the-dark-ages

[dreamy relic]

I meant how are you aware of some things if game hasnt unlocked yet

[cold patio]

who knows

[odd gust]

Ill cherish it if i survive it without getting alzheimers bro i keep forgetting basic things

My biggest fear is that my brain gets some damage from this life cuz its slowly killing me

[plain iron]

Ima be fr. It fucking pisses me off when I see folk like you want to go to a homeless shelter bcs their parents gaf abt their grades and are strict. You are taking a space that a person needs far more than you do. You do not need to leave home and go to a homeless shelter.

[odd gust]

I never said i will

i will wait until i finish senior highschool then save money to rent me a place

I just hate my life cuz i rlly want doom tda 😭

[plain iron]

Brother hates life bcs he can't get a game 💔

[odd gust]

…….. yes its legit the only joy in my life

[hard thistle]

Bruh

[odd gust]

Other than that my life is constant headaches

[glass flame]

I saw that someone already was able to play TDA on PS5 pro

[plain iron]

Protip. Find other hobbies. Go to therapy

[odd gust]

they wont pay for it

[hard thistle]

Bros talking about his personal life on TDA channel 💀

[odd gust]

And u cant force me to like anything else

[glass flame]

Shits expensive yknow

[odd gust]

😭

[glass flame]

Atleast in America

[hard thistle]

Cant afford it? Find a very legal way to play it

[glass flame]

I hate this place

[pliant coral]

Everywhere something is expensive.

[odd gust]

Ye my internet provider doesnt allow me to access lots of websites

[clear talon]

relax. you're in a good time of your life man. After you "sell your soul to capitalism" it's not that fun anymore

[plain iron]

Genuinely if that's the only thing bringing you joy, go get help.

[odd gust]

Bro i hate my life so much rn

[silent surge]

living at home as long as you can has upsides (providing you aren’t in a bad situation)

i lived at home til i got married. late 20s.

[dreamy relic]

Start working out

[silent surge]

then, i did not live at home.

[hard thistle]

I can confirm: I have friends who have been to homeless shelters and it is not an improvement over whatever your home life is like right now.

[plain iron]

I left home bcs I lived with a abusive piece of shit. And even then, I'd rather be there than here.

[odd gust]

My parents think im in my room studying if i go out theyll just assign me more extra curricular subjects

[dreamy relic]

What??

[odd gust]

it is my preference, and you won’t change it

[silent surge]

that situation makes things dicey, rough to hear.

[plain iron]

I was in the women's/children shelter for 4ish months, it was fucking hell.

[silent surge]

i’m just jumping into chat so i missed a lot.

[dreamy relic]

They'll just give you extra homework for coming out of your room or something??

[silent surge]

but as someone in their 30s who has been a kid at one point and IS STILL YOUNG, living at home if it’s a safe place, has value

[odd gust]

Rn i take advanced biology and advanced physics and chemistry, they keep trying to convince me to take advanced algebra and advanced geometry but i tell them i have no time and that i barely keep up with the 3 i currently have they want me to have no weekends for myself and to go to 9 hour lectures everyday

[plain iron]

You need to get help. Trust me. If you lose that one thing, what happens? What will happen once you lose that?

[silent surge]

how will you manage all these studies in that environment?

guarantee it’ll be a lot harder.

even to manage a few

[hard thistle]

You seem to be under the impression that Thomas is telling you this because he's bothered by your life and wants to change it. He's telling you this as a piece of advice so you don't end up miserable the rest of your life.

It is not normal to only be able to derive joy from a single videogame series. That's called depression.

[plain iron]

Exactly. I actually dropped out bcs of this shit

[hard thistle]

If you cant afford a game, you need to get your life together and focus on yourself 💀

[odd gust]

i sleep when i come back from school snd stay up all night doing homework and watching doom videos to ease the headache

[silent surge]

that is likely a deeper issue

i’m no doctor but still

[wind dew]

I just got gamepass ultimate for 1 month so I could pre install

[odd gust]

What else do i have i only have my phone in my life bro i didnt mean to be defensive am sorry thomas but im always too tired to do anything else and if i try my parents make my life even more miserable

[plain iron]

That is depression.

[clear talon]

now i understand why is this conversation start in "the dark ages"....

really dark ages

[plain iron]

Try online counselling. Maybe your school has a therapist.

[weary current]

i get to play on this day tonight, btw, anything else i should know before i go in

[silent surge]

go in blind

don’t spoil

[hard thistle]

is this chat even tda related?

[plain iron]

ALSO ALLSTIN I GOT SPOILED BY REDDIT 💔

[silent surge]

what part???

i saw there was a level list leak

[plain iron]

A boss

YEA

[silent surge]

oh no. that one?

[weary current]

thank god i didn't see that lmao

[steel basin]

SAY NOTHING MORE

[silent surge]

i won’t spoil

we didn’t discuss any bosses actually.

[plain iron]

I'm in shambles lmfao

[silent surge]

can you give me a hint as to which it was

[glass flame]

Sometimes

[plain iron]

We did talk abt them 💀

[silent surge]

… uhhh fake leak

[plain iron]

Yup. Fake.

[silent surge]

in chat the other day i said that i wanted to note when people said something that they didn’t realize they were actually referencing

[weary current]

ok i actually need to go to bed now this is stressing me tf out

[silent surge]

you said something but i kept my mouth closed

don’t go on reddit folks

it was a fake leak don’t worry. not copium

[odd gust]

They dont care about mental health they just want to get through the curriculum as quick as possible and give us 3 revisions of it before the end of the year

[weary current]

i didn't even see what it was, thank god

[silent surge]

just don’t go on Reddit and be careful on youtube

I SAY THIS AS A YOUTUBER

like. i enjoy when people watch my stuff

but don’t get spoiled ok?? ok??

[plain iron]

You telling me that your school doesn't have something that in a few states, are mandatory? Most schools have a therapist. Check it out at least.

[plain iron]

I'm trying.

[odd gust]

They do but they dont care

Thats what i said

[plain iron]

Have you ever been 💀

[weary current]

👍

[mossy flicker]

Can people for the love of god s don’t spoil anything

😭

[weary current]

i'm excited to play at long last. it's been a long while since i've ever been hyped for an FPS like this

[silent surge]

you only get one first playthrough

make it count

[glass flame]

I've only seen spoiler free reviews

[odd gust]

Yes i told you 3 times already

[plain iron]

Okay. Find another way. Online therapy?

Regardless, you need help.

I'm not saying this out of spite. I was similar.

[odd gust]

When am too upset i talk here tbh

they say its normal cuz its a 9 hour lecture

To the school? My parents are the ones who assigned them

[dreamy relic]

Do you at least have some idea about your career

What you're gonna do in life

[odd gust]

I wanna get into law

They say law has no future

So like after senior highschool ill save lots of money to find someplace else to stay and go to law school

and hopefully if rent is not bad and i save money ill buy doom tda

[dreamy relic]

I suppose you will have a part time job to cover your expenses during that time?

[pliant coral]

Law has a future.
For someone gotta replace the corrupted.

[odd gust]

Yes any job to get me money

[dreamy relic]

Yea I mean there's all sorts of jobs you can get

Saying law has no future is stupid

[pliant coral]

19hrs
06mins

[odd gust]

Bro if i ever get this game im gonna flail every demon

[pliant coral]

lol I am doing that right now in For Honor.

