Fell in love with PC gaming again… Was a Blackwidow V3 a good keyboard choice?

[deep sapphire]

It’s fine

I find razer quality control a lot better in the last few years

So you shouldn’t have any issues

[modern iris]

I got a Naga Classic too. Good stuff for FFXIV.

[inland mauve]

god I hate that we live in this era of clickbait headlines

like the Capcom DRM stuff, I still don't know what's the truth about that

part of it was ragebait but apparently there is nevertheless something shady about it all, but what's the truth?

[lost python]

https://youtu.be/HT8UmPrQYvk

12gb btw

cooling and power efficiency seem pretty good though

card is supposed to start at 670€ over here, so probably averages out at like 700
meanwhile the 4070 ti is just 50€ more

so honestly i am not impressed

[umbral moss]

I thought abp was taken off the security list after it was revealed they were accepting payment from ad companies to white list them

Like, it wouldn't surprise me to find out the reason abp is slowing down pcs is because they stuck a crypto jacker in there

[dire viper]

the 3000 series is just E waste now

4070 Super matches a 3080 Ti

1200 dollar GPU vs 600 dollar GPU

[real edge]

the street price

of a 3080ti

is 550$ or less

right now

not 1200

[dire viper]

for used ones maybe, ive not seen any below 900

at least here

its still extremely goofy regardless

[real edge]

that is how it always was in ages past btw

70 series was equal to prev gen 90 series

or 80ti

and 80ti was 90ti

before 90 moniker was introduced

[dire viper]

I mean yea but its kinda crazy how gimped the 30 series is

I know the R&D is wack nowadays but holy crap

[real edge]

the 4070non super is considered trash because it was only equal to the 3080, not 3090/3090ti in performance, it also had shit vram, ppl expected 16, not 12

[dire viper]

I struggle to run games on my 3070 now

which is nuts

[real edge]

I can run all games at at least 60fps with FSR2

1070

[dire viper]

yea fair

[real edge]

except alan wake

ofc

[dire viper]

FSR and DLSS is cool and it definitely does allow older GPU's to really get by

but also I feel like a lot of games come out with the expectation that you will just have it on by default unless you have a top spec card

[real edge]

3070 is still a good GPU, just gimped by its vram capacity

[dire viper]

which is kinda shitty

[dire viper]

I cant have MHW with the high res graphics installed or else it caps my vram and starts crashing discord and shit lmao

but that is a MHW issue

[real edge]

ye, good GPU gimped by vram

[dire viper]

I mean I run Cyberpunk pretty good

only issue is that its still pushed so I get lots of issues

my friend on a 4080 and a 5800X3D sees essentially zero bugs but I see a decent amount of bugs, which has been a mix of driver updates and just the GPU and my CPU not being able to keep up I think

[real edge]

what is your cpu

the way it works is essentially

if your CPU runs your GPU to the max, then a better cpu will not see your fps improve

[dire viper]

5600X

[dire viper]

ye

[real edge]

5600x is a good combination with the 3070

[dire viper]

I got a 5600X cause there was a sale with my mobo so I got it near its launch for half price

[real edge]

40 series is not worth for a 30 series owner

[dire viper]

yea I dont really have many issues

its just annoying that I really just have to think about if I wanna get a new game due to the performance gaps

[real edge]

you can run everything

with that pc

especially if I can

the only thing I cannot run is alan wake

I can run alan wake but at 30fps or some shit and I do not consider that playable

[dire viper]

I like everything running at 144 minimum

[odd sand]

If the OS is still running on a HDD then yeah even a budget SSD will make it feel a lot more responsive. Just put like some 500gb one in there

[graceful pine]

Yeah there are some game that’s not a good idea

[modern iris]

I went with just a 2TB SSD for my new rig and it made a huge difference.

[real edge]

huh?

[graceful pine]

Creation engine physics shit glitches out over 60 fps as an example

There are mods to try and mitigate it

But generally people don’t go over 60

There’s one section in Halo Reach that’s become insanely difficult in the PC port, because the aggressiveness of the ai is tied to the frame rate for some reason

[modern iris]

Which section? There was a Hunter that was really hard to kill somewhere on the PC version.

[graceful pine]

Long night of solace the space part(on legendary of course)

The seraphs became insanely aggressive in the McC port because of increased tick rate or some shit

It becomes much easier if you cap your frame rate at 30 which was the 360 cap

[sly elk]

mm

i thought about switching to a 7900xtx

i probably should've done it before because the 3080ti probably dropped another $100 since i last checked haha

(I want the dp2.0 so I can drive my monitor at 240hz - idk about the supers but the 40 series can't do dp2.0)

looks like the super can't do dp2.0 either 😦

[umbral moss]

The infamous sweet roll missile

Even ffxiv breaks if you run the physics engine out of the design spec

Read: tiddy physics only work properly at 30 fps

[lost python]

thankfully we got modders. even if the modding community seems to cause drama every 3 months

[modern iris]

120 FPS tiddies.

[umbral moss]

Smooth bounces

[graceful pine]

Dunno if starfield actually fixed the physics fps thing

There have been mods to try and correct it

[odd sand]

Is there a setting for like 180 or something? Or only 144?

[sly elk]

120 lol

better than my work laptop anyway

my work laptop only lets me do 5120x1440@120hz (no higher even at 60hz)

[sly elk]

The FCC filing shows that the Vision Pro does not have any approved operating frequencies in the 6 GHz range, confirming that the headset lacks Wi-Fi 6E support. In addition, one of Apple's documents in the application confirms that the Vision Pro supports regular Wi-Fi 6, which operates on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.

lol 😄

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/vision-pro-hands-on-reviewers-comment-on-weight-disney-experience-virtual-keyboard-and-more.2416519/

The Verge's Victoria Song didn't comment in detail on the weight, but said that you can feel it sitting on your head "wrecking your hairdo," and that those with long hair can feel it bunch up at the back.

