[sly elk]

if MS spent more money on the search engine and the backend and made it not use 100% cpu on a video call

[odd sand]

Also still doesn't have a Push-to-talk button

[sly elk]

instead of adding more knobs for IT sysadmins to fuck with employees

[potent arrow]

Auto transcription broke our teleconferencing machine

[sly elk]

that'd be great, ok

[potent arrow]

Straight up bricked it

[sly elk]

but no no

"We blocked GIFs because they're bad mkay"

[umbral moss]

I mean, teams was designed in like, three weeks right before the pandemic hit

[sly elk]

it existed before the pandemic

it rose from the ashes of lync/skype

-shudder-

never forget what MS did to skype

[umbral moss]

skype is still around 😔

[sly elk]

I'm actually impressed with that one

[umbral moss]

the shambling corpse of what used to be

[potent arrow]

Skype for business is a fucking crime

[sly elk]

like how does a rich company take over .. actually ya know what, nevermind

[odd sand]

Skype and Skype for Business are completely different products 🤔

[umbral moss]

skype for consumers is also a fucking crime

[sly elk]

skype and MS

is like nest and google 😄

I will give you this

[potent arrow]

Both shite

[sly elk]

MS is evil, google is to not be trusted with anything ever

[umbral moss]

you'd think that skype would have become microsoft's MVNO to run windows phones on, since they couldn't get any major carriers to take their phones

[potent arrow]

What did MS do that made Skype run like Minecraft on a comodore

[sly elk]

but MS gets a solid pass from the game community

[umbral moss]

but nah, why trade on that name

[sly elk]

because that's the only reason like millions of gamers use windows

MS bends over backwards and probably offers blowjobs to game studios

[inland mauve]

oh so THAT is why our web infrastructure scanner always yells at us to set our X-Frame header to "deny" or "SAMEORIGIN"

[sly elk]

everyone acts like it's apple/linux's fault that there's hardly any game studio support but that's not really true

[fading sparrow]

🙃

[sly elk]

it's just that compared to MS

[potent arrow]

Hot take, I am completely fine with gamepass

[sly elk]

they're basically anti-game

[potent arrow]

but then again I'm a broke ass student

[umbral moss]

microsoft just doing what sega did in 1992

member sega channel?

[sly elk]

apple: "Here's our APIs, have fun"
Linux: "RTFM, here's our APIs, go make your own, have fun"
MS: "OH HI! WE LOVE YOU! WE JUST SPENT 6 BILLION ON THIS NEW DIRECTX THING! COME TO OUR XBOX DEV PARTY! WE'LL SEND YOU TO A HOTEL ROOM!"

[umbral moss]

pepperidge farm remembers

[potent arrow]

No because I'm not old as shit

[umbral moss]

enjoy being a child I guess

[potent arrow]

How would 1992 gamepass work

[sly elk]

game studio: "We're too stupid/lazy to understand anything other than directx so we'll be ms exclusive now kthxbye"

[potent arrow]

Convince a studio to use Vulcan I dare you

[umbral moss]

more like MS makes the DX devkit potato easy to use and a literal child could make a working DX product in about a month

[sly elk]

that's what I mean, though

[umbral moss]

sega channel was a TV tuner cartridge for the sega genesis that streamed 50 games every month for $15/mo

[potent arrow]

I'm pretty sure alot of DX products are made by a child

[umbral moss]

keep in mind it was $15 a month when games cost $80 per cart

[sly elk]

MS basically coddels game devs

so why bother writing for anything else that actually requires effort

[umbral moss]

opengl sucks

[potent arrow]

I mean like is it so bad if it performs well and we can get more games out

[umbral moss]

the only person who still writes in opengl is carmack because he designed half the fucking instructions

[potent arrow]

0_o how would that work

I'm missing some tech details

Like what is a tv tuner cartridge, how is data stored erc

[umbral moss]

it was a literal TV channel you needed the cartridge to decode

sega channel was the shit in 1992

[potent arrow]

Oh

Wait hwaaaaaaaat

So they had sets of channels that were just games?

[umbral moss]

sega bought a channel through the local cable company, yeah

[potent arrow]

Whaaaaat LMFAOOO

[umbral moss]

very prototypical game streaming service

[potent arrow]

How did they get multiple game instances??

