[hard drift]

so borderless/window -> fullscreen or vice versa

[burnt swallow]

What the fuck happened here

[hard drift]

windowed mode

[burnt swallow]

How is it displaying on both monitors now though

what

[hard drift]

that one idk

that's odd lol

[burnt swallow]

I have no idea what's going on

[modest moss]

you did alt+enter?

[burnt swallow]

[modest moss]

ballsy

[burnt swallow]

I have no idea what it did

But it pulls that up and I can't minimize or fullscreen or exit

But I can click cancel and get the popup on my main display to leave queue

But I can't hit the X on the queue box

[modest moss]

with the windowed one selected, do alt+enter again and see if you get two fullscreen ones

[burnt swallow]

And doing anything else gets rid of it

This is weird

@deep sapphire help

[deep sapphire]

hey hi

[burnt swallow]

I have no idea what's going on

But somebody suggested I try Alt + Enter to force XIV out of fullscreen or whatever mode I have it in without leaving queue so I can drag the game to my second display and play something else on my main display

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire WHERE IS THE OIL

[deep sapphire]

it seems you have 2 instances of the game open

[modest moss]

uh, nobody suggested you try it actually

[burnt swallow]

I did that but trying to drag XIV to my monitor leaves XIV there and puts this on my other display

[deep sapphire]

it wont let you close the game?

[modest moss]

#technology-discussion message

[burnt swallow]

But when I click on literally anything that other thing disappears

How do I go back

[deep sapphire]

you click anything and it disappears?

[burnt swallow]

Yeah

[deep sapphire]

what disappears

[burnt swallow]

Even if I click back on XIV it disappears

The popup on the second display

So when I try to drag XIV it reopens XIV in the foreground right

[deep sapphire]

the queue window?

[burnt swallow]

Then my displays both flash and that other window appears with my cursor

I can drag it anywhere but if I let go I can't interact with it and it has some kind of fucky interaction with the actual open instance

And if I click on anything outside that other window it just disappears

[deep sapphire]

maybe try doing windows key + P and switch back to 1 monitor and then try it again and see what happens when you put it on extend

maybe you're on mirrored or something

[burnt swallow]

I'm on extend right now

[deep sapphire]

well try putting it back to 1

and then interact with the window

make sure its working properly

then switch it back to extend

[modest moss]

is the queue still moving?

[burnt swallow]

Yeah on my other screen I have no idea if this second psuedo-display thing updates as well

[deep sapphire]

what is the monitor orientation set it, maybe you have it in reverse so you are interacting with the wrong window or something, cause you have a full screen instance and a windowed instance

[burnt swallow]

Hank it's not even registering as a separate instance

[modest moss]

I'd consider doing nothing until you're logged in, and then try fixing it from within XIV settings by switching to borderless windowed

[deep sapphire]

yeah or you'll need to record it or something because im not sure I follow exactly what you are trying to explain. not that its your fault it seems like an odd issue

[modest moss]

we said trying alt+enter in queue was risky and that I wouldn't do it lol

[burnt swallow]

It hasn't affected my queue

[modest moss]

it hasn't got you playing a different game side by side either though

[burnt swallow]

You have GW2 next to an XIV instance next to something next to Discord + something on top of another XIV instance

What the fuck

[modest moss]

Nier

and I think FFXIII

maybe FFXIII-2

or Lightning Returns, idk, I couldn't get into XIII-2

[hard drift]

why do you have so many things open...

also why do you have two xiv accounts lol

lol, i wish i could get my dads legacy account

he won't give me it :p

nor my moms 😭 so i'm stuck with a full sub price

[keen hill]

I am actually going to scream, this is a Clean goddamn install

only thing running is gshade

it was litterally fine 2 hours ago

[burnt swallow]

[modest moss]

I'd be checking drive health I guess

[keen hill]

wmic returns both ok

[modest moss]

could try official launcher?

[keen hill]

that IS official launcher xD

quicklauncher returns a simmilar error tho

[modest moss]

oh try the unofficial then

hmm weird

can you try installing to a different drive?

[keen hill]

worth a shot

que 6 hours of instal, yay

[modest moss]

it's that or reinstall windows, both suck

[keen hill]

bleh >->

thx for the help tho

what really grinds my gears is that this never happened prior to endwalker (and the audio issues accompanying it)

propably unrelated, but still bugs me

[deep sapphire]

this is usually a network issue

firewall, anti virus, bad route etc.

[keen hill]

what, the file corruption ?

[deep sapphire]

no the version check issue

[hard drift]

it says it's with the actual boot/exe not the version check

[keen hill]

^

[deep sapphire]

wait thats new, they actually give you diagnostic information now?

