[vague kettle]

still seeing if anybody can give me ts game. been like 2 months or less since i ve been wanting it

[fast nymph]

get yo money up not yo funny up

[crude wagon]

Definitely, it should run fine on medium settings.

[vague kettle]

what

[vague kettle]

MEDIUM settings only? thats a high end pc

[crude wagon]

Probably high

[fast nymph]

game got shit optimization ngl

[crude wagon]

With DLSS on Quality

[sage steeple]

Thats potato

[vague kettle]

could my friend pc run half sword? he got a 3060 ti and 32gb ram ddr4 and a i5 9400f i think i dont remember it all perfect

[sage steeple]

Yes

[fast nymph]

the most "optimizing" they've done is remove some grass and made the blood better-er

[vague kettle]

i dont understand how such a game is not optimized well. it lwky pisses me off. also gta 6 I THINK could run more smoothly than half sword ( i know its a indie company, just saying)

[crude wagon]

Probably low settings with DLSS on Balanced

[fast nymph]

people out here with NASA computers they got from their rich ahh parents absolutely meatriding the devs saying that its optimized too 💔

[vague kettle]

😭

[vague kettle]

yup, even high end pcs cant run it well. i was surprised when i was playing on my friend pc(not the high end pcs am talking about) that could run anything i found this game (the playtest) rarely going up more than 50fps on medium settings. like what? i had to play with no shadows on for it to be playable.

[crude wagon]

I dont have a NASA PC, If you want a good deal use Jawa.gg, I bought my pc from there

[vague kettle]

i mean the pc i was talking about aint a high end its like a medium+ or something

[vague kettle]

your pc can run it well? on what settings

[crude wagon]

Mid range

[vague kettle]

yup

[fast nymph]

WHY IS MILITUS BACK, I JUST NOTICED

[vague kettle]

i last saw this game when it released i thought the optimzation problems will be fixed my now

[crude wagon]

Epic settings on all maps with no DLSS and 4x frame gen except Forest map, I use High settings and 4x frame gen on the forest map.

[vague kettle]

4x frame gen is probably whats making it run well

[crude wagon]

I dont get any Input lag with Frame gen, unless on Epic settings on forest

[vague kettle]

frame gen dont give that much input lag. people be saying so cause its a trend to be hating on ai

whats your graphic card aswell?

[crude wagon]

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 TI 16 GB's VRAM

[vague kettle]

thats good

[crude wagon]

And honestly It wasnt bad to get either

200 a month

Didnt have to put down a downpayment or nun

Definitely check out Jawa.gg if you want a good deal

(Not sponsored)

XD

[vague kettle]

its with down payments? thats really good

[mighty ermine]

bro financed a gpu im crine

[bright ember]

That's what I'm saying😭

[bright ember]

Bro bought his shi from the Merchant😭

[mighty ermine]

unless it's literally a work expense, financing a PC part is one of the dumbest things imaginable

Honestly financing anything that isn't a car or house is pretty dumb

[bright ember]

Yesss

[mighty ermine]

its not a trend to hate on ai, ai just fucking sucks

I hope the AI supporters enjoy the water wars in 20 years

if even

[hybrid granite]

water vapor

[crude wagon]

No, I financed an entire PC

[mighty ermine]

dear god

[crude wagon]

Im not that stupid to finance just a GPU 💀

[hybrid granite]

its crazy 😔

cant wait to get a new gpu and stay with it cause mine currently sucks

[mighty ermine]

financing just a gpu would've been smarter

Nobody agrees with you

[crude wagon]

I got a GeForce RTX 5070ti, 32 GB's DDR5 ram, Intel Core Ultra 7 265K.

I think you just might be jealous

[bright ember]

I think you're just interesting

[crude wagon]

And it helps build credit too soooooo

Im already 1 month ahead in payments

Is it Exanima?

[hoary oxide]

Its hellish quart

[crude wagon]

Can you put it into MP4 format?

[hoary oxide]

It always happens when I record with steam. Works for like 50% of people idk whats with that

[crude wagon]

Hell naw Microsoft

They out here tweaking

[hoary oxide]

Its supposedly MP4 already

[hoary oxide]

I exported it to my SSD so maybe this will work

[crude wagon]

Still aint working

Idfk

Shits bugged

[hoary oxide]

I should just download a normal clipping software at this point. Not medal tho it sucks ass

[crude wagon]

Just use OBS

[lofty kindle]

Have you tried Steams built in recording feature?

