[muted compass]

It is a luxury ball

[muted compass]

Finally upgraded my weird frankenstein of a pc 😭😭😭

[compact pine]

what in tarnation old mobo was that

[muted compass]

it was from an old hand me down of a pc that i gutted lol

that tiny extension to the right are the usb and audio ports

[compact pine]

whadda slap in thre? good that u were to keep the ram

[muted compass]

currently the one i needed the most to upgrade i came from a i5 8400 to a R7 5800XT and the performance jump already was drastic

since it was also pretty toasty with the stock i just went and got an aio too for the upgrade

[compact pine]

https://giphy.com/gifs/yJFeycRK2DB4c

[muted compass]

i currently have a 3050 but i do plan on upgrading to a 5060 or a 9060 XT

[compact pine]

splurg a lil more get the 9070

[muted compass]

lol maybe but the 9070 here is like 900 😭

[compact pine]

sure is

[muted compass]

a 9060XT at least is like 690

and a 5060 is like 520

though 8gb TT

[compact pine]

whats an extra $200 tho in the long run eh

been really enjoying mine

[muted compass]

mmmm that is true but it's just out of my budget currently lmao

[compact pine]

[muted compass]

i did a bit of benchmarking and reinstaleld cyberpunk and im... shocked

really surprised with how much my old cpu used to really hold my 3050 back and how much fps i was kinda missing out TT

[compact pine]

at leasst you get 60 now

[muted compass]

60fps on ultra too im kinda shocked lmao

[hot shadow]

ya cause its like trying to pass math equations to an old dementia man

cant do it lul

[muted compass]

Yup even Minecraft won't run properly 😭😭😭

Lmao

It actually began showing its age too cuz for some reason I couldnt stream my games to friends without my games taking a hit in fps, even overwatch a game i had 200fps suddenly went down to 100fps on like low-medium settings

[hot shadow]

we gotta find you a gamer bf to spend money on you

[cerulean talon]

Rab out here spitting truth

[daring elk]

is it the 3050 6gb or the 8gb version

oh 8gb nvm

[muted compass]

8gb

[daring elk]

i saw the bench

[muted compass]

LMAO

[daring elk]

at least you got at least 8gb vram

my 4050 got 6gb

jk i got a pc

laptops there to just use when not around

[muted compass]

Yeesh.... 6gb though sounds rough regardless

[daring elk]

i also got a 3050 laptop with 4gb vram

[muted compass]

🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

[daring elk]

but i use it as a linux machine

it was free so

i got a 9060xt which runs games fairly fine

16gb vram

i could splurge for a 9070xt but i dont got one thats relatively msrp

[muted compass]

Would you recommend the 9060xt? I plan on either getting that or a 5060

[daring elk]

5060 is a bit powerful ngl

if you can find it relatively at an ok price

9060xt can run games fairly well even i could play mh wilds at around 60 fps

above

tho i got a 9600 as a cpu

so im fairly balanced in most fronts

what games do you plan on playing

[muted compass]

8gb is still kinda crazy though i mean I dont mind cuz 8gb is enough for me cuz i play at 1080p but still is insane 😭😭😭

[daring elk]

if its just mine craft or any other older triple aaa with the expectation to run games at 1080p i think the 9060xt is good enough

modern titles could run it well but its noit the end all be all 1440p gpu

[muted compass]

Uhhhhh well for starters mainly indie games, the occassional shooters like overwatch, valorant, rivals, deadlock and then AAA games like Tekken, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, and maybe Wilds too one day

[muted compass]

And thats valid im pretty much a 1080p gamer myself i dont think 1440p and 4k is really all that crazy when i tried it

[compact pine]

well if ya do at least get a 16bg card, 8gb doesnt cut it anymore.

[daring elk]

wilds got an update on optimization so you can run it on your end

[muted compass]

Oh and baldurs gate 3 and maybe the new RE9

[muted compass]

Oof thats genuinely rough maybe 9060 is the way...

[daring elk]

re9, ehhh given the new enigma drm i dont think its gonna do well initially im assuming

not the fault of the hardware

just bad design

[muted compass]

I hope it would re8 ran fine....ish but re9 i just hope it would 😭🙏

[compact pine]

cant even believe the recommended specs on steam anymore

[muted compass]

Isnt 32gb of ram the norm too now?

[compact pine]

errr yea

[cerulean talon]

Nomnomnomnom ram

[muted compass]

Ugh i shouldve really invested more ram when i got my sticks for SIXTY cad 😭😭😭

[cerulean talon]

It doesn’t help that windows chews through ram like mad

[daring elk]

nah you should have bought ram before december of 2025 like its expected

i mean its the same as housing

should have bought a house in 2007

[muted compass]

Shouldve invested in bitcoin at the age of 1

Put in my entire college fund and life savings

[daring elk]

yeah skill issue

on your part

[cerulean talon]

Mmmmm, crypto meme

[modern iris]

Hi there

Currently running a memtest86+ but have been receiving bsod, can anyone help 🙂

[daring elk]

can you post your error code

the bsod should have one to tell which part or somethign failed

[modern iris]

Here are the codes from blue screen viewer

I’ve reseated ram, cleaned connectors, reformatted pc, updated drivers

I did spill apple juice on my ram slots a couple years ago and bought new ram

But cleaned it best I could

[cerulean talon]

Mmmm, kernel exception

[compact pine]

you spilt...... apple juice in a pc case

psu?

[modern iris]

Yes 🙂

Nah

Dropped down the top through the little dust filter

Dropped down a bit of the mobo and ram, but didn’t hit anything important I thought

Loool

I cleaned with rubbing alcohol and tooth brush

[daring elk]

wait why tooth brush

isnt that causing more friction

a non fiber cloth would do the trick

[modern iris]

Idk it’s best way to get it off

Or a qtip

[compact pine]

iso

[modern iris]

Either way I’m thinking maybe my ram slots are cooked idk?

