except i cant read it lol

reef patrol
#

System something domain? Invalid.

ashen spindle
#

looks like system thread execption not valid

pale sigil
#

system thread exception not valid

#

memory issues

reef patrol
#

Memtest dat bish.

pale sigil
#

he said he has

#

and it said it was good

#

Welp

#

its clearly a memory issue

#

i think he is running out of memory

ashen spindle
#

malewarebytes/check how many programs he's using lmao

pale sigil
#

Not much we can do, i got him a dirt cheap system a few years ago for like 80 quid, GTX 660, 8350 and 8GB cheap ram

#

told him he will have to move on

#

and yes i am doing that tbf

ashen spindle
#

wait what is he doing with it?

#

8gb isn't a lot but should still work for most things

pale sigil
#

chrome is apparently using 3-4gb no surprise there

#

as for the rest im not sure

#

hard to tell when he just messages me out of the blue i blue screend

ashen spindle
#

I mean then it should just use slow as ramdisk or so but not crash

#

plugin great suspender is also nice for chrome to reduce memory usage

#

it parks sites you dont use basically

#

until you open them again

pale sigil
#

he is fine with me building a new system

#

but like saving up is an issue atm

#

computer is at the bottom of the list which i can respect 100%

ashen spindle
#

I mean then it sounds like just using plugins like that to save ram is better

pale sigil
#

No i know but it would be nice for him to not rely on old second hand hardware now that he is working.

#

the ram is none branded

#

that alone is a big oof

ashen spindle
#

doesnt really matter...

crimson wigeon
#

Pull out the minidump and put it in WinDbg

plush summit
#

wrong channel again

#

Happy place

old marlin
#

I love this mouse

#

np

#

g305 is good too

#

but doesn't beat this for me

#

but my cable for it still isn't finished AngeryDog

pale sigil
#

g305 is awesome

#

but very very small

old marlin
#

it is awesome

#

shape is not ideal, logitech did better in all previous eggs

#

g300s is made for people that think having macros on a mouse is a necessity , expecially right besides main clicks

#

doesn't even have regualr sidebuttons

#

also I don't think that it is that small actually

#

wait

#

nvm

#

smaller than abyssus lol

#

I don't think I have a good reference for my mice lol

#

still not tiny

#

lol why

#

don't buy romer g lol

#

or wdym

#

oh

#

rubber siding loves that

#

they either do that, come of or turn into a slippery mess

#

or all 3 on the rival 600 lol

#

make choices about products not brands

#

they all have lemons

#

some more than others

#

also I think the g300s has that godawful sensor

#

so what mouse will you buy next?

#

so I can tell you what they have done bad?

#

if it had sidebuttons i'd get that

#

oh

#

b100

#

or m100

#

yea

#

maybe has a weight inside

#

some have them some don't I don't get the system

#

they are

#

I mentioned it so you could remove it

#

since you don't have to expose any screw to open it up

#

only screw is already exposed

pale sigil
#

Wait

old marlin
#

some have

#

weight = "quality"

#

hmu if you want a recommendation

#

same

#

g303 ones are placed so badly

#

yea

#

surprisingly razer is one of those

#

not as much as wooting though

#

roccat is quite good in that regard

#

know a guy there pretty well

#

that is how I got my transparent kpu

#

my browser just forgot I was logged in in youtube

#

rip

#

uhhh

#

well

#
#

measure your hand like this

#

and say me in which of the categories you fit on the right, ignore the left

#

green = a must for the grip
red = optional for the grip

#

and lastly obviously a budget

#

well no hand is the same as the next one

#

I don't care what you use to measure

dapper ridge
#

just get one of these

#

yesir

old marlin
#

for no reason

dapper ridge
#

cause wireless is so important for am mouse that does not move

#

and technically

old marlin
#

not like you can easily use it on the lap

dapper ridge
#

you can game with just a keyboard

#

albeit very difficultly

#

like my ducky

#

I can manipulate the mouse with my ducky

#

:p

old marlin
#

ye do that

dapper ridge
#

what a beast

old marlin
#

I have 20x10 lol

dapper ridge
ashen spindle
#

yes its your fault, just cut parts of it off lul

dapper ridge
#

here for you big handed monsters

old marlin
#

19x9.75 is acutally just slightly above average

#

average is ~18x9

dapper ridge
#

I dont know metric

#

im a plebian

old marlin
#

inches are metric though dogekek

#

gotta base it off of SI units

#

yes

#

since they have to be based off of SI units to be correctly convertable

dapper ridge
#

...

old marlin
#

same with basically everything else in the imperial system

#

all based off of SI units now

#

so basically metrix or modifications of metric

dapper ridge
#

Technically tho that doesnt mean its metric tho right?

