[pure lodge]

At least that works 100% of the time

[zealous bolt]

guys what could I buy for some 2500 euro that would change my gaming life? I don't need PC currently, nor do I need psn, I own series S and PC. Currently all upcoming series S games that I am interested are on 1080p and my tv is 1080p so I don't need that right now as well. Is there anything to give me motivation to quit smoking and save 2500euro this year and buy something next year? I don't like mobile gaming as well, so idk if theres anything rly XD

[fiery python]

Series X

And an OLED TV

[cerulean basin]

I see Thailand takes their Avatar love very seriously... perhaps a bit too seriously!

[cerulean basin]

• with HDMI 2.1 and 120 Hz @ 4K support

[fiery python]

Yep

[cerulean basin]

Huh, didn't intend to make a bullet point but an asterisk

[fiery python]

Although you say you don't need that right now, none of it is really things you need, but it will still improve your gaming.

[cerulean basin]

I would also say a solid sound system can make a huge difference

[fiery python]

Yeah, Discord changed their formatting when they added the markdown support stuff, so it screwed with things like starting with an asterisk

[idle spear]

Or at least anything besides the inbuilt speakers on a tv

[cerulean basin]

Someone can get the best LG OLED TV and without at least a soundbar, you'll be getting the flattest audio in the world

[fiery python]

I really don't see why people have such an issue with the speakers on TVs. They're decent enough.

Obviously they're not surround, but people make them out to be terrible.

[fiery python]

Sounds fine to me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cerulean basin]

They sound flat. They lack clarity, balance...

It's like the jump from 720p to 4K in audio terms

You can clearly hear the voices of characters without the audio soundtrack getting impacted by it

[fiery python]

I shouldn't need to get more speakers to get that though.

[cerulean basin]

It sounds fine with the TV speakers, of course.
But once you listen to a soundbar vs the integrated speakers and switch from one to the other, you realize how much of an impact it has

[idle spear]

I don’t need anything crazy with the audio but even a 2.1 setup sounds massively better than the speakers in my C4 built in.

[cerulean basin]

I would say at the very least having a center channel speaker can make a huge difference

[surreal hamlet]

Aslong as I can hear the dialogue without it drowning out the music entirely il take it (not like when I went to see across the spider verse in theatres)

[fiery python]

I'm sure it does make a difference, but the standard speakers are not as bad as people make them out to be.

[cerulean basin]

And it's not just about the number of speakers.
It's the fact that they are super thin speakers that simply cannot reproduce the nuances of the audio in modern games

And surround can help a lot too, as the next step.
Yesterday I was doing a lot of horse carriage races in AC Syndicate, and it helped me know when one of the other NPC racers carriages was closing in on me, simply by hearing them getting closer and closer behind me

[fiery python]

I can't do a surround setup because we have two TVs right next to each other. Lucy would be getting the audio from my TV behind her and we can't have two surround setups.

Also not really much room to be adding speakers near the TVs either.

[cerulean basin]

In a 2.1 setup you'll also hear them getting closer, but there's no sense of direction. Could be the carriages on the next crossing ahead.

[young fog]

My TV has a built-in soundbar which is quite a big upgrade over our previous one with a built-in soundbar

It was really odd to actually be able to hear left/right (for example footsteps) through my TV lol

[verbal lance]

anyone know anything about games not updating on xbox? ive tried everything but nothings solved my issue

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, a wide soundbar even if it's just L/R channels can make such a huge difference in terms of spatial awareness in movies and games. I would still argue that one with a center channel is best for the dialogue separation (those are usually soundbars advertised as 3.1)

[fiery python]

Post the details of your issue in #1091756150644555946 (and answer the questions the bot posts - answer thoroughly) and someone will help if/when they can.

Make sure you say what you actually tried. Telling us you tried 'everything' tells us nothing, so be specific.

[weak kiln]

Spotify is right

It’s not a competition…..

But there is a leaderboard…. AND I AN ALWAYS ON TOP!

[fiery python]

Those are the ones with the subwoofer right? Or at least that's all that comes up in searches for 3.1.

That would be too much with two TVs and we can't have anything super loud because we have both TVs on at once playing games.

[cerulean basin]

3.1 = left, right, center channel and a subwoofer, yes

The subwoofer is usually a separate box and, most soundbars, when the subwoofer is unplugged, will try to compensate for it with more bass in the main channels

So it is still doable in your case I would say, but ofc also not ideal

Also... my prayers have been answered!
https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24336456/theres-now-a-130-philips-hue-app-for-lg-tvs

[fiery python]

Yeah, that's pointless when my TV goes on volume 8 to 10 most of the time, 12 max for some games on PC which are quiet. From my experience, soundbars are generally not very good at low volume.

[cerulean basin]

I can finally get rid of the HDMI Sync box that doesn't support TV streaming apps or 120 Hz video streams

[cerulean basin]

Depends on the soundbar of course. Some even have night modes meant to reduce the dynamic range of the audio so the bass won't make it through neighbor's walls at night 😛

[fiery python]

The downstairs neighbour is half deaf any way. We'd been in here for a couple of weeks, had both TVs going, playing CoD and Fortnite and she asked us if we owned a TV as she never heard anything. 😄

[cerulean basin]

But really, this changes so much from brand to brand and the low, mid or high end models. Lots of trickery in how they sell some of those.

[cerulean basin]

Can we exchange neighbors, pretty please?
I've had them complain in the past because the bass was booming at 9 PM... when the volume was set to a very low level

My bar lacks that night mode, so I sometimes just unplug the subwoofer in the workday evenings or just use the wireless headphones

[fiery python]

A sub-woofer wold definitely be overkill for our setup though, with two TVs going at once. I don't want to push our luck too much with the neighbours.

[cerulean basin]

Annoyingly the previous models had the night mode, the newer ones do too, but mine? Nope, nothing

Very annoying for the highest-end model of that year to lack that mode

[fiery python]

The upstairs neighbours can get bent though. They vacuum at 10pm some days, or at 6am and I swear he wears bricks for shoes.

[cerulean basin]

Yeah I can understand that

Anyways, Hue app for LG TVs! Super excited for that one

[fiery python]

Yeah, that's nice to see, although super expensive just for an app.

How are the light strip sizes for the Hue lights? I struggle to find any for 48" TVs.

For the Govie lights I had to get 55" and bunch them up in sections.

[ivory horizon]

I hated living in an apartment when i was younger. had folks bust out the external pane of glass on my sliding door. got my car battery stolen once. and people in the next building over would chuck beer bottles behind my car trying to hit the dumpster.

[cerulean basin]

True, but it is still cheaper than those HDMI boxes, which can sometimes cause HDMI handshake issues and you end up with Xbox thinking your TV only supports 720p all of a sudden

[glad axle]

I just found out gta is down

[narrow torrent]

are blue takis good

[glad axle]

Idk

[narrow torrent]

i bought some ima try them

[ivory horizon]

never had takis lol

[narrow torrent]

bro

[glad axle]

Same

[narrow torrent]

why do people like these

[ivory horizon]

lol

[narrow torrent]

that might be the worst thing ive tasted

[red wedge]

Takis are awesome

[narrow torrent]

ur tripping bro

[red wedge]

Nope Takis cool ranch 😎

[narrow torrent]

the blue heat is the worst thing ive ever tasted

[tired hare]

If i played lies of p on xbox, can i use the same save on pc? like other xbox games

[narrow torrent]

idk

[red wedge]

Idk blue heat and all that may be nasty. Ive only had yhe cool ranch. Its just like a rolled up dorito

[narrow torrent]

i would prolly like that

[ivory horizon]

thanks for giving me a reason to never try them lol

[narrow torrent]

like the aftertaste of the blue heat is good but while ur eating them its like you stuck your tongue in somewhere your tongue shouldnt be

its not even spicy either dude

[red wedge]

Meh pass.

If it that kinda heat it like nah not even interested.

I like spicy stuff when it brings out good flavor. But if it burns my mouth etc not for it.

[narrow torrent]

right

it doesnt even bring out flavor tho

[ivory horizon]

i got a bag of flaming hot cheetos a co-worker left at my desk if you wanna eat those to get the taste out of your mouth lol.

[narrow torrent]

ship those to me please i beg

id rather drink dirty pond water than eat these

[proud jewel]

no atleast from my experience

[glad axle]

I finally beat the false knight in hollow knight

[narrow torrent]

peak

[red wedge]

I decided to get out and dust off my ps4. Wanna beat Spider-Man again xd

[idle spear]

Nice, still holds up I think

[fiery python]

I wondered what that whirring sound in the distance was.

[red wedge]

Definitely such a great game

[red wedge]

Yea dont mind me just use the sound for sleep noise lul

[green laurel]

If i have a 4070 in my pc how much is an upgrade to 5070 if nvidia claims are true

[vocal gorge]

Hard to really tell right now. Best wait for reviewers to get their hands on the 5070 and see how it compares

[green laurel]

Oh yeah

[idle spear]

If true 2X increase roughly in raster. Although should have been 16GB at least.

[vocal gorge]

I think I’ve calmed down since the Nvidia keynote and also await to see how the 5080 performs vs not only the 4090 but also AMD’s 7900 XTX since I currently have one of those

[green laurel]

If i upgrade a gpu is that all i need to do . New to pc builds

[fiery python]

Not necessarily.

