i need water cooling i have a aio currently

restive current
glossy kestrel
#

AIO is water cooler but its not custom circuit

#

its integrated closed circuit

restive current
#

Yea, but then most people say 'custom-loop'.

#

But, I mean...it's still water-cooling, not air.

glossy kestrel
#

potato... po-tah-to

restive current
#

Or LN2, for those excessive people.

quaint escarp
#

custom loop also comes with a pump, aio pump is weak compared to it

restive current
quaint escarp
#

my radiator fans have to run fast bc of that

restive current
#

So, technically...you want a high flow rate?

#

Or am I mixing something up?

quaint escarp
#

yeah high flow, aios will always have that drawback unless you spend a lot

restive current
#

I'd love that too, but my tool-working skills are bad...

#

So making a custom loop is so not my thing.

I'm still clutching on to my air cooling

Doing fine
I posted some images in off topic from blender

Looks great! 😁

#

I've been working in Blender recently, I need to get everything reinstalled and set up so I can keep at it

You got art, Beaky...you ever going professional?

If I can learn more before machine learning makes me obsolete lol

Nah...an artist's touch is an artist's touch.

Very true

restive current

Also, I know what I heard from someone...

#

'Every creation must have a slight imperfection. It shows you're a living being that can make mistakes.'

#

A machine will never have that.

(And sorry I interrupted you...you were typing)

primal loom
#

Oh you're fine, no worries

#

I was going to say something similar

#

Human imagination is still a wildcard that computers can't replicate, so there will still be a place for artists even if the technology and mediums of that art changes

Here's an old project, I've since lost the project file for it

Kidbeak had a lot of fun in that game, it had a very robust building system for its time

In fairness they had some good reasons, there were issues with the dev company

You'll love this Beaky

So

#

You remember how you could design your own houses and you had simple logic to make stuff like puzzles or traps work?

#

And some of the epic stuff people made

#

It was supposed to plug in to LDD so you could buy the stuff you made in the game

#

And it would come with an instruction manual and everything

And all the rockets that you were supposed to be able to buy

Just talking about funny things

Also if your Strength is high enough you can fill your inventory with full size explosive barrels, which has led to a whole new meme combat style that involves using sneak abilities/spells to place barrels everywhere before a fight then nuking fuckin everything using a Fireball spell from a safe distance 🀣

Oh my first was a drow (never again)

earnest hatch

I never played turn based combat outside of pokemon til I played DOS2

I meant the point of turn-based instead of actual real-time combat...

earnest hatch
#

Genuinely Stellaris and BG3 are the only turn based game irl

dry dirge

You do know that different games are... different?

earnest hatch
#

Turn based is a lot more strategy and planning tbh

weak tiger
dry dirge

stellaris is real time, fake fan

coarse swift

Man's never played a board game

earnest hatch

I saw a clip of someone throwing their leather boots at an enemy to kill them cuz they were a melee build and didn't have any more movement points to get close enough for melee combat πŸ˜†

Turn based doesn't take that long lmao

earnest hatch
restive current
weak tiger
restive current
#

TBH, turn-based feels immersion-breaking, but that's just me.

#

Stellaris is better turn-based, since it's still real-time.

earnest hatch
austere lance
#

Turn based combat exists cuz some people like planning stuff and watching funny numbers absolutely obliterate the enemy, it's a preference thing. Might as well ask why any game genre exists

coarse swift
#

I mean if you're playing games for immersion then don't play turn based

#

Or, play card based games

restive current
earnest hatch
restive current
#

But the first one again...doesn't make sense. You can plan shit out in real-time?

weak tiger
restive current
#

Like, you see an enemy with X weapon and Y armour and you know what you're going to use (that's an example, BTW)

coarse swift
#

Card games like Inscryption retain immersion because playing cards irl is also turn based

dry dirge
#

That's seriously like asking why skyrim is a fantasy game when it could be sci-fi because you don't like fantasy

restive current
earnest hatch
#

Have you ever played a turn based game like DND

#

Or even tried it

coarse swift
#

It's like playing a game with established rules

restive current
#

No, but I think it's a board game, where multiple people play and hence, each one needs a turn?

coarse swift
#

That's all

earnest hatch
#

Ceryn said it well

snow zenith
#

the pretty

austere lance
#

It be what it is. I don't get why people like racing or sports games, but all the power to em for doing so

earnest hatch
restive current
#

I'm simply not getting the point of turn-based instead of real-time. 'Cause when I think about it, I'm like...what if HL2 was a turn-based game? You could have Freeman aiming individually at different Combine soldiers and then watch the animation play-out...or you could just do that in real time and actually play.

