Which is usually skins as well

What do you get?

Ok apparently it's just a shortcut for unlocks. Not buying it then

Normal must suffice

[sinful cobalt]

[hardy merlin]

[mellow garden]

Yeah, I fucking love $80 USD games on my reportedly overpriced Switch 2.

Sorry broke boys, no more gaming for you

[fierce bay]

I think I’m done opening sticker capsules today on cs2.

Got 500 more to open tomorrow 💀

[nimble current]

if the game cost more its clearly more fun

[outer pollen]

How goofy it looked if I'm being honest

[outer pollen]

Some challenges are sped up if you use specific weapons just a heads up

The less time I spend on 2042 the better

[compact oriole]

Hm I guess. I bought normal now. Can always buy the upgrade

[mellow garden]

Average WoW expansion pre-order bonuses

[orchid prism]

This is all very recent. No such thing as a three tier thing back in my day. You either bought the expansion, or you bought the collector's edition box.

[mellow garden]

They had the same tiers for The War Within

[orchid prism]

Back in MAH day, you got a pet, or maybe a mount as well. And that was that.

[mellow garden]

I believe before that the only higher tier was the digital/physical collector's edition

[small comet]

the good old days

[keen scaffold]

yeah we got Frosty in CE and thats about it :)

[mellow garden]

I have my old box copies somewhere

Vanilla + TBC Battle Chest, expansions up to WoD and Cata/MoP CEs

[orchid prism]

I still remember being asked to take a scissor to my Burning Crusade box, because Blizzard had forgotten to include the code for the pet and SNAIL MAIL IT to them to get my code. Thankfully I managed to convince them photos and my receipt was enough.

Lurky my precious companion.

[mellow garden]

They've been showing previews of player housing, it does look very good.

I might just.

But housing

I can even play early if I pre-order

No, no I don't

I want to fund Microsoft buying up the industry

Interesting system requirements for an MMO

40-Series recommended

WoW has been on Mac since day one

[hardy merlin]

GeForce 40 series AMD RDNA

[mellow garden]

Interesting formatting as well

Surprised they're still opting to support Windows 10 and the GTX 10-Series GPUs when they'll both be out of support once Midnight releases in 2026.

[small comet]

a game doesnt support a gpu

it just uses some amount of resources at the lowest settings

and apparently a 10series card has enough to run wow on low settings to what they deem acceptable

[mellow garden]

WoW does have an out-of-date driver check

The 10-Series will no longer receive driver updates as of this October (or is it next October)?

Even if it's next October, it won't receive driver updates for the entire duration of the expansion pack.

[small comet]

ok but i assume they have absolutely no reason to mark 10series cards as out of date

[hardy merlin]

Which you can ignore, so...

[orchid prism]

To think back in vanilla you could play this game with less than 256MB of RAM.

[mellow garden]

Nowadays I know several people that near exclusively play WoW with a 9800X3D and 5070 Ti

[sinful cobalt]

it was a fun 5 hours

[verbal nymph]

$50 increase, not tooo bad

considering it's prop going to be one of the thing that can run GTA 6

[mellow garden]

PS5 Pro will be the best way to play GTA VI

Until the PC release in 2077

[little cape]

ps5 pro is a scam

[mellow garden]

I disagree

[cold anvil]

Some people dont have the brainpower to operate a pc and should just stay on console

People bricking their pc’s because of battlefield was kinda funny 😭

[coarse plinth]

People were bricking their PCs because of secure boot? How does that work?

[little cape]

in the big 2025 anything is possible

[cold anvil]

Touching things they weren’t supposed to in bios

[coarse plinth]

Clearly! That whole controversy surprised me as I thought secure boot was enabled by default since circa 2012

[cold anvil]

Even so, don’t most bios’ have a search???

Mine does

[orchid prism]

It doesn't. Fucking up your OS is not "bricking" - that implies you can't fix it.,

[cold anvil]

Yeahhh

Might as well be to those who don’t know how to OPERATE their SYSTEM

[coarse plinth]

Ah right, that’s what had me confused, I didn’t realise it just busted up the boot manager

Guess that would cause issue on old installs of Win 10 or something

[orchid prism]

Over MY dead body.

[little cape]

bro booting without that secureness 🤯

[rotund adder]

Isint secure boot turned on from start

[orchid prism]

If you buy a prebuilt? Usually.

[small comet]

yes on basically any new MB or BIOS/UEFI update nowadays

at least for windows theres also no good reason to not use secureboot

[rotund adder]

I dosent have prebuilt

And it was already turned on

[small comet]

thats not a good reason not to use it

id also argue its definitely not security theatre and saying it is would be naive or just not informed

no?

maybe if you just use tpm

but secure boot together with actual full disk encryption that isnt tpm based can mean even if you hand your pc to someone they cant access data

its tied to TPM

well hardware could imply a yubikey or fingerprint scanner as well

which isnt the case

also full disk encryption itself isnt good enough as an attacker could just return a device to lost and found or whatever so you get it back at the end. then if they did insert smth in the bootchain you could leak your password if no secureboot is in the mix

so not security theatre. just sadly wildly underused

so i shouldnt protect myself against smth unless it has happened to me before

got it

guess back to using the same password on all my accounts

since no one stole an account of mine yet

and opening every exe sent to me

cause i havent been hacked yet

[rotund adder]

Wait secureboot is driver enceyption?

