[unkempt lake]

Oh no not seg

[fathom venture]

[dull hollow]

[unkempt lake]

me when someone mentions seg

[fathom venture]

Yea

Crazy

[unkempt lake]

GUYS IS A 4070 BETTER THAN A 7900GRE

[fathom venture]

Didn’t he settle for the 9800x3d as well

[fathom venture]

lol

[balmy vector]

B580 best

[unkempt lake]

it was a joke... cuz the guy kept asking that

[fathom venture]

Oh wait he actually did dm me

[wispy rover]

oh

[unkempt lake]

same

[fathom venture]

Asking about 4070tis

[unkempt lake]

He dmed everyone

lol

[wispy rover]

TIS WHERE

[fathom venture]

He got it I think

[steady sail]

im just happy with this

[fathom venture]

Doesn’t the 7600x have the same performance as the 5800x3d?

[steady sail]

im not spending money on am5

[fathom venture]

I don’t really understand why’s everyone going for the 9800x3d which is literally the top of the line cpu

[steady sail]

bc everyone has it for esport games

[dull hollow]

https://www.techspot.com/review/2592-ryzen-5800x3D-vs-ryzen-7600x/

[unkempt lake]

people who play at low res

[fathom venture]

Huh

9800x3d for 1080p?

Yea nah I’m good

[unkempt lake]

xd

i like my pixels

[fathom venture]

That’s genuinely crazy lol

You play on 1080p?

[unkempt lake]

no

[steady sail]

dude ppl buying 5090's just to play on 1080p

[unkempt lake]

5120x1440

[fathom venture]

I don’t think so(I’m definitely not getting one)

[dull hollow]

so youre rich

[fathom venture]

Nah

[dull hollow]

is what im getting from this

[fathom venture]

No

[unkempt lake]

i ran my old 9700k with my 7900xtx for like a year after getting it because most games still ran fine on an older cpu

[fathom venture]

I’m robbing one

[unkempt lake]

at this high of a res

[fathom venture]

I mean honestly you don’t really need a super high end cpu anyways, and that’s what I have been saying, 7700x works PERFECTLY FINE

[unkempt lake]

i ended up upgrading at some point when i saw a good deal but i took my sweet ass time with it

[unkempt lake]

agreed

unless you play at some super low res

or some crap

[somber coral]

then why you tell me 9800x3d

[fathom venture]

And no I said you not to get the 7800x3d

[unkempt lake]

thought he'd want to play at a nice resolution

[somber coral]

1440p

[unkempt lake]

does he play poopy esports

[fathom venture]

lol

Nah doesn’t matter

[unkempt lake]

and i said push it because you're already overspending

[fathom venture]

Would still say 7700x

[somber coral]

i am?

[unkempt lake]

either go with a 7700 in a bundle or get a 9800x3d

the 7800x3d is just... not worth it for that price

[fathom venture]

Btw you need to find deals yk the ones on part picker isn’t the actual price

[steady sail]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/cZRN9C

[unkempt lake]

there's some nice bundles indeed

[fathom venture]

I said the same

[somber coral]

alr

[fathom venture]

Might as well get the 9800 for like 80 more

[somber coral]

ok gotcha

[unkempt lake]

i paid 450$cad for my 7800x3d fyi @somber coral brand new

[fathom venture]

But eh idk what your brothers gonna do bro

[unkempt lake]

do you get why im telling you its a bad price

[somber coral]

:0

[fathom venture]

What the fuck????????

[unkempt lake]

typo but yeah

and that was befoiretaxes xd

[fathom venture]

How much is that in usd

[somber coral]

300 ISH

[unkempt lake]

sorry my brain is malfunctionning

i meant before

[steady sail]

i payed like 300ish euro for my 58x3d

[fathom venture]

Bro got scammed

[unkempt lake]

324usd

was like

june 2024

[fathom venture]

It’s like 400 for me

9800x3d is around 500

[unkempt lake]

brb gonna go grab an energydrink

i need some fucking caffeine

[unkempt lake]

bundle is pretty good

also the tuf b650 is a nice board

im not an asus fan but its a nice board

[somber coral]

i should just get the cheaper board right

[fathom venture]

Could go 9700x actually

[unkempt lake]

YE

[somber coral]

no bundle

[fathom venture]

Honestly why not just get the 9600x

[unkempt lake]

iirc i saw a 9600x bundle recently at canada computers

[fathom venture]

All in all will be like 30 more bucks bro

[unkempt lake]

forgot the price

[fathom venture]

Good enough

Well depends on your brothers preference now(the motherboard)

But I’m pretty sure you don’t need 64 gigs of ram, that’s too much

If you really want over 40 why not go 24x2

[steady sail]

just for this whole setup 850$ xD

[fathom venture]

He wants 64 gigs bro

[steady sail]

he not me xD

thats just a 2x16gb kit

[fathom venture]

Oh nvm mb

[distant tapir]

Gpus...