You may need to upgrade your power supply if the new card needs more power. You need to ensure it will fit in your case and compatible with your motherboard.

[open flume]

yeah. dem boys are chonkers now

[green laurel]

Yeah thsts what i was wondering. Nvm lol

[fiery python]

Also maybe a CPU upgrade if that's older, otherwise that's going to be a bottleneck and limit what your GPU can do.

[open flume]

send your specs, LC

[fiery python]

I'd definitely need a new PSU if I wanted the 5090.

[green laurel]

For high end deffo ha

[open flume]

i have a 1k PSU and i feel like ill need 1200W for the 5090 lol

[vocal gorge]

Surprised to say it but the FE cards aren’t chonkers. Looks like they are all going to be 2-slot cards this time

[ivory horizon]

i miss the days of voodoo graphics and soundblaster audio cards lol.

simpler times

[fiery python]

I think I've got an 850W in mine right now.

[vocal gorge]

same, 850W power supply

[fiery python]

Ah yeah, it's the Corsair RM850x - 80PLUS GOLD

[vocal gorge]

5090 would also require either 4x 8 pin to connect to an adapter that will allow for 16 pin connection or need a 16 pin gen 5 600W cable from a power supply vendor

[fiery python]

I'm so out of touch with building PCs these days.

[open flume]

ive got... EVGA SuperNova 1kW 80+ Gold

[vocal gorge]

some of the specs for the 5090 FE

[idle spear]

5070Ti seems like the sweet spot possibly atm until they do a super model. At least it’s got 16GB.

[open flume]

geez. my 3090 is 300mm

[vocal gorge]

I think my 7900 XTX MBA is about the same length as what the 5090 FE will be. Need to double check that. As the 5080 is the same length while it appears there is no FE for the 5070 Ti and the 5070 is smaller but has a FE

[ivory horizon]

thats why i just stick with consoles. plus my wallet cant support upgrading a pc all the time lol.

[vocal gorge]

ok, upon checking my current GPU isn't quite as long. 287mm vs the 5080/5090 FE's 304mm

[lilac goblet]

why

[lilac goblet]

what year

[fiery python]

No clue

[lilac goblet]

lol fair enough

[idle spear]

1000W is the recommended on the Nvidia site.

[lilac goblet]

when are manufacturer psu suggestions ever relevant though

they always go overboard with it because they're trying to account for people with bad psus

[vocal gorge]

the 1000W requirement is based off a system with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X though I'm pretty sure that isn't even the most power hungry CPU out there. Intel claim that so a little odd Nvidia didn't include an Intel CPU as a most power hungry type of scenario tbh

[lilac goblet]

theres no reason to test for the most power hungry scenario because you likely arent going to get it

when do you ever draw full power on both your cpu + gpu

[vocal gorge]

something like the 14900K + 5090 be passing 800W power draw alone 😮

[lilac goblet]

third party reviews will cover all the power draw and transients anyway

[open flume]

i was gonna reply but im too tired

[lilac goblet]

when doing what

[vocal gorge]

oh yeah, true. Sorry! Just getting a little carried away again lol

[open flume]

ill try. the TDP of the 3090 is like 350. the TDP of the 5090 is like 575 iirc? my build has max draw of 800W and i like 20% headroom on peak/max. full stop

[idle spear]

That would be a fun energy bill

[lilac goblet]

tdp isnt really an accurate way to determine your power draw

[open flume]

okay

[lilac goblet]

its useful for estimating cooling for cpus and thats about it but even then its pretty inaccurate

7800x3d has a tdp of 125w or something yet it can be cooled perfectly fine by a stock cooler

[vocal gorge]

I got told it was best to total up the estimated wattage your system will use (a site like pcpartpicker can do this) and then multiply that by 1.5x

[lilac goblet]

i wouldnt want to be drawing near full power on a bad psu anyway. what psu do you have?

[open flume]

i need to remember just to say "because i want to"

https://tenor.com/view/sendittt-gif-10959017

[lilac goblet]

thats pretty silly to do but i hear that often myself.
pcpartpicker already gives aggressive estimates. multiplying it makes no sense

[open flume]

ive always just done 20% from the max draw

[vocal gorge]

yeah, though an Intel CPU will draw more power than the AMD CPU. Even my 9800X3D won't draw as much power as a 14900K or Intel's newer 285K

[lilac goblet]

doing what though

[open flume]

literally isnt breaking the bank to spend an extra 20-35 bucks so its not like im pinching pennies if im buying a pc that needs power

[vocal gorge]

just gaming. CPU won't use all of its power under gaming loads but give it a benchmark that stresses the CPU and I've seen my 9800X3D reach 95c and 147W power draw 😄

[idle spear]

Not usually anyway unless it’s a very cpu heavy title

[lilac goblet]

if we're to go from gaming then near enough everyone would be able to use a 500w psu and be fine. it's a shame they don't make any good or worthwhile 500w psus though

500w is over the top for most still anyway

[willow fulcrum]

were can i appeal my ban?

[lilac goblet]

benchmarks arent really too useful for power either because you can get a 7800x3d to draw like 130w but during games you're gonna see like 60w

[fiery python]

Better to have too much than too little on something that's costing you several grand. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vocal gorge]

I thought I could get away with my old 650W power supply around the time I got my 7900 XTX seeing as I also had a Ryzen 5 5600X then but the power supply kept cutting out on me so I went a bit overkill with a titanium rated 850W power supply and no issues like that since - though it was scary and I spent a bit too much on that power supply lol

[lilac goblet]

no not really

it depends on what specific psus youre buying

[open flume]

its not worse tho lol

[lilac goblet]

whats not worse. having a bigger psu?

[open flume]

correct

[lilac goblet]

it definitely can be worse

[open flume]

😄

[young fog]

Why could it be worse to have a bigger PSU?

[open flume]

thats honestly hilarious im sorry

[limpid flicker]

An oversized PSU will not cause any problems I'm aware of.

[open flume]

i mean maybe in 2000 when the systems didnt have the same checks and balances

[lilac goblet]

could potentially have worse OPP, OCP, worse transient response, worse ripple, etc

although i have no idea what psus are being compared because for some reason im going from numbers
even just worse platform

[vocal gorge]

I'd listen to the recommendations at least as they often account for things like a CPU with higher power draw and you never know when you might upgrade to a more power hungry CPU. Having that peace of mind knowing you don't then have to faff around buying another power supply, removing the old one and its cables and installing the new one. Power supplies used to outlast multiple builds

[limpid flicker]

I have definitely specced an 850W Platinum for a system that didn't ned much over 650W.

[open flume]

ah so youre not down with OPP

[lilac goblet]

i mean im down to go further if we can grab 2 psus to compare assuming i can find reviews for both

[dire quiver]

Yo so i got a question, until couple weeks ago games i was recieveing trials on to play with my game pass core , I could see those games by going to my games see full library and go to Xbox game pass scroll all the way down and see them but lately I don’t see them anymore for example I found Tom Clancy ghost recon breakpoint to be on trail for free but I didnt see that in the game pass tab , why is that ?

[limpid flicker]

Interesting point. I admit I was considering only if the person would stick with quality parts.

[open flume]

as you should.

[lilac goblet]

how are you determining something is "quality" exactly

a lot of people tend to just pick big brands for psus

[dire quiver]

@open flume

[open flume]

@dire quiver

[limpid flicker]

This feels like a trap question, so let me just say that I'm aware that the brand doesn't indicate who really made it.

[mighty sequoia]

Well, you know me

[dire quiver]

Can you please answer my question from above ?

[lilac goblet]

why would i try to trick you with a question lol

[open flume]

i dont know

[young fog]

Maybe it was a free trial weekend for those games?

[lilac goblet]

im just interested in how you're coming to the conclusion vs how i am

[vocal gorge]

trusted brands I guess. I know SeaSonic are one such brand I'd trust for a PC power supply oozing of quality - even has a 12 year warranty attached to just about all of their power supplies iirc? in tha 12 years there should be a few upgrades it will stick around for

[idle spear]

I usually go with Corsair

Seasonic is good as well

[dire quiver]

But I used to see them in the Xbox game pass whenever a game was on trial , if I want to see all games I have on trial there’s no tab that’s shows that or at least I didn’t see any

[lilac goblet]

what seasonic psus though 😝

the brand isnt enough to go from

corsair has put out some pretty bad psus

[vocal gorge]

TX-1000 😄

[green laurel]

Doom 64 is getting a current gen console version....alright

[lilac goblet]

tx1000 is decent so yeah thats fine

[mighty sequoia]

I'm excited that Xbox gamers are gonna get to play Wukong

[green laurel]

If the devs stop whining

[limpid flicker]

Then, I don't pay much attention to the brand, but I do pay attention the original Manufacturer like Seasonic, and to the tier within the range. Example, I can't expect much from a Corsair CX PSU. I also trust the Silver, Gold, Platinum etc ratings to be a good indication.

[vocal gorge]

that would be pretty overkill and pretty expensive since it is a titanium rated power supply. I'm sure most could get away with platinum or even gold rated

[willow fulcrum]

were do i appeal my ban??

reading helps

[mighty sequoia]

Your ban from what?

