but me crazy

[cyan pewter]

bro might need to give up on the game

deadass

[worn dome]

he was flexing on me abt how he went 25 and 15 in a plat lobby, i looked and it was low silver high bronze

[cyan pewter]

mfs do anything just to lie

[worn dome]

called him out told me i was always being negative(just like his kd)

i think 80% of the games he plays on omen(his main) he dosent use a single tp (the one you have two of)

90% actually

[cyan pewter]

tbh i rarely use it too

[cyan pewter]

@worn dome top 10 crashouts

[worn dome]

Lmao

[cyan pewter]

[worn dome]

Yk what at least he didn’t go newtove

[cyan pewter]

he has worse combat score than a skye who went 14/21

😐

[worn dome]

LMAO

peak kill steal

[cyan pewter]

also

[cyan pewter]

i genuinely think plat/diamond is easier than gold

[worn dome]

As a elo hell resident I can confirm

I have 3 properties/estates in elo hell actually

[cyan pewter]

i can confirm cause i have one account perma stuck gold and my main is perma stuck in high plat- mid diamond

[worn dome]

It seems to be hard stuck gold hardscruxk diamond and hardstuxk immo are the most common

So like every other rank lmao

[nimble current]

thanks for reminding me why quitting pvp was the best decision of my gaming life

though sometimes am lowkey tempted to get on and play some real bad just to upset sweats like that

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[bleak pike]

its stupid

every time i launch

and 5 commands

[orchid prism]

Yes. And no one knows why this was only pushed to Gamepass 😄

[bleak pike]

Well, the good news is my deskto got a nice clean and replacement fan and temsps are super cool and silent again

fuck me haha, the commands wont work

[sinful cobalt]

[small comet]

id assume smth to do with xbox since the gamepass games are shared between the platforms

[orchid prism]

They don't run the exact same files though.

[small comet]

from what i know about the xbox and its current arch this depends on the game. some games have separate listings meaning 1 for pc and 1 for xbox or just 1 or the other. and then theres games using the same resources for both platforms

wrong

they didnt zoom in on assets as much cause theyre scared of the 16+ rating

the difference between 12+ and 16+ is kinda detrimental to gachas

i mean.... look at nikke which is infinitely more gooner bait and its still at 12+

i got bored.

[bleak pike]

https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/mythic-quest-canceled-apple-tv-plus-new-ending-1236366662/

Sadge, at least it's getting an actual ending.

[bleak pike]

I'm accepting money donations when you're bored again :p

[worn dome]

nah

i gotta buy like

ie300
wlmouse beast x pro
sp-004
64 gb ddr5 6000mhz
9070xt

[bleak pike]

What game is that

64gb I would sys isn't needed but yolo

But 9070xt seems like a weird pairing with that CPU.

Then again I guess it depends what you play! :p

[worn dome]

huh

im confused as to who and what youre referring to

better then sp-004 or nah

alr nvm

yeah ik but like

[autumn spindle]

I dont get how anyone uses glass mouse pads

But thats just me

The surface lol

Too smooth unless well u like having less friction

The same way some people like super light mice and some like heavy

[digital dawn]

watch me

[worn dome]

[digital dawn]

gamers have insane muscle atrophy from sitting in a damn chair all day

[autumn spindle]

Bro i feel like im the only pc gamer that stands up playing mean while I have a $2000 herman miller emboy I can seat on

😅 😅 😅

[hardy merlin]

I have cheap Ikea kitchen chair

[bleak pike]

You on the hardware

[worn dome]

7800x3d and 9070xt rn

[autumn spindle]

Eh i do but makes me realize how much i do waste

[worn dome]

i play valorant, a mostly cpu game

[autumn spindle]

I should just give it to someone at least it would be used

[bleak pike]

Fair

[hardy merlin]

2 more weeks wait for a new CPU

[worn dome]

a new launch?