old marlin
#

except pressure I think

#

I mean

#

the metre is SI

#

and metric

vagrant inlet
#

guys

dapper ridge
#

this says an inch is 24.4 mm in metric si units

vagrant inlet
#

what do you think about the coolermaster mastermouse mm830

old marlin
#

why would you get that?

dapper ridge
#

^

vagrant inlet
#

im considering it

#

because uh

dapper ridge
#

what are you looking for in a mouse?

old marlin
#

like do you need 4 sidebuttons?

vagrant inlet
#

i mean i play alot of mobas

old marlin
#

or that OLED display lol

vagrant inlet
#

so yeah, kinda

#

and i like heavy mice

dapper ridge
old marlin
#

don't get heavy mice

#

only gives disadvantages

#

razer naga trinity is actually pretty nice

vagrant inlet
#

what disatvantages?

old marlin
#

inertia

dapper ridge
#

eh

#

tbh I like a mix

old marlin
#

and palm?

dapper ridge
#

kinda medium weight for my mice

old marlin
#

base touches desk

#

and rest?

#

what is medium? liek 90g?

dapper ridge
#

Ig

#

let me check the weight on my current mouse

old marlin
#

bigger mouse will change that probably

#

roccat kain 100 is pretty good for you probably

#

if 90g is okay

#

or intellimouse pro lol

dapper ridge
#

I mean mouse I use at work is the logitech g900

old marlin
#

I hate g900 shape

#

I think I explained it before

dapper ridge
#

ye

#

and I explained how it is the most comfortable mouse I own

#

for my hands at least

#

the mouse I use at home is the ROCCAT KONE Aimo

old marlin
#

too wide

dapper ridge
#

130g

#

also comfortable

old marlin
dapper ridge
#

feels good man

#

cant explain it

#

🤷‍♂️

old marlin
#

kone pure ultra is 66g lol

vagrant inlet
#

imagine a mouse weighing over 300g

old marlin
#

kain 100 is actually insanely complicated inside

#

300g would be horrible

dapper ridge
#

I use a roccat kova for portable gaming

vagrant inlet
#

i know right

dapper ridge
#

and it is

#

too light

old marlin
#

so much inertia

#

you need time to start moving and to slow down

#

even if accuarcy would be the same (which it won't) it will take longer to aim just as well

dapper ridge
#

I also have a Razer Lancehead, also too light for me

old marlin
#

also it gets tiring on the wrist because you have to start and stop that weight all the time

#

my g305 is at 73.5g

dapper ridge
#

is 130g a lot in your opinion?

old marlin
#

yea

dapper ridge
#

smh you must have delicate hands

old marlin
#

anything above 100g is something I would consider to be heavy

#

20x10

dapper ridge
#

yeah I know

#

big and delicate

old marlin
#

and 100g is basically the cutoff point in the mouse community

dapper ridge
#

I like em heavier over lighter 🤷‍♂️

old marlin
#

90g is easily reachable with any sensible shape

#

EC1, kain etc proove that

#

and once you got used to light mice you don't wanna go back

dapper ridge
#

my first mouse was a kone xtd

#

that thing weighed about 123g

old marlin
#

yea ik

dapper ridge
#

loved that mouse

old marlin
#

roccat did some weird stuff in the past

dapper ridge
#

only problem was it ate hair

#

like

old marlin
#

the horde for example, which has basically dks

#

but bad

dapper ridge
#

dog and cat hair

#

so the optical sensor would get all glitchy

#

and you would have to clean the hair out

old marlin
#

that is why sensor rings exst nowadays

dapper ridge
#

never had that happen with a mouse before

#

I mean

#

what light mouse that is a good palm mouse would you recommend?

old marlin
#

what handsize?

dapper ridge
#

with the same general shape as the kone xtd

#

oh

#

leme get it 4 u

old marlin
#

for small hands kpu will work

#

lol nope

#

sensor ring will at least keep it out of the sensor

#

but the glue of the feet will basically always do that

#

especially on hardpads

dapper ridge
#

18x9.5

#

workin for me

old marlin
#

I doubt you'd want a skoll lol

#

it is acting up atm

dapper ridge
#

anywho

#

18x9.5 is my hand size

old marlin
#

yea seen it

#

kone pure ultra is basically a kone but smaller

#

too small for you basically

#

I don't see any reason behind it

dapper ridge
#

or do excel

old marlin
#

unless you have gigantic excel sheets or something

#

why?