[hard drift]

lmao yeah, this one is actually unique here for once

[deep sapphire]

I thought that was just generic suggestions from quick launcher

[keen hill]

yay me

[hard drift]

not the same copy and paste issue every time lmao

[keen hill]

unique problems

[deep sapphire]

hey thats better than what it did before

all it said was "unable to perform version check"

and some random numbers that meant nothing

im glad SE is learning!

[hard drift]

they need to give us guides like the old days where we can lookup error codes

[keen hill]

well im reinstalling to a seperate drive and hoping that helps >->

i really hope its not gshade or quicklauncher causing this

[hard drift]

it shouldn't be

[deep sapphire]

make sure you wipe all contents of the game from the previous drive, using something that brute force removes shit

[keen hill]

including character data in documents ?

[deep sapphire]

the default installer doesnt remove all registry entries and thus you could encounter the same problem

[hard drift]

copy that to a usb and remove the usb

just incase and then move it over after

[deep sapphire]

as far as im aware it doesnt touch those and those dont really impact how the game launches in most instances aside from the config file and the infamous one drive write protection issue

but yeah what bidori said

do that

[hard drift]

got to love onedrive

a blessing and a curse

[deep sapphire]

tbf this is literally the only game im aware of that does it

so I dunno wtf is going on between them

[hard drift]

i had onedrive actually for some fucking reason save my drivers and shit for my gpu

it caused me such a headache for a while

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

i couldn't for the life of me figure out why lmao

[keen hill]

well that i dont have

thankfully

[deep sapphire]

yeah im sure thats the only thing from your GPU that causes headaches

[hard drift]

it is thank you 🙏

[deep sapphire]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/676865413992153119.png?size=96

[hard drift]

it's been atleast 2 weeks since my last crash

so i'd say this driver is amazing for once lmao

[deep sapphire]

2 weeks!

its been about 2 years for me

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/676865413992153119.png?size=96

[hard drift]

tbf that's pretty much when i got this driver

[hard drift]

smh atleast my gpu runs better than yours :p

[deep sapphire]

Clearly

[hard drift]

your gpu is old compared to mine if it wasn't running well i'd be concerned

[deep sapphire]

See your GPU is like someone who use to workout but stopped and came back. While he can run well, he is out of shape and thus must stop on the side of the track

Mine is a chad YMCA 55 year old

Who might not be the fastest runner

But he can go the distance

[hard drift]

i expect newer hardware to have problems it's part of being an early adopter lol

[keen hill]

k all traces gone, reinstalling to alternate drive, and praying to rngsus

[deep sapphire]

[keen hill]

ill be in touch :^)

[deep sapphire]

Sounds good

We have no life so we’ll be here

[hard drift]

i have a life ty, i just finished restoring my moms jewelry box for her christmas gift :p

[deep sapphire]

I don’t know how to respond to that

[hard drift]

😎 proving i have a life worked

[deep sapphire]

What’s that one gamer meme that was cringe yet hilarious in a cringe manner

[hard drift]

idk i don't keep up with memes

[deep sapphire]

I AM A GAMER

[hard drift]

lmao

notice how not a single one is a real person 😎

get rekt gamers :p

[deep sapphire]

That’s okay they have Adam Jensen

[hard drift]

who?

[deep sapphire]

Fuck you square for ruining that beautiful franchise

Deus ex

[hard drift]

ah, never played it

[deep sapphire]

By far my favorite game franchise

If you like immersive sims you should check it out

[hard drift]

when i get a job now that i'm done with christmas stuff i'll have to

got something else on my list to buy first

[deep sapphire]

They go on sale often and are dirt cheap so pick the whole collection up

Usually 85 percent off

[hard drift]

Lol still need a job for that

[deep sapphire]

Ill buy you it

[hard drift]

no then i'll owe you even if you say i don't

[modest moss]

I am also interested in Bidori's mum's box

[deep sapphire]

its probably like 20 bucks at best I dont care lol

[hard drift]

[hard drift]

i care

[modest moss]

I meant the restoration process of course

[hard drift]

i didn't take a before picture 😭 but i have the after

idk how i forgot lol

[modest moss]

show us

btw it looks like there are GOG versions of every Deus Ex on windows except The Fall, so depending on which you want and your ethics, you could pirate it

[hard drift]

Can’t atm, last part is drying with a book on top to keep it in place

I’ll show tomorrow

i'll probably continue buffing the lacquer on it tomorrow just because it doesn't look good enough to me