[autumn spindle]

I think they mean they waiting for theirs

[hardy merlin]

yup

[worn dome]

ah

[autumn spindle]

Imma cop a 9950x3D

[worn dome]

7800x3d came in today its so fast

[autumn spindle]

Need to upgrade my r9 5950x its been like 2 generations already

[worn dome]

was running on 13600kf

[autumn spindle]

Lol it is a 3D cpu lol

[worn dome]

figured that for a 360hz oled might as well be able to get 360 fps

so ddr5 and 7800x3d

[autumn spindle]

Nice lol

Im going for a full new build

Soon

[worn dome]

i mkight move to itx in a year or tw

[autumn spindle]

Thinking my build gonna do msi meg X870E Godlike MB with EKWB waterblock, DDR5 trident Z Royals 128gb ram, 2x 2tb 990 Pros Ssd, ryzen 9 9950x3D , RTX 5090 , 1500watt psu platinum rated and custom water loop

[bleak pike]

Gotta get that 1% skill increase 😂

[autumn spindle]

Lmaoo

[worn dome]

fax

[hardy merlin]

Sort by: price decreasing

[bleak pike]

Set a price bracket too

[autumn spindle]

@worn dome just make sure u stop right there i have tried all the flavors from 144, 240, 360 , 500hz after 360 u cant tell much

[bleak pike]

Start at $5000

[worn dome]

nah i might get 480hz duel mode

[autumn spindle]

Eh

[worn dome]

or whatever releases when my oled burns in

[autumn spindle]

U not really gonna see much difference

[bleak pike]

[pure bear]

i dont see the point of these ultra mobos at all

[autumn spindle]

Better VRM cooling

[sage ingot]

[hardy merlin]

X870 is useless unless you specifically want its features
5090 is exactly the same speed on PCIe 5.0, 4.0 and 3.0

[autumn spindle]

Yea i want it for the better cooling lol

[hardy merlin]

As if VRMs needed more cooling

[autumn spindle]

Would be even better if they added a waterblock to it from the factory

[pure bear]

my vrms have never gone above 50c and i spent a third

and for that money you could buy a custom vrm cooler and still be cheaper

[hardy merlin]

They can be air-cooled just like RAM sticks

RAM sticks have been shipped

[pure bear]

bunnies RAM too

[autumn spindle]

I like the extra piece of mind lol I run alot of Virtual machines running almost 24/7

[hardy merlin]

192G time

[sage ingot]

idk you kinda need that extra super gaming + godlike finstack on your 24+ stage vrm setup to run a 9950x3d at an adequate speed

it is simply essential

[hardy merlin]

Imma slap that 9950x3d onto b650

[sage ingot]

erm, that's a bad idea, something will blow up surely

[hardy merlin]

computer goes beep boop

[autumn spindle]

I fill like thats a crime

🤣 🤣 🤣

Then again i was the dumbass that thinks more is better and once brought a threadripper for gaming

[sage ingot]

there is one reason to buy a godlike mobo and talk about it on a public discord, and I can tell you straight away, it's not better vrm cooling lol

[autumn spindle]

@sage ingot i would say there are multiple because the godlike board doesnt share pcie slots with M.2's . I think it also handles overclocking better due to the components

[sage ingot]

[hardy merlin]

Why would you OC a 9950X3D

[autumn spindle]

Because i tinker with everything lol

[digital dawn]

for that 0.000372% performance increase

[autumn spindle]

Why leave extra performance on the table u cant use

Exactly lol

Gonna already watercool it so i can OC it even more

[sage ingot]

id go ln if I were you

you seem like you really need that extra performance that's trapped in the superior components just itching to get out there

[autumn spindle]

I am gonna delid it and everything

[hardy merlin]

Nonono, I mean you don't OC CPUs anymore
You undervolt them, so that it can chug more current from PSU and achieve higher clocks while being stable
OC is so 2010s right now

At least when it comes to AMD
I dunno what Intel is doing

[autumn spindle]

Lol i always just do a standard benchmark

Then OC it till it crashes so i know the limit

[narrow junco]

Ik what intel is doing

[autumn spindle]

Then take it from there

[narrow junco]

Going up in flames

[autumn spindle]

Lmaooo

When i sell my parts for this current build yall gonna love it lol

I basically give them away lol

[hardy merlin]

I just undervolted mu CPU and GPU, works great, more free performance

[autumn spindle]

I think of it like driving a car lol why buy a car that goes 200mph but never be able to use it to its full potential its just the thought of knowing u have that increase in performance

[pure bear]

ln2 is too hot. liquid helium is better.