^ this.. uh.. ya know that's one of the things they needa figure out about VR headsets

they won't work with a lot of hair styles lol

I imagine that having one on for extended periods of time will mess up your scalp the same way having headphones on for extended periods of time does

[odd sand]

I mean, if you want it wireless, all the hardware needs to be on the device. So the only other solution is to have some monstrous shoulder mount like you're holding up a drum in marching band

[sly elk]

yeaa lol

i guess what i'm getting at, at least for now, no matter how you do it, it's probably going to stay a niche device

this is one of those weird times that I think apple bit too soon

maybe in 5 years they'll figure it out

this,.. actually wouldn't be un-apple of them though. It took a while for them to hit their stride with the ipod

but that was more of a marketing problem than anything. Well, that, and making a USB version, and a version of itunes for windows so you could use them with PCs

[umbral moss]

The engineers said it works fine in their testing

[late basalt]

@cerulean talon finally added a camera to my laser cutter after giving it a taller enclosure

just needs some fuckery across my computers to make sure setting mismatches are dealt with

[late basalt]

i kid you not, one of my professors last semester could have been his twin

[cerulean talon]

Niiiice.

I've given up hacking on my laser cutter until I move.

[sly elk]

imagine having hair like this and trying on a vr headset

unfortunately i can't think of a way to solve that one lol

i imagine the hair would accomodate it since it's mostly floof

but it would be a pain to take offl ol

[umbral moss]

Glasses

[late basalt]

the hard part is the fact that now i've got to deal with resetting the fume extraction crap again

[umbral moss]

Why does the thing need to be mounted to your head like a goddamn xenomorph

[sly elk]

because it's heavy

apple talks so big about their stuff that i'm surprised it's not basically an iphone

[late basalt]

picked up some inline fans off amazon, so now i just need to wait til payday to have money to pick up the ducting n shit from lowes, then i can actually start using it for stuff again

[umbral moss]

Honestly, why couldn't it just be an iPhone or a wireless data connection to the headset from the parent device

There's, uh, fucking wimax or whatever

[graceful pine]

Yeah that’d not stay secure

VR tech rn is just bulky

[golden stream]

Better counting the hair spray and residue hair spray on the headset
It's ew tho
Doesn't count it may deform the hairstyle

[cold pebble]

Hi, I need help with something

I own a laptop with a NVIDIA Getforce GTX 1650 graphic card

It’s what I use for FFXIV and the game runs.. okay?

I play on 60fps locked and ocasional frame drops

I do have only 8GB of ram

A friend of mine is telling me he can install me an extra 8GB, so I have 16 total

I don’t know anything about computers but would increasing my RAM help my game performance ?

[kindred brook]

@modest moss

[modest moss]

[modest moss]

it would help a little but it's not going to make a huge difference

[cold pebble]

[cold pebble]

Do you think I could go from 60 fps to 72 with that little difference ?

[modest moss]

I doubt it

[cold pebble]

Like, I’m able to get way more frames but it isn’t stable, the thing that kills my laptop is the amount of players

[cold pebble]

Hm

[modest moss]

it can't hurt to upgrade if it's cheap, just don't expect miracles

[cold pebble]

My friend is doing it for 40 bucks

[modest moss]

that sounds kinda expensive

[golden stream]

for 8 to 16GB of memory: mostly yes
but pls keep in mind that it mostly help in multitasking like chrome while XIV

but ye 40$ is quite expensib

[modest moss]

can't be sure without knowing exactly what laptop you have though

[golden stream]

assuming DDR4 with 1650

[modest moss]

yeah

depending on the ram speed in there, you can probably get an 8gb stick for 20 or so

[golden stream]

or less

[cold pebble]

No wait, money conversion mistake

20 bucks for the ram and installation

Whoops

[golden stream]

LMAO

ok that's more reasonable

[modest moss]

if you can spare the 20 comfortably go for it, but it's not going to be a dramatic change

[cold pebble]

As long as there is a change im okay with it

[odd sand]

16gb has been the standard for like 5 years now so it will let you not have to worry about background apps like chrome or discord possibly slowing things down with multitasking

They should just try to match the ram that is already in there as best as possible. Like if it's 3200mhz or 2666mhz or whatever it is

[cold pebble]

Alright

Thank you

[lost python]

man, i redid my cabling etc and its still not enough. even just putting my blanket to the side generates enough static electricity that my keyboard turns off

[real edge]

man is palpatine

exudes static electricity

try putting some plastic under your setup, like a table cover

[lost python]

wdym

under my pc or what?

[real edge]

on the table that your setup exists on top of

put a plastic table cover

[potent arrow]

I fail to see how that would help

if not make it worse

[potent arrow]

incredibly stupid question but are sockets in Germany grounded

[lost python]

yes

look like this

[potent arrow]

neat

also are you on carpet

[lost python]

partially

[potent arrow]

just sounds like for some reason your PC isn't grounded properly tbh

theoretically you can discharge yourself by touching the chassis because it's grounded

it shouldn't go to your board lmao

[lost python]

the PC itself is on the floor actually. the desk is partially on carpet and partially on the floor

my keyboard and mouse are also the only thing affected by it

[potent arrow]

whack

and you have an io shield on your motherboard?

[lost python]

i has also only started happening after i changed my room layout, but i didnt really change anything other than bundling up my cables in a cable canal below my desk

ofc

[potent arrow]

mmm

whack grounding issue

wonder if it's the carpet

just a significant amount of static

the static is probably taking out the USB port

[lost python]

but then why does it only happen when my gf, who sits at the other side of the room, gets up from her chair

[potent arrow]

if it's really a problem I assume you can do the funny trick of occasionally spraying the area with water and fabric softener mix

[lost python]

at least in 99% of cases its then

[potent arrow]

because she gets up, builds up a charge and touches the board?

