Mojangs a circus show

[winter forge]

i mean since microsoft fired all the mojang staff in 2013 and replaced them its been a mess.

[onyx igloo]

lowkey if a panther was chill with me i'd chill with it lmao

[stuck yoke]

Word

Minecraft use to have a direction and shit planned

[winter forge]

unironically seeing them go "huh" when someone mentions literally any part of the game becuase none of them have ever play'd it or even know what they are working on

[stuck yoke]

Now it's whatever the whims of microsoft

[stuck yoke]

Exactly

They still haven't given us a proper combat update

[winter forge]

my fav was when one of the lead coders like 2 years ago at a con was like "whats an axolotl"

you know the thing you just spent a year and a half coding in dumbass?

[stuck yoke]

And they just be making stupid shit

[stuck yoke]

Yeah lol

They literally don't got any update plans

They don't discuss what they are adding

Or anything 😭

We shouldn't get mad at the devs ngl

The devs are fine they are lowkey trying to fix alot of minecrafts issues

The issues microsoft and the leadership

[winter forge]

that and all the songs are now owned by Microsoft not Minecraft propper. so you cant steam them or anything.

According to C418's manager Patrick McDermott, "Dragon Fish", along with the other Update Aquatic songs "Shuniji" and "Axolotl" have their IP rights owned by Microsoft, making them the only C418-composed songs not licensed for Minecraft.

[stuck yoke]

Bruh

No wonder all the youtubers and stuff were afraid of streaming them

[winter forge]

before they were licenced for use in the game and any and all related content. inc videos and such. this is no longer the case 🙁

[polar kernel]

do u think my cats have enough flea medicine

[stuck yoke]

And that's not even a fraction of the issues in Minecraft

[twin bear]

I rly hope this isn't a cheap brand

[winter forge]

yup bc microsoft will outright terminate your account for streaming them. they go full Nintendo.

[stuck yoke]

I could spend like 24 hours explaining everything wrong with Minecraft

[stuck yoke]

The guy who made the aether even has outright said that he and abunch of other developers have abunch of ways to fix the inventory system but the only thing that's stopping them are the producers

Well Microsoft

But they be tbe producers

I think idk

[winter forge]

@stuck yoke its a real mess though. they fired C418 a while back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C418

While a completed third Minecraft album has not emerged due to disagreements with Mojang owner Microsoft, Rosenfeld released the studio album Excursions (2018) and scored the Steam release of Cookie Clicker (2021).

[stuck yoke]

Yeah lol

[polar kernel]

no its the ones the vet uses lol

been using it on all of my kitties

[stuck yoke]

They've fired alot of mojangs team

[polar kernel]

since the dawn of time

[twin bear]

Thank god

[oblique stream]

Wouldn't you know that corporation didn't agree to lend music

[twin bear]

Some ppl go cheap and it costs lives

[winter forge]

the 3rd album is done with like 21 songs too. for years now. but will never come out bc of all the drama around him wanting people to be able to stream it and ms wanting money.

hes a figurehead. unlike notch he does what ever hes told to do. and doesnt ask questions. so the game direction is just whatever ms says. weve seen reports hes only visited the mojang office a handful of times since 2014. and is simply a face for the brand.

[stuck yoke]

Ahhhh that's probably why

You dont smell like you haven't taken a shower

What type of fish are you?

[winter forge]

[stuck yoke]

Are you fresh water or saltwater?

pretty sure hes a gold fish. the worst most stinky kind of fish

they make more then there weight in poop

[stuck yoke]

Nah

There's a fish that sleeps in snot bean bags

I forgot it's name

And alot sleep in other fish dookie

And eat dookie

EW

[winter forge]

gold fish do that.

they can grow to like 30cm

in a large enough tank

had that happen with the ones in my pond at my old farm

[stuck yoke]

Can't they grow acouple metres?

