how you guys doing

[trim wind]

I’m 31

[sharp phoenix]

that's not too old

[sand crown]

he is not old, he is mature!

[trim wind]

Not too old for what?

[full mauve]

younger than my dad so it’s acceptable

[sharp phoenix]

not bad not bad, another Monday going by

[full mauve]

school education

[sharp phoenix]

to have a young life

[trim wind]

Lol

[soft crystal]

povich is the self-proclaimed old yolk

[sharp phoenix]

I'll be 25 soon, I'll be having a mid twenties crisis

[soft crystal]

it was him declaring his elderness and not us

[coarse sleet]

same but at the age of 20

[trim wind]

honestly.. 27 is the golden number

[sand crown]

i'm 23, i feel like i already have it

[trim wind]

at 27 you've peaked

I have spoken

[dusk mirage]

26 here I believe it

[sand crown]

everyone saying it, what happens on 27? 👀

[wheat light]

You gain magic powers

[sand crown]

so i can fly?

[trim wind]

idk after 27 you feel like you're closing in on 30 and beyond

at 27 you can still say you're young

but you don't have the pressure of life yet

[sharp phoenix]

I already have the pressure of life

[trim wind]

shhhhh

be still my child..

very still

[dull pebble]

is this where the cool kids hang out?

[coarse sleet]

damn we are all old

[dusk mirage]

I'm so tired...

[sharp phoenix]

yep

[dull pebble]

i agree, 27 is a good age

[full mauve]

as someone who isn’t 27 i will agree and say that is a good age

[sharp phoenix]

congrats on green @full mauve

[full mauve]

thanks Luke

[sand crown]

sheeeeeeeesh congrats!

[full mauve]

thanks!

[dull pebble]

niiiice, green gang!

[steep cloud]

I wish I had green

Alas

1k messages to go

[dusk mirage]

It's up to us to pump one another up brother lets do this

[steep cloud]

It wil happen in time

just need patience

CS:GO reference in COD MWII season 3 (real)

[sharp phoenix]

[sharp phoenix]

have you seen the new reddit design? what

[austere crag]

it's goofed

also make up your mind reddit: should avatars be more prominent or be shown less

since now they're gone in top posts (and posts visible from the home view) but expanded posts show the full avatar instead of just the head

make up your damn mind: do you want to sell out or not

[sharp phoenix]

yeah, they also made it so that when you click a post, it's no longer an overlay which means you actually now have to go back a page and hope it remembers where you scrolled

[dusty kernel]

Controversial topic - I'd love to see The Finals have some decent crossover collabs just like in Fortnite

[cinder wedge]

please don't mention fortnite ever again

[austere crag]

controversialer topic - I don't hate Fortnite as a game, i hate its community

[cinder wedge]

you mean children

not controversial at all

[bright cloud]

Fortnite

[austere crag]

i think fortnite's infested with kids

and so is VR

https://youtube.com/shorts/VPopmojMDR0?feature=share

@austere crag help

[coarse sleet]

bruh what yt recommending me lmao

[sharp phoenix]

it's trying to be a wingman

[coarse sleet]

yt knows i dont go outside

[sharp phoenix]

[violet horizon]

go watch it xd

[coarse sleet]

no

[violet horizon]

see

[cinder wedge]

Why not

[violet horizon]

there you go

you just did

[coarse sleet]

that vtuber is sus, she scares me

[violet horizon]

i just dont like the hair ends

should be longer

[coarse sleet]

i like them, but i agree

[violet horizon]

i like the eyes

and those draw spikes on the cheeks :3

[coarse sleet]

its a good model imo

[violet horizon]

does it still scares you?

[coarse sleet]

i can appreciate a good model and be scared of the person

her model isnt overly dramatic like some indie vtuber (cough Miilkywayz cough) i say it has good balance

[sharp phoenix]

cute picture Kyne

[weary pike]

The amount of hype around Crypto has dropped and not as many miners thank god

that is a good reason

another reason for crypto is because of the blockchain network

ik

[solid thunder]

What did you do to get this “supposed fraud” on your name 🥴

[weary pike]

like you know Swiss bank

but how do you feel about the current state of Eu banks and bailouts made by the US

wait what bank banned you

oh ok

damn thats sad\

as a child that dosent have any of those things i cant understand the pain RN

like the corruption of the Us gov letting rich and powerful do what ever they want and one system to control them all

The gov has no power its people with the money especially hedge funds

They tell them what to do and they cant do anything because then everything collapses

[brave atlas]

Because companies dont want to deal with having to constantly care about crypto prices

[weary pike]

like with the shortselling with GME which was insane and with so much evidence of insider trading and market manipulation they dont do anything

Ik its bigger than the Us

US

same

[dusk mirage]

Really liking Zomboid so far, good game

[rotund gyro]

Uhm

Good morning!

[feral ice]

@sharp phoenix @violet horizon @austere crag @sturdy forge one last meme for you guys, byeeee

[trim wind]

What happened?

[waxen tree]

What did I miss lol

[trim wind]

Yeah confused.. @feral ice explain yourself

[feral ice]

https://tenor.com/view/hide-disappear-gif-14145594

[sharp phoenix]

Morning

[trim wind]

Moin

[trim wind]

Right… you stop memeing now?

[sharp phoenix]

Whatcha mean

How was Tetris Povich?

