For sure

dreamy chasm
#

All I play is ff anyway haha

#

I was about to buy a 3300x/3100 when i was building but someone offered to get me a 3700x they had for cheap

hard drift
#

You totally need a 5950x for ff smug

dreamy chasm
#

sure, sure

#

I play on capped 60 anyway

#

feels like less of a stuttery mess

hard drift
#

Pain

modest moss
#

I'm playing on a 4690k ffs

hard drift
#

I can’t cap my ff fps it jitters when turning the camera

dreamy chasm
#

time to download prime 95

#

just to see how bad temps go on small ffts

#

kind of intersting what old hardware you can buy these days

#

people selling athlon x2s with an am3 mb for 20

hard drift
#

Neat 😮

glossy timber
#

my mouse was being fucky during raid for two weeks and i somehow didnt figure out that it was only being a fucker in ffxiv

#

i am dumbo sausage

hard drift
#

Rip

glossy timber
#

honestly saves me some money i can just blame ffxiv

dreamy chasm
#

Ive had no issues personally

#

I wonder whats causing it

modest moss
glossy timber
#

i'll try that but it's also changing my mouse binds themself

modest moss
#

sounds more like a reinstall mouse software thing then

glossy timber
#

i did that to no avail

#

and it happens with literally no other games

#

thats whats making me wonder what part of ffxiv is fucking with it

modest moss
#

play xiv with a controller, ez

glossy timber
#

can't argue with that lmao

hard drift
glossy timber
#

its logitech so ghub

#

i've found swapping it to onboard memory mode then back fixes it but

#

hard to do mid pull

hard drift
#

Idk if it does game profiles but some mice do

glossy timber
#

having my swiftcast suddenly become benediction mid pull is fucky

hard drift
#

Lol

glossy timber
#

it does have game profiles but they're all using default

#

guess i'll do a dungeon with the cursor mode switch in the extreme offchance it fixes it

hard drift
glossy timber
#

there isn't actually a profile for ffxiv it's just detecting i have the game installed and offering me to make a profile

modest moss
#

maybe make one

glossy timber
#

i get this when i click it

#

might be worth a shot yeah

#

i've also disabled whatever the fuck that does

modest moss
#

do you have a spare mouse?

glossy timber
#

not with the buttons that ffxiv is fucking with, i just have a regular old lefty righty boi

modest moss
#

ah

#

I bet making a profile is highest chance of success then

glossy timber
#

yeah probably

#

im waiting on a queue rn i'll play for a while until it either happens or doesn't

modest moss
#

gl!

glossy timber
#

usually takes less than two hours so i'll be back

hard drift
#

Damn europe queues still bad?

glossy timber
#

dungeon queue not game queue

#

europe queues have been fine for ages

glossy timber
#

welp

#

my mouse isn't having a seizure but my ' bind is going 3' still

potent arrow
#

Lol I fixed that issue on my anywhere 2s

#

Very simple fix

#

I bought a superlight

sly elk
#

if my cursor is spazzing it's probably because my headphone cable is sitting on the trackpad again

glossy timber
#

lukewarm take of the decade but logitech is mediocre

hard drift
#

Not to mention hardware makers have shitty software

glossy timber
#

i mean my 6 side keys are 5 side keys they have more than software issues

#

i'd get a new mouse but unironically who makes mice with anywhere more than 3 but less than 12 side keys

dreamy chasm
#

I just buy mice that work out of the box

potent arrow
#

I've never had issues with my Logitech

#

But uh I buy higher end ones

#

I chock my issues up to pebkac

dreamy chasm
#

my mouse is a chinese sku steelseries

potent arrow
#

Like my mxmaster was full of hydraulic oil

glossy timber
#

i wouldn't exactly call the g604 cheap but yeah i guess it's not the most expensive mouse in the world

dreamy chasm
#

i should probably stock up on these before they become obsolete

modest moss
#

this logitech g203 is quite nice

#

not using their software though

glossy timber
#

what are you using?

modest moss
#

windows drivers

glossy timber
#

ah i see

#

if i didnt need the side binds to be not 1 2 3 because of course thats a sensible default ty logitech

potent arrow
#

One thing I'll bitch about the super light tho

#

Why the fuck

#

Did they put shitty omrons in it

#

I should not have to buy a 200$ mouse and have to put new fucking switches in it

sly elk
#

I’ve stuck with Logitech mice because they rarely die on me within the warranty period. I also like their software and their profile switching.