[uncut epoch]

[winter forge]

koi can https://bcinvasives.ca/news/story-of-super-sized-koi-sparks-goldfish-tale/ there giant gold fish reltives

gold fish cap at about 30cm

[uncut epoch]

that’s a real chonker 😆

[winter forge]

@stuck yokegold fish get to 30cm. these are some of the biggest ever recorded here.

koi get abosutely massive. i dont think anyone even knows how big the max is

[winter forge]

for sure. if only they were good for literally anything

very silly tho

[stuck yoke]

OHHHH that's the ones i was thinking of

I caught a fish once

[oblique stream]

why would you shower twice a day

think about the bills

[winter forge]

what bills. i have solar and water tanks.

[oblique stream]

I have bills

[stuck yoke]

Lucky ah

[winter forge]

speaking of. batteries are full.

@uncut epoch hehe

[stuck yoke]

Huh don't live too far away from you

[candid patio]

Well I have thousands of hours in single player in pz and I find pz fun

I find arc survival evolved fun

I find original unmodded Minecraft to be a little dull

[oblique stream]

Yeah, unmodded Minecraft is dull

[candid patio]

Sometimes I like spawning naked in winter with 0 str 0 fitness

[winter forge]

unplayable in vanilla but the last time i played was like 3 or 4 years ago

[winter forge]

winter is fun

[candid patio]

The last time I played was longer than that and I played vanilla and I liked it lol

[winter forge]

ehh you didnt miss much it became a mmo like cash farm mess. plagued with cheating and bs exploits. single player got mostly forgotten about other then by modders who are always in fights with the devs over features getting "missplaced"

and other stuff

@candid patioextra fun. they pulled a launch day cyberpunk and ship the 8k txtures raw. then optimize with your gpu. because they have no idea what they are doing .

so 200gb install go burr

[candid patio]

Lol I remember optimization being a problem back when I played

I upgraded my PC to play that game

[winter forge]

its funny if you cut the textures to 4k the game drops down to a nice ~34gb. and looks the same unless your playing on an 8k screen.

[candid patio]

Wow

[winter forge]

i honestly dont get why they were like "we think 99% of the player base should have to suffer becuase we dont want to spend an hour of dev time rendering down the textures for a good experince"

[winter forge]

rendering down the textures is a ~250-350% performance boost .

even more on weaker gpus like the 4070

i have a 7900xtx and even it has problems with vram

since the textures alone are over 160gb

[oblique stream]

Calling 4070 weak is wild

[winter forge]

so the games loading and unloading them as you move around

[winter forge]

when it comes to vram it is

[candid patio]

:: cries in 3060 noises::

[oblique stream]

Cries in 1050 noises

[winter forge]

4070 is notable as it has 12gb (desktop) and 8gb/4gb (mobile)

[winter forge]

ironially the 4070 and the 3060 have the same amount of vram.

a sad 12gb

4080/3080 are the 16gb then 4090 for 24/ 5090 for 32

[frosty tulip]

I used to have a 1050ti, glad I upgraded from it

[oblique stream]

Its the most popular gpu

[frosty tulip]

ye it was pretty decent for the price ya pay for it.

[oblique stream]

was

Sadly it is still is on the market

cause were in that bad of an economy

[candid patio]

Before my 3060, which I'm pretty sure I bought in 2024, I had an r9 380

[frosty tulip]

I remember back in the day when I didn't have a gaming pc and it was just some shitty office computer with intergrated graphics

somehow I found playing csgo at like 20 fps playable.

[twin bear]

I love only having 20 fps sometimes

[frosty tulip]

how

[twin bear]

🗣️

This is how

[candid patio]

Lol same. I definitely played Skyrim with the low graphics mod

[twin bear]

I play daggerfall

[frosty tulip]

the human eye akhually cannot see above 3 fps

it's scientifically proven

[oblique stream]

[twin bear]

What do u mean i was saying it's literally 20 fps

[oblique stream]

Human eye cannot see above 1 fps

[frosty tulip]

I'd play payday 2 and have it in 800 x 600 resolution stretched, just to almost scrape that sweet 30 fps

[oblique stream]

cause its capped at 1fps

[frosty tulip]

all graphics turned down

[twin bear]

One feet to per second

[oblique stream]

how they can see above 1 fps if its capped at 1fps

duh

[frosty tulip]

I actually couldn''t even host lobbies for the game, because if I did, the AI would get lobotomized for the entire lobby

so it'd be stupid easy.