[modest moss]

also the OG Deus Ex from 2000 is $0.97 on Steam rn

if that's the one you want

you can dance for Hank in Limsa and he can stuff a dollar in your panties

[hard drift]

lmao

i'll see what i get for christmas and probably buy it then

[modest moss]

hell the entire Deus Ex bundle is £7.33 on Steam, so around $10, for 5 games and a season pass

[deep sapphire]

yeah its always on sale

but bidori wont accept FREE games I guess

smh

the original deus ex is worth every penny and then some

probably beaten it 30 times and I still love playing

[jaunty light]

Yeah strip for us and we will put some gil in your pants

[hard drift]

lmao that has to be rmt if i get the game

[deep sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ljt8SHuv2I

[modest moss]

my dad liked OG Deus Ex

I tried it, it annoyed me

[jaunty light]

Guesa you didnt inherit his good taste

[modest moss]

I want to say there was a forced stealth part, but I might be remembering wrong

[jaunty light]

Stealth pacifist is da way to play!

Oh my god JC, a bong!

[deep sapphire]

nah you can go in guns blazing for the most part

the only annoyance is the stealth aspect is based on the system used in thief

meaning you basically have to find shadows lmao

it makes it kinda clunky

dont get me wrong the game is pretty clunky to play but if you can forgive those flaws its a masterpiece

[jaunty light]

We just need to remaster it for thr younger generation

[deep sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNY9Qr8oN0k

god I would love that so much

[jaunty light]

Slap on 50 more hud elements, add doritos cool ranch cosmetics, and itll be a hit with the kids.

[deep sapphire]

but I doubt it'd sell well

who knows

people dont seem to buy immersive sims

god knows why

[jaunty light]

Because it's not SOLDIER MAN go to PLACE and SHOOT THE THING

Soaaaap

[deep sapphire]

pretty much lol

I defended mankind divided so hard when people kept shitting on it

like yes I agree the game ended too short and I still believe square had a lot to do with that

but other than that the game is fantastic

so much detail put into the world, everything is fun to explore

[jaunty light]

Devs: sweet, part 1 of 3 done!
Square: release it
Devs: but we barely started the london bossfig-
Square: RELEASE IT

[deep sapphire]

Haha yeah

[umbral moss]

the problem with DXHR is that you could do guns blazing but the game rewarded you for being invisible way more

so if you went hard stealth you had like a million XP

[deep sapphire]

HR did have some clunky gameplay but that was mostly fixed in the game of the year edition or whatever it was called

[umbral moss]

there was no "cold blooded" achievement for killing every single witness in an area, but there was one for killing exactly zero enemies and never being detected

[deep sapphire]

The OG version of HR had some brutal AI

[umbral moss]

some bad AI

[deep sapphire]

If you got spotted you had no chance of escaping it

It was bullshit

[umbral moss]

only true in a few areas, but the AI was also very aggressive at investigating noises and shit

[deep sapphire]

MD made the gameplay significantly better

The cover system was much improved, the radar was better

[umbral moss]

imagine a FPS having better stealth mechanics than MGS

[deep sapphire]

The aug system made more sense

[umbral moss]

the thing that always got me about DXHR/MD is how much more advanced the augs are than they are in DX1

even though they're both prequels

[deep sapphire]

The only thing HR was better at was more diverse areas and the story was better

[umbral moss]

where did all that fancy bullshit go between DXMD and DX1

[deep sapphire]

Yeah it is silly

[umbral moss]

why is JC just wearing ugly ass sunglasses

[deep sapphire]

Most of the augs in deus ex were pretty pointless too

Like improved melee combat

[umbral moss]

meanwhile, adam is like "I can punch through walls and my forearms turn into blenders"

[deep sapphire]

Who tf cares about that

[umbral moss]

there's a couple un-useful augs like the one that lets you punch through walls

while it's funny to surprise someone through a wall with it it also turns your melee attacks into lethal damage

so you can't just punch people in the face if you don't have any LTL ammo

[deep sapphire]

if you did the bank heist

the wall aug was pretty helpful

otherwise you had to fuck about on the main floors and try to avoid getting spotted

[umbral moss]

DXHR was basically "find the convenient man-sized duct entrance simulator"

you didn't actually have to interact with anyone or anything except the bosses

[untold onyx]

Yup, there's even an achievement for it as well.

Too bad you're forced to abandon your pilot friend if you go that route though.

2nd time doing anything wood working related restoration turned out okay aside from me having to learn to use lacquer and make sure that piece stayed in place

[hard drift]

no

[deep sapphire]

Yeah looks good except for that shim there

BACK TO HOME DEPOT

[hard drift]

lmao that's how they made it

the back near the hinges was busted, also had to change them so that isn't on me

[deep sapphire]

Rip

[hard drift]

yeah, i still have a bad feeling about the hinges so i'm going to see what else i can do there

[deep sapphire]

What exactly is wrong with them, just not flush or something?

