women and guys are just as likely to be vindictive assholes

xD

would karens be a thing otherwise?

That makes sense. people can have a wealth of knowledge on one subject and be totally ignorant of another

and I think intelligent people can still be manipulated by misinformation if they're told what they really want to hear

i only use google for email, which is really the worst idea haha

but there aren't that many good alternatives

i thought about office 365 and nah, MS is pretty bad too haha

there were some other better options i guess

[jaunty light]

id actually pay that tbh

oh wait it's a 3080 nvm

[sly elk]

it's not the most awful deal ever

[dull garnet]

a lowly 3080

absolutely disgusting

[sly elk]

but yea jus ttry to get a white strix lol

[sly elk]

stores do still carry them

[jaunty light]

3080 peasants?

simply unacceptable

[hard drift]

smh filthy 3080 peasants

not even a 3080ti

[jaunty light]

I got black

Not that it matters if i decide to waterkewl

[sly elk]

ye

so why

why do you buy a strix

if you're just going to water cool it

[jaunty light]

Best components

[boreal surge]

Apparently even though all the companies get the same plans from Nvidia they manufacture them differently?

[sly elk]

fair

at least it's a black strix

[boreal surge]

Oh yeah and people want their builds to look pretty

[sly elk]

me toooo

I dunno if a gpu will make or break a build

[boreal surge]

Psh 1 year out of college, still on a laptop

[sly elk]

I suppose there's the palit hall of fame card

it might be hard to make a setup look good with that one haha

[boreal surge]

Well you need both CPU and GPU, bottleneck on one will limit the other..

[dull garnet]

lol

i thought the hof cards were galax

[sly elk]

i did like the gamerock

[boreal surge]

Not a PC builder (more like a CS major) but basically if you get really good utiliation of both your CPU and GPU at the settings you like you gucci

[sly elk]

but it's

well, ya know

[dull garnet]

that would look great with some trident z royal

[sly elk]

i really wanted a white strix too xD

[dull garnet]

I really want some but that premium for aesthetics, ehhh

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/dry-heave-throw-up-vomit-gross-ew-gif-4726988

[sly elk]

ye

I mean before tax my 3080ti was 1377 >>

[modest moss]

speedy

[sly elk]

it's hard a shell to argue with that for aesthetics

[modest moss]

HOOTENANNY

[sly elk]

i could toss a custom block cooler on it and we're done

[dull garnet]

oh yeah

2022

[sly elk]

nobody will know it's a turd 😄

[dull garnet]

how bout that

[sly elk]

ahhh I should buy some of that trident royal z

[dull garnet]

i actually prefer the non RGB

[hard drift]

those were limited run pretty sure

[sly elk]

i love it

it's so dang pretty

[dull garnet]

they revised the design now too

[hard drift]

you like the royal design???

[sly elk]

uh huh

i love it

[dull garnet]

how could you not

[hard drift]

it's too gaudy imo

[dull garnet]

I live for gaudy

[sly elk]

in a way that's why i love it

[sly elk]

it's so deliciously over the top

[hard drift]

lmao

i mean to each their own

[dull garnet]

i used to wear a leopard print sukajan

[sly elk]

it's for the computer that needs a candelabra

holy fuck that image is 20mb

[deep sapphire]

okay I will shut my PC down ty

you saved my life

[jaunty light]

I do want royal but not this late into ddr4's life

that'll be for another build

[jaunty light]

oh bro this is sick wtf

[dull garnet]

right? lol

anyone remember the Corsair RAM that would show utilisation and shit

that was cool

[boreal surge]

Lol people think computers rely that much on dates.

[dull garnet]

well, Y2K was a thing that had to be avoided

[jaunty light]

at the time, they had no idea what would happen. this is because the hit game runescape skills maxed out at 99

[boreal surge]

Yeah as far as i know, the not enough space to store time problem is being solved by adding another byte and forgetting about it until it becomes a problem again

I know everyone's hung up on quantum computing, but really what people actually need is some sort of quantum storage.

Cause lets face it we can't just make more storage devices to store the ever increasing amount of electronic data we have and use

[jaunty light]

dont worry about it, we'll utilize the magic of stargate crystals

one of these suckers stores like, one hundred quadrillion billion trillion yottabytes of NFT transaction history

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/indeed-yes-approved-confirmed-affirmative-gif-5506201

[jaunty light]

[dull garnet]

my own irreplaceable data is like <100GB

[jaunty light]

oh interesting note about the o11d it will not fit a 3090 apparently

unless vertical

thought it was deeper than that.. at least this is according to ekwb

[sly elk]

huh weird

mini?

or full size too??