[lilac goblet]

i mean id like to add on to this that most are fine with even a bronze psu because the efficiency rating doesnt usually mean too much

[idle spear]

Helps to do research of course on the specific model but never want to go with a no name or off brand psu with high wattage.

[dire quiver]

So no one knows ?

[fiery python]

No, otherwise they would have given you an answer.

[lilac goblet]

awesome fair enough

[dire quiver]

I feel like they intentionally try to hide these trials from you just so you don’t get to play em

[green laurel]

Maybe weekend trials? Free play days

[limpid flicker]

I remember back in the early 2000s it was pretty common to just buy a PSU without any real indication of... pretty much anything about it. A lot of them were anonymous boxes with little visible branding. Bad times.

[fiery python]

That would be stupid, because then people wouldn't find out they like the game and buy it.

[open flume]

i will say, this discussion is a large reason many people steer away from PC building

[vocal gorge]

that sounds terrifying 😮

[dire quiver]

Well for example when couple months ago Tom Clancy the division 2 had free play days I saw it in the game pass tab

[lilac goblet]

well yeah, of course, but then this way you can also miss out on some pretty good psus because some people arent aware of them.
ones like gamemax i would just avoid everything, but enermax has some decent units such as - https://www.enermax.com/en/products/revolution-d.f.-12-850w

[fiery python]

But it's super easy. Just match the colours and shapes. 🤪

[open flume]

LOL its just legos! 😛

[green laurel]

Something big numbers better with the gigaflops amd gigawatts

[vocal gorge]

very expensive legos!

[dire quiver]

Btw did y’all see how cheap the 5070 is ?? It offers 4090 performance for almost a 4th of the price

[open flume]

but tbh id take that convo over what is occurring about things that arent relevant with reputable brands

[limpid flicker]

It might also be related to the fact that I was buying cheap garbage back then. 😅
I can't be sure without time travelling and having more money.

[fiery python]

There are cheap ones? 😄

[lilac goblet]

but its not been shown to be raster performance

its likely a comparison between a 4090 at native vs a DLSS + FG 5070

[dire quiver]

I mean still it’s way cheaper then the 4k series and it probably is better then a 4070

[limpid flicker]

I'm cautious about these claims of 4090 performance. It certainly doesn't have anywhere near the number of cores.

[lilac goblet]

of course its relevant

[green laurel]

Also shows that i dont understand pc gaming i thought raster performance was a typo 😭

[open flume]

i couldnt disagree more

[lilac goblet]

then i think its best we just agree to disagree

[dire quiver]

Could be not denying but still 550$ is hella cheap for the last gen graphics card

[open flume]

i dont agree

lol

[lilac goblet]

interesting then. could you explain why

[green laurel]

Penguin woke up and chose violence

[vocal gorge]

the number of cores is somewhat irrelevant as there are optimizattions made on an architectural level that will further enhance performance and also faster GDDR7 VRAM to factor in too

[lilac goblet]

using FG + DLSS to carry all your games gets yucky quick

[idle spear]

Would struggle at 4K as well with 12GB. More like a high end 1440p card

[dire quiver]

Why ?

[willow fulcrum]

ive gotten suspended

[fiery python]

We know

[dire quiver]

I mean if you got a oled screen that’s 1440p that’s way then enough for any game to look way better , even upgrading to oled makes your game look better

[open flume]

do you have the ability to read and not just type? honest question

if yes, we have provided guidance on this twice. if no, how did you manage to reply?

[dire quiver]

If 5070 turns out to be that cheap I’ll probably get a new pc my current one got a 1650 with 4gb v ram …

[willow fulcrum]

NON HELPED
IT SAYS YOUR ACCOUNT ISNT SUSPENDED OR CLOSED But when i join mc it says Suspeneded 3 days -_-

[open flume]

but we cant help. it also said that

[lilac goblet]

DLSS4 at what i assume is going to be the performance settings? from what i see a lot of people tend to say it looks "bad"
FG is just inflating your fps counter without actually having any of those frames, so its just gonna feel pretty unresponsive

[dire quiver]

Wait 3 days it ain’t that hard

[idle spear]

Not the point I was making though, 4090 has 24GB which is enough for anything at 4K currently. So it is already at a disadvantage in that area with the 5070.

[fiery python]

So wait three days.

[willow fulcrum]

but why did i get suspended

[open flume]

holy hell man

[vocal gorge]

starting from $549 for the 5070 FE, AIB designs will cost more

[fiery python]

Probably for not listening at some point.

[dire quiver]

Why you ask me

[willow fulcrum]

WOMP WOMP IF ITS only 3 days on my ohter account ive gotten 2 years ban

[lilac goblet]

well the prices could easily change to

[open flume]

couldnt be... lol

[willow fulcrum]

who tf wanna wait 2 years?

[dire quiver]

I think the issue is on your end

[lilac goblet]

5090 wont be available till Jan 30th and the others are just some time in february

[fiery python]

You know what's better? Behaving and learning from prior suspensions so you don't end up with a two year one.

[lilac goblet]

pricing could check but hopefully not

[fiery python]

You know, being a good person and all that. Wild idea, I know.

[lilac goblet]

we have AMD to thank for the low nvidia pricing

[willow fulcrum]

Like 2 Years ban

[dire quiver]

Between 1440p and 4k it ain’t much of a difference like going from 1080p to 1440p so I’d say 2k is enough imo

[lilac goblet]

2k is technically 2048x1080 so i have no idea why you used that term after saying 1440p

[willow fulcrum]

"unfair advantage your account is closed suspended read more...." just cause i used op hacks in hive and not getting banned

[dire quiver]

My bad

[lilac goblet]

and yeah, there is quite the difference between 1440p and '4k'

[willow fulcrum]

XBOX REALLY DOES SUPPORT hive?

[fiery python]

@willow fulcrum Stop going on about your account and suspensions, please. We're not interested.

[vocal gorge]

same with the 5080, Jan 30th I think. Definitely going to try and get my hands on a 5080 if I'm happy with the performance I see from reviewers. 9800X3D + 5080 will be some combination 🤩

[willow fulcrum]

would like to know a way to get Unsuspended

[dire quiver]

Dude stop crying a river over here if you cheat then I hope they ban your whole Xbox from ever being able to play again

[lilac goblet]

unless ive missed something nvidia only said the 5090 was jan 30th but idk

[willow fulcrum]

-_-

[fiery python]

You wait for it to end. Then try behaving to not get suspended again.

And stop talking about it now.

[lilac goblet]

what resolution are you gaming at anyway

[willow fulcrum]

wait 2 years?

[fiery python]

Do you want to get muted here for two years too?

[willow fulcrum]

me waiting 2 years????

[vocal gorge]

4K and I like to play at maxed settings (non ray tracing since currently on AMD)

[dire quiver]

That’s what you get for being that bad you need to cheat in a game

[fiery python]

We don't care. Stop going on about it.

[willow fulcrum]

-_- who have gotten 2 years ban as me?

[lilac goblet]

sick. although the 9800x3d wont be contributing much here, its more so just a show off ☺️

[dire quiver]

Hope on your next account you get hardware banned

[idle spear]

Going to depend highly on your setup. If you are on a 27 inch monitor then you might not notice as much of a difference compared to something larger and how far away you sit from it

[lilac goblet]

mmm monitors

[dire quiver]

Btw do yall know if delta force will run at 60 fps on Xbox series s ? It should come in first quarter of this year

[open flume]

2k is solid too. just depends on what youre looking for!

ah discord scroll fail

[vocal gorge]

monitor I have is the LG 32GS95UE. OLED my precious! 😄

[ivory horizon]

i dunno but im exited to play it finally.

[lilac goblet]

i love 1080p too

[limber hemlock]

Just got my series x
It's better than I thought

[lilac goblet]

last gen oled? cool

[dire quiver]

It’s really cool in the meantime you can play cod DMZ

It’s really good alternative to get you prepared for extraction shooters

[lilac goblet]

i desire an oled myself but i can never be bothered enough to sit through monitor reviews and learn which is good

[vocal gorge]

latest gen, at least until LG announce its successor. Which I don't think has happened just yet?

[ivory horizon]

yea i got tired of dmz after a few months.

[dire quiver]

For me it was the underbarrel cheaters and one shot shotguns but now that they removed the underbarrel you ca can play peacefully

[lilac goblet]

yeah youre right. they do have a road map for what theyre planning to do but no monitor announcements yet

[ivory horizon]

im just bad at it lol

[vocal gorge]

key info is that OLED is kinda run by LG and Samsung. WOLED and QD-OLED panel technologies. If it says either of those that's what you'll get. Outside of branding and the software they use there isn't a whole lot of difference. Just be sure to look at the latest generation if you want what will likely be the best experience (though it will cost more being new)

[lilac goblet]

yeah oled seems to be easier to read reviews on compared to something like ips

[ivory horizon]

i am enjoying the squid game modes tho. i dropped 40 kills in two back to back games last night.

[idle spear]

I got a win finally in red light green light yesterday

The modes are actually quite fun, having multiple modes in one match

[vocal gorge]

I'm trying to resist downloading and playing BO6. Done well so far but have been tempted to play it, especially over Christmas

[idle spear]

Any reason you are avoiding it?