#

tbh

#

I'd probably go Kain 100 for yo uas well lol

#

I don't use spreadsheets

#

am a smart boy

#

I use databases

#

basically

dapper ridge
#

depends on use

#

sql if you want it to work

old marlin
#

why should I do the work if I can get it done

#

lol

dapper ridge
#

nosql if you want to suffer

old marlin
#

nosql is basically a database for autist

dapper ridge
#

I mean its fine

#

but

#

not as useful

old marlin
#

well it can be

dapper ridge
#

like no relationships?

old marlin
#

if you know how to use it

dapper ridge
#

it works great in big data imo

#

but

#

there are some good sql big databases too

old marlin
#

sybase is terrible

#

our erp system uses it

#

and it isn't even SAP

dapper ridge
#

we use MSQL

#

I hate it

#

gotta do everything gui

#

all our apps are MS

#

so

#

guess compatibility reasons

old marlin
#

lol

#

well

#

we use a ton of different shit

#

and have a ton of stuff running in the background

dapper ridge
#

I wish we used something more flexible

#

our database is a chonk

old marlin
#

newest project is basically creatign a web framework and basically dumping EVERYTHING in it

#

?

#

3360 would be the usual choice

#

that does 12k

#

you can set whatever you want

#

the sensor in the kain is pretty good though

dapper ridge
#

I usually go with around 8500 tbh

old marlin
#

oof

#

I use 400 now lol

dapper ridge
#

what

#

you use 400 dpi?

#

how

ashen spindle
#

400 here too

old marlin
#

by getting good

#

yea, roccat themselves doesn't recommend anything over 3000

dapper ridge
#

ok hold on

#

let me try this shit

#

oh wait

#

im lying

#

I use 1600

#

huh

old marlin
#

even the 3360 will smooth at like 1200 and above or something

dapper ridge
#

wow im dumb

old marlin
#

I used 800 before

ashen spindle
#

ok 1600 seems a lot more normal

old marlin
#

after switching to a worktop protector as a mousepad I halved it

dapper ridge
#

holy shit

old marlin
dapper ridge
#

you actually use 400 tho

old marlin
#

on a triplescreen setup

dapper ridge
#

no mouse accell?

old marlin
#

nope

dapper ridge
#

how big is your mousepad

old marlin
#

uhhh

ashen spindle
#

mouse accell should never be on for anything

old marlin
#

like 40x50

dapper ridge
#

I just set this to 400 dpi

#

I have to do like

#

4 full drags agross my whole mousepad to get from one side of my desktop to the other

ashen spindle
#

yes you need to move your arm not your hand at 400dpi

old marlin
#

I use this as a mousepad

#

so 50cm wide

dapper ridge
#

yeah I cant do that

old marlin
#

I have to reset to reach from one side to another

dapper ridge
#

1400 or 1600

old marlin
#

on all 3 screens

ashen spindle
#

I have a qck+ or so, 40x40 or maybe a bit more

old marlin
#

with that thing you can easily cut it in half

#

qck is so bad

#

gets worn in in one month

dapper ridge
#

so any mice I should try

old marlin
#

eats all the hair

dapper ridge
#

I need a new one anyways

old marlin
#

get a kain 100 lol

#

it is 90g

ashen spindle
#

what hair, I'm not a cat

old marlin
#

good sensor

#

good quality

#

it actually is pretty nice

old marlin
#

not all sensors like it though

#

yea

#

you can get the 120 if you don't sweat

#

although I prefer the rubber sides on the 100

#

biggest difference is the sides

#

100 has rubber

dapper ridge
#

why rubber?

old marlin
#

120 has a different coating

#

better for sweaty hands

dapper ridge
#

I mean

#

maybe a little sweat

#

not much tho

old marlin
#

the 120 coating is kinda like a glossy one

dapper ridge
#

I dont like rubber mice

old marlin
#

the rubber os pretty good though

#

not too soft or hard

#

wdym?

#

oh

#

it isn't glossy

#

just kinda like a glossy one

dapper ridge
#

or can it

old marlin
#

there isn't something similar

#

so you may slip if you have sweaty hands, like on a glossy coating

#

but otherwise it is basically the best coating you could get

dapper ridge
#

spray cheese

old marlin
#

you could probably slap something on it

#

like tennis bat grip etc

#

marucci bat grip works well

#

DON'T GET LIZARD SKINS

#

is a grip tape brand

#

leaves nasty residue

#

my kain 100 sides aren't worn in at all though even though I used it a lot

#

rubber is a bit harder than it is on most other mice

#

except razer viper

#

lol

dapper ridge
#

well

#

ima go home

#

thanks for the chat gents

old marlin
#

wtf

#

considering how overbuilt it is, yes

#

?

#

oof

#

the click assembly

#

is insane

#

it can be turned off

#

in the unfortunately dated software

#

and the config can be saved on the mouse

#

yes it works

old marlin
#

uhhh

#

newegg maybe

#

not too sure

#

you live in USA right?