[trim wind]

It was good, even my mom watched it haha

And she doesn’t like nerdy shit, so it was interesting enough

[feral ice]

i mean very few people like shit, regardless of it came out of a nerd or someone else

[trim wind]

Sigh…

[trim wind]

HAPPY TUESDAY! (I DRANK ALOT OF COFFEE)

[steep cloud]

It’s today

[trim wind]

HAPPY TODAY

[topaz island]

bois what are the chances

i got 7 perfect games on steam and their achievements add up to 777 in total

i am so satisfied rn

[trim wind]

They each had an average of 111 achievements!?

[topaz island]

well one of them is isaac which has 637 lmao

but still for the others to add up to 140 exactly aswell

seems mad

[feral ice]

Cyberpunk 2077 update coming out today! wooooo

https://tenor.com/view/toad-hype-overload-overload-gif-7868864

[trim wind]

I… am already happy if I survive my work today haha

[full mauve]

you had a 4 day holiday Povich, put some effort in!

for at least 5 minutes :D

[sharp phoenix]

Is this the 1.7 update ?

[feral ice]

1.62 that brings path-tracing to the game

[sharp phoenix]

Ah

[feral ice]

Path-tracing is the one called "overdrive ray-tracing" and brings way better lighting

where as normal ray-tracing have a single light bounce, path-tracing does multiple bounces creating true lighting effects, shadows for everything, true reflections and more

[full mauve]

tbh i don’t see that much of a noticeable difference, and i would expect it to take a good couple of frames off

[feral ice]

just gave you a better example

[full mauve]

oh ok thats more noticeable

does look pretty cool

[full mauve]

ok ok i see your point 😭

[trim wind]

Haha dude I was ill for 3 out of those 4 days!

[feral ice]

The reflection and light mapping on NPC's are also WAY better

[full mauve]

oh rip, if only you were ill now

daaaamn

that’s wayy better

now you can actually see depth in their skin 💀💀

[feral ice]

but yes it takes a HEAVY hit on performance... native 4k everything maxed the 4090 gets 18 FPS without DLSS and frame generation

but with DLSS and frame generation 100+ fps

[full mauve]

sheeesh

that’s a big boost

[steep cloud]

Optimization: the game

Huh?

[feral ice]

Path-tracing is not a question of optimization, you literally can't optimize path-tracing

[trim wind]

Its probably just raw power

[feral ice]

literally just raw physics based lighting

[trim wind]

I wonder if nvidea will move to some kind of coprocessor in the future, basically splitting RT cores away from the main die all together

[steep cloud]

I don’t think NVIDIA agrees

[feral ice]

you can optimize the RT cores FOR the process, but you can't optimize the process itself

[full mauve]

it’s Nvidia, they wouldn’t do such a thing

[trim wind]

Coreteks made a video on it a few years ago I believe

Well I don’t understand why AMD hasn’t done it tbh

Probably a great way to bypass a lot of fiddling with the hardware restrictions

[full mauve]

AMD isn’t that far into ray tracing just yet… so that’s probably gonna prove some difficulty

[trim wind]

Literally give yourself a second chip

[full mauve]

get a few external GPU’s and hook it up to your system 🧠, that’s gonna work wonders, maybe

[steep cloud]

You mean they can’t right now, or can’t do it ever?

[trim wind]

Sli is dead

External is just moving the source and adding latency

[steep cloud]

Because I’d guess 1 smart egg could come along and put some mathematical trickery into the process

[trim wind]

And bandwidth limitations

[steep cloud]

Optimizing it good

[trim wind]

Thats what supersampling is.. smart maths

[steep cloud]

Yeah, but there’s always smarter maths

[coarse sleet]

Good morning everyone

[steep cloud]

Mørnin’!

[coarse sleet]

How is everyone

[steep cloud]

We have all turned a bright purple

[full mauve]

hiii Jag

[feral ice]

Fundamentally, if you try to change the way path-tracing calculates the rays, then it's no longer path-tracing

[full mauve]

guess it’ll need a new name

[steep cloud]

I mean it’s just some kind of ray tracing, right? Just with extra bounces..

[feral ice]

no

[full mauve]

kinda sounded like it

but with some more cool stuff

[steep cloud]

Ok, I must’ve misunderstood the concept then, mb

[feral ice]

that's fair, i'll give a more in-depth explanation in 5 min, currently doing support on a ticket

[feral ice]

Ray-tracing: Basically CHOOSEN light sources blast a bunch of rays in all direction that is then traced for a single bounce to the end point. Hens why it's called ray-tracing

Path-Tracing: Every single light source in a scene sends out ONE ray, and that ray then bounces and scatters into multiple other rays a multitude of times, those rays then have their path's traced and calculated... Hens why it's called Path-tracing

@full mauve also a better explanation to you 🙂

[sharp phoenix]

So is path tracing more demanding than RT?

[feral ice]

yes, as that 1 ray scatters and multiplies into millions of rays as it bounces and scatters on every surface it hits. Just like real light

And when you have maybe 300 as random average number of light sources, that means at first impact you already have 300 rays, those 300 rays then keep bouncing and multiplying.

[steep cloud]

1 ray doesn’t necessarily multiply on scattering in real life. Ray tracing can and often does do more than 1 bounce

[soft locust]

Discord sounds going great so far

[steep cloud]

Maybe I’m just not understanding the difference between path tracing and ray tracing with increased exposure

I’ll have to read up on it myself

[sharp phoenix]

What is a sound for sex cancel?

[soft locust]

oh bruh

[sharp phoenix]

Ah

[coarse sleet]

Hey guys :)

[sharp phoenix]

Hey gob

I don't mean to alarm you all

But hammer is ready this weekend :)

[sharp phoenix]

Oh shitt

[sand jacinth]

Just recovering from a cut on my cheek from airsofting and I'm vain so I refuse to be seen with a gross scab on my face :V

[sharp phoenix]

Wear some face protection newb

[sand jacinth]

I wear eyepro or a gas mask

So either full face or JUST eyes, no in between

Also, grats on finalist bro :)

Slooooowly making my way there

[sharp phoenix]

Thanks bro

Aren't you supposed to be asleep ?