I’ll go a week with no blue screen but 4 in an hour

At random, no cause. I had it reset last night every 40 minutes or so to a new bsod while I was afk

[daring elk]

well you got a ram conflict on that error

[modern iris]

Hmmm

[daring elk]

or a bad file in the os storage

either try running sfc on windows to see any bad sectors

[modern iris]

I recently reformatted and updated drivers to test for that issue

[daring elk]

then its probably ram

[modern iris]

I didwindows memory test came back no errors

Ran it over night

So doing the memtest86

[daring elk]

you get an error checking the ram

right

[modern iris]

No

Don’t have any yet

The old ram sticks I changed out, they’re dusty af now sitting in storage

But you can see where the apple juice hit

[cerulean talon]

If your slots are cooked, they’ll show as memtest errors

[modern iris]

Interesting, I checked event viewer after it was done

It said there were no errors

[daring elk]

and you did say you updated the drivers and software

[modern iris]

Yes after reformatting ox

Pc

[cerulean talon]

Tbh, if memtest is clean, run a burnin

[daring elk]

yeah

[modern iris]

Wiped everything and even put windows on my better drive

[daring elk]

burnin

[modern iris]

wtf is a burnin

[daring elk]

burnintest

[modern iris]

Never heard of it

[daring elk]

passmark

stress test

[modern iris]

Oh stress test

That I’ve heard of

[daring elk]

if they got an error off being put under load

[modern iris]

I’ll do a pass on memtest86

Windows memory diagnostic didn’t show errors

I just now started running memtest

Though most people recommend doing like 4 passes I guess

[daring elk]

also make sure next time you dont put any drink on your desk that is below the pc

[modern iris]

I know

It was on my table and I bumped it smoking weed

[daring elk]

or put the pc on your desk

[modern iris]

And I cried

[daring elk]

and the drink below

have like a container cause i dont trust cups

got a phobia spilling my coffe to my pc

[modern iris]

Yeppppp

I did it

With the worst substance

Apple juice

Last night it was giving me a bsod every 30 mins whenever my pc reset, but I used it this morning for a couple hours so I don’t get it

I also disabled xmp temporarily

[cerulean talon]

Apple juice isn’t too bad

[muted compass]

after doing some research i may stick with nvidia a bit more with a 5060 ti 16gb

[modern iris]

Anyone got a cheap am4 motherboard for sale rofl

[cerulean talon]

I’ve got a half dead keyboard my friend dropped a spiced rum and Dr Pepper in

[modern iris]

I can’t afford a $100 replacement gg

[daring elk]

i mean its a good gpu just make sure you find one relatively cheap

[cerulean talon]

I gotta see if it’s even salvageable still

[modern iris]

Also a usb c device broke off in the back of my mobo , whenever I take it out, the slot like shorts and keeps popping up “usb device error” or some shit , so I have to keep something plugged into it

[daring elk]

just replace the pcb

it aint that expensive to find

[cerulean talon]

Drop stopped selling the ones I like

[daring elk]

oof

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, it’s a ctrl v2

I’ve got 3 more of them, so hasn’t been a huge rush

Might do a deionized water bath and some iso

[daring elk]

i think i could find a pcb with this build

[muted compass]

oh for sure i just have to snipe one whenever i have the chance

[daring elk]

if it doesnt work

ofc

[cerulean talon]

I could send one off for production and I’ve got a v1 too xD

[modern iris]

Ok so what do y’all recommend I do

[cerulean talon]

But it’s more so im lazy and its become the backup-backup keyboard

[modern iris]

Should I give my ram slots one least good cleaning before going in debt ? Try the stress test ?

[cerulean talon]

Let memtest go for an hour, if it passes, start doing stress tests

You need to know what’s dead

[modern iris]

Yes I do

[daring elk]

yeah

[modern iris]

Which do you recommend using for stress test

[daring elk]

burnin

passmark

[modern iris]

Kk

[daring elk]

i got a rk keyboard that i just added some nice pe foam and rubber mats to make it sound thoccy

oh and holy pandas

[cerulean talon]

I use occt

[modern iris]

Here’s my keyboard 🙂

[cerulean talon]

More configurable and I can drive into individual broken subsystems

[modern iris]

Good ol keychron

[daring elk]

hmm that could too

[daring elk]

is that a bong?

[modern iris]

A smoke pipe

lol

[daring elk]

hmm

[cerulean talon]

Realistically I just need to find a new tkl I like and buy 6 of them

[daring elk]

a rip

[modern iris]

I’ll be taking a rip for you

[daring elk]

what brand tho

[cerulean talon]

Dunno, I’ll try them until I find one I like

Keyboards and mice are how I do the things that make my paychecks xD

Which is why I’ve got a bunch of spare mice

[daring elk]

aula be having some populars options if you want to cheap out, can mod the heck out of it

[cerulean talon]

Nah, I don’t bother to cheap out

[daring elk]

okay

maybe get something richer

like uhm

[cerulean talon]

I’m well into my career as a senior engineer xD

[daring elk]

too broke to get something nice for me

well peripheral side

i just put my things on the pc

[cerulean talon]

I’ll chase Sarah down and find out what she suggests

She’s my keeb guru

Part of my problem is I’m low on switches again, so I need to decide if I want to change any of those

[daring elk]

why not the evo80

my brother has those evo keyboards that sounded preem

[cerulean talon]

Hadn’t seen it, might order one to try

[daring elk]

aluminum case

creamy keys

[cerulean talon]

@potent arrow how we feel about evos?

Tbh, I’d prefer a lead case

[daring elk]

they cost around 600 dollars

not that i would get one

[cerulean talon]

Price isn’t a problem

[daring elk]

yeah you could

but for me

too rich for my blood

[compact pine]

theres no reason for a keyboard to cost 600$

[daring elk]

wait

mb

wrong currencty

200 dollars

[cerulean talon]

150-160 usd

Yeah

[daring elk]

it was listed as mexican pesos

not philippine

bruh

[modern iris]

Thoughts

[daring elk]

😭

[daring elk]

yeah 150 160

[cerulean talon]

Go get occt, and smack it around some more

[daring elk]

mexican pesos keeps being the default currency for me wtf

i aint mexican

[cerulean talon]

Bad ip geoloc probally

Mine usually thinks I live in stinky Seattle

[daring elk]

i got confused as to why its 600 dollars unless you put something so expensive

thats like building your own type shit

[cerulean talon]

Yeh, and I’ve done that, I just don’t have the patience at the moment and with swappable keys, Eeeeh

It’s a hard justification

[daring elk]

true

[cerulean talon]

I need to see what keys I’ve got, I think they’re hps

I’ll never forgive Microsoft for killing my favourite keyboard though, rip ms ergo

[modern iris]

So where would the errors show if any on memtest

[cerulean talon]

It would fail, not pass

Memtest is pass or fail on 1 error

[modern iris]

Ah so it’s ok?