#

idk

#

germany is easy with roccat

#

inches

#

or something idk

#

wait nvm

#

you used cm

#

oh lol

#

nope

#

I just thought you did because I mentioned them before lol

#

lol

#

rip

ashen spindle
#

well time to drop linux

#

mac os it is boys

old marlin
#

probably not

#

just use shrineos lol

#

it is templeos with the evil of networking

#

and a few other things

#

which are less important

ashen spindle
#

it's 2020 so I'll need to find a linux version made in C+Equality, can't keep going with unfair systems in this decade

old marlin
#

templeOS is christian

#

and better than any linux

#

for reason I won't state here in fear of getting banned

#

damn

#

it is already 1:25

#

I should sleep already lol

#

yea I will

#

right now

#

cya

#

np

plush summit
#

@proud nacelle sleep with me, then i will go to bed

pale sigil
ashen spindle
#

ye quest has hand tracking since like 3 weeks ago

#

it's okay-ish

pale sigil
#

Im surprised how well tracking is tho

#

tbh

#

im very tempted

dapper ridge
#

candians

pale sigil
#

due to oculus link being a feature now (desktop vr)

ashen spindle
#

yea but quest costs exactly as much as rift s

#

and link is like 70$

pale sigil
#

rift s is sht tho

ashen spindle
#

no

pale sigil
#

Especially for me

ashen spindle
#

have you tried it

pale sigil
#

Dosn't matter, no IPD means its useless

#

its very similar to the lenovo explorer and i could not see in it

#

As for Rift S

#

Quest has better everything

#

tracking, res etc

ashen spindle
#

the quest does not have better tracking

pale sigil
#

it literally does

#

it even has more cameras

#

greater fov tracking too

ashen spindle
#

the s has more cameras than the quest...

#

4 vs 5

#

...

pale sigil
#

makes a huge difference

#

when it comes to internal tracking

ashen spindle
#

the S

#

has more

#

not the quest

pale sigil
#

wot

ashen spindle
#

yes

pale sigil
#

am i getting mixed up

ashen spindle
#

4 vs 5

#

if you dont want to play stuff without a pc there is no reason to get a quest, unless you have reallllly unusual eye placement

#

no ipd sounds worse than it is

pale sigil
#

it doesn't tho

#

like not having an IPD sucks ass

#

I cant deal with it

ashen spindle
#

except nobody who used it in our work office had issues with it

pale sigil
#

and the actual design of the fucking headset is god awful

ashen spindle
#

m8 its a black brick in your face

#

either way

pale sigil
#

m8 being able to adjust it is extremely important

#

you cant do this very well with the rift s vs rift and quest

ashen spindle
#

says the person who has not tried it

pale sigil
#

I have tried lenovo explorer which has the exact same design

#

literally

#

it uses the same ergo design

#

the whole holo design for vr headsets is absolute garbage

ashen spindle
#

idk, from looking at google images of the two I'd say the are similar but not the same and again, nobody at work had issues with not having ipd for the s

pale sigil
#

Its literally made by lenovo

#

lol

#

theyuse the design

ashen spindle
#

yes we went over this when it was announced

#

I still stand by, if you dont want to play stuff without a pc there is no reason to get a quest, unless you get the quest 100bucks cheaper or so

pale sigil
#

So the only pro is the 1 extra camera

ashen spindle
#

idk why that is not showing the image as preview

#

with link you add another layer on already beta-level soft and hardware while paying more

pale sigil
#

that image is the onboard

#

ofc its not gonna look nice

#

lol

#

and as for beta level it runs perfectly fine + its not like im getting it right this second

ashen spindle
#

we are not comparing it vs the old rift so that picture is not fitting

#

I'm pretty sure I had the missing IPD as bad, or as "I need to see it" when we talked about it first and now that I tried it, I don't think it matters for 99% of users

pale sigil
#

it really does though

ashen spindle
#

I dont know what else to tell you, I tried it, I didn't notice it, yet on the vive pro I had to readjust it from the other guy using it

#

mabye if you need to wear glasses with it, idk how that would be, don't need mine for close stuff

pale sigil
#

obviously its not going to affect everyone

#

but its deffo not 99%

#

there is a reason a lot of people were pissed

ashen spindle
#

it doesnt matter if they were pissed before it was released

pale sigil
#

a lot of people avoided it due to ipd too

#

you would be surprised how much of a difference it makes

ashen spindle
#

I dont care what they did without trying it

#

the people I know who used it dont have an issue and I didn't see anyone mentioning it (but im also not on r/oculus or whatever), so unless you say you tried it or show me people who tried it and didn't like it I'm confident with saying 99% dont care

#

I'm not saying it's better than having ipd or anything like that, I'm merely observing that it doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference to not having it on the s

#

I have no issue changing my view on that but not from "oh it will be worse" without trying it

#

and now I go sleep rooSuperComfy

fair gull
#

cause its still somewhat good actually

timid chasm
#

"costs" money

#

It's still like Winrar in terms of infinite continue isn't it?

#

last I used it, which was like a decade ago, you could wait a few seconds after the 30s was up and continue

#

Jeez. So much time spent on there back in the day lol. Gettin' oooooooooolllllllllddddddddd.