[formal root]

I hope my laptop can run it

its pre installed and everything

[dreamy relic]

Specs?

[tender vault]

I can’t wait to play it

[velvet elbow]

I can’t sleep man

I got 19 hours and I can’t sleep

[tender vault]

I wasn’t gonna buy the premium preorder

Until I learned dlc stuff and skins came with it

I then refunded my old preorder and got the premium one

[formal root]

a fucking laptop.

[tender vault]

Specs of the laptop

[velvet elbow]

I was gonna buy the premium anyways, 2 days with the risk of those god damn “final boss” thumbnails ain’t worth it

[dreamy relic]

No shit

[tender vault]

Yeah

And the fact that the dlc will probably be $30 anyways

[velvet elbow]

That’s how I got spoiled for the end of God of War Ragnarok and I’m still pissed about it TO THIS FUCKING DAY

[formal root]

you see

if I say them right here it could be considered as abuse towards the laptop

[tender vault]

I should really play that game

[formal root]

its not a gaming one neither

[tender vault]

I own it just havnt gotten around to it

[velvet elbow]

Bro your laptop is gonna turn into molten metal

[tender vault]

I also know nothing about god of war

[velvet elbow]

Bro the 2nd boss fight is one of the best boss fights I’ve ever seen

[glass flame]

I wait

[formal root]

surprisingly it hasn’t

[dreamy relic]

Did you at least check the minimum requirements for the game before buying it

[glass flame]

For it is may 12 as of now

[formal root]

I have ran eternal and played some battlemode in it

it runs it alright

[dreamy relic]

Given your description it might not fare so well

[velvet elbow]

I can run eternal on high on my pc, so if someone makes a mod to remove RTX I can probably run it on at the least medium

[plucky plinth]

That would be impossible

[plain iron]

No lmao

[wispy pike]

When does early access become available bc I thought it was may 12th but now I’m seeing may13th any actually know??

[formal root]

alright

I have an hp laptop.

[glass flame]

Time zones

[formal root]

yeah

I abuse the shit outta it.

[plucky plinth]

It would mean the mod would have to completely replace the engine, redo every single map and menu, and then also completely rework several systems.

[velvet elbow]

I mean I already got it on my ps5 so I don’t care but still

[plucky plinth]

None of things could really be done.

[plain iron]

Check announcements, it'll tell you

[formal root]

the 12th

[pliant coral]

2 more hours left of May 11th, for me.

[formal root]

well depends on where you at

[formal root]

hey me too

[pliant coral]

Ey west coaster

[torn bluff]

Guys this game is fucking nuts

[dreamy relic]

In a good way?

[torn bluff]

Yes

[velvet elbow]

I hope that maybe one day ID finally compensates Mick for Eternal, we get the Eternal Soundtrack on Spotify, and we get Mick back on doom. But that probably will never happen

[wispy pike]

Im PST

[tawdry kiln]

[formal root]

shit who knows

[tawdry kiln]

No spoilers please

[torn bluff]

I’m on chapter 5 or 6 and I’ve been getting booty pounded and yet still feel like I could fight the sun

[pliant coral]

5pm.

[dreamy relic]

EET for standard edition is 3am may 15 right?

[formal root]

buddy, i’m trying to avoid them myself too

[velvet elbow]

You shut your fucking mouth

[plain iron]

Have you seen ahzrak's ass yet

[torn bluff]

Power fantasy at the max with this one

[velvet elbow]

you will NOT spoil this shit for me

[torn bluff]

I will absolutely not spoil

[formal root]

shut your mouth before we shut it for you.

[dreamy relic]

Woah there

[tawdry kiln]

[velvet elbow]

MODS GET THE FUCKER

[glass flame]

What platform?

[torn bluff]

I’ve said nothing folks relax💀

[tawdry kiln]

[formal root]

MODS, SEND HIM TO NEKRAVOL, FIRST ROW TOO

[velvet elbow]

AND YOU’VE ALREADY SAID TOO MUCH

[wispy pike]

💀BRUH over here I’m thinking it’ll be released at midnight

[dreamy relic]

How can you even play the game?

[tawdry kiln]

Yas

[glass flame]

PLEASE I NEED IT

[pliant coral]

Nope.
It’s gonna be 5pm for US West Coast

[dreamy relic]

Take him to visit the servo skull factory

[torn bluff]

It definitely feels weird to get achievements when they aren’t technically supported yet

[velvet elbow]

MODS, TURN HIS BALLS INTO MINI CACODEMONS

[torn bluff]

NOOOOOO

[wispy pike]

I bamboozled myself requesting a day off for may 12th no fucking way

[torn bluff]

They’ll bite each other

[plain iron]

Also chat does Ahzrak got a tail or smthn... tiefling style...

[dreamy relic]

What

[glass flame]

[torn bluff]

I have not seen Ahzrak cheeks yet folks I hate to break it

[formal root]

MODS, HACK HIS ETERNAL CAMPAIGN AND MAKE EVERY DEMON A MARAUDER

[dreamy relic]

Bro is down bad or some shit

[torn bluff]

Oh that’s nothing

[dapper palm]

I dunno but he looks so cool imo.

[tribal jackal]

u mean its not dropping rn 😭

[velvet elbow]

MODS, FORCE HIM TO UN ETERNAL ON CONSOLE

[torn bluff]

NOOOOO

[odd gust]

Me neither

[tawdry kiln]

[plain iron]

He reminds me of a tiefling, I just wanna know how far he looks like one 😭

[glass flame]

HOW DID YOU ALREADY GET ACCESS

[wispy pike]

I am fried

[glass flame]

TELL ME

[formal root]

mods, also make the ground into purple goo.

[plain iron]

Even the eye and skin colours are tiefling like

[pliant coral]

Oh well.

[velvet elbow]

MODS, UNMEATHOOK HIS SUPER SHOTGUN

[torn bluff]

honestly guys I feel beyond privileged that I’ve been playing for two days and I just want to say genuinely it’s everything we’ve ever wanted. Nothing disappoints

[plain iron]

Horns in particular. Just hoping he got the tail to match the aesthetic

[torn bluff]

Collectors edition disc

[wispy pike]

Ye oh well guess time to see if steam will let me refund it 💀

[tawdry kiln]

Yooo stop

[dapper palm]

Mods add a ridiculous amount of giant tentacles there.

[grim agate]

i got a question if yall dont mind me asking

[pliant coral]

If only.

[tribal jackal]

does anyone know when early access hits for texas mfs??>>

[formal root]

mods, also add cursed prowlers

[torn bluff]

Google might

[pliant coral]

7pm

[plain iron]

Plus the ass thing is just me figuring out what chapter it is so i can avoid flashbanging my carers lmfao

[grim agate]

will this game perchance work under proton?

[tribal jackal]

gogole didnt know bud

[velvet elbow]

I love how our community can come together to silence a man for talking about a game coming out in less than a day

[wispy pike]

Will it actually not??

[plain iron]

Check announcements.