#

But it does seem I got really lucky with the switches lol

potent arrow
#

I've killed the switches on mine within the month

sly elk
#

I’ve had my wireless g502 over a year and use it every day

potent arrow
#

Pissed me off so much

sly elk
#

That said

#

I’ve heard a looot of people say the same thing about the switches

potent arrow
#

Double click memes

glossy timber
#

if my switches double clicked i could get four whole inputs per click

#

thats value

sly elk
#

Yeah

#

I still kinda want a white viper or o- wireless

#

I need to check if I can save a set of profiles in hardware and then never use the software again

#

Or maybe keep it isolated in a VM or something

dreamy chasm
sly elk
#

I think it’s crazy the prices Logitech charges for their gaming mice

#

Absolutely crazy

dreamy chasm
#

They can charge that much bc people are paying

sly elk
#

Especially given the switch issues

dreamy chasm
#

the pro x superlight is 120 bucks here

#

that's like

sly elk
#

Like a nice pair of shoes

dreamy chasm
#

a monitor and 1-2 weeks worth of food here

#

or a few months of food if you're frugal haha

sly elk
#

Lol

dreamy chasm
#

idk

sly elk
#

A week of McDonald’s breakfasts and Panda Express dinners

dreamy chasm
#

im happy with my 30 dollar mouse

sly elk
#

Nah that’s two weeks

dreamy chasm
#

it tracks

#

it clicks

sly elk
#

I mean there’s the g502 wired and g602 wireless

#

Those are both around 35 bucks

glossy timber
#

hear me out right

#

what if i solder two steelseries mice together to get my button count

dreamy chasm
#

id use the g502 if it didnt have the worst shape for my grip

umbral moss
#

the shape of the 502 is weird, yeah

#

it's literally only good if you put it entirely in your hand

#

have big hands? haha fuck you

dreamy chasm
#

lots of sharp edges

#

it's just

#

blegh

#

zowie mice are the perfect shape but my last one died on me

#

and they're expensive as shit

sly elk
#

Blegh

dreamy chasm
#

so im just sticking to my rival

#

similar-ish shape to the kana v2 which i loved

odd sand
#

Yeah I have shied away from logitech mice bc most of them had that shape where you have to grip on top of the mouse with that plastic part under your thumb. So I've stuck with a Deathadder for like 10 years now