#

I can't imagine using it now. It was useful once upon a time, imo. Decent for file sharing and if you had a network for school stuff maybe. I never got into big networks

zenith sonnet
#

I used it until Discord, tbh

ashen spindle
#

Yes you can use mIRC like winrar just a bit trickier

#

And irc is still used just in disguise, twitch chat for example is a gigantic IRC network

old marlin
#

somebody here needs a ton of HBA fiber cards?

old marlin
#

we bought a ton of servers out of an old datacenter

#

so we have a few dozen of HBA cards now

#

and don't have any use for them

fair gull
#

@ashen spindle twitch chat isnt even irc well technically is but doesnt follow the rfc too close

reef patrol
#

You used to (can still?) connect to Twitch using IRC apps.

fair gull
#

u can yes but like i said it doesnt follow to close

#

tons of the rfc not implemented or custom implemented for custom twitch features

reef patrol
#

So some commands don't overlap is what you mean?

fair gull
#

channel admin etc for example dont exist

#

while mods do

#

its like this weird half irc half twitch custom shit

#

all in all it would have been better to just implement actual irc

#

would at least run more stable with longer connections and not lag as much

timid chasm
#

I do remember it being spotty when connecting via an IRC client.

reef patrol
#

YES! Luke calls out Linus on that BS Garbo keyboard in dishwasher guide.

wheat plume
#

!_;

reef patrol
#

I'm torn.

I don't agree that developers should go out of their way to support Linux.

But I also agree that they should at the least not hunt down Linux users that need to use compatibility layers and whatnot - And they should work with anti-cheat developers to make those Linux native to avoid false positives.

#

And sure enough - It was anti cheat that caused this. Yet again.

thick elk
#

I would go a step back form that myself. I can see how supporting wine can require quite a bit of effort.
I think it's perfectly valid to not actively try to make anti-cheat compatible with an unsupported platform.
Whatever way you want to put it, not reversing bans is just wrong, as there is clearly nothing mallicious going on.
They should be able to at least detect the bans caused by wine, reverse them, and make it so people running wine get an error instead.

reef patrol
#

I don't really agree on the anti cheat aspect. It takes very little effort to whitelist something like the Vulcan API. And it is a pretty noticeable slap in the face of customers not to expect this from the Dev.

wheat plume
#

It just pissses me off :/

#

The devs could easily get the money back they spent on supporting Linux gamers through wine with the new game purchases and in game items from people who own the game already

thick elk
#

I really don't know how much work it is to make it compatible, if it's just a flag, sure it would be silly not to do but there may be more to it. I really have not read into it enough.
I do know EAC has been working on wine support for some time. So my guess is that it's more then just a simple whitelist.

wheat plume
#

If they are working on wine support

#

Why
Tf

Are they doing this shit?

thick elk
#

that's easy anti cheat not EA

wheat plume
#

Don't they make that?

thick elk
#

actually epic games bought them

wheat plume
#

So
Technically they do

#

Their fault !

#

Wait

#

No

#

I'm so confused about epic games too

They gave massive donations to open source applications yet any time someone plays their games on Linux they get banned

#

Even in the the Sims

Which is a freaking single player game.... Who gives a crap if the client in modified if it's single player

#

Yes I started talking about ea again

fair gull
#

i mean as per the stuff u click "i agree" it says u arent allowed to modify any files the game uses if not specified otherwise

#

so basically

#

this is just EA enforcing the rules everyone agreed on

#

so i dont really see the problem

wheat plume
#

Yeh
But that was said in the context of cheating and hacking in the game

fair gull
#

nope

#

literally just says to not modify any files the game uses

wheat plume
#

Hmm

fair gull
#

i just checked myself

#

cause usually yes its only hacking related

#

or well "cant modify to gain any advantagee"

#

which includes macros etc aswell

wheat plume
#

Macros can be op

fair gull
#

but i could only find a "cant modify or we ban"

wheat plume
#

O o

fair gull
#

and they seem to just enforce their rules

wheat plume
#

Still.... The fact this is needed in order to play their games

fair gull
#

its not

wheat plume
#

You think they would allow that since they are getting more people playing them

fair gull
#

its only needed if you chose to play on a platform EA doesnt support

wheat plume
#

Yes

fair gull
#

and its not like u wouldnt know its unsupported

#

they never say it is

wheat plume
#

What bothers me the most is that when games day that they are "PC compatible" it never means PC, it just means Windows

fair gull
#

so this (if theres no BF5 specific terms one agrees to) seems like EA did everything wright and the buyers just didnt read the shit they agree to

wheat plume
#

If it was truly PC compatible it would support all os

fair gull
#

ya PC usually just targets the wide non tech world

#

so PC usually means windows

wheat plume
#

I know that

#

It's still false advertising

#

To those who know that not only Windows exists anyway

#

It didn't do this before
I tried that before

#

while speaking irish?