[torn bluff]

I’m on like 5-6 no cheeks yet

[pliant coral]

Idk. I ain’t on steam

[plain iron]

I'm guessing it's a later chapter. Neat

[wispy pike]

Cooked myself requesting a day off for no reason 💀

[burnt moss]

damn i remember looking at the preorder timer and seeing "109 days" and now im seeing 18 hours

[torn bluff]

I feel like if I even show a screen shot or an achievement I’ll get smited by copyright

[tribal jackal]

LMFAOO

[tribal jackal]

as u should

[grim agate]

its just saying now avaliable on my steam

[plain iron]

It lowkey feels like Christmas. Or waiting for it.

[glass flame]

HOW ARE YOU PLAYING

[torn bluff]

The worst part is I can’t ask about bug fixes and give info to help with bug fixes till it drops officially 💀💀

[pliant coral]

I have my White Monster at the ready for when I start playing.

[burnt moss]

collectors edition disc

[torn bluff]

I told you, collectors edition disc

[glass flame]

FUCK

I HAVE EARLY ACCESS ON STEAM

[dapper palm]

I haven't felt this excited in a long time.

[torn bluff]

Dude I got beyond lucky to even get mine my first order canceled

[grim agate]

theres a fucking collectors edition?

[glass flame]

IM GOING TO IMPLODE

[plain iron]

Mhm.

[grim agate]

is that how people play it early on pc?

[plucky patrol]

Yeah but it's 200 bucks

[plain iron]

I got one. Gonna pick it up tomorrow.

[torn bluff]

200 isn’t anything when doom is eternal

I work at a gas station and still managed to set aside for pain

[grim agate]

oh i got a question if you know how to answer it 🇬🇱

[dapper palm]

And when the ages are dark

[plain iron]

... yeah?

[torn bluff]

Your deeds get darker to fill the void

[velvet elbow]

For the entire time I was waiting for Doom The Dark ages, I beat Read Dead Redemption 2 for the first time, replayed and beat Eternal and it’s DLC’s, beat sekiro 5 times and got all the achievements, beat the Oddworld games, and beat every heist in payday 3 on max difficulty + stealth

[grim agate]

would this game work under proton day 1 or would i have to dual boot windows?

[plucky patrol]

Why does the pre install on my pc in the xbox app say a error occurred after it gest to 100%

[grim agate]

im a rare linux user 🇬🇱

[plain iron]

I- I don't know that sorta stuff

I say as I'm in the arch Linux server

I use it for emotes only lmfao

[sleek ermine]

Do you have premium edition

[torn bluff]

See folks here’s the real kicker, dark ages is optimized for new gens, meaning next gen we’re cooked with our discs

[tribal jackal]

Damn I lowkey wish I got the statue

[torn bluff]

Unless they love us

[plucky patrol]

Yes

[torn bluff]

I busted on my statue already😩

[tribal jackal]

Fuqqq

[plain iron]

I-

[grim agate]

idk why the fuck my game says i can play it

[torn bluff]

Time to put him in the big COIN jar

[tribal jackal]

U on PC?

[grim agate]

atleast from what steam is telling me its saying its avaliable and that i can play it

[plain iron]

Well go play jt

[grim agate]

yeah

[torn bluff]

Those that have the disc or have dark ages downloaded at just above 70 gigs, click it

[grim agate]

i cant its preloading

[tribal jackal]

Where r u from?¿ like America or Europe type shii

[grim agate]

america

[torn bluff]

If it downloads to its full 70 whatever gigs it’s playable

[tribal jackal]

I’m about to check if I can play it

Will update

[dapper palm]

Also it's crazy that the file size is smaller than eternals.

[grim agate]

its 67gbs for me

[torn bluff]

Getting achievements before they’re supported feels like real slayer shit tbh

[torn bluff]

Ik it’s insane considering I got whiplash seeing the new graphics

[grim agate]

idk if its preloading or just installing, but steam is deadass saying i can play it on my liberary page

[torn bluff]

Click it dude

I promise

[glass flame]

PLEASE ID RELEASE IT NOW AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[grim agate]

again, currently preloading

[agile hawk]

Glad the dark ages runs so well, impressive performance!

[tribal jackal]

I COULDNT DO IT

[torn bluff]

So who got the pc collectors edition?

Because I’ll be breaking into your home very shortly for your yellow keycard, you can keep the rest

Also to reverse your toilet paper

[glass flame]

I'm dying

Please I need this ID

[tacit wadi]

so dark ages is playable in about 17 hours 40 minutes with advanced access?

[torn bluff]

Imagine

[cyan lotus]

Eternal was 44 gigs on launch

[torn bluff]

Dark ages also has zero online multiplayer support

[dapper palm]

Oh I didn't play it at launch so I didn't know.

[torn bluff]

So that’ll do it

[hot lava]

Ray trace updates balloon it?

[torn bluff]

Had to get video evidence of the pre achievements for when they become supported💀

[grim agate]

idk how people on pc are able to play early

[torn bluff]

Disc baby disc

[grim agate]

pc brawg

[torn bluff]

Oh nvm ignore me

Yeah I gathered that after I looked with my eyes as opposed to my ass

Dude I wonder if I could game share my early access

[rustic jackal]

Be patient just survive for 24 hrs

[pliant coral]

Less than 24 hours.

[river fern]

Come on lads

Exercise restraint

[odd gust]

Doom so peak

Mako would you choose a flail or a mace or a shield

[rustic jackal]

man...i mistakenly thought the Sentinels are moderators but in reality Mako is the real mods the whole time 💀

[rustic jackal]

The one with the light blue names

[plucky plinth]

Yeah, no. We just threw money at the server.

We wanted blue, and we got blue.

[rustic jackal]

Nitro boosters basically ?

[plucky plinth]

That exactly

[rustic jackal]

oh...

[plucky plinth]

Or just people who pay for boosts

[rustic jackal]

[plucky plinth]

Because you don’t need nitro for boosting. You only get 2 free ones with Nitro.

[rustic jackal]

i thought Samur Maykr (Thomas) was one of the mods the whole time 💀

[glass flame]

Wait is killing me

[rustic jackal]

i rlly wish i can see which roles are supposed to do... (Like Roles info)

[sleek ermine]

Just say Thomas

[plucky plinth]

The roles here are properly named

So you literally don’t need to guess

[rustic jackal]

i see

[cyan lotus]

From 5.1 to 6.0 the file size only increased by 4.4GB, I’d say it’s more likely skins from events ballooned it

[plucky plinth]

Moderators and mods, Administrators are admins, everything else is basically properly named

[rustic jackal]

I'll be back for the Dark Ages, see u all in 20 hours

[plucky plinth]

The only exception being the Sentinel Role, which is still defined in the rules

[alpine pilot]

doom whom

[torn bluff]

I’m basically a beta tester now where’s my role

[burnt moss]

did anyone else get an update for tda recently? a couple hours ago an update installed for it

[fresh lintel]

Hold on let me check

[burnt moss]

#screenshots

[fresh lintel]

Nope I don’t see any recent updates on steam at least

[alpine pilot]

are there gonna be demons in doom the dark ages

[burnt moss]

no unfortunately

[fresh lintel]

Ah I see, that could be the day 1 patch for any minor bug fixes or something

But for steam I don’t see any recent update activity

[pliant coral]

Yep. I got that

[stoic crane]

I’m getting my doom the dark age helmet soon I just placed my order today🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[fresh lintel]

Nice

[pliant coral]

Cool.

[latent bronze]

How did you get that shield saw?

