I've heard people used to use aquarium pumps

dull garnet
#

dreamy chasm
#

Now you just get premade kits

sly elk
#

old school water cooling was very sketch

dreamy chasm
#

Ripped this from an instructables site

dreamy chasm
#

God

sly elk
#

it looks QUIET

#

there's one thing I can't find proof of existing from that era

dull garnet
#

you know what I used to really want

sly elk
#

when cases first started going crazy with front IO

deep sapphire
dull garnet
#

an acrylic case

sly elk
#

there were a couple of companies that went as far as making cases with front parallel and serial ports

dreamy chasm
#

I used to game on a core 2duo with a 5450 shoved into it as a kid

sly elk
#

also that fatality case

dull garnet
#

i gamed on a P4 with an FX-5600

sly elk
#

man it looks like it is hella thick aluminum

dreamy chasm
#

Locked gaming motherboards in this era

#

💀

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

ooo holy crap

deep sapphire
#

"if only you knew how bad things were"

dull garnet
#

i had a fatal1ty sound card

sly elk
#

I was looking for proof these existed and stumbled upon it haha

dreamy chasm
#

Was it shit

dull garnet
#

nah it was the shit

#

creative fatal1ty x-fi GAMER

dreamy chasm
#

I see

jaunty light
#

gamer features

#

epic 3d

dull garnet
#

XFX weirdly did a silent 7600GT with his branding

dreamy chasm
#

I've only really used onboard till now

nocturne fractal
#

well i fixed the micro stuttering.. my fps was was shooting up and down so i just limited it.. it was going back and forth between 190+ and 120fps

dull garnet
#

sound cards were a pretty big thing

#

when onboard was shit

#

but especially more so in the 90s

#

with all the sound standards

deep sapphire
#

this game had a fuckin weird soundtrack

#

THIS GAME WAS RATED FOR KIDS

dull garnet
#

Dreamcast owners man...

deep sapphire
#

that opel speedster tho

dull garnet
#

in europe we call that the Vauxhall VX220

#

FUN FACT

#

first saw one in project gotham racing

sly elk
#

hahaha this case

deep sapphire
#

it sold like shit so they slightly remade it and called it PGR lol

dull garnet
dreamy chasm
jaunty light
#

look at all that IO

dreamy chasm
#

Thankfully

deep sapphire
#

lan party handles

dreamy chasm
#

My mb had shielded traces, apparently

#

I'd believe them

dull garnet
#

also sound cards became frowned upon in favour of external dac/amps cus of electrical shit in your pc

#

my last sound card was like 2014, Xonar DX

dreamy chasm
#

Yeah, I had no issues on my end

#

At least, from a casual users standpoint

sly elk
#

I'm kinda thrilled i found the model number haha

#

after all these years

dreamy chasm
#

That must weigh a ton

dull garnet
#

enermax huh

#

they used to make some cool psus

dreamy chasm
#

They're still the oem for some companies if I'm not mistaken

sly elk
#

oh it was a serial port

#

actually wait no

#

that's a joystick port

dull garnet
#

yeah, yellow is game port

#

get your gravis gamepad on

sly elk
#

it's pretty funny to look back on now

#

I used to mock these things

#

because at that time I was hard on the apple kool aid of "everything should be usb"

#

at least enermax used a proper firewire port

#

haha sorry i'll shut up now ^^

dreamy chasm
#

Composite video out existed for far longer than it had any right to be

#

ngl

#

And, firewire

#

It's been a long time since ive heard that

dull garnet
#

i used firewire exactly once

#

and that was for recording from a mini dv camcorder

#

my friend's dad had a shuttle pc around when doom 3 came out

#

i thought that was hella cool at the time

#

Pentium 4 + 9800 Pro

paper tusk
#

I miss the weird cases

sly elk
#

mini itx is pretty similar, no?

dull garnet
#

yeah

#

but this was 2003!

modest moss
#

beefy 250w psu

dull garnet
#

I don't think I saw anything more than 500W for a decent amount of time

sly elk
#

Sigh

#

It kinda interferes with the water cooling tubes lol

#

If I slide the radiator back I could make the tubes go behind it?

modest moss
#

dust your shit

sly elk
#

No!

modest moss
#

state of that gpu

#

and you're worried about cables

jaunty light
#

yeah look at those ugly default cables

sly elk
#

The GPU is getting a matching cable

#

Just not today

jaunty light
sly elk
jaunty light
#

I might still get one depends

sly elk
jaunty light
#

I guess if I do decide to waste a ton of money on a loop

#

the one time I dont have shadowplay running I have actual nutty 1v3 and miss 0 shots

sly elk
#

I can make it sound faster

#

Clack clack clack

#

I can’t wait to hide these ones in the back again haha

jaunty light
#

lol my dad has the white edition of the rm750 I think but damn

#

the 8pin pcie cables are so ugly

#

and now PSUs with anything on em are pretty much defunct since most cases have a shroud anyawys