#

wait i forgot u dont

wheat plume
#

@fair gull
Two of my friends thought that Irish people could only speak in Irish and one of them therefore didn't come to visit because she can't speak it -.-

fair gull
#

i wouldnt visit u either

#

cant speak irish myself

Anyone know a way to make a CMD remember its window position?
Or a launch command to make it launch in a specific posiiton?

fair gull
#

window managers

#

like displayfusion

#

or mosaico

#

theres a reason why a few programs dont save window position

#

so u dont get cucked if u have troubles with multi display

#

cmd for example always opens on monitor 1

#

just noticed win10 actually lets u overwrite the system positioning

#

but as i said be warned this might make the window inaccessible in certain situations

zenith sonnet
#

Task Manager does this also

#

Which is really bad, because sometimes games lock up on the primary display

fair gull
#

with taskmgr i cant help u since i use procexp

#

and it replaces wintaskmgr

zenith sonnet
#

And the only way to move it is to create a second desktop on monitor 1 with Win + Tab and move Task Manager there

fair gull
#

and remembers position etc

zenith sonnet
#

I used it in the past

#

I should install it again

fair gull
#

only has the downside of xcode detecting it as cheat

#

and some other jp/kr anti cheats

zenith sonnet
#

I used it in the past to suspend GameGuard

#

Because it wouldn't work on x64 systems and lock up the game

#

Pre-launch Aion that was, iirc

old marlin
#

@fair gull you can switch whihc monitors a window is showed on with win+shift+arrow keys

hey guys, quick question, has anyone attempted to use UCR (https://github.com/Snoothy/UCR) to mux the input between a mouse and the Wooting keyboard into a single Xbox360 controller device? This way, you could use the Wooting keyboard and mouse combo on games that don't support simultaneous keyboard/mouse and controller input

#

it should work, UCR is capable of translating mouse movement to joystick with interceptor, wanted to see if anyone else had tried it yet

#

i think once concern i have is leaving the Wooting keyboard in XInput with the emulated XBox360 controller, since you can't really hide it from the PC, so I might set it up in DirectInput instead

#

but yeah I just got my keyboard delivered today and haven't even set it up yet, but I'll give it a shot and post my results here

#

oh yeah that's the developer of UCR, sweet

#

yeah I'm assuming he's tried it then, but it's strange because I can find 0 info online about using UCR and wooting for this purpose. i mean, assuming it works, that means we can use wooting and mouse with literally any game that supports xinput

#

anyway i've read all the documentation and know roughly how to proceed, I'll go ahead and get started shortly and follow up here if i have any issues or i get it working

#

but yeah, imagine being able to play basically any modern game with a full wooting/mouse combo...

acoustic bay
#

@digital cliff great news, it works! honestly better than i could have ever expected. using it with nier automata right now

#

so there's a couple of game specific issues to work out, I don't have any blocking on so the original inputs get sent in addition to the emulated ones, but since this is mostly intended for games that can't do simultaneous input it doesn't usually matter to much. for nier, the issue is that you can't use a controller and kb/m at the exact same time; using one disables the other, so blocking isn't really essential honestly

#

anyway yeah using this method you can use wootility on pretty much everything, which I think would be a pretty good selling point. if any of the devs are interested in the details let me know, i feel like this should definitely be mentioned on the site somewhere

zenith mirage
#

That sounds pretty cool, might have to try that later

acoustic bay
#

sounds good, let me know if you have any issues, I'll keep checking back in. i set up blocking through interceptor/UCR, some autohotkey to start UCR with a profile and close it, great stuff man

#

maybe i should make a reddit post with instructions... I definitely want this to get visibility because i think the fact that wooting has a list of supported games is definitely a drawback for people looking to take the plunge into analog PC gaming

#

and also people complaining about games it doesn't work in in reviews... this would 100% counter that

ashen spindle
#

wonder if it would make sense to add it to wootility somehow, though it would need wootility to stay in background hmm

acoustic bay
#

eh that's a huge code burden for wootility, it would basically require a fork of UCR, plugins it uses, and maybe even the other programs needed for emulating the Xbox360 controller and intercepting kb/m

#

it's really not that bad to set up through UCR at all, I didn't have instructions and it only took me a couple of hours to figure out

ashen spindle
#

yeah that's true, I just think it would sounds better if you can say "hey use this part of our tool to make it work" rather than "use this external software", to less tech savvy people at least

acoustic bay
#

well the good news is that everything is open source so they could look to include that functionality at some point in the future

ashen spindle
#

I'll just ping @fervent plaza so he can see this at some point, not sure if he already knows about it, before this conversations gets lost behind some others

acoustic bay
#

i'm not sure this is ever going to be easy for non tech savy people though. blocking mouse input is always going to be risky if you don't know what you're doing

#

but yeah i'd definitely like to make sure the devs are aware there is a work around, it's pretty easy to set up, and it works fantastic

#

if you're willing to do things like block mouse input

#

who knows maybe the licenses on all this open source software would allow for it to be included in wootility, it's possible

And it left out some important details - Typical sponsored video.

ashen spindle

only looked at the start, it's a showcase not a review so one can basically treat is as an ad

It's an ad :/

It is a literal ad 😄

Linus even said so previously - He distances himself from the content when doing these. One might say... he doesn't stand by what he's saying.