Save data??

[paper tusk]

it was basically same idea as bandi satellaview for super famicom in could download games for a short amount of time (stored locally)

[umbral moss]

I think it was saved locally to the cart

[potent arrow]

:mind blown:

[paper tusk]

it didn't have anything like save carts could buy extras of to store extra games (or streamed audio)

[umbral moss]

yeah, when sega was actually making consoles they were way ahead of their time

sega channel wouldn't be reproduced again until like, fucking 2015 lmao

[potent arrow]

Lmao

[umbral moss]

the OG xbox controller shares a lot of DNA with the dreamcast controller

same with xbox live and sega net

[paper tusk]

iirc sega helped develop og xbox because dreamcast bombed so hard

so they needed an improved arcade platform fast

[umbral moss]

that's their own fuckin fault though

they released the dreamcast less than two years after the saturn and developers weren't even finished with the saturn game dev cycle

everyone was like "oh, ok, eat shit then" and dropped all sega projects

[paper tusk]

then again dreamcast bombed since sega insisted on nec's power vr trash instead of what sega of america wanted which was a voodoo gpu

[umbral moss]

that's because NEC makes arcade SOCs and they're JP

therefore

[paper tusk]

which would have made development easier since could share resources with the dev pcs

yeah that too

[dull garnet]

dreamcast bombed because sega suck

sony ftw

😎

[paper tusk]

too bad hudsonsoft killed themselves off

[deep sapphire]

Bonk’s adventure was awesome though

Lmao I’m just fucking with ya

[paper tusk]

besides, the hudson train was never preserved either

[deep sapphire]

Though growing up let’s be real nobody had one

[paper tusk]

( a scale model train that went around hudsonsoft hq)

[deep sapphire]

I actually knew someone with a neo geo

The even funnier thing is we grew up in section 8

That drug money paying for the big games

[umbral moss]

the neo geo mobile thing

[paper tusk]

I got my pc engine duo something like 5 years ago. probably need to replace the caps or something on it assuming the save ram battery isnt completely fucked

[deep sapphire]

Damn how much that set you back

[paper tusk]

more

[deep sapphire]

Those are fairly rare

I have a Sega nomad that’s probably the rarest console I own

The duo is even more rare

[dull garnet]

he doesn't own a Duo R https://i.imgur.com/R5qwYzg.jpg

ishygddt

[deep sapphire]

Playing sonic on the nomad is pretty awful

Those old TFT screens good god

[dull garnet]

nomad and game gear suck

game boy supremacy

thrill kill never saw a commercial release

[umbral moss]

nomad was so funny because you needed to carry like 15 pounds of spare batteries

it wasn't exactly mobile when you needed a backup generator to use it

[dull garnet]

it was adapted to wu-tang: taste the pain

[umbral moss]

[dull garnet]

you stole it!

thief!

[odd sand]

When the dreamcast came out I thought there couldn't possibly be a more bulky controller... then MS made the Duke...

[umbral moss]

the duke at least has ergonomic handls

the dreamcast has two straight fins on the bottom

😩

[deep sapphire]

Yeah the Dreamcast controller is not good

[dull garnet]

did you just called the duke ergonomic

[deep sapphire]

Hard plastic control stick and a fuckin metal spring that gets hard as it ages

[paper tusk]

Ergonomic for a brick through a window

[umbral moss]

I wonder how my dreamcast looks these days

[deep sapphire]

And the triggers don’t line up well with the face buttons

[odd sand]

At least it's not the Atari 5200...

[umbral moss]

I haven't seen it since I put it in a PS3 box 20 years ago

[dull garnet]

dreamcast triggers crumbled to dust with crazy taxi

[paper tusk]

[dull garnet]

i love crazy taxi

thankfully i can play it on ps2

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[deep sapphire]

The Dreamcast was an awesome system

[odd sand]

Copy protection? What's that?