[steady sail]

yeah im gonna be happy on the 58x3d for a few more years

[fathom venture]

That’s a great cpu

[steady sail]

yeah for 300$ im more than happy xD

[fossil magnet]

does any1 here know how to set up macros with keyboard

[fathom venture]

For 300$ you could get better cpus rn but yeah on the am4 platform 5800x3d is the best

[steady sail]

i bought it when am5 was pretty new

so at that time even the 7600x was 350$

[fathom venture]

Oh

That’s fair

[steady sail]

and overall am5 was new soo it was expensive

[fathom venture]

True but again, I would just wait for a while then

[steady sail]

and i had a 2600x

[fathom venture]

Nvm

[dull hollow]

i went 3700x + 2070 super -> 7700x + 9070 xt

[fathom venture]

Honestly the difference between 7600x and 9600x in terms of performance isn’t much but 9600x is newer so I think that should be a better choice

[fathom venture]

That’s actually a significant upgrade but you could go for the 9700x instead tbf

Almost the same price

[dull hollow]

wasnt out yet

[fathom venture]

Ah makes sense

[steady sail]

nah am5 is still expensive as heck xD

[fathom venture]

Not really tho

[somber coral]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/crDCqH OK wait so this build but with this combo is actually good right

[steady sail]

im living in Hungary here am5 is expensive

[steady sail]

u could go with the 9700x

that 4$ doesnt change anything that much

[plush stirrup]

What are prices there?

[fathom venture]

Leave all that why is this stupid looking mouse 150$

[steady sail]

7600x is still 230$
9600x is 250$

[somber coral]

canada

is it not supposed to be?

[somber coral]

no combo

i mean ig newegg?

[plush stirrup]

245usd for 7600x in Belgium, so seems to be normal price in Europe I guess

[fathom venture]

9700x should be better

[dull hollow]

this guy is using an office mouse for gaming????

[fathom venture]

Or actually go 7600x

[somber coral]

yes

[fathom venture]

That’s what I’m saying lol

[dull hollow]

dodge list +1

[fathom venture]

And it’s like 100 bucks asw

[steady sail]

9700x is 350$
7700x is 320$

[fathom venture]

What the fuck I would rather get op1 8k/scyrox/ viper v3 pro

So many options and bro chose a 100$ office mouse

[somber coral]

combo is 9600x

[somber coral]

he likes heavy mouse with a metal scroll wheel

[fathom venture]

Works as well

[somber coral]

dude he just likes the mx master 3s whats wrong wtih that

[steady sail]

yeah and its gonna be shit xD

[fathom venture]

Eh it’s bad

[plush stirrup]

it's comfortable for office use, 3 profiles to connect to 3 different devices iirc

but not meant for gaming 😢

[fathom venture]

He will be using it for gaming

[somber coral]

why are yall judging him he likes the shape and weight of it

shape is king no? he finds it comfortable

[fathom venture]

I don’t think anybody’s judging

They’re just saying it’s a bad mouse

[steady sail]

its not a bad mouse but its not meant for gaming

[fathom venture]

And people who say they like heavy mouses never tried the lighter ones(I’m talking abt gaming only)

[steady sail]

i love heavy mouse as well LUL

[fathom venture]

If we’re talking about pure comfort I would take the g502 instead

[steady sail]

but i use a X2H mini

[somber coral]

he has, i gave him my pulsefire haste to try and he hated it

lighter then the gpx btw

[steady sail]

my previous mouse was 130g xD

[fathom venture]

Yea idk

Does he not play shooter games?

Ok nvm you guys are literally silvers😭

[plush stirrup]

my current mouse is 75g, though I use very high dpi so weight doesn't impact that much xD

[steady sail]

i play for fun not for ranks

[somber coral]

mainly pve

[cosmic violet]

Anyone know if a wooting with friction fit pad would fit in a Baionlenja obj.1 o-ring mount case?

[steady sail]

like i dont care if im silver or bronze

[fathom venture]

that’s not how it works tho

Dpi is a whole different thing

75 is aight actually

[plush stirrup]

high sensitivity, edpi, whatever you want to call it 😛

[fathom venture]

But after using 50g mouses anything over 60 feels like a brick now

[dull hollow]

im using 40 rn and the g502 feel like a brick xd

[somber coral]

im gonna go buy a wlmouse today

[fathom venture]

Effective dpi also doesn’t change much tbh

[steady sail]

perfectly happy

[somber coral]

-20g from my current mouse

[fathom venture]

G502 is a brick tho

[dull hollow]

gpxs also is a significant difference over 40g

[plush stirrup]

means I need to move it less far xD

[fathom venture]

Never had one but yea that’s a good mouse

[fathom venture]

How heavy is you’re mouse Tf

[dull hollow]

dont you already have one

[fathom venture]

40g difference?

[dull hollow]

oh thats not what i meant lol

like 20g difference between gpx and current mouse which is 40g

i couldve worded that better

[fathom venture]

Oh

Yea gpx is quite heavy

[dull hollow]

what in the dbrand is this (wlmouse home page)

[fathom venture]

Isn’t that wlmouse?

[dull hollow]

yes

[fathom venture]

Yea

[reef patrol]

Pre-rusted mice.

[dull hollow]

yummy, extra protein

[fathom venture]

Honestly I don’t like my mouse looking like that

[dull hollow]

i like solid-shell mice

[fathom venture]

But the beastx is a great mouse

[dull hollow]

the bottom, i dont care much for

[fathom venture]

Same and should be made of high grade plastic and have matte finish

[fathom venture]

I honestly can’t be bothered to change skates but yea viper v3 pro has amazing skates, I genuinely don’t remember using a mouse with such good stock skates before

[dull hollow]

current mouse- exactly that, all for $90. it uses the pcb to prevent flex and i dont hear any creaking

[steady sail]

My fav :3

[dull hollow]

these skates are pretty good but im comparing it to the ones on a gpxs which isnt exactly the hardest thing to beat

ill soon get obsidian air dot skates for a glass pad coming in the next week or 2

[somber coral]

nah pulsefire haste rn

[fathom venture]

I still remember when everyone used to get the g502/deathadder mouses

[dull hollow]

whyd you ask me how much a beast x sells for

[fathom venture]

Heavy was meta before

[somber coral]

yes

[dull hollow]

im used to saying qp for mr

[somber coral]

man i was oping witha 50% headshot rate :(

[fathom venture]

Isn’t silver like elo hell?