[bright ember]

That sucks too

[hoary oxide]

Yes and that is why the video doesn't work for half the people

[bright ember]

Do Xbox Game Bar recording

It dosen't tank fps when recording

Windows G

[lofty kindle]

Yeah I lucked out it works great for me.

[hoary oxide]

The recording part is fine except some small bugs but sharing it is the infuriating part because for some people videos from steam just won't play

And seems like valve is not going to update it further

[crude wagon]

Sup beast

[crude wagon]

Exactly

I aint just gonna throw 2000 dollars straight up

Financing was my best option

Plus my pc was broken and couldn’t fix it

I needed a new pc anyways

[vague kettle]

just so you know... water cooled data centers didnt have its first appearance with ai. its a trend

[sinful loom]

[exotic sandal]

Will there EVER be multiplayer

[cobalt shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/127hater-twt-gif-24974064

[mighty ermine]

because adding something that consumes disproportionately more when we already have a drinkability crisis staring us in the face, whilst also not investing further into the kind of infrastructure to recycle that water or increase drinkability, was clearly a great idea

What you said was dumb and I'd expect nothing less from someone with their name set to "Someone buy me this game" 😭

[vague kettle]

please.. simple english. not a single word got in my head

[mighty ermine]

Stay in school

[crude wagon]

Kinda wish it would... But it's whatever.

[vague kettle]

am saying what your saying is just hard to understand for no reason

[crude wagon]

#faq

[mighty ermine]

It's not hard to understand, literacy rates are just in free fall

[vague kettle]

you know steam also does the same thing right? steam and tiktok or ANYTHING that requires internet literally uses water cooled centers. whats your point

[crude wagon]

I am saying what you're saying, it's just hard to understand, for no reason.*

[vague kettle]

and that water is RECYCLED. theres something called a water cycle

[mighty ermine]

Do you know how the water cycle actually works?

[vague kettle]

wait what was i thinking when i wrote ts

oh never mind i understood it

[vague kettle]

yes

[mighty ermine]

The majority of water goes into the ocean, or into other non-drinkable reservoirs

[vague kettle]

the water turns into vapor comes back into lakes

or just rains normally

took it in school

[mighty ermine]

On top of that just because water goes through the cycle again doesn't always mean it's drinkable again anyway

And datacenters use fresh water

[vague kettle]

it does

[mighty ermine]

The only way to make non freshwater drinkable is to desalinate it which consumes large amounts of energy

[crude wagon]

People are just freaking out about there being no more fresh water, it literally rains...

[vague kettle]

only h2o is what becomes vapor and then becomes condensed again and thats how it rains

[mighty ermine]

Hell, not even all freshwater is drinkable

[mighty ermine]

Do you have your highschool diploma yet

[vague kettle]

why would you need a answer to this

[mighty ermine]

Because, based on your responses, I get the feeling you're making hasty generalizations based on things you got told in elementary school

[crimson garden]

Nearly a million gallons of water a day per data center on average, if you think that is sustainable you need to go back to school

[mighty ermine]

^

[vague kettle]

by your logic you should uninstall any social media you have because it also uses data cooled centers

[mighty ermine]

AI isn't the only problem either, but it's definitely more fuel to the fire

[mighty ermine]

Yes, actually, it would be a good idea

[vague kettle]

never seen anyone talk about anything other than ai

[mighty ermine]

Except humans are too stupid for that

[vague kettle]

discord does aswell

[crude wagon]

And there are billions of gallons of water being generated everyday.

[mighty ermine]

Majority of that is freshwater

OVERWHELMING majority

The problem we're facing is when we run out of freshwater

[crude wagon]

Data centers' indirect water consumption is roughly 628 million gallons daily, a fraction of total US water usage.

[vague kettle]

you know theres something called a water cycle... right? and most of the time like 80-70% the water that used to cool down the centers is recycled inside the centers and used again so it doesnt use new water

[mighty ermine]

it's pretty easy to make freshwater drinkable, but to make saltwater drinkable you have to desalinate which takes a lot of energy

[vague kettle]

and even some data centers of ai use air

[crimson garden]

AI not only fucks the water, but YOU pay for it. Or atleast in my area we are forced to pick up extra electric costs (upwards of 90-100 extra) because of how hard it is on our local power grid

[mighty ermine]

Do some actual reading about the water cycle and drinkability I beg you

The water cycle is not a magical bandaid or silver bullet that fixes everything

[vague kettle]

you know ai isnt the MAIN issue of that. it may even affect you as little as 1%

maybe even not affecting you at all

its just a trend to hate ai

[crimson garden]

You're smoking dick if you think 90-100 dollars extra every month is barely affecting people

[vague kettle]

and how do you know that ai is the cause?

ai been here since 1956

[crude wagon]

US data centers consumed roughly 228 billion gallons of water in 2023, with approximately 17 billion gallons used directly for cooling and 211 billion gallons indirectly for electricity. While this represents a small fraction of total U.S. water usage, estimated at roughly 0.04% in 2024.