[grim agate]

Does anyone know if this game will run on proton

[fresh lintel]

It’s a quest on discord it only appears on desktop

[latent bronze]

Oh can you tell me if it is hard to do

[ashen lantern]

Im preloading the standard doom the dark ages on steam. Wish me luck

[fresh lintel]

It’s not hard, all you gotta do is watch the trailer for doom the dark ages via the quest link and it’ll allow you to use it

[lusty oracle]

Yall hyped for doom the dark ages?

[fresh lintel]

Of course!

I can barely sleep bro I’m just lying here awake

[pliant coral]

Yep

[safe ice]

doom the dark ages (standard edition), just 3 days away

[fresh lintel]

18 hours away for premium owners

[pliant coral]

Indeed.

[safe ice]

I didnt buy the premium edition so ig I better avoid youtube so I dont get jumpscared with spoilers lol

[pliant coral]

Oh yeah it’s gonna get worse

[fresh lintel]

Yeah I’ve seen some people even uninstall YouTube from their phones it’s pretty crazy

[safe ice]

Im not gonna go that far lol

its gonna be worth it tho

[plain iron]

I'm in shambles from something cuz of reddit, but I also got confirmation that it is ahzrak who has his cheeks out

[fresh lintel]

I’m sorry what?

[plain iron]

Oh you didn't know

[fresh lintel]

I don’t use Reddit

[plain iron]

That's why his nickname was Prince asscrack here lmfao

[fresh lintel]

I’m guessing it’s concept art?

[plain iron]

On the rating board it mentioned that there is a single scene that contains nudity, and it's regarding a male villains ass, given there's like. 2. I didn't know if it was Ahzrak or the other skinny fuck

But someone here confirmed it for me that it's indeed Ahzrak

[fresh lintel]

It’s probably him getting dressed in his demonic robe lol

[plain iron]

That's what I'm thinking.

[fresh lintel]

Dude stepped out of the blood keep and get stylized just to get his ass whooped

[safe ice]

is it true that doomguy will team up with bitterman to defeat king ahzrak in the finale

[plain iron]

we fight him multiple times were the one getting our ass beat

[fresh lintel]

….

[safe ice]

ok I think thats enough looking in this channel for me

[plain iron]

Mb 😭

[fresh lintel]

Nah it’s ok I knew that cause Allstin said that in his review

[mild loom]

Wow that caught up faster than I thought it would

[fresh lintel]

I’m just fucking with you lol

[mild loom]

Gotta avoid spoilers for half a day of existing and 6 hours of sleeping

[plain iron]

Oh thank fuck

[plain iron]

Just sleep all the time :D

[mild loom]

Responsibilities

[fleet spruce]

17 hrs left

[fresh lintel]

Dude I wish I could sleep I’m tired as fuck but I can’t get comfortable cause I’m not in my usual bed and I have dogs surrounding me so I can’t exactly move either

[plain iron]

Awhh balls

[mild loom]

It’s coming out at 5 am my time

[safe ice]

Im in school so I cant do jack shit 💔

[mild loom]

Meaning I gotta sleep early

[fresh lintel]

Yeah my grandma decided to go on vacation so I’m in her room downstairs taking care of dogs and shit

[mild loom]

It’s in 17 hours

[safe ice]

Im a standard buyer but I just wanna pass the time a quicker way

[fresh lintel]

I was saying before that it’s weird that it’s not a midnight release like the previous titles and it makes me wonder if it was bethesdas choice or Microsoft

[safe ice]

Im gonna be absent on thursday tho (when it drops)

[cunning cloak]

Got the collectors edition and arrived yesterday, haven’t opened the box yet!!!

[safe ice]

its a midnight release for me (3AM)

[plain iron]

It's a midday release for new Zealand lmfao

[safe ice]

and probably a few other countries

[fresh lintel]

Yeah it’s really weird that it’s rolling out at specific times around the world

[plain iron]

I get it at 10am...

[fresh lintel]

I also cant wait for Civvie to play the game, he’s probably gonna make a joke about prince asscrack and how the mace can go fuck Randy and that John Carmack is some form of angelic yet demonic primordial creature

[plain iron]

.... I need to stay quiet.

[formal root]

show us the azhrak asscrack…

[mystic patrol]

I hope that chomkyr and asscrack will fight against the slayer together and then scream “its dark edging time” and perform an emote

[silent surge]

time zones, all the same. midnight UTC aka universal time on may 13/15

usa and the west is behind utc. europe aus nz all ahead of it

[plain iron]

I don't got a screenie, but when i do, I won't share it here cuz mods will smite.

[formal root]

alright.

keep us informed tho.

[plain iron]

[hard thistle]

the doom slayer ||fights a lot of demons|| in the dark ages

[formal root]

pretty sure is 100 bucks?

[rustic jackal]

i thought its 70 in us

[drowsy rock]

Around same than

[mystic patrol]

Also || doomslayer has shield ||

[rustic jackal]

bcuz i live in HK

[formal root]

standard edition

[rustic jackal]

oh...

[formal root]

the premium edition is 100 bucks

[hard thistle]

yeah i also found out recently that ||ha you clicked||

[rustic jackal]

Man...thats very cheap!!!

[drowsy rock]

Guys don’t spam @hard thistle & @mystic patrol

[rustic jackal]

Im just gonna be 100 HKD in cash

[hard thistle]

you are not a moderator

[formal root]

it shouldn't be a 100 bucks for a premium edition

[drowsy rock]

Ik but it’s annoying

[formal root]

but atleast it ain't more

[hard thistle]

unlucky

[rustic jackal]

for me it's 710 bucks

[formal root]

mf really said unlucky
like bro just don't be annoying lol

[hard thistle]

🤷

[grim agate]

wsg

[drowsy rock]

In my local currency it’s around 30K

[formal root]

nah don't give me that shit man

[drowsy rock]

But i’m in CANADA now

[rustic jackal]

bruh...thats expansive!!!

[drowsy rock]

It’s more or less $100 in US

[rustic jackal]

I would rather pay 100 dollars if it was for HK

[hard thistle]

||you clicked again whoops||

[mystic patrol]

Meanwhile in europe it is 110 euro (about 123 USD)

[drowsy rock]

Premium?

[mystic patrol]

The premium edition i mean

Yeah

[drowsy rock]

Lol

[mystic patrol]

The standard is 90 USD

[grim agate]

i only paid 100

thats for the ultimate btw

that was the wrong reply

[mystic patrol]

On pc, on consoles it might be a bit cheaper. It is like 70 euro on xbox and 80 euro on pc

[drowsy rock]

But seriously can’t wait to rip and tear

[mystic patrol]

Same

When doom eternal launched, i woke up at 2 AM because i couldnt sleep, played a bit from the first level and then i could sleep finally

[drowsy rock]

Been waiting for the next DOOM since 2021

[mystic patrol]

I didnt even expect them to do another doom tbh. When they revealed TDA my fucking jaw dropped and i screamed like a baby

[grim agate]

dude i fucking hope i dont have to dual boot windows for this game

[mystic patrol]

Why dual boot?

You on linux?

[grim agate]

yes

arch linux to be exact

[mystic patrol]

I think you should have no issues

It runs on steamdeck, it is unstable because of the low memory but it runs and opens

[grim agate]

i fucking hope so

[grim agate]

i should be fine in that case then, i got like 32 gbs of ram

[mystic patrol]

I think eternal was linux friendly out of the box as well

[grim agate]

eternal runs fine under linux, its just ray tracing gives me some issues

[mystic patrol]

Yeah 32 is more than enough. TDA uses about 15 gb ram and 8 gb vram

[mystic patrol]

Hmm. Have you tried indiana jones on linux?