I just feel so stupid now for not playing older games back then, cause it woulda been great being able to play something at 60 fps

I was mindblown when I discovered stalker and played that shit at 60 fps even with my shitty office pc

[winter forge]

wdm? amd still make the 580 8gb. a card from 2017. largely because its still fairly viable in a lot of situations, that and as a 8gb vram card <200$ its one of the best in the budget lineup.

[neat moat]

stop bullying me while Im away 😭 😭 😭

[winter forge]

but yeah being somewhat well off works well.

[oblique stream]

200$ is still 200$ sadly

[winter forge]

and being a hardware engineer. since i get wholesale prices.

[candid patio]

Lol. I'm "somewhat well off" but I'm also cheap and terrified that I will wake up broke one day

[oblique stream]

Not everyone is well off here, that's why 1050 still being as popular as it is is indication of a bad economy

[oblique stream]

"AI rgb tools"
Alienware had this technology for decades now

[frosty tulip]

theres actually a really simple way you can get expensive graphics cards even if u can't afford it

https://tenor.com/view/the-secret-ingredient-is-crime-jbone666-mouthful-building-walking-the-street-gif-16400025

[oblique stream]

And dumpster diving

[frosty tulip]

ransack your local store

in minecraft

of course

[oblique stream]

Dumpster diving in rich area is not as outrageous as it seems

[candid patio]

Honestly the simple graphics and accessibility of pz and balatro really appeal to me. There were hundreds of really good super Nintendo games. I love games that prioritize good gameplay over fancy graphics

[oblique stream]

you'll be amazed at what "well off" people just throw away

[frosty tulip]

we'll team up and dumpster dive ourselves some 10k gaming pcs from the trash

[winter forge]

mmm ive rebuilt my share of gpus. and done my share of oil cooling, liquid cooling, ln2 cooling and gone as far as taking a hack saw to gpu dies to get them into cases. so im past the point i really care. i can fix anything i break. its my job lol.

[oblique stream]

Am4

[frosty tulip]

I feel my bad for my older brother, he hates playing anything that doesn't have insanely good graphics

he missin out on so much

[winter forge]

am5. tho it doesnt matter. am5 has faster cores.

but the same memory controller as am2

meanwhile I lack any standards for decent graphics

this u?

make your game look like vomit, I'll probably still play it

if u can play cruelty squad, u can prob play just about any shit looking game

[oblique stream]

A definite well off speech lmao

With ddr5 prices you might as well use latest am4

[candid patio]

I feel this! Never vibed with people who say stuff like that. It blows my mind that there are people who will look you in your face and tell you 60fps is unplayable lol

[oblique stream]

And be fine

[winter forge]

ddr5 isnt so bad. i paid less for 192gb of ddr5 then i did for 128gb of ddr4 lol.

[frosty tulip]

eh I can sort of get that if for years you've been used to playing in 120 fps.

[winter forge]

i still plan to upgrade to 256gb of ddr5 once they fix the timings.

abosutely the worst

[oblique stream]

Did you pay before or after ai spiked the market

[gritty drift]

@karmic jetty new sticker

[neat moat]

your specs are so BAD

AWFUL

[frosty tulip]

they need 64 gigs instead

exactly

[winter forge]

lol 9950x/7900xtx/192gb of ram is like mid range vs what i work with.

[oblique stream]

I said no more than 32

[winter forge]

i want another a6000.

[frosty tulip]

you drive a hard bargain, 98

[oblique stream]

What do you do that requires more than 32

[neat moat]

Emily is your job computers?

[oblique stream]

And m.2

so thats that

[winter forge]

at the time the 9950x had just come out. no 9950x3d yet. 192gb was only out a few months. and the first 3 256gb kits were out (awful awful garbage) so 192gb kits were around 1500$ us at the time.

some around 2000$ us

[oblique stream]

Well off alright

Im speaking in more earthed levels of 32 gigs max

[frosty tulip]

I actually know a fuck ton about computers.