[lost python]

what board

[potent arrow]

the keyboard

I assume that's what's happening

[lost python]

no she doesnt touch anything

[potent arrow]

oh

[lost python]

nothing is touching the keyboard

[lost python]

i totally get screens flickering due to chairs, because thats a pretty common issue it seems, but this just doesnt make sense to me

[potent arrow]

magic

[dire viper]

House randomly sprung a grounding issue lol

One of my USB ports is dead cause apparently me getting up on my carpet with my headphones on was enough static to send it through the headphones, through my DAC and just make that shit break

Getting out of my chair killed one of my USB ports

[cerulean talon]

Mine crashes the video input every time I stand up from my chair, but only affects one of the 3 monitors on that setup, it's wild.

At this point I just stand up touching my groudned phone charger so it doesn't reset the input.

[cerulean talon]

Huh, my mac's GPU just crashed hilariously.

Stupid GPU's.

[potent arrow]

grounding is the most whack thing about hardware

[cerulean talon]

Nah, I can go one better.

The wildest thing is when you've got 2 legs of power (phases) and you've got hardware on different phases, that connect together.

You get some WILD weird stuff happening.

[dire viper]

remember to paint over your grounding points

[potent arrow]

Ive studied ac for most of my degree, but grounding I barely understand LOL

[dire viper]

electricity is magic anyways

its like aerodynamic lift

it just works

and we can only guess why

although electricity is way more understood than lift lol

[cerulean talon]

Grounding or earthing.

[graceful pine]

We have models for the physics of it

[cold pebble]

If i were to buy a new Laptop, yes Laptop, to upgrade from my 1650, what are the most important things I should look for? the graphic card?

I'm stupid when it comes to Compupers

Like, if i look up computers with a Nvidia 3050 graphic card, am i good?

I need something decent but also not super expensive

[sharp star]

You can't upgrade laptop GPUs or CPUs. You'd have to get a prebuilt desktop or build one yourself.

[cold pebble]

no

i'm talking about buying a new laptop

[sharp star]

Never mind I can't read

[cold pebble]

it's okay

[sharp star]

I don't really know where to place laptop GPUs in relation to their desktop counterparts so I would say like a 60 class GPU is fine?

[cold pebble]

for example i found this one online

Intel Core i5 8GB RAM 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 144 Hz

does this sound good? cuz i can just add extra RAM later

[sharp star]

yeah I don't think a 3050 is gonna push those frames up to 144Hz

[cold pebble]

I mean i don't need 144 frames

I'd be really comfortable with a stable 72

for XIV specifically

[sharp star]

even then a 3050 laptop would struggle to run most modern games unless you make cutbacks, but XIV isn't a very demanding game OTOH

[cold pebble]

XIV is the most modern game I play lol

[sharp star]

as for the RAM I think you should be fine when upgrading it but I would personally stay away from laptops with soldered RAM

[modern iris]

I hate laptops aside from Macs. Just had bad experiences with shitbox HP/Lenovo ones. We always bought my mom those and every one of them overheated or was defective.

That and most printers are absolute garbage.

[cold pebble]

is this better or worse than the one i said earlier?

Lenovo V15 G4 Ryzen 5 7520u 512gb Ssd 8gb Ram W11

maybe i should just stick to nvidia

So i was reading and watching some videos about the 3050rtx

I found a comment

''it is a great card, but for anyone considering it, please look at the 6600xt/6650xt. They perform about the same as the rtx 3060 but for the price of a 3050.''

do you agree with this ?

[cerulean talon]

They can perform the same, but AMD's driver support is absolute cheeks.

Nvidia is much nicer for "I don't want to debug my system every 30 minutes while wanting to game"

[real edge]

amd is fine if you just game and browse the web

[sly elk]

The performance is solidly better than a 3060 lol

[real edge]

^

[sly elk]

I think even an arc will be better than a 3060

The 3060 is a ripoff

I still think the driver thing is overblown. I had a 5700xt years ago and the only driver issue I ever had was AMDs game overlay clashed with genshin impact lol

[potent arrow]

3060 is basically ewaste

[sly elk]

Admittedly that was pretty annoying to resolve

But none of the other games I played ever had an issue

[modern iris]

I have a 3060 and it’s great.

[sly elk]

I’ve also had issues with nvidia drivers too soooo

[modern iris]

What’s wrong with the 3060?

[lost python]

the 3060 was alright for its price

the 4060 is trash
so i dont understand why people call it a ripoff

[potent arrow]

They are like 500$ where I live

[lost python]

AMD definitely has much faster cards in that price segment yeah, but i have seen used 3060s for like 150 already

[potent arrow]

Just better options at the price point

[lost python]

500$ wtf, thats bad even for canadian dollars

[potent arrow]

welcome to my hell

when I say ewaste, I mean buy new specifically

never consider the 3060 for new

its perf is pretty lacking in todays standard too

[lost python]

well there is absolutely no reason to buy last gen new these days anyway. even AMD cards are starting to get way too expensive

[potent arrow]

Yerp

the last gen card I would only cautiously recc really is the 3060TI

[lost python]

only exceptions i have seen were like newegg christmas sales. for a period of time they even had a 7800x3d for just 350$ CAD

[modern iris]

I play at 1080p so it works for me.