[vague kettle]

and now people complaining about it now

[mighty ermine]

mfs not realizing generating their little monkey picture or video of a pug with a hat on takes more resources than providing netflix streaming to hundreds of users

[crude wagon]

Not even 1% of water

[vague kettle]

see? and that water is often more than not reused again

[crimson garden]

https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/13/the-ohio-public-pays-the-price-for-big-techs-data-centers/

anyway

[mighty ermine]

Datacenters were on the low end in 2023 lol

they've consistently gotten worse

[vague kettle]

what kind of ways do you have fun? people have fun in their own ways

[mighty ermine]

I'd love to see some statistics from this year

Oh, also to be noted, a lot of datacenters are built abroad

[vague kettle]

do you have tiktok or youtube or steam perchance?

[mighty ermine]

I draw, I'm a blacksmith and armourer, I do multiple combat sports, and I play games

[crude wagon]

They're probably only using about 2-3% now

[mighty ermine]

And I don't need chatgpt to do it for me

[mighty ermine]

the part you're leaving out, btw, is that it's not exclusively an american problem

you're citing american statistics when the issue is global

The EU has more datacenters than the US, while china follows close behind

[sage steeple]

I disagree with all of you

[crimson garden]

ai bros just cannot stand not making fake animated photos of themselves to post on facebook long enough to actually pay attention lol, you're probably wasting your breath on this guy

[mighty ermine]

And other asian countries also follow closely

[crimson garden]

plus tbh he sounds young

[vague kettle]

ai is the future accept it or not

[crimson garden]

not old enough to even understand the effects

[mighty ermine]

We 100% are considering AI usage has been empirically proven to fry peoples' brains

[vague kettle]

soon enough your gonna be dealing with it everyday and you wont have anything to do about it

[mighty ermine]

And this dumbass hasn't even graduated highschool yet so his opinion is null and void regardless

[crimson garden]

lol i didnt read that part but makes sense

[crude wagon]

Data centers consume significant amounts of water for cooling, with estimates showing that a single large facility can use up to 5 million gallons daily. While total global water percentage data is limited, U.S. data centers account for roughly 0.3–0.4% of total domestic water withdrawals. AI demand is rapidly increasing this, with potential to significantly impact local resources.

[sage steeple]

Its not the sword that's bad, its the user.

[crimson garden]

with that i take my leave, i know this argument is going nowhere now 😭

[vague kettle]

why does this matter? it proves nothing

high school graduators can still be dumb

and i wont tell you if i did or not

[vague kettle]

its still is the truth

[mighty ermine]

fr lmfao

[crude wagon]

Yet some people who havent even graduated high school are smarter than most of us here

[mighty ermine]

yeah man im sure he's one of em

[sage steeple]

Did you go through anesthesia or something? I am saying one thing and you are saying another.

[crude wagon]

Never said that

XD

[vague kettle]

he or she really thinks graduating high school makes you much smarter

[vague kettle]

i didnt even understand what you said

[crimson garden]

this is why they keep bringing up education

[mighty ermine]

nah, but being that young is sure to make you dumber

[sage steeple]

Then why did you even say. And if you can't understand simple words, I don't know that you qualify to even speak in a debate.

[crimson garden]

this is the 3rd time youve said "i dont understand" in 10 minutes

[vague kettle]

how do you know am young? any proof to that?

[mighty ermine]

#general-catfish-🐱🐟 message

[vague kettle]

maybe cause you said a saying that nobody knows

[vague kettle]

ohhhhhh not understanding stuff now makes me young ohh what a great point

[crimson garden]

It isnt a common saying but if you knew about context clues youd understand it

[sage steeple]

Btw, don't rage bait people with this. There are some crazy people around discord who will take up the challenge.