[small comet]

no

the idea is the same. you protect yourself before it happens

not after

and secure boot being heavily neglected doesnt mean its security theatre

same for people not using full disk encryption by default

theres a reason the saying "never say never" exists

imo a naive approach but you do you

with how governments seem to evolve atm i dont see government bootkits as all too hypothetical

the attack vector isnt they take it away

the vector is what east germany's stasi did... break in when no ones home, bug the place with whatever tech and leave so no one notices

yes this really is what happened. and if governments move in the same direction to want more control they can easily do it again

didnt need to be far in any shit back then either

just saying smth against the east german government one too many times was enough

also if theyd have signed bootkits the internet would be dead

[keen scaffold]

BASED

[small comet]

then why do you use he internet at alk if you believe that

lol sure

[cold anvil]

My small pokemon game collection

[compact oriole]

tfw you open bf2042 for the first time and a sens of 0 is still too high...

how can i set that the ads sens is identical to non ads..

thats an option in the finals. i dont see it in this game

ye but putting it to on and maxing it still is too slow

setting it to offf as well

had about the same issue in bf6 but there it was close enough

[mellow garden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVRK-bSdkjo

[compact oriole]

no matter if its 0 or 300 its all too slow

[coarse plinth]

Sweet!

[compact oriole]

doesnt match my normal non ads sens

bf bro. cant set my own sens i always use, so i lower dpi and then i cant set it to always have the same sens

guess ill put my non ads slightly higher so its my usual sense where it matters

[outer pollen]

Sorry bro I'm not a cheater

https://tenor.com/view/cat-no-nonono-noooo-cat-no-gif-13597132752790194338

[cold anvil]

Yeah :D

[compact oriole]

you bought bf2042 as well right? so apparently you need like lv 47 to do one of the challenges this week. you can afk xp farm in portal if you want

[outer pollen]

Yeah I'm doing the heli one lol

I already did all the other missions

[small comet]

be glad its the newer games

[cold anvil]

I would get legit copies of the ds games if they weren’t so expensive

[small comet]

i shall avert my eyes

[cold anvil]

Ok!

[small comet]

i just cant find a reasonably priced heart gold that i can verify is legit

in the EU cartridge

only got the NOE (means nintendo of europe but on DS/3DS games means german only)

technically no issue since i german just fine but i made my collection to be german for gen1 and 2 (as thats my literal childhood) and then english for everything up to ORAS (except BW/BW2/X/Y cause i got 0 connection to those)

and while i do have a firered in german CiB i have no real use for it and no one to really sell it to lol

[iron oak]

Pokemon black and white 1&2 is ridiculously priced if you can find one

[small comet]

well im glad i dont intend to ever get them

same for any of the switch games

i still want to get the gamecube ones but the prices of them are ridiculous

even for german copies

[small comet]

im mainly happy i got my collection mostly in order for pokemon and zelda and got all the stuff i care about

[maiden tulip]

Nice self destructing EU versions you got there

For omega ruby

[small comet]

they shouldnt self destruct

they arent actually in use so the soldering shouldnt just fail

[maiden tulip]

They will

[maiden tulip]

Lmao

[small comet]

thats not how materials work

room temp is quite constant

and humidity is as well

[maiden tulip]

Keep telling yourself that tony

[small comet]

idk how they would just break

i know later 3ds cartridges (in general) have shitty solder work apparently

[maiden tulip]

It's common with Pokemon Omega/Alpha

[small comet]

its common with any later 3ds cart production run

[maiden tulip]

Specifically the german version

They'll die from just not being used

It's not the same solder issue as other 3ds gamee

They die from literally sitting there

[small comet]

so theres 3 ways a cartridge game on the 3ds can die

1 is corrosion of the pins from humidity

[maiden tulip]

2- solder

[small comet]

2 is solder joints cracking from thermal expansion due to cartridge use and the heating up or environmental temp

[maiden tulip]

3- sitting there

[small comet]

and 3 is the rom bits degrading which goes for literally any storage media that uses chips

not just 1 production run

[maiden tulip]

ugh

It's well documented just look it up

[small comet]

bruv

ive lived through it

[maiden tulip]

There's a well known issue with german copies

[small comet]

i repaired my old alpha sapphire

all it needed was a solder touch up

and it has been since sold

there is no "it just breaks" besides bit degradation. bit degradation affects lirerally all roms and flash storage though

not to mention even if there was a magical way for german copies of omega ruby to just break out of thin air and for no determinable reason.... it wouldnt affect me... i dont own a german copy

[mellow garden]

Das ist gut!

[iron oak]

Has anyone played the new Mario kart

[small comet]

yes

[mellow garden]

Yes, it is very good.

[iron oak]

nooo!

[mellow garden]

Switch 2 is firmly real

I am holding one right now

[outer pollen]

2042 ain't too bad

[maiden tulip]

What do you say to people with persona q copies

Literally another perfect example

Literally you can use the serial number to find the good ones or the ones who fucking die

[outer pollen]

I got the special edition

[cold anvil]

If only the older pokemon games weren’t so overpriced even though they were mass produced and only sold at these expensive prices to take advantage of peoples nostalgia even though the value of these cartridges are only $40 max

[maiden tulip]

Rip

[small comet]

literally what i said... all of the later production runs of 3ds cartridges have soldering issues

i literally said that

[maiden tulip]

Nope

[cold anvil]

Mope

[maiden tulip]

You're wrong tony

[cold anvil]

Tony

[small comet]

i have seen US, IT, EUR, JP 3ds cartridges dead

its not a region specific thing or game specific

[maiden tulip]

You can literally tell what persona q carts are dying based on their serial number range

Atlus literally had a program where you could get a digital replacement

[small comet]

😮 almost like a production run was shit

[maiden tulip]

It is batch related

And game specific

I'm literally giving you an example

Also persona q is a 2014 game not a late 3ds gsme

Same for omega ruby alpha sapphire

And what's funny is if your stupid theory holds then why are we not seeing pokemon sun copies dying as much as alpha

[small comet]

an example of 2 games... 1 of which you claimed mainly german omega ruby after you said basically "hf with your timebomb" when i dont even have a german copy.