[lilac goblet]

its cod 😹

[light oyster]

What is the current weapon meta in BO6 now?

[idle spear]

XM4

[light oyster]

With what attachments tho?

[vocal gorge]

got angry with the game often and didn't like some of what was happening so decided to stop playing it. In some way I shouldn't have got back into it as I know what I can be like when playing it and I don't like to be that way 😦 Much happier without Call of Duty in my way

[open flume]

ever since my ISP got switched im behind a CGNAT so now i cant play cod sadly

hopefully this week ill get some time to call them and switch to a public IP

[idle spear]

https://wzstats.gg/best-loadouts/xm4

[idle spear]

That’s fair if it makes you feel that way.

[vocal gorge]

quite excited about the possibility I'll have my first Nvidia GPU since the GTX 1080 Ti back in 2017. That GPU was legendary!

[idle spear]

You going with 5080?

[gray epoch]

I don't get the new quests system, and that weekly streak like is it fine to click claim ?

[idle spear]

Not sure if they have shown UK prices yet either I can’t see anything about it

[vocal gorge]

most likely but only if I'm happy with what I hear from reviewers on it. If not then I'm probably sitting out any upgrades this generation

[fiery python]

Replace $ with £

Generally seems to be the way.

[vocal gorge]

UK pricing (for the FE, AIB designs expect to be higher)

[idle spear]

Cool so marginally less then

I remember 40 series was more expensive in £

When it launched at least

[mighty sequoia]

I wonder how Wukong will run on Series X, compared to the ps5 pro

[fiery python]

Same as base PS5

[gray epoch]

Miners/ scalpers heaven

[mighty sequoia]

Is that already confirmed? I would think that extra GPU grunt would make things a little better than the ps5 base machine

[dark yoke]

For monitors there’s 3 Gen’s of OLED on LG’s side

[fiery python]

The game hasn't even been confirmed to exist

But Series X is pretty much the same as base PS5, so I don't see why it wouldn't run the game the same or very close.

That extra GPU power is negligible in most cases, especially multi-platform titles.

[idle spear]

Pretty much all games on PS5 and SX run the same. Pro will be a tier up from both.

[mighty sequoia]

Yeah I've got both systems. But devs are not created equal when it comes to how well they utilize hardware. So I'm just curious how they will do with Series X. If they will tap into the extra GPU power of the series X Better than most devs or if it will be more of the same

[median nexus]

hello

[mighty sequoia]

Hello

[limber hemlock]

I didn't think marvel rivals would be so fun Ngl

[dark yoke]

This would be classed as previous gen

[glad sedge]

Hiya guys

Hope everyone had a good day so far

[zealous bolt]

did they announce nvidia 5000series i dont understand?

[fiery python]

Yes

[zealous bolt]

5060 as well?

[fiery python]

Look it up

[zealous bolt]

ok will do

[fiery python]

The news is all over tech sites

[normal scaffold]

Everything looks the same price but the 5090

I'm pretty sure the 4080 was for roughly 1000$, yes ik that's euro but currency value is not too far off

[zealous bolt]

5060 not announced

5090 is only more expensive, other gpus are cheaper than 4000 series

[fiery python]

We know

[zealous bolt]

5080 cheaper than 4080 by 200 dollars and 4070 50 dollars cheaper

[idle spear]

5080 and 5070 actually cheaper than 40 series launch prices

[zealous bolt]

yes by 200 and 50 dollars

how much will 5080 last if I buy pc for some 2400 euro, for singleplayer games ofc?

[fiery python]

No one knows what future games will require.

It should last you a while, but future games will need you to tone down the settings.

[idle spear]

Seeing as 5070 is 12GB seems like that will be 8GB

[zealous bolt]

man im tempted to quit smoking and give me a break with 2500 euro PC build and 4k monitor hahaha XD

[charred dagger]

They are still only 12 gig cards mildly disappointing

[zealous bolt]

idk I spend 200 euro on smoking every month

my salary is 800 so yea u see XD

[idle spear]

Yeah they really should have been 16GB for that tier

[zealous bolt]

is 5080 16gb?

[lilac goblet]

yeah

its GDDR7 so idk why its an issue for you

https://www.fcpowerup.com/sama-xp1200/3/

wonder if 1000 is similar

i imagine it is

[normal scaffold]

Is 5060 not already confirmed to be an 8 gb card

[idle spear]

Not that I know of

[surreal hamlet]

Happy birthday says my employers, as they send me email with no subject or writing in it

There's just one broken image I can't see 😅

[normal scaffold]

Correct me if im wrong, the xx60 series cards have always been designed to run the newest games at 1080 native lowest settings?

I'm not so sure it'll achieve that with 8gb vram

[mellow pond]

Someone good at consoles dm me,i mean with the specs etc,FASTT

[surreal hamlet]

It would be quicker if you Google the console specs

[mellow pond]

No no no,i messed up 2 things

1. How can I remove a screw that won't come out?
   2.Messed up disc drive with smth and i want to know if its fixable

[ivory horizon]

happy b-day 🙃

[surreal hamlet]

Thank you

[fiery python]

@mellow pond You were told already we do not discuss self repair here.

That includes asking people to DM you about it.

[surreal hamlet]

Sup Rhinne

[mellow pond]

I need bro

[fiery python]

Not our problem bro

I need you to follow the server rules.

[surreal hamlet]

Has anyone seen this thing before? Person that posted it claims they can connect their Bluetooth earphones to it and it picks up the Xbox audio?

[fiery python]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5hisJyJquM&ab_channel=PlayStation

[fiery python]

Yeah, there's a bunch of different ones. But they're not always very good as they can introduce some latency.

[surreal hamlet]

I'm not buying any more ps products till they fix that stick drift

[ivory horizon]

for christmas my employer gave us stanley coolers whith the company logo and our names on them....i need money i have 5 cooler in my garage that get used once or twice a year.

[mighty sequoia]

I used to buy SLI god machines because high resolutions and framerates were impossible on console until the ps4 pro got 4k support. Now that I can get high resolutions and good framerates for the most part, I prefer the simplicity of console

[fiery python]

The black Portal is nice, but I prefer the 30th anniversary one I have. But I'd rather have that black Dual Sense Edge than my current one.

[normal scaffold]

Simplicity as in you don't need to bother about tweaking settings and ensuring your specs meet requirements?

[mighty sequoia]

I can't sing dualsense praises enough. That controller really does elevate games when utilized right

[fiery python]

It does, but the battery life is garbage.

[mighty sequoia]

all of it. One purchase. One online store. No tinkering with parts. Things break down far less often. Obviously I know PC will always be better overall. But consoles get me close enough to where I want to be, that I just do that now

[idle spear]

Depends on the generation. GTX 1060 at the time was a 1080p high/max card.

[mighty sequoia]

Oh I constantly play plugged in for that reason

[normal scaffold]

Ye that's what I mean, like the next gen xx60 will not even achieve 1080p native at lowest settings

[idle spear]

4060 has vram issues alone let alone something more powerful

[mighty sequoia]

My favorite card I ever got was 1080ti. It was the best price to performance card I ever bought. And 11GB of VRAM was insane in 2016

I had 2 in SLI

[normal scaffold]

1080ti is widely considered the greatest card to exist

[mighty sequoia]

Nvidia never gave consumers something that good for the money ever again

[normal scaffold]

It was I think the first card to manage 4k on the newest games by itself

Before only 980ti sli could get a respectable performance in 4k

[fiery python]

https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/horror-movies/the-until-dawn-movie-will-not-adapt-the-horror-game-story-but-feature-new-characters-and-a-fresh-premise/

So not an Until Dawn movie at all then...

Goddamnit.

[idle spear]

1080 could do 4K at the time ok but sometimes needed settings turned down to medium

[mighty sequoia]

Yeah. I remember playing Max Payne 3 at 4K 60 back in 2015 or whatever it was. If you had that kind of setup it really felt like you were experiencing something almost nobody else was. It's surreal to see games at 4k on a $500 console after spending $4k back in the day to play games at 4k. I wasn't rich either. I saved up for years to get my dream machine

[mighty sequoia]

Depended on the game. I was a able to max out Max Payne 3

And the 1080ti was ABSURD at overclocking

It stayed stable at absurd clock speeds

[normal scaffold]

That's true, lot of it is devs optimizing the hell out of console versions but impressive nevertheless

[idle spear]

Well yeah on a game that old it would be no issue at all.

The game probably doesn’t even use 4K textures

[normal scaffold]

Max Payne 3 was released around the same time as the 1080ti, it wasn't necessarily old then

Maybe a few months old that's it

[mighty sequoia]

It looks so amazing. Not sure about the native texture resolution, but it still holds up today next to modern 4k games. Go give it a try if you can. On top of that, the game is effing fantastic.