[hard drift]

the problem is the spot is so thin because of how the hinges are and there's no stop so the top could technically go all the way back and snap it again

[warm mesa]

@deep sapphire

[hard drift]

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-reveal-zen-4-cpus-at-ces-2022/ can't wait

[modest moss]

attach a ribbon on the inside of the box wall and lid

[deep sapphire]

[warm mesa]

ek aio based

and not too expensive either

[hard drift]

i don't have ribbon

[modest moss]

go buy some

[hard drift]

maybe

[modest moss]

it'll cost you a dollar or two

don't be lazy

[hard drift]

it's a matter of walking

[modest moss]

get going, it's your mum

[dull garnet]

AYO

[deep sapphire]

People walk?

[hard drift]

i don't drive -.-

[deep sapphire]

Why not

[hard drift]

no desire to 🤷‍♂️

[deep sapphire]

Didn’t you say you were gonna get a license

[hard drift]

i have no choice

[deep sapphire]

I dunno man unless you live downtown it’s hard to live without wheels

When I was 17 I had to take the bus to visit my gf at the time

She loved maybe 20 minutes away but the bus ride was over an hour

[scenic panther]

Does anyone know how players are making these YouTube videos using FF14 characters. See alot of Emet Selch like playing piano, singing, and dancing. Does SE make the character models available to anyone to use?

[modest moss]

did you go tho

[hard drift]

yes but i can't do anything yet, dad is going to check something with it and mom is home shortly after he is

[modest moss]

you legit bought ribbon?

[hard drift]

idk how tf to tie a ribbon though lol

[modest moss]

good lad

you don't need to tie it

[hard drift]

i already bought it, might as well tie it

otherwise should've gotten one of those sticky ones or whatever they are

[modest moss]

I think you've missed my meaning with ribbon

[hard drift]

i have never seen someone just do ribbon they always do something fancy

[modest moss]

I meant use ribbon to do this

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

so it'll stop the box opening all the way back

[hard drift]

well now it's too late for that lmao

[modest moss]

just tack the ribbon to the internal wall and lip of the lid

ez

[hard drift]

true, it's still red atleast so i'll see if my dad has anything for it or if it's okay to modify like that

[teal fable]

would a sound bar work well with a desktop

[hard drift]

what are you after when you say "work well"

[teal fable]

well i dont really have space for speakers at either side of my monitor, theres possibly room for speakers underneath it because its quite elevated, was just curious if sound bars was a thing for them,

[hard drift]

it's a cpu it'll be fine :p

[odd sand]

Their mobo/chipset drivers are a bit squirrely as well

[hard drift]

can be, for most people it's fine though

[teal fable]

that looks perfect actually

[hard drift]

yeah it's pretty nice just beware it doesn't drive high refresh monitors if you use it as a passthrough

you'll be locked to the specs of the port

so if you're using a 60hz monitor it should be fine, idk about higher though

[teal fable]

ah im using a 165hz

[hard drift]

what resolution?

can also use it in bluetooth mode if you wanted to 🤷‍♂️

[teal fable]

1440

bluetooth would be nice

i have one it was a cheap buy that sits on top of monitor, but the quality sounds interferic

[hard drift]

it is hdmi 2.0 so it should be able to do atleast 120hz for 1440p

idk about higher though

but can always do the bluetooth to not worry about that

[teal fable]

i see ill defo look into that then i dont like the idea of a generic speaker system for my build i havnt enough deskroom now haha

i wish i was more comfortable in headset some of them surround sound ones look pretty cool

it could be you have keybound the L key to a shortcut in windows

the bmw ceo is probably all like Es ist ein Auto, man darf beim Autofahren nicht essen!

[sly elk]

though seriously

ever go to mcdonalds and they give you a cup and the top pops off when you're putting it in the cupholder and makes a mess

one time they gave me the cup and the top fell off and the cup dumped itself in my lap 😦

[hard drift]

never done that tbh

[sly elk]

good!

I mean it's not a thing you do voluntarily

and it's not like I grabbed the cup by the top

but if the top comes off the cup loses a lot of structural integrity and stuff comes out haha

[hard drift]

too much pressure at the base probably

[sly elk]

nuh they just didn't get the top on all the way

[hard drift]

but maybe

they squeezed it before giving it to me?

dell is worse than amd

[sly elk]

if dell hadn't already gone private

I'd say they should do what michael dell told steve jobs to do to apple back in the day

"give the money back to the shareholders and close down"

The only thing Dell is good at is leading cultists

[hard drift]

nah sadly a lot of businesses use dell from my experience

[paper tusk]

yeah cultists and companies too scared to have an in house IT department

[sly elk]

because the IT people are dell cultists

[blazing panther]

figured out that I can make my cheap chassis fans rgb with my motherboard now I got some cute flowy blue/greens on them <333

[sly elk]

sweet

[blazing panther]

was about to buy new fans to do that exact thing but don't need to anymore lmao

[sly elk]

what cheap chassis fans?

did ya get a corsair chassis or something?