[jaunty light]

dynamic, but this is a mini.. and clearly it fits with room to spare

maybe they just wanna sell me a vertical mount badly

[dull garnet]

who needs a window anyway

[sly elk]

yea

[jaunty light]

open air cooling baby

[sly elk]

but the EK blocks have thsoe things that stick out

[dull garnet]

i used to run my pc without a door for years

[jaunty light]

the configurator is having a lot of issues actually

just said the 360mm rad for top wasn't compatible with the distro block?

[jaunty light]

what is this contraption

[sly elk]

https://videocardz.com/press-release/ek-announces-quantum-vector-waterblock-with-active-backplate-for-geforce-rtx-3090-founders-edition

[jaunty light]

oh sick

actually jealous of FE then, the strix active isn't as cool

only $1k and the pain of bending tubes and I could have the sweet lööp

is this a fuckin radiator

thicker than a snicker

[hard drift]

it's a distro plate

[jaunty light]

lower

[hard drift]

triple rad

[jaunty light]

thickness!

[hard drift]

yup lol

[sly elk]

eh

beats the ftw3 hybrid 😄

[hard drift]

they're huge for almost no reason lol

[sly elk]

somehow they made the card look boring

got rid of the best part with that tiny rgb bar

[hard drift]

i like it

but then again i hate rgb lol

[jaunty light]

BUT BLINKY

LIGHTS

[hard drift]

yeah....no

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-disco-dance-party-fake-gif-5619872

[sly elk]

see

little tiny rgb bar

[hard drift]

ewwww

[jaunty light]

if your PC isn't a sleazy cyberpunk stripclub, what's the point?

[hard drift]

only rgb i have is my keyboard

i disable the rest

[jaunty light]

you should be ashamed of yourself

[dull garnet]

my mobo has rear firing red LEDs

h8

[hard drift]

rip

[dull garnet]

i'll desolder them if i ever have the board out

[hard drift]

nah rgb is a waste

[dull garnet]

this motherboard doesn't have an RGB off option in the bios

[hard drift]

wtf

[jaunty light]

rgb is a sign of the highest quality design and components

nobody would ever slap RGB on something to hide a crappy product

[dull garnet]

and I don't want to use a piece of software to turn em off

[hard drift]

lol

[sly elk]

mmm

ok that's one thing I like about my maximus xi hero board

it does have an option in bios

[hard drift]

rgb if it was removed i would be much happier

[sly elk]

but I have it set to rainbow 24/7 mode 😄

[hard drift]

....

[jaunty light]

we are sending you back to 1950, when life wasn't yet in color.

[hard drift]

lol

[modest moss]

why not?

[hard drift]

it just draws more energy for no gain

[sly elk]

not much

[dull garnet]

bloat

[sly elk]

not wanting the software is a legit reason

[jaunty light]

the solution is simple, we remove RGB, replace it with CMYK

[hard drift]

more than enough to keep it off

[modest moss]

wouldn't they stay off after removing the software or nah?

[sly elk]

but yea I like sleazy cyberpunk vibes

[dull garnet]

msi's mystic light software is like 100s of MB for some reason

[hard drift]

not always, it really depends

[dull garnet]

there is MSIRGB but i found it wasn't a great workaround

and yeah the behaviour is weird

[modest moss]

buy a less shit mobo

[jaunty light]

just address it via CLI

[dull garnet]

hey

its a B450 Tomahawk okay

its a good board

[hard drift]

true

[jaunty light]

it's msi

impossible

[dull garnet]

this board rocks

[hard drift]

nah tomahawk is allowed

[dull garnet]

honestly the best motherboard I've owned

[sly elk]

b450 Tomohawk was the /r/pcmr board

[jaunty light]

<MANY PEOPLE STARTED TYPING>

[sly elk]

like there was a discord i was in

where the regulars in the build advice section would yell at people who chose an x570

[dull garnet]

running a 5600X on it now

[sly elk]

until they changed their pcpartpicker to say b450 tomohawk

[hard drift]

the tomohawk was just extremely good for price and features

[dull garnet]

I mean why would you go X570 if you don't need pcie4

[jaunty light]

listen, I quite like my like 10 fucking USB ports on the hero

[sly elk]

plus with rgb you can do cute rgb themes

[jaunty light]

because I use every single one of em

[sly elk]

like christmas lights 🙂

[hard drift]

just get a usb hub

[jaunty light]

that's what a poor would do

[dull garnet]

i use like

3 USB ports

sorry, 4

[hard drift]

nah, i would rather spend the money on a better part than extra usb ports lol

[dull garnet]

kb, mouse, amp dac and microsoft controller receiver

[sly elk]

besides i have my computer in a bright room

[hard drift]

i use like 6 and one is in my keyboard

[sly elk]

so it doesn't really affect the lighting in the room any

[dull garnet]

what the hell is that case

[sly elk]

well

[hard drift]

inwin usually does weird cases

[sly elk]

i like weird cases

[dull garnet]

looks like a fish tank

[sly elk]

when i turn the computer on, the top opens up

[jaunty light]

KB/M, tablet, scanner, BD writer, audio interface, stream deck.. it do add up

[sly elk]

when I turn it off, it closes

[hard drift]

like look at this thing

inwin is crazy

[sly elk]

yep

[jaunty light]

that's uh

hideous!