I watched Linus' video on the "16 cores for the price of 8" and he sounds far better sick than when he does clear

why are industrial mainboards such a hassle

probably ray tracing specific lol

i cant imagine 50% overall

zenith sonnet
#

That I may actually believe

fair gull
#

that sounds like the entire industry would get owned by nvidia

so prob just RT

Yeah, the wording is 100% ambigious

either way i want one

seems like nvidia is focusing more on features now than performance increases

zenith sonnet

Rumour created to staunch Navi sales?

fair gull
#

@feral jolt well the rt cores make games more performant if reflections are done through them

i played the one game

and runs just as good as without

zenith sonnet
#

"AMD Ryzen 4000 Rumored to Offer Around 17% Increased Performance"

#

I might believe that, somewhat

feral jolt
#

more likely than nvidia's 50% increase

zenith sonnet
#

But not for all workloads

fair gull
#

and i believe that performance increases arent that much anyway cause were hitting limits of what we can fabricate with current technology

zenith sonnet
#

Straight from Intel:
"Core i9-10900K up to 30% Faster than i9-9900K: Intel"

#

25% more cores and 5% more boost clock, makes perfect sense

feral jolt
#

its simple addition, dont be obtuse

fair gull
#

i mean if u make a workload that takes advanatage of those additions

#

yes u could get 30% faster

feral jolt
#

intel would never mislead anyone

fair gull
#

but i dislike the whole marketing all of the tech comps do anyway

#

its always either up to values or very unspecific

zenith sonnet
#

Worst case 2% faster, best case 30%

#

And that's inhouse benchmarks

fair gull
#

exactly

#

its become all marketing by now

#

theres pmuch only independant reviewers one can turn to

zenith sonnet
#

Look at the wattage at the top of the chart

feral jolt
#

30% more performance at Windows Office ®️

30% more performance at 3d pipe screensaver

1000R is new

But a 240Hz VA panel?

#

Dat ghosting...

#

Step in the right direction

feral jolt
#

idk VA has improved quite a bit in recent years

zenith sonnet

Ghosting is still an issue

feral jolt

cant notice any ghosting on my buddies 100hz VA

#

yeah its some chinesium company

zenith sonnet
#

Can't find a single proper review on that thing

#

i would have much rather bought it than my ips one that was over twice as much

fair gull
#

just buy one xea and u can review it

zenith sonnet
#

LG 27GL850

#

Just buy this and be happy

fair gull
#

inb4 4times as expensive

#

500€ ya no

#

ill stay with my benq and aoc 1080p idk how many inch monitors

#

like 22 or 24

feral jolt
#

yeah 1080p looks good at that size

zenith sonnet
#

If you buy anything else, you either get it for better (meaningful) HDR or a higher resolution, but nothing beats it in performance

feral jolt
#

and i cant stand how 4k looks on anything under 30 something inches, icons are ant sized

zenith sonnet
#

32" 4K is probably what I would call the sweet spot

fair gull
#

too expensive

#

if a monitor costs more than 100€ is too expensive

zenith sonnet
#

27" for WQHD

feral jolt
#

fuck is gsync nice for gaming though

fair gull
#

eh

#

there was one game were i actually had to turn vsync on

zenith sonnet
#

Freesync does the same, at 200€ less :p

fair gull
#

otherwise its always off

#

dont even remember which game

feral jolt
#

yeah gsync, freesync, same thing

#

like if you are driving in a game it really makes the motion feel a lot more realistic

zenith sonnet
#

I wouldn't wanna ever go back

#

But I do think a Monitor deserves a decent chunk of the budget
You can pay 1000€ for a graphics card, but still have a poor experience if you monitor sucks

feral jolt
#

or just play csgo at 600 fps !

zenith sonnet
#

You're gonna have a better time with a 500€ GPU and a 500€ monitor than a 900€ GPU and a 100€ monitor

#

Absolutely

fickle ore
#

Been skimping on GPU's for ages now. I see no need

zenith sonnet
#

Well, a 1660 Ti gives you 80% of the experience of a 2080 Ti, so yeah, you're right