[idle spear]

MP3 2012, 1080Ti 2017

Only 5 year diff

[mighty sequoia]

That's 5 years dude. Lol

[normal scaffold]

Ohh wait wait, I misread that as mafia 3 how the hell? 😂

[idle spear]

5 if I can count

[normal scaffold]

Ye mp3 is old game

[mighty sequoia]

Seriously though. Try Max Payne 3 at max settings with all the extra Nvidia options maxed out. Used almost all of the 11gb vram of the 1080ti and looked insane

it seriously looks like a modern game

[normal scaffold]

Did you try gta v on 4k with that gpu? How did it run

[idle spear]

I remember being able to play MP3 maxed on a 770 in 2012

[mighty sequoia]

Pretty good. Had to turn down LOD and some of the anti aliasing, but I could get 60-80 frames at 4k

And when I ran SLI I could get all max settings at 144fps

At 1440p. There was no 4k 144 back then

[normal scaffold]

That's great, imagine sli with modern gpus 💀

[mighty sequoia]

It's a shame SLI died. It was such a cool way to brute force your way to insane performance. I saved up for 3 years for a god machine. 2 980ti's in SLI. And then replaced those with 1080ti's when those came out

[normal scaffold]

4090 sli would need you to have a nuclear reactor beside your house

[idle spear]

The power consumption on modern GPUs is too much for SLI

[mighty sequoia]

4090 SLI machines exist. But they only work with custom SLI drivers that are being made less and less

[normal scaffold]

Is there even a psu out there to run 4090 sli

[mighty sequoia]

🙄

[normal scaffold]

Huh

[mighty sequoia]

Language filter deleted my post

[normal scaffold]

I swear the word banning system is too extra, they deleted the most random words

[mighty sequoia]

Agreed. Drives me nuts

[bleak robin]

It definitely isn’t a problem lol

[mighty sequoia]

Not sure about that. But I know of several boutiques that are selling prebuilt 4090 SLI machines

[bleak robin]

I’ve been here for a while now and I’ve never had a problem with the filter

[mighty sequoia]

That just means you are aggressively vanilla. Lol

[bleak robin]

No, it just means I know how to interact with people in a respectful and appropriate manner

[normal scaffold]

The thing is it is super difficult to know what exact words are allowed, the general assumption is swears and offensive language, but I've had messages deleted for much tamer words

[bleak robin]

Besides, I like vanilla, so if I just get to be a bean for the rest of my life I’ll be happy

[mighty sequoia]

Nah man. Some of the words that are banned have nothing to do with being respectful. Lol

[open flume]

not really vanilla, because..

[bleak robin]

But having a message deleted doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t ding your account unless it’s actually bad

[normal scaffold]

Well you get a warning

[open flume]

sometimes

[bleak robin]

Not necessarily. It depends on the word

[normal scaffold]

Fair enough

[mighty sequoia]

Are you ok with people not liking the filter? Lol

[bleak robin]

But usually you’d know what you get a warning for

[bleak robin]

Absolutely not. Anyone that dislikes the filter is wrong and should feel bad /j

[bleak robin]

There’s nothing wrong with disliking it. It’s just that I’ve been around a while, and the people that have the biggest problems with filters usually aren’t very high quality members of the servers, that’s all ^~^

[mighty sequoia]

Curious about the Robin Hood thing

[idle spear]

Might try out Diablo 1, I only started with 2

[fiery python]

I'm curious if that will be just accessed via battle.net, or if they'll port it to the Windows store and maybe add achievements.

[mighty sequoia]

I doubt you'll enjoy it. 1 doesn't hold up nearly as well as 2. But it's still a decent game

[rough wind]

oh yeah

[idle spear]

Maybe, but worth a go at least

[mighty sequoia]

Especially for free

[hearty plinth]

Same. Hope xbox only app i hate using battle.net link for d4

[mighty sequoia]

battle.net has always got on my nerves

[zealous bolt]

guys I have microsoft balance bought, can I use it for xbox pc gamepass app as well?

[hearty plinth]

Yeah

[fiery python]

Yes, but you need a payment method on the account as backup

[zealous bolt]

how do I put in payment backup without buying pc gamepass straight away

[normal scaffold]

I think there's an option in the billings settings

[hearty plinth]

U put in a payment method on ur acct

[zealous bolt]

where is billing settings on xbox pc gamepass app? I dont see any in settings page

[normal scaffold]

Just see for accounts or smth

[hearty plinth]

In ur acct payment options

[fiery python]

account.microsoft.com

[zealous bolt]

ok

[halcyon stratus]

https://account.microsoft.com/billing/payments

I find the website easier to use than apps for a lot of things

[hearty plinth]

Agreed tact

[normal scaffold]

Tacticat don't mind if I ask, you have "real gamer" in ur bio, what makes one a fake gamer then?

[silent wedge]

If I get the Xbox series s does it come with the 2.1 HDMI that makes it 120fps?

[fiery python]

Series S only needs 2.0

[hearty plinth]

No

[open flume]

no, hes a ReAl-GaMeR

[halcyon stratus]

Idk not playing games I guess

[zealous bolt]

ok so I see my microsoft balance and how much I have, I also have my credit card saved. So how do I buy pc gamepass from here?

[hearty plinth]

Buy game pass on pc from website

[normal scaffold]

Ok I think I get it now, makes more sense

[silent wedge]

I mean any work from 2 I was just wondering if it came with it

[open flume]

the irony

[hearty plinth]

U only need hdmi 2.1 for 4k120 which series s dont support

[zealous bolt]

how do I do that I dont see any pc gamepass option

[hearty plinth]

Does pc game pass supported in ur country

[zealous bolt]

yes

[halcyon stratus]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/pc-game-pass

[zealous bolt]

if I use it from that link tacticaT, will it go into my region, I have support for my region I can buy it legally

[halcyon stratus]

I found that link by just typing “Xbox game pass pc” . Your local language link may be different

[hearty plinth]

Yes

[normal scaffold]

I'd reckon gamepass services are available in most countries by now, the only thing still kind of restricted Is xbox cloud gaming

[halcyon stratus]

Many not most

[normal scaffold]

Well more than cloud gaming supported countries for sure

[halcyon stratus]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/regions

[zealous bolt]

hmm, weird

[hearty plinth]

Not really. Some dont have support for xbox for buying basic games

[zealous bolt]

I dont see option to buy from microsoft balance, only credit card, ebanking and reedem

[normal scaffold]

Wow that's a shame, can they not utilize servers of the nearest country with Xbox services available or will that cause legal issues

[zealous bolt]

I reedemed balance on my series S, maybe thats why?

[hearty plinth]

Is the currency for ur country if its not then u cant use it

[hearty plinth]

That would be considered marketplace fraud which can result in account ban

[zealous bolt]

idk weird, nvm its all good

[normal scaffold]

No no I'm saying like government of that country makes a deal of some kind, seems excessive for Xbox servers but maybe possible as a stop gap arrangement

[hearty plinth]

U make it like neighbor countries are all friends lol

[normal scaffold]

Ye hence I said legal issues in the previous message

Easier said than done I know

[hearty plinth]

Doing such things a stop gap sound too troublesome and quid pro quo thing betweens countries and im not getting into it. Countries wont do this just for gaming since its not really that important

[normal scaffold]

Ye true

Plus I'd reckon there aren't enough users in those countries for Microsoft to justify having servers there to begin with

[hearty plinth]

Plus the country need to infrastructure for xbox to be supported in that country along with any rules and regulations that the country imposed on xbox

[normal scaffold]

Hmm, Wait only 42 countries support Xbox network?

That's a much smaller number than I thought

[hearty plinth]

U do that some countries dont have the infrastructure for gaming right

[normal scaffold]

I'm aware, I'm just saying the number was lower than I expected

[spare rock]

Yall know if those game keys you can buy for cheap using a vpn to claim are a scam or no, but they seem fishey to me. Went to google to go looking for some physical games.

[hearty plinth]

Personally as long my country is supported i dont care or keep track on which country is or is not supported

[fiery python]

Yes, they're a scam and can get you banned.

[normal scaffold]

Well true

Fortunately mine does too, only thing not available is cloud gaming but that's ok

[lilac goblet]

theyre illegitimate and utilise stolen credit cards. you shouldn't use them.

[hearty plinth]

Especially eneba

[lilac goblet]

personally i wouldn't be mentioning any of them in a community server

[spare rock]

Do you get banned bc they aren't official or bc the region. I just thought it was buying a pirated games.

[lilac goblet]

i also wouldnt mention that either.

[fiery python]

You get banned because it violates Terms of Service.

[hearty plinth]

I have cloud gaming but i dont even use it with my ultimate sub

How about lets not talk about ways u could get banned lol

[spare rock]

Either way Im was going to buy physical disks for them anyway, just wondering.

[zealous bolt]

is philips oled good tv? 1100 euro down from 1500e on my local store

[spare rock]

Oh alright thanks for the warning.

[hearty plinth]

Look at the reviews for the oled

[zealous bolt]

if I quit smoking I will buy some oled tv and next gen xbox console, ill save money in 1-2-3 years and buy it

if not then ill go for some cheap 4k 60hz XD

I now have 1080p but I dont need upgrade cuz I have series s and all new games dont go above 1080p

[normal scaffold]

I reckon next gen will take atleast 3 years to come so ye seems about write with that time period

[fiery python]

Some games will go over 1080p

[hearty plinth]

Series s does 1440p120

[zealous bolt]

not on any game i wanna play XD

[fiery python]

It will also upscale to 4K so you would benefit from that.