Should I run for a second pass

[cerulean talon]

Get occt, punch it properly

Memtest these days is only really good at picking up chip flaws imo

[potent arrow]

meh

[modern iris]

I’ve done memtest86+

[potent arrow]

For the price I can get better boutique keebs

[cerulean talon]

Find me a tkl I’ll love, I’ll put an extra glowy rock in the bag for you

[modern iris]

And windows memory diagnostic

Both showed no errors

[cerulean talon]

So go try occt and have it punch your cpu and ram

[modern iris]

Yes ok

[cerulean talon]

I’m not sure how many times I have to say “try something else”

[daring elk]

i remember getting hyped on ducky keebs

[modern iris]

No you’re fine

It just passed so I wasn’t sure if I should run it multiple times

[cerulean talon]

Occt picked out errors that memtest never does on my servers xD

[modern iris]

Siiiick so you have a link v

??

[potent arrow]

big mits?

[cerulean talon]

But that’s because I had a flapping memory channel

[cerulean talon]

Drop stopped making the ctrl v2

[muted compass]

guys... stupid question but my psu is a 80 gold 650W seasonic focus but this gpu im looking at does not have a 12 pin connector.... am i cooked

[cerulean talon]

They’ve got a new one I haven’t checked, I use a pretty standard til though despite my hands

[modern iris]

https://www.ocbase.com/

this ?

[potent arrow]

Tbh smole just ge a wooting

[cerulean talon]

Above the x

[potent arrow]

smole

im

So distracted

[cerulean talon]

Haha

[potent arrow]

look into

wooting

[cerulean talon]

Mkies

[daring elk]

wooting 60he

80 he

[cerulean talon]

Yarp

[potent arrow]

TenZ for CC

[daring elk]

hm

[potent arrow]

80HE

[daring elk]

i thinki remember my brother has those

[potent arrow]

Its really good

[daring elk]

wooting keyboards cause he plays so much valorant

[modern iris]

@cerulean talon was that correct site ,

[daring elk]

yeah

[cerulean talon]

Ye

[potent arrow]

you can change the actuation point and shit

its nice

[daring elk]

analog switches

same thing i think with huntsman

razer

but wooting thought of that first

[muted compass]

oh im like wondering if i need a new psu cuz i dont have a 12 pin cable for the gpu 😭

[cerulean talon]

Hrm, I wonder if I’d like the 2x2 over the 2x3

[potent arrow]

Magnetic Hall effect board

[cerulean talon]

They make adapters from 2/3 pcie to 12 pin

[muted compass]

oh

ohhhhhh

[daring elk]

when i played one of them its like theres an echo each key stroke

[cerulean talon]

Most of the gpus include them still, 250w id consider okay on adapter

[daring elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb0GxgNho3c

[cerulean talon]

Wouldn’t put mine on adapter, but I chew power like candy xD

[muted compass]

i love my hall effect keyboard its super fun to play with and i dont have to press down that deep when typing :DD

[modern iris]

how should i set this up

[daring elk]

nothing beats the old 80s keyboard my mom had

[cerulean talon]

Defaults are generally fine

[muted compass]

okay thats a relief... i think i should have more leeway with a 650W psu

[cerulean talon]

I usually do cpu/ram, then each of the 3ds

[modern iris]

up up and away

[cerulean talon]

You’ll be marginal

[compact pine]

hello 2002

[cerulean talon]

Max non peak draw will be something like 450-500 depending on your cpu

[potent arrow]

CC do you have any logitech connections

: P

[daring elk]

i got this keyboard from 2008 to 2013 when my brother bought the black widow

[cerulean talon]

For what?

[potent arrow]

trying to find the new mouse lol

[daring elk]

smaller?

[cerulean talon]

Not on that side, no

[potent arrow]

Bestbuy has cancelled my order twice now

[cerulean talon]

Mice need to be larger, and heavier

[potent arrow]

going to rip someones head off

Not for me, I have small hands

[daring elk]

ask the gen z that

[cerulean talon]

Do I need to order one for you?

[potent arrow]

https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/logitech-pro-x2-superstrike-44000-dpi-wireless-optical-gaming-mouse-white/19694489

I dont get why they keep canceling it

[cerulean talon]

Gen Z can bite me, just have strong wrists

[potent arrow]

Its a haptic mouse CC with hall effect switches

[daring elk]

i just use my mouse with a ball in it just as God intended

[muted compass]

i like both heavy and light depending on the tasks honestly lmao even on shooters i use the naga at times 💀

[hot shadow]

fuck you guys and your 10 pound mice

xd

[daring elk]

jk i broke my mouse now and looking to buy another

[potent arrow]

how far do you think you can throw my 30g mouse

[cerulean talon]

The universe made me big, tiny mice are death

[cerulean talon]

I bet I could get it across your room with a flick

[potent arrow]

I mean yeah

it has glass skates

[daring elk]

this is the mouse im buying now

[potent arrow]

LMAO

[daring elk]

gotta wait for shipping

[potent arrow]

I jsut threw one of these out

my bf broke it in a year

[cerulean talon]

I should order a few more of the g502s if I can find them

[potent arrow]

replaced it with the corsair one : P

[hot shadow]

i love 30g mice

[daring elk]

surely i can hot swap them keys

[potent arrow]

Corsair scimitar wireless

[hot shadow]

up to like 50g

[cerulean talon]

I like the kd/a version

[muted compass]

oh the pro is really good i definitely wish i got that one instead of the v2

[potent arrow]

Thats the reason why it broke man, the hotswap panel stopped working

thanks razer

[cerulean talon]

See, the thing is all peripherals are too small and light

[daring elk]

bruh

[potent arrow]

Yeah CC go to logitech and fuck them up for me

YOU FUCKS

[daring elk]

i quit playing league so its ff14 now

[muted compass]

oh ewwwww thats fucked

[daring elk]

good bye g304

[modern iris]

for amd cpu on stress test, are there any temps i SHOULD be worried about

[lost python]

which cpu you got

[daring elk]

3800x

[hot shadow]

high load gaming should not be over 93C

on any amd

any

[potent arrow]

yummi

[daring elk]

my laptop on 96c

[hot shadow]

it doesnt matter what people tell you about them handling high temps

welp

[modern iris]

just checking, 70 seemed high but im high

[hot shadow]

laptop is diff but that is really hot yo

[daring elk]

its normal

on stress

[hot shadow]

70 C is GOOD

[muted compass]

pretty normal

[hot shadow]

dont worry about 70 at all

[daring elk]

bruh is baked af

[hot shadow]

you can have high load gaming amd cpu at 88C

[daring elk]

he ripped

[daring elk]

i could get them ptms and a llano v12

[muted compass]

i have the 7 5800XT and it goes to like 90c when i used the stock cooler now its like 60c-70c depending on the game i put on