#

And for the third time...this is not a question of preferences. Just the mechanics.

dry dirge
#

I'm sorry but there is literaly no way to answer that question.

broken prairie
#

Because some people like those mechanics more, it is a question of preference

weak tiger
#

For me, and I’m very new to it, the appeal is in thinking about all the actions I can take and how to get the best results. I’ve never thought too hard in a game like Skyrim because I could just run where I need to and use whatever. But in DOS2 there is a lot more to think about. I can’t turn someone into a chicken until the physical armor is gone

#

It’s 100% preference

#

What’s the point of any other combat style? I personally love variety

austere lance
weak tiger
#

So turn based, first person shooting, hack and slash, all good to me

restive current
dry dirge
#

But not every turn based game has RNG, and real time games have RNG

earnest hatch
#

Because in turn based you can control what happens easier and there is a set group of rules. When your playing real time your friend says I will heal you but you don't know when or they get interrupted this gives turn based a shine to it when you know exactly the enemy is going to attack and how to plan for it. It also ands RNG which adds risk and interesting points to it. It allows groups to plan better.

#

It's like running a raid in a MMO but it actually going smoothly

restive current
weak tiger
#

I’m saying it’s 100% preference because I feel like explaining the mechanics of a type of game isn’t going to change your opinion of it. Either you like it or you don’t, or you like some and not others. Idk, I’m just here to have a good time

#

I’m not very good at explaining it because I’m super new (literally just pokemon and DOS2) so I didn’t try bcaDance4

restive current
coarse swift
#

But I mean

earnest hatch
#

Like I usually don't like turn based video games at all. But Baldurs Gate has a fluidity to it that isn't jarring that knocks you out of the immersion

coarse swift
#

It is a preference

dry dirge
#

Yeah, I agree with wormy. There's no secret scientific formula to why people like it computerface

coarse swift
#

Much like it's a different type of game, it's still a preferred type of game

austere lance
#

In a real time game you can't make a choice, fail a dice roll miserably, then suffer the consequences of the RNG gods' wrath 🀣

earnest hatch
#

And simply it boils down to what your preference is it's simply all you can say

restive current
dreamy zinc
coarse swift
dry dirge
#

mmm

Yes, you didn't, but that's literally all there is to it. There is nothing besides liking or not liking it.

restive current
#

There is...as Ark said, about being able to plan more efficiently and getting the chance to plan vs. the uncertainty of real-time combat.

#

And that's the logic I wanted to know.

#

(Technically, it's supposed to be obvious, but I'm small brain)

weak tiger
#

I didn’t want to try to explain the mechanics because again I know very little and it wouldn’t be right of me to try and explain what I don’t really understand yet. I only wanted to express that much of why people play specific types of games is personal preference, rather than a deeper understanding of the technical aspect leading to that preference. My thinking was that if you didn’t like turn based the first however many times you’ve tried it, explaining wouldn’t change that.

coarse swift
#

Now picture Baldurs Gate with XCOM mechanics sodaC

weak tiger
#

whats that

dry dirge
#

XCOM is a bad game, don't play it

coarse swift
dry dirge
#

(I have literally never played it)

weak tiger
#

Y’all put it well though

coarse swift
#

Point blank in XCOM, you can still miss because the attack is chance based

earnest hatch
#

XCOM I hate it

austere lance
#

I fuckin love Xcom, it was the first turn based game I got into after PokΓ©mon πŸ˜†

earnest hatch

Actually despise it I tried once never again

Also for some reason people made wiafus out of the XCOM snake women

Fuckin massive story, massive map with a billion moving parts, and ungodly amounts of NPCs. And 17k ending variations, lol. And an insane amount of voice acting. And damn good graphics

quaint escarp

textures take up space

so does audio

thats the majority of big games now

audio files and textures

ew no

God no

restive current
quaint escarp

yes

earnest hatch

Also they said that BG3 will launch larger and over updates they are going to compress the game to around 80 gb

quaint escarp
#

why did i buy a new gpu not to play high fidelity games

dry dirge
#

Yeah, pure content has very little to do with file size

restive current

it's mostly audio and high-res textures

Don't think it should even matter at this point.