[sly elk]

in terms of new on amazon, a 6650xt is regularly around $210-250, a 3060 is regularly $279-319

for a tiny bit more you can get a 6700xt

389 gets a 6750xt, even

but eh whatever

if you wanna tell people to get a 3060 instead, go for it

but i think you're getting drunk on brand kool-aid

to be fair though, maybe you really did have that bad an experience and would pay anything to not have to deal with amd crap again 😄

[lost python]

but that still only applies when you look at new cards, which are pretty much always overpriced and continue to rise in price the older they get

[modest moss]

Do me a favour... don't buy anything until at the very earliest the Dawntrail benchmark is out and you've tested it on your current machine

[earnest sedge]

Knowing the ffxiv team, they are gonna optimize the hell out of dawntrail so that it runs super well.

[lost python]

and entirely forget that AA exists once again

Is rtx3060 WAY better than an 3050?

[modest moss]

wait

[cold pebble]

I appreciate your concern but I already sold my old laptop lmao

Like I need a new one now

[modest moss]

[cold pebble]

Besides, I want to play many other games I couldn’t before

[modest moss]

your old one was probably fine for DT

[cold pebble]

I want more than fine tho

I have money to get a rtx3050 MAYBE a 3060

But I’m not sure how much it’s worth it

Cuz it it’s a bit more expensive

[potent arrow]

find a 6600

profit

[real edge]

6600xt/6650xt/6700xt

at that budget

not 3060

[potent arrow]

we should make a huge 3060 gb sized jpg that says not to buy a 3060 at this point

[cold pebble]

I don’t know what this is

Can I find a laptop with that ? I’m just very used to Nvidia

[potent arrow]

oh laptop

[cold pebble]

Yeah

[potent arrow]

@_@

[cold pebble]

It has to be a laptop

[modest moss]

what's your budget and where are you located?

[potent arrow]

if it's a 3050 in a laptop, avoid it like the plague. I can almost guarantee you that it's a lower budget SKU and probably won't run anything well

[cold pebble]

What about the 3060 laptop

A friend is selling it to me

Used ofc for way cheaper

Wrong pic

[potent arrow]

what's the specs

[cold pebble]

This one

[potent arrow]

I can't tell the specs by a picture

make/model/specs

[cold pebble]

One sec, I need to translate everything to English lmao

Lenovo Legion 5 PRO NVIDIA Getforce RTX 3060 16 GB RAM, Intel Core i7 12th Gen

[potent arrow]

well

it's alright

[dapper nymph]

it's alright if the price is reasonable

[potent arrow]

nothing special

depends on the price

[cold pebble]

What would be a good price for that laptop ?

[potent arrow]

uh

hnnng

500-700$ CAD really if it's used

closer to 1000$ CAD new

top of my head

[outer sand]

anyone knew if those nuc PC can play decent games right now?

[potent arrow]

depends on the nuc

[outer sand]

I'm still hanging on the PC that this channel suggested me 2 years ago, and it's still going strong

[potent arrow]

a lot of them are just bare bones

the higher end ones like skull canyon etc will play games well

[outer sand]

but I wonder if the technology advanced enough to have those super micro PC considered

[potent arrow]

if you want that form factor, minis forum is what you want

minisforum has a good offering for super micro machines

[outer sand]

do you know if they can handle FF14, Tekken 8 and Assetto Crosa SRP/Drift with max graphic mod?

ah ok hmm

[potent arrow]

yes

I wonder if there's a technology that can fit a pc into below my monitor, without sacrificing too much of a performance and the PC health

[potent arrow]

your computer is twice or more the size of my pc

[outer sand]

yeah

[outer sand]

what's your build now? 👀

[potent arrow]

listed above

my machine is dead

saving for next gen

[odd sand]

7800X3D?

[potent arrow]

next next gen lmaoo

school and my new business is taking my money

[dire viper]

avoid using userbenchmark, they specifically have spread misinformation and most of the data is bogus

there is a pin in this channel cause of that

[sly elk]

-notes the chord charts- how long have you been playing?

i've been playing all of... 1 year lol..

needless to say I forgot them xD

i did at one point memorize a-f open chords but i forgot :\

[outer sand]

I think almost 2 years, yeah just need to keep practicing I guess 🥲

[sly elk]

HEHE

6 guitars in 2 years

bro did you subscribe to slickdeals 'guitar' term xD

(I know a few people who have done that and bought a similar number of guitars though)

[outer sand]

no I don't buy new stuff hehe, I just like to collect rare guitars hehe

[outer sand]

also

more guitar = longer lifespan!

[outer sand]

also I don't live in the US, so maybe those are for US only?

i don't know how that works

[sly elk]

ohhh ok

slickdeals is a website that people post good deals on stuff on, and a pretty good place to find good guitar deals in the US

but yea, us-centric, unfortunately

[dire viper]

I bought my little brother a custom guitar when I had money for like 2 grand

[sly elk]

niice

[dire viper]

thing is pretty slick

mexi strat parts with vintage hardware

seashell pink

[outer sand]

trust me, there are people that have much more than me, I think 6 is quite normal, 6-12 string, floyd rose, classical, acoustic there are plenty of guitar type

[sly elk]

yea I was looking at your collection and I think every single guitar has a tilted back headstock

heheh mine is just a squier strat and a fender strat

i bought the same guitar twice basically >>

[dire viper]

one of my friends in the UK has 60+ guitars and basses, his dad was a backup guitarist and bassist for like 20 years

[sly elk]

sweet

[dire viper]

same guy bought an original Shelby Cobra and sold it unfortunately

[outer sand]

oh yeah strats are straight headstock I think, I don't like strat's radius and neck profile

[sly elk]

hehe

fair nuff

[outer sand]

yeah strat custom shops are expensive usually

[dire viper]

that was cheap from that maker heh

[sly elk]

$2k is probably not a custom shop, but it doesn't sound like a mod shop either?