[sage ingot]

good point

[scarlet marlin]

maybe for when I fget a switch 2 at some point hehe

[hardy merlin]

Raquel!

[hardy merlin]

Look at the right, it's compatible with all switches 1 too

[autumn spindle]

How is the switch anyway

[digital dawn]

well I mean, the switch 2 is by far the largest out of the lineup, so if its compatible with the switch 2 its compatible with the rest

[autumn spindle]

Like do u people think its a replacement for psp

[small comet]

yes free for having ordered 120eur from the shop

[proper basin]

its now near 4am here, ive been in this limbus dungeon since like 9

Well for one you used it in a very different manner, and you've been warned prior about similar things.

think about that what you will

[hardy merlin]

I don't want anything made by them past 2016, even for free
Microtransactions in single-player game, no matter how non-invasive, is a no-go for me, a step too far
They can [redacted]

[sinful cobalt]

i miss these kind of shows

its still funny to think that the guy who played Sportacus was 40 years old when the show started

[hardy merlin]

"Join me, let's exercise together! "

the most unbelievable gymnastics routine seen by a man

[proper basin]

Obviously enough for children to do if they show it to them, guess its a skill issue

We all must become sportacus

[hardy merlin]

You can't do the same stuff like multiple aerobik gymnastics champion? Skill issue

[proper basin]

[sinful cobalt]

indeed skill issue

[hardy merlin]

I mean

[cyan pewter]

@proper basin you might struggle a bit using zani, her best in-slot team is 3 different premium units but she does have a f2p option, just wont deal as much damage

I just know i used my free ticket on the lion new year guy lol

[sinful cobalt]

imagine 77 hours into a keylogger xD

i hate lingyang

mostly because i have 3 copies of him and lost my first 50/50 to him

[hardy merlin]

[proper basin]

Convenience > security

[cyan pewter]

pulling because you like character > account team building

(my wuwa account is in shambles, i dont have best in slot team for anyone)

[sinful cobalt]

its fucking true xD

[hardy merlin]

People be saying that NFC and mic in smartwatch is so cool, so convenient
Coworkers ask me why I don't use my smartwatch
Like - what's wrong with my Casio?

[mellow garden]

For me it's the convenience of Apple Pay for transport without having to get my phone out

Also handy with the phone snatchers about in parts of London

[hardy merlin]

See?
And we don't really have phone snatchers in PL

[cyan pewter]

if i wanted to build teams id need phoebe, zhezhi, shorekeeper (carlotta is a want)
god damn thats a lot of premium units
phoebe and shorekeeper is needed for zani
zhezhi and shorekeeper is needed for jinhsi (tho cantarella can be subbed in for zhezhi)
carlotta and zhezhi and shorekeeper is the best in slot team

[spiral cloud]

Phone snatching is so dumb

[scarlet marlin]

i rather have this than a smart watch

[spiral cloud]

Like don’t be a bitch and rob someone fr

[hardy merlin]

Common Raquel based

[mellow garden]

Even without the phone snatching, it’s also just super convenient to tap my watch to pay.

[hardy merlin]

I dunno, I have cheap Samsung
I don't really see a reason to buy an expensive phone

[spiral cloud]

Switch to iPhone it’s life changing

[scarlet marlin]

[hardy merlin]

Naaah, I only watch YouTube on it, sometimes chat on Discord and play Balatro when I'm bored or on toilet
Don't really see a reason to pay more than 200€ for a phone

[spiral cloud]

It’s life changing

I wasn’t a believer at first

But I grew

I believe u can too

[scarlet marlin]

apple fanboys be like

[spiral cloud]

I wouldn’t lay a finger on any apple product other than AirPods and an iPhone

[hardy merlin]

But expensive
And I don't need anything Apple specific to be honest

[vapid lintel]

wat

[spiral cloud]

But

It’s life changing

[spiral cloud]

They shit too expensive

Wayyy too expensive

[mellow garden]

I disagree

[spiral cloud]

With what

[vapid lintel]

Apple is no longer outrageously expensive

[spiral cloud]

Yes they are

[mellow garden]

Sure, there's nothing in budget price tiers but equally the base spec MacBook Air is incredible value for money. IMHO.