[sly elk]

yep

[dull garnet]

the heck

[hard drift]

pretty sure they've done worse ones lmfao

[dull garnet]

but I'm a gamer inwin

a gamer

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-they-should-gif-4683433

[sly elk]

but yea I was sold on having a weird case hardly anyone else does and then

[dull garnet]

I guess you could do eGPU potentially

[jaunty light]

a 1/16 scale gundam!

[sly elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp_oQF19kQM

2 GPUs ago 😄

[modest moss]

don't mention eGPU or Bidori will never stfu

[hard drift]

-.- just for that i'm going to be quiet :p

[sly elk]

hey I did like the asus gundam case

[hard drift]

just get this inwin case basically gundam

[sly elk]

llol

i was joking abouit that the other day

[jaunty light]

roblox lookin ass

discount gundam lookin ass

mcdonalds play pen for kids lookin ass case

[sly elk]

there's always that

[dull garnet]

it has a vented front so

[hard drift]

i hate to say this inwin but i'm pretty sure that's yellow and white not just white

[dull garnet]

i wouldn't mind

[sly elk]

these things remind me of that alien from that one movie

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/orange-justice-gif-22420284

[dull garnet]

what was bidort saying about egpu

[hard drift]

nothing 😭

[sly elk]

inwin does have a really dumb case

[jaunty light]

eGPus are the greatest value on earth, buy your GIGABYTE AORUS MASTER ULTRA GAMER BOX now use code bidoriway for 2% off

[hard drift]

😔

[hard drift]

i wish i was sponsored lol

[dull garnet]

I was considering the 303 before

[hard drift]

you want this case?

[sly elk]

the medieval metal 509 is like $1000

[hard drift]

whoever took that product photo should be fired

[jaunty light]

I hope that fan is installed in a sealed acrylic panel just for hte looks

[sly elk]

holy fuck

https://shop.in-win.com/products/509-medieval-metal

they dropped the price to $199

[hard drift]

it's not sealed it has a gap

[hard drift]

for 200 that isn't awful but the ventilation....

[sly elk]

i want it >>

[jaunty light]

i aint paying $200 for it unless it has a certificate of authenticity from the pope himself

[hard drift]

https://shop.in-win.com/collections/signature-product/products/ztower just buy this people will know you're rich

[dull garnet]

bullshit mods

[jaunty light]

it looks dreadful

[sly elk]

sold out

[hard drift]

[dull garnet]

not bad but

it's no Lian Li Yacht

[hard drift]

i actually like that....

submersion build

[dull garnet]

lian li used to make good shit

now their cases look like any old shit largely

😔

[sly elk]

i want the pc-ck101

[dull garnet]

ahaha

[hard drift]

cool cases are pretty dead

[dull garnet]

oh wow

[hard drift]

oh shit have it actually run the tracks

[dull garnet]

[sly elk]

https://youtu.be/UH-OodqsT7g?t=8

[dull garnet]

you will never have a copper motherboard tray

what's the mcfucking point

[jaunty light]

that copper case probably worth millions now

[hard drift]

can we please get better coolers rather than the same cases every day

[dull garnet]

and the copper Thermalright Ultra Extreme!

[sly elk]

hehe

[jaunty light]

better cooler u say?

here it is

[sly elk]

that's the only way i'd buy an air coooler

copper

[hard drift]

[dull garnet]

I was using a TRUE until just a few years back

[sly elk]

but yea, that's why i have that weird inwin case ❤️

[jaunty light]

whats WRONG bidori

[dull garnet]

the aluminium was pretty oxidised though

[jaunty light]

ULTIMATE COOLER

oh jesus!