[sand jacinth]

Good ol' insomnia

So I'm just gonna go help my dad with his bathroom for a couple hours, resin reinforce some bricks

[feral ice]

it of course depends on the surface it hits, but path tracing is a closer imitation of real life photon physics, than ray-tracing is

[sharp phoenix]

Fair

[coarse sleet]

fairr

[steep cloud]

From what a small google search tells me it seems the main difference is ray tracing allows for a set amount of ray “bounces” while path tracing reduces illuminance with a surface reflectance function and letting it essentially “fade out” on its own while sampling the overall average illuminance of each pixel to reduce the amount of calculations per pixel (still more hefty than normal ray tracing though)

Does that sound about right?

[feral ice]

sounds about right

[steep cloud]

Kinda like ray tracing, but with extra steps

Literally

[feral ice]

Kinda like Ray-tracing, but with *better steps *

[trim wind]

With more accurate results I guess

its all for the funny apparently

elon funny enough takes some moves inspired from the dictator which should say enough

like the starship rocket wasnt supposed to be pointy but he told his engineers to make it pointy to make it look scarier like straight out of the dictator

[simple fractal]

Elon just an out of touch rich person lol half the articles I read on him are just accentuating the fact he has Asperger's xD

I want a cash box in my house

[sharp phoenix]

that you can actually deposit money into?

[hidden pasture]

no that would be a cashout station

[coarse sleet]

i want a heavy build body pillow

[sharp phoenix]

but an empty cashbox would only give you $0

you need to start putting money in it for the value to increase before inserting into a cashout station

[hidden pasture]

Coins only, so that the weight will add up

[trim wind]

Rising star = 355

Contestant = 55

[sand crown]

nooo way

wait really?

[trim wind]

yup

[sharp phoenix]

isn't contestant level 1 and rising star level 2?

[sand crown]

rising star is level 3 or smth no?

[trim wind]

no.. rising star is level 5

[sharp phoenix]

ah

[trim wind]

afaik..

[sand crown]

wait that's no way is 355

bcuz i remember i got this much faster than 355

[steep cloud]

990 messages until I'm a finalist..

[sharp phoenix]

it is 355

[steep cloud]

I love chasing arbitrary titles

[sand crown]

finalist is 3900 right?

[trim wind]

need me to coach you through it like I did with @spiral phoenix

[sharp phoenix]

surprising

3955

wait so rising star is level 2 now?

[sand crown]

and thaaats sounds right! thank you <3

I'm sorry ignite :c

[trim wind]

yeah... wiki stuff xD forcing him to review in the most unnecessarily elaborate way haha and just asking him to answer random questions I made up the the relevant channels.

[sharp phoenix]

any type of reviewer is a good reviewer for us

We really cooked on the wiki fast

[sharp phoenix]

yeah, teamwork ftw

uhhhh sure

[trim wind]

I mean.. windows 11 is already on retainer? xD

[austere crag]

microsoft is already scheming something

it's odd that they recently expanded the insider program with a new channel that gets updated less often than the previous highest priority channel

[dusk mirage]

Hello frens

[austere crag]

and said new channel does not mention windows 11 at all

yes i can't wait to potentially make my PC stop working as intended

[full mauve]

[dusk mirage]

What game is doing that?

think it’s Valorant

thats a good question

[wind fjord]

Ugh I need to play this game again...beta number 2 soon?

[minor badger]

We don't have any info regarding future tests, but the release will be this year 🥳

[gusty pumice]

Kunaiiii

[vivid sparrow]

yo

what is this group’s opinion on battlefield 2042

[minor badger]

I like it

But it's nothing compared to previous titles

[waxen tree]

i dont like the class mechanics or the general ui, pre ordered at launch and in general regretted it

[vivid sparrow]

Very few were happy when they played the game at launch I bet

[waxen tree]

bf3, bf4, and bfh are where its at lol, that and bad company 2 lol

[minor badger]

Yeah I played a lot of bf4, leveled like 3 accounts to 130+

[waxen tree]

game ran terribly, had a terrible class system and still has a terrible one in my opinion, devs spent more time patching exp farms in portal than fixing the actual game, and had i known it was gonna be live service i would have bailed out from the start

[waxen tree]

you get dice la camo or the phantom operative assignment?

[minor badger]

Only Dice LA

[waxen tree]

ah still nice tho

[minor badger]

I rented a sv for it, lol

[vivid sparrow]

from what I heard, a good chunk of people including Battlefield veterans saw it coming with BFV being bad

[waxen tree]

phantom operative assignment is a pain, i had to beg people in the bf discord to join me so i could go down the stupid elevator lol

[minor badger]

Yeah that's why I never got to it, I didn't want to ask anyone to for help haha

[waxen tree]

i hoped it would be different, my reasoning for not buying bfv was out of principle with all the pre launch debates

[waxen tree]

if you can manage to get a final stand dog tag and 2 other people who also have the required gear i can help ya 😂

[minor badger]

Yeah I didn't buy BFV either, only played it with gamepass

[waxen tree]

honestly one of the most annoying things is you cant even normally open up the phantom code anymore because they removed it from battlelog, i had to watch a video and memorize the url for the internet battelog and brute force my way to the screen lol

those were the last good bf days tho, watching jackfrags and his crew document the process of unlocking those complicated easter eggs