[spiral cloud]

Their new phones are upwards of like 2k

In Australia at least

[mellow garden]

This is where knowing the country and currency is important.

In the UK, for example, it's all very well priced versus other products.

[hardy merlin]

3999zł for base iphone 16
Fuck off lol
The only thing they have somewhat affordable is mac mini, because M4 is amazing honestly

Actually for my next phone I'd rather get something like Kyocera 902KC or Mive Style Folder 2
Discord works, TOTP apps work, I don't need anything more

[spiral cloud]

Discord should not be a priority

[sinful cobalt]

im here with an iphone just to read mangas and use discord

[scarlet marlin]

the latest iphone vs the latest samsung are in the same price range here so. deff not the 'expensive brand' anymore. Its more like you need all the other apple stuff as well to get stuff to work nicely together which can pump the price. whereas other androids canjust interact with each other nicely

[hardy merlin]

Apart from calls and SMS that's all I use my phone for
Discord and TOTP

doom scrolling

[spiral cloud]

But like u paying 2k for features u will use once and forget abt as opposed to the iPhone 13 which is the same shit just without the useless features for 800

[scarlet marlin]

wish I could be like you, but I need to know whats popping on these apps

doom scrolling for work

[vapid lintel]

I have others who do that work for me

[scarlet marlin]

im others

[vapid lintel]

Y u no send me da me mes then?

[spiral cloud]

youre not team marketing :(

[trim rock]

The canned Titanfall game, code-named R7, was reportedly an extraction shooter set in the mech-meets-parkour franchise.
Well it probably wasn't the game you wanted anyway, but still sad

[orchid prism]

Yeah good riddance.

Titanfall without mechs? That ain't Titanfall. That's Apex with a new gamemode.

[digital dawn]

if titanfall 3 ever comes out its going to be called Apex Legends 2 and its going to be nothing like titanfall

yo i didnt know my stomach has a magic card

also not too hard to get

[small comet]

idk if i can still play nikki in the future

i was really excited for 1.5 release

but it feels like less than i expected from how hyped up it was and the download size

[scarlet marlin]

I havent tried it yet But everything together, the updates and events are so regular, which makes it fun to keep playing (at least to me)

[small comet]

same i had no issues with the events and stuff but 1.5 felt super hyped up to be this grand new thing and its basically just the start of a grand new thing and an event

and the 1 good dress (imo) which is the crimson feather one i already got and am 3 pieces away from having it fuly evolved thanks to the 200 or so pulls i had saved up from just playing the game daily the past few events

[scarlet marlin]

I feel like you always get every outfit crazy boi

[small comet]

na i didnt pull from the last 2.5 events

so 5 banners i put 0 pulls in

and im certain due to the new tiny map i can get enough free crystals to get the last 3 pieces in pulls

@grave granite I dug up an ancient video of me when I first got into aim training back in 2021 🥹

[outer pollen]

ordered my new playmat

[cold anvil]

What mouse do you use?

[cold anvil]

The art looks sick

[clear osprey]

superlight v2

was using the original superlight in that vid I think

[outer pollen]

It was either that one or the original art

[cold anvil]

I personally dont like the v2 from personal experience, I use a Lamzu Atlantis Mini 4k

[cold anvil]

They both look really good, I can see how it was a hard choice to make

[worn dome]

I have it but don’t record my gameplay 24/7

[bleak pike]

Shadow play is great

[vital wyvern]

yeah it's great.... but is vendor-locked

obs and buffer capture is the same but for everyone

and a little more configurability I guess if you care about that

[cyan pewter]

get medal, set it to record session and forget about. it ezpz

[worn dome]

I’m on amd

[worn dome]

Too lazy fr

Also was in my alt so idk if it counts

[hardy merlin]

Relive then

[maiden tulip]

There's literally a recording section in the amd software

[worn dome]

Yeah but I don’t record everytime I play

[maiden tulip]

You don't have ro...

[cyan pewter]

what does this have to do with anything

[worn dome]

wait is there a amd version of shadow play ._.