Not sure

[somber coral]

smurf in every other game

[fathom venture]

Honestly getting out of silver ain’t hard

[somber coral]

i have 3 alts thats all hardstuck silver man

[fathom venture]

You’re just bad

I can give you my drills which I do before comp

It’s not that hard

[dull hollow]

3 accounts stuck in silver is a masterclass

[somber coral]

are you sure

[fathom venture]

And also remember I don’t use any util it’s all aim

[somber coral]

hs aint everything but if i have a 45% headshot rate idk if thats my aim

[fathom venture]

I just take reyna

[somber coral]

other acc

[fathom venture]

Yea

If you deserved anything over silver you’d probably be there ngl

[ashen spindle]

game talk is one channel down the list

[fathom venture]

Gotcha

[somber coral]

bro saw me mvp/team mvp 4/5 games and said im the problem

[fathom venture]

Just pull up game chat

I’ll explain

Or else they might actually beat us up

[somber coral]

ok

[inner zinc]

how bad are the prices for pcs and monitors after tariffs

[ashen spindle]

Hi guys, I have this problem, the keyboard turned off when I updated it and it doesn't turn on

[bright briar]

what mouse is that?

anyone here dealt with msi support before?

[normal basalt]

Man it sucks it says I can’t contact support because my IP or something was used for bad things

Something along those lines which is dumb cause I literally never done anything with MSI or any other company

[somber coral]

This look real yall?

Also ping me when respond pls

[bright briar]

is that the beast x pro?

[somber coral]

Max

[bright briar]

does it come with cat dongle?

[somber coral]

With grip tape

[bright briar]

nice mouse but no cat dongle

[bright briar]

let us know how it feels🔥

[somber coral]

Ts better be real

I’m at rehearsal for the next 2.25 hours il let you know

[unkempt lake]

I have

It was good they replaced my out of warranty by 2 months mobo for free

Just had to pay shipping

[unkempt lake]

vpn?

[real pewter]

I’ll pay someone 100 aud to fix my wooting

[plush stirrup]

send them an email? Mobile data, etc maybe you're on CGNAT (1 IP shared by many) and got very unlucky

If your region doesn't have a specific email just mail another one, my region has one, and they responded from Poland instead 😛 you'll likely end up at the same people anyways

[somber coral]

Massive

Is the right one also grip tape that beast X provides?

Or bottom one ig, they remind me of supegrips

Jade air

Man I thought they were suprgrips

Now I gotta pay 30$ for some

[dull hollow]

now its my turn

[somber coral]

Please don’t

Super grips better

I can use any usb c cable with this right

Wait so I just plug both the 8k dongle and the normal dongle? Or just 8k

He didn’t give me the cable

Imma ask him for it if he says no Imma ask for 5$

Too much grease on stabs? Or maybe you put them in wrong

Can I see some pictures

[dull hollow]

stabs are probably mounted wrong way

[somber coral]

Would still come up no?

[rain cove]

i didn’t add any grease, i just disassembled it and im putting it back rn

[somber coral]

Where yo stabs at

Also are they facing the right direction

damn the wlmouse software is bad

the web software is like 5x better

i need the original cable to update firmware right?

[somber coral]

huh i mustve read wrong

still dude its SO good like wow

makes my aim much smoother and more precise ngl

best 80$ ive ever spent

[balmy vector]

[somber coral]

nno youre gonna save for another oled

Nah 1s all i need

[somber coral]

buy bigscreen vr trust

Pulsar x2h mini

[leaden kiln]

nice of them to do this

[balmy vector]

A real soldier

[severe phoenix]

I mean...

It was just announced that electronics would be exempt from the new terrorists, so they're not really absorbing much

Tarrifs*

[leaden kiln]

oh really
i saw pimax announced youll have to pay $95 extra

[ashen spindle]

By the time a company decided how to handle the tarrifs they changed again lol

[dull hollow]

[coral girder]

I finally snagged a new 5080 for only 50$ above msrp 🥳 off facebook marketplace

[balmy vector]

Funny, was scrolling and saw one for 1600 and i scoffed

[coral girder]

my build is finally complete after waiting 3 months

[balmy vector]

Im aiming for those quest 3 deals

Gotta get better at beat saber to do expert+ ghost

[ashen spindle]

too bad lens tech is probably even harder than display tech xD

soon we'll have lenses for vr made by zeiss that are more difficult than ASML needs them for their euv machines

[balmy vector]

Perfection

[ashen spindle]

I mean, get an old Rift, I still think the og rift controllers are like cheating and by far the best ones for fast slices xD

[balmy vector]

Nah its not the fast slicing that’s the issue

I need better stamina so i gotta keep at it

[ashen spindle]

well they are also light xD

but yeah relatable haha

[balmy vector]

Definitely the more fun kind of workout

[ashen spindle]

need more stamina to get my top100 ranking on some of the official ex+ ones back

only issue I still have is wireless issues

its running on a seperate 6ghz band on my 6E router but theres still lags sometimes but cable is just so much more annoying

the quest doesnt do wifi7 xD

but yeah its one of the issues where its just impossible to diagnose, could be encoding hangs because the game on pc doesnt have the lags, or the quest, or the wifi

[balmy vector]

It’s me

I’m eating the connection

there is 2 60he xd

[wheat plume]

bottom left I think?