#

Or you get that rog psu that is designed wrong as 99% of cases are bottom psu mount

sly elk
#

Here I cleaned the cables up 🙂

#

Now tor some canned air

dull garnet
#

You guys and your nothing issues

jaunty light
#

Excuse me i like beautifying things

#

Its like glamour for ur pc

dull garnet
#

I'm awful at glamour

jaunty light
#

I aint surprised

dull garnet
#

Wait kyanche had 3 different types of cabling

jaunty light
#

yup

#

a fancy eps cable, because your CPU is worth it

#

that GPU is just an EVGA though

sly elk
jaunty light
#

deserves no fancy anything since it's just gonna light on fire soon

sly elk
#

I hit it with the air duster

#

Why does it look so uneven sheesh

jaunty light
#

your problem here is the lack of custom loop!

sly elk
#

Maybe my hand was too shaken?

#

I think the heat sink looks crooked

dull garnet
#

I'm tripping out looking at your video card

sly elk
#

Right?!

#

It’s weird

dull garnet
#

I can't decide if it's wonky or completely straight

jaunty light
#

hold it straight yo

sly elk
#

It looks wonky

#

Oh I get it

#

The shroud is curved inwards in the middle

dull garnet
#

Yeah, it does look thinner there

sly elk
#

But yeah I have a triple 8 pin cable on order 🙂 so then there will only be 2 types of cables visible

jaunty light
#

strimer eps cable when

sly elk
#

Lol

jaunty light
#

is the 24 pin a full length

#

like uhh, the light stick things are end to end

sly elk
#

Aw man I can’t find another sata cable

jaunty light
#

I can send you an orange sata2 cable

sly elk
#

Eh it’s like the others, it’s a sleeve on top of a braided cable

jaunty light
dull garnet
#

Do they do rgb sata cables

sly elk
#

But it seems to hit the edges better

modest moss
#

this is all great

#

but

#

got elephant suit

sly elk
#

Ooo pretty

modest moss
#

I hate how default screenshots make the game look so shit

#

looks way better when I'm actually playing

sly elk
#

Man where’d my sata power cables go?!

#

Nvm found it

#

Hehe

#

4?

#

Dang which gpu again?

#

This theme matches lol

#

Dang lol

#

That’s a lot of power

#

Yeah I ordered a triple 8 pin

#

But I bought it from a different store

#

Haha it days if you put all the LEDs white to turn down the brightness

#

That’s funny!

#

Ahhhj technically my side door closes

jaunty light

#

we need this @fair wing person to come and explain wtf

fair wing
#

Oh, they are trying to annoy me, they and their friends, not sure why they really want to annoy me so badly

modest moss
#

well that's shitty

fair wing
#

Yep, even called me ||racist and a p3do||

modest moss
#

I hoped it was something amusing, not harassment

#

should hit up modmail if they keep on

fair wing
#

Sadly, it is harassment, I blocked their friends like a month ago and I think this Toast guy is new, never met him, but I suddenly got added to a groupchat with him on it

spotted dick is a traditional british dessert

#

it's a steamed suet or sponge pudding with raisins/sultanas/currants in it, I forget the specifics

sly elk
#

phew finally closed up the case

modest moss
#

you'd usually eat it with custard

sly elk
#

i wonder if the triple 8 pin needs another sata because I think i'm out of sata power plugs

deep sapphire
modest moss
#

spotted dick ^

fair wing
deep sapphire
#

Are they in here?

fair wing
#

Not sure since I blocked them, maybe you will know it's them if someone tried to mention me for no particular reason

deep sapphire
fair wing
modest moss
#

nah man, you're no trouble

sly elk
#

phew. =looks like both the triple 8 pin and the 24pin can plug into the same controller

modest moss
#

yeah I searched tenor first and was like nope it's not that

sly elk
#

i don't think I have room (or the heart) to shove more cables behind the motherboard lol

#

oy hope everything's ok

I would assume, first, some mobile trash that can be easily disposed of when it does inevitably flop.