[grim agate]

i dont own it

cyber punk cranked out with dlss fg runs fine, just gotta use proton experimental

[mystic patrol]

Ah. It uses forced RT as well like TDA so thats why i was asking

[mystic patrol]

With RT as well?

[grim agate]

yeah

[mystic patrol]

Then you should be fine

[grim agate]

it might just be what proton im using under eternal

[mystic patrol]

Yeah most probably

[grim agate]

i got a 40 series card so yeah i might be fine

[glass flame]

Waiting

[grim agate]

im just praying i dont have to dual boot

[mystic patrol]

I have 40 series as well. I am on 4060, and it runs really well from what ive seen on youtube. So much better than i expected

[grim agate]

i got a 4060 ti 16gb

[mystic patrol]

You good to go

Im sure id optimized their game for linux as well since more and more people are leaving windows behind, specially among gamers

It doesnt have multiplayer so no anticheat either, there should be no compatibility issues imo

[grim agate]

dude someone told me it did have a anti cheat

[safe ice]

it has DRM

but it still works under linux

[mystic patrol]

That is different. Every game has drm nowadays, but it works under linux

[grim agate]

lemme guess

dinuvo

[mystic patrol]

Yep

Denuvo

[sleek ermine]

would you rather have 3 fan gpu or 16 gb vram gpu

[grim agate]

dude fuck denuvo

[safe ice]

give it like a year or two and it'll probably be removed

[hard thistle]

Denuvo is very sketchy, plus it wont stop the sea sailing and guarantee thatll perform better than the actual purchase. Youre just giving people reason to go the other way.

Its so dumb that we have to deal with this

[sudden stump]

last two games had it and the fps gained after it was removed were negligible

[hard thistle]

If anything, the game should be cheaper if they want to add some shitty drm that tanks our performance, just saying

[sour crater]

is youtube accurate in saying that i can play this game with a 3050 (6gb)

[fluid jacinth]

No you need a 5090

[safe ice]

you can play with a 3050 but it needs to be 8gb

[hard thistle]

It can be cracked easily but it depends on the time, money and expertise

[sour crater]

empress?

[zealous shard]

hell yeah!!!!! can't wait to play the game. unfortunatly i haven't bought it yet, as i dont know what this extra campaign-dlc is about. would it be worth the extra money?

[hard thistle]

When the world needed him most, he vanished

[rare pilot]

So to see the digital artbook or the listen to the soundtrack do we have to wait for the whole game to drop in two days or should it be accessible now?

[zealous shard]

if you bought the premium edition, you'll have access now

[rare pilot]

I bought the collectors edition. I have all the skins but can’t seem to find the digital artbook or soundtrack

[sour crater]

hey guys, is youtube accurate when it comes to benchmarks with tda requirements? I just saw a 3050 gb run the game at 30-40ish fps on low

[zealous shard]

the collectors edition? with the figure/statue??? if yes, then that will prolly come via mail

[rare pilot]

Yes I got it in the mail Saturday and I’ve used the code to upgrade. Store tells me code is used.

[sour crater]

hey guys, could someone answer my question really quick?

[zealous shard]

you've used the code and it already told you it's in use????? 😮

[tropic adder]

Wait for the release day, or early access day, and try then.
I preordered digital premium and still cannot acces OST or artbook in my lib.
If it doesn't work - bethesda support.

[odd gust]

Doom the dark ages best game of all time

[tropic adder]

Play first. Then comment.

[next oar]

store says you used it after u put it in, or it says u cant use it because its already in use?

[burnt moss]

No

why would you say that

[zealous shard]

wait, if we buy the premium edition, we'll have acces to the first upcoming campaign dlc and all the ones coming after for free??? if we just buy standard edition, we won't get the future dlcs and so on for free ?

[tropic adder]

Because never judge the book by its cover?
That and I kinda spoiled most of the things for myself. Not that I mind?
I am going to play it anyway cuz I always have to FEEL rather than believe. So I'm not saying anything 'till I take the wheel.
Only THEN shall I judge, praise or condemn.
Tho I already know things I praise. A lot in fact.

[tropic adder]

Theres only 1 dlc in the premium so far? but yeah that's basically that. You buy premium - you get the dlc in advance.

[burnt moss]

blah blah blabbity blah

goty

[tropic adder]

Ah general youth. No wonder we're all fked.

[zealous shard]

this is what google's ai gathered: DOOM: The Dark Ages will have campaign DLC available, and access to it is included with the Premium Edition and Premium Upgrade. The DLC availability date will be announced later. The Premium Edition also includes a Digital Artbook & Soundtrack, Divinity Skin Pack, and access to upcoming future Campaign DLC, according to Blizzard News.

[burnt moss]

just relax man

[tropic adder]

That's what it says on the product page, yeah. There's even a pic. There's one DLC campaign in the bundle and if you took premium - you get it. I dunno about more than that one. They didnt mention anything. Maybe there wont be any. Or maybe they'll be announced. Dunno if we get them for free too? Highly doubt.

[odd gust]

Im never gonna be able to play it bro 😭

[tropic adder]

*ma'am

[zealous shard]

i remember, we've gotten both ancient gods dlc's for free, when we bought the premium version of de ?

[tropic adder]

Yeah but werent they both "announced" on the preorder? I cant remember.

[burnt moss]

damn you just owned me

[zealous shard]

the first one, yea. dunno about the last one

so, i assume alot bought the premoum edition ye?

[next oar]

wonder if they'll do a 2 parter again

[small echo]

I pre ordered a physical copy of the premium edition and it's supposed to come out tomorrow (or today ig) at 8 for me what are the chances it comes today

[odd gust]

The hud face in doom tda is so peak bro

I love their wttention to detail

[hard thistle]

Are yall ready to GOON to DOOM?!

[odd gust]

[hard thistle]

[zealous shard]

[loud egret]

ai </3

[zealous shard]

n-ai, sowy. google's gemini is more for research and stuff like that. not bad, actually.

[loud egret]

i gotta be up in 3 hours can i do the tried and true new zealand method to do the premium access now or nah

[loud egret]

tbh i would never use AI for research. like google is right there i aint gonna ask the stupid algorith yknow

[next oar]

up to you ig

[cunning shale]

A bit less than 17 hours left

[loud egret]

i need to know if it works!!

[zealous shard]

google is gathering the stuff. i ain't actually using gemini. most of the time i get a gemini answer, whenever i use google search

[next oar]

ur the one who said "tried and true" !

[loud egret]

yeah but it might be untried and false rn!!! idk if i can actually play early by the method!!

[next oar]

lol

[onyx fjord]

Goom

[native ridge]

When can I stream Dark Ages? Cuz I can play with the game

[loud egret]

you cant do that

[loud egret]

how're you playing it? collectors edition?

[native ridge]

Yes collector

[loud egret]

aw man

i need to know if i should sacrafice sleep to go see if i can play it rn

got the premium stuff

[sleek ermine]

will the doom the dark ages helmet disappear from the store

[regal geyser]

They say that the time of unlocking is different across time zones, probably meaning that it opens everywhere at the same time

That how I read it

[native ridge]

Well actually this is my friend account he offer for streaming cuz I'm poor for buy 🥲

[loud egret]

aw man

[regal geyser]

A couple hours of sleep is better than maybe playing a game in my opinion

[sleek ermine]

.