[hard drift]

pure copper bad, we need copper/aluminum combo heatsinks

[jaunty light]

what the fuck is this abomination

dfshjdfdsw

[dull garnet]

CNPS9900

[hard drift]

mac pro cheesegrater thing

[dull garnet]

i used to run a 9700

[hard drift]

i've seen things like this for memory

[jaunty light]

hell yeah bro

[dull garnet]

Ruby was soul

[jaunty light]

booty window

[sly elk]

heh remember the dune pro case

[dull garnet]

I'd still quite like a Silverstone TJ07

[jaunty light]

ya it's nice

[dull garnet]

tank

[sly elk]

yea some silverstone cases are really cool

and afaik fully aluminum

[jaunty light]

nice mbx

[dull garnet]

yeah

[sly elk]

having owned a couple of aluminum cases before, I love them

[dull garnet]

i used to have a full tower Lian Li in aluminium

[sly elk]

sweet

[dull garnet]

it was super dated lol

[sly elk]

but I do love how when they're empty they weigh like nothing

[dull garnet]

had to take a dremel to it

👀

[hard drift]

what are those chips or whatever on the bottom

[dull garnet]

black things?

[dull garnet]

just anchor points for cable ties

I believe that was my Q6600 / 4890 system

[hard drift]

[hard drift]

oh okay

[sly elk]

🙂

[dull garnet]

another Silvestone I really liked was the RV02

[sly elk]

liked the original version of that case

[dull garnet]

the 01?

looks needlessly large

[sly elk]

the ft02

[dull garnet]

ohh

[sly elk]

i think ti's the same frame as the rv02

in pure silver it's soooo deliciously boring looking

but it still has the 5 5.25" bays

also the concealed cables in the back are coooool

[dull garnet]

my friend found one of these NOS and put his 3900X build in it

[sly elk]

NICE

I like those

it's like a g5 without the handles :\

[dull garnet]

oh man

i love the G5

atx prepared g5 was something I wanted to do for a while

[sly elk]

I have a g5 sitting in the garage

am hoping it wasn't ruined by the rats in the garage

[dull garnet]

rat house rat house

[sly elk]

my desk back in those days

[hard drift]

i want a rat shaped case

[sly elk]

lol

[hard drift]

this was my old desk years ago.... that is so much bigger than mine lol

[sly elk]

and yea there's a fan controller and a random LED fan inside there. the memory controller cooling sucked

[jaunty light]

This looks like an AC or industrial fridge

[sly elk]

that is one tiny desk

glad ya upgraded!

I still have my old desk, but I got a bigger one last year

[hard drift]

it was some ikea desk, was using it until like a year or two ago

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

my mom bought those for my brother and I back in like 2002

[dull garnet]

https://i.imgur.com/W8sMt.jpg old ass pic but you can see it

[sly elk]

so despite what reddit says about tempered glass hehe

fancy speakers

[jaunty light]

Glass everywherE

[hard drift]

tempered glass is pretty dang strong

[dull garnet]

fuck that desk

[sly elk]

it looks too short

[jaunty light]

My fake ikea detolf did have a warning

Thst there is a small chance the glass would explode during assembly

Like magic apparently

[dull garnet]

another Lian Li i liked was the PC-A05

[jaunty light]

Wait why havent we watercooled PSUs yet

[sly elk]

that is pretty

we have

i'm not brave enough but

[jaunty light]

I need my D RGB psu

[sly elk]

hey i wanted that motherboard

[hard drift]

Why would you…

[dull garnet]

there is a watercooled PSU

[jaunty light]

SPEED

POWER

[dull garnet]

https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/a-liquid-cooled-power-supply-sounds-like-a-terrible-idea-but-it-exists/

[jaunty light]

and rgb

[hard drift]

🤨

[sly elk]

before the g5 I had that g4

[hard drift]

Fuck your rgb lol

[dull garnet]

isn't that display like 2560x1600?

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

nah that one was 1920x1200

[dull garnet]

ah

[sly elk]

the crazy thing was i bought those new and they were like 5 year sold

[dull garnet]

I wanted a Dell U3011 for the longest time for that res

[sly elk]

I wish I didn't get rid of it

[dull garnet]

and then 4K became a thing

[sly elk]

but the back of the stand broke off when I was moving it one day 😦

[dull garnet]

actually what I really wanted was an IBM T221

[sly elk]

I really loved that old aesthetic

[dull garnet]

3840x2400 on a 22" screen in 2001

[sly elk]

here, now let's go older

i think this was like 2003

[dull garnet]

lmao

[sly elk]

I remember that

that screen was godzilla

geez the power brick lol

[dull garnet]

I think it has fans

[sly elk]

sounds about right

[dull garnet]

and you need to drive each half of it seperately

[jaunty light]

Bussin

[sly elk]

yep

[jaunty light]

Do 4k144 displays still have fans

[sly elk]

some do

also anything with a 2nd gen gsync module has a fan

[jaunty light]

I actually dunno if my aw2721d has one, i dont think it does

[dull garnet]

also it is like 24Hz without mods

lmao

[jaunty light]

Oh i might then

[sly elk]

AM, it depends

did your monitor have the gsync sticker?