[pseudo spade]

That's why he's the GOAT, the GOATTTTTT

[vivid oar]

I enjoyed bfv a lot cuz personally it was my first time that I played a bf game with friends

So bf5 is like A tier bfv for me

[pseudo spade]

BF3-BF1 was peak Battlefield

[minor badger]

Friends can make any game way better

[vivid oar]

Ikr 😌

[pseudo spade]

I played 4 the most but Hardline was my favorite

Unpopular opinion I know

[waxen tree]

hotwire is my fav battlefield mode its so fun lol

[pseudo spade]

THIS GUY GETS IT

[waxen tree]

heist and blood money were lit and the other modes were kinda meh in that game but hotwire was a homerun of a mode

[minor badger]

I liked Hardline too, but I didn't play it that much, and nowadays there are no games whatsoever

[pseudo spade]

Hopping in the mustang with your grenade launcher buddy and Death From Above comes on... nothing tops it

It had the gamplay, the gamemodes, the levels, the music, the hate was simply because it wasn't military

shame

[waxen tree]

and dont forget the noob friendly quick level up big money servers, also known as drive only servers lol

[pseudo spade]

Haha, the social lobbies

[waxen tree]

they should have just called it Hardline and marketed it as a game produced by the team that brought you battlefield, prob would have actually been well recieved

[pseudo spade]

The biggest issue with multiplayer games :(( They have to have a playerbase

[waxen tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C878mEUzro&ab_channel=NeebsGaming

[pseudo spade]

Some of my favorite games have died because there weren't enough players

[minor badger]

Yeah, good thing bf4 and bf1 still have a player base, I've been playing them the last month or so, 1/4 of my pc storage are bf games hahaha

[pseudo spade]

Onrush is probably the first example I think of

[waxen tree]

unfortunately bf4 is on its way out... breaks my heart but theres only so many servers left

on the day 64 player locker/metro servers cease to exist its gonna be a hard one for me...

[minor badger]

There's this guy called Sabelo on yt, love watching his locker/metro gameplays

[hidden pasture]

All my friends play is sea of thieves

Im not saying its a bad game, but when they played bf they just played battlefield one for 2 days and thats it

[vivid oar]

Sea of thieves is more of a social game so it makes sense

I don't enjoy the lack of progression in SOT but I just play it for the socializing with friends aspect

[vivid sparrow]

Every time I think of Sea of Thieves I just can’t get my mind off its launch

https://youtu.be/8WApMtubfBM

and this song at the start of the video

it’s gotten better now for sure though

[vivid oar]

Idk it's like an RPG type game

But the only progression is for skins -.-

I wish you could like progress your gear and then your boat upgrades and stuff

Sounds like I would spend hours into it but without it it feels unrewarding so I stopped

Felt like I had no objective to pursue

[violet horizon]

haiii!

[trim wind]

Omg.. I’ve been sitting in the train opposite of a student of mine for the past 30 minutes

Its so awkward

[violet horizon]

oh no hahaha

[trim wind]

Haha we managed to avoid each other long enough

[late prawn]

Mornin!

[cinder wedge]

Good afternoon

[trim wind]

And a good morning to you to! Glad you are here too

[violet horizon]

heyy Partikel!

[feral ice]

too busy making memes for

https://tenor.com/view/wiggle-jackie-flathead-cyberpunk2077-dance-gif-26400729

[trim wind]

Ah ok I thought there was something more serious going on

[feral ice]

the new update though

https://tenor.com/view/deadpool-movie-marvel-fox-xmen-gif-24599625

[trim wind]

Oh I bet.. I thought it was only visual but I assume its also the new dlc?

[pseudo spade]

Good morning!

[gleaming ether]

almost waiting eight weeks for exam results now. the forums got pretty wild by now; people are not exactly happy. now the prof began flaming about our faculty lmfao

[sharp phoenix]

Morning

[trim wind]

We have a rule in place which means grades have to be posted within 3 weeks after turning it in

[gleaming ether]

that would be nice 🥹

afaik they have two months here

[trim wind]

Pretty sure there is a similar rule everywhere or at least “a rule”

Ah ok.. well then he has 1 week left innit

[gleaming ether]

yup, last week for him now. he also said he'll be finished by the end of this week... and then started shitting on our faculty lol (he comes from a different). he also said 1 month ago that we shouldn't expect results before mid-march. well, i guess he didn't lie. but our expectations were a bit different :D

[trim wind]

But is it the faculty’s fault he didn’t finish grading yet?

[gleaming ether]

yeah he is not wrong, they could've given him more help than 1 guy helping him with correcting and 2 people overseeing the exam. he got some help from the other faculty too tho

[trim wind]

Idk man I do it all on my own

Within 3 weeks

[gleaming ether]

ohh right you're a teacher too?

[trim wind]

Yeah

I dunno how big these exams are of course.. and how many

[gleaming ether]

ohh cool stuff, what do you teach?

[trim wind]

English

[sharp phoenix]

That explains a lot

[gleaming ether]

ohoh 👀

[trim wind]

What?

[sharp phoenix]

So we need some English Lit tutoring

[gleaming ether]

yeah one day i see povich going completely bonkers and correct everyone

[trim wind]

Why do you think I involve myself with the wiki hehe

[gleaming ether]

ENGLISH TEACHER ON-DUTY

[trim wind]

I (also) was a Graphic Designer until 2018

[sharp phoenix]

Big change up in career

[gleaming ether]

oh nice

[sharp phoenix]

Ah

[trim wind]

But I want to limit that bit as much as possible because I am notoriously difficult with design choices.. that’s why I like Luke

He does what I don’t want to do haha

But still listens to me at times

A MAN OF REASON

[sharp phoenix]

I am finally a man of reason after all these years

Also I remember why I don't like taking a week off work

So many teams messages and emails to go through

[trim wind]

Oof

What work do you do again?