[steady sail]

yeah

[wheat plume]

Ayoooo
That's cool

I just noticed the UwU too :O

It's on the Framework Desktop product page

People might see the boards are wonder what they are
Or see the UwU and wonder wtf such a cute little device could be

[ashen spindle]

I would indeed tend to agree, if someons on a product page for a laptop/desktop they see that image and go like "mhm yes that person is using a keyboard on their pc indeed"

[steady sail]

and i just noticed the framework pc

[ashen spindle]

yeah without context thats hard to see but if you are on the framework page I assume you expect to see it xD

[vapid ruin]

Didn't realized the second wooting until I saw the strap on the right most person

Left more keeb I only know it's woot because of the cable, the yellow and black. Uwu went past my eyes until somebody mentioned it.

[pale sigil]

Still pretty cool tho

That room going to be hot af

[plush stirrup]

What about index controllers?

[plush stirrup]

Virtualdesktop shows you the latency per part, network, game, encoding, decoding iirc

[ashen spindle]

yeah I use steamlink so you see that as well and its a spike but that doesnt say where the spike comes from

index controllers are okay but wouldnt say they are the best

[keen steppe]

My pc started a house fire. Any quick fixes?

[plush stirrup]

How many controllers have you tested? 🤣 I've only had quest and pico controllers :c

[ashen spindle]

rift, quest2, quest3, index, vive, pico

[unkempt lake]

Indeed no one will give a fuck

Who the fuck looks at random marketting pictures on a laptop maker's website anyways

[plush stirrup]

Which one did you like most? Is the index as overrated as I think it is?

[unkempt lake]

I either look at pictures of the product

[marsh pewter]

uh

[unkempt lake]

Or at the specs

[plush stirrup]

Me, msi has a picture up with non activated windows 🤣

[marsh pewter]

that’s like a really bad idea

[unkempt lake]

oh my moumou

But it will kill the pc

Dude should just blow on the pc

Like a candle

[marsh pewter]

nah, water on an electrical fire

[plush stirrup]

Don't blow the magic smoke away :c

[unkempt lake]

Plastic bowl is an insulator

[ashen spindle]

index is great but it shows its age so atm quest3 is probably the best to get especially since its so cheap in comparison

if you want newer stuff like a bigscreen beyond or pimax those I havent tried but those are also not cheap lol

[plush stirrup]

I picked up a quest pro myself, was the same price as a quest 3, and I got my money back for the quest 3 I had, it was acting up 😛

[plush stirrup]

How noticable is the resolution difference? On paper that's a lot lower iirc

[ashen spindle]

mhh depends, the screens are different so I think I liked the index more especially with the nice sound but the fact that you get godray-like bloom from text or bright spots really bothered me personally

[plush stirrup]

Maybe I should try it someday see how it compares to a quest3/pro

[ashen spindle]

i just hope for deckard or something coming in not next decade lol

[marsh pewter]

deckard is gonna be pricey

[unkempt lake]

Vr is dead

[marsh pewter]

that too

[ashen spindle]

no u

[plush stirrup]

Why would vr be dead?

[marsh pewter]

maybe the deckard will revive the scene

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[unkempt lake]

I really don't think so

[ashen spindle]

vr doesnt need to overtake pc gaming to not be dead

[plush stirrup]

Let's hope they can use the same basestations and I might give it a try 🤣

[unkempt lake]

I think people don't like putting shit on their faces

Even if it leads to a more immersive experience

[ashen spindle]

xr isnt going to die at any point

[crisp granite]

that's exactly what someone who hasn't tried VR would say

[unkempt lake]

I have

[balmy vector]

Beat saber is forever however

[unkempt lake]

Its cool

But it's expensive and there's a lack of games

[ashen spindle]

you can say it wont become as big as people expect or it will be much slover sure, but it just wont ever die

[crisp granite]

and tbh, yeah
current headsets are indeed bulky and heavy
not pleasant for...like
12 hours of gaming a day

[plush stirrup]

Have you seen vrchat? xD

[ashen spindle]

?

its just a matter of price

[unkempt lake]

You mean the game that literally is kept alive because of furries

[plush stirrup]

Quest3 is doable easily for that with the right strap

[plush stirrup]

Yes 🙂

[marsh pewter]

vrchat is very much a niche community

[crisp granite]

the bigscreen beyond is the exception
and that thing ain't cheap

[crisp granite]

fair point
destroy them

[ashen spindle]

yeah and the quest4 isnt going to go up in weight either even if its not reaching that level

[unkempt lake]

Also... be real people... how often do you actually use your vr headsets

[ashen spindle]

daily

[unkempt lake]

When's the last time you used yours @crisp granite

[crisp granite]

last week

was playing some walking dead saints and sinners

[balmy vector]

Rekt

[ashen spindle]

also that doesnt matter, you dont need to use something every second hour for it to not be dead as a market

[plush stirrup]

60000 players online usually so yeah, but still, enough 🙂

[unkempt lake]

A game that came out how long ago again?

If there's no content the market will die

And right now vr has a content problem

[crisp granite]

moot point, I still play a 15 year old game like it may as well have come out yesterday

[plush stirrup]

Mean!

[crisp granite]

Fallout New Vegas
greatest game
of all time

minecraft is close second

[unkempt lake]

Most people don't do that tho

If you want to keep engagement and have a healthy market

You need content

Without content a device dies

[plush stirrup]

Not often lately but that's because I have a headache that doesn't seem to go away, would've been do-able with my quest3 but I think quest pro would make it worse 😛

[unkempt lake]

Yes there will be always people who play older titles

[crisp granite]

and VR is slowly getting more content

rome wasn't built in a day

[unkempt lake]

Not really

[marsh pewter]

I will say that vr in general is a pretty niche space

[marsh pewter]

vr probably had the biggest year in history last year

[unkempt lake]

Only think i can think of recently is like... metro?