[dull garnet]

why would a modern monitor need a fan

technology is good now

[jaunty light]

Gsync ~ultimate~

[sly elk]

yep

then it has the fan 😄

[hard drift]

miniled has fans or something like that

[dull garnet]

:o

[jaunty light]

Why gpu need fans

[hard drift]

mini/micro idk but new ones are needing it because of the heat

[jaunty light]

We have the technology!

[dull garnet]

you were saying

[hard drift]

one example

[dull garnet]

okay fair enough

[hard drift]

a monitor that i actually want because it can truly do hdr

[jaunty light]

Tbf my monitor gets hot

[dull garnet]

my monitor has that fake ass HDR400 cert

lmao

[sly elk]

hehe

IPS screens suck at HDR

[dull garnet]

yeah

[jaunty light]

2721d hdr is ok

[hard drift]

yeah, most do

[jaunty light]

Not great but passable

[dull garnet]

my monitor is cold to the touch

lol

S2721DGF

I think some plasma TVs had fans too

🔥

[hard drift]

for a low low price of 2.9k you too can have hdr

[jaunty light]

1400nits!

Mine does 700

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/sunlight-blind-gif-9818319

[hard drift]

yeah and nearly 1400 zones

[sly elk]

so the one thing I don't understand

[dull garnet]

I thought HDR began at 1000 nits

[sly elk]

is why people buy alienware monitors and then vesa mount them

[hard drift]

technically hdr needs 1k to truly be hdr

[sly elk]

usually the similar-or-better LG costs less

(not always though)

[jaunty light]

I mounted mine lol

[sly elk]

I guess the warranty

i bought mine because i liked the stand

[jaunty light]

Is there a 1440 240 lg?

[dull garnet]

my Sony TV w/ VA panel is 1K nits but I've yet to find a source that demonstrates HDR in an appreciable way

[jaunty light]

My tv peaks well over 1200 i believe

[hard drift]

i refuse to turn my monitor to 1k nits

[jaunty light]

For desktop 700 is deadly bright though

[hard drift]

my old monitor was like 200-300 nits so it's too bright for me lmao

[modest moss]

you guys have nits?

they make special shampoo for that

[jaunty light]

Nits and nips here

[hard drift]

[sly elk]

i have my screen at 30% brightness

does that mean i'm a vampire?

[jaunty light]

Yes

[hard drift]

sounds about like me lol

[modest moss]

in the UK they call head lice 'nits'

[jaunty light]

[dull garnet]

hehe fanny

[modest moss]

bum bag here

fanny = vagina

[sly elk]

is that a bougie fanny pack

oh my

[dull garnet]

its made of labia

[sly elk]

WHY

[hard drift]

...

[dull garnet]

[sly elk]

it seems those things are in style again

[modest moss]

bumbag mate

[dull garnet]

I've seen people wear something similar across the body on the tube

[modest moss]

some of the kids at my school wore their bum bags like that, I think they wanted them to be like underarm holsters

[potent arrow]

if I ever catch people wearing a bumbag im filling it with the nastiest grease i can find

[sly elk]

Sooooooo

Everyone looking forward to 2022?

[hard drift]

No

[modest moss]

I've been in it for 3.5hrs

it's the same

[sly elk]

Aw ok

It’s 4.5 hours away here

[dull garnet]

Why am I still awake

[potent arrow]

In going to die

[atomic falcon]

has anyone had an issue where when they load into E4S they hard crash with a DX11 error? it's the only fight i have issues with that just makes me pc lose it's mind.

[deep sapphire]

sounds like a file corruption issue

you can try using the quick launcher and scan the files

[atomic falcon]

it's also not just me, my 4 other friends had the same exact issue

[deep sapphire]

hmmm thats odd

[atomic falcon]

some aren't using the quick launcher and some are

i had this issue in shadowbringers too

[deep sapphire]

4 other people having the exact same issue would make it null impossible to pin point if it was something on the client end

unless they had similar hardware configurations

[atomic falcon]

i think we all have different hardware configs

[deep sapphire]

can you run a dxdiag for me and share it to me in a PM so I can take a look, ask your friends what graphics card they run and also what audio hardware they use

[atomic falcon]

yup gotcha

that wasnt Sega GT I can say that, not really sure what would've been with the probe

fastest car in Sega GT was the Dodge Viper GTS-R

[dull garnet]

Sure it wasn't the Supra?