[sharp phoenix]

IT Tech, basically just azure DevOps crap

[sand jacinth]

Morning all!

Guess who got an emergency call out a whole 2 hours after he finally got to sleep

https://tenor.com/view/tired-af-crying-sad-kid-baby-gif-16784052

[gleaming ether]

oo DevOps

[feral ice]

it's just new lighting, no other content. But the lighting completely changes the overall feel of the game for the better + brings the game way ahead any other game available graphically... Some places the changes aren't noticeable, other places it's a HUGE change

[trim wind]

Hmmm I need to upgrade my gpu before I can enjoy any of its beauty haha

[cinder wedge]

I thought they were gonna change the cop system

[soft locust]

Me?

[sand jacinth]

You too?

[trim wind]

Youuuu

[trim wind]

Aaahhh

[feral ice]

my fellow tech wizard

[sand jacinth]

It me :))))

[feral ice]

swish and flick, now the wi-fi works again

[soft locust]

No lmao

[cinder wedge]

So where's the hammer eating

[sharp phoenix]

we all just

[rotund gyro]

HELLO

GOOD DAY

[gleaming ether]

HELLO GOOD DAY

[sharp phoenix]

g'day

[rotund gyro]

How are you doing, friends?

[sharp phoenix]

going through a fuck ton of emails and getting a whole load of "well, this was due last week so can you do it now?"

[rotund gyro]

Nice

[sharp phoenix]

as the other person seemed to not want to do it while I was on leave apparently

[rotund gyro]

Nice.

[gleaming ether]

driving my grandma to the teeth doctor now, after she woke me up one hour before i need to drive her to the appointment with "yOu DoNt fOrGoT rIgHt?" ah yes, i love it.

[sharp phoenix]

yep, apart from that it's nearly Friday

how are you doing?

[rotund gyro]

Double, triple nice.

I'm good! Doing some documentation and then have a meeting at 13

[sharp phoenix]

ah, nice

[trim wind]

I just prepped a meeting room that has terrible acoustics

Yeeted in 2 fat boys and every cushion I could get my hands on haha

[sharp phoenix]

[feral ice]

eyo @hoary eagle Path-tracing in TheFinals, when?

[hoary eagle]

I read "Yeeted 2 fat boys" like what?

[feral ice]

Now that CP2077 have done it, everyone else needs to do it obviously

[hoary eagle]

I can trace my own path in-game for you if you need, will that do?

[feral ice]

yes please, a single "path-trace" thank you very much

[austere crag]

The homo sapiens will become a multi-planetary species before we get the computational power to render full path tracing in a constantly changing environment

[feral ice]

we can literally run full path-tracing in Cp2077...

[hoary eagle]

they got... destruction now?

[austere crag]

barely.

[hoary eagle]

real cool "first showing", curious to see where the tech goes

[feral ice]

i mean TECHNICALLY there is wall destruction in one of the first missions, and car + window destruction in most of the game

[feral ice]

i wouldn't say 80+ fps at 4k is barely, it's of course with a upscaler, but it still counts in my opinion 🤔

[hoary eagle]

you running that 4090 deluxe edition my dude? 😄

[feral ice]

hell yeah boio

https://tenor.com/view/room-explosion-explosion-room-gif-20890920

turning on native 4k Path-tracing be like

[austere crag]

I don’t see the reason to upgrade. I am 100% aware that even if i time travel 1000 years and get the RGTXF27000 Ti Super I’ll still have issues with lag spikes in minecraft

[feral ice]

ain't that the truth

[austere crag]

The wonders of spaghetti code™️

[gleaming ether]

programmers like pasta

[trim wind]

Its my workout routine..

[feral ice]

I'm a self-proclaimed graphics.... well i don't which word or description to use that won't get me banned, but it's the best word i could use to describe the fact that i use an extreme amount of money for the best shinies in graphical advancement

a graphics... sellout? 🤔 doesn't sound right to describe the severity of the situation

[hoary eagle]

Povich the Stronk™

[austere crag]

I think it’s a bit more like an electricity provider’s worst nightmare

[trim wind]

Nah, they were green.. ez

[feral ice]

i like to joke that when i turn on my pc, the power in my city flickers for a short moment

[trim wind]

Tbf I used FSR to play The Finals on 1440p

[austere crag]

Every time you turn on your PC, a night guard in a non-specific pizza establishment in a different timeline experiences a power outage, followed by death

[full mauve]

what’s the cause 👀

[frigid wave]

https://tenor.com/view/city-lights-lights-off-gif-14713523

[sharp phoenix]

FSR is decent

[trim wind]

It wasn’t bad

I don’t think anyone noticed on any of my clips it was upscaled

I noticed a little grainy edges at times

But nothing that would make me think…

[feral ice]

https://tenor.com/view/power-outage-black-out-power-off-lights-off-lights-out-gif-12030282

[frigid wave]

Those gifs could have some one light spot at the end, would be more accurate for our needs

[feral ice]

I dunno Google you tell me

[trim wind]

I love this video! that’s the Dutch opportunism we all know and UNCONDITIONALLY love

(That clip specifically is about how the Dutch were like.. oh you have a war? Let us sell you out guns 😄)

[coarse sleet]

Is that

Povich

How are you

[trim wind]

I’m alright, you?