#

I care a little, so I'd spend 500€ and get a 5700 XT to get 95% of the experience of a 2080 Ti

feral jolt
#

i just rent gpus from microcenter so i have a 2080 ti

"amongst average gameboy advance players"

what is the 20ms though? my frame times are under 10ms at 120hz

zenith sonnet
#

Simulated network latency

old marlin
#

frametimes normally would be 16ms at 60hz lol

#

they don't say what it represents

zenith sonnet
#

Damn, 100ms system latency for 60 Hz?

old marlin
#

I think reaction time, although that seems unrealistic

zenith sonnet
#

That's 6 frames...

old marlin
#

yea I doubt that

#

fighting games would legit be unwinnable

zenith sonnet
#

It's not impossible, with vysnc triple buffer

old marlin
#

aaaaand

#

all effort is wasted

#

RIGGED

zenith sonnet
#

^

feral jolt
#

seems like they are trying to justify their lack of performance increases lately compared to previous improvement rate

old marlin
#

I mean

#

you could jsut test

#

but if you add extra delay it will get worse

zenith sonnet
#

The results would be mroe interesting if they adjusted system latency to be equal in all cases

#

Of course 20ms is better than 100ms

old marlin
#

nvidia slides with data are notoriously unreliable

they actually give an unusual amount of information on those

just now

no wiat

nvm

#

what they said kinda only wokrs for one frame though

#

extremely weird way of saying what they meant

Is there any other reason to increase refresh rate than to decrease latency?

Well, they refused to repair it due to an issue unrelated.

Amazon said we got you fam and refundedd

#

I re ordered during black friday but they had no stock and i lost the discountand refused to pay more than i originally did

#

and now wee are here

#

ffffuck

ordered on the wrong card

#

Not my credit card

#

So no protection

#

ill just email to cancel

#

if they dont ill chargeback

#

its on record i requested cancel

#

And i have credit on my credit card

zenith mirage

It took me phoning 4 different amazon people to ensure I got my phone for the right price. Ordered it a lower proce, got lost in the post, cancelled and told me to reorder. But all the listings were like £70 more at that point which I wasn't going to pay

And the guy who actually sorted it for me was the first non Indian I spoke to. Not to be rude to them because call center jobs suck ass, but I just don't like talking to them. They never quite seem to get what you want

nothing against her but she just sounds like a random shopping channel host trying to sell you a gpu

old marlin

she has kind of a shit position

presenting their achievements first

and then showing how great their most recent product is

a big announcement would be made by lisa su anyways

I dont care, send someone who is comfortable talking please lol

not like this interests me anyways

ashen spindle

yea its not a total disaster but it just makes me sleepy

old marlin

that actually is a big announcement

#

to bad it got almost completely slept on

ashen spindle
#

like it sounds as if she gets fired if she says just one wrong word

old marlin

performance numbers are probably not great due to power

ashen spindle

ye nvidia is really amazing when it comes to power usage

old marlin
#

yup

ashen spindle

ampere should be really nice just because of that

old marlin

too bad mobile gaming still sucks ass

ashen spindle
#

basically 16nm to 7nm for nvidia, and they are already ahead in power/perf

old marlin
#

if they could put their stuff in laptops the since of those 5 years ago they would be awesome

ashen spindle
#

true

old marlin
#

also intel isn;t helping it

#

with their hot af cpus

ashen spindle
#

I just wish they would drop the bs with "desktop-like performance"

old marlin
#

yea

#

won't happen

#

although ryzen is GOOD with temps

ashen spindle
#

yea wow really cool to have performance like my desktop 8100 cpu in a laptop

#

like damn

old marlin
#

yea

#

oh wait

#

nvm

#

9700k

#

not 9900k

ashen spindle
#

uhhh I still dont really see that being true

old marlin
#

not bad I guess

#

multicore heavy

ashen spindle
#

3dmark doesnt really care about threads I thought for the cpu part?

thick elk
#

7900k without hyperthreading

#

so its 16 vs 8 treads

old marlin
#

afaik physics is good with multicore

#

that CPU can kill intel mobile gaming though

thick elk
#

It would all depend on idle power consumption.

#

For a lot of laptops that is still a clear weakpoint on amd

old marlin
#

true

but if it doesn't favor either it should show the problem with intels lineup

ashen spindle
#

oh well no zen 3, too bad

old marlin
#

zen 2 refresh comes first either way

ashen spindle
#

ehh, there isn't really a known refresh of it

old marlin
#

well

there is now

ashen spindle
#

no thats just an apu

old marlin
#

well, yesn't

#

also true

ashen spindle
#

yes but the zen+ on 3000 apu's also aren't exactly zen+ like on higher parts, but we didnt get a zen++

old marlin
#

there are non refresh parts in newer ryzen gens

ashen spindle
#

they have evaded the only question about a zen2+ that I know of

you pay too much for looks

the DH15 will destroy it

it will beat the NH12A