[worn dome]

I record even less on my alt

[maiden tulip]

Relive

Go in the record section...

[worn dome]

Sometimes if I wanna vod review I’ll record but on alts I never do

[cyan pewter]

medal auto starts recording when you set to record session

[worn dome]

Ohh

[worn dome]

I’ll get medal then

[maiden tulip]

Open amd software and go to the record tab

[bleak pike]

Don't use medal

Just use AMD relive and use the replay function

Unfortunately it becomes a bad habit and you end up with 400gb+ clips

Unless that's just me 👀

[sinful cobalt]

[worn dome]

I have an 14tb hdd we’re chilling

[digital dawn]

medal also takes way too many resources to run for no reason

[solemn grove]

I always delete the useless ones to avoid this

[grizzled quarry]

It sucks ass though

Just use obs with replay buffer

[little cape]

is there a recording software where hdr doesnt look terrible?

[grizzled quarry]

Amd clipping software only clips like 7/10 times and randomly just shuts itself off for 0 reason with 0 indication it's done so

Also doesn't allow you to record certain audio channels like obs, for example let's say you only want to clip game audio not discord or music etc you just can't

[digital dawn]

obs

[little cape]

@cyan pewter said he had issues recording with hdr unless they fixed it

[digital dawn]

by default obs doesnt work well with hdr content, but if you set it up properly it looks normal

[little cape]

i shall look into this ty

[grizzled quarry]

Idk what changed but I had to downgrade obs versions to clip on val

[digital dawn]

yeaaaaa

[grizzled quarry]

Something about obs was trying to hook into val and the anti cheat does NOT like it

[hot spire]

ive used obs to stream hdr, worked fine

sure it wasnt a encoder issue?

[digital dawn]

obs stopped working on val for most things, I was only able to use game capture to properly record it

which I mean, game capture is generally better anyways

[grizzled quarry]

I went to an older version and it's working fine now

[grizzled quarry]

Not even my game capture would work

[digital dawn]

but its strange because window capture was working before

[hot spire]

I just use pq2100 with hvec main10

[grizzled quarry]

Probably something obs changed with how it screen captures, and or something vanguard changed with how it interacts with window capturing

[digital dawn]

yeah

[grizzled quarry]

Overwatch did something similar at one point in time to try and stop people using obs to overlay cheats

But I don't think it did anything

[proper basin]

true

[grizzled quarry]

Unfortunately how it has to be for even a half decent anti cheat

[hot spire]

nah

you could have amazing serversize anticheat

it just takes resources to do

nothing more then what is already being sent

[nimble current]

people be like they still sell xboxes?

[iron oak]

Games are 80 dollars?

Are you fucking with me???
The cost of living has gone up exponentially yet pay has not increased.

[sinful cobalt]

who needs 3a games anyway

[nimble current]

I don't know where you've been for the past couple years but this is how things work now

we pay a lot more and get less

[iron oak]

This isn’t sustainable 80 dollar games plus DLC???

[iron oak]

I’m so tired boss

[sinful cobalt]

like completely fuck 3A games

[iron oak]

I actually am so done with it. The issue is everything else will go up because of this.

[sinful cobalt]

random indie games are plenty of fun

[nimble current]

the corpodystopia is real, and we are the pawns in their game

[iron oak]

I wish American government would get their shit together and try to do similar stuff the EU does

I’m tired of being stuck in the 20th century

[nimble current]

you gotta kick the corpobros out of government first

now they're deeper in there than ever

am not gonna argue eu governments and politicans are corruption free by any means, but there's a lot less of the corpo meddling going on

[iron oak]

Oh yeah definitely

Corruption exists everywhere

[nimble current]

the corpos aren't literally writing our laws

[iron oak]

Accountability just seems more prevalent within the EU

[nimble current]

americans like to go on about how their gdp is so much bigger and yeah its impressive, but 99.9999% of that wealth never touches the same people boasting about it

is it really the riccest country in the world if like 10-20 of the people owns basically everything

and people keep defending it because look at them numbas man they keep going up for the corpos so it gotta be good

anyways, $80+ games is where its at now if you want the mainstream stuff

[hardy merlin]

$80?