I had the Tom's Supra in Gran Turismo

[deep sapphire]

not in Sega GT no

[sly elk]

i couldn't play sega gt on my xbox

[deep sapphire]

Gran Turismo yeah

[sly elk]

it made the controller vibrate way too much

I think I ended up having to turn that off

[deep sapphire]

however I dont know if Sega GT had regional differences

maybe in other regions it was different but not sure

[sly elk]

the oldschool (small) xbox controller could vibrate my hands off

when they said rumble they meant it

[dull garnet]

I never played SEGA GT 😔

Or 2002

[sly elk]

it was probably at least 2006 when i had it

i dunno

[dull garnet]

Imagine trying to compete with Gran Turismo 3

[deep sapphire]

Sega GT wasnt as good but I had it for the Dreamcast and 2002 on Xbox and they were okay

but Sega GT had some decent content

just the handling was kinda meh

I remember if you upgraded the Viper GTS-R it was literally impossible to drive

[modest moss]

I remember Sega Rally in the arcade, Celica vs that Lancia

[deep sapphire]

you'd try to steer and it'd go right into the wall

[modest moss]

that was fun af

[deep sapphire]

yeah Sega Rally was great

[dull garnet]

Best reason to own a Saturn

[deep sapphire]

it sucks we never got a home port of daytona usa 2

atleast we got outrun 2

[sly elk]

i remembewr the pc version of it

[deep sapphire]

you must be remembering test drive or something

[sly elk]

iirc the pc version of daytona was an incredibly lazy port

[deep sapphire]

yeah

and then they made CCE (Champion Circuit Edition)

which while better, still wasnt really Daytona USA lol

[deep sapphire]

they never really got it right on the home ports except for the XBLA/PS3 version

[deep sapphire]

sexy

[dull garnet]

I see no Celica in this car list

Besides stock ones

[deep sapphire]

I defo remember a tom's celica in the game

is this sega gt?

[dull garnet]

Yes

Hell yea dood

https://igcd.net/game.php?id=30072024

[glossy timber]

honk

drunk

[deep sapphire]

huh

weird

[glossy timber]

[deep sapphire]

guess it was a supra

I know the celica exists which is what they used in sega rally just thought it was also in sega gt

[deep sapphire]

no u

[odd sand]

I totally forgot about the viper. I haven't seen one of those in like ten years

[glossy timber]

no u no u

should i go to bed or should i keep drinking

[dull garnet]

I saw one when I went to Silverstone

[glossy timber]

its 5am

[dull garnet]

90s vibes

[sly elk]

hmm this reminds me

i should check if recalbox has saturn emu setup

[deep sapphire]

keep drinking

because if you go to bed then the fun ends

[dull garnet]

mednafen is p gud for Saturn

[deep sapphire]

and you wake up feeling like shit

[glossy timber]

im kinda wasted

[deep sapphire]

https://youtu.be/zmY2c8lDHZQ?t=216

ahhh this brings back memories

[glossy timber]

dreamcast my balls

[dull garnet]

I wish I played this when I had a DC

Maybe I'll emulate to try it

[deep sapphire]

isnt AMD announcing something next month

well I guess technically this month for euros

I love how the menus are english but the descriptions are japanese

what they were too lazy to make it all one language?

[sly elk]

there aren't many

[deep sapphire]

😔

delete this

sorry I just have such a bad experience with AMD in the past

I cant trust them

im glad they are doing better now

but I will never own another AMD product again lol

[sly elk]

iirc i showed ya a couple asus z690 d4 boards and you wanted one with the 7 segment LED post code thing didn't ya

lol

[deep sapphire]

even if intel performs worse, I've never had a single issue with any of their chipsets causing me headaches

[sly elk]

if it wasn';t you

[dull garnet]

2600X was kinda meh wasn't it

[deep sapphire]

AMD chipsets I swear you are chasing a ghost for any stupid problem

[sly elk]

I remember someone talking about it 😄

[deep sapphire]

it was cause it wasnt zen 2

zen 1 was pretty dog shit

atleast for gaming

[dull garnet]

Might have been a lazy localisation, though English isn't uncommon in Japanese games

[deep sapphire]

and the chipsets had a lot of bugs

[dull garnet]

I had a 2600 and I thought it was only okay, I guess my 5600X did cost about double though

[modest moss]

you guys seen SE's new year lettter?

[deep sapphire]

I read it earlier yeah

[modest moss]

they're going balls deep in NFTs and blockchain games

[deep sapphire]

https://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/news/2022/html/a_new_years_letter_from_the_president_2.html

[deep sapphire]

oh I read the ffxiv one

thats what I thought you meant haha

[dull garnet]

Fuck SE

[deep sapphire]

SE has always been abunch of greedy fucks

so im not surprised

from being the first company to sell you a 70 dollar PC game as the base edition to giving you consumable one time use DLC in a single player game

[sly elk]

I find it weird that some have rgb and still don't have the post code screen

[deep sapphire]

go play sega gt

[dull garnet]

Dr Debug?