[marsh pewter]

it’s just that nobody cares about it enough to actually find the good games to play

[unkempt lake]

And like alien

[marsh pewter]

realistically VR is probably doing the best it ever has rn

[plush stirrup]

Vr costs a lot to get into, one needs a good pc aswell as a pricey headset, that's probably why

[ashen spindle]

vr could get no new games and no new headsets for a year and it wouldnt be dead, people want it for racing sims, flight sims, vrchat, beat saber etc. so it doesnt matter whats happening, it's just not going to die so that argument has no ground

[unkempt lake]

I'd rather have my giant ultrawide for racing sims

[crisp granite]

assholes are like opinions
everyone has at least one

[balmy vector]

Preference moment

[ashen spindle]

okay but that isnt relevant to the topic of if vr is dying, we're back to the usual topic of other people dont have the same prefernce as you

[plush stirrup]

When did I say that? PCVR exists and has a huge quality improvement over the standalone quality

[balmy vector]

Anyway, 12vhpwr

[unkempt lake]

The majority of people with racing sim setups agree with me xd

Vr racing is a minority

For a reason

[ashen spindle]

yeah but nobody said vr racing is the majority because it doesnt have to be

[plush stirrup]

And still not everyone has even that, one of my friends is still on a GTX650ti boost

[ashen spindle]

this is the same logic as when people say a game is dead if its not top3 in steam charts

a niche can stay a niche forever and not die

[crisp granite]

hard agree, but also
worth noting that the oculus exclusives do run on mobile hardware and do so rather well

yes PCVR is a better experience, without a doubt
but you don't NEED a PCVR setup
just a separate VR rig is plenty capable rn and that makes it more cost effective

[unkempt lake]

I'd probably pick up a vr headset someday to play like... alyx alien and metro

[plush stirrup]

It's not an obstacle if one has the money, or already has the hardware, but I had neither, it cost me a lot to play pcvr 🙂

[unkempt lake]

But until there's more titles i'm just not interested

Arizona sunshine did seem fun too and i liked playing suoerhot on it

[ashen spindle]

you just cant argue "this market is dead" only based on the fact you yourself are not interested in it

[unkempt lake]

But again, considering the price of the device its just not worth it

[crisp granite]

Dashi = the market
🧠

[unkempt lake]

Sony is literally giving up on the market

[plush stirrup]

I agree mobile is fine for quest made games, but pcvr will expand what you're capable of playing and the quality you can play it in, it'll make it a much more enjoyable experience aswell

[ashen spindle]

okay and?

one company not competing doesnt mean a market is dying

[marsh pewter]

the quest 3 is 300 usd

[unkempt lake]

Technically yeah i'm a potential new customer

[crisp granite]

you're far from the only

[astral haven]

Vision pro proved there's a market for people who want zero games

[unkempt lake]

If you can't get new customers how's a market supposed to be healthy

[marsh pewter]

you’re probably going to buy the switch 2 for 700 CAD

[balmy vector]

The moumarket

[ashen spindle]

does bigscreen beyond 2 selling in 1 day as much as the beyond 1 sold in 4 months mean vr is now in its biggest boom ever? no doesnt mean that either

they are working on a vision pro 2

[plush stirrup]

Depends on what one plays and the quality one wants to play it in, a 5090 probably doesn't keep up with vrchat 🤣

[unkempt lake]

That includes mario kart

[astral haven]

And they have been pushing out major software updates to the 1

[unkempt lake]

And a healthy stream of day one content and upgraded switch 1 content

[astral haven]

It made the most money of any single hwadset

[unkempt lake]

Again, I am willing to pay money for shit if there's enough content

[ashen spindle]

its the usual first gen product of apple, super expensive and basically a dev product but apple sheeps eat it up

[marsh pewter]

THERE IS ENOUGH CONTENT

[unkempt lake]

I don't think so

[marsh pewter]

you just don’t care about what content there is

[ashen spindle]

you can find multiple hundreds of hours of very varied vr games very easily

[marsh pewter]

hell you could likely play a good chunk of your current game library with VR mods and have a great time

[unkempt lake]

There's some decent games just not enough of them to be worth putting 300usd into a device

[crisp granite]

ngl
having tried a pair of apple swim goggles
they work rather well with the apple bra
and also are good for productivity...if you do specific things

for me, at least rn
kind of a waste

Vrchat moment /s

[unkempt lake]

The stupid strap

[crisp granite]

[marsh pewter]

have you seen the airpods max?

[unkempt lake]

@crisp granite play vrchat with me and i'll buy a vr headset

[crisp granite]

she does horrible things out in the real world too

the wendys parking lot incident 😬

[unkempt lake]

we don't talk about that one

[marsh pewter]

giving a VR headset to a furry is like sitting an angry toddler in front of a nuclear control panel

[crisp granite]

oi
scalie

[marsh pewter]

same difference

[crisp granite]

no, very different

...ok
fair point

[unkempt lake]

that's true

but then if you put two mentally unwell people in vr chat you get funny results

[dull hollow]

i think ive used my quest2 for like..... 10 hours ngl

[marsh pewter]

scalies are technically a subset of furries

therefore scalie = furry

[unkempt lake]

You're right we'd do pussyfights

no

but seriously i'd buy a vr headset if it was cheaper

[dull hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-big-eyes-gif-26476010

[unkempt lake]

There's some content i want to try shit's just too expensive to be worth it

[marsh pewter]

I love her but moumou can’t fight

[ashen spindle]

almost like hardware needs to first be made to then be made in a cheaper way for mass market

[marsh pewter]

you’re talking about cats, right?