So i know that a lot of oras and persona copies are affected but i also know its basically all regions. i have heard murmors of other games as well

[maiden tulip]

And why are the alpha ones mostly german

[small comet]

almost like ive been soldering and fixing nintendo stuff for ages

including consoles AND cartridges

(rarely controllers dont ask me how those work no clue)

[maiden tulip]

wow so have i!

Mainly handhelds

[small comet]

and for me its mainly been handheld modding and gamecart repairs

broken traces, missing traces, missing components, broken SRAM modules (fudge you 3rd gen pokemon), swapping rom modules onto other PCBs and what not

[maiden tulip]

very impressive

[small comet]

i wish

i have a goal i prob wont ever reach

[maiden tulip]

you can enumerate things

[small comet]

if you wanna go that low... you can regurgitate google results for 3ds cartridge issues

since you gave 0 examples of people trying to fix the rom chip solder joints and it not working

[mellow garden]

When is the bit rot hitting PlayStation and Xbox discs en masse?

[maiden tulip]

It does happen xD

[small comet]

depends on storage condition

[small comet]

again show me evidence

i havent seen any in all these years

[small comet]

i think laser issues might be way sooner

especially looking at ps2/xbox kinda disk drives

[maiden tulip]

Because most people who still love the 3ds have then homebrewed

[small comet]

that just have the laser die

[maiden tulip]

I personally have all my games backed up onto my sd card

[small comet]

same i dumped all my cartridges

that doesnt prove anything you claimed

[maiden tulip]

You said you haven't seen these in the last few years

I'm telling you why

[small comet]

sounds like an out to me but ok

given the last big waves i know of complaints were like what 8 years ago

also i checked..... in over 6 yrs of owning my preowned copies... they still work. almost like they dont just destroy themselves from sitting around...

[compact oriole]

aight lemme install kovaaks

[rotund adder]

Which percentile are you talking

Yeah something like that

Oh that, i didnt look at that

I'am only comparing against reikuro score

[compact oriole]

https://i.imgur.com/2p5f49k.png this?

[rotund adder]

This one

So?

[compact oriole]

first try lol

kinda hard to do 180s on my sens. ill try a couple more for fun

ye, but i kinda do the same sens for every fps type thing. i know enthusiasts will shudder but i like it like that

[rotund adder]

I had 140fov

[compact oriole]

also the aim training is just for the target switch practice right? cz i feel like this one has little to do with actual aim

[rotund adder]

like that quake fov

[compact oriole]

tbh seeing the cheat crap i kinda wanna work on my flick and target acquiring

[clear osprey]

ts is the ultimate final flex

[rotund adder]

I technicly could get bigger score because i started to understand pill respawn pattern

[compact oriole]

well by putting time into it you could obv get a higher score

practice makes perfect

[rotund adder]

@clear osprey Can u show@tak.y0n my percentile?

Because he really wants to know

[compact oriole]

my first score was 11k so its probably gonna be close to that no?

[rotund adder]

Because i already uninstalled kovakk?

[compact oriole]

lol

[clear osprey]

are you serious

why did I spend 15 dollars on you bro

[compact oriole]

you bought him kovaaks???

[clear osprey]

I did

[compact oriole]

bro.. running defense for some random ass streamer has you spend money?

buy me the elite edition of bf2042 please

[clear osprey]

not sure why you associated it with riley, I was trying to tell him that it’s possible to TS

[rotund adder]

If you want, i can refund u

[compact oriole]

just cz he shared that 100% proof video and you guys argued a lot

[clear osprey]

I’d rather you just reinstall it and git gud

[compact oriole]

[rotund adder]

Well i could get 13k after 2hr grind

[compact oriole]

if he wanted to get gud hed have bought it himself

[clear osprey]

join the aimer community

[clear osprey]

nobody cares what you COULD DO, It’s what you DO

[rotund adder]

I dont need aim trainer to get good

[clear osprey]

you need to be humbled is what you need

[rotund adder]

Well, my entire aim is from playing counterstrike a lot

[clear osprey]

and?

I’m 99.8% on Target Switching 360

for reference

[rotund adder]

Well i can try later if u want

[clear osprey]

nah you would have been in the 90s with me, I finished rank 250ish you were 400ish

if I remember

there was the static 360 also which I think I scored higher for

[compact oriole]

i closed it already but 3rd try i went 12450 points

[clear osprey]

nice

[compact oriole]

you can improve by just playing normal fps but kovaaks is a shortcut because you 100'% concentrate on it

10 min of cs you play like 3 minutes. 10 min of kovaaks you play 10 minutes of aiming, no moving and nothing

no being dead and waiting, no running to the spot, no waiting for enemies, you just aim and aim and aim

[rotund adder]

Death match exist...