[daring elk]

but eh

[modern iris]

the only thing keeping me sane

[daring elk]

stock cooler is shit

[muted compass]

really is

[daring elk]

should throw that away the moment you got one

[muted compass]

i didnt think it would be that bad

it was that bad

the thermal paste was a mess too

[daring elk]

ya got aio or air tower

[modern iris]

its insane tbh

[muted compass]

aio

[modern iris]

i feel like with the AMOUNT of BSOD i get... doing 2 memory tests and a stress test so far no crashes

[daring elk]

i got a aio but i use honeywell ptms as a thermal pad

[cerulean talon]

Looks like we might have some, ordered a pair

[hot shadow]

anyway laptop typically run too hot normally and that's why they die in like 3 years sometimes

[daring elk]

gojo ahh back shot ahh

[potent arrow]

D: WHERE

Ill go bug you in dms

[cerulean talon]

Us best buy xD

[daring elk]

is that a A mobo on amd?

or a b series mobo

[muted compass]

yeah the pro A

[daring elk]

hmm i got a b series

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjeZ-oaROQM also wtf

2 5090s??

128 gigs of ram?

[hot shadow]

wowie

[daring elk]

😭

[hot shadow]

big cash

[daring elk]

bruh

this is the greed they talk about in the bible

[muted compass]

looking at this cheesegrater of a case pmo

[hot shadow]

i love it when youtubers do something that make poor college students cry

[daring elk]

64 cores and 128 threads

jesus christ

[muted compass]

okay but in what world does a person need 2 5090s...

in one build

[daring elk]

idk man, some people drown while others die in thirst

im the latter

[daring elk]

😭

bruh why you this

i could literally have 32gbs

[potent arrow]

I need it for work lol

[daring elk]

but no

said God

ram price shoot up

[cerulean talon]

Why are you all linking less than 512gb?

[daring elk]

[cerulean talon]

Smh, it’s like y’all don’t have terabytes of ram around

[daring elk]

ill literally break into your home

jk

or am i

or am i not

[muted compass]

terabytes? isnt petabytes the new norm now? /s

[cerulean talon]

I’ve got a petabyte and a half of hard drives

I’m finally to a half pb of online nvme storage

[daring elk]

proceeds to play minecraft and league of legends

jk i know optimum is good on fps games

but still

[muted compass]

woah woah woah youre forgetting one more game...

sims 4

[cerulean talon]

Im the technology monster, its me xD

[potent arrow]

OSRS

[daring elk]

can you run stellaris endgame no cap on 60 fps minimum

[muted compass]

i watched him also build like a racing sim too 💀

[daring elk]

all that power

[daring elk]

nothing crazyt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSFbokJTP1k

this guy on the other hand

[muted compass]

the way his entire youtube is just for fun because it isnt even his work......

[cerulean talon]

My desktop has 96 cores xD

[muted compass]

cuz in what world do you still need a workstation with dual 5090s for editing....

[daring elk]

yall love making fun for a broke ahh college student

wait i aint broke

but still

[muted compass]

i am

[cerulean talon]

I’m 36 xD

[muted compass]

after upgrading mine i am

[hot shadow]

yea when you hit 30 you will do the same dw

[potent arrow]

I never said im rich

[daring elk]

well given the market now,

i could steal that pc

and sell it for a million

[potent arrow]

My PC is like a fraction of the cost of my plastic xD

[hot shadow]

day 450953 i cannot find a supplier with a perfect slab of jade to throw in front of my power shroud

[daring elk]

thankfully i got my shit done next month so i will get a job ( job market is shit)

[hot shadow]

smh maybe i just give up

[cerulean talon]

That’s the old one tho

I need to get one w/ the shiny new proc and the newer gpus

[potent arrow]

gimme so I can run this stupid rockewell emulation on it

[cerulean talon]

I’m hauling you an epyc

[daring elk]

i dont think logically for the average consumer, you need a stupid ass threadripper cpu

[cerulean talon]

You’ll be fine

[potent arrow]

I need to figure out a case for it xD

[daring elk]

64 cores and 128 threads for gaming

[cerulean talon]

I work in cryptocurrency xD. I can use thousands of cores at once

[daring elk]

yeah figured

maybe i should do crypto

ya know

[potent arrow]

what size is the mobo cc

[daring elk]

i got 2 laptops on me

[hot shadow]

if youve never been in crypto before the answer we have for you is no, you shouldn't.

[cerulean talon]

Deep itx

[hot shadow]

you needed to have been earlier than this, wayyyyyy earlier

[potent arrow]

Oh cc did you see, I resurrected the thinkpad

[daring elk]

ahh shucks should have entered the market back when i was 13 years old

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, no, I never suggest crypto to anyone, because it’s literal gambling

[hot shadow]

because you're gonna get used otherwise

[wraith agate]

crypto has diminishing returns, so I don't think you should get into it, not with laptops

[hot shadow]

it's not about the market itself too it's also just being in that social space

[cerulean talon]

Yeh!

[daring elk]

well hopefully med school is gonna paay itself

right

[hot shadow]

hopefully your parents can pay for some of it, you mean

no shame in that

[daring elk]

i got no loans

[potent arrow]

looks like I have to find a NR200p if its deep itx

[daring elk]

not like in america anyway

[cerulean talon]

Aha! Found the last screenshot I took xD

[daring elk]

damn

[potent arrow]

9995 nom nom

[daring elk]

debian

[cerulean talon]

9995 is looooove

[wraith agate]

I wish we could go back to ascii art era

[cerulean talon]

The rtx 6k is pretty hot too

96gb of vram is insane for some of the stuff I work on

[muted compass]

watching a comparison video of the 5060 ti and 9060 XT and i could undervolt the 5060ti and still get pretty good value in 1080p

[potent arrow]

m o a r

[cerulean talon]

If I need more, I go hit up my 8x32 rig, nvlink is wild

[hot shadow]

i saw somebody overclock their media pc lil minipc thing to play wukong and i was like.... but why

[potent arrow]

I guess I should start budgeting for parts for a new build XD

Reuse the gpu but Ill probaly need a better PSU

[hot shadow]

no, just pimp your boytoy out and sell them to make money

$$$$$$$$$ ez

[cerulean talon]

We might need to try to find the adapter for the psu boot

I dunno where mine are xD

Or just slap a 24pin shorter on it

[modern iris]

@cerulean talon if stress test doesnt BSOD my pc what do

[cerulean talon]

I need to see if I have a nicer processor than what’s in them right now

[muted compass]

okay my mind is spinning with gpu and money i need to like take it easy 💀

[cerulean talon]

Did you do the gpu ones yet?