Don't ask me to move that cable up top

[bright briar]

i want that case but its too big for my desk

[covert ravine]

I smacked 2 desks together called it a day

[dull hollow]

@sage grove from the one reddit post i saw about this is that you just gotta shove it together or theres an order to assembling the case

[covert ravine]

I need another 27" display tho

My setup crooked rn

Two 27" displays and one 24" and it looks weird lmao.

[sage grove]

the problem im having is either it wont go in, or after literally pushing it in with all my strength, it'll go in, but pop right back out the moment i take any pressure off

[covert ravine]

Ig it'd be fine if the 24" was in the middle tbf

[dull hollow]

interesting

[bright briar]

i could do this but i would be blocking off a floor vent on the floor

[whole axle]

[covert ravine]

I got lucky there, but the air vent is right below my feet, so when ac on, my feet cold, when heat on, my feet hot

[whole axle]

Asus fell off man

[covert ravine]

Thankfully I can close it :)

[dull hollow]

ive only ever worked in an h710 elite so idk much about the more recent nzxt cases, i was considering the h5 flow (22 or 23)

[bright briar]

someone in here name quin said that issue doesnt matter if you dont do a.i work

[whole axle]

quinn the goat

idk personally

i dont wnat my stuff lane shared LMAO

[ashen spindle]

the biggest issue with am5 boards is the lack of IO compared to other platforms like intels

[covert ravine]

Did it go in before?

[covert ravine]

IO?

[ashen spindle]

and taking lanes from the gen5 x16 when nothing needs that for gaming anyway, does help with that

[whole axle]

i can see that. personally i have 5 things max plugged in so its fine

[ashen spindle]

stuff like m2 slots

IO= input/output

[covert ravine]

Oh, I mean, I went from 1 to 4 switching from am4 to am5

[dull hollow]

pft who needs that

[ashen spindle]

yeah its not like people cant use it but if you want more you are quite limited with the lanes zen4/5 give you

[bright briar]

i do i aint trying to live in a musty room during the summer time

give me the AC

[whole axle]

Yall use more than 1 m.2??

[dull hollow]

youre already musty unc

[unkempt lake]

Yes

[whole axle]

i dont think id ever need more than 2tb

yall got hella stuff lmao

[sage grove]

it did, i actually didn't notice it until recently, i assume it popped out on its own over time during the 2 years i've had it

[dull hollow]

games take up a suprising amount of space now

[bright briar]

i use only two m.2 and one ssd. How many ports do those x870 mobo have for storage?

[whole axle]

oh i know i have like 5 or 6 at 100+ gb

sadge

[bright briar]

dont project onto me smelly nephew

[covert ravine]

That's odd

[ashen spindle]

dont know it off the top of my head what the lane count is but arrow lake on intels side has more lanes going out from the cpu so if you want more you get more there

[dull hollow]

go get some loation on your skin ashy ahh unc

[ashen spindle]

but its mostly just for when you have storage in raid or need more pcie slots for whatever

yeah, medal

Ah, medal isn't av1 so is all good :d

[covert ravine]

hdr buns anyway

[wheat plume]

Now I get these keycaps

[unkempt lake]

?

[trim crane]

I thought AV1 helped compress file size

[covert ravine]

Bahaha

Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids

AV1 is absolute peak quality

Fun fact: Microsoft makes you pay to view an av1 file through their app

[trim crane]

are you serious

[lyric hatch]

Shout out VLC

[trim crane]

fr

[ashen spindle]

you mean they dont bundle h265 and it redirects you to buy a license for that because h265 is not royalty free

av1 works just fine

[trim crane]

between AV1 and HEVC tho, does AV1 still win in quality and compression

[ashen spindle]

usually yes, depends on what hardware was used though

[ashen spindle]

but yeah I'm fairly certain you are mixing up av1 and HEVC/h.265

[trim crane]

i was certain HEVC was the one that made you pay

i usually record in HEVC because I have a 3080Ti

[ashen spindle]

yes its a licensed codec so its not free and the cost for it is included in the hardware or software you use for it

[trim crane]

and not a RTX 40 or 50 series, or RX 7000/9000 card

[reef patrol]

HEVC used to be a paid thing in Windows.

[covert ravine]

No, the purchase was listed as AV1 on Microsoft Store

[ashen spindle]

I can literally just open any av1 file on the default media app

[covert ravine]

I had to also pay for HVENC

Idk what to tell you lad, I can pull up my purchase history for you

[ashen spindle]

av1 is an open codec there is no paid part to it

[covert ravine]

It wasn't paid usage

I could record AV1, I could view the file without paying for the codec

Couldn't view*

[ashen spindle]

idk then you bought something on the store a random person put there thats not av1 codec

thats like the entire point of AV1 that its a open source royalty free codec

[covert ravine]

I will say I have viewed my purchase history and it appears I am incorrect here. You are correct. I shall humbly apologize!

I, Alice, hereby apologize for my rancid behavior the last 3 minutes. I went off without knowing the facts and have spouted nonsense. I am very sorry!

How I am now supposed to procrastinate at work and annoy basement neckbeards in comments?

[balmy vector]

Time to switch platforms

[halcyon moss]

its back

[nimble arch]

This is the third(?) price increase for the UK and Europe this generation.

[dusk seal]

and everybody is upset with nintendo 😅

[umbral heron]

Sony doesn't sell games for 90€

[nimble arch]

Yet

[dusk seal]

*yet

and the thing is the only new game I will buy is mariokart world (with bundle 40€) and the rest will be old Switch 1 games I already have, so for the time beeing the prices will not really affect me or player who upgrade their switch.