[clear osprey]

ya, it’s also hyper fixated on specific motions and mechanics that you will never get enough exposure to in a normal game

it’s like going to the gym vs playing a sport

[compact oriole]

its still not the same. i didnt believe it either until i tried

[rotund adder]

@clear osprey I was kidding i didnt uninstall kovakk

[clear osprey]

cheeky reinstall

I’ll let it pass

[rotund adder]

If you want, check my percentile

[small comet]

so do those aim games even have bullet drop or is it just hitskin and static targets

[compact oriole]

also a big difference is that you can play any kinda scenario to practice specific stuff. aim switching, tracking, tracking jumps, tracking below you while you fly around etc

[rotund adder]

I don't think so

[small comet]

well i was considering using one for practicing aim for smth like arma

especially longer range

[clear osprey]

here you go, my scores for 360 ts and 360 ts static

[compact oriole]

oh damn i did similar to the aimer

[small comet]

yeah thats why i was wondering if it has bullet drop and such

[clear osprey]

did you?

[small comet]

would have been nice to have a more "lightweight" game and engine

[compact oriole]

well i scored 12500k. isnt that close?

[clear osprey]

no not really unfortunately

[compact oriole]

[clear osprey]

not in the context of a kovaaks scenario

in a vacuum the score is totally fine, in comparison it’s a huge difference in speed

[compact oriole]

oh i only saw the median

[small comet]

i see

sad

[clear osprey]

99th

[small comet]

was kinda hoping i could make smth with more realistic distant enemy training

[compact oriole]

ye i didnt open the pics. i just saw the big median number in the preview

[small comet]

so running, walking, switching to ducking ducking and such

[clear osprey]

PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME!!

[rotund adder]

I mean you could create one your self

[small comet]

i wont lie

im no math genius to add bullet drop

[compact oriole]

wouldnt general aim improvement also apply to arma, even if it is a hyper sim and not hitscan?

these aim trainers also dont have recoil and you still hugely improve for the games you play

[rotund adder]

@clear osprey Well if you have me in friends, you could check my percentile dont u?

[clear osprey]

bro, just open the game, go to the scenario, and look at the leaderboard

[compact oriole]

i guess but you still improve a big part of what oyu need to hit people. even if its about estimating drop and lead on range, your good aim will still make a big difference

[small comet]

like closeup im not too worried in arma but i mainly hoped id have a lightweight competent engine to train/improve my guesstimations on longer range shots

[rotund adder]

Well arma fights are usually on 500m to 3000m

[small comet]

i mean first you gotta fiddle with the range finder for 20minutes

then you get to line up your shot

yep

[compact oriole]

man last time i played arma was arma 2. i wasnt of age back then

i only played a couple games of normal arma with my cod4 clan back in the day

[small comet]

you mean legitimate backup from the game you put into your basement collection

(and discord who for some reason like to play hot potato with their rules)

no kevin im not

[clear osprey]

sounds like something a fed would say

[small comet]

also id love if this was an airsoft fullmetal replica with shells....

what you said sounds like smth a fed would say who wants to avert the attention from them maybe being a fed

wait a minute.... that means waht @grave granite also would be smth a fed would say to divert attention away from them

Agreed, and recoil control is essentially a rapid application of target acquisition/switching in a compressed area

maybe i should listen

I need handcam and footage from the back of a mcdonald’s or else I don’t believe you

[worn dome]

like why do i even try

[worn dome]

ngl one thing i like more about cs then val is the fact you can change skins mid game and also gloves bro gloves

[cyan pewter]

how not to play valorant:
number 1 = rank reset day

[worn dome]

shit wasent even that bad that was the only bad game

[cyan pewter]

i won 14-12 ot 4v5

ezpz

just carry harder fr

[worn dome]

i am playing a 1.5vs 8.5

idk what im supposed to do

[pure bear]

win

[clear osprey]

allow me to introduce you to my little friend

[worn dome]

i have kovaaks

[clear osprey]

[worn dome]

but its a 5v5 game man

[clear osprey]

just 1v5

[worn dome]

1.5vs8.5*

[clear osprey]

think, in order to climb out of the rank that YOU are currently in, you need to be good enough to beat everyone else in the lobby

if you can’t, you’re where you deserve to be

how long it takes you and what circumstances allow or prevent that are nothing but semantics

[worn dome]

its taking everything inside me not to fall for the ragebait

[clear osprey]

I’m not fucking ragebaiting you

I’m giving you the stone cold truth

[worn dome]

yk radiants cant 1v9 golds with pistols right

[clear osprey]

they can certainly 1v5

[worn dome]

how do i 1v5 if my position is permantly broadcasted to the enemies

[clear osprey]

what you’re forgetting is the consistency and the rate at which a player is supposed to be able to do this

you will lose games

that is a given, it’s a non negotiable

[worn dome]

what im not fucking getting if this isent ragebait is how the fuck someone assumes im supposed to be able to 1v9 people of my own rank for 13 rounds at least?

or 1v5

[clear osprey]

when you sign up to solo queue, you are signing an agreement that states some games you will win for your team, some games your team will win for you, and some games you will lose no matter what

that is an absolute given

all YOU can do, is be consistent enough to move past that elo

[worn dome]

yk whats funny my duo left me then solo queued and then dropped from g3 to g1 lmao

unrelated but i thought that was funny

[clear osprey]

it would be naive to think that’s because they didn’t have you

they were clearly rage queuing

[worn dome]

you dont rage queue for 2 days straight

[clear osprey]

hahah yes you do

real

[worn dome]

idk if thats rage queuing thats more just self inflicted torture

which is what rage queuing is at its core ig

[clear osprey]

what’s the difference

[worn dome]

idk ive only ever rage queued for like a couple hours

[outer pollen]

What's that?

