[crisp granite]

Aeon is a crypto miner

[empty wren]

Wow

Okay

Oh

[reef tundra]

Minimum pay is what all employers offer

[crisp granite]

one of the many scumbags

[young pecan]

Love you too.

[crisp granite]

making GPUs scarce

[empty wren]

Not really a business

[young pecan]

I buy ASICs too. :p

[empty wren]

He does make something

[young pecan]

I do other stuff as well, not just crypto.

[empty wren]

Doubt taxes are reported

[empty wren]

Oh okay

[crisp granite]

https://tenor.com/view/so-butt-sex-butt-sex-bird-creep-creeper-gif-3518799

[wheat plume]

After spending the amount of money he did on hardware for mining.....

[young pecan]

Consultations for network engineering and the such like, it's random spare cash.

But most of it is crypto.

[reef tundra]

Into the ground?

[young pecan]

Fuck yeah.

[crisp granite]

Aeon

[young pecan]

Businessn't

[crisp granite]

so...

[reef tundra]

Just like the british empire

[crisp granite]

when will you hire children to mine in your crypto mines?

[empty wren]

Well is not really doing shady business

[crisp granite]

[empty wren]

So I guess whatever

[reef tundra]

My usual day

[young pecan]

When I start fabbing my own ASICs and need cobalt.

[crisp granite]

based

[empty wren]

Yeah battery thief

[reef tundra]

Enslave children

[crisp granite]

😉

[empty wren]

Nobody is gonna nft children alright

[crisp granite]

...

says you

anyway

Doge pubes

[young pecan]

Buy child and put in the cobalt mines. Attach mined amount of cobalt to the NFT.

[crisp granite]

they got a blockchain

[young pecan]

They're like baseball cards.

[crisp granite]

who wants?

[crisp granite]

👀

[young pecan]

[wheat plume]

Maybe I should just drop out of college and become a cobol developer in America

[crisp granite]

I gotta start collecting then

[reef tundra]

we got the kalash, they get the pickaxe, to get us kalash and cobolt

[wheat plume]

Get paid the big bucks

[young pecan]

Do you want to suffer CBT forever?

Because that's exactly how.

[crisp granite]

yes, actually

[empty wren]

It is livable

Just not great

[young pecan]

COBOL dev?

[crisp granite]

preferably if Lana was doing the actual CBT

😳

[empty wren]

Oh shoot nevermind

[young pecan]

Bruh, that's basically just giving up on life and deciding to embrace CBT.

Make bank but it's fucking COBOL.

[crisp granite]

am I just that advanced?

[wheat plume]

:')

[reef tundra]

IF COBOL THEN
WORK PLS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ENDIF
DIE

[crisp granite]

I might as well learn then

[young pecan]

[crisp granite]

get paid 10k a month by a bank downtown, at least

[young pecan]

Better strats are mine crypto.

[crisp granite]

spend it all on keyboards and instant noodles

[young pecan]

Crypto miner go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[crisp granite]

oh

and rent

yes

definitely rent

[wheat plume]

And they can't fire you
Because if they do, they won't find another cobol developer cause no one knows it

[empty wren]

Could do that one kind of old.system.programmimg

[reef tundra]

Steal from the hopeful and become rich 💰

[young pecan]

The needlessly hopeful make me sick.

[wheat plume]

Eat the rich and spread their wealth to the poor and homeless

[empty wren]

No it cannot be

[reef tundra]

Force them to starve by taking all their money

[empty wren]

It was cobol

[wheat plume]

Even better!!

[empty wren]

I thought there was another lanaguge

Still.used

[reef tundra]

Famines lower morale

[young pecan]

Iirc COBOL is the most ancient programming language still used.

[crisp granite]

no

[wheat plume]

Yep

It is

[empty wren]

Is there a language that begins with r

And not rust

[crisp granite]

murder all those who refuse to work

[wheat plume]

Ruby

[empty wren]

No

[reef tundra]

machine code hand written

on a telephone keypad

[wheat plume]

Xd

Punch cards

[reef tundra]

one by one

[empty wren]

It is also an acronym I believe

[reef tundra]

FORTRAN

[empty wren]

Oh

[wheat plume]

Ooohhh

[empty wren]

BASIC

Does not begin with r though

[reef tundra]

Never number the cards or you might find the order again when you falll with a stack of cards

best left unusable

Remember when you could not just copy a program

[wheat plume]

Ewwwww
Smalltalk is still being used today?!??