[cunning shale]

How can you play games not out yet even early access? Are you a YouTuber or something.

[cunning shale]

You could always watch prom

[sleek ermine]

I do really want the collector’s edition but it will likely be removed from the store :(

[cunning shale]

Why? What is it got a link?

[sleek ermine]

doom eternal’s collector’s edition disappeared

[cunning shale]

I’m just behind the premium upgrade for the dlc and early access plus the cool skins

[cunning shale]

Link?

[sleek ermine]

international.gear.bethesda.net/products/doom-the-dark-ages-collectors-bundle?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=1852f49fe&pr_rec_pid=15038811603318&pr_ref_pid=15008087048566&pr_seq=uniform

[cunning shale]

Well yeah it’s just a launch thing

Jesus Christ $238

[sleek ermine]

I will die

[sleek ermine]

I will die aYHCVT

[cunning shale]

I’m struggling just to justify buying a switch 2 which is $500 with freaking Mario kart an $80 game

[next oar]

real ones bought it back in january

[sleek ermine]

you dont want to know the price I need to pay to play the game…

[cunning shale]

Wym?

[sleek ermine]

my pc sucks

so I need to upgrade

[cunning shale]

This better be like those crazy quality anime figurines that’s so insane you can take the panties off and it’s normal

[sleek ermine]

it is

watch a review video of it

[cunning shale]

Oh that’s different.

It’s not about the amount of $$$ spent it’s about the money wasted

[sleek ermine]

It wont be wasted money

I might need to get in debt with my dad tho

[cunning shale]

You’re paying $238 to pay a game that costs nothing to play. That’s $238 wasted

It’s like when people buy nvidia gpus instead of Amd gpu. Burning money away. Well no that’s actually a lot worse. But similar.

[cunning shale]

Do you plan to scalp it?

How is this not wasted?

[sleek ermine]

?

[cunning shale]

And hey no shame to people who enjoy this stuff what you spend money on I get.

It’s just if you need to go into debt please don’t lol.

[sleek ermine]

i want to get my new pc asap

[cunning shale]

How is this not wasteful?

You’re spending a lot more money than you need to play the game.

[zealous shard]

bad comparison. not everybody buying an nvidia is getting it just for gaming. amd gpus do NOT have cuda

[sleek ermine]

well… it’s for an upgrade so I can play TDA

I prefer PC so I dont get Xbox or PS5

Im not wasting money, I’m buying new PC/PC upgrade

[tropic adder]

True not like PC is only for gaming.

[sleek ermine]

a new PC is very expensive

it will cost me $1700

but that’s whatever, i can handle it

[cunning shale]

If you’re buying something for professional reasons you don’t feel the need to justify it. And why should you.

It’s pretty obvious that’s not what I’m talking about. And also Amd doesn’t sell professional gpu so the comparison should’ve also made that obvious.

[zealous shard]

they do. they have gpu cards not for gaming

[cunning shale]

I never said your pc was a waste of money. But buying an nvidia gpu over an Amd is a waste of money.

[cunning shale]

Not really lol. It’s not even 1% of the market. So much professional software runs on cuda and relies on Nvidias encoders and stuff.

If something is making you money by purchasing it which is what professional use is you don’t have to justify it.

[burnt moss]

its gonna be so difficult to sleep tonight

[cunning shale]

At most you can point to a few amd gpu used in servers for ai but that’s data center use and such a tiny fraction of the market I would be pleasantly surprised if it was more than 1% of the data center gpu market.

[hard thistle]

sleep?

tonight?

[cunning shale]

Please name one? I can’t remember any that have released it’s been so long

[burnt moss]

you heard me

[burnt moss]

actually no its not. im purposely avoiding all doom content so that im not having sleep problems due to excitement and its been working

[zealous shard]

amd radeon pro w7000

oh i cant post links

AMD Instinct MI325X

[fleet spruce]

first thing I'm gonna do after waking up tomorrow is get my hands on experience with the game, god i hate waking up at 5 am during whole week

[fluid nacelle]

Ahh only 14 more hours until i can play

[hard thistle]

WEEEEEWW

[somber spoke]

With the quest if you don't have a pc how do you actually access the video your supposed to watch to complete the quest

[fleet spruce]

you don't

[somber spoke]

Great welp I tried thanks for at least telling me

[zealous shard]

what video on pc?? huh??

[somber spoke]

The dark ages quest on discord the one for the border for your pfp

[native ridge]

No I just downloaded and press play

[burnt moss]

collectors edition?

[pallid sundial]

Big channel said embargo is tmr but also many channel playing rn lmao

[jolly geyser]

collectors bundle, physical, or creator access. thats the 3 ways anyone is playing early.

[thick moth]

how are we all feeling today fellas

todays the day (for anyone who has deluxe)

[burnt moss]

for me its tomorrow 9am

[thick moth]

i had to wear my doom 2016 shirt for today for the occasion

[burnt moss]

im about to go to sleep

[cunning shale]

That’s a data center ai card

[cunning shale]

So doom the dark ages is out? Where do you live?

[thick moth]

it might be out in new zealand idk

[cunning shale]

Bro that card released in 2012…

[tropic adder]

Did any of us try to move the clock btw? Dunno if it would work?

[cunning shale]

Oh yeah

[burnt moss]

@cunning shale

[cunning shale]

Yeah it’s in 15 hours comes out

[cunning shale]

I mean duh I know the early access but the game literally isn’t out

[tropic adder]

2 AM will be here soon

[burnt moss]

yeah its not

[fleet spruce]

Feeling great, just waiting for my shift to be over already, meanwhile im entertaining myself with WH40K Space Marine

[tropic adder]

A fellow brother!

[cunning shale]

According to the world wide release time it comes out in 14 hours and 45 minutes. Is that what you’re seeing?

[burnt moss]

nah it doesnt work like that

[cunning shale]

It’s worked I think before but rarely for some gamepass or online downloaded games

[zealous shard]

RADEO PRO .. not firepro

[tropic adder]

I dunno i just looked at the map, saw Frankfurt is in 2 am.

[cunning shale]

Which is in how many hours?

[fleet spruce]

Its been sitting in my library since it was given away for free. Can't believe i was sleeping on this game for so long.

[thick moth]

im just playing some death stranding 2 on ps5 pro right now

[burnt moss]

yeah but definitely not for this game. otherwise tens of thousands would be playing right now

[tropic adder]

its 11:17 AM now so a whole day away. But it will come fast for me since gotta busy day. in the worst way possible but still busy!

[cunning shale]

No they patched that a while back

[burnt moss]

what

[cunning shale]

So like 16-17 hours approximately

[tropic adder]

Wait till you get your hands on "Boltgun" and finish what cpt. Titus has started.
And then finish it AGAIN when you get the amazing SM2.

[cunning shale]

The whole loophole of switching your region to new zealend for early game releases.

[fleet spruce]

I see, have fun! I got still 6 hours of shift left and hour worth of bus ride back home lmao

[mild loom]

wait so, isnt the early access lauching on the same time for everyone?