[nimble current]

with a plus

[hardy merlin]

Don't worry, we'll get our money's worth

It's just because of inflation

Greedy cunts

[sinful cobalt]

i feel like games just becoming destiny 2

if u dont buy dlc's u cant play anymore

[hardy merlin]

Where are Nintendo fans defending multibillion corporations when we need them

[nimble current]

basically been playing nothing but indie or smaller/lesser known studio games for almost a decade and I feel like I've gotten so much moneys worth

games costing $10-30 for most part and given me hundreds of hours gameplay

[sinful cobalt]

i would say u can buy 1 or 2, 3A game but most of the time its just dont worth it

like why do i still playing osu to this day, just like why

[hardy merlin]

Split Fiction was worth the price
Especially with the fact that you only need one copy for both people

[nimble current]

one of the very few triple A games I've played in more recent years that wasn't mostly irritation and regret was RDR2

I tried getting into stuff like destiny 2 or farcry and its like ehhhh

[sinful cobalt]

far cry games where good till the 5th game

[nimble current]

the games are cluttered as all hell and there's that greasy monetization creeping up everywhere

[sinful cobalt]

i mean its me, but if game publishers wanna increase the prices of the games they should do something about it to be even worth the price increase

[hardy merlin]

why

people will buy anyway

[sinful cobalt]

like 90% of the time the games that we get are half baked shit

[nimble current]

how about approaching game development from a "how do we make this our next great game" standpoint and not the "how do we make our next big revenue stream with gameplay"

[hardy merlin]

Because people are buying
And you can't even criticize them for it, because "it's my disposable income" or "why do you care"
Voting with wallets works, just people are hypocritical and don't do it themselves

[nimble current]

if you just make a great game, the revenue will come

but the industry is infected by so much private equity cancer these days like everything else

[sinful cobalt]

i mean why do i still games

[nimble current]

just hunting down anyone and everything doing anything innovating or fresh and kills it with market expectations

[hardy merlin]

Also with "only 10000 people online, dead game"

[sinful cobalt]

180k players in bongo cat

[nimble current]

everytime I see someone say dead game I imagine someone scrolling fortnite clips on tiktok with their mouth open

[sinful cobalt]

its just a fucking cat on the monitor

[vapid lintel]

Where Rimworld

[vapid lintel]

I don't need another one of these xD

[nimble current]

gamers "why do these companies keep peddling this low effort trash on us, do they think we're idiots?"
also gamers "haha banana game, haha bongo cat"

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[nimble current]

we deserve everything the industry does to us

[sinful cobalt]

i mean the banana game was a fucking nft shit

[small comet]

bongo is an info stealer we all know it

one day itll just update to steals everyones data

[pure bear]

thankfully

commander is part of what ruined magic

[outer pollen]

Thank you Nintendo!

[maiden tulip]

Everything else has went up... been to a grocery store in the last 5 years?

[nimble current]

as much as I loathe nintendo, this is just corporations being corporations

[iron oak]

I know

[nimble current]

someone else would have done it before nintendo eventually

[maiden tulip]

It's called inflation

[iron oak]

Yes I understand

[maiden tulip]

The last 5 years have been hyper inflationary

[iron oak]

This is just that trend is continuing

[maiden tulip]

Everything has risen in price, this was bound to happen

[nimble current]

influation is a part reason, but like its hard to ignore how the riccest corpos on the planet has been booming even further this decade while the rest of us has gotten skinned

[iron oak]

I know hobbies are getting expensive and escapism is no longer as accessible to get away from all the stressors going on

[nimble current]

covid basically annihilated small business in many western countries, particularly in the US

and now with trumps tariffs corpobros like amazon is swooping in for the leftovers

[maiden tulip]

I swear people seem to give more of a shit about stupid hobbies increasing

Rather than necessities

even if we blame inflation its largely the banks and big corpo gambling that's led to this inflated economy so there

[maiden tulip]

Like

You can just... buy a few less games

It's not like food lol

Where you fucking need it to live

Or shelter

[nimble current]

I mean the way things are going average joes should count themselves lucky if they can afford a hobby on top of surviving at all

and yeah as bleak as things look now, its probably still cheaper than ever to play more games than ever