[blazing panther]

so it came with no fans

[sly elk]

ahh

was going to say

[blazing panther]

i have bought a 2nd set of these fans just because one of my fans are currently a bit noisy at low speeds and I need to fill out one last fan slot in my case, plus then i got a few spare if needed

Lil vid of the fans in action

they share the same rgb controls as my aio pump/fans

then my ram sticks are doing teh same too

[teal fable]

looking sweet

[blazing panther]

thank you! I would come off of green/x colour schemes if my wires weren't green sleeeved. will have to get white ones eventually.

[potent arrow]

NOW THIS IS A COOL BUILD

[blazing panther]

thank you

[potent arrow]

just an idea

you can get right angle cable combs

makes it very very neat 90degree ish bends

[blazing panther]

interesting

[potent arrow]

if not just move the first one slightly backwards

and its corrects the curve

[blazing panther]

i kinda like the curve of it tbh

[sly elk]

i can't find any

yea I also like the curve

also that looks gooooood

[blazing panther]

if that was right angled and the gpu ones weren't it'd then make the gpu ones look strange

and it also matches the 8pin cpu one at the top too

i definitely need to neaten it up though

[potent arrow]

idk the comb being angled annoys me a tad

I like things straight unlike me

[blazing panther]

you don't wanna see the combs on my gpu 😂

[sly elk]

I guess that's what you're thinking of?

it looks more like a 180 😄

[blazing panther]

ahh interesting

[potent arrow]

not that

uh

[sly elk]

also that blue/black is pretty and I want it

[potent arrow]

give me a sec im in a match

[sly elk]

the cablemod blue/black I have is not that pretty

[potent arrow]

Fucking HALO

I sleeve my own cables

[dull garnet]

you never mentioned it before

blue and black looks so naff

[sly elk]

what's naff mean?

[potent arrow]

nice

[blazing panther]

Don't look at my gpu combs 🤡

ill prob strip them back when I next clean the pc

or install my last fan tomorrow

i tried to group them up so they looked like the mobo cable but it doesnt look right so imma just separate them and let them slack a bit

[sly elk]

that is a lot of combs

[blazing panther]

yeeahh

[sly elk]

a lot of ccombs geez

[blazing panther]

it wasn't working for me lmao

but you usually don't see that side ok 😰

[sly elk]

it's ok

right now my computer looks sloppy inside

[blazing panther]

same

🤡

[sly elk]

when I changed GPUs I needed to get new extensions

[blazing panther]

none of your fans match what

[sly elk]

lol 😄

[blazing panther]

it was on the 'icue isn't running' theme

[potent arrow]

PIIINK

[sly elk]

just because it's tiny doesn't mean it can't have rgb

[blazing panther]

I would personally either diffuse the LED strips or remove but honestly it looks gr8 yo

[potent arrow]

I put the h100 back into my pc recently

[blazing panther]

I used to have green/pink

[potent arrow]

gonna go to hard tubing again soon ™️

[blazing panther]

now im cyan/green

[sly elk]

yea auries I agree about the LED strips

[blazing panther]

Old

New 🥰

[sly elk]

what happened was when I got the 3070 it looked really dreary without any lights

[potent arrow]

I neeed to get a picture of my gfs pc, she as an led strip going across her motherboard

its so ugly

[sly elk]

so I bought the corsair strips to brighten it up

I should've returned them

but I liked them

but my goodness do they ever look tacky

[warm mesa]

cant wait to rgbfy my meshlicious case

[blazing panther]

yeah led strips not my favourite unless they diffused

i mean i got LED strips on the back of mym onitors for bounceback light

[sly elk]

honestly i dunno

the whole thing doesn' tlook right

lol

[blazing panther]

Uwu

[sly elk]

i think it's a combination of things

[dull garnet]

bring back cold cathodes

[winter marten]

yall have any recs for headphones under $200?