[balmy vector]

Or indies

[dusk seal]

True, Valheim on Switch 2 would be an instant buy (is it even indie anymore?)

[umbral heron]

Indies are cheaper on Steam

[balmy vector]

One has pikmin though

Case closed

Officially of course

[raw zephyr]

i have a modded switch and it has been collecting dust for many years now, i don't even know if it runs anymore

steam deck is a much better device

[dusk seal]

I mean we are in the wooting Discord, so the price clearly is not everything 😂

[raw zephyr]

the switch feels like a toy and looking at the "first view" videos on youtube the switch 2 isn't much different

[umbral heron]

I need to dust off my "Switch"

[ashen spindle]

Disk drive ps5 launched at 500€ iirc? So not like much changed tbf

[dusk seal]

happend to mine also a few years ago, but then I regulary had a group of friends over and there is simple no alternative to the switch beeing the best multiplayer console

[umbral heron]

PC with Steam to handle all controllers

[nimble arch]

The price increase is just for the minimum barrier to entry

But given that more console owners are going digital only, it's effectively still a price increase if you know you'll never buy a physical game.

[frozen ingot]

it very much is

[dusk seal]

with 8+ players?

[umbral heron]

Sure
I got both my Deck and PC to accept Xbox controller, DualSense, Steam controller and 7 Stadia controllers at once

[ashen spindle]

Yeah true, sad we don’t get cost savings from smaller chips anymore so prices don’t go down over time with revisions

[balmy vector]

Pikmin 2 kaizo through dolphin is peak

[nimble arch]

7 Stadia controllers
Ladies and getlemen, we found the only Stadia user

[umbral heron]

Everything went down, chips costs, development costs, distribution costs, even if we adjust for inflation
And yet game are getting more expensive

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/marge-i-just-think-theyre-neat-the-simpsons-neat-potato-gif-8549864

You can buy them for like 5€, convert to BT, and you have one of the best PC controllers

[nimble arch]

Could always buy an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C

[halcyon moss]

i got a stadia controller, got it for free and got an extra chromecast 4k for free as well

and a free month of stadia, was kinda meh

[umbral heron]

But it doesn't cost 5€
Don't get me wrong, if Stadia controllers would cost 60€ I wouldn't get them
But for 5? I'm into it

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yAtCT6-Uef0
Pew Pew Pew

[ashen spindle]

No what we previously had is that die shrinks would be cheaper so a refresh would mean consoles get cheaper over time, now we just have a small saving from a shrink but that’s basically just offsetting other costs, talking about just hardware costs.

Also the cost of the console doesnt directly mean anything for the cost of games

Like ps4 to ps4 pro was 28nm to 16nm and like 20mm^2 saved in area or the slim was like almost half the size so coats went down for that or didn’t go up much but we don’t have such big node jumps anymore and certainly not at those price cuts

[pale sigil]

Where are you getting then for 5 euro lol

[umbral heron]

Usually pawn shops or local marketplaces
Sure, they are usually dirty and sticky, but nothing that a bit of IPA can't fix

[balmy vector]

And obviously incantations should there be demons in the controller

I gotta ask - Anyone else having this weird issue where parts of the screen don't update when alt tabbing or changing windows? When playing games I often have the issue that I alt tab to Discord, and a quarter of the screen is stuck on an old frame, so when I scroll around or change channels it's stuck. Until I alt tab a couple of times.

I'm thinking it's my 3080 slooooowly dying, but it's been stable, just... glitchy. Has happened across OS installs and without a riser cable.

Is there a name for this weirdness? Cause I've tried googling it for hours one end with no answer - And is there a workaround? 😄

[frozen ingot]

windows and nvidia drivers are both a mess these days

[nimble arch]

I've noticed some weird behaviour, which I assume is power management, where Windows will freeze the UI of certain apps if I'm playing a game.

Discord, for example, will become unresponsive even though voice chat still works.

It's really odd.

Lmao

Being recalled for a glued on skin is pretty bad

[halcyon moss]

Tesla has about US$200 million worth of these vehicles in stock in the US – which translates to around 2,400 Cybertrucks – as the company is having trouble moving units

Cybertruck could sell up to 250,000 units a year. In 2024, its first full year of sales, Tesla sold just under 40,000 units – a slight shortfall on Musk's estimate.

there, saved you a click/read

[distant tapir]

God yes I have that

Had that since I built my pc two months ago or something. At first I wondered if it were because I don't have a discrete gpu

[ashen spindle]

could check if full screen optimizations are on and disable them if it onyl happens when tabbing out of fullscreen

who could have predicted

[halcyon moss]

not me, there are so many alternatives

like claude and gemini

too late, thats already outdated xD

[sudden imp]

I don’t even know what’s going on anymore. The market can’t even stabilize with all the shit going on.

[sudden imp]

The fart of the deal

[crimson wigeon]

They walked back the walk back on the walk back?

[ashen spindle]

The exception was walked back to now have separate tarrifs that come later if they don’t get changed before then again

[vapid ruin]

open ai suck ass for actual performance. I recommend claude (specifically 3.7 sonnet) since they actually care

[analog sinew]

[halcyon moss]

its also expensive

[vapid ruin]

yeh

[halcyon moss]

I'm using gemini 2.5 now for "vibe coding"

[umbral heron]

I don't know, near me any AI dies horrible death
As for now Gemini worked the best for me

[crimson wigeon]

But why are you not using AI to enhance your productivity?!?!