quaint escarp

internet thru a power outlet

restive current
#

That's a thing???

dreamy zinc
#

not great tho

quaint escarp
#

yeah

dreamy zinc
#

better off using a wifi mesh

#

or range extenders\

quaint escarp
#

connect modem to the wall plug then plug the other one where you want it and you have an ethernet connection

dreamy zinc
#

or some old good routers as range extenders

upbeat bolt

SG Atlantis is good too

quaint escarp

its slower but more stable

quaint escarp

wifi still has inherent issues

i dont mind the powerline its great

i dont need blazing speeds for multiplayer games

dreamy zinc

true

quaint escarp

i just switch to wifi for downloads

Like...why even?

dreamy zinc
restive current
dreamy zinc

there changed it

quaint escarp
dreamy zinc
restive current
dreamy zinc

also why the fck do they still use Mbps

#

always have to devide by 8

restive current
quaint escarp
#

wait

dreamy zinc
#

not really

quaint escarp
#

this is the 5GHz band lol

restive current
#

It's the reason why ISPs always use Mb/s.

quaint escarp
#

thats why its slower

restive current
quaint escarp
#

theres a long distance from me and the router

restive current
earnest hatch
#

My internet is pretty good

dreamy zinc
#

but i do get what you mean

quaint escarp
#

nah i just mean i should see if i can get it to do the 2.4 band

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

most of the time they add like it takes 5mins to download a movie

earnest hatch
#

Our Upload is about 390 mbps

dreamy zinc
#

Mb as every other ISP

restive current
#

Exactly.

dreamy zinc
#

it's annoying af

restive current
#

That's called marketing.

#

People think 1000 Mb/s = light-speed.

languid oriole
#

my potato internet

restive current
#

When they don't realize it's just 128 MB/s.

quaint escarp
#

ping is great tho

dreamy zinc
#

well 1000Mb is 1Gb so yeah

restive current
#

(Which is very good speed, but still)

#

Yea, but it's not actually 1 GB, it's still 128 MB.

#

But 1 Gb/s looks better.

dreamy zinc
#

but 10Mb would've been good example

restive current
#

Yea, but you get the point. It's exactly why they use it.

dreamy zinc
#

i know

restive current
#

People get excited with bigger numbers.

quaint escarp
#

big numbers look better

restive current
#

Bunch of sheep.

languid oriole
#

Umm, I'm pretty sure 1024 is only used by microsoft and windows

quaint escarp
#

it works

restive current
#

Wait, decimals? Or what was the term?

#

I, uh...hate my memory.

dreamy zinc
#

for exact number they have to annote it as MBi if im not mistaken

restive current
#

MiB.

dreamy zinc
#

that's it

#

knew there was an i somewhere

restive current
#

'Mebibyte'...that's as cringe as it gets.

but that the exact binary value

languid oriole

more like "maybe-bites"

austere lance
#

Men In Black 🀣

dreamy zinc
#

if you look at you tech info of your HDD/SSD it's should say it somewhere

dreamy zinc
#

another great movie

restive current
#

TBH, HDDs have always used MBs...but metric rather than binary.

#

Or decimals...or whatever the term is.

dreamy zinc
#

decimal

restive current
#

Like...4000 GB rather than 4096 GB.

dreamy zinc
#

yes but if you check they tech info it will say it

#

actual volume xxxGiB

#

no ISP will ever do that

#

πŸ˜„

#

they'll perfer to use stuff like

dreamy zinc
#

you can download a 10GB in 10mins

or watch HD content without stutters

languid oriole

Ah yes, the Mission Impossible where Henry Cavill reloads his arms mid-fight πŸ˜‚

Should I get Star Citizen? What does it have to offer, and what does it not.

There, now you can reload too.

dreamy zinc

they ask can i watch in HD

restive current

Yep... πŸ˜†

dreamy zinc
#

not sure if SD is 720p or 480p

austere lance
#

480p

restive current
#

SD = 480.