[worn dome]

i played 12 hours of valorant got from like plat one to plat 3 on my rank up and lost

[outer pollen]

Sometimes I'd launch a game of siege and the second I'd load in I would team kill and then close the game for the day

[spiral dagger]

i'm so washed
but its fun because I don't have an ego to protect

[clear osprey]

we all have an ego, maybe you just don’t associate the game with your self worth, which is good

[spiral dagger]

yeah

having wayyy less time to play games has made me realize that if I wanted to actually get good it's the same as practicing a sport
there's so many strategies and methods to get better faster
I don't have the interest or energy to do allat though

[compact oriole]

Isn't this kinda normal for games? The hope was that direct storage was gonna alleviate it. Tho it's usually not this egregious

(having a bunch of copies of textures so the game can always quickly access it)

[hot spire]

having more copies dosent help it be access faster

we arent using hard drives anymore, the random access of a modern ssd is fine

[mellow garden]

Well, there's always that one guy with a HDD that'll cry about it

[compact oriole]

Ye but thats still the reason there's multiple copies

[hot spire]

no its lazy dev

[mellow garden]

I feel like there's a lot of rather unnecessary shit PC devs do for random use cases.

Like those devs that insisted on making sure games still worked on a Phenom II even when it was sub-1% of gamers using that hardware.

Or random legacy fallback modes you can .ini edit to enable for all two poor people in Brazil or somewhere that doesn't exactly matter to the industry, economically speaking that is.

[hot spire]

also in order for it to matter they would need to have a proper streaming asset loader, which they arent using

[small comet]

with games being 100gb plus i can see how its faster cause id rather put those on HDDs than expensive massive SSDs lol

[compact oriole]

I don't own any hdds anymore. Sata ssds or even nvmes have gotten rather "cheap"

[hardy merlin]

But SSDs are dirt cheap now
And games would be lighter

[small comet]

id rather not spend 4-5times the money just to replace my 8tb hdd

[nimble current]

yeah ssds are still rather pricy as a mass storage option

[hardy merlin]

2TB for games, rest HDDs for movies and such

[nimble current]

1-4tb sizes for games and applications are pretty affordable

[compact oriole]

I bought a 5tb external for data like movies, shows etc.

[small comet]

i personally think a good 2tb nvme is already too expensive compared to 2tb hdd

[compact oriole]

So I can also bring em around

[small comet]

i personally just have 1tb for the os, 1tb for games and then a few TB in HDDs for games, movies and such

[compact oriole]

That's like saying a 5070 is too expensive compared to a 970. Sure it's true but there's also a huge diff

[small comet]

that comparison doesnt work my guy

[hardy merlin]

256 NVMe for OS, because IOPS matter there
2TB SATA SSD because games still won't max it
8TB HDD for data and stuff
Done

[nimble current]

smallest HDD I'd buy in this day and age would probably be a 4tb

[mellow garden]

4TB NVMe SSD for everything. Done.

[compact oriole]

It does. CZ you can also play games shitily with it. You don't need a 5070. Either way ssds I'd only get for game installs or if you work with big files in other ways

[nimble current]

I can't fit everything on 4tb

[compact oriole]

Not for simple data storage

[rotund adder]

Why 256gb when 1000gb nvme cheap

[small comet]

so you see.... the difference is when comparing a 2tb hdd and ssd in the context of games theres only 2 differences: speed and price. yes the ssd is faster but also almost double the price at 2TB. this just drifts further the bigger you go.

[hardy merlin]

SATA SSDs cheaper

[rotund adder]

Sata outdated

Maybe use ide

[nimble current]

sata still quick enough for most storage, unless you need to read/write huge files on the regular

[hardy merlin]

NVMe matters a lot for OS, because it does a tons of tiny operations, which is where NVMe excels
SATA is enough for most games, as only speed of transfer matters there, not I/O operations per second

[quiet vault]

people buy hdds in 2025?

[compact oriole]

Sure. They're making extra money on enthusiasts which are the only people that would ever buy storage above 2tb

[rotund adder]

Propably to stuff them into prebuilts. Pc with 5000 GB storage

[compact oriole]

Just like wooting makes money on enthusiasts that think the KB will improve their skills when it doesn't actually matter for 99% of users

[small comet]

enthusiasts dont think that but sure

its literally the uninformed that think that

[nimble current]

I mean, if you've tossed out your collection of music and movies/shows and likes being completely at the mercy of streaming services I guess you wouldn't see much reason for it

[hardy merlin]

Enthusiasts have NASes with SSDs and 10Gbps connection

[compact oriole]

Most enthusiasts aren't informed tho. The word doesn't imply you're savy

[rotund adder]

More like 25gbps

[compact oriole]

People see the awesome features and tech and buy the KB for the edge it can give you

[quiet vault]

how did u get a collection of those media on a harddrive 🧐

[small comet]

being an enthusiast literally implies you have knowledge and interest in a subject/topic

[compact oriole]

Meanwhile there's pros with 10€ lbs that came with their prebuilts making money on land lol

[compact oriole]

It only implies interest. And spending wooting prices on a KB implies said interest

Or premium gaming KB prices in general

[small comet]

no? you can be a sheep as well and just buy what your favoried influencer says

that doesnt imply anything

[compact oriole]

Ifyou pay this much money I argue your not a casual user

[quiet vault]

all wooting buyers are optimum sheeps 🤓

[compact oriole]

He never ended up doing an help video did he?