[coarse sleet]

I'm good just watching yt

[trim wind]

Good good

I was going to supervise/give out some exams but no shows 😦

Have to find out if something went wrong or not

[feral ice]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-worried-oh-no-anxious-gif-11565777

[sharp phoenix]

steeseries wants me to destroy my keyboard instead of me having to send it back to them

I like it

[cinder wedge]

Wtf

[coarse sleet]

do it

[cinder wedge]

Based steelseries

[coarse sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/based-gigachad-chad-gif-23901955

[austere crag]

Apple please fire whoever wrote this App Store story

[cinder wedge]

When the destruction leaks out of THE FINALS and into steelseries products

[cinder wedge]

What the hell

[austere crag]

This is common practice for them, my first Aerox 3 went face to face with a hammer before it had to be RMA’d for a problem with the (quite flimsy) housing

[coarse sleet]

break keyboard

[sharp phoenix]

it's nearly a £200 keyboard, you'd think they would want it back

[austere crag]

I am both extremely concerned and fascinated while looking at this picture

[coarse sleet]

i would try it

[cinder wedge]

Sus

[austere crag]

among us chicken nuggets with sussy sauce

[sharp phoenix]

well, keyboard is now destroyed

[violet horizon]

I want to try it

If people don't like it, they are goin to say it tastes like a dirt block. Just wait

[coarse sleet]

it probably is dirt block flavored

[cinder wedge]

can you show us how destroyed it is

[sharp phoenix]

not too messy

will probably take a hammer to it at some point once they accept the "broken usb-c"

[coarse sleet]

wtf did you do to it

[sharp phoenix]

they told me to destroy the usb-c port

[coarse sleet]

so you actually did it

[sharp phoenix]

yeah

it's for steelseries RMA

[safe valve]

def repairable but are you sending it back in? or do you get to keep it?

[coarse sleet]

i cant believe you actually did it

[sharp phoenix]

get to keep it

[safe valve]

no way lmao

[cinder wedge]

this is a certified r/hardwaregore moment

[safe valve]

i can fix that port in 30 seconds lol

[gleaming ether]

wtf

[safe valve]

well at the bare minimum you got some spare keys/caps

[sharp phoenix]

I wanted a replacement keyboard, it was either destroy the USB-C port or ship it back to them

destroying the usb-c port is just easier

[gleaming ether]

lollll

[coarse sleet]

[safe valve]

haha thats awesome, kinda e wasteish but awesome!

[sharp phoenix]

and also destroy the S/N apart from the last 4 digits for some reason

[cinder wedge]

yeah that's kinda weird

[sharp phoenix]

on the bright side, they have already replied

[safe valve]

bruv momemnt my kids tablet wasnt charging but it still had power for days until it finally ran out of juice.
I sent a repair request to samsung because it was still under warranty.
They said they wouldnt repair it and it was water damaged.
I said I would pay for the repair p.p, they said no and sent it back in pieces.

Bought 10 USD port.
2 minute repair.
Tablets been working ever since.

I literally wasted more time and money/effort talking to support rather than just fixing it myself p.p

[sharp phoenix]

I probably will try repairing the usb-c port, the keyboard switches though are kinda fucked

[safe valve]

Also i have that exact board... what went wrong?

oh you just said the switches lul

[sharp phoenix]

it wouldn't detect if I was holding a key down

got very annoying while trying to play games

[safe valve]

yeah i can imagine. looks like you have the newer version. Pretty sure i have a GEN 1. No issues so far.

[sharp phoenix]

apart from that though, really good keyboard

[safe valve]

bro i am blind today (you have the 23' version lul. i have a 21' vs)

[sharp phoenix]

tbf from what I've heard, the 2023 version is shitter than the older gens

[austere crag]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IwPKsGfgEY

holy shit what a chonker

[hoary eagle]

chonkers ftw

[austere crag]

That ain’t a toolkit that’s a whole ass warehouse

[safe valve]

makes sense they probablly found a lotta ways to manufacture it for less

also you dont really need like 90% of that

[bleak turret]

That is a warehouse I'd love to have

that looks awesome

[safe valve]

those little chineese auto drivers have like 75% of that kit XD

called a wowstick lol

[gleaming ether]

300$

not bad

[safe valve]

usually 35-60$

[sharp phoenix]

https://next.wooting.io/uwu

[cinder wedge]

of course the osu keypad is named uwu

[safe valve]

yeah mixed up names lol wooting makes that baller 60E keeb

Wowstick makes those repair drivers

[sharp phoenix]

I kinda want to buy a wooting keyboard

[safe valve]

I have one a friend gave me and they are pretty awesome. screws both ways, has small light. magnetic tip. full little compact kit of all kinds of drivers. works well, battery lasts forever.

[austere crag]

There’s one repair I could dare myself to do but it would most likely cause me immense mental pain and that’s a keyboard replacement on a 2016 MBP of mine

[safe valve]

I heard they are amazing, my friend loves his!