[deep sapphire]

It’s crazy to think how many good games Sega pumped out within a short period of time

[dull garnet]

skies of arcadia is great

especially on ||gamecube||

[odd sand]

But yes, I was really sad when Dreamcast folded after only like 18 months. They had like half a dozen killer games already

[deep sapphire]

Yeah it really is sad

[dull garnet]

not as bad as the virtual boy

[umbral moss]

yeah, seaman was legendary

[dull garnet]

that lasted 6 months

[deep sapphire]

People blame the PS2 but let’s be honest Sega in the 90s were not good lol

[umbral moss]

sega was never good lmao

[deep sapphire]

Delete this

[dull garnet]

the mega drive was good

[umbral moss]

they iterated so quickly they just drove themselves out of the industry

[dull garnet]

dat 68k

[deep sapphire]

Road rash

Beating other bikers with a chain

[umbral moss]

the hardware just came fast and furious because they wanted to be first to everything

[deep sapphire]

[umbral moss]

sega CD, 32x, saturn, dreamcast

all released within a 7 year period of time

[deep sapphire]

I think Dreamcast was fine but the other 3 yeah I agree

[dull garnet]

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

[umbral moss]

the dreamcast was a breddy gud console but it was the nail in sega's coffin because it literally came out right on top of the saturn

[dull garnet]

saturn was launching at 399

destroyed

[deep sapphire]

The Saturn was just dog shit. Like sure it has some great gems on it but if you grew up during that time period literally no game store had Jack shit for Saturn stuff lmao

[umbral moss]

because sega only supported it in JP

the dreamcast got a huge library of games in JP after they stopped selling it in NA too

[deep sapphire]

The whole infighting between Sega of America and Sega of Japan was also ridiculous

[dull garnet]

AMERICA DOESN'T WANT JRPGS!

[umbral moss]

sony's in the same position though

SOA is like "we must think of the children"

and SOJ is like "can we please make tiddy games"

[deep sapphire]

Yuji Naka being a piece of shit with sonic xtreme to the point the staff members got pneumonia

Which is ironic being sonic team relocated to America

Which I always thought was weird lol

A full Japanese studio located in San Francisco

I think it’s because they hated SoJ

I know Mark Cerny gave an interview about that when he was head of STI

[umbral moss]

I thought sonic team largely fell apart and they tried to re-form AM2 in NA

[paper tusk]

opend the pc engine and all the caps look fine. still dont know what saves games on the system other than what might be an ultracapactor

[umbral moss]

which is why the quality of sonic games took a huge shit after sonic adventure 2

[dull garnet]

was that your Duo R above?

[deep sapphire]

Nah they hated how little creative control they had under SoJ so after SA1 they fully relocated to San Fran

[paper tusk]

no i have a plain duo

[dull garnet]

ah okay

[deep sapphire]

And they were there for most of the 2000s

[paper tusk]

duo-rx was above my budget

[dull garnet]

I wanted an RX but paying more for a worse controller? eh

[deep sapphire]

Yuji Naka had his own sonic team in Japan which worked on PSO

[paper tusk]

nevermind brains. the duo with the bed sheet is mine

[dull garnet]

ah, that's an R

[umbral moss]

I miss my sega genesis/CD, but I can play all the games on emu these days 😔

[dull garnet]

caps generally aren't destined to fail and go bad like the original Duo

[paper tusk]

pretty sure i know since just put it back together (t10 tamper resistant screws)

[deep sapphire]

The Sega CD is an excellent example of why you shouldn’t over engineer something and price it out of most people’s budget lol

The thing had enough hardware in it to be it’s own console almost

[dull garnet]

[deep sapphire]

[dull garnet]

wondermega are badass

better than the CDX

[paper tusk]

first pc engine cd was basically a scsi cdrom drive dumped into a custom case

[deep sapphire]

Yeah but that made way more sense than the Sega CD IMO

[dull garnet]

yeah I used to have the cd-rom^2 briefcase

then there's the super cd-rom^2

[deep sapphire]

the Sega CD was like “hey all these shortcomings the Genesis has let’s put abunch of expensive hardware in the CD to beat the SNES”

[dull garnet]

om nom nom

[deep sapphire]

Yet the video buffer had to go through the Genesis anyway

So was still limited to 512 colors lol

[dull garnet]

you definitely notice the colour limitation, certain games were pretty smart about it though

[deep sapphire]

Yeah no doubt

I’m sure as a consumer back then investing in a 400 dollar addon to your 180 dollar console sure made a lot of sense

Good job Sega

[dull garnet]