He80

Fucking autocorrect

[quiet vault]

dont think he liked the size

[compact oriole]

I remember there were issues in getting it to him so he couldn't do it at embargo lift. And then he never did one at all I think

[compact oriole]

Btw I mean enthusiast about the hobby you spend that amount of money on. Not in keyboards specifically

Bro buys a 250 KB 150 mouse and 80 mousepad, I wouldn't call that a casual user

[small comet]

i would. people spend more on having a new iphone just to belong to the group.

and i have seen people buy top end pc gear just to be part of a group

[quiet vault]

i mean lets not act like this is a lot of money for like the avg first world country adult

[compact oriole]

?? It is for most lol

[quiet vault]

still like the cheapest parts of a pc setup

[nimble current]

I don't really give a rats ass about competitive gaming but I still want my input devices to be as good as possible

at least to a reasonable extent

[small comet]

someone having a favorite tech/game influencer/pro and just buying what they use without informing themselves is nothing new. the price aint all too important either. what often matters is that person XYZ used it for a lot of people.

[keen scaffold]

Then there are some of us who just like a comfortable, good sounding and responsive keyboard (typing experience matters) :)

[small comet]

there is a reason sites like prosettings exist and list the gear

its literally so people can just go and buy whatever their favorite uses

[quiet vault]

i bought mine bc of tony

[compact oriole]

Ye.. because they're enthusiasts about the game..

An avg casual doesn't do that

[small comet]

doesnt mean they know shit about gear

[nimble current]

being able to set actuation/reset points, rapid trigger, adv keys functionality are qol features as much as a "competitive advantage"

[compact oriole]

I specifically said that that's not part of the definition of enthusiast

[small comet]

the point was you dont need to be an enthusiast in a space to spend fat stacks in it

[compact oriole]

If you care enough to do it, you kinda are in avg

Unless you're rich AF or straight up stupid but I'm obv talking about averages

If you go onto a site to find pro settings, you ain't a casual

If you do aim training, you ain't a casual

[small comet]

those 2 dont even compare

lol

you can be a casual and just watch a tournament about a game you heard

then look at what they use cause you didnt see it proper on stream

nothing uncasual about it

[compact oriole]

They imply high interest in your hobby, just like spending fat cash for a perceived advantage

[hot spire]

10gbps? we have been 25/40 for decade fam

50/100 is getting cheap now

[compact oriole]

Looking up, no
Spending 400+ on peripherals when you could spend 120 for all together to get 95% of the way there, I'd say yes

[small comet]

you wouldnt know that though

all youd see is the pro you saw play good uses this

and some people will prob just buy the stuff

and then get invested in the game

[hardy merlin]

I stay by copper
Sending data by light is a dark magic

[hot spire]

i had ssd cache on my nas in like 12/13 and that was 10gbps

[compact oriole]

Ye but who the fuck doesn't question if you need 400€ equipment if you're not enthusiastic about your hobby

[hot spire]

by 15 i had ssd array for some storage with bulk hdd behind it on 25g

[quiet vault]

hydraulic only for me, electricity scaryy

[hot spire]

dac cables have been the norm for a while

[compact oriole]

You're describing a scenario where someone who shouldn't even own q gaming PC watches report for the first time and wants to buy what a pro bought

[hot spire]

no reason for hobbiest to mess around with fiber other than lolz

sfp->10g base has been cheaper than fiber transivers for a while

[small comet]

i mean yes.

maybe they just follow the dream of becoming rich one day if they just become a pro

cause thats so easy right

[hot spire]

my only fiber is incoming

goes to the provider media converter

[compact oriole]

Ye and what would you call this kind of investment? I'd call it enthusiast tier

[hot spire]

and im using sfp dac 10g from that to my switch

[small comet]

id call it "often times misguided hopes"

[compact oriole]

CZ Casual Jimmy ain't dreaming if that

[hot spire]

then 10g dac to servers

my nas has 40g dac to swtich

[compact oriole]

Ofc. But they're still an enthusiast in the (future) hobby

[hot spire]

and main server lan has 40g to swtich

all copper

[quiet vault]

u not talking about a sound dac or

[nimble current]

never looked up any "pro" profiles or settings for wooting/analog switch kbs, just set it up how I thought it'd make sense for a given application/profile

[hot spire]

dac is direct attach cable

[quiet vault]

ohh

they gotta change that name

[compact oriole]

Same

[hot spire]

it bypasses the trasiver part of sfp

[small comet]

i honestly dont perceive a lot of it as any investment in a hobby but just "i could make money playing video games" and i honestly dont think it even matters what game. its just the money and propeskt of not working a "normal" job

[hot spire]

there is no media conversion

[quiet vault]

i only know digital analog converter

[hot spire]

it sends the raw sfp signal over coax/twinax

[nimble current]

but I noticed tenZ fps profile was pretty darn close to a lot of the values I chose

[hot spire]

well it has dac inside

[compact oriole]

Ye but would a random casual playing for fun think that and spend that kinda money stupidly