[modern iris]

not yet, its not done, just checking which ones next is hould do

[hot shadow]

if you form a blood contract with me ill buy you a gpu, sweetcheeks

jk

[cerulean talon]

I think there’s a spare 7xx2 somewhere if my roomie didn’t steal it

[modern iris]

ill form a blodo contract with you for a new mobo

[cerulean talon]

Though 7xx3s should be pretty reasonable atm

[hot shadow]

damn what happened to your mobo

[cerulean talon]

We’re trying to figure out if they killed it or not

[modern iris]

i spilled apple juice on it and i think it may be the cause of my BSOD

[potent arrow]

._.

[modern iris]

but its so weird when the BSOD happen

[muted compass]

selling my kidney, arm, and a leg for a good gpu and ram rn /j

[modern iris]

unfortunately i have to replace it with a new am4 mobo because i cant upgrade or i have to buy ddr5 ram and new cpu

[cerulean talon]

I think I’ve got a tray of ddr4 around still

Need to see, my roomie said they found a 128ddr5 kit in the garage

[modern iris]

i thought the ram i replaced my old ram with was decent but

ripjaws 32gb

[muted compass]

i love my ripjaws was definitely worth the price i bought then

[modern iris]

i got them before the ram price hike

[muted compass]

oh same i got them yeaaarrrssss before the hike

the kit i had was 60cad

now its like 170 lmao

okay 5060 ti might be ambitious and a 9060 is the way to go lmfao

[modern iris]

same lOL

[muted compass]

unless i go for the 8gb 5060 ti which is like whack

[modern iris]

i got a 6700xt gpu for $200

before everything wentup

[compact pine]

New MOBO am4 can't be that bad price wise??

[modern iris]

like $100

but as a brokie unemployed $100 is like $10,0000

[muted compass]

it wasnt its the tax that gets you on my end though

new mobo and cpu basically costed me 500 bucks lmao from taxes added to it

[modern iris]

jesus

[muted compass]

yup

[compact pine]

and thats CAD right?

[muted compass]

yeah

13% sales tax

[potent arrow]

my gpu was like 2800$ cad or something on FB marketplace

shiz fucked here

[muted compass]

so if like an 5060 ti an 860cad card would actually be 971cad

i cough up an extra 100 bucks TT

[cerulean talon]

I remember that insanity ;.;

[muted compass]

what the helly

[dire viper]

I’m more concerned about how this website looks like it’s from 2005

The logo is crazy

[muted compass]

oh trust me its security is non-existant there was a skimmer on it during like december too

im just viewing their prices and would buy them in person lmfao

[compact pine]

that why i suggested just going up to the 9070xt. i paid jsut under 1k on sale for in at CAD computers

whats an extra $150 in the long run

[muted compass]

yeah thats a fair point TT

[modern iris]

@cerulean talon

no issue on cpuram

man 1 hour is such a long run cycle

[compact pine]

i was a diffenrent story i now someone who works there and got him to hold things for me, i upgraded my wifes whoel pc. new pcu mobo, aio and ram that shit was hmmm 1300$ cad i think

[cerulean talon]

Time to start the 3d/gpus

[modern iris]

@cerulean talon

ye

wondering if turning xmp fixed the problem

turning off*

or well turtning it to auto

[cerulean talon]

Could be, some systems, including an early ddr5 intel one I had, really do not like some memory settings

[modern iris]

really hate the speed its at lol

[modern iris]

@cerulean talon didn't get any errors during strees test or memory test, but JUSt got a blue screen

[real edge]

isnt ntoskrnl related to drivers

[cerulean talon]

Ntoskrnl is massive, anything from drivers to kernel level anticheat, usb devices going in/out

[cerulean talon]

Love windows so much, you could do some general sfc checks and the liked but iirc you reinstalled recently

[modern iris]

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION ntoskrnl.exe

was afk got another one

didnt fix anything

starting from midnight i have gotten 5 bsod

[real edge]

thats so odd

[modern iris]

I do have a custom install of windows 11 to remove bloatware

but i was getting bsod before i ever even reformatted into this so

keep in midn the BSOD happening at midnight and early into the morning are hapepning completely on fresh restarts, since it BSOD -> restarts -> bsod -> restarts

I’m stumped

[muted compass]

Real

Im stumped with the gpu conundrum i have lowkey i dont game in 1440p or 4k so do i really need the 16gb of vram 🤔🤔🤔

[modern iris]

Yes

Because you don’t need it now, you will

[cerulean talon]

Games will not consume less vram into the future

[modern iris]

What happened to programmers focusing on optimization

[cerulean talon]

I still do

But I also don’t vibecode

[modern iris]

Indie programmers do, but triple A

I vibe code for memes

Though I did make some useful apps i use personally

[cerulean talon]

I also believe that each and every cycle and byte is sacred

[modern iris]

So what do I do now @cerulean talon

Feel like I’ve done everything I can do

But the blue screen gods favor me so it’s all i see

[muted compass]

Yeah... i know... I'm just coping 😭😭😭

[muted compass]

Speaking of optimization apparently they updated the batman recommended specs... but still kinda crazy for a lego game

[cerulean talon]

Reseat everything, other than that, it’s probally time to start shopping for a new mobo

[muted compass]

Thing is i dont have that crazy of games to warrant 16gb except for like maybe re9 and soon wilds

[compact pine]

yes u do

[modern iris]

Yeah sadly, maybe I can find one on eBay or something. Unless you live in the USA and have one for sale

[muted compass]

Yeahhh 😔😔😔

[cerulean talon]

I think the only spares I’ve got at the moment are am5 unfortunately

[modern iris]

oh shit @cerulean talon

these are new while i was afk XD

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 00000000`00000000

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 00000201`0140f239

[cerulean talon]

Dunno, only thing I could see would be like a bad disk or bad mobo at this point

[modern iris]

i would think so

so odd

ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY ffffb581`0c0ca800 rofl this is new

[muted compass]

I've decided... I'm going for the 5060 ti ||8gb model||
I've did my comparisons and most of the time the games that they showcase are the games I don't play.

The 9060 XT 16gb is also slighly more expensive in my end too and quite frankly... the thing that also makes me consider sticking to nvidia is the software...

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/CjVJ7w

[modern iris]

nice!