[blazing panther]

razer blackshark v2

my bf hates razer but i recommended them to him and he loves them now

[winter marten]

im looking to steer away from gaming headsets but appreciated

[dull garnet]

open or closed

[blazing panther]

I mean i use them for meetings in work and music personally and they work great, have their own spatial audio

[winter marten]

I'm fine with either

[dull garnet]

dt 770 80ohm are usually a decent rec, or sennheiser hd 560s

[sly elk]

-chuckle- naw bro, GRADOS

hehe jk

just felt like making the most hipster recommendation I could think of

[dull garnet]

grado are certainly something

[sly elk]

I've never tried them

[winter marten]

I'll look into them, thank you

[dull garnet]

they're fun

[sly elk]

they do have a bit of a following

[dull garnet]

i had some sr-80 as my first "audiophile" headphone

[sly elk]

i use dt880s myself

surprisingly, lots of things drive the 250ohm version without volume issues

does wired or wireless matter?

[dull garnet]

they colour the sound a bunch but they're easy to drive

worth a try

[sly elk]

i love how comfy beyers are

they're huge and typically have velour cushions

[dull garnet]

i feel beyer are a bit heavy

[sly elk]

truuue

[hard drift]

the only complaint about beyers i have is the cable being exposed so to speak, i constantly have to double check when i go to fix my hair

atleast on the 770 pro

[sly elk]

oh yea

the headband design is a little wonky

[hard drift]

but they're super comfy

[sly elk]

it's funny because it's the least wonky headband I can think of compared to those YE OLDE DAYS ones

but the metal clips on mine sometimes catch my hair when I'm pulling them off

[hard drift]

lmao yup, had that happen

[winter marten]

whats the difference between dt770 and dt880

[sly elk]

there's 3 headphones. 770 is completely closed, 990 is completely open

[dull garnet]

770 are closed, 880 semi open

[sly elk]

the 880 have a piece of plastic with a hole in the middle

[winter marten]

ohh

[sly elk]

people would think 'semi open' means less sound leakage so others can't hear as much music

but they leak just like any other open headphones would

[winter marten]

would u recommend em

[sly elk]

i like them, though I sometimes wonder if I should've gone with the 990s instead lol

open (or semi open) is pretty sweet because it feels like you're not wearing headphones

[dull garnet]

🅱️ass

[sly elk]

you can hear everything around you

if you're feeling adventurous and have a headphone amp, maybe hifiman he400is or something of that nature

maybe not those exact ones, but they definitely have stuff <$200

[winter marten]

i dont think im gonna get an amp

[dull garnet]

slippery slope

[sly elk]

then the beyers are a good choice 😄
There might be sennheisers that handle not having an amp too

beyers come in multiple resistance levels that have different sound attributes

[winter marten]

interesting

my void elites have finally croaked so any of those r probs an upgarde lol

[sly elk]

the lowest are 32ohm

[winter marten]

upgrade*

[sly elk]

supposedly 32 and 80ohm are made to be driven with cellphones or whatever

250ohm you should use an amp, 600ohm you definitely should

[dull garnet]

do you intend to be listening to music?

[sly elk]

I don't use an amp with my 250ohm 😄

[winter marten]

ye

[dull garnet]

that's the main benefit of headphones vs headsets

[winter marten]

music and gaming

[sly elk]

oh there's one other interesting thing about beyers

[dull garnet]

i've never used a headset that sounded good with music

[sly elk]

their regular headphones are made in germany 😄

[winter marten]

cool

[dull garnet]

beyer and sennheiser parts are fully replaceable

which is nice

[sly elk]

hmm are they?

[dull garnet]

i think you can get beyer spares

[winter marten]

I think im gonna go for the dt880

thank u guys

[dull garnet]

i'm certain you can get senn spares

these are headphones that could last decades so it is good to know you can maintain them if you so desire

something you can't do with philips fidelio

[winter marten]

oo

[odd sand]

For some of that stuff its like you almost want to buy them at the same time as the headphones in case replacement parts dry up

[dull garnet]

well the 770 came out in 1985

do I need

a platinum

[dapper fractal]

Could someone help me out im able to swap between wifi

[sly elk]

nope. not unless you want it

[kindred brook]

HMMMMM

[sly elk]

what case are you using to want a small form factor one?

[kindred brook]

wait

thats a small form factor?

[sly elk]

yesss

if you want a 750w platinum ATX you can get them for less $$

man that has nicer cables than any of their other units :S

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-Platinum-SSR-750PX-Modular-Warranty/dp/B074NB1PBZ
this for example

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-PX-750-Full-Modular-Application-SSR-750PX/dp/B07W4PLZWH

i wonder what the difference between the focus plus and the regular focus is...

ah wait

neither of those is sold directly by amazon >>

[dull garnet]

recently bought the SF600 gold

the 24 pin cable is hilariously short

[sly elk]

i've been looking at 1000w units and don't like anything i see lol

oh hell the gundam 850w is only $20 more than the white strix 850w

[dapper fractal]

Anyone?