glossy timber
#

actually the rival 5 seems to have a fair few

#

not sure i like the placement though

sly elk
#

shinon you're right

dreamy chasm
#

steelseries usually had shapes down a lot

#

im not a fan of the edgy realism bs that stuff like the g402 and g502 has

glossy timber
#

steelseries is just comfy and durable

#

nothing super out there it just kinda works

#

i respect that

dreamy chasm
#

ye

glossy timber
#

i might grab a rival 5

#

im uber hesitant on that 6/7 thing

dreamy chasm
#

What is that 5/7 thing

#

odd

#

is it like

#

a

glossy timber
#

the 6/7 is like

#

a lever type deal

#

you can push it up or down

hard drift
#

5 is weird

dreamy chasm
#

oh

hard drift
#

I have one

dreamy chasm
#

so it's just

glossy timber
#

5 is really weird as well

dreamy chasm
#

a tilt thing

#

i c

#

odd

glossy timber
#

it's really odd

hard drift
#

I have the rival 710

#

Or whatever it is

dreamy chasm
#

5 seems like a gaudy sniper button

#

idk if i like the distance from the palm on that

glossy timber
#

apparantly it works a lot better than it looks

dreamy chasm
#

i see

glossy timber
#

think it depends on how far you have to stretch/if you have to

#

if your thumb rests on it then its gucci

manic turret
#

Im currently using a logitech mouse

dreamy chasm
#

my thumb unfortunately is really far back

glossy timber
#

woof that seems far back

dreamy chasm
#

like, right here

hard drift
#

Only one odd to reach is 5

dreamy chasm
#

I like the 106 bc it gives me a little nook to rest my thumb on

hard drift
#

And the button itself is weird to press

manic turret
#

Got this mouse for 20 bucks

#

Its amazing

dreamy chasm
#

ive seen similar

hard drift
dreamy chasm
#

i just like basic designs if the shape is good

#

i can understand wanting a lot of side buttons though

hard drift
#

Yeah

sly elk
#

basic ^_^

hard drift
#

I want more buttons but i hate the mmo mouse shape

#

For razer logitech and corsair 😔

glossy timber
#

yeah same

#

i also want like

#

6-10 side buttons

#

not 12

#

or at least

hard drift
#

Lol

glossy timber
#

not 12 in a fucking grid

modest moss
glossy timber
#

what even are good mouse manufacturers

hard drift
#

Steelseries, logitech, corsair atleast from personal experience. I avoid razer like the plague they’re so bad

dreamy chasm
#

i had a razer mouse break in 2 months

#

40 bucks but

#

my steelseries one is lasting so much longer

glossy timber
#

corsair seems to have no real designs im a fan of, logitech is out because im buying a mouse to avoid their software

hard drift
#

I like the steelseries one because i can replace the sensor

sly elk
glossy timber
#

this might be a rival 5 angle

hard drift
sly elk
#

what about thsi weird thing

#

mad catz mous 9

dreamy chasm
#

LMAO

sly elk
#

it is so ugly

dreamy chasm
#

oh god

hard drift
#

Never been a fan of mad catz except fight sticks and such

modest moss
#

microsoft used to be the chad mouse brand

glossy timber
#

710 falls into the "im trying to avoid buying mice with few side buttons because remapping is a pain"

glossy timber
#

also an oled display seems excessively extra for a mouse

hard drift
#

I got it for the stupid “haha mouse go brrr”

#

Just for fun

glossy timber
#

lmao fair

hard drift
sly elk
#

a.. vibrating mouse?

hard drift
late basalt
sly elk
#

lol

#

that sounds terrifying

late basalt
#

it's a fucking palm shaped object

#

MANHANDLE IT

hard drift
glossy timber
sly elk
#

honestly my faovrite kinda vibrating controller was the gamecube one in windwaker

hard drift
#

I forget to turn down the vibration sometimes for auto integrated games and it scares me

sly elk
#

the only one I've had where it caught me by surprised because it was more like apple's haptic feedback

#

-link gets booty call- -controller goes BIZZT

#

meanwhile in xbox land

hard drift
#

Lol

modest moss
#

claw grip is for serial killers

sly elk

-pbrtrjbrbrbrtrbtrtbrtbrtbrtbrtbrtbrtbrtbrtbrtbrtb-

late basalt
glossy timber
#

probably idk

#

i don't make the material i just laugh at it

#

trust me i have no plans to hold the mouse like a window licker

umbral moss
#

🎺

modest moss
#

I rest my case

umbral moss
#

I also use an insanely short cm/360 so it's basically impossible to use the mouse any other way

#

I usually have a 5cm/360 sensitivity

glossy timber
#

any other companies i should sniff before i buy this bitch

buoyant falcon
#

My Windows Explorer bar isn't responding at all, and restarting it via task manager isn't doing shit.

modest moss
#

have you restarted your pc completely?

buoyant falcon
#

Oh wait, second time was a charm.

modest moss
hard drift
#

Lol

#

We don’t get many of those anymore

modest moss
#

did your dad have his surgery yet btw?

hard drift
#

Yeah

modest moss
#

all good?

hard drift
#

It was way worse than the doctors anticipated but it was a success

modest moss
#

decent

hard drift
#

They said if he hadn’t come in soon he would’ve been paralyzed

modest moss
#

now just a bunch of recovery and physio presumably

hard drift
#

His nerve was ready to burst in his spine

#

Probably just recovery, shouldn’t need any physio atleast last i heard

modest moss
#

well that's something

hard drift
#

Yeah

#

Now it’s just dealing with his stubborn ass lol

#

He’s not allowed to drive at all now until cleared because of how bad it was

sly elk
#

drive?

odd sand
# sly elk

Classic intellimouse is what I use for work. Although the rubber on the sides wears off easily

sly elk
#

I use logitech gaming mice for everything but I'm not like crazy about them

glossy timber
#

huh

hard drift
glossy timber
#

i was gonna buy a headset as well but it was out of stock so i checked amazon and both that and the mouse are cheaper on there