[dire viper]

it was already built

[dire viper]

nah, it was a kitbash guitar out of stuff he had lying around

[outer sand]

if you want a straight headstock I think teles are also or you can buy strat, but from other brand, just more flavour

[dire viper]

he usually only makes 15-20 guitars a year

stems off from a much larger custom maker

[outer sand]

something like this https://www.ibanez.com/na/products/model/az/

[sly elk]

heheh

[dire viper]

he had put up that guitar on consignment with a local guitar shop

so i bought it cause it was cheaper than the uh. 5-8k he usually wants

[sly elk]

i think i'm sorted out with guitars for now

next time I want something weird

[dire viper]

tbf, not a custom neck or body which he does

[sly elk]

i have a fender ultra hss strat, it's very very nice, 12" radius... and sparkly blue.. most important thing really

[outer sand]

ic ic, i never knew fender custom shop is more expensive

yeah 12 radius above I think i'm ok with

[sly elk]

yea fender has mod shop where they offer custom builds of whatever they have in their parts bin ... and then custom shop, where they'll make whatever you want if you have $$$

[outer sand]

i think for custom shop, people in US have kiesel

in Aus, we have ormsby

[dire viper]

have you heard of Walt Grace Vintage, Kya?

[sly elk]

noo

[dire viper]

its the highest end non private guitar seller in the US

they have guitars from commercially made to one offs in the 500k+ segment

[outer sand]

cars and guitars, dam rip my wallet if I enter that place

[dire viper]

ye

[sly elk]

lol

[dire viper]

A few of the cars I have done work on have been sold their lmao

[sly elk]

ah i remember now

ever seen a glass guitar? XD

[dire viper]

also the Brumos Porsche collection shows off cars there sometimes which is a collection we did stuff for

[dire viper]

no wtf

that probably doesnt sound fantastic

[sly elk]

https://www.morningstarglassguitars.com/shop

lol there are plenty of youtube videos of them

[dire viper]

but why tho

[outer sand]

I like rosewood, rip

[sly elk]

to me they sound like humbuckers

-shrug-

[outer sand]

that's too much for me haha

[dire viper]

oh well the timbre is not too bad on them

probably cause the pickup is super isolated lmao

[sly elk]

i was surprised as well

[sly elk]

i also like rosewood! When I bought my squier I was a much bigger fan of maple, but the alternative was pao ferro which I don't like

when i got the ultra I wanted one with an ebony neck but those are ... quite expensive

the rosewood one I was a little apprehensive about until I tried itl ol

[outer sand]

yeah not sure about ebony, they are heavy and cracks easily from what I've heard

[sly elk]

plus i think the rosewood fretboards look better with time, while the maple ones look worse

[outer sand]

but they looks good, like for all black guitar

yeah maple are usually finished, and I got the gist that if you practice super hardcore, it will leave stain that's hard to repair or you might need to refinish, but I'm not a luthier or some sort

[outer sand]

for rosedwood, just use lemon/mineral oil liek you clean your chopping board, easy

[sly elk]

the one i got xD

[outer sand]

is that your type? blue with black pickguard and headstock? yeah it looks nice

[sly elk]

nope! mine's shiny blue with a 90s pc pick guard 😄

it needs a turbo button

err and yes i took the stickers off

also i think i like the maple headstock better than the maple painted black on top haha

[outer sand]

oh yeah, people go for maple for that hendrix all white look usually, or you can opt for roasted maple for darker look

[sly elk]

i had considered switching the pickguard on this out for a black one

but meh, I liked it more once i brought it home

[sly elk]

so do you play the black one sitting down?

it looks so cool xD

maximum edginess

[outer sand]

that's just there cause at that time I was learning slipknot duality I think

[sly elk]

ahhh ok

[outer sand]

my 7 string is tuned B standard, I slightly change it to drop B 6 string tuning rather than adjust my other 6 string

and because of the body shape it can't fit with the guitar rack anyway

so it need its own stand..

[sly elk]

which is your favorite to play on?

and what do you play on it? 😄

[outer sand]

recently that 7 string yeah, just duality and parkway drive song like boneyard

but sometimes just my ibanez destroyer, just to practice scales, and improvising stuff hehe

[sly elk]

:3 ANOTHER cool looking guitar!

[outer sand]

sincee you have anime profile pic, I thought you would be aiming that sexy pacifica that bocchi use hehe

611hfm I think? I forgot the series, p90 and push-pull humbucker pick-up very versatile

ohhhh

it has the same profile as your fender ultra just realised lol

https://youtu.be/Q4Hll_C2nQY?si=Ivr9onh1NGhFypLr&t=90 👀 , get the indigo 611 one, then change the pickguard to black, then you will get blue guitar you like + black pick guard

idk why pacifica doesn't have more colour selection on that, having a guitar with push-pull humbucker and p90 and only provides a few colour selection for it smh

[sly elk]

i have the blue guitar i like though :3

translucent blue finish is sexy, but so is sparkly blue paint lol

but yea my HSS has a push-push humbucker split too

combining that with the switch is fun lol

and i do like bocchi the rock

[outer sand]

actually, yeah I didn't realise the sparkly blue there

[sly elk]

hehe ^_^

yea the denim blue was what drew me into wanting an ultra lol

but seriously that one was like $600 more and I have zero regret going with the sparkly blue one 😄

and the ultra is more curvy than the 611 pacifica

i like pacificas though

yamahas are underappreciated :3

-hides- i don't like how p90s look XD especially when they're beige

[outer sand]

oh yeah, those are covers, you can replace them hehe

[sly elk]

G&L pickups though 😄

[outer sand]

i think that's the first time I've seen those pick up, looks like bass's

is that a guitar?