Ex-Ranza / Ranger X comes to mind

I guess when SNES carts with enhancement chips were kinda expensive it maybe made sense but yeah, not good

adding a second SH2 basically crippled the Saturn for devs too lol

[deep sapphire]

Yeah that’s true a lot of people forget about how expensive some SNES games were back then

I think star fox was 80 bucks which in 1993 that’s a lot of fuckin money lol

Imagine asking your parents to buy you an 80 dollar game

Sure that went down well

[dull garnet]

I can imagine

[deep sapphire]

Probably why DKC was such a massive hit

Gotta give Rare credit they pulled that off with zero enhancement chips

[dull garnet]

if I liked DKC, maybe

luckily now you can get MD flash carts that have FPGA Mega CD hardware built in :D

[deep sapphire]

Genesis games I don’t recall ever being that expensive like 40-50 bucks usually

But does it work with Virtua Racing

[dull garnet]

shame they're like $250

uhhhhh, i'm not sure

[deep sapphire]

https://youtu.be/L-zbldrgITU

Best 32X game

Tbf the only good game

[dull garnet]

yeah it runs on the terraonion mega sd

[deep sapphire]

“Uuuuuuh what about Chaotix”

Yeah what about it

[dull garnet]

i can see a case for a mega cd, but the 32x is straight junk :p

at least you get Snatcher...

[deep sapphire]

32X could’ve been cool but when you cobble together some shit and provide zero development support it’s like why does this exist

[dull garnet]

cough Saturn cough

[deep sapphire]

I think that’s ultimately where the whole SoA vs SoJ shit came down. The 32X was mostly SoA’s idea because the Genesis was still selling well at the time so they figured a cheap addon to make it last was a good idea and in retrospect if it was pulled off well I’m sure it would’ve done fairly well. The thing launched at like 150 bucks

But Sega and incompetence go hand and hand

The Saturn was just as bad, cobbled together hardware like the thing had what 8 total processors lmao

[paper tusk]

tried to open my ps1 to see if need to replace the caps on that and of course it has double rf shielding

[dull garnet]

you need to install an xstation

[deep sapphire]

8 processors and the games look worse than the PS1

[paper tusk]

no kill like overkill. unless need to maintain it

yeah i bought it from the dredges of ebay to mod for an ode

[dull garnet]

xstation rulez

[paper tusk]

upper shell is yellowed to fuck all

[dull garnet]

i believe some high SEGA guy saw the PS spec and said "add a second sh2" and then it got f'd

[paper tusk]

so probably will have to retrobrite it

[dull garnet]

i do like Saturn visuals though, they're so rough and sharp

you compare say Darius Gaiden on Saturn to the PS ver and it looks so much better

[paper tusk]

yeah i have a couple saturn games (jrpgs) and it's nice when its nice

[dull garnet]

fenrir in my saturn

[paper tusk]

need to replace power supply on my nice saturn though

[deep sapphire]

I think the Saturn has probably aged better when you look at games done right but at the time they looked like shit and ran slow af

[dull garnet]

my Saturn PSU runs real hot

its fine...

[fading sparrow]

hi hank, can't wait for shadowlands bud

[deep sapphire]

Plus all the fuckin arcade ports like yeah I’m gonna pay 50 dollars for 3 levels

Hi josh yeah let’s push keys

[dull garnet]

it is a VA0.5 Japanese machine, which interestingly has a fan mount in the shell and a header for it

but it never came with a fan

[fading sparrow]

okay when empire of dragons launches we can play again and you and shaun can fish in ardenweald

[deep sapphire]

https://youtu.be/tCpCwclIfg0

[fading sparrow]

can we get a new f-zero game already

[deep sapphire]

Wtf that thing had a fan?

I only have a model 2

[dull garnet]

no, that's the thing

it didn't have a fan

but it had a fan hole

[deep sapphire]

Haha

[paper tusk]

i want to replace mine so i dont have to use a stepdown converter since it's a jp saturn

[deep sapphire]

Nintendo would rather sell you F-Zero X than admit that Sega did a better job making a game (F-Zero GX)

[dull garnet]

gonna go with a picopsu?