The fuck

[modest moss]

you sick fuck

[deep sapphire]

watching this car list video, I remember when TRD was their entire performance division

[dull garnet]

That sounds kinda good

[deep sapphire]

guess they got sick of people calling them turd

I'd eat that

holy shit

the Supra was 508 HP

the Viper was 500

oh no america bros

we got too cocky

give me some

[dull garnet]

I imagine you could tune the viper but not the supra race car

Like in gee tee

[deep sapphire]

yeah im not sure, I do know you could tune the shit out of the viper because if you did the drag racing event the hardest car was a fully tuned viper

[potent arrow]

fcKIN HMPPY NEWYES @deep sapphire @deep sapphire @modest moss @dull garnet @dull garnet

[modest moss]

dodge viper is probably a top 3 American car name

[potent arrow]

Sdpeddd :,hey,:

%<3

[deep sapphire]

Chrysler comes up with some cool names

[dull garnet]

[modest moss]

pontiac firebird is #1

[deep sapphire]

SCREAMING CHICKEN

[dull garnet]

Hi Sarahhh

TRANS AM

[potent arrow]

TRANS I AM

[deep sapphire]

Trans Am is an iconic name

I miss Pontiac

but of course GM fucked them up

[modest moss]

yeah trans am might be the last of the top 3, but (don't get mad Hank) the Mustang has to be considered

[potent arrow]

GET UT BCESE I WAS MAIL NO IM NUT

[deep sapphire]

I like the Mustang

[dull garnet]

I wonder what the mpg of one of those is

Like 2

[deep sapphire]

the 3000 hp Viper?

haha

yeah

[modest moss]

1

I bet 1

[dull garnet]

Naw, any Pontiac

[potent arrow]

2!

3.4.5..5..6...7....8..8.........

[deep sapphire]

well they used an identical motor to anything chevy made

I think my favorite fact is the Corvette can get 30+ MPH on the highway

because its so low and a smooth wedge design

they allow you to skip shift from 1st to 4th gear

and then set it to 6th for cruise

[dull garnet]

I should hope it could achieve speeds above 30 mph

That's the law

[deep sapphire]

oh lul

MPH

MPG**

[modest moss]

chevy corvette isn't a top 3 car name but it'd get an honourable mention

[deep sapphire]

Silverado is the coolest name right : - )

[dull garnet]

Oh oh

[deep sapphire]

[dull garnet]

Corvette Stingray

[modest moss]

oh that

that's it

[deep sapphire]

what about the Mustang Boss

or Judge

[dull garnet]

AC Cobra

Wait that's British

Shelby Cobra

Wait I'm wrong

[deep sapphire]

Shelby is american

[modest moss]

nah, we have our 3... dodge viper, corvette stingray, pontiac firebird

[deep sapphire]

but to your credit the GT40 was british designed

[dull garnet]

No wait AC is British

[modest moss]

I'm locking those names in

[dull garnet]

As is the RS200

The coolest car ever

[modest moss]

idc if the cars are shit

[deep sapphire]

the original Dodge Viper is the funniest car ever, it had no windows

it had no door handles

it was literally just a Shelby Roadster sequel with a deathtrap V8

[modest moss]

the car I always wanted was a Lotus Carlton

[deep sapphire]

sorry V10

[dull garnet]

PLYMOUTH ROADRUNNER

I enjoyed watching all of Seinfeld between October and December

Started on Curb today

[deep sapphire]

curb is great

curb your enthusiasm

I love the episode when his neighbor's daughter gets boob implants and she comes over to his house asking him to feel them and then his wife walks in

and he's like no wait I can explain

[dull garnet]

First episode his wife's friend thinks she gave him a boner, but it was just the pants tent ⛺

[deep sapphire]

hahahaha

David is such a great writer

[dull garnet]

And he calls his wife Hitler on a speaker call while the other dude's Jewish parents are sat in the car

[deep sapphire]

hahahahahaha

[dull garnet]

So they make up some lie about him calling to apologise

And then the lady they made the lie up about greets them at dinner and he realises what a fuck up he's made an then the curb music plays

Good stuff

[deep sapphire]

The composer of all of these is in the comments of one of these videos

Said he had like a week to compose em all

[deep sapphire]

sounds about right

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQMPApvLF1Q

yeah he's cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSHYuAPEvmU this was one of his first games he composed lmao

kinda random thinking about it

I think its weird that racing games list Acura as american even though its just the luxury division of Honda lol