[maiden tulip]

Technically it is

[nimble current]

I member being a pc gamer in the 90s where the pc you just spent a fortune on 3 years ago was now completely obsolete and dead in the water vs the hardware the newer games demanded

you can put together a machine with a decade old parts and still be able to run a lot of recent games

completely unthinkable until like the 2010s

[maiden tulip]

Game engines are a lot more scalable than before

And still manage to look ok even with lowered settings

Also... technically the best deal in gaming is gamepass by far even if you don't own the games

[nimble current]

back then you would sometimes need a cpu with specific features or a 3d accelerator card of a specific make/api or it would run like shit or not at all

[maiden tulip]

Its insane how many people just sub for a month occasionally

Or keep the sub all year long

[maiden tulip]

Hell you can just stream the game to a low powered device

[nimble current]

the pc industry was a wild fuckin west in the 90s

everyone just threw whatever weird shit at the wall and found out what stuck

with that kind of context its kinda weird to complain too much about the overall state of the pc market now, even if gpus cost and arm and a leg now yes

[maiden tulip]

Videogames are still one of the most cost efficient hobbies out there

In terms of $/hour of entertainement

[nimble current]

you can play so many cool games for very old and cheap parts if you really want to, that's the beauty with pc's

heck I used a 4790k up until 2 or so years ago

[maiden tulip]

People just feel like they need to upgrade all the damn time

When they really don't

[nimble current]

or think they gotta have that 4090

I mean yeah if we're looking at those kinds of hardware/prices then agreed gaming isn't worth it

[maiden tulip]

just buy an arc b580 for 350cad

It's good enough for most people

Or buy used

[nimble current]

but if I show off a midrange build on the internet I won't get the epeen points

[maiden tulip]

watch out you may have to set your settings to... medium or high

the horror

unplayable

[nimble current]

if you don't have a full glass case with a watercooled 4090 and enough rgb floodlighting to attract every insect within a 10 mile radius you're all out of fire emotes pal

[maiden tulip]

Also regarding the xbox increase

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/may-2025-pricing-updates

it's country specific

[outer pollen]

Nintendo just couldn’t wait for GTA 6 to come out and increase the price of games

[maiden tulip]

US has a way higher increase than everywhere else

[outer pollen]

They wanted to be the ones to do it

[maiden tulip]

Game increase was gonna happen regardless

So was hardware increase

[outer pollen]

Can’t wait to buy gta 6 for 90$

[proper basin]

Series x for 600usd

[bleak pike]

£499.99

[maiden tulip]

Reminder that your price includes a 20% sales tax

120gbp of sales tax

379gbp without tax

502usd

Vs 599.99usd in rhe us without tax

You still get the console for 75gbp/100usd cheaper

if you ain't happy with your sales tax blame your government :)

People seem to forget that very important fact

All the damn time

[iron oak]

@maiden tulip is Carney going to make things cheaper doing trade with China?

I see that being the case

[maiden tulip]

no idea

But doing trade with partners that aren't the US makes sense

[iron oak]

I’ve always wanted to spend time in canada

[sinful cobalt]

nice

[digital dawn]

W

[bleak pike]

Ok Mrs low sales tax

[maiden tulip]

[bleak pike]

US and Canada are finally getting a taste of Europe sales taxes

[maiden tulip]

My sales tax is still the same tho

Also its still cheaper in canada than in the us

So i dont get your point

[orchid prism]

We're getting price raises too you nimwit. 😄

[maiden tulip]

For canada its going from 649.99cad to 729.99cad for the X

Still cheaper than in the UK or the US

So literally your argument is stupid xD

commit make sense @bleak pike

[bleak pike]

I know

But in general with the whole shit show over there

[maiden tulip]

what are you on about

also how's it our fault what orange man is doing

?_?

stop being so poopybrained today

[barren pewter]

if only Florida orange got splatterbrained real good

It’s in no way Canada’s fault that Florida Orange is making things horrid for us, even if tbh, he’s gonna hit his own worse

I’m still going to blame Canada for poor policy that has made us incredibly vulnerable to US aggression

[crystal valley]