Fuck that language

[young pecan]

73k USD is only a midrange income if you live in a place with awful living cost, lmfao.

[empty wren]

Oof a lot of people now make like 40k

So 73k is pretty good

[crisp granite]

here, 100k is a middle class life lol

[empty wren]

Also 400k

[crisp granite]

of course

[young pecan]

Cringe.

[empty wren]

At max

In fbi

[crisp granite]

I live in a place where housing is unaffordable unless you're making 100k a year

so...yeah

[empty wren]

Well okay

That is double essentially

Ah yes living standards

And wages in areas do not also play nicely

Imagine minimum wage in california or new York

That would suck

Probably live in a car

[crisp granite]

not even lmao

[empty wren]

Well maybe eventually

[crisp granite]

tent in the park probably is a stretch at that amount

[empty wren]

Nice

Seems safe

And minimum wwge

Someone has to do it I guess

[crisp granite]

I love slaving away for shit pay

said no one...ever

[empty wren]

It might actually be fun for a few days

But getting stuck there would be awdul

[crisp granite]

I'm working on my fair share

[empty wren]

Unless you were meant to be

Someone might actually want to do that

[crisp granite]

client facing jobs considered essential during a pandemic is a "fuck no" from now on for me

and...people are assholes

[reef tundra]

You should unionise
get some leverage in the negotiations

[crisp granite]

I am in a union kek

my union is just completely useless

[reef tundra]

Union negotiates for all workers here, typically the big three ones for each industry every few years member or not, it applies atleast

[crisp granite]

they just take 10 bucks a week off of my paycheck and hopefully do something for me in return

and no, I can't opt out

I checked

[empty wren]

Wow nice

[crisp granite]

ineffective ones suck

[empty wren]

Union is money grab

[crisp granite]

at least, for the unionised workers

for me, it means jack shit

[reef tundra]

No workers for you

[crisp granite]

SILENCE WHITE-NAME!

anyway

where were we?

[reef tundra]

only the government unions are mandatory, if you are working for the state to negotiate against the state for more rights

[empty wren]

Well at least put leprechaun in charge

[reef tundra]

english are in chat i hear

the scots and irish been bullying too much

[empty wren]

So basically

Both sides profit

And the worker suffers nice

[crisp granite]

it's italians here

what rock have you been living under?

oh, and there's no breaking of kneecaps

[empty wren]

Also why are unions not under workers

[crisp granite]

my union deducts from my pay with or without my consent

[empty wren]

Seems like some organization want to be middle man

[reef tundra]

I chose to give it some money every month because i like their work

[empty wren]

As almost everything is

[reef tundra]

German city states politics

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-eating-popcorn-movie-time-gif-12551924

holy roman empire huh

not so holy nor roman are they

[crisp granite]

german, and sufficently Lutheran to fuck that up

[empty wren]

If it were the people only working there

People would care

Since it is their life

[reef tundra]

Cities infighting pretending to have a empire while trying to kill the rest

[crisp granite]

relatable

[reef tundra]

pope gets in on the action

[crisp granite]

pope loves some good fun murder

[reef tundra]

accidents happen ok

coincidentally when they begin having bad ideas

[empty wren]

Why not push the company to remove the union at least then

[crisp granite]

why do you think I'm here?

[empty wren]

Some people live minimum wage or a bit more for a long time

Surely they would appreciate more money

[empty wren]

Wow

[crisp granite]

less taxes, less social programs

[empty wren]

First time I saw that

[reef tundra]

Crossbow got accidentally pulled with 1000 pounds draw strength and go off in the line of the pope

[empty wren]

Someone sent me that since they thought it was funny

I did not understand it

[crisp granite]

please think of the poor corps

[reef tundra]

who doesnt do that

[empty wren]

Either did they

[crisp granite]

exactly

they're struggling to make ends meet

why do you think they have to short the workers?