#

NFTs will always be a pyramid scheme, like owning a picture of a maid outfit =/= wearing it ingame

sly elk
#

owning a maid outfit =/- wearing it IRL

modest moss
#

you're misunderstanding NFTs anyway

#

you don't own the picture

#

you own a link to the picture

zealous wolf
#

and its still a scam in the long run

#

picture =/= value when i can just copy&paste it to scam out the dumbass gullible to buy it for $10k+

#

its even why theres a DOOM mod where you fight by taking pictures of those crappy NFT monkey's

modest moss
#

yes it's just an even bigger scam than most people think

#

like, you don't even own the art

zealous wolf
#

right deeerppride

sly elk
#

so it's patreon but with more steps

#

and you get a receipt for the transaction

paper tusk
#

reminds me of an am I the ass thread on a marriage breaking itself because one of them pissed away 8k on a copy pasta monkey nft

modest moss
#

I saw that

sly elk
#

like, patreon $50 tier, here's a free exclusive sticker

modest moss
#

"I'm investing in our future, she can't see my vision"

sly elk
#

but worse because the gift is just a digital picture anyone can see

#

so nft websites have to have a picture of the nft, right

#

is it piracy if everyone saves the picture

zealous wolf
#

haha copy&paste go bbrrrrrrrrrr

sly elk
#

oh

#

so it's not even like that huh

zealous wolf
sly elk
#

it's like buying a star

modest moss
#

yeah those mean zero

#

at least when you buy a lordship you're buying a few inches of land in scotland or something

sly elk
#

it's too bad I don't get any

#

my dad's parents were from england

#

but that doesn't count, I guess

#

there are rules

#

i forgot what the rules are but I recall not qualifying

paper tusk
#

oh yeah I dont have any out of country family sofieLost

sly elk
#

yea, I don't qualify lol

#

born after 1983, and I have no idea what my grandfather did because there's like zero written history about him

#

and my dad wasn't a uk citizen

modest moss
#

you don't want to come here anyway

#

there have been 1.1m new covid cases in the last 7 days

sly elk
#

i'm actually not 100% sure my grandfather was english either

#

my grandmother definitely was though

#

i even know what city she was born in xD

modest moss
#

that's like 1/70 of the population tested positive in a week

sly elk
#

iierno, never been so I dunno

#

that's pretty cool

Hank's family history goes back to around 1972

sly elk
#

i'm always impressed by people who are like

#

15, and their parents had them at 15, and their parents' parents had them at 15

#

and so they have like 6 generations of family all alive

modest moss
#

Hank is actually Buzz Lightyear

sly elk
#

it is impressive

#

like they must have the most attractive genes on earth

#

lol

modest moss
#

yeah I dunno if teen pregnancies really count as impressive

sly elk
#

well, let's put it this way. impressive but not in a good way?

modest moss
#

uneducated, socially deprived, etc

sly elk
#

I dunno how else to put that

#

but it still makes me say "wow" whenever I hear of such a story

modest moss
#

here's a word for you, flabbergasted

sly elk
#

sure let's go with that shue ^^

#

yikes

#

that's quite an age difference

modest moss
#

so he's a massive sex pest

sly elk
#

i tend to look at life stages more than that but

#

there's hs, college, post-college

#

I don't really think crossing between those groups works

#

like 25 and 40 , sure

#

it's kinda amazing to think about that

#

must've sucked to live during the time when people only lived till their 40s

#

if everyone learned to program we'd at least get more stuff done

#

I dunno at what point we'd saturate the market

#

but there's a lot of stuff that could use improving lol

deep sapphire
#

lmao

jaunty light
#

nvidia users aren't allowed around these parts

#

we only allow AMD racecars that are driverless

deep sapphire
#

why

#

😔

#

but trucks are great because you can see over other people

I dunno but some american company coined the term in the the 1920s

Hey so I bought the Endwalker DLC on steam and I've went through the Q twice already restarting my game and I still don't have the expansion.

#

What should I do ?

modest moss
#

register the code on mogstation

sly elk
#

I think I am not a truck guy at all either

#

but I've never driven one

low token
#

Where would the code be ? I've checked my emails but haven't gotten anything @modest moss

sly elk
#

I've had a ride in a handful of pickups, nothing recent

modest moss
#

there must be a place in steam to view game codes

sly elk
#

one amusing thing that was common about every pickup I've ridden in

deep sapphire
#

can own a truck

sly elk
#

is there were jumper cables on the floor on the front passenger side

deep sapphire
#

kek

sly elk
#

hank do you have jumper cables there?

deep sapphire
#

random part boxes from autozone as well

#

no I have them in the bed lol

sly elk
#

what if it rains?

deep sapphire
#

I have a camper top

sly elk
#

what's the point of a pickup truck if you put a camper top on it?

low token
#

Found it thanks @modest moss

deep sapphire
#

because it keeps my shit from not getting wet

sly elk
#

this is true

#

but it's also just an suv with more steps

deep sapphire
#

d-delete this

sly elk
#

except you can take the top off, i guess

deep sapphire
#

you arent wrong

#

its a suburban with more work

sly elk
#

what do you think about those soft camper tops?