@muted compass about to sell my ram if its good and just buy a console XD

[muted compass]

genuinely lmfao

[modern iris]

this bsod is the death of me

i quit i guve up

[hot shadow]

@cerulean talon did you need a rock tumbler cause somebody in another discord is giving away hers only if it goes to a "loving home" aka rock nerd

unsure how big it is, or reviews on it

hmmm 3 pound load it says so not too huge

[cerulean talon]

Nah, I’m less about tumbled stuff

[hot shadow]

o word

id get one but idk what to tumble lmao

all the rocks in my area are worthless hahahahhaa

[cerulean talon]

That’s my problem, I’ve got a lot of granite?

Honestly, my mood is hard towards all the man-made stuff xD

[modern iris]

Time to go home and see if cleaning the ram slots potentially fixed it

[severe flax]

Idk if this is real but I found it funny

[severe flax]

Can someone explain to me how the fuck does this weird ass funding for AI works?
From what I understand, Nvidia is giving money to OpenAI, and OpenAI is giving money to Nvidia to buy GPUs...and then Nvidia uses those profits to give more money to OpenAI?

Isnt this just a circle?

[solemn geyser]

Hi, tech channel. I'm microphone shopping today. What's a good all-around beginner model that doesn't sound like shit?

[hot shadow]

budget?

[solemn geyser]

$100-$150, I can go $200 though.

it needs to be USB and it also needs to have a 3.5mm headphone jack.

[hot shadow]

do you do anything music related or do you just want usb and jack

since some of them have a special hookup

[solemn geyser]

Just for streaming.

and voice chat in games.

[hot shadow]

ok so you're looking for typical streamer/gamer mics then, they have a desk stand but you can buy a big metal swinging swanging arm for it too

like people who use a elgato wave 3 like it, it's 100 bux or w/e

i have a fifine am8, and a lot of others like their hyperX quadcast in either the older red led version or the new white with colors rgb

you can choose any of those

200 bucks is quite generous budget so really anythin works

just dont buy a big round snowball like some people do for their first mic, that one sux

my fifine am8 is 50-60 bux btw

it was highly recommended for bang-for-buck tier while sounding actually p good

your new thing to think about needs to be "do i want to talk into the tippy top pointy end of the microphone or do i want to talk into the broad side?" because they all differ

some people really dont like one or the other

im indiff

for instance, you talk into the tippy tip of the fifine am8, you point it right at your mouth. but the hyperX quadcast that's popular is 'you talk into the broad side'

up to you

if you buy a big mic arm to go with any of these, just make sure it can actually clamp onto somewhere

some desks are super thick and cant

[dire viper]

It’s a circle but not really. They’ve canceled a lot of funding or made the funding amounts smaller because no company has that much cash lying around. NVIDIA specifically half admitted to lying which means they don’t get in trouble for illegal round tripping.

[solemn geyser]

it will probably be tippy tip since I'll be wearing headphones with it to not bleed speaker audio into the mic.

[hot shadow]

fifine am8 comes in pink too if you like that

[solemn geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-kitty-my-melody-sanrio-lipexly-lipegifs-gif-13648656007156489393

[hot shadow]

there's other lil things too like some mics have a mute button you may or may not like hitting

fifine am8 is a lil touch button so it's fine, hyperX quadcast is like you boop one end of it so it's fine imo

everyone boops it

[solemn geyser]

you know a lot about this stuff

[hot shadow]

just basic

cause ive had to help vtuber girls buy a mic that wasn't garbo but theyre all unable to spend too much

i also had a jlab microphone that was just -ok- but i got rid of it

generally if you see any streamers have a nice mic, you should look at their setup in the biography somewhere, and see if you also like it after looking it up

[solemn geyser]

Well, there's my birthday present this year. Mic and a second monitor.

Acer Vero 27" IPS with Displayport.

Going to switch to that as primary and put the old Acer 27" I have now as secondary.

https://www.newegg.com/p/0JC-000P-00RM6?Item=9SIAA65KE12416

[muted compass]

I love fifine i got one on sale and it really sounds good for like 80cad

[solemn geyser]

I'm hyped. Now to maybe get some viewers that aren't bots on my streams.

[hot shadow]

can be a cute PNGtuber too

just 2 animations, open mic and closed

[solemn geyser]

I’ve been told I come off as an eepy anime girl before, so… /shrug

[tepid gulch]

[hot shadow]

[muted compass]

wait what

[compact pine]

oh yippi il get my share of 5$

[pine thistle]

just something about the fifine am8 incase it matters to you: If you turn off the rgb ring it'll periodically flash in bright white anyway

kinda annoying so I just leave it on since thats less distracting

[hot shadow]

this akko switch is so extra

fken sparkly and purple and a lil curved led window wtf

[pine thistle]

I don't even see enough of my switches for any of that to matter

[solemn geyser]

I gotta get some Sanrio/anime swag for my gaming space.

[solemn geyser]

I heard pink chairs are awful ergonomics wise though…

[pine thistle]

They're probably all "gaming" chairs

I imagine there aren't too many pink office chairs

[solemn geyser]

Yup. 😟

[warped siren]

scoliosis-inducing pink gamer chair bundled with the worst sounding cat ear headphones on earth

[potent arrow]

Had to help a friend reupholster her office chair for pink shit LMAO

[warped siren]

i wonder what it looks like after a month

[potent arrow]

fine, it was pink dyed canvas

[pine thistle]

That's one way to do it

[solemn geyser]

I’m going to figure out how to make it a comfier/cozier space.

[potent arrow]

not hard you just need a stapler and patience lmao

[potent arrow]

biggest thing is warm lights

[hot shadow]

its ok just think about it like get whatever good chair as priority, then decorate it with pink blanket, pink pillow, pink buttseat w/e

[potent arrow]

lmao

And comfy is subjective imo

mines just a place to spend for hours wihtout getting tired

[hot shadow]

i bought dumb fake flowers for my chair once and it failed cause it was a bouquet type instead of a string so i had to hang that elsewhere ._.

[potent arrow]

So like I have a foot cushion cuz im short

comfortable headphones and a shit ton of lights

[hot shadow]

i have a foot cushion cause my legs are jank

[potent arrow]

cuz im blind

[hot shadow]

altho right now im eating kimchi + chicken over rice and my dog is the footcushion cause she's begging

[potent arrow]

LOL

[hot shadow]

yum

[potent arrow]

sweet and sour pork with rice and indomie :P

[pine thistle]

I sit cross legged most of the time so ergonomics just go out of the window anyway

[potent arrow]

F

[hot shadow]

i gave a lil gold piece to my instacart delivery guy yesterday and wished them well, he started crying omg

[potent arrow]

omg lol

[solemn geyser]

That looks like good food

[solemn geyser]

Um, holy shit.. Newegg is fast.