[sly elk]

shiva what do you mean "im able to swap between wifi"

[dapper fractal]

I mean not able to click on the lower wifi options

It seems to be locked into place

[devout nexus]

seasonic is rediculous. all their products h ave multiple part# for the exact same product

[glossy timber]

sometimes due to supplier issues you have to swap supplier out for certain components, as long as this is transparantly communicated to the consumer it's fine

[modest moss]

no

[modest moss]

what happens if you click disconnect?

[sly elk]

oh phew i'm glad i didn't gbuy that psu

it was open box

[odd sand]

It's really hard to get supplies atm. Seasonic is among the best PSUs out there, but everyone has trouble with components these days

[dapper fractal]

@modest moss nothing though I solved it . Just right click I guess . While it doesn't fully the issue it gets it to work

[modest moss]

good good

[sly elk]

aw dang, stupid people who can't play games while driving?! ruining it for the rest of us!!!!!

[umbral moss]

they're being sued by the NHTSA, I think

since there's nothing stopping the driver from playing games while driving

and tesla has a pretty substantial track record of drivers crashing because they think the car can drive itself as it is

[sly elk]

seriously though, the number one search result for practically any in-car entertainment system is something like "unlock video while driving"

[odd sand]

Wow... I didn't realize USB 3.1 Gen1 and USB 3.2 Gen1 are both... just USB3.0

[sly elk]

USB standards suck

[odd sand]

And now HDMI is doing the same bullshit with HDMI 2.0 and 2.1

[sly elk]

my favorite of those is how the iphone 13 with prores 4k video and all that.... can only transfer at usb 2.0 speeds

[odd sand]

HDMI 2.0 has been "deprecated" so now when you see 2.1 you don't actually know at a glance it can support 4K/120

Isn't it still lightning? Or somehow its USB-C and that only goes at 2.0 speeds?

[sly elk]

reminds me of my barely year old 34" monitor that only supports an old version of hdmi because it uses an old gsync module xD

hurray for 50hz 3440x1440 when I use my work laptop

[jaunty light]

[teal fable]

not alot xD#

[dreamy chasm]

Platinum psu's aren't worth the price premium for the efficiency alone.

[sly elk]

aye

you can reference the psu tier list ( https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ ) and get something from tier a/b and those are all probably pretty good bets, using amazon reviews to further get an idea hehe

there are a couple of corsair and evga things around $100 right now for 750/850w

[dreamy chasm]

Some of the plat units do have better power delivery but they aren't much benefit over a decent gold rated unit at more reasonable pricing unless you're pushing high overclocks

[sly elk]

one thing I was really struggling with the other day when I was thinking about buying a 1000w lol

corsair's newest rm1000x is really efficient

I wouldn't be surprised if it's more efficient than the hx1000

which is based on a design from 2013

[dreamy chasm]

a few pct in efficiency isnt really something i bother with if it costs significantly more

[sly elk]

they cost the same on amazon 😄

the plus side of getting an hx1000 is it might be an old stock one

so it might have better components than a brand new one

[dreamy chasm]

no guarantee in that, though

[teal fable]

i think i have the rm1000

the cables are shit though

[dreamy chasm]

I have a 500w sfx one from seasonic

Cables were hard to bend but it's been pretty quiet so far

Using it in an ITX build since the smaller form factor is easier to lug around

[sick moon]

somebody told me the fix for the launcher HTTPS error is to update IE

I am confused

[latent grotto]

the launcher runs through internet explorer

don't ask why

[sick moon]

ok I resetted

lessee

🅰️

[lost gust]

obviously if you want you can use these launcher too: https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

[sick moon]

didn't work

do I seriously need to update the old innternet explorer?

[latent grotto]

something i've been seeing that works sometimes is deleting the the ffxiv boot file

i don't think you can even update IE anyway

[sick moon]

I'll test it out after CCleaner finishes its run

[latent grotto]

when you delete the boot file it will just create a new boot file and acts as if you've just launched the game for the first time

[sick moon]

hoot file, hehe

[latent grotto]

if it still doesn't work try the quick launcher

[sick moon]

aha

thanks

boot deleting helped

[latent grotto]

👍

[odd sand]

The whole process is labyrinthine bc IE was deprecated and even Edge classic is deprecated soon, but Windows still has an IE emulation layer for Edge which probably doesn't play well with FF's 20 year old launcher tech

[latent grotto]

i still don't get why deleting the boot file helps

[prime kiln]

hey all, maybe stupid question: I reinstalled my gpu drivers because i had issues playing the game

now, does resintall a gpu driver damage my monitor?

as in create dead pixels or anything?

i have 0 tech knowledge as hardware goes, sorry 😦

[prime kiln]

Can this get you banned btw? It looks so nice

[lost gust]

well i still using it for automatic login and i dont have any issue. I hate the old launcher by square enix. It took to long and u must give everytime your password. with xivlauncher u come directly into the game.