[sly elk]

it's a guitar

[outer sand]

oh yeah 6 string lol

[sly elk]

https://glguitars.com/product/clf-research-espada/

leo fender kept trying out new stuff after he sold fender

[dire viper]

gotta buy an OG Fender Broadcaster

[graceful pine]

There are 6 string basses but that’s definitely a guitar

[dire viper]

there are 8 string basses even

16 if you are Pat Metheny

[graceful pine]

Pearl Jam Jeremy

Used a 12 string bass

[dire viper]

Metheny played a 24 string for a concert one time

that shit is ridiculous

[graceful pine]

Funny thing is Leo never played guitar or any instrument

Despite all his pioneering instrument inventions

Legend says he didn’t even know how to tune a guitar but I doubt that

The solid body guitar was Les Paul’s invention anyway

[sly elk]

I wonder if he never played guitar or just straight up never tried at all

I can't really believe that much

that he never became a musician, sure I can believe that

[outer sand]

afaik he was an engineer, hence why the design of the guitar was really popular

[graceful pine]

The true origin of the tele was Les Paul’s log

But Leo did make changes

[outer sand]

I'm glad, haha even in 2024 Gibson headstock is still having a structural problem

nowadays ESP/LTD made an improved Les Paul compared to Gibson or Epiphone

[graceful pine]

My main is a strat

But I do have an epiphone sg for slide playing

Can’t really play slide with my Floyd rose strat lol

[outer sand]

ic ic, I like Ibanez, 24 frets, 15-17 radius hehe

if I have to choose fender line, probably I'll get something like charvel

[graceful pine]

My strat exactly lol

Charvel

[outer sand]

👀 yeah this one haha

fretboard and headstock matching colour 👌

[graceful pine]

I have a weird taste where I love both neoclassical shreddyness and bluesy slide lol

[outer sand]

i like every genre, but metal is what brought me into guitar hehe

[cold pebble]

Anyone available right now? Just got the 3050ti laptop, I kinda need help with the settings

Finding something good visually and perform good

But I’m not sure how to do it myself

I heard balmung quick sands is a good place to benchmark

[outer sand]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/

just download that and post the result here

for settings, just max everything

if that's not enough, get a gshader/reshade

[cold pebble]

alright let me see

[golden stream]

Balmung Quicksand or any Limsa is a good way of benchmark

[cold pebble]

I just did balmung quicksand lol

Hated it there

[golden stream]

rip your chat man

[cold pebble]

But at max settings and highest resolution possible I got an average of 50 fps, lowest being 42

At quicksand balmung

[golden stream]

you can press Home button to toggle HUD so at least you won't be distracted by the chat at the Quicksand

so uh yeah

[golden stream]

with full vfx?

[cold pebble]

what do you mean vfx?

[golden stream]

visual effect, as peep may random flex their actions, so visual effects from skills may affect fps

it'll be quite an issue if you join hunt train

[cold pebble]

I think I have those set to limited

[golden stream]

ah, neat

I'll recommend joining a hunt train for stress test

[cold pebble]

Do they even happen at this hour ?

[golden stream]

likely not, can stress test it in friday night/weekend

[outer sand]

are those test even necessary? I mean you can limit the amount of object you can see on your screen

to me as long as I can reach 75 fps on alliance raid with allies having limited and yours with full vfx is more than enough for me, then you can improve on +reshade/gshade

[cold pebble]

Are alliance raids more graphically demanding than PVP ?

I legit never do pvp so I don’t know

[outer sand]

its the most graphically demanding after hunts yeah, but you can limit the amount of object appearing on your screen

[cold pebble]

PvP you mean ?

[outer sand]

alliance raid

[cold pebble]

Oh okay

[outer sand]

pvp is nothing I think, just 10 people right?

[cold pebble]

I wouldn’t know lmao

[outer sand]

oh wait you mean frontline

[cold pebble]

Oh maybe

[outer sand]

i guess frontline is about the same as hunts I guess

[golden stream]

frontline is similar-ish to hunt
hunt is somewhat flashier a bit considering many actions even set in limited still have vfx

[cold pebble]

I just did endsinger extreme, high settings and every effect on

And got a stable 82

But then a bath house drops my fps

Is this normal? Should I keep tweaking ?

Or am I good as long as I get the stable fps on battles

[void dove]

you are good when you say you are good.
do you care about slightly lower FPS in non combat content? if not, then leave it, if yes, then tweak it.

[cold pebble]

[royal forge]

I've never seen a PS5 in person till today

those are made up words

[sharp star]

also it’s $300 for a case, a wall scroll, a deskmat, and keycaps 💀

VTubers

[modest moss]

[sharp star]

at least there’s a new pink case

[umbral moss]

$300 for all that?

[sharp star]

funny merchandising things

[sly elk]

So it sounds like with the ruling apple might want 27% of fees even for stuff like Spotify subs

Ya know

They should just start charging iPhone users more money lol

Or give users that don't use iphones a discount

It's the only way apple is going to back down

I hate how they're double dipping like that

like they explain they deserve 30% because they spend all that R&D money developing iOS and the dev tools and icloud and blabla

..... but you already pay for that when you buy an iphone lol

[deep sapphire]

The problem is iPhone users have been shown to spend significantly more money on apps than android users

If you Jack up the rate for iPhone users theyll just use Apple Music

[umbral moss]

Almost if that's the long game

[sly elk]

it makes sense lol

[umbral moss]

Put a punitive operations tax on everything except your own services which are conveniently cheaper by exactly the amount everyone else needs to charge to break even

[sly elk]

and somehow

the court doesn't see an antitrust issue with that

[umbral moss]

Surely this isn't illegal, oh wait, corporations write the rules

[graceful pine]

I wouldn't mind that

[sly elk]

man it makes the oldschool "microsoft is wrong bundling IE by default" thing sound like childs play