#

HD = 720.

dreamy zinc
#

so yeah

#

HD 720p

restive current
#

TrueHD = 1080.

languid oriole
#

hd is 720p while fhd is 1080p

restive current
#

Yea, FHD/THD.

#

QHD = 1440.

dreamy zinc
#

had to look for HDMI 2.1 cable today

#

not 1 cable metioned 2.1 in physical store

languid oriole

qhd and 4k are different

dreamy zinc

had to find aonline vendor

languid oriole

i think

#

πŸ€”

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

all those damned cable mentioned 4K but 2.0 can also handle 4k dammit

#

just less bitrate

restive current
#

Or connect to the STB that their cable provider gives them.

tame cairn
#

lmao jack oneill to his clone: go forth, young man

#

that was funni

dreamy zinc
#

i need 2.1 for my 49in screen -_- so it can hopefully, properly display my work laptop''s content

restive current
#

Why 2.1, though?

dreamy zinc
#

higher bitrate

restive current
#

Also, 49...damn...

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

well i come from dual 27in screens

#

so its basically the same

dreamy zinc
#

2.0 cable is only pusing 3440x1080

#

while i need 5120x1440

restive current
#

πŸ˜–

dreamy zinc
#

so yeah it's ok

#

but annoying

restive current
#

How do you people even use such massive screens? I have like...a 27" 1080p monitor and I get tired of moving my head around to see the whole thing.

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

49 makes it better

#

screen is centered

#

no bezzles

restive current
dreamy zinc
#

1800R curve

#

if you're at a proper distance you abrely need to move you head

#

my 49in is basically split in 3 zones

#

1 left 1 center 1 right

#

so discord is right, middle is browsser

#

and left is other

tame cairn
#

Lmao

#

ill never understand it

restive current
#

Me neither, but I do get it...3 windows in one screen.

#

Rather than having 2 different screens.

dreamy zinc

like this

#

for gaming it's jsut full screen

tame cairn

Constant Alt-Tab gets painful. I know.

tame cairn
#

neck pain?

dreamy zinc
#

well if you look right

#

a lot

#

can get bothersome

#

i do have a turning chair but still

#

but for most people i do suggest 34in ultra wide

#

instead of 49in

#

especially if you don't have dual monitor setup

orchid fox
#

Gaming in borderless or get out lol

dreamy zinc
#

ha

tame cairn
#

imagine having a 49in ultra wide

dreamy zinc
tame cairn
#

expensive, just to have a screen you have to turn your head to see all of it

#

wild

dreamy zinc
#

but yeah

#

2x 27in are cheaper

#

but i also wanted an immersive experience for games πŸ˜„

#

i mean

languid oriole
#

I'm quite into multitasking, so having a wider screen is always a plus

#

Granted, I have dual monitor right now.

dreamy zinc
#

well try out either 34 in or 49

primal loom
dreamy zinc
#

if you don't game a lot you can get "cheap" 49in

Had a 24" Samsung that...broke.

And that was too big for me.

dreamy zinc

damn

i can't go below 27 in anymore

that's the ideal size to me for standard

restive current
#

Mine is 27, but 1080p. Pixel density's shit.

languid oriole
#

currently i also have 1080p, 24'', i am opposed to 1080p for this size of screen xD

restive current

But was the cheapest option with speakers.

#

Others didn't have speakers.

dreamy zinc
#

ready or not on ultrawide

restive current
dreamy zinc

nah 1440p is fine

4k is better but way more expensive

27in 1440p can reasonably priced

has no gsynce or freesync

but was 120hz at least

it may seem simplistic cuz u havent learned the diferent types of raids yet... but yes in the beggining its very simple!
It does get harder as you unlock new zones... theres also open world areas down on planets tht u will unlock eventually!
Also... Follow the story lines... they worth it!
Keep in mind tht Warframe is like 12 years old now... so ull see old content mixed with new one... Either way, its a trully great game for being a f2p!
Save the Wiki page for Warframe... https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Damage ... It will help you alot, where to find specific materials from wht mobs... or where to find tht one mob u need to grind so he drops the MOD you looking for ur build... and so on!