[vapid ruin]

gemini is nice, gemma 3 is also nice if you wanna go local. Claude is nice for long form writing kind.

But I mostly use claude to roleplay

Deepseek is a cheapie yet good option

but roleplay wise, it's a bit on the insane side. Good as a spice, not good as the meal itself.

[halcyon moss]

i am?
ive just spend about USD 1.30 to refactor some code 😛

[umbral heron]

Can you hold model in RAM? In 24G of XTX memory I doubt would fit a bigger model

[vapid ruin]

you can, but can be a hit on your speed

[devout raptor]

jesus the samsung 9100 pro speeds

[thin marsh]

I've fixed a compact camera yesterday and I'm very happy that I can use it again

Image stabilization was freaking out badly so I disabled it "manually"

[scenic thunder]

I get this constantly when trying to run games at a higher res than my monitor through that downscaling nvidia feature

No fix, I just dont run games over my nat ive res anymore

[reef patrol]

I run everything native. Well technically lower if anything due to FSR and DLSS

[scenic thunder]

No clue, I do get that exact behavior when trying to do 3240xwhatever instead of normal 2k.

[scenic thunder]

"Our fully chinese manufacturing has seen issues with the US, so we're jacking the price up across europe"

Okay shareholders, we see you asking for more fucking money.

What absolute fucking nonsense lol

[fathom venture]

Isn’t it the same as the t705?

[ashen spindle]

It’s not even remotely china-only

[frozen ingot]

yet another reason to tell nintendo to go fuck themselves

there were plenty of reasons already

[ashen spindle]

When did Nintendo buy Sony

[ashen spindle]

Oh are you running it on DisplayPort with DSC perhaps

[distant tapir]

I have the issue with my crt

So I think it's just a Windows thing that I might simply have to wait for to be fixed

[ashen spindle]

It has multiple things that can cause it

[distant tapir]

But I have had it for quite a while now

[ashen spindle]

Could be windows settings for one person, bad drivers for another etc.

[reef patrol]

DSC? No idea what that is

[ashen spindle]

Display stream compression

When the normal bandwidth isn’t enough for the cable/port and it needs to use compression to show through resolution/refresh rate it can cause some issues when using full screen apps

[raw zephyr]

fullscreen optimizations!

[ashen spindle]

Yeah that setting can cause issues too sometimes or sometimes only in combination etc.

[scenic thunder]

Sorry, china and japan, really missed a whole faction of asia there. The point being fully non-us manufacturing.

[reef patrol]

I don't think so? I used to have that issue with image compression, turning certain pixels into red.

(On other monitors due to a bug)

[unkempt lake]

@reef patrol whats your resolution

And hz

[reef patrol]

3440x1440p on a 3080

[unkempt lake]

Hz?

[reef patrol]

144hz

[unkempt lake]

Yeah its a DSC issue

[reef patrol]

How...howso?

[unkempt lake]

Nvidia drivers been buggy as of late with DSC and at that res and hz you're using it

What driver version are you on

[reef patrol]

The 3080 can do 4k at 144hz (or more) though? 😄

[ashen spindle]

Yes it can, with DSC

[reef patrol]

I'm on... 572.83 from about a month ago?

[ashen spindle]

Despite the name the most issues with DSC are not in form of compression artificers that are visual

[reef patrol]

So...how do I fix this? 😛

[umbral heron]

But 1440p UW @144Hz 10b is 1.3, and 3080 already has 1.4a

[ashen spindle]

But no in your case I don’t think it’s dsc related unless the cable is bad and negotiates the spec down

Have you tried different cables and different ports on the gpu?

[reef patrol]

Not for ages, no.

[unkempt lake]

Also have you tried rolling back to the pre 50 series drivers

[reef patrol]

Shouldn't I be able to detect if DSC is enabled though?

[ashen spindle]

Well the thing is you can’t really

[unkempt lake]

Try driver 566.36

[reef patrol]

Unless it's a bad cable (I doubt it), I should be a good 10gb below the limit of 1.4

[ashen spindle]

Yes that’s why I’m saying it’s likely not DSC but we also can’t really confirm if DSC is on or not there isn’t a way to check for that that’s accurate

[reef patrol]

But... it can't be DSC, if I am below the bandwidth limit though?

Isn't the whole point of DSC to get beyond that?

[scenic thunder]

Honestly trying a pre 50xx driver isint a bad idea. I'm on a 3070ti and had to downgrade my driver for the first time ever beacuse of the fucked new ones.

[ashen spindle]

Yeah but there’s not confirmation that the driver or hardware are working at full bandwidth and if there’s a link speed issue it could drop down and force itself on, but it could also just be other issues with the cable or port so switching those to test would just eliminate multiple options at once

[unkempt lake]

Mansen try the driver downgrade to 566.36. Recent nvidia drivers have caused a lot of... odd display issues. Saw flickering and other wierd ass shit on the 2080 and 3080 and it fixed a lot of wierd stuff with it.

[reef patrol]

Already doing that.

[scenic thunder]

Yee flickering was what I got a ton of on my second display

[unkempt lake]

On both nico and my brother's rigs which run nvidia it basically got rid of issues fully

Been flawless since

Also got rid of intermitent long black screens when alt tabbing

[vagrant reef]

I must be hella lucky to not experience these issues

[unkempt lake]

Dont jinx yourself

[reef patrol]

Cleaned, installed, rebooted. Will have to report back later if it did anything. Can't rightly play video games during business hours 😄

[vagrant reef]

Fate is a construct.

[scenic thunder]

Can't get some DKS "testing" in? 😉