[crimson garden]

so again, it is a matter of education lol

[mighty ermine]

Unfortunately a VERY significant portion of the public education system in the US is criminally underfunded, which is intentional classism designed to cause literacy and comprehension rates to free fall. People are easier to control if they don't have media or reading literacy

None of us are immune to propaganda but a lot of the population is kept too ignorant to see through it by design

Which is also part of why higher education is so important

[vague kettle]

ai was introduced in 1956 and yall are whining about it now btw

[sage steeple]

Sir Juicer typing something juicy

[crimson garden]

Yup, i was lucky enough to have parents that cared enough to teach me on their own how to read, write, what words mean, etc. Many who graduated the same year as me probably dont even know their multiplication tables because of how terrible our schooling was lol. Small town school with less than 100 ppl in my class here

There's a TON of people who are so illiterate- and I don't say that as an insult- that when you talk about reading comprehension or literacy they think you're just talking about being able to physically read the words and not what it actually means (to comprehend the meaning of a text)

[vague kettle]

for what exactly

?

[crimson garden]

instant transphobia when you start losin is crazy

[sage steeple]

Why are people even arguing about AI. Yes, it is inevitable. No, there is no problem with that.
The only problem is the humans behind AI and their control and usage without regulation.

[drowsy finch]

It's okay!! I got to sit around in the archives a bit, and I set it up so that I can examine this book that's there!! It's from 1400, so I'll probably be in References tomorrow for a bit!

Other than that it's been pretty textbook, I had a quiz that I think I may have failed, but that's okay. It's nice and chilly outside, so I went for a walk too!

The weather's kinda dreary

That's okay tho, the cloud cover is whats letting me still use my hoodeis

AI can trick ppl and thats what should be feared, i am terrified of mass hysteria or something worse that could happen if anyone in power decides to spread some AI news thats totally bs like a nuclear war or maybe something sillier like an alien invasion. if the fake is good enough it could trick lots of ppl

That's probably what's happening on a widescale, or at least I'd like to believe that's the case. I think that people really need to understand that the best an LLM can be is a note sorter, a google alternative (assumine you make it provide links and sources), or something to layman's with.

The only use case I trust is proofreading. It hallucinates to much and is prone to being a sycophant. I know I am awesome, I don't need the AI to be a yesman.

at least it's not character.ai, I knew a person who started using that to talk to them all the time and they started substituting real human relationships with chatbots

They are calling it AI psychosis. Scary stuff considering it affects people with no history of mental illness.

[drowsy finch]

Real as hell yo!! I use it mostly for pre-reading summaries, sorting out the notes i take in class, and some light source finding and analysis. That being said I also keep it on a tight leash and review all the sources it gives me

[mighty ermine]

I think the underlying issue is that humanity is more connected than ever and yet we have the least connection ever

[restive epoch]

there was a case that happend about 2 years ago where a tennage boy had an ai gf and she told him "i cant stand it anymore, when will you finally come be with me?" and the boy hecked himself after that. super sad

[weary tinsel]

not exactly possible

[lofty kindle]

I love when you ask for citations and it hallucinates one. Has been as much of an issue now that it has proper internet search.

I have friends who watched a video on Tik Tok and then used Chatgpt to research it. They did not understand that unless you demand it to think critically about the topic presented it will agree with the concept of discussion.

The best analogy I can really make for AI is that it's like the lotus petals. You take it and everything seems so easy, it promises to handle everything for you, and then you don't have to be bothered with thinking or work anymore. But that rots you from the inside, you can't think critically like you could before, and then you're incapable of functioning without it

[mighty ermine]

I genuinely forgot it even existed

[sage steeple]

I remember being sad that the first game was dying after I played my first match. Should have left it that way.

[drowsy finch]

The thing is I use it so scarecly and so surface levely that it's not an issue for me, usually finds me what I need. That being said that's where its usefulness dies for me, I just like skipping the finding an alternate database part

Nah there are some well respected academics that have fallen into the trap. They think they are doing research through the nexus of all human knowledge.

An intelligent person using a tool in a way it was not designed can and will fall victim to the pitfalls presented from misuse. There is a growing consensus that you should never talk to an AI agent in a conversational fashion.

Camos look very differently as they evolved over the years so its easy to spot if a pattern was made in early cold war or after it

I love it for research it really helps speed up finding sources on a niche topic. What used to take hours of scrolling through search results just to read a whole damn article that only mentions the topic I am looking up once.

It makes things faster, at the end of the day I still remain skeptical of anything I cannot verify from multiple novel sources.

Trichonephila

[frail geode]

I hate spiders and France is the country I saw the most in 1 field and they almost all had the wasp pattern.