[sleek ermine]

raytracing

[burnt moss]

yes, it is

[tropic adder]

i thought it launches at one moment but due to time zones its different for everyone.

[burnt moss]

people are just getting confused/misunderstanding

[mild loom]

god whats with all these AMD boys in the discord nowadays

[tropic adder]

theres a whole MAP! official!

[fleet spruce]

I actually postponed boltgun last year , i should finish it as well. Such gorgeous game ngl.

[cunning shale]

I feel bad for the pro using that card. Even with the pro tax it’s sub $600 on Amazon.

I guess it technically exists but they still don’t even have 1% market share. And this is such a niche product.

And for years there was nothing lol.

[burnt moss]

no thats not how it works. it releases in 14 hours, 38 minutes, and 16 seconds from now for EVERYONE with deluxe edition

[cunning shale]

See the fanboy who buys based on brand not performance. This is him in the wild

[mild loom]

lmao, have you ever opened up a gpu before?

[alpine pilot]

DOOM

[mild loom]

"moar fps makes my suicidal gpu with memory leaks out the arse much better than nvidia crap"

[burnt moss]

you cant patch that. for some games it works, for some games it doesnt. you cant patch something across every platform

[thick moth]

i love seeing pc gamers fight 😍

[cunning shale]

Yes but the number of hours is exactly the same. For example in my time zone it’s may 12th at 7 pm.

But the number of hours until the global launch is the same. It’s the same time not in the local area but globally adjusted.

[thick moth]

meanwhile i just have a 3050 on my laptop

[mild loom]

techtubers are the worst thing to happen to the pc building community, period

[cunning shale]

Well it was a bug with how game stores and gamepass worked. That can be patched out by Microsoft lol.

[thick moth]

NVIDIA has the best GPUs but man the latest ones have had so many problems

[fleet spruce]

Handheld PC gamer here (ROG Ally X), I just accepted the lower performance in exchange for ability to play anywhere

[thick moth]

lower VRAM,8GB VRAM 5060s,5090 costing like 2k$

[cunning shale]

Ltt has been very good. But yeah with gamers nexus being what it is I get what you mean.

[mild loom]

the 50 series is absolute shit other than the 5090

[thick moth]

i game on a PS5 Pro main and i have all current gen consoles but i also wanna build a PC but the PC market is so horrible rn

theres just no reason to have the 5080 with only 16GB VRAM and not 24GB

[cunning shale]

Nvidia only has the best gpu if you’re willing to spend more than a grand on your gpu. Otherwise they’re worse.

[mild loom]

I agree, LTT has been better recently, especially now that hes back to doing the fun tech content and experimenting with things. He had a bad streak a couple years ago where he was slinging awful advice all over the place

[cunning shale]

Which fun fact most people don’t spend 1k+ on their gpu.

[thick moth]

i really liked AMD's new 9070xt gpu

[mild loom]

compared to the 9070xt, yes.

compared to RDNA 3. no. RDNA 3 is very bad architecture, regardless of its performance in gaming

[cunning shale]

Ltt has always been good. They had growing pains sure.

Not sure what you mean by slinging awful advice lol

[zealous shard]

i thought we were talking about non-gaming gpu cards. dont get me wrong, i own an AMD gaming gpu card myself. i guess we were talking about different stuff 😄

[burnt moss]

yeah xbox can patch exploits on their console for sure. on playstation i could still change my date to october to get halloween event items on terraria

[cunning shale]

$ for $ you got a lot more with rdna 3 and rdna 2 than Nvidia 4000 and 3000.

That’s what matters performance per $ after all.

[mild loom]

he used to reccomend alot of faulty parts and just blatantly get basic info wrong like SSD speeds, motherboard quality, CPU architecture etc etc

[mild loom]

not really, RDNA 2 was fine but it didnt have many very features like ray tracing or good upscaling

RDNA 3 is borderline suicidial

[cunning shale]

I was being hyperbolic they technically exist but in reality don’t. The whole if basically nobody buys a product it basically doesn’t exist.

[mild loom]

here. i explained this to someone earlier

my source is i repair gpus and work in tech shops

[formal root]

Yeah, they’re helping me rn with tech stuff

its very interesting

[zealous shard]

borderline suicidial means?

[thick moth]

so apparently the raytracing in doom the dark ages is embedded in the game like indiana jones?

[cunning shale]

And someone spending x amount on am amd gpu and the same amount on an nvidia will still get better running and looking games on the amd gpu.

But you can increase your internal resolution and graphics settings and it’ll look and run better.

Never mind the vram issues of Nvidia cards.

You’re right fsr wasn’t in a great place then. Xess wasn’t even a thing which is basically on par with dlss. TSR too which is better than dlss but expensive.

[mild loom]

means the gpu's architecture degrades its pcb and vrms much faster than a normal RDNA 2 gpu

[zealous shard]

also the normal 9070?

[cunning shale]

I don’t expect you to run them both at the same settings and resolution

[cunning shale]

Both amazing cards just expensive but that’s the gpu market for the past 5 years lol. Msrp might be good but basically nobody’s paying Msrp.

[mild loom]

dont get me wrong, i LIKE AMD gpus, they offer gamers a more cost effective option, thats why i have no trouble reccomending anyone RDNA 2 or RDNA 4. but RDNA 3 had a lot of structural problems that i couldnt in good faith reccomend

[mild loom]

as far as i know its fine, because it uses a monolithic die instead of chiplet

[zealous shard]

whats an rdna3 and whats an rdna4 gpu card?

[cunning shale]

And what is this supposed major flaw that will supposedly cause rdna 3 gpu to prematurely fail Intel 13th and 14th gen style?

And the evidence for this do you have any?

[mild loom]

RDNA 2: 6000 series AMD
RDNA 3: 7000 Series AMD
RDNA 4: 9000 series AMD

[mild loom]

i explained it here

.

[cunning shale]

That’s not proof that’s just speculation.

By that logic any architecture that adds features is doomed to fail early.

[mild loom]

no its because i investigated it myslef after seeing an insane amount of RDNA 3 gpus in the shop for repair

with busted up VRMS and polycaps

[cunning shale]

Proof means evidence. Facts. Not your opinion. But statistics. You’d have to show me a greater rate of failure among a representative sample of cards.

[mild loom]

next time ill get you a flowchart with pink highlighter on it, but for now its just my word and other's that actually deal with these cards. Consumer bias is a real thing, dont let it get to yer head

[cunning shale]

Your opinion, my opinion. Stories. Anecdotes are not proof they mean nothing in terms of facts and evidence.

Speculation is just that you’re guessing. And to draw conclusions based on speculation is foolish

[fossil spear]

what are yall yapping about

[mild loom]

i mean sure lmao, guess well have to wait for the "tech jesus" Gamers Nexus to make a video and everyones gonna believe him

[mild loom]

just architecture and gpus in general

[fossil spear]

that isnt very the dark ages

[empty urchin]

I just want to be able to run the game. I don't give a shit about resolution or high settings.

[mild loom]

but before going off to work, im gonna just say this:

Theres a REASON AMD switched back to monolithic gpus for RDNA 4. Put the pieces together and youll understand why they did so

[mild loom]

thats true

Doom The Tech Ages.

[cunning shale]

So you wanna lecture me on consumer bias because I asked for actual proof?