#

they seem to be en vogue right now

deep sapphire
#

disgusting and probably only found on some douche's tacoma

sly elk
#

i think the hard shells look much better

deep sapphire
#

"check out my taco brah"

#

"my taco"

#

"TACO"

sly elk
#

turd taco

deep sapphire
#

GOD I FUCKIN HATE THAT NAME

#

STOP CALLING IT A TACO

#

even my mom does it

#

she has a 2016 tacoma

#

TACO

#

reeeee

sly elk
#

sometimes i'll see one where they took off the OTA

#

so it says toy taco

deep sapphire
#

thats just gross

#

I would be mad

#

if I saw that

#

and even though my next truck is gonna be a tundra

#

im not a fan of "TRD Pro" on the tailgate"

#

why couldnt they just put tundra lol

sly elk

#

you should see what this dude did in australia

#

# sly elk bruh

tell me you're a rich redneck hunting humans for sport in the woods without telling me you're a rich redneck hunting humans for sport in the woods

sly elk
#

lol

#

seriously though I've been seeing these a lot lately

sly elk
#

the tent brackets get me

deep sapphire
#

no redneck would ever own a japanese brand truck

#

you'd get killed instead driving one

#

almost all of the toyota sales are on the west coast

sly elk
#

yea but

#

they're made in america by non-union labor

deep sapphire
#

I know

#

which is funny

#

but

#

to them

#

the big 3 are the only trucks

sly elk
#

they're sticking it to the lazy libs that work for the UAW

modest moss
sly elk
#

meh

#

in mexico ford calls the F150 the Lobo

#

IMHO that's a way fucking cooler name

#

imagine driving a Ford Wolf Raptor

deep sapphire
#

They are great trucks

sly elk
#

Chevy Colorado!

#

But I dunno man people take truck brands seriously

Dodge Durango

Come on

#

Dodge Rampage

sly elk
#

ah

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

i wanna go to achevy dealer

#

and specifically ask for a mexican silverado 😄

deep sapphire
#

I don’t think they make them in Mexico anymore

sly elk
#

ahhh

#

i thought they made half of them there

deep sapphire
#

Maybe not sure they have 2 plants in Michigan

jaunty light
#

Anything fits with dodge

sly elk
#

hehehe

deep sapphire
#

Yeah fits into a service bay nicely

jaunty light
#

Dodge these shop bills

#

Dodge these safety ratings

deep sapphire
#

Lmao

#

Can’t be as bad as the 2001 f 150

#

Which became internet famous for the crash test

jaunty light
#

Hello, 2002 f150 here

sly elk
deep sapphire
#

You ain’t living from that

sly elk
#

I'm confident my jeep was correctly assembled

#

by drunk people who smoke pot

deep sapphire
#

Funny story

#

The plant GM owned before they made a joint venture with Toyota in California

#

Was notorious for that

modest moss
#

Chevy should make a sports car called the Chase

sly elk
#

my best friend's dad worked there

jaunty light
#

I have a supra crew tho so maybe not as bad as that

deep sapphire
#

I agree shue

sly elk
#

LOL

deep sapphire
#

Nuumi was cool

sly elk
#

nah they need to bring back

#

The Chevrolet Chevrolet

deep sapphire
#

Chevrolet K303772648

sly elk
#

honestly i wanna see them do it

sly elk
#

ya know how they make the presidential limo on a truck frame

deep sapphire
#

Toyota basically saved GM

sly elk
#

they should just make a normal cadillac sedan that way

deep sapphire
#

It’s crazy that plant lasted as long as it did

#

2 competitors building cars together until 2009

sly elk
#

i wonder what they learned from it that they still use

deep sapphire
#

Well I know “kaizen” is wildly adopted with all of manufacturers

#

Which Toyota developed

#

Before that line workers were ignored and were punished for stopping the line if any issues arised

#

Now they expect you to stop the line if you see a defect

#

Before that they just had people fix the cars at the end of the line lmao

sly elk
#

i thought stopping the line was still a big no no

deep sapphire
#

“Nuumi means quality” proceeds to slam the hood

sly elk
#

-emblem falls off front grille-

deep sapphire
sly elk
#

the funniest quality thing I remember in all the cars i've owned

#

on our first chrysler 300, the wires for the trunk lid broke in the middle from opening/closing it a lot?