[teal fable]

So does ff14 have any helpful addons

[latent grotto]

i highly doubt it.

[hard drift]

technically any third party tool can get you banned but your chance is next to 0 especially if you aren't talking about it in game

[hard drift]

pixels can get stuck from drivers but they shouldn't damage the monitor itself

there's ways to of course damage it with a driver although you'd have to intentionally go there lol

[prime kiln]

alright thanks all!

[late basalt]

Software does not cause hardware faults outside of extreme ”how did you fuck up this badly” situations

As far as the other launcher, I think it sits in that “we can’t say yes it’s allowed (slippery slope cough WoW) but it fixes things so we aren’t going to say no either” gray area

[narrow juniper]

I think as long as u don't say anything about it like act there's no problem

[late basalt]

🤔 SE should just buy the rights and code to the launcher and make it the standard launcher tbh

[narrow juniper]

If they did they would kill the plug-ins

Se is very conservative

They won't allow any plug-ins

Tbh I would rather it stays as it is

[sly elk]

I still fondly remember a time in my data structures class where a friend managed to write a program using visual c++ where when he hit the debug button, it crashed the computer

and it was totally repeatable

[odd sand]

Data structures, fun stuff. I think if/when I go back to school that class might still be one I have to take. I remember seeing the code outputs from students being dozens or hundreds of pages long. The teacher always liked a copy on paper heh.

[blazing hazel]

@late basalt You have CLEARLY never coded before in at least with any non ROBLOX language.. you can cause hardware faults even with c# and its a completly managed language

[odd sand]

I dunno if I would call it "managed to write" seeing as garbage-handling in C++ is entirely on the programmer, so it can be quite easy to do any number of things that can crash either the program or the computer.

[late basalt]

Sorry, who are you?

[wide hill]

hardware faults can happen if the driver you are using sucks, no?

[paper tusk]

my experience is bad drivers can expose failing hardware but generally drivers wont brick hardware on their own

unless the device requires something like firmware uploaded per boot

[potent arrow]

I mean yeah stopping a firmware flash midway makes it go poop

There are many fail-safes in place to prevent software from doing physical damage, something something kernel access use access something something

for some reason when they were first released dell was trying to get like $1299

How big a diff is wireless vs wired?

I'll be honest, bt on windows ain't it chief so if you get wireless get one with a dedicated receiver

Like a Logitech one that has its own properatary reciever thing

Alright. I was debating on that tbh.

Like, will I sacrifice too much for the wireless

and i got a pretty big head

so I'm looking for something that doesn't squish my head

[lost python]

yoo i have the same speakers, they are pretty good

[glossy timber]

I'm not gonna lie to you modmics aren't really an improvement over a not complete shit headset mic, I'd only use them with regular headphones

Also yeah what the Honda civic said

[potent arrow]

LMFAO

[potent arrow]

Yeah I have audiophile headphones but didn't want to break the budget on monitors. They sound really good

[lost python]

good bang for the buck yeah

a little flat at times but nothing too bad

[potent arrow]

I mean that's what they are, truth be told if you want something better then shit headset mics you want something with active components in it too

Like a cheap snowball or w/e is good these days for budget

[potent arrow]

For the distance they are to me, I doubht I'll notice it 😅

[glossy timber]

Yeah I'm just trying to prevent people buying stuff that's not useful to them, since they said they were gonna buy a headset AND modmic

[potent arrow]

Yeah

If anything why get a buggy or big dongled wireless headset when you can spend some nice money in a condenser/interface set up that you can put on an arm and cable manage so it's always out of the way

Or get a snowball something that works from a distance

Might be my use case, but I don't ever understand when a headset is the better option besides portability

[glossy timber]

Just don't get a mic

Talking to people cringe

[potent arrow]

Mood

[latent grotto]

Imagine talking

[modest moss]

yeah fuck people, I only tolerate you tech discord AIs

[lost gust]

now second time with this issue.. I’ll freak out soon

[teal fable]

That looks like the same instructions I get at work on the machines

Can’t understand them because they all in German 😆 woops lost a finger

[fervent field]

something wrong with latest nvidia drivers and windows 11

[lost gust]

and i use win10

[fervent field]

idk maybe latest patch of game broke some stuff