If things are failing proof exists. When the 12 volt Nvidia power cables were failing we had statistics to show the % that failed and the ratings that indicated why they had such a short life.

You’re just like oh I work with these gpu so what im saying is fact. Like a Trust me bro lol no

[fossil spear]

the age we live in

[formal root]

[fossil spear]

Tldr: this guy is angry about technology

[mild loom]

[fossil spear]

lmao

[cunning shale]

Steve is an unethical lier I know hes done good work before but I don’t trust someone who’s gonna lie like that and disregard hundreds of years of ethics in his pursuit.

Same as I don’t trust the scientist who doesn’t follow the scientific method.

[loud gulch]

6 gb of vram should be fine?? i saw a couple of videos who used different gpus with 6 gbs of vram and they managed to work

[fossil spear]

[mild loom]

[mild loom]

good choice

[cunning shale]

And does said messenger have proof? If we wanna roleplay like you have a message where is it?

This you’re not the messenger you’re just a preacher with no proof of anything.

[mild loom]

most of them are, which is why i stopped watching tech youtube as a whole and kinda just migrated to talking to my friends that work in chip architecture for nvidia and amd

[fossil spear]

[fossil spear]

[mild loom]

[formal root]

whats going on?

[cunning shale]

Claim to be a journalist and completly disregard the code of journalist ethics.

Then and this is worse because mistakes happen we’re human not robots after all but trying to pretend it’s okay and justify it with these horrible arguments.

I have a background in medicine, pharmacology and statistics. So I do take facts as being important and draw the line between what you and I think and what is factually true and proven to be true

[fossil spear]

no actually tho wtf is this conversation god damn Tris it’s not that deep bro😭🙏

[jolly geyser]

I just dont buy anything & go outside 🙂

[fossil spear]

i thought he was talking about steve from minecraft…

[cunning shale]

Call me naive but has Linus or marques lied about anything. And I mean maliciously denied or covered up the truth.

To my understanding no. They also don’t claim to be holier than thou journalists but just people into tech making videos.

[thick moth]

do they have to be logical?

[empty urchin]

What do you mean?

[thick moth]

marques bankrupted my favourite AI pin company

[jolly geyser]

LMAO this guy is unhinged gawg

[mild loom]

they dont claim to be but they have definitely fucked stuff up big time, i absolutely agree with you, gamers nexus is the scummiest among them.

but those guys have a HUGE tech following, and to get shit wrong as consistently as they were a few years ago is just.....oof

[cunning shale]

He didn’t give the right to reply and came up with bs excuses. He called himself a journalist when violating much of the principles of over 100 years of investigative journalism.

He also misrepresented things A LOT while he cosplayed as a journalist.

[formal root]

[empty urchin]

I think I asked you about specs a while ago, about the cpu requirements. I have a i5 12400, 6 cores and 12 logical processors. Minimum is saying I need more. Would I be able to overclock it a bit to get it running?

[thick moth]

big W

[fossil spear]

[loud gulch]

"can my xbox run gran turismo 7"

[sleek ermine]

[thick moth]

@loud gulch i mean it could if it got ported it would be able to

[fossil spear]

tris legit writing the tech rant bibble

[mild loom]

ts so buns

[formal root]

oh he’s still writing

[loud gulch]

with a massive IF

[fossil spear]

oh no

[empty urchin]

Ive never overclocked before, hope I don't set the house on fire.

[mild loom]

this better be biblical

[cunning shale]

I don’t think it’s near as big a fuck up as anyone claims it is.

And frankly they owned up to it big time. Even hired outside third party investigation on any workplace conduct and published the results.

They made some bad mistakes on graphs. Which is serious but nowhere near as bad as people say.

Billet labs they’re mostly not in the wrong for. They were gifted it which means they own it even if the company asks for it back. And they accidently acutioned it off for charity, an item they owned.

The 4090 vs 3090. 1) bullet labs said it would worn. 2) they shared the results of the video before posting and billet labs was wirb it.

Billet labs was delusional. Didn’t realize no market existed for their product until they went under. I feel bad for the employees to have such idiotic management.

[loud gulch]

why is tris still typing

[formal root]

there it is

[loud gulch]

WTF

[thick moth]

@loud gulch idk much about how gran turismo 7 is coded so maybe there'd be problems?

[fossil spear]

HOLY SHIT

[zealous shard]

[formal root]

[fossil spear]

[cunning shale]

Reading can be difficult do they not teach it anymore in school?

[fossil spear]

People get offended easily if you couldn’t guess. Actually more so if it’s a joke

[mild loom]

UNFORTUNATE: The Dim Times

[loud gulch]

Erm, Acutally, One of the best upsides of being an avid reader is that it gives you something fun and healthy to do in any season or weather. In the late summer and early fall, reading indoors can be a great way to beat the heat and avoid overexertion. During the winter, there’s nothing cozier than curling up with a hot beverage and a good book. Of course, during the temperate months, you can also read al fresco in your favorite garden, park, beach, pool, or other outdoor spot.

[formal root]

thats why I mostly wanna buy artbooks

letters and pictures

the best of both worlds

[sleek ermine]

Welp. My PC gonna be expensive

[fossil spear]

GRRRRRRRR turns into sigma wolf mode with red glowing eyes and phonk music playing in the background

[empty urchin]

ts pmo sybau🥀🥀🥀

[mild loom]

the funniest thing is, you can make a TDA functional pc for like, 500 bucks if you really cheap out on quality

[cunning shale]

Yeah he’s solid. He’s pretty niche not my niche but the stuff I’ve seen solid.

He was very ethical about the ek partnership and ending that despite the money he was owed and not wanting it but to pay the employees first

[rustic jackal]

So it’s in the morning for me ig

[loud gulch]

all because of gurt yo

[formal root]

alright nvm

[loud gulch]

cheap laptops work too

[fossil spear]

i dont like the name “doom slayer” they should have just kept him as doomguy the whole series it sounds better

[formal root]

there is a thing as an affordable pc

[mild loom]

very no nonsense:

he praises nvidia, amd and intel when needed, and repremands them all when needed.

hes no bullshit

[sleek ermine]

that PSU that I could’ve gotten if you didn’t warn me

[fossil spear]

idek man

[mild loom]

for 500 bucks? i doubt it

[loud gulch]

nah doom marine sounds better

[fossil spear]

fr🔥🔥🔥

[mild loom]

oh yeah lmao, the psu would have gone to shit

[empty urchin]

My computers gonna work itself to the bone to run this game. Just as god intended.

[alpine pilot]

id should release their own hardware for $10 exclusively for games on their engine and call it the doombox

[formal root]

doom marine has a nice ring to it

[loud gulch]

check out pc gamers article on their doom tda performance analysis

[sleek ermine]

thanks for that btw

[cunning shale]

@mild loom what I don’t get is why are people made at Linus for Honeh a sooner from years ago they dropped due to someone else’s recommendation but not mad about not saying anything about EK.

A company engaging in illegal tax avoidance lol. And one they’ve worked with much more recently.

[formal root]

but then again

the doom 3 guy is also the doom marine

[fossil spear]

yeah way better than doom slayer

[loud gulch]

pre doom slayer was peak.

[cunning shale]

The hive mindset of people is so confusing and illogical

[sleek ermine]

[alpine pilot]

[fossil spear]

[cunning shale]

A person can be smart but people are foolish.