[reef tundra]

When you have consumerism and money that is what happens

Looks to be like an attempted redemption of Cyberpunk genre

If Bethesda of all companies nails cyberpunk... man CDPR gon get shafted 😄

[timid chasm]

At least we don't know wtf it's about unlike Cyberpunk where they hyped it for like 10 years

we know space and bethesda so we expect disaster kinda

[cursive summit]

Steam Deck will support up to two 4K screens at 60 Hz through an integrated USB3 Gen2/DisplayPort 1.4 DSC connector. The cable offers up to 45W of charging power, enough to charge the console at full speed and sustain gaming at the same time.

Please do not game on your devices at the same time as charging 😄

It's really not good for the battery

[reef tundra]

More profit for company

[reef patrol]

Why would the battery care? It's not like it's being worn out by the gaming? It's busy charging and then left idle.

[cursive summit]

Well not exactly the same product but

https://consumer.huawei.com/en/community/details/Is-it-ok-to-use-your-phone-while-charging/topicId_78502/

Therefore, it is recommended that you avoid playing large-scale games or watching HD videos while charging your phone. It is ok to choose some low-power applications, such as listening to music or chatting.

Also as the article notes, it wears it out and reduces life span and durability

It's one of those common sense things to do, don't use your phone when charging 😄

I have made that mistake in my life, constantly having my tablet plugged in and gaming on it

Battery wore out fast from constant heat and charging

I mean unless the Deck has some magical 4x 120mm fans as a cooling solution, then it might be fine

People seem really against that idea

But the thing is, this thing doesn't function on a constant power input

It has a battery

Anything with a battery would benefit immensely from improved cooling

[latent mural]

do you get the £4 reservation back if you don't order?

[ionic storm]

Best impulse buy

[reef tundra]

If all fails it gets added to the steam wallet, i guess

seems to be purely for gauging interest and getting more committed buyers

Every damn time I turn them off and reboot it completely ignores me

[ashen spindle]

disconnect the cable

Yeah that's always an option. Though you may need some small pincers or something - or to partially take the cooler apart to reach the connector.

Cant figure out how to run an sql script in the postgres shell

;-;

\i?!

[pale sigil]

What are you using

[wheat plume]

the psql shell

you do use \i but it doesnt have permissions to run the script it seems

[ashen spindle]

https://www.google.com/search?q= run an sql script in the postgres shell

[pale sigil]

Lana

It seems you don't have permission

[wheat plume]

This is for linux AGH, the one time I use windows and this database is primarily made for Linux

xd

[crisp granite]

get pewmission from admin owo

[pale sigil]

So like

Use root

Lol

You don't have perms to create databases

Prob

Or perms for the database

[wheat plume]

I do have the database, im using the default postgres user

[pale sigil]

Then ya doing something wrong

Honestly

Database stuff I only know how to do via Linux in terminal

Maybe it's having perms issues in the dir?

Run cmd as admin?

[crimson wigeon]

Note how it's D: that's permission denied

[pale sigil]

Oh ye

She got denied the D

@wheat plume check perms on the drive

[crimson wigeon]

Maybe flip the \ to / or idk just cd to the correct dir first then do the script ecks dee

[crisp granite]

Cal...

that's on you

[pale sigil]

Why is that

[crisp granite]

well, who would be in a perfect position to deny Lana the D

probably the dude upstairs

😛

[pale sigil]

Are you implying I have a D?

[crisp granite]

I assume you do

[pale sigil]

Did you just assume my sex

Or give up doing server stuff on Windows

(this is licherally what WSL is for!!)

[wheat plume]

We have to use windows :/ We need to run Neo4J later on in the project and I cant be bothered running a database on Linux and the other on Windows when I need both

but it would be far easier on Linux to run postgres it seems

No shit...it was made on Linux and eventually ported to windows

[crimson wigeon]

(WSL.. WSL... WSL...)

[pale sigil]

Right

I know you actually need help here

So @fair gull

I summon thee

Please help her out, its for uni

I know nothing about running databases on Windows

[cursive summit]

On Windows?