[normal scaffold]

Well high frames are gonna come at a high cost

[zealous bolt]

gta, chrono odyssey and archeage, maybe even crimson desert. thats all I wanna play till 2026

[fiery python]

TVs have decent upscaling too in some models.

[normal scaffold]

Honestly I think 60 is usually sufficient for singleplayer gaming

[zealous bolt]

I doubt these games will go higher than 1080p

[quick goblet]

Damn how fast Xbox sells ure data

1 game og black ops and all i see now is black ops videos

[zealous bolt]

60 fps is good for multiplayer even, idk why everyone wanna be like ultra pro with all cutting edge technology and then u go 6-15 scores on CoD XD just kidding im saying 60fps is fine

[hearty plinth]

Nice. ac shadows, bl4, mafia game, spiderman 2, ff7 rebirth, last of us part 2, and perfect dark til 2026 at the min

[hearty plinth]

Competitive games like cod etc 60fps is the bare minimum

[full marten]

Am I the only one who hates this generation of gaming, too many people are bothered about fundamentals of machines and which person has the best specs etc instead of just playing a game and having fun

[zealous bolt]

man 60fps is fineeeeeee

[gray latch]

idk I'm too busy just gaming and having fun 😄

[zealous bolt]

I play WoW on 60fps I dont care, trust me its ok

[normal scaffold]

I don't think wow needs that high frames to begin with, for shooters, having a smooth framerate is very important

Since smoothness can directly affect your aim

[zealous bolt]

I wanted to play so many games this year, but I cant enjoy singleplayer a lot. Or better to say I can play 1 singleplayer game for about 1month then have a rest until some 5-6 months pass then I can play again

[lilac goblet]

youre just interacting with the wrong group

[zealous bolt]

all im saying its fine if u play on 60fps, not really that u gonna notice that believe me

[hearty plinth]

Im mostly play on pc so im getting a few ports this month

[normal scaffold]

That's not to say you can't be elite with a lower framerate, you can but it will take you more practice and time to adapt

[hearty plinth]

Shooters most people who r in esports play at at least 144

[zealous bolt]

thats cool. I wanted to switch my mindset over to singleplayer games, but I am just not ready for it yet. I am stuck with MMO mindset and thats all I care so far 😄

[halcyon stratus]

If you aren’t good going from 60 to 120 isn’t going to make you good.

[normal scaffold]

Oh ye that's usually the bare minimum

[zealous bolt]

currently playing rdr2 with some 20h in and I play it like every 3rd day for 2h max 😄

[hearty plinth]

I never liked mmos at all

[wispy epoch]

Same

[zealous bolt]

I played WoW since 2008, started on private servers then came on original in 2012

thats why I am interested in this type of genre lol

but its the most unreasonable genre that there is

[hearty plinth]

Did wow had a sub service since 2008?

[zealous bolt]

u end up farming for pixels for like 100h for nothing, just to do it over again in 5months later

[zealous bolt]

yes since it released

[full marten]

Im a single player story mode guy, I love the relaxing nature of immersing myself in a game without being pressured to compete/having to sweat to win

[zealous bolt]

I also believe they never increased price for sub

[zealous bolt]

thats what I do in MMOs as well, but the whole point of singleplayer games is to finish a game, and when I know it will end, I suddenly dont feel as interested than as I would in MMOs that never end

[hearty plinth]

Same. Mostly rpgs or open world games. I play cod a bit

[zealous bolt]

believe me u can relax even in CoD, I did it when I tried it last year on release. U just have to train urself not to swaet over a game

[full marten]

Open worlds especially there’s nothing better then just exploring and finding cool Easter Eggs and interacting with everything in the environment

[hearty plinth]

That means i could never move onto newer single player games lol

[zealous bolt]

I dont understand, can u explain XD

[hearty plinth]

Whats ur new single player games this month?

[full marten]

I’m just coming to the end of Indiana Jones atm

[hearty plinth]

If i put hours and hours into an mmo then i dont have the time to play single player game

[hearty plinth]

I got tales of graces f remastered, ff7 rebirth and spiderman 2 this month

[zealous bolt]

I also noticed I have very akward taste in gaming. For example I love if MMOs are ''realistic'' and immersive, but on the other hand I don't really like singleplayer like KCD. I've tried it and I realized that I can't enjoy same gameplay that I do in MMOs (vanilla WoW) and KCD like gathering and crafting.

[hearty plinth]

WhaTs kcd

[zealous bolt]

kingdom come deliverence

It's really weird...

[hearty plinth]

I have that but never played it

[zealous bolt]

Im trying to understand why I have this kind of taste in gaming, but I can't understand. Like I would be doing same thing in singleplayer game as I would in MMO, but the point of it finishing after I beat it, I suddenly dont wanna put effort in it

I 100% believe its rly rare in ppl

[hearty plinth]

Reason i cant play mmos cause it would take too much of my time with my backlog i couldnt even start lol

[zealous bolt]

like I am on verge of quitting all singleplayer games even gta 6 and rdr2 and just keep playing WoW and every new MMO

[normal scaffold]

i had this phase back in 2022-23, was literally playing only 1 or 2 multiplayer games but i decided to explore more of gamepass and 100% worth it

[zealous bolt]

I will probably do that, idc about community and stuff anymore. The more I understand its all illusion and we follow the crowd like that, the more I understand that I need to individulize

I tried it, I even sold my PC and bought series S until 2 months later I bought new PC to play WoW

[normal scaffold]

wow philosophy in xbox discord, love to see it

[hearty plinth]

Yeah i know i really dislike mmos but if u like mmos then go for it

[zealous bolt]

as I said MMOs are the worst genre of all, its so unreasonable that I dont even understand how I wanna play it. I think of myself as somewhat reasonable person that can distinguish good reason (logical) from bad reason

especially WoW retail, because WoW changed over the years so much, that I cannot even call it MMO anymore

the whole point of MMO is to have living breating world, where you can meet people outside and go on an adventure. Do crafting and gathering and earn a living, to prepare urself for harder tasks like killing big dragon expansion boss for example. Retail has none of this open world, instead it has smaller content like weeklies that you can finish in 2h in 1 day

[normal scaffold]

i guess it's the teamwork effort of achieving a task that makes it satisfying idk

[zealous bolt]

today retail open world is go on 1 spot, do event for 20-30min, get chest, get useless reward and some reputation to unlock some useless cosmetics and repeat it for 4 other zones and ure done XD

its called weeklies, but u do it in about 1 and half hour in one sitting

[normal scaffold]

hmm

[zealous bolt]

then if u wanna do some harder content, to prepare u can do it in 10min for 2h long run of harder content, and u do it mindlessly by killing mobs in one area with 2-3 AOE spells for 10min

in vanilla u actually had to farm whole day to prepare for weeklie set of raids

[wispy epoch]

Just patiently waiting til Nintendo announces their successor to the Switch

[normal scaffold]

will it be a handheld too?

[wispy epoch]

I assume so since all of the Switch games will be backwards compatible and it will be similar to the OLED from what I heard

[normal scaffold]

ok that's nice

I do wonder if nintendo will ever consider releasing a traditional console in the future, but i suppose they aren't interested to directly compete with Xbox and PS

[hearty plinth]

Who knows when a switch successor would be announced

[wispy epoch]

I just wish Nintendo could have a traditional achievement system on their console and a easy friend list to contact your friends and talk to them even using pre-made phrases to use (because of kids)

[normal scaffold]

i will admit it's impressive the switch could run doom 2016, either that console is actually fairly powerful or doom 2016 is just that well optimized

[full marten]

Nintendo has always been about gimmicks and innovation of hardware more than focusing on power/graphics when it comes to games….im excited to see what the switch 2 can offer

Diablo 1?

[hearty plinth]

But switch cant run nearly every new modern game in the last year or so thats is not a port

[sterile sequoia]

ooh nice to see ufc 5!

[fallow moat]

Maybe Diablo 2 can come to PC game pass as well

[green laurel]

Just pc though

[fallow moat]

yea

[hearty plinth]

Or those old cods possibly

[normal scaffold]

I think the last time they had released the most powerful console of the time was nintendo 64?

[hearty plinth]

How about wii or gamecube?

[normal scaffold]

was wii as capable as 360 and ps3?

i remember wii ports being very downgraded compared to the 360 and ps3 versions of games

maybe yes gamecube was an equal to og xbox and ps2 but i'm not sure

[regal shell]

Wii was weaker, but what made it a hit had nothing to do with power

[normal scaffold]

yes i'm aware, i'm talking about when was the last time they released a console of comparable strength as their rivals

[halcyon stratus]

S NES

[full marten]

N64/Gamecube was the last ones you’re right….since then they’ve mainly focused on being more innovative and fresh instead of being just a standard console

[normal scaffold]

right

[halcyon stratus]

Game cube compared to ps2? No way

[normal scaffold]

surely n64 compared to ps1 tho, i believe it had even more hardware capabilities, it could render textures with the correct depth

ps1 struggled to do this and suffered from "affine textures"

[halcyon stratus]

N64 had a couple years advantage on the ps1 and Saturn. I don’t remember everything about the Saturn but I feel like it actually was better

[normal scaffold]

oh ye saturn

[lunar tartan]

Update on my pc:
I refunded my rtx 4090 super for the brand new rtx 5070 ti

I got an ryzen 9 9950x3d

Got an MEG Z790 Godlike Max

Got 2x wifi sticks
Will update on the pc later yall

[zealous bolt]

whats wifi stick?