[fading sparrow]

[paper tusk]

probably yeah

[dull garnet]

when Saturns were cheaper I used to just steal PSUs from UK machines

[paper tusk]

not sure on a bios mod if i get a ode

[deep sapphire]

Reported

[dull garnet]

you won't need a mod with an ode

same with PS

they basically all patch in the data stream

satiator is pretty nice for Saturn too, if you wanted to keep the ability to play discs

[paper tusk]

would prefer to keep that but only if it's not too much more expensive than a plain ode

the cd drive is eventually going to quit working anyays

[dull garnet]

depends where you are based, with import and such it was like double the fenrir for me so I went for that

[paper tusk]

in my case imports would be US region games

or translated (shining force 3)

hmm

I dont remember what i bookmarked (saturn ode wise)

[dull garnet]

You have the phoebe/rhea, mode, satiator and fenrir

[paper tusk]

fenrir and xstation since good and cheap

[dull garnet]

honestly think xstation is the best solution for ps, although having access to sata for storage is pretty nice on the mode

[paper tusk]

terraonion shot their mouths off about krikzz so they are on my shit list

even if mode wasn't $240

[dull garnet]

That's fair about TO, I am of the same opinion. I installed a 50/60Hz switch for someone that had a mode in their Saturn and it seemed like a decent product... Ignoring everything else

Intel enters GPU marketplace

https://tenor.com/view/reverse-nozumi-uno-jojo-card-gif-15706915

Nvidia

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/6m-rain-wallstreet-make-it-rain-gif-8203989

nvidia doesn't see anyone else as competition because they really aren't

arc being slightly slower than the 3070 is adorable when nvidia is about to drop the 40 series at 80-100% faster than the 30 series

[hard drift]

Nvidia has competition for efficiency and next gen amd performance since drivers have gotten better

[umbral moss]

H100 is 3x the FP64 of A100

[hard drift]

Their efficiency is pretty bad and the next gen looks worse

[umbral moss]

if even half of that gets to the consumer GPU it'll be a big jump in performance

[hard drift]

Can’t compare

[zealous wolf]

competition has to be maintained otherwise theyll be like Intel stagnation before Ryzen came out...

[hard drift]

It’s 2 architectures this gen

[zealous wolf]

[hard drift]

One server one consumer

[umbral moss]

they did it with ampere too

[hard drift]

No

Ampere was consumer and datacenter

It’ll be hopper and lovelace or whatever they call it

[umbral moss]

the main perf gains generationally are going to be in raytracing anyway

which is all compute functionality

[hard drift]

Hopefully not

[umbral moss]

the 1080->3080 is what, 30% faster?

[hard drift]

What?

It’s not 30%

[umbral moss]

yeah, nvidia always does that to themselves with a revolutionary GPU jump

G92 took like 10 years to die

it was so good they were using it for low-end 900 series GPUs

[umbral moss]

with raytracing disabled?

[hard drift]

Yeah, it’s more than that especially for commonly played stuff such as fortnite, pubg, overwatch

It gets as much as 80% in some titles

[umbral moss]

I haven't paid much attention since it's a paper product as far as I can tell

I'm still 6 years on with my titan

hopefully lovelace is a full 2x over so I can justify the upgrade price

[hard drift]

eh, but what if it's 2x over for 2x wattage

[umbral moss]

and...?

[hard drift]

that's a lot of heat

[umbral moss]

am I running my PC on batteries?

[dull garnet]

yes

[umbral moss]

I have a 700W watercooling loop

and the new tower I planned has a 1200W loop

fuck do I care what the GPU consumes

I've got a two row 3x140 set aside for my next GPU

the CPU is getting the single row 3x140

the case is intended to have 20 140mm fans in it

[dull garnet]

[umbral moss]

[dull garnet]

you're right, they own you and your every waking thought

maybe this is the year I can finally finish that custom case

[dull garnet]

40 140mm fans

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUbpb23yTK8

you don't need to watercool any gpu :p

[umbral moss]

I had a GTX480 that melted the PCB from how hot the die got

so I watercool now

[dull garnet]

well, gpu cooling isn't awful now

[umbral moss]

it isn't, it just takes 5 PCI slots

or you can use a waterblock and it weighs nothing and has 700W heat dissipation

[dull garnet]

i guess my exp is only with plebian tier gpus 😔

[umbral moss]

the reference cooler for the 3080 is three slots, isn't it?

it's like 10kg of copper and fans

[dull garnet]

twoish

3090 is three

3090 really is huge

[odd sand]

The 3090 is the same size as some Intel NUCs

[umbral moss]

it also consumes three times as much power

[dull garnet]

my 8800 gtx was probably the hottest card i owned

that thing was 60c idle

they're professional so you should only use them for webex and teams and

The biggest issue with the M1 Macs is you can't really upgrade them.