#

🤔

hard drift
#

Use honey on the steelseries site if you go for their mice it’s usually cheaper

glossy timber
#

yeah the gap between no code on steelseries and amazon is a lot

hard drift
#

Damn

#

Still cheaper on amazon more than likely

glossy timber
#

and i guess i'll go back to my old stomping ground

#

arctis pro was kinda nice

#

i'd go headphones and mic seperate but i don't really have the space for a good mic and i really REALLY want to crush this modmic to dust

hard drift
#

Lavalier mic?

odd sand
#

Usually you clip it onto the back of the desk and it hangs over the monitor

glossy timber
#

lavalier would probably be fine but im trying to avoid any more cables because i already have enough hooked up to my laptop, the fucker looks like it's on life support

glossy timber
#

i am bullying the poor thing into being a desktop haha

#

im just annoyed with running over cables ngl

odd sand
glossy timber
#

yeah i have a usb hub it's just all a bit scuffed rn

odd sand
glossy timber
#

and ngl from personal experience the mic on the arctis pro is

fine

hard drift
#

The arctis mics are all fine

glossy timber
#

yeah

hard drift
#

Nothing to write home about but fine

late basalt
hard drift
#

I like plugging them into my dac/amp

late basalt
#

no real complaints other than i wish it was a little larger in size

glossy timber
#

yeah im avoiding logitech because something is being fucky with my current one and i just kinda wanna nuke it

#

for some reason it keeps getting its out of box binds back alongside what i changed them to

#

so one key i made go from 3 to ' but it sometimes reverts to a weird form where it goes 3'

#

and thats mega scuffed

late basalt
#

fucky firmware probably

glossy timber
#

probably

#

swapping its firmware mode back and forth does fix it

sly elk
#

rawr

glossy timber
#

it might be the onboard memory but i have no real clue how to fix that

late basalt
glossy timber
#

just desolder it 5head

late basalt
#

set binds and close the logitech program ¯_(ツ)_/¯

late basalt
#

kill the process too

glossy timber
#

i set the binds and nuked the entire software from my pc it still did it

#

the onboard memory remembers

late basalt
#

i didnt say remove the software

glossy timber
#

😔

late basalt
glossy timber
#

well yeah but when one thing doesn't work try getting more extreme right

late basalt
#

because unironically that might do fucky things to the onboard memory

glossy timber
#

next up: hammer fix

#

i tried a fair few things and honestly my only conclusion is

#

mouse bork

late basalt
#

probably

#

doesnt mean all of them would be though

glossy timber
#

yeah probably not but honestly the only logitech design i kinda liked was this mouse and i have other issues with this mouse

#

mainly the gaping hole where a key used to be

#

#

Yeah

bronze orbit
#

will check them out, thanks

glossy timber

sell your soul to zucc

hard drift
#

Quest 2 is portable rift s is pc locked

odd sand
#

Quest 2 is a facebook-owned VR solution where they cut the price in half if you agree to be datamined and fed ads

#

It's a big part of their new Metaverse push

hard drift
#

Keep in mind the quest 2 has more restrictions than the s

bronze orbit
#

Honestly i don't use my FB account, and by now they've datamined and fed me dumb ads to the point they think i'm indian because i keep watching pirated TV series on random indian pages, so i honestly don't care if they want my data lol

hard drift

hard drift

Ish

#

If you want pc you need the link cable

#

Which is expensive

bronze orbit
#

79 USD...

hard drift
#

Yeah

bronze orbit
#

So if i want to play say Beat Saber, i need to buy both the headset and the cable?

devout nexus
#

what you need is the anakin skywalker DLC

hard drift

Might have it in the app store

#

But idk

bronze orbit
#

app store?

hard drift
#

Yeah the oculus store or whatever

devout nexus
bronze orbit
#

???

hard drift
#

It’s a “mobile” headset essentially

bronze orbit
#

Huh?

#

u mean i can't just use steam games?

hard drift

Not the Younglings!