[sterile sequoia]

nice! . might get a new pc too soon.

[lunar tartan]

U put it behing ur pc for better wifi

[zealous bolt]

nice, do u plug it in pc?

[sterile sequoia]

so just a wifi card or?

[zealous bolt]

is this https://www.multicom.me/racunari-i-oprema/wireless-kartica/asus/asus-usb-n10-nano-b1-76426.html

can u check pls?

[sterile sequoia]

looks like a wireless dongle to me

[zealous bolt]

I have some adapter that goes in usb with antena (small one), is this same as this dongle?

[lunar tartan]

Yes

[sterile sequoia]

i dont know, each wifi dongle has diffrent specs

[spare rock]

Anyone know if you are able to buy codes from games that you can redeem from local stores or website that are official, not the ones that say u need a vpn to claim this in a specific region, or will that get you banned aswell?

[cerulean basin]

Wasn't the Gamecube actually a slight bit more powerful than the PS2? And the OG Xbox a bit more powerful than those two both.

[kind heron]

Official codes that are for your region should be fine.

[cyan quiver]

GameCube had great games but didn’t sell well compared to competition unfortunately

[normal scaffold]

Not sure if that was a great idea if you're planning to game on 4k, that vram capacity isn't High enough unless you're ok with dlss

[cyan quiver]

I did like how tiny it was, the controller, and the handle it had on the back for easy carry

[lunar tartan]

It is enough

[normal scaffold]

How much vram does it have again? 16?

[halcyon stratus]

Right the ultimate point is that “fun” and “powerful console” aren’t the same thing

[cerulean basin]

Which was pretty much the story of the N64, the Gamecube and the Wii U. None of them had stellar sales throughout their lifetime, surprisingly.

PS1 sold 102 million units.
N64 in comparison sold "only" 32 million units.

[lunar tartan]

12

[lilac goblet]

are you trolling because this is physically incompatible

[lunar tartan]

It is wtf

[normal scaffold]

Sorry but 12 is really not enough for 4k gaming, you'll need to make do with dlss

[spare rock]

Alright thanks, Personally I would rather buy disks but if I have to I will buy digital. Trying to look for sales as best as I can since full priced games cost like 1000 bucks in my country, and on sales I'm still paying over 100 bucks which is alot more drastic than 70 dollars full price lol

[lunar tartan]

I Just do 2k

[normal scaffold]

Ah 2k is alright then

[lunar tartan]

Its enough for me

[lilac goblet]

it really isnt.

[normal scaffold]

Ye then no problems

[lilac goblet]

yes there is

[lunar tartan]

What?

[normal scaffold]

What?

[lilac goblet]

how are you getting an LGA 1718 cpu in an LGA1700 board?

[mighty jasper]

Ello

[lunar tartan]

Maybe

[hearty plinth]

And using and amd cpu on a intel board lol

[lilac goblet]

thanks for saying what i just said.

[lunar tartan]

It works i checked

[cerulean basin]

And this is why I don't build my own PCs 😛
I know I will make the same type of mistake

[lilac goblet]

theres no mistake made here. someone just woke up and decided to troll a little.

[lunar tartan]

Look i litterally double checked all of those parts worked

[halcyon stratus]

Ignore him we went through this all over the weekend.

[hearty plinth]

Fr

[lunar tartan]

I am not trolling

[normal scaffold]

Omg

[lunar tartan]

Ive built pcs before

Like rtx 3060 ti and stuff

Its Just i havent built pcs in like 2 years

[halcyon stratus]

It is the same guy that was going to get a 12 dimm slot Xeon motherboard and hammer and amd chip in it and put multiple WiFi cards in it for better speeds lol

[lunar tartan]

So i am not trolling no one

[lunar tartan]

Yes

[halcyon stratus]

A few of us tried to legitimately help him before it became obvious what he was doing

[lunar tartan]

rtx 5070 ti

ryzen 9 9950x3d

MEG Z790 Godlike Max motherboard

Current specs

[hearty plinth]

Everyone knows amd boards boards are usually x or b not z

[lilac goblet]

anyway tiny tinas wonderlands doesnt have DLSS and uses an old FSR version - looks bad

[spice briar]

Can someone suggest me pcs cuz I wanna buy one in the future unfortunately I don’t know anything about pcs

[lunar tartan]

I litterally double checked if it works on it

[spice briar]

I have always used consoles

[lilac goblet]

when are you going to buy the pc?

[spice briar]

First PlayStation 4 and now Xbox series x

[spice briar]

Maybe in a few years

[cerulean basin]

I'm looking forward to seeing results of how FSR4 runs

[lilac goblet]

then there is no way someone can suggest you a pc

[halcyon stratus]

Go to https://www.logicalincrements.com/ and pick a build based on your budget

[spice briar]

Cool thanks

[lilac goblet]

this is a very poor buying guide

[normal scaffold]

Unless you're talking about suggesting specs

[spice briar]

Oh

[hearty plinth]

Looks like fsr4 will only be on 9000 gpus

[lunar tartan]

Bro needs to hate on everything

[lilac goblet]

youre not buying for years - literally anything said to you now will be irrelevant to you when youre actually buying

[lilac goblet]

i just dont like bad resources

[spice briar]

But it’s still good to know tho

[lilac goblet]

no, it really isnt.

[spice briar]

Ok

[normal scaffold]

Ye 2 years later you'll have the next line of amd and Nvidia cards(and hopefully Nvidia moves away from 8 gb vram by then)

[lilac goblet]

unless youre buying within like, 2 weeks max, anything suggested now is a waste of time

[spice briar]

Coool

[halcyon stratus]

No it isn’t

[lilac goblet]

why isnt it?

[halcyon stratus]

Because it isn’t lmao

[lilac goblet]

thats not a reason though is it

[normal scaffold]

Also this is a question I've been wanting to ask, how do you know for certain a cpu gpu combo will not have bottlenecking

[halcyon stratus]

You’re the one claiming a respected well known and decently thought out site is trash. Burden of proof is on you not me. It is a fine site.

[lilac goblet]

a lot of the parts that are shown are either outdated, do not make sense or are genuinely bad. for example, it suggests you buy a 9600X for more than the price of a 14600KF in a higher category, yet the 14600KF performs better in gaming. it suggests pretty bad PSUs throughout the entire page and a lot of the coolers that are used make little sense when cheaper (and equal if not better) coolers exist

[halcyon stratus]

Okay then send them your updates.

[cyan quiver]

5000 series pricing potentially increasing later on kind of sucks

[halcyon stratus]

No site is perfect. If you want something perfect build it yourself.

[lilac goblet]

i dont understand your defense here

[fluid creek]

your criticism is very niche

[halcyon stratus]

“A good resource exists you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to”
‘Nuh uh you’re defensive’

[hearty plinth]

Will the price of the 40 series drop after the launch of 50 series?

[normal scaffold]

Maybe some of the recommended stuff is there due to brand sponsors but I can be wrong

[lilac goblet]

its very common for popular sites to be barely usable. the cultists PSU tier list is currently very popular but is largely out of date and is mostly built on speculation. the spreadsheet version is better but most dont have it

[lilac goblet]

if its done because of brand sponsors then the entire site should be avoided.

[fluid creek]

???????????????

if they were "barely useable" they wouldn't be "popular sites"

what a weird circular logic

[lilac goblet]

yeah, theyre not the best sources. i have nothing againsts the tier list but its not been updated in a while. although from the discord they are planning to update it soon

[lunar tartan]

@halcyon stratus is the website hacked or sum?

[halcyon stratus]

Anyway this is why I hate talking about pc gaming.

[lilac goblet]

im not talking about pc gaming

[halcyon stratus]

Ok

[zealous bolt]

hes right tho, I saw some sites recommending some amd cpus, but same price or lower, kf intel processors offer much better value

[lilac goblet]

im talking about hardware choices and specific sites

[halcyon stratus]

For making pcs for gaming

[lilac goblet]

i have little interest in what someone uses a pc for

[cerulean basin]

This conversation has been all along about PC gaming o_0

[quick goblet]

Hi xbox pepole

[halcyon stratus]

I hope your day gets better

[lilac goblet]

no. im specifically on about the hardware choices being bad.

[fluid creek]

okay well

i think we can move on

🙂

tact did you see the sabrina carpenter dunkin drink

lol

[halcyon stratus]

Anyway I’m going to go to work and hope that I have time to eat lunch today

[lilac goblet]

i think your approach here is questionable. im trying to challenge the sources provided and im very happy to provide my reasoning and sources (albeit difficult with a 10s slowmode and no image perms). i dont think its fair that im replied to as if im having a bad day.