[hot spire]

but yeah they remove the need for any media conversion

lets you plug 2 sfp directly

cheap as chips

[nimble current]

but like its not that strange if you have a decent grasp of how the tech works, his values like mine are just ones that makes sense for the job

[compact oriole]

W/e. You get my point

[small comet]

possible. i wouldnt know i can just say i personally wouldnt.

but i also wouldnt make a tiktok, instagram or what not

[hot spire]

1m twinax sfp+ is like 10 bucks

[small comet]

and yet people make those as well

so

[hot spire]

same with 0.5m

all you need in a rack/server setup

[compact oriole]

Ye.. social media is a net negative, change my mind

[quiet vault]

pls buy my gear cuz im best gamer

[small comet]

sort of my entire point

[hot spire]

you can get qsfp for 20 bucks

and do 40g

[small comet]

you dont need to be an enthusiast for anything if you got brainrotted into sheeping behind some famous person

[hot spire]

grab used nics and swtiches

[quiet vault]

i would be bored af without it

[hot spire]

mine has 4 40g and 24 10g sfp

[small comet]

and the fact that younger and younger people get access to the net makes this even worse

[quiet vault]

no discord or youtube 😿

[hot spire]

i just use dac cables and a few sfp+>10gbase

[compact oriole]

I still think acting on that and spending high amounts of money makes you an enthusiast. I didn't need a multi k € PC. But I wanted it. I didn't need 1k+ peripherals, sound and mic. I'm by no means a casual gamer

[quiet vault]

im a casual that likes spending moneyy

[small comet]

ok but did you want it because you read up on it or did you want it cause person XYZ uses it or someone just told you to get it

its 2 different scenarios

one is an enthusiast wanting it after researching smth they are invested in

one is someone blindly following stuff

[hardy merlin]

Am casual gamer

[hot spire]

i mean enthusuast is how interested you are, not how much money

[nimble current]

I would regard myself as semi casual gamer, I can play at a relatively high level compared with the average pleb if I want to, but I don't do any pvp anymore nor have I ever considered "training" certain aspects of my playstyle

[hot spire]

you can get everything for free and be a top 1% enthusiast

[hardy merlin]

yeah, pvp sucks

[small comet]

exactly my point

[hot spire]

tons of pro gamers started poor and played with shit pcs and accessories

i always joke the ms intelliamouse has pro useage than any other model XD

[nimble current]

me starting out in the 90s with a ball mouse and a membrane keyboard

[hot spire]

the freebie dell mouse and keyboard has more frags than any brand

[small comet]

an enthusiast knows themselves what they want to buy or not based on them just knowing what hardware/software and whatnot does exactly what they need

[hot spire]

which is always why linus is right that the 5050 is the most important gpu releasse of this gen nvidia

as it will be the most sold

1080ti may have been an amazing release

[nimble current]

back then most others had kinda crap setups too because there were no gamer gear

[hot spire]

but the 1050ti and 1060 sold it 20:1 prob

[nimble current]

nowadays its kinda crazy how much tangible advantage you can buy

[hot spire]

#1 gpus on steam are 60s and 50s

[nimble current]

if you have the know-how to use it that is

[hot spire]

the 1050ti still beats any 80s card on steam pretty sure

[hot spire]

nah a pro gamer with oem mouse and kb, 60hz lcd and a 50 gpu will still be a pro

[compact oriole]

I guess to me spending the money if someone with (below) avg income implies strong interest=enthusiasm.

[novel umbra]

You can be an enthusiast without spending money

[small comet]

yeah i personally wouldnt make enthusiams out to spent money

[compact oriole]

Ofc but this convo was specifically about spending on a hobby

[quiet vault]

Yep just steal stuff

[small comet]

more how much they research before spending money and if they are actually invested and knowledgeable

[nimble current]

naturally, but he'd probably be a couple % better still with an all sweatlord setup

[novel umbra]

Yes but enthusiasm and spending money are separate things

[nimble current]

and the sweats do care about those few percents

those that think they must have it aren't actual pros though

[compact oriole]

Enthusiast definition: a person who is very interested in a particular activity or subject.

Imo spending a lot of cash implies high interest in the subject or hobby

[small comet]

im not a tax enthusiast let me tell you

and yet i spend hundreds on that monthly

same for housing really

[buoyant osprey]

There are lots of people just looking up «Best (thing) Reddit» and buy the most expensive option of anything even if they know nothing about it because they expect it to be good/worth it

[compact oriole]

ok but that's not a choice to spend it

[nimble current]

I basically got a fast enough pc to play most games I like and want to play, hardware has gotten so ridiculously expensive that gaming as a hobby/entertainment isn't worth the price of admission for top shelf parts

[quiet vault]

i can show you how to spend less if u pay me 500€ a month

[small comet]

so? still fits your definition.

[compact oriole]

Ye but they'd spend it cuz they're enthusiastic about what they wanna use it for

[small comet]

its why i wouldnt put any spending into enthusiast or not

[compact oriole]

No because it was about spending out of interest not just spending

[small comet]

because it doesnt really matter for being enthusaistic and spending money doesnt imply it

[buoyant osprey]

I feel like that's being a consumer, not enthusiast imo

If I buy the Wooting then that does not make me an enthusiast

I don't give a shit about the keyboard hobby

I just want a good keyboard

[compact oriole]

No but about gaming

[small comet]

so being any game enthusiast means i automatically should spend on ym gear what enthusiasts for those hobbies spend on it?

like monitors, desks, chairs, mice, keyboards

see i dont think you can just stretch someone whos an enthusiast into other hobbies tangentially related

[compact oriole]

No it means you're willing to

Doesn't mean you do sutomatically

[small comet]

ok lets do this then: someone buys an expensive wifi router and networking stuff. all they did was google "best router and networking equipment 2025".