[graceful pine]

apple music pays a lot more than spotify

apple music is just better

[sly elk]

yea that's one of the funny things

I hate spotify

I've argued this before lol

[graceful pine]

apple music is 1 cent per stream

[umbral moss]

Then use apple music, instead of driving Spotify and Pandora into the ground with fees

[graceful pine]

which is 5 times spotify

[sly elk]

but maybe I read this wrong

[potent arrow]

nothing beats Spotify for features, so I'm stuck on it

[graceful pine]

no lossless

[sly elk]

spotify is saying that apple wants 27% of their users' subscription fees regardless of whether or not the subscription was started/paid on an iphone

[potent arrow]

idgaf about lossless I'm listening to that shit in my car

[sly elk]

which is new

[graceful pine]

anyhow force people to apple fine by me

I get more money from that

[sly elk]

iirc in the past, companies worked around this by just not offering subs from the iphone app at all

[umbral moss]

They're basically treating it like a territorial tax, you pay for being on iPhone even if you aren't doing business on the platform

[sly elk]

yep

[graceful pine]

as long as apple keeps their 1 cent per stream I'm happy

[cold yacht]

Apple Music is chill it’s just Spotify is cheaper for me cause student pricing

[graceful pine]

I just can't shit on spotify enough

tidal apple and amazon are all better

[sly elk]

loll

[graceful pine]

I use amazon currently but all 3 are so much better

[sly elk]

yea spotify is shit

they always were >>

[dire viper]

I would rather be burned alive than buy one of these

ima be real

these are not it

[sly elk]

the thing that made me laugh was one of their commercials on the free version straight up said "pay for spotify and well stop annoying you with these awful ads"

[dire viper]

I can make this case on my own

[sly elk]

i wonder if that's why spotify pays less lol

the other companies don't have free tiers

[graceful pine]

they are starting to add them I believe

but they are all subscription first

[sly elk]

the 'free' tier of amazon music (if you had amazon prime) used to be amazing as long as you didn't care about top 100 pop artists

but I think they pretty much killed that

[sly elk]

-clicks-

[graceful pine]

amazon music unlimited is what I got anyway

is great

[sly elk]

they're hella cute o_O

but I'd feel like a weirdo if I owned one of those lol

[earnest sedge]

Very kawaii

[sly elk]

still, cooler than a fractal north :3

https://tenor.com/view/anime-girl-evil-laugh-gif-3883292767961914250

[dire viper]

idk, I think they look bad

[graceful pine]

amazon music student price is the same

and you'll be paying the artists 3 to 4 times as much

[sly elk]

doesn't it require amazon prime though?

also if you have an iphone or a mac, apple music has a nice native app

[graceful pine]

no

[sly elk]

admittedly it's still a webapp ultimately lol

but they do a better job of hiding it

[graceful pine]

tidal also has good student pricing

[sly elk]

iirc amazon music is the most obvious electron webapp

i miss/loved how amazon used to sell cds and give you the mp3s for free

i think they still do it, but they don't carry as much anymore

[graceful pine]

amazon music is 6 a month student

same as spotify

tidal is 10

[cold yacht]

Tried Amazon music, don’t like the ui and stuff

[sly elk]

meh

-gets out a stem player-

who needs spotify when you have stem player

https://tenor.com/view/player-kanye-west-kanye-west-stem-gif-26883634

(I cant believe i remembered this existed)

[dire viper]

those are actually kinda neat

otherwise a gimmick

[graceful pine]

tidal is part owned by Jay Z anyway

an actual good rapper music service

Jack Dorsey is actually the biggest owner now

[sly elk]

oy 😄

maybe i should switch to tidal

I really am annoyed paying apple $38/mo

[graceful pine]

38 a month

what

[cold yacht]

He probably got the Apple one plan

Which bundles Apple Music, arcade, tv

[sly elk]

yep

apple music family + icloud family cost about as much, but the price hikes are annoying me

I have cheaper ways to do cloud storage

it's just that iphones are clunky af

if you don't use icloud then you can get the picture syncing to happen automatically, but managing iphone storage becomes manual

i would blame apple, but my android phone is only marginally better at it

like iirc onedrive on android can automatically cull your local photo library of synced stuff (like there's better integration)

but the cloud-only pictures don't show up for say, dropping into instagram

[cold yacht]

I thought about getting iCloud storage

Makes it easier for me to quickly pick up photos since I already have a MacBook

[outer sand]

no dropbox for apple?

I've been syncing work stuff to the HDD in my home just in case something happen since like 2012 probably

yeah dropbox, google drive, onedrive, plenty of selection

[outer sand]

this one I remember feels good to touch, idk what's the material of this

[cold yacht]

There’s drop box for Apple

It’s just iCloud is probably easier if you already decently in the Apple ecosystem

[jaunty nacelle]

that's not unreasonable

might be a subset of a batch that experiences the issue

[sly elk]

i say this as a corsair fanboy: I am not surprised... I think their fancy RGB heat spreaders cause the ram to run hotter than it should lol

but also, if you overclock the ram (and chances are that if you're buying corsair ram, you will), there's just a nonzero chance of failure lol

it's overclocked and you're running your system 'out of spec' when you do that. the XMP/EXPO ratings are a sorta pinky promise, at least they're pretty good at warranty coverage on failures

[cold pebble]

For people that own an Nvidia computer, I got the 3050ti laptop, theres a screen option named Optimus, apparently when thats off I get more FPS, should i just turn that permanently off? I always have my laptop charging

this is the option i think i should maybe enable?