[cerulean basin]

I'm going to finally watch the Sonic 3 movie in an hour or so 😄

[halcyon stratus]

I haven’t watched 2 yet

[cerulean basin]

I only wish I had been able to get some more sleep >_>

[fluid creek]

i somehow missed the second one?

i haven't seen any mind you but i just didn't even see that they made a second

[cerulean basin]

There's a Sonic 2??? 😮 /s

[halcyon stratus]

Oh no

[cerulean basin]

(I really enjoyed Sonic 1 and 2, and I have high hopes for 3 as a Sonic Adventure 2 fan)

[green laurel]

Sonic is a solid trilogy now im happy

[hearty plinth]

I liked it i saw it dobly atmos first weekend

[lunar panther]

Morning

[cerulean basin]

Also, the actor for Agent Stone (Dr. Robotnik's assistant) is a fantastic actor, also does the voice of Basim in the Assassin's Creed games

[fluid creek]

wait why are you a leafer

Deek! did YOU see the sabrina carpenter espresso drink at dunkin

[green laurel]

Im not smart enough to know what you mean sam

[fluid creek]

you are denoted as a new user

[cerulean basin]

[halcyon stratus]

And now he’s back on the wagon

I have never seen this gif in color before

[halcyon stratus]

Or off the wagon?
Whichever one is relevant here

i might need to go

also looks like I may be doing these rewards again cause they look pretty decent now, least I can save up for something

[fluid creek]

my potatoes are so bored y'all

but there's too much snow 😭

[halcyon stratus]

We haven’t gotten any. None last year either.

[fluid creek]

we didn't get any last year

but this year we have SO MUCH

[zealous bolt]

canu buy 5000series already? are those in stores?

[cerulean basin]

Really liking the Lenovo Legion Go S as a more "affordable" handheld gaming package for $499.99

It'll be $599 for the Windows 11 version though. $499 for the SteamOS one.
And a more expensive $729.99 one with Windows 11, the AMD Z2 Go chipset, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD

[stoic anvil]

Already own ufc 5 so uhh idk bout gamepass this month

[long maple]

I started playing Inscryption again couldnt decide on which GP game to play and that was one of the recent-ish ones I tried out

[cerulean basin]

It also keeps an 8" screen at 1920 x 1200 resolution, 120 Hz and VRR

[noble trout]

I fell off a wagon and bought a Meta Quest 3 two weeks ago. They should have a new one out tomorrow.

[fluid creek]

you mean the meta just fell off a truck and into your lap, right?

[noble trout]

For the sake for slow mode, yes.

But basically, a friend of his got one for Christmas and was going nuts over Gorilla Tag. So I brought out the Windows-based VR headset. Got that connected to an Intel Surface Pro 9 and an external GPU, and it worked. Then I reconsidered that having an all in one headset might be good, so I got one and was completely blown away that they are using quasi AR now.

Of course, after using it for a week, it has been untouched for 7 days since then, which brings me back to VR is dumb.

Or at least niche.

[fluid creek]

rofl

[noble trout]

Really nice piece of HW and a really good experience, having lives through Windows MR.

Makes me wonder WTF Apple is doing with that etra $2K they want for their headset.

[halcyon stratus]

That poor 3D Objects folder

[noble trout]

My brother in law was trying to chat me up about 3D Printing. I'm like, I order product from Etsy. That's as close as I've gotten in 8 years. Wanted to know how to make a 3D object. I'm like Paint 3D? Oops, that's completely gone.

[ivory horizon]

i say in 10 years mr. musk will have us jacked into the matrix with nurolink so there will be no need for vr anymore lol.

[noble trout]

Not sure what you mean. The Matrix was a completely immersive rig of VR.

[normal scaffold]

None, zombie apocalypse sounds like hell

[cerulean basin]

I love VR hardware! Pretty cool innovations happening with it.
I just don't like the idea of using it for frequent gaming or having one at home, at all 😛

[long maple]

same would just be collecting dust

[ivory horizon]

nerolink will be a chip in your head. right now they are using it for demetia and amputees. but im sure they wont just stop there.

[halcyon stratus]

Early adopter proof of concept.
V2 will be a rational price

[ivory horizon]

some vr games look pretty fun not gonna lie. but i dont wanna spend that kind of money on something i will hardly use.

[noble trout]

Maybe but they haven't done any concept that wasn't already proved? If their cheaper one needs to be plugged into an iPhone, it's a death trap.

[ivory horizon]

and the wife already thinks i get on the xbox to ignore her lol. id hate to see how mad she would get with a vr headset on my face 😆

[stray beacon]

Yep I think this might be the one I go for. I might splurge a bit more to get the one with 32gb of ram though because 16 even today is a bit limiting especially when some of that is shared with the graphics

[rare cipher]

Half-Life Alyx makes me want to get the Valve Index, but that price tag, ouch.

[lilac goblet]

idk what was prohibited there but okay

[lunar panther]

i aint reading allat

[lilac goblet]

dont then lol

quite frankly i dont expect anybody to read it

[meager yacht]

Not a good month for game pass

[stray beacon]

I'll def be getting the windows version

I'mma print that out and use it for an eye chart.

[lilac goblet]

please do

[normal scaffold]

So 16 gb sticks are the minimum you should go for ddr5?

[lunar panther]

That is a pretty neat website you linked. I'm particularly interested in the Enthusiast build. Specs seem perfect. I may get this, thanks!

[lilac goblet]

no. 2x16

[lilac goblet]

point in case. i dont understand why others get to make claims yet when i do so and can provide sources and reasoning im just mocked. whats up with that? im just trying to understand.

[normal scaffold]

As in 2 separate 16 gb sticks no? I'm not aware of the terminology sorry

[lilac goblet]

yeah, 2 sticks of 16

[normal scaffold]

What about 32 gb stick

Better or not worth it

[lilac goblet]

thats fine. you were just on about the minimum. as long as its 2 sticks

you only go 4 if you need large memory capacities

[lunar panther]

I think I forgot my /s

[gray latch]

lol

[normal scaffold]

So is 4x16 better than 2x32?

[lilac goblet]

no, its worse

[normal scaffold]

Ok

[lilac goblet]

are you able to see what exactly got blocked in my 2nd message about the cultists tier list? discord thinks its funny to just not tell me

[normal scaffold]

Idk if laptops allow inserting 16 gb sticks, I do hope so

I plan to get a gaming laptop in a few months and I'd like to insert a few ram sticks after buying

I'd presume some do come with option for inserting 16 gb sticks

[lilac goblet]

are you buying a laptop because you need the portability

[normal scaffold]

Yes

[lunar panther]

We don't allow the posting of google docs

[lilac goblet]

oh lol

[lunar panther]

Not for cases like the one you linked, of course

[lilac goblet]

makes sense. i get that. cant be bothered to repost it now though.

[normal scaffold]

I'm aware desktop pcs are superior but I will be studying abroad near the end of this year so laptop it is

I have heard that they do drop in performance rather quickly

And cooling is often a problem

[lunar panther]

[lilac goblet]

makes sense in laptops. although afaik majority of the time youre not actually reaching TJMax, its just people freaking out because yknow, loud fans + hot to the touch

i dont use a laptop though and frankly i dont fancy researching about them

[fluid creek]

we also moved on from teh pc talk a long time ago

[halcyon stratus]

Oh are you playing animal crossing again?
I haven’t sold turnips in like 2 years

[lunar panther]

yea!

[lilac goblet]

and then someone asked me a question about a laptop

[fluid creek]

y'all can take it to DMs if you like

[normal scaffold]

Well this is gen chat so I don't think it's wrong to discuss here is it?

[fluid creek]

or #pc-gaming

Stallion we moved on from this PC stuff a while ago

[lilac goblet]

why would i go to a gaming channel if im not discussing gaming

[normal scaffold]

Alright fair

[glad axle]

Did you guys know you can migrate gta online characters?

[fluid creek]

yes

but you can do it once and then you can't go back to the old version

at least you couldn't once upon a time

[glad axle]

I never knew i thought it was just xbox to xbox

[lunar panther]

If you feel strongly about your recommendations around PC stuff, I think #pc-gaming is the best place, that way people can go there and find the info you shared and it doesn't get lost in gen chat 🙂 just my 2 cents tho

[normal scaffold]

Fair point ye

[lilac goblet]

i mean, if you insist its the correct channel to do so im not gonna argue about it. i just dont understand why, thats all. ive stated several times im not talking about gaming

[lunar panther]

I think I just gave a reasonable reason why, no?

[lilac goblet]

well i would say "yesn't". im not particularly concerned over people seeing my messages. im just here to talk. i was under the impression i was using the channels correctly and by going to #pc-gaming id be clogging a gaming orientated channel with hardware discussion

although sure, ill head there

[normal scaffold]

I see mostly hardware discussion in pc gaming too tbf

[lunar panther]

I think you can trust the recommendation of 2 server admins 🙂

it's the best source, really

[fluid creek]

your tweet just flashed in front of my eyes

[hardy bolt]

i got a gamepass code for the us and forgot to change my region can i still redeem it?

[glad axle]

Changing your region isnt allowed

[hardy bolt]

like i have account for the us and one for where i currently live

it was a typo

[granite verge]

You should only have accounts for regions where you live

[lunar panther]

I'm going to lose my mind if i get the 624 selling price on my turnips

[noble trout]

Huh. Hulu is merging in Fubo now? That's going to make Disney+ even more confusing.

This would be my first xbox console what kind of gamepass do i need to play online?

[fiery python]

If you only want to play online, then you need Game Pass Core.

[hexed sky]

Is there a better one?

[fiery python]

Yes, Game Pass Ultimate.

[hexed sky]