Are they an enthusiast and about what?

[hardy merlin]

They are suckers
Best is router and AP separate

[compact oriole]

Enthusiastic enough to research it and spend the money

[small comet]

wrong answer

they are fed up cause AT&T hasnt fixed shit for a year and they just want stuff to work

0 interest

[compact oriole]

Bro gives me shitty examples without context and then acts like it's a gotcha

[small comet]

you said spending lots of money implies enthusiasm

it just doesnt

otherwise the scenario was perfect. lots of money spent and you were informed on what the money was spent on

this is why it doesnt make sense that spending money implies enthusiasm

[small comet]

also thanks to soria that i got reminded people dont even need to go to prosettings but just google "best whatever YEAR" and usually buy smth in the top 3 from one of the first few results.

[compact oriole]

I said multiple times that it's prefaced on the interest

[buoyant osprey]

Many do this for things they otherwise have no interest in. I do it too, that's how I found this place. I am not a keyboard enthusiast. I just wanted a good keyboard

[compact oriole]

W/e doesn't matter. Enough about the subject

The Wooting 60HE v2 module should be compatible with the ow60 case right?

[hot spire]

fam they had 520k peak first week. cods all time peak on steam is 490k

[grizzled quarry]

I only had to wait 3 minutes for a 27k queue lol

[hot spire]

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah but cods majority is console as well

• they have br (free to play)

Cods all time peak prob still higher than bf6 beta

[quiet vault]

And I'm disappointed
So much AI-generated images and 30 frames of render that barely change

[quiet vault]

ai has taken over everything

[hardy merlin]

Also that for some reason

[rotund adder]

Why pay someone if ai can make everything for u

[quiet vault]

they think they rivals

[hardy merlin]

Why pay if there are ways to get stuff for free

[quiet vault]

[hardy merlin]

[quiet vault]

Battlefield 6 - Community Update - Open Beta Debrief

X · Aug 21, 2025, 3:00 PM

man EA actually working on their game with feedback

what is this timeline

[hardy merlin]

We are investigating the Time-to-Kill and Time-to-Death experiences
Gamers when TTK is not one-shot:

We observed some players finding a way to reach rooftops and venture out of bounds. This gameplay is not intended for these maps
Ah, bummer

[outer pollen]

@clear osprey O

That was you right?

[hardy merlin]

Is 2042 good?

[outer pollen]

It's interesting I'm having fun not gonna lie

[grizzled quarry]

They have been watching cods downfall and learned something perhaps?

[sinful cobalt]

its a fun game

[outer pollen]

Don't play the 64 vs 64 though

It's a mess

[hardy merlin]

I'll buy it, finish work for today and play some

[grizzled quarry]

Mayne thst means apex will become decent again 👀

One can hope

[trim rock]

As if

[hardy merlin]

Apex is simple to fix
Bring it back how it was in Season 20
Done

[compact oriole]

downfall? cod has consistently been the most sold game in the US for the past 15 years with only few exceptions

[grizzled quarry]

Season 20 was awful what😭

[grizzled quarry]

That doesnt mean the games haven't become absolutely awful

[hardy merlin]

S19*
In S20 they removed Duos
In S21 they added Alter and new currencies

[compact oriole]

ye but its not a downfall if they still print money

[grizzled quarry]

Just give us s15 back

[sinful cobalt]

tbh that 7.5 million defib kills are goated

[grizzled quarry]

When your entire community does nothing but hate on the game you make id say its a downfall

[hardy merlin]

Eclipse is mid tho
S17, Ballistic

[compact oriole]

entire community? you mean a couple people on reddit where like 0.1% of the community are?

[grizzled quarry]

A couple people on reddit?

[compact oriole]

compared to the actual number of players, yes

[grizzled quarry]

I haven't talked to a single person online who has anything good to say about cod

[sinful cobalt]

a lot of players are mad about cod

[compact oriole]

ye.. the people who care to talk about it on socials.. most people do not do that. they just play the game. i agree cod is a piece of shit franchise but the number speak for themselves

[grizzled quarry]

The continual drop of players?

[nimble current]

yeah the people who has enough spare time to bicker on forums but somehow still chooses to play cod

[grizzled quarry]

Indeed they do speak for themselves

[compact oriole]

if you read socials about wow and cod youd think the games are dead and then you see sales/sub numbers and theyre still the biggest in their genre and its not even close

[sinful cobalt]

the most Stable cod was Modern Warfare 23

[grizzled quarry]

Mw2019 my beloved 😔

[compact oriole]

a loud minority is still a loud minority

[nimble current]

cod is basically the fifa of shooters, the vast majority who buys it are plebs

[compact oriole]

ye mw2019 was the only cod i actually enjoyed after the og codmw in 2007

[grizzled quarry]

2019 will likely be the last good cod

[compact oriole]

ye until they remake mw again in 3 years

[hardy merlin]

MW2007 my beloved

[grizzled quarry]

Prob gonna be shit tho

[grizzled quarry]

They won't go back to what made mw2019 good they will just reuse the current shitty formula

More aim assist, more skins, same guns re used

[sinful cobalt]

i hope for next Sledgehammer studio game