[sharp phoenix]

I mean Wirtual using his wooting keyboard fucked ice completely on trackmania

[safe valve]

Also Optimum Tech swears its the best possible keeb u can get, calls it literally cheating lul.

https://youtu.be/EuULrGtbDy4

[sharp phoenix]

it also caused a fuck load of controversy on trackmania due to a high profile streamer using it's feature to set the max input to 34% which then everyone was like "omg that's cheating, ban ban ban"

which then led to the devs being like "yeah, that's not allowed anymore" and then changing the physics of ice in the game to make it shit

all because of a Wooting keyboard

[safe valve]

LOL

Epic

[sharp phoenix]

great video if you have to time to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUvtt0Li98g

[gleaming ether]

i love to hear about such dramas :D

[austere crag]

God I hope 2023 or 2024 are the final years of Facebook (or Meta, whatever) as a company

Because so far their situation looks pretty grim

[raven meadow]

noo now i wont be able to message my african dad from the bushes

[sharp phoenix]

meta aint gonna die anytime soon

[cinder wedge]

i don't think facebook is going anywhere anytime soon

[austere crag]

Currently it seems like they’re stuck in mismanagement hell

A common trend for social media companies at the moment from what I can tell

[dull pebble]

what a beaut

[ornate maple]

@reef linden I love that pirate Nama

[austere crag]

0 seconds 👍

[reef linden]

[gritty ember]

idk why, but i do like the useless strap it has

[coarse sleet]

strap

[sharp phoenix]

so you can use it like a wii controller

[gleaming ether]

finally I can wear my keyboard around me when going outside

[gritty ember]

i mean if its as heavy as mine it could be a weapon

[gritty ember]

rocking up at local library's to bully old people at solitaire

[cinder wedge]

the funny strap

[coarse sleet]

that strap can save some keyboards

u know how many people throw there keyboards

[sharp phoenix]

think it would be more useful on like xbox/ps controllers

[coarse sleet]

i agree

[gritty ember]

bring back phone stapes, phones stopped fitting in my hand years ago

[coarse sleet]

no

[gritty ember]

tbh i have one and it causes me to throw my phone more times then its saved it

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-doofenshmirtz-rikka-spin-anime-gif-18905749

[cinder wedge]

what in the hell

[gritty ember]

idk what the f**k i just found, i wish i could go back in time to before i searched "finger spinning" into the gifs. i think I've just about had enough internet tonight

[violet horizon]

yes, thats my next keyboard, i mean not exactly like that

[gritty ember]

@everyone keyboard pic?

[spiral phoenix]

[violet horizon]

[steep cloud]

I didn't

[gleaming ether]

[steep cloud]

I'm just here to wizard up the place

[violet horizon]

[steep cloud]

Thank technology*

[gritty ember]

[coarse sleet]

💀

[austere crag]

[gusty pumice]

That would be a lot of eyes

[full mauve]

why… why would one do such a thing

[coarse sleet]

only he knows

[gusty pumice]

also idk why we are showing keyboard pics

[austere crag]

are we?

[coarse sleet]

why not

[gusty pumice]

we are?

[coarse sleet]

no

[gusty pumice]

ohk

[coarse sleet]

[austere crag]

[coarse sleet]

[gusty pumice]

[bleak turret]

Oooooooooo

[trim wind]

[coarse sleet]

[austere crag]

[bleak turret]

Oh nice, I really love the colors too

[austere crag]

is that a mousepad?

[coarse sleet]

desk mat

[austere crag]

very nice

i used to have a traditional mexican table cloth on my desk

[coarse sleet]

The keys arent translucent sadly

[violet horizon]

....you already know...

[coarse sleet]

kunai we are flexing our keyboards

what keyboard you got

[violet horizon]

An old one

[austere crag]

uuughh the shine thru plastic case is bomb

[coarse sleet]

show it

[violet horizon]

[bleak turret]

I just have my K65, feeling smol here

[violet horizon]

id love to have a small keyboard

60%

i think its how they call them idk

[austere crag]

yea 60% is small

[coarse sleet]

60 or 90% tkl?

[austere crag]

but annoying to use

mines a 75% i think

[coarse sleet]

i use to have a 60 percent keyboard god they are awful

[austere crag]

[coarse sleet]

lmao

[violet horizon]

this is what i want

[coarse sleet]

i want to switch out my keyswitches for either milky reds or holy pandas

holy pandas make me act up

[austere crag]

solid keyboard

[austere crag]

pandas are great

but imo aquakings are a bit better

specially with led's shining thru

[violet horizon]

i wanted a hand made white dragon style space bar, let me see if i can find it... but i knew about it after it got sold i want it so much... now i need to wait

[coarse sleet]

i thought about dragon fruit switches for the memes

but milky reds is the road im gonna go down

like dragon fruit switches look cool

[austere crag]

milky reds are nice

[coarse sleet]

but thats about it

[violet horizon]

this one

[austere crag]

dragon taking a bath

[violet horizon]

yeah i really like it

[coarse sleet]

yoo thats cool

[violet horizon]

i dont wanna spend a lot on my next keyboard, but i might...

[austere crag]

wait on artisan keycaps lmao

[violet horizon]

i usually spend a lot on things i spend my time with

[austere crag]

fair

[violet horizon]

yeah

[austere crag]

but artisan keycaps look cool but they sound not so good

from the resin

[coarse sleet]

kunai you gonna build your next keyboard or get just get it prebuilt?

[violet horizon]

idk about that, i rly need to do my research

[austere crag]

the wooting is a prebuilt

[violet horizon]

no... im gonna learn and build it myself

[austere crag]

that also uses dedicated switches

[violet horizon]

like my pc... i learnt about hardware and built it myself

[coarse sleet]

[violet horizon]

im self thing learnings

i like to learn

but i only do so if im interested

[austere crag]

for keyboards to start use hot swap boards

so you dont have to learn to use a soldering iron

[coarse sleet]

i respect it

[austere crag]

unless you have one already

[violet horizon]

yeah and i think that keyboard is nicer and easier to work with

[coarse sleet]

i agree with getting one that can be hot swappable

[violet horizon]

since they kept those things in mind while building it

[coarse sleet]

kunai is gonna get those all metal keyboard case they weighs likes 5k pounds

[austere crag]

oh man not the brass ones

the ceramic keycaps were expensive already cant imagine metal

[coarse sleet]

anything but the brass ones

[austere crag]

need car suspension springs for brass keycaps

a bug already, new season is off to a stellar start

is it not playable or the names messed up?