[autumn storm]

Idk the species for sure but likely either T. edulis or T. plumipes

[sage steeple]

Spiders are great tbh

[mighty ermine]

oh hey mord you're in ghost's server nice

[frail geode]

Your opinion

[autumn storm]

This is objective truth

[sage steeple]

I always feel genocidal when I see spiders

[mighty ermine]

Spiders are awesome and I don't trust you if you kill everyone you see

[autumn storm]

I’m really sad about FWS

[mighty ermine]

My gf's dad has a tarantula named clarise and she's so chill

[drowsy finch]

THIS GIF IS SO SHIT QUALITY LMAO

[sage steeple]

Our opinion.

[frail geode]

You and your lil party of 3

Awwwww!!!!

[mighty ermine]

i love spiders but i am also not dumb

[frail geode]

Nobody in the right mind would

[autumn storm]

Yeah

[mighty ermine]

i raise you coyote peterson

[autumn storm]

Because of the existence of FWS I can’t free handle trapdoor spiders :(

[mighty ermine]

granted you could argue he's not in his right mind

[frail geode]

I never saw him hold one

[drowsy finch]

This guy is so cool

I wanna hold a camel spider one day

[mighty ermine]

i think he got bit by one

[frail geode]

It's gonna bite your finger off

[mighty ermine]

as much as i love spiders, camel spiders freak me out

[autumn storm]

Oh yeah that’d be awesome

[drowsy finch]

Right??? THey're really cool!!!

[autumn storm]

But super chill

It’s really neat

[frail geode]

I saw him with a specialist milking one but never HOLD one

[sage steeple]

You are wrong. And as I am right, I am right that you are wrong.

[drowsy finch]

Nahh they're not particularly bitey fellows

[sage steeple]

Did you say milk

[frail geode]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

[drowsy finch]

Dude they look SO silly, how can't you love them 😭

[autumn storm]

Yep

[mighty ermine]

you're right actually I double checked, my bad

[autumn storm]

“Milking” the venom so it can be used to produce antivenom

[frail geode]

Coyote is a mad man but not that mad

[mighty ermine]

hold on let me text my gf and see if she has pics of clarise

[autumn storm]

If you find a FWS you may take it up to a spot where they can milk it depending on how close you are

[frail geode]

I hope you get bit handling one

[autumn storm]

Nothing bad happens if a solifuge bites you

[drowsy finch]

I get bit by a lot of bugs that I handle!

[autumn storm]

They aren’t even venomous

[drowsy finch]

it's not like they're ven

[frail geode]

It still hurts

[sage steeple]

I don't know man. I guess a brick fell on your head when you were building the pyramids.

[mighty ermine]

handling bugs and spiders = accepting you're gonna get nibbled a little

[mighty ermine]

you shouldn't be handling anything you're not comfortable getting nibbled by

[sage steeple]

aahhhhh ok

[drowsy finch]

It barely even hurts!

[mighty ermine]

Frrr

[drowsy finch]

I let this beetle chew on my finger while I carried him around

[mighty ermine]

Unless it's something very venomous

[sage steeple]

I wish my doctor knew that

[frail geode]

https://tenor.com/view/ben-10-did-your-parents-drop-you-gif-13971138594624022765

[mighty ermine]

even most species of tarantula don't hurt

[sage steeple]

proves the point

[mighty ermine]

asides from the initial pinch

[frail geode]

So that's a yes?

[autumn storm]

There’s only 10 medically significant spider genera so taking care of yourself with spiders is easy

[sage steeple]

Yes, and I WILL STEAL MORE

A family of 3 araneomorphs, 2 other araneomorphs, a family of 3 mygalomorphs, and 2 other mygalomorphs!

[sage steeple]

[autumn storm]

[mighty ermine]

some of the old world tarantulas are ornery bitches that want you dead

[frail geode]

Did the dude just got moderated?

[autumn storm]

And then if you want another aneurysm

Search up the USA fumapest spider chart

Damn! He's scrungly as fuck!

[mighty ermine]

I think it was just a common black house spider

[mighty ermine]

Spiders are the only animals I can think of that fit the description "scrungly" so perfectly

[crude wagon]

Im 120

[autumn storm]

Wait are you Aussie also?

[sage steeple]

im not, what's your point

[mighty ermine]

Nah I am unfortunately from the US

[autumn storm]

Or are there different common black house spiders in other parts of the globe

[sage steeple]

Wait are you an Aussie as well?

[autumn storm]

Yep

[sage steeple]

Good to know

[autumn storm]

East coast

[sage steeple]

Don't know where that is

[drowsy finch]

[mighty ermine]

[indigo hare]

[autumn storm]

[drowsy finch]

The best part of America