Site says my microphone order is processing and I'm staring at the box right now.

[dire viper]

This is the best thing I’ve seen you cook

They grow up so fast…

[potent arrow]

mom made it

[dire viper]

O

Idk what to say now

[sinful ruin]

How tf do you install battlenet and wow on Linux

[hot shadow]

good question

no answer lmao

[grizzled hamlet]

One of the methods is, you can use NonSteam Launchers

Then according to a quick google, I found a reddit post from back in october of last year that says you can also use lutris

[sly walrus]

lutris my beloved

[ashen mirage]

I've never gotten Lutris to work (tried 3 separate times) so Heroic and maybe Bottles are other options if you have my luck

[grizzled hamlet]

Since I primarily use my steam deck, I usually go through the install process of certain exes by adding the installer through steam, running that, and then change the executable over to the installed program

Definitely a very manual way to go about it, but definitely a way of peeling the potato

[sly walrus]

honestly i just use heroic launcher for gog and epic

but i go to the lutris site to look up what version of proton i should be using

[solemn geyser]

yall, I got my monitor.. was trying to figure out why the hell the box was so big and they sent me two of them.

[hard drift]

time to rock the dual monitor setup

[solemn geyser]

I already have one 27”.

[sinful ruin]

Guess who fucking managed to nearly kill my computer by installing linux 😭

So I attempted to install Linux, I partitioned it to dualboot, something happened and it completely wiped the windows 11 partition

Then that somehow broke my copy of linux and now that bootloops

So now I'm reinstalling windows 11 off of an SD card because luckily I cloned my original install

And now I'm probably going to be stuck with the "activate windows" thing because my computer didn't come with a product key

[hot shadow]

wow, for the price of one???

triple monitor time

[solemn geyser]

Yeah. 🤔 My desk is too small for three, not enough outlets either.

If they’re ok with me keeping it, I’ll probably swap out my old QG for the other Vero.

[hard drift]

triple monitor setup time

[hard drift]

power strip and monitor arms

[hot shadow]

$$$$$$$

[hard drift]

you in the US?

[solemn geyser]

Mmhhmm.

[hard drift]

because if so you can keep it legally as it's a "Free gift" intentional or not assuming you didn't order 2

[hot shadow]

speaking of spending, i finally wallmounted my projector and i didnt have a stud for the right two screws so i used 6 wood screws on the left, and 2 drywall jank anchors lmaooo

WORKS w/e

this arm goes out like 40 inches but im keeping it around 25 ish

[odd talon]

Burger bunny

[severe flax]

what is that for?

[warped siren]

is that one of those projectors that auto aligns

[hot shadow]

yeah but thats like all projectors rn

[muted compass]

Hehehehehehehehehehehehe

Its here

Wait... do i need to reinstall nvidia drivers if i had a nvidia gpu... 🤔🤔🤔🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

[hot shadow]

for best practice the answer is yes

[compact pine]

Yes

[muted compass]

Do i use ddu or will nvidia app just cover it

[hot shadow]

up to you

do you want best practice? use ddu. do you want to yolo? dont care and just install gpu, reinstall nvidia drivers

a lot of people are lazy and don't ddu and have 0 issues so

[muted compass]

Im the best practice type of person so im using ddu lmao

[hot shadow]

a couple of times i didnt and nothing bad ever happened

and a couple of times i did and that was peace of mind... i guess..?

so lol

[muted compass]

Not doing it though does seem reassuring the next time i do an upgrade/build

[solemn geyser]

They want it back.

[compact pine]

damn

as if

theyt reached out to you for return?

the year before we got a whole ass expensive couch for free since they shipped us two and never asked for it back

[solemn geyser]

I contacted them first.

[compact pine]

FOOLISH!

hehe

[muted compass]

3050 to 5060 ti is so monumental for me

[hot shadow]

i bought this as a gift for someone and im jealous now cause it's a epomaker th99 for cheapo, hotswappable and the switches are sea salt silent

it's SOOOO QUIETTT

it's like touching little peaceful pebbles

im so glad good keyboards are cheap now

[hazy frost]

If ur ok with plastic ones they’re rly cheap

Also it’s like 98 or 100% or 60% and 75/80% are still kinda expensive

Looking for aluminium ones that don’t cut corners and are 75% is painful

Especially in ISO

[dusky magnet]

I actually don’t like the click of mechanical keyboards so if this is quiet I may have to take a look

[hazy frost]

There’s lots of silent switches

U can buy anything hot swappable without them and easily change them for silent ones

[gritty kelp]

i wonder if you could jailbreak a ps4 and put steamos on it

[muted compass]

Didnt someone do that already or was it probs regular linux

[gritty kelp]

Dont know, its just a random thought I had and no friend to share it to

[muted compass]

I was right

https://youtu.be/wm5rbNIPeH0?si=0DBcjW9nmv1F2aiq

I remember it now lmfao

This is the firs vid i watched from this guy

It isnt steamos it is archlinux though so its kinda close ish

[hot shadow]

ya you'll like it

it's really really quiet

it's quieter than most other silent switches

there's something dopamine about the tiny sound it does make, it's like soft pitter patter of rain

[hard drift]

What’s the switch or is the name actually sea salt silent

I need better switches and keycaps 😭

[brave oxide]

a full sized keyboard in this economy

how much was it

although tbh ive become dependent on media keys

i dont think id replace my kb with something without media keys

[hard drift]

Looks to be about 100

[hard drift]

You don’t like using macros like fn + and such?

[brave oxide]

honestly not really

100% keyboards always feel more comfortable

(plus media keys)

[hard drift]

Oh i agree on that part i was more referring to the media key thing

[pine thistle]

Not needing two hands to pause music is nice

Especially if you want to pause/skip between GCDs

[hazy frost]

I think 75% is the most comfortable bc u have everything in easy reach and u gain a whole lot of desk space back

It usually lets u have the keyboard more central while still having good space for ur mouse in a natural sitting position bc of it which I appreciate

[pine thistle]

I try to keep my pc desk relatively clutter free so not sure what I'd do with all the extra space

[hot shadow]

was only 70 bucks, amazed. also yeah a 100%

both of us only use 96 and 100

cause we actually use a numpad and dont like when people cut off the home n end keys apparently

i like that when you press caps/num/scroll lock the key lights up differently too so you dont need that whole other space to put 3 leds

[glossy ravine]

@worthy tundra

Regarding your PC build. You can save nearly 200 dollars by going to 16 GB of DDR5. Its perfectly fine for gaming. I ran of 16 off ddr4 for years.