[waxen tree]

guess you gotta pay for that extra script dlc lol

[austere crag]

a functional menu is part of the blackcell bundle

infinityward wondering why people are dropping call of duty while this happens

regularly

[waxen tree]

just wait yall, one of these days a company is gonna charge full price for a game but you will have to buy a dlc pack to get an actual working menu

[waxen tree]

cant imagine why people would be leaving...

[austere crag]

honestly i have no clue

[coarse sleet]

no idea why

[waxen tree]

i know cod is a giant that will prob never die but i feel like its reign will be over soon

[austere crag]

its not the reign will be over. it can be changed if activision gets their priorities straight with the franchise

cod cant truly die out unless the investors start dropping out which given the player counts is maybe happening already

[waxen tree]

i think its slowly been happening but with the hype of mw2 dying out its just getting worse

[steep cloud]

I pre ordered Mw2

played the beta and was like "ok it's bad, but it's just a beta"

Played another 300 hours and unlocked orion so I feel like I can be trusted when I say: MW2 and WZ2 is a horrendously bad game

[austere crag]

i refuned mw2 after playing 3 mp matches

it was that bad lmao

not even remotely enjoyable to play

[steep cloud]

Yeah, I kept trying to convince myself because I didn't have anything else to play at the time, but it was baaad

[sour plank]

Biggest gripe I have with COD nowadays is with their menus 👀

[steep cloud]

Menus were bad, gameplay was horrible

[sharp phoenix]

you don't like the shitty hulu menus?

[coarse sleet]

i agree

[steep cloud]

I loved MW 2019 though

[austere crag]

agreeed

[sour plank]

can we just go back to cod on xbox live days

[austere crag]

2019 was actually good

[sour plank]

minus voice chat

[steep cloud]

The only reason I bought MW2 was because I thought they realized MW2 was close to perfection of the CoD formula

[austere crag]

the voice chats made cod wat it was back then wdym

13yo me had a blast on mw2

[steep cloud]

noooo

it was foul, but it was glorious

[austere crag]

it was foul and that made it glorious

[sour plank]

i mean, i agree joining the lobby with people fighting each other is always funny, just y'know, the internet lol

[steep cloud]

The internet do be internettin' these days, that's for sure

[sour plank]

fair point right there

[sharp phoenix]

whenever I spoke in voice chat I always got abused for having a lisp

was quite annoying

[coarse sleet]

same

[austere crag]

my best memories were mw2 cod lobbies everyone in the lobby with mics on dogpiling eachother

you can get similar results now with battlebit remastered with like 30+ people with voip on saying "aaaaaaaaaa" before the game starts

[sharp phoenix]

battlebit is just funny af

and everyone is usually SUPER nice

[coarse sleet]

cap

[sharp phoenix]

no u

[austere crag]

i can confirm this

[sharp phoenix]

one of my fans are running at 100% and is loud af

[austere crag]

why?

[sharp phoenix]

no idea

I restarted and it just started running at 100% and won't go back down

[austere crag]

interesting

thats odd

maybe its a vrius

[sharp phoenix]

nah, looks like the lian li controller is just fucking up

bit high of an RPM for the quiet preset

[gleaming ether]

looks like alien technology

[sharp phoenix]

yeah, one of the fans is just running at max RPM

[gleaming ether]

let him have his fun!

[sharp phoenix]

and now it's fixed after jamming a finger in there to stop it for a few seconds

[austere crag]

just needed forceful reminding

[sharp phoenix]

apparently so

yay, finally got my voucher code for a replacement keyboard

i just couldnt get into cod visually with mw2, like i legit couldnt see people in the beta. everything was so washed out and people blended so well into headglitches ect maybe it was just my graphical settings but i legit tried like everything to fix it, didnt have any issues with mw2019

[gusty pumice]

I've been playing rocket league

[coarse sleet]

I've been playing tarkov

[violet horizon]

[gusty pumice]

[safe valve]

[gusty pumice]

oooooof

[pseudo spade]

After the video I can't bring myself to launch it anymore

[coarse sleet]

Just do it anyways

[pseudo spade]

I have been playing Hunt Showdown as a substitute

[coarse sleet]

I want to play that

[austere crag]

I wanna try hunt showdown

[gusty pumice]

I heard about that game

[sharp phoenix]

great game

[coarse sleet]

But how good

That's the question

[austere crag]

Ive watched streams of it its fun and strategic

[sharp phoenix]

it's a slow extraction type shooter, the gun fights tend to be quiet slow paced as the guns aren't auto guns nor fast firing unless you have a pistol with that perk

you either end up being shot in the head through multiple wood walls or you spend like 10 - 15 minutes having a massive gun fight if you're in a 3v3

a lot less stressful than tarkov though (if you played tarkov) and just easier to have fun imo

[soft crystal]

woo, sold my ps5

[full mauve]

how much you sell it for?

also why?

[soft crystal]

converted into gbp, around 425 pounds

[full mauve]

:o

[violet horizon]

thats really heavy

[soft crystal]

it's been just sitting there, 15 hours of playtime in 2 years total

[full mauve]

damn

[soft crystal]

I mean that was its default price

[full mauve]

that’s barely been used then

[soft crystal]

yea