[winter forge]

[neat moat]

fair enough

Prices have kept going up though I hear due to all the miners

[winter forge]

actually hate this stuff becuase no pink. and mixing pink sucks

[oblique stream]

Prices keep going up since ai tech uses memory now

Like ddr5 ram

and ddr6 in gpus

[neat moat]

ai didnt do that before?

[oblique stream]

As well as m.2

[oblique stream]

It primarily used gpus

[neat moat]

youre talking to a wall here. Zero idea what those letters mean

[winter forge]

always did. its more that a lot of groups are retiring the old superdome flex line. for superdome compute+blackwell. that use ddr5. vs flex using ddr4.

nothing has changed. most ai models are still 600+gb monsters. but only the active parts loaded on the gpu.

more gpus just means faster processing of prompts.

[frosty tulip]

is this vanila fallout?

[winter forge]

eg my prompts on my own self made local ai process in a fraction of a second for a full page reply when i leverage the 6800xtlc and 7900xtx at the same time

[neat moat]

I dont see how making the bots faster makes them any better

[frosty tulip]

woahhhh

[oblique stream]

Well either way good luck making cheap ddr5 if you don't have 50% decrease

[winter forge]

@oblique streamthe new xeons use only ddr5. the older line were able to use ddr3/4/5 so a lot of them cheaped and went ddr3/4 lv modules on flex. so the cost to replace 48TB-192TB of ram was astronomical. and its nuked the market and supply. some of our 10+million dollar superdome computes have filthy home user ram because we could not source enough of the dimms

[oblique stream]

Ddr4 is something that you can now find in rich well off people's dumpster now at least

So am4 makes sense to buy

[winter forge]

go visit any HPE contactor. i have literal truck loads of the stuff in skip bins at at least 6 sites. the compute rollout is 100% to blame. since were dumping 192tb of ram in 128gb dimms at sites with the full scale flex servers. and 48tb at sites with the 32 socket package. https://www.hpe.com/emea_europe/en/servers/compute-scale-up.html

@oblique stream
In the US, the vast majority of demand flexibility programs have been adopted in Republican states, Shah explained – mostly by rural electric co-ops and municipal utilities. Shah pointed to Rocky Mountain Power, a for-profit utility in Utah, which pays residents $300 per kWh the use of solar power captured by the battery storage system they have installed. In exchange, the utility gets to use that battery whenever it’s not in use. This helps Utah to maintain some of the lowest power bills in the country.

    Fish and Seafood: Fish is a staple in a catgirl's diet, just like for cats. They might enjoy salmon, tuna, sardines, and other fish preparations. Seafood like shrimp, crab, and squid are also popular.
    Meat: Besides fish, catgirls love various types of meat. Chicken, turkey, cooked beef, and lamb are common choices. They might prefer their meat cooked but still slightly pink.

3. Dairy Products: Many catgirls enjoy dairy, though some may be lactose intolerant. Popular choices include milk, cheese (especially soft cheeses like cream cheese or brie), yogurt, and ice cream. Some might even enjoy a bit of whipped cream as a treat.

4. Grains and Carbohydrates: While they primarily prefer protein, catgirls also eat grains and carbs. Rice, bread, pasta, and oatmeal are common. They might enjoy a side of rice with their fish or a slice of toast with butter.

5. Fruits and Vegetables: Catgirls often enjoy catnip, which can be brewed into tea or used as a seasoning. Other favorites include cooked carrots, peas, and small amounts of fruit like melon, berries, or bananas. Some might even nibble on grass or cat grass.

6. Treats and Snacks: Catgirls love treats! Fish-flavored crackers, dried fish jerky, and meaty snacks are popular. They might also enjoy sweet treats like cookies, cakes, or chocolate (in moderation). Catnip-infused treats are a must-have.

7. Beverages: Besides milk, catgirls might enjoy tea (especially catnip tea), fruit juices, and water. Some might even fancy a bit of cream or almond milk in their drinks.