Yes, it's also a tad slower but its hard to notice the difference in real time

Im not sure your home setup/if you have access to ethernet. (Ideal. Faster speeds than wifi.)

[worthy tundra]

I don't have access to ethernet. Cables not long enough.

[worthy tundra]

Oh yeah, that's a nice one. 16GB is going to be cheap, but it's expensive for me at the moment.

[glossy ravine]

You might need to buy a usb dongle for wifi/bluetooth. Doesnt look like your Motherboard has it built in.

[wild wyvern]

Does anyone have an switch 2?

[glossy ravine]

Yeah, why?

[wild wyvern]

I wonder if its worth getting it now or wait?

[glossy ravine]

Nintendo is apparently eyeing a price increase due to the state of everything.

Its a nice upgrade. I will give them that. Outside of Banaza, there’s no hard exclusives though

[wild wyvern]

I wanted an switch 2 because of ac shadows etc

@glossy ravine

[hazy frost]

no its very very easy to notice the difference between those speeds

[muted compass]

If this is the case i definitely dont recommend getting a switch 2 for 3rd parties... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you plan on playing it in handheld mode? Cuz if so the battery is lowkey kinda bad... even on sleep mode i found my switch 2 taking a good bunch compared to my lite

[hazy frost]

theres not a better handheld for the price of a switch 2 unfortunately

[muted compass]

It is a good buy if you have a lite (if you wanna hook it up to a tv) or a white box day 1 switch or dont have a switch at all cuz you have access to switch one games but most switch 2 games are still on switch 1

[hazy frost]

not really, the switch 2 is significantly more powerful than the original and will run new triple A games that are on it

as well as running the switch games with patches much better

even if u have a switch its a worthwhile upgrade

[muted compass]

I mean yeah but again if its still on handheld mode it dies really fast unless you have a power bank on your person

[hazy frost]

thats most handhelds

[muted compass]

I mean if you definitely have the money to throw at it i guess

[muted compass]

At least with the steam deck it lasts longer cuz i can manage the tdp manually

[hazy frost]

u get at least 2.5 hours in the most demanding games on the switch 2 rn

[hazy frost]

also noticeably less powerful even at max tdp

the only time a steam deck is worth buying now is if the refurb ones are in stock

[worthy tundra]

So I'm thinking of getting a PC with 16GB DDR4 RAM, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and an RTX card.

[muted compass]

Still has the games on a playable state on the deck but again its a mixed feeling on if you should buy the switch 2 rn sure you can get it but other than pokopia, mkw, donkey kong, youre not missing out on much

[hazy frost]

also all the existing switch games

and ones with switch 2 versions

[glossy ravine]

Not unless you have a side by side.

[wild wyvern]

Owww

PS5 is an no no cause

Its kinda expensive

[hazy frost]

the digital one is like the same price as a switch 2

[wild wyvern]

I see

[hazy frost]

u can obviously not play a ps5 anywhere but its location in ur house tho lol

so if u want to do that it doesnt matter

[wild wyvern]

Well

[hazy frost]

theres also the legion go S steamOS version thats similar price

another h andheld

[wild wyvern]

Is a budget gaming laptop better then?

[hazy frost]

no

[muted compass]

No

[hazy frost]

gaming laptops suck until like atl $800 in good sales

and handhelds are still better value if ur just gaming

[wild wyvern]

I thought the legion go s has an weaker cpu?

[hazy frost]

than what

[hot shadow]

you have to learn to crimp in this situation for apartments or houses these days

like if you super wanted to for ethernet, ideally

you just kinda cable drop it through a wall or you can carefully staple it around a doorframe and w/e if your router is not in your room (ideally it should be in your room)

[wild wyvern]

That the normal legion go

[hazy frost]

yeah it does

but a normal legion go is more expensive

and a go S is still close enough to a switch 2

and better than any gaming laptop under $500

[wild wyvern]

Its gonna suck on heavy games tho

[hazy frost]

its not

either way ur asking for smth not expensive

if u want better pay the $1000 for better ones

but for $500 its better than any laptop for it

and better than the steam deck

[wild wyvern]

I see

[wild wyvern]

Well u gotta install steam etc tbh

[hazy frost]

what

[muted compass]

The legion s has steamos pre-installed

[wild wyvern]

Oh

What if i wanna play xiv on it?

[muted compass]

Well theres two versions the windows and steam os

[muted compass]

It runs

[wild wyvern]

Which is better mostly

[muted compass]

Its playable i have XIV on my deck but it does take up a good chunk

[wild wyvern]

Windows or the steamos variant

[muted compass]

Depends on the games you want to try and see to play

[hazy frost]

steamOS is better on every handheld for having better UI actualyl designed for the console and less battery drain

the only problem is if u play games with kernel anticheat

which tbf i dont know many you would play on a handheld

[muted compass]

Do you want more multiplayer games go to windows but the downside is that windows doesnt really have a ui unless you use steam big picture mode

If you want a proper handheld experience use steam os

The only con is again what waffle said the kerner anti-cheat

[wild wyvern]

I see

[wild wyvern]

I might go for the windows version tbf

Since i might run other stuff on it too

[muted compass]

Go for it as long as yk the pros and cons i think you'd enjoy it

[hazy frost]

Ur gonna lose quite a lot of battery life

It’s like 25% in the most intensive games and stuff that’s less so more than double the battery life lol

[wild wyvern]

But tbh i think switch 2 is the best option so far

[hazy frost]

In what way

[kindred brook]

did I update the wrong version

is this normal now

[brave oxide]

모르겠습니다

[wild wyvern]

I can use it on docked mode

[hazy frost]

U can plug handhelds into a display

[wild wyvern]

Ah can u remove the side controllers on the legion go s?

@hazy frost or its fixed

[hazy frost]

It’s fixed

The new one has removable ones

It’s $900 tho

[wild wyvern]

Not an issue for me

I might get the legion go s probably cause its for when i wanna play xiv or other games on the go

[hot shadow]

the legion go s???

isnt that the one with the shittiest battery

damn

[hazy frost]

No?

[worthy tundra]

But what if my ethernet cable was in another home on the same plot of land, where both homes are owned by one person?

[hazy frost]

It’s the same as the steam deck

[hot shadow]

which one is the shit battery

[hazy frost]

Any of the windows ones that aren’t the ally x
