrated Google/GM system

#

(I’m very paranoid about this stuff though)

sly elk
#

#

I guess my best corollary is older Ford power steering. I learned to drive on my dad's old Ford Ranger. If you turn the steering to full lock and push it slightly more the power steering goes RRRGGGRRRGRRRGRRRRR and it sounds like it's about to explode. It's not broken, that just what all the Ford power steering systems from the time did. Made a bunch of racket and drama because "Ferd."

How does it feel maintaining KupoBot?

cerulean talon
#

In relative terms, KupoBot is a very small project compared to the ones that I've maintained for jobs in my career.

#

Small in his case being something like 50k discords and 5-10mish users.

#

It's a fun project for me with very interesting constraints that I don't usually have when employed and working on a project.

lethal dune
#

5 - 10mil user right?

cerulean talon
#

Mmhmm.

lethal dune
cerulean talon
#

Pretty much, he's a fun project, and brings up some interesting problems.

#

Which leads to interesting solutions that fit well into his problemspace.

lethal dune
cerulean talon
#

Sure, the easiest is the !hank command, which is an alias of !catgirl. In kupo's original configuration, he had the abitilty to have commands /disabled/ in a channel (All enabled by default), but not the ability to have a command /enabled/ in a specific channel, while being off everywhere else.

lethal dune
#

Ohhhh

cerulean talon
#

This is slightly problematic for commands that are highly likely to be spammed, and the way his checking system was written was for the former, not the latter.

#

So one evening I hashed out an entire access-control-list system, embedded it into his core, added a dozen-ish new commands, so we could have !hank. The system will support far more commands and usages into the future, but it's weird problems like that.

#

The other big one was his SQL upgrade, but that was it's own death I'm still debugging from time to time.

lethal dune
#

That's something you don't see in professional work

#

Guess KupoBot is like any other Moogle

cerulean talon
#

Usually, no, the scope of kupo being /extremely/ public, and having to think through command structure and utilization is /extremely/ rare in most jobs.

#

Discord bots as it turns out are fascinating examples of a weird cross for programmers, particularly ones like me whom are backend developers, where our backend code /is/ the frontend code, so things we rely on the frontend hiding isn't doable.

lethal dune
#

Ohhhhh

#

I'm not into that level yet

#

I prefer dealing with user testing and quality control testing

cerulean talon
#

Thankfully, this discord is my user testing platform.

lethal dune
#

Ohhhhh

#

True

cerulean talon
#

(For real though, there is a test bot and discord I do most of the testing in, or in one of my test discords)

lethal dune

Fair enough

cerulean talon

Kupo's a little too big for the "I'll just push it to prod" meme.

Especially building physical servers

I really want that Square Enix job

It's more likely to be OS loading and setup in terms of "building"

Rarely is any large enterprise going to make you physically build servers if you're doing IAAC.

But I don't know if my study for Bachelor of IT (Advance Networking) is viable

cerulean talon

You'll never know until you apply.

lethal dune

True!

I'm still studying for my certs

I'm doing pathway course

I hate you Cisco

#

There's also a non-zero chance that there's other, side positions they may not list you could work at in a junior role, etc.

lethal dune
#

So I was looking at the other jobs, anything art related for the studio is all contract base

#

But somehow IT related stuff is Permanent

cerulean talon
#

Ye, I meant more as a junior sysad.

#

That's normal.

#

Not all companies will advertize a junior sysad role, but if someone comes in higher than they are, and the company feels they might be a good fit, they'll occassionaly open up.

#

In the end, the only thing it costs is some time (and pride from time to time), to apply and find out where you are.

lethal dune
#

I'm just more curious what does this job entails

#

Server building and maintenance is one thing

#

But I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into

the old ATI building in markham ontario

sly elk
#

and one dude that goes to china and has 99.999% of the keyboard engineered and built

#

the one they sell for $350

#

for $350 they could probably make most of it in europe but no why do that

#

(it's why I fucking hate kickstarter projects)

#

to be fair, if you're trying to kickstart a project for a $100 part and it's going to compete with $50 stuff, i get it

#

but when they decide that budget isn't a concern

#

why do they still do it -_-

Even if they didn't work, they're history, and something to be preserved in some quantity imo.

And I /severely/ dislike macs.

But they're a fascenating part of the history of consumer PC design, particularly in the era they were released in.

like there's a similar faction of people who nearly fetishize old IBM hardware

I bet you could mount a bunch of half-depth servers in there no problem.

the wiring in the middle is insane lol

i mean you could fit full size rack servers inside the seat part anyway lol

cerulean talon

Yeah, but that's not classy.

ofc

#

you could put some interesting hardware in the base and then have the tower made into a cooling system

which I think is the opposite of how it actually worked?

cerulean talon

Yeah, like a massive passive cooler

#

And correct, the base was the cooler.

So, the seat height is 19", the columns are surprisingly small, only 56" diamater.

I'll just build some custom rigs or something to make it fit.

the little pi zero w performs well enough to run n64 games

but it's the most uncomfortable portable gaming device i've ever used, aside from a regular gameboy, which makes sense because its' basically a regular gameboy

then you have something like the zelda game & watch, which is a lovely emulator package, but it has 4mb of flash and it's a royal pain in the butt to mod them

it's small, it's lightweight, the controls are surprisingly comfortable, and the screen is detailed enough that i like playing on it despite it being small

one thing I'd like to see that I haven't seen yet

ya know those arcade1up cabinets

it'd be cool if they were able to offer them with the modern adaptions of the games that atari and whoever kicks out for things like pac man and galaga and tetris

price to performance

its a cheap 1440p monitor with a high HZ ceiling

real edge

with decent contrast, decent motion performance, good colors

if you have a chance of getting the QP at a tiny price increase you should

the Q X is the elite version so to say

Alright. Colors etc shpuld be the same right

makes everything better but has a bigger premium

royal forge

Im thinkin about a second monitor

Think of the M27QP as everything the M27Q is but slightly better in everything

#

if its 10$-20$ more or whatever it may be worth the uplift

royal forge
#

#

I just saw my oncall claims total

#

So i can splurge a bit

#

tho the Q X is the one I would recommend for extended heavy use

but its usually like 100-150$ more so whether its worth it to you varies