I removed HDDs from my builds

it's amazing

I use hdd for old/retro games

hdd is still fine for media storage and so on

Yeah

But I'm not using my PC for media storage

modest moss

I'm old so I still have an mp3 collection

hard drift

Hey now, what’s wrong with that

modest moss

nothing, it's just seemingly less common among young people

hard drift

I love cds, i want the album art and such

modest moss

and tbh spotify is pretty good, I use it probably more than my downloaded music

hard drift

I would use spotify if the ads weren’t excessive and loud

sharp star

I share 2TB of cloud storage with my mom

hard drift

I use tidal instead 😔

sharp star

So that's where I put my art collection

modest moss

I get hardly any ads on spotify on my pc and tv

I use webspotify when i use it because no ads ASevil

the free mobile app is a very different beast though

there may or may not be a cracked version of the free spotify app that unlocks most features

but we can't really discuss that

I don't use it personally, it's very rare I want music on my phone

Spotify premium is also only 5$ if you're a student and comes with Hulu pusheennoodles

modest moss

the thing I can't discuss here is ad-free

hard drift
mortal condor

How much is Tidal?

hard drift
#

Was 60 for a year when i bought it

#

And comes with higher quality audio deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

#

Get it through bestbuy not tidal

mortal condor
#

Ah, wellll I already have Spotify Premium via the student discount so I don't neeeed Tidal atm but i'll keep that in mind

hard drift
#

It also has a student discount i believe but yeah

Not a student so I can’t 😭

modest moss

spotify student discount annoys me, I'd get a student sub for my 13yo but schoolkids can't get a .edu email

Theodore John Kaczynski ( kə-ZIN-skee; born May 22, 1942), also known as the Unabomber (), is an American domestic terrorist and former mathematics professor. He was a mathematics prodigy, but abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a primitive life. Between 1978 and 1995, he killed three people and injured 23 others in a nationwide bomb...

HE PREDICTED EVERYTHING

I too am skeptical of talking to technology

but he was right

Oh fuck yeah

umbral moss
#

although spotify being the only provider that doesn't offer HQ stream option is more because spotify is too busy hobbing podcaster knobs than because they can't figure out how to do it

modest moss
#

fuck joe rogan

umbral moss
#

ye

#

it's ok to willfully platform lies and misinformation as long as you say that you're not an expert, merely an idiot and entertainer

modest moss
#

I liked him when he was just a comedian making jokes about pot and MMA

#

but now he's a twat

potent arrow
#

Yep same shue

umbral moss
#

this isn't new by any stretch

modest moss
#

he was harmless funny twat though

#

now he's got a platform and is dangerous

umbral moss
#

I mean, he always had a platform for his dumb show

#

it's not like he was nobody and spotify decided to elevate him out of obscurity

modest moss
#

his stand up shows weren't antivax etc though

umbral moss
#

the thing is that I don't know if he's actually that way, or if he learned the databattles secret and is just playing to a very captive audience

modest moss
#

either way, fuck that guy now

umbral moss
#

like, the groups he's engaging now are diehard "we will only listen to things we agree with" people

#

so it looks great for his sub numbers because they're consistently good

#

almost all of the content aimed at far-right listeners is produced knowing it has an extremely high attach rate and you can count on them watching/listening as often as you can publish

#

this is why a handful of people being like "I won't watch that garbage" doesn't matter, the followers are so dedicated they make up for it by engaging even more out of spite

# dreamy chasm found the joe rogan fan on cope

First off, I never said I was fan so the insult was uncalled for. Second, there is a absolute "no politics" rule and given the nature of his podcasts this crosses that line, hence the question as it has nothing to do with tech. But apparently this channel has become nothing more than a circle-jerk for a select few so clearly someone looking for or willing to offer tech support has no place here. Goodbye.

you need to register it on mogstation

you bought it on steam, yes?

you need to poke around and find the codes

i think so, its not showing up my orders

i have the email that its been bought

and i cant even download ffxiv on the site, says i gotta buy it again

You should be able to find your license on the steam client

you need an SE account, and to register the codes in it

You NEED endwalker as complete does them all so you’d need to do another service account

you own starter, so you buy Endwalker and it includes the earlier expansions

Easy job and every decent company will know you need time to get used to it and learn their systems.
Just, if possible, do yourself a favour and don't work for a company doing it support for random people/customers. You will hate humanity.
It support for the companies own employees is slightly better because at least they have to be nice or else they will get in trouble