8. Human Food: Catgirls often enjoy sharing human meals, especially if they're meat-based or contain fish. They might appreciate a bite of grilled chicken, a piece of salmon, or even a small portion of pasta.````

its very useful.

also monitors and triggers the "keep running" flag

gpu if u wanna use editors

cpu if u wanna game

[karmic jetty]

just get am4

am5 cost more in general

[winter forge]

technically speaking am4 is now last gen. its only going to get limited support/likely few/if any new mainline products. am5 is better in pretty much every way though. ddr5 usb 4 pcie 5 am5 in general is substantually faster in general as it has substantually more communication lanes between the socket, connecting the memory/pcie/usb bus's and the much higher TDP hardcap. (much higher power limits offering much higher performance from the same/similar products)

[twin bear]

anything but going outside

[lyric galleon]

alr might as well go am5

[rain mango]

recreate outside with pixels!

[oblique stream]

ok now think at the average consoomer level

[lyric galleon]

gonna go for micro atx

[twin bear]

average pc enthusiast ignores this factor

[winter forge]

nvme speeds are a huge boost too. 90% of why i dont get lag in zombie is i have a pcie5 nvme (990 pro)
vs when we were testing with blackmoons his substantual save/load lag with a pcie 3 ssd was painful. zomboid saves 10000s of tiny files as a "save" so loading those is done at a tinnyyyyyy fraction of the nvme's possable speed haha

[winter forge]

idk after 2021 ive not touched warhammer. mostly got into it for a cute girl i liked. we didnt work out but were still good friends.

[stuck yoke]

Grabbed a ping pong ball sized hail stone

[twin bear]

i like killing things with magic

and wh does it well

[neon bramble]

I enjoy the historical total wars more

but I am an infantry enthusiast so I am biased

[winter forge]

[lyric galleon]

[neon bramble]

the map painting games didnt really stick but I liked endless space a lot

[karmic jetty]

[spiral condor]

babadeedobadie

[lyric galleon]

though im gonna have to stick with my doody gpu for a while

[winter forge]

i loved the gal civ games. back when i was much much yonger they were why i had to have 16gb of ram and windows xp 64bit edition.

its also like the only game i know of that will use all 192gb of ram and beg and grovel for more.

[neat moat]

your rides over mutie. Time to die.

[neat moat]

do you play stellaris

[pale berry]

no

[lyric galleon]

stellaris mentioned

accept my trade offer

[winter forge]

i really didnt like it. gave it a chance with ~50hours

not my thing.

[lyric galleon]

cause you didnt get the dlcs

[neon bramble]

even with the dlcs tbh

[winter forge]

i have like 14 of them haha

[neon bramble]

the tech tree is cool but the pacing is ass

[winter forge]

at the time i was playing it i had ALL the dlc

[lyric galleon]

i was joking i dont even have a single dlc

i like stellaris, numbers go up and down

[neon bramble]

midgame is so wack

[winter forge]

damn game with its 70$ portrait dlcs

70$ for3 pictures?

[lyric galleon]

i play long living lizards, specialise in economics and money and eventually ascend as immortal synths

[neat moat]

what about solium Infernum?

[lyric galleon]

pioneers for onlyfans

[neon bramble]

I just like being a heavily armed isolationist while everyone else thunder domes around me

swedish neutrality ftw

[winter forge]

@lyric galleon debated grabbing this and playing for like 3 months or w/e since it gives ALL dlc for 15$ a month. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2729490/Stellaris_Expansion_Subscription/?curator_clanid=9703436

grubby little rats tho

[lyric galleon]

oh kinda like uh gamepass

[neon bramble]

does everyone need to own the DLC pass

or just the host

[winter forge]

oh no. you have to BUY the base game. then buy the dlc pass.

[lyric galleon]

this is why i play risk of rain 2 instead

[winter forge]

yyeee
Paradox is literally worse EA if EA had a braincell

"how many people will buy 2k in dlc vs 14.99 a month for life????"

hmmmm

[spiral condor]

it says 9.99$ a month

[winter forge]

[winter forge]

yeah even cities skylines has a monthly sub or a metric ton of dlc

[oblique stream]

Or just pirate them

[winter forge]

paradox at work

[neon bramble]

yep

[lyric galleon]

buying paradox games is engaging in a abusive relationship

[neat moat]

Im waiting for when stellaris is more stable. No other game scratches the itch unfortunately