I mean I guess its technically HQ'd in the states but I wouldnt really say its american

[dull garnet]

Wish this played as good as it looked

[deep sapphire]

I heard the JP version (Not US Tuned) plays better

why they even play differently is beyond me

3000GT VR4 is a sick car

[dull garnet]

Uh in GT1 they were still called GTO ackshully

[deep sapphire]

same in Sega GT

[dull garnet]

3000GT was in GT2

[deep sapphire]

but in the US they were named 3000GT

EU/JP they were named GTO

but Pontiac had the GTO name before them so I think they changed it to avoid copyright issues

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_GTO#1964

[dull garnet]

https://youtu.be/i_HkB4Z4aSs

[deep sapphire]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_GTO

[dull garnet]

And that's the US ver of the game

GTO twinturbo could be tuned to like 930hp

[deep sapphire]

Sega GT did the same thing, they just called it the GTO

wtf no Dodge Stealth

GROSS

[dull garnet]

Dodge Concept Car was a bonus car in GT1

[deep sapphire]

mfw people call the Stealth a DSM when it was made in Japan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-Star_Motors

only true car nerds know what DSM means

[deep sapphire]

Copperhead?

I think it was called

remember that viper bike concept they made lol

[dull garnet]

Seems it, just called "concept car" in game

[potent arrow]

okay I will

[dull garnet]

My dad was telling me about Japanese motorcycles with turbos the other day

And how they were deathtraps

[deep sapphire]

oh they were

the Kawasaki Ninja Turbo was nuts

I think Ducati makes the fastest bike now dont they?

[sly elk]

i saw this on reddit

that looks hilarious :]

[deep sapphire]

Intel never has future proofed chipsets other than the one they just made

[sly elk]

it just dwarfs the tiny 3060/70

[deep sapphire]

but frankly I dont even care because its rare for most people to buy a new CPU for an old mobo

[dull garnet]

Looks like a 3060 Ti

[sly elk]

I thought long and hard about upgrading from 9700k to 9900k

[dull garnet]

Isn't like that card is small... 🥲

[sly elk]

it was one of my regrets haha

saving that $100 in the name of "I probably don't need it"

[dull garnet]

No HT

Gamer moment

[deep sapphire]

People are lighting fireworks

It’s fuckin like -3 degrees out

[sly elk]

mmm

you could find a clearance blowout 11700k

and not change your motherboard or ram

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire also look at the truck on your truck

[deep sapphire]

Hahaha

Omg

[sly elk]

i thought about buying a 12700k and z690 as well, but I'm not sure about using my good ole corsair ddr3000 ram on it

and really I don't want an even hotter cpu

the good news is ram is cheap

?

lol

oh hey he's using an XS

or a regular X?

[deep sapphire]

I took that like a year ago or so

I’m on a 12 Pro Max

[sly elk]

lol

oh

i use an xs 😄

[deep sapphire]

That was an XS Max

[sly elk]

lol excess max

[deep sapphire]

I ONLY GO TO THE MAX BABY YEAH

[potent arrow]

lst one hank

[sly elk]

HANK HAS BIG HANDS

[deep sapphire]

What amazing art

I love it

[sly elk]

there are certain gestures that I damn near drop my phone doing

it's sad

[deep sapphire]

No trust me it’s not a good one hand phone

If you use 1 hand texting stay with the regular

[sly elk]

i think the biggest phone i've ever had was a 7+

[deep sapphire]

Max is just slightly larger than the plus

Just far more screen obviously

[sly elk]

i sold it and was planning to get a newer one, and then had a surprise big expense and ended up buying my dumb bro's extra gs9 instead

[deep sapphire]

Yea

[sly elk]

the gs9 was a great phone

it fit in my hand nicely AND had a headphone jack

[deep sapphire]

Galaxy phones are good too

[sly elk]

but I hate the rounded edges on the screen

[deep sapphire]

Just don’t like bixby and 2 year updates

[sly elk]

yea fuck bixby

hehe

[deep sapphire]

Plus they lock the firmware so if you try to root it they block camera features now

Like wtf is that

[sly elk]

hehe

[potent arrow]

milkfuckee

[sly elk]

in a weird twisted way, I feel more in control of apple phones

[potent arrow]

someone take away photoshop before I go to the bar again

[sly elk]

at least, in regards to modern android phones

one day the manufacturer slips out a new update and next thing you know, your alarm clock has fucking ads in it

[dull garnet]

Samsung?

[sly elk]

the biggest thing that turned me off was carrier branding