[golden stream]

there're a few kinds of applehead in my place:

• the one who buy it and actual know how to use it
• the wannabe who just HuRdUr ApPlE iS bEtTeR then complained why their data won't sync

imo managing data on iphone isn't that easier than android that you can just plug USB and get stuff from it vs need cloud or the whole itune shenanigan

[sly elk]

lol

yea for me it's just laziness, I don't want to deal with my bro complaining about his iphone being full

also, if apple really wanted to make things easy, there would be an easy way to cull videos over a certain size/age off the phone/icloud account

but hey it's better to let it fill up and make it a pain in the butt to empty

that way you pay for more cloud storage 😄

[golden stream]

pay for services is way more profitable than pay for physical product

[sly elk]

yea it's a damn shame they prioritize profit over usability

[golden stream]

like ngl I'm thinking about like, many tries to get iphone for the sake of iphone then pay a lot for icluoud subscriptions and stuff

[paper tusk]

if your laptop is plugged in always then yeah no need for minmaxing heat/power usage

[golden stream]

a bit depend on ur workload
like I have my lappy plugged, but I don't want noise and the workload is light (office stuff) -> igpu is fine, else dgpu

[cold pebble]

Yeah it’s plugged in 24/7

[cold pebble]

There’s another option that lets me have a quiet mode, I just do that when I’m going afk

[paper tusk]

I have it the same way since I idle a lot so no need to have the fan throttling up (which on my lenovo, is often)

I just let windows manage things on performance power setting

[golden stream]

my lappy is only throttling in linux (dualboot btw) but only when installing/updating gpu drivers

gotta sudo update every morning

Yeah that's the only really stupid change I really hate about W11 is burying that in the more options menu. Especially when Ctrl-V doesn't always work so you have to fish it out of that menu manually. As with everything Windows, I think there is a way you can eliminate the more options menu tho with registry hacks

sometimes the motherboard has to have a configuration option or two changed to make the ssd show up

sometimes windows is just dumb and does that when it doesn't recognize a drive's partition table

[cold yacht]

Hmmm I half way fixed my film camera

It now shutters every other click

[inland mauve]

how do I see a list of everyone I'm following on Twitter?

I've barely used this site since 2011

[cold yacht]

You click on your follower and following number in your profile

[modern iris]

I had to use a film camera in college. Vivitar V3800N. Shutter kicked like a mule.

Loading a film reel to develop is scary as hell.

[inland mauve]

thank you, I don't remember most of the people I follow LMAO

looks like a lot of people from EVE Online

[bitter girder]

It’s a partitioning problem it happened when I had Linux and a hackintosh installation

[inland mauve]

who all haven't posted in at least 10 years

I had an EVE phase around 2010 but I don't remember using Twitter at the time

I guess that my corpmates and I must've created accounts and mutually followed each other? it's so long ago though

this is

mildly annoying

[primal prairie]

any suggestions as to what i should upgrade to? 🥺

[void dove]

yea, anything made in the last couple years

will be an upgrade

depends on your budget, or what you want, high-end, mid or low-end.

i could suggest a half-dozen replacements off the of my head, from <200$ to $500+

[primal prairie]

low mid-end 🤭

anything that won't utterly bottleneck my 3060 like my current cpu does

[void dove]

so basically anything 😛

[primal prairie]

yup

[void dove]

well remember, youll also have to replace the motherboard, and ram

[primal prairie]

wait what

i thought you only had to do that if you were swapping from intel to ryzen

[void dove]

hell no

sockets change every couple years

[sly walrus]

yeah that’s standard for cpus

[void dove]

no modern CPUs will fit in that old motherboard

[primal prairie]

[void dove]

no way no how

[primal prairie]

it's so fucking over

i have a ga z97x gaming 7 😭 it's over for me

[sly walrus]

the mobo market isn’t as violent as the cpu market

but yeah

also amd doesn’t change their socket as often

[void dove]

that socket would at best, get you upt to a 6000 series intel

[sly walrus]

but they still change it

[void dove]

which is from 2016

[primal prairie]

know what? that's good enough

[void dove]

intel changes sockets usually every 2 generations

[primal prairie]

it is what it is

going from 2013 to 2016 is good enough

[sly walrus]

get a new case while you’re at it

[void dove]

sure, if you can find one

[primal prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/death-note-misora-naomi-misora-naomi-death-stare-gif-7312237509524715724

[void dove]

AND assuming the motherboard supports it

check the motherboard manual

and make sure its bios is updated before swapping

[sly walrus]

yeah, cpus aren’t like graphics cards

[void dove]

just because it fits, doesn't mean it works

[sly walrus]

old models just disappear

[void dove]

the motherboard may not be built to handle newer cpus

[graceful pine]

A new motherboard would be good assurance for the future

[primal prairie]

Supports 4th and 5th Generation Intel® Core™ processors

https://tenor.com/view/death-note-misora-naomi-misora-naomi-death-stare-gif-7312237509524715724

[void dove]

yep

so best youll get is 1 generation upgrade

not much

[sly walrus]

you’re gonna want to be future proofing, not playing catch-up

[primal prairie]

i do have a motherboard from the time i tried to put in a ryzen cpu but it was broken while i was moving

😭

[void dove]

better off saving the money and doing a proper upgrade

[primal prairie]

the cpu was broken, the motherboard is fine ftr

[void dove]

then what is is, and do you have ram for it

just get a zen cpu and use it

[primal prairie]

b550 a pro, and yup i got two sticks of 8 gb for it too

[primal prairie]

whuzzat

[void dove]

so its a AM4

easy

Ryzen

Zen

same thing

[sly walrus]

while we’re on the subject

[void dove]

so again, check the motherboard manual

the manufacturers website

[sly walrus]

is it worth upgrading from a ryzen 7 5800x

[void dove]

and you can easily get a zen3 for it

[sly walrus]

or is it still good

[void dove]

"budget" gaming would be getting a 5600

or a 5600x if you can

you can go even lower