Most of the stuff is soldered onto the board. Supposedly there is a 2nd M.2 slot on the SoC, but nobody knows if it's usable or if there is some other sort of anti-consumer bullshit which prevents you from using it.

Hasn't that been true of the Intel machines for a number of years too?

it had a link to a crisis hotline thing

lol

[boreal surge]

like once you're familiar eenough with an OS you know the good and the bad. or at least some of it. based on your own uses/preferences lol.

this should just be a bar challenge

some dudes just randomly go to an apple store to compete to see who can yank the plug out of a studio display

[odd sand]

See what gives first: the wire separating from the plug, or the metal panel getting bent

I'm sure it's not so they can specifically sell a $99 replacement power cord for it +$50 installation fee. Certainly not.

If I open that tech support forum channel accidentally again imma smash my phone into the concrete

It just loads/unloads slow enough that it's fucking frustration

And you can't swipe to open the side menu to go to the right channel

So you have to

Wait for it to load

Then hit the back button

Then you have to swipe

Then choose the right channel

No

Discord app is just shit

Fuck my life

It's like the perfect middle ground where it's annoying

What the fuck do you mean

Normally you can swipe to see channels

But the forums you need to hit the top back button

So I instinctly spend 20 seconds trying to swipe to go the right channel

What a shitty UI design decision

Yeah it sucks

As usual the mobile app is a mess

Yep

It's fucking pissing me off lmfaaaao

What also pisses me off is that emotes still break randomly

It brings you to an EMPTY channel

[potent arrow]

So it's like three or four steps

the UI team fucking EATS GLUE

Ugh

I'm gonna snap my phone one day because of it

@lost python honestly if you swapped the position of the two tech channels with each other it would put #tech where it used to be relatively

[deep sapphire]

Supposedly Buick is massively popular in China

But yeah not so much in the states lol

I’ll take a Buick grand national tho

[umbral moss]

make it a china-only marque then, they don't make any exciting body panels to justify existing elsewhere

let the chinese enjoy their boring old man sedans

[deep sapphire]

That’s alright GM has zero idea what they are doing anyway

[umbral moss]

they hope the cadillac whatever will bail them out

[deep sapphire]

The lyriq looks pretty nice, I can see it being a hit

[umbral moss]

even though the bolt has been a dumpster fire and they have literally zero other projects running on ultium

GM looks like they're aiming to be primarily an EV parts company and they also make cars on the side

since they have the least developed product pipeline for the EV transition and only one shipping product

aside from being moderately flammable under normal usage conditions

it's still a basic GM budget box

if you liked the chevy cruze/saturn ion, that's the bolt basically

the bolt is not based on the ultium platform, which is GM's big "we're working on EVs guys, really" pitch deck

[deep sapphire]

Eh I disagree the Bolt for its price point has a pretty nice interior, good enough performance and range and the design isn’t horrendous. It’s not like sub 40 grand you have much options

[umbral moss]

aside from the leaf, no, you don't

but the thrust of my issue is that GM largely doesn't give a shit about anything that isn't named after a mountain so there's a lot of corners cut

You could try a stone place

[umbral moss]

yeah, that's what they recommended

They might sell ya a scrap piece

since quarries have castoffs from jobs

ye

[sly elk]

And then it’d be cheap

Or at least not as bad

[umbral moss]

I kind of want one in slate

Hehe

It’s also prettier than wood

you could also just cast an inch of concrete

But yeah weight can be an issue

Especially with those sit stand frames

They only have a max capacity of 200-400lbs

The 310 includes the top

Moar power! https://www.amazon.com/Krisdonia-Portable-Charger-60000mAh-MacBook/dp/B07L9W45MY?th=1

Even Moar power! https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Station-Emergency-Inverter-Generator/dp/B08FX3S5LF/

Although at those capacities I don't even know how to calculate the battery size. It says charge a smartphone 127 times, so if you napkin math a 4000mAh phone that would be 500,000mAh