#

I had to solder them back together >>

#

later on I had to replace the latch because the plastic thing that allowed the electronic latch to disengage broke off

deep sapphire
#

Haha

#

Atleast those are made in Canada

sly elk
#

come to think of it

#

at the height of the whole 'toyota unintentional acceleration' thing

#

i remember someone on lx forums complaining about their gas pedal breaking off

deep sapphire
#

LOL

sly elk
#

because the pedal bracket is made out of plastic

deep sapphire
#

My Camry would have a stuck peddle sometimes

sly elk
#

so they were at a red light and went to hit the gas

#

and the pedal module broke off

#

so they had to use their hand to move the car to the side

deep sapphire
#

And that’s common all peddles are made of plastic now because they are drive by wire

sly elk
#

but it was still funny af

#

unintended lack of acceleration

deep sapphire
#

Surprised that happened on a Lexus of all things

#

That’s probably the only luxury maker I would trust

sly elk
#

lx = 300/charger/magnum

#

not lexus

deep sapphire
#

OOOH

#

Sorry thought you said Lexus

sly elk
#

lexus is tough

#

i think japanese executives are way too egotistical to let little issues blemish their flagship brand's reputation

#

they'd probably consider it a great dishonor to see a lexus on a tow truck

deep sapphire
#

My roommate owned a…. Shit what was it. IS300?

sly elk
#

JimBob Elson Sr the Third wouldnt' give a fuck if the brakes went out on his mom's car if they saved 50 cents using a plastic brake line bracket

deep sapphire
#

Thing had 300,000 miles on it he told me he never changed the trans fluid once lol

#

Yeah they take Lexus super serious

#

You buy a Lexus you know that thing will run forever

sly elk
#

problem

#

now you have to look at that car every day

#

every day you ahve to see this

deep sapphire
#

I don’t mind it on the cars but yeah looks horrible on the SUVs

sly elk
#

i wonder if they make aftermarket front bumpers/grilles that don't look so bad

deep sapphire
sly elk
deep sapphire
#

Looks pretty good to me on the cars

#

Toyota is obsessed with massive grills

#

Look at the Avalon

#

It’s so ugly

sly elk
#

also they can't make a car that looks happy

#

it's like their design ethos

deep sapphire
#

Haha

sly elk
#

"it must look like it's ready to eat your children"

deep sapphire
#

Nothing embodies that more than the Camaro ZL1 1LE

#

That thing is so ridiculously aggressive

sly elk
#

it even has side scoops to take out pedestrians from the side

#

i didn't realize they fixed the ugly grille the 2019 had

#

the zl1 1le kinda reminds me fo a catfish

deep sapphire
#

They got so much backlash for that lmao

sly elk
#

those side things?

#

they did that with all their cars haha

deep sapphire
#

I’m glad they took it seriously and changed it the next year

sly elk
#

it was the like 2018 GM corporate look

#

(I hate it when brands do that)

deep sapphire
#

Nah the center grill design

#

They moved the bow tie up

sly elk
#

why do all car companies like to do a 'let's make all our models look the same!' thing

deep sapphire
#

Ikr

sly elk
#

not sure who's the worst offender

#

audi I guess?

#

the worst part is the current theme of using porsche design language on audis >>

#

I cannot get over the audi taycan

#

Copy and pasting this from #questions-and-help since was told this may be a better place for it:
Hi, so I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, but I'm running FXIV on linux (via lutris/wine) and I'm running into an issue that I can't find on google (leading me to think that it is a wine issue, but I'll ask here just in case) But while moving the camera with right click I am not able to move my character unless I'm not moving the camera. It holds the direction I'm holding but I can't strafe for instance while the camera is moving

Resi 2: In Germany, the PC and Dreamcast version was censored. There are grey blood (even in cutscenes), green blood when bleeding, and the death sequence was censored too. The game was later released uncut.

Resi 3: In Germany, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is fully censored and even includes gray blood and bodies disappearing after a few seconds. The Mercenaries mini-game was also censored too, removing extra time for enemies (except animals), making it impossible to get the infinite ammo. The cut-scenes remained uncensored.

so the current rumor is that Apple's "more affordable consumer oriented" monitor is going to cost $2500+

that doesn't surprise me though. Their upper management all strike me as the kinda people to think a banana costs $10.

well the monitor stand is $1000

and the mac pro wheels are like a $500 option that is $700 if you buy them after the fact

but yea they always seem kinda up their ass about how much things cost

oh I agree

sly elk

for one, they have someone that seems to think monitors shouldn;t make creaking noises when you adjust them

and they are the only company that does

you could buy a $3000 LG or samsung and try to tilt it, and it'll creak sooomuch

i mean their displays i could see being worth it, you're talking the closest thing we have atm to match one of their displays for consumers without going TV is like 3k