Just download mySQL

mySQL and SQL Workbench

[crimson wigeon]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if since the introduction of WSL the native Windows builds of these things are getting more and more neglected

[pale sigil]

She can't use mysql

She has to use post

Actually lana

[cursive summit]

Post... So PHP?

[crimson wigeon]

Ew PHP

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume https://www.pgadmin.org/

[cursive summit]

I'd rather PHP than anything else

[pale sigil]

Sorted

Connect to your dB using PostgreSQL

[ashen spindle]

https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/29767/permission-denied-in-file-trying-to-import

[wheat plume]

Yeah, I did use this to run the script but he says we must only use command line so I will lose some marks for that

[wheat plume]

When I moved the script to the folder that the sql shell exe is in, it said it couldnt find the file

[crimson wigeon]

So it is the \ / as I thought..

[wheat plume]

Hmmm

[pale sigil]

But you can run terminal commands in the gui

[ashen spindle]

so did that fix it or not?

[wheat plume]

🤦‍♀️

Im moron, use /

it was just 3 tables, I manually dropped them

[ashen spindle]

also I never used a database so I literally just put the error message in google and posted the first result, you really need to make use of when it doesn't crash but actually tells you whats going wrong

[wheat plume]

what clusterfuck of a command will all this be?

there is no friends table

at no point does he mention one

[pale sigil]

https://www.sqlshack.com/learn-sql-types-of-relations/

[cursive summit]

Sounds like a lot of left joins

[pale sigil]

I don't miss this at uni

[cursive summit]

I fucking hated understanding joins

[pale sigil]

It was my weakest module I didn't so because my friend did it for me

And got me a high mark

[wheat plume]

We also need to use a cube data type for the genre values

its a multi-dimensional data type!! wow fun!!

[pale sigil]

Everyone also cheated on some of the computer architecture stuff (assembly and cpu instructions) because they used free worksheets that were online with answer sheets

And a student also has his directory open

With his uni work online

Was so easy to find

[wheat plume]

how do cube?

TIL SQL has while loops...

[crimson wigeon]

idk, maybe start by searching "postgresql cube" in the search engine of your choice

[wheat plume]

and if statements...

[ashen spindle]

ngl if you start lievblogging your sql learnings while asking questions it gets really confusing what you actually want to know and what's just a post without further relevance

then I'd embrace console gaming once more...

[ashen spindle]

aint happening

but 3k msrp for rdna3 flagship could be the case

[crisp granite]

I could understand 3k for a FLAGSHIP

but for anything people would legitimately buy, fuck no

1000 for a GPU is a stretch for most gamers, myself included

[reef patrol]

Oh joy. "only" 600GB of backup data to do a fresh Windows install xD

[ashen spindle]

1k for the 6900xt, the 7900xt is gonna be 2 maxed out chiplets on 5nm + a connector on 7 (or smth higher) so my guess is going to be 3k

[misty saffron]

can’t tell if that’s a serious idea or not

because it’s a horrible one

[crisp granite]

indeed

[cursive summit]

Stares at @young pecan

[crisp granite]

best solution is just price your products at prices consumers can actually justify

[reef patrol]

You DO realize that crypto miners mean a significantly higher power bill than your scenario there...right?

[crisp granite]

[ashen spindle]

it's still going to be the same base idea of using their infinity fabric to connect them over a small memory bus, aka the opposite of what crypto would need

[crisp granite]

uh, locke, 3060s are 329 USD

that's pretty solid mid range imo

[misty saffron]

electricity shortage is exactly what we need to complement chip shortage

Lol

yes please

So, apparently we printed too much cash, therefore we are in a pretty shit inflation rn

[pale sigil]

are

sureeee

[cursive summit]

How do we fix that?

Can you in theory just burn cash to fix inflation?

300k, take it or leave it

Any amount of mining will SIGNIFICANTLY change that.

everyone

which should draw barely any power

[pale sigil]

Lol

They actually dont exist

here

wtf

there has only been 6 alrts

for around 420 pounds

[crisp granite]

probably being bought by people as holdovers for when GPU supply improves

[pale sigil]

For RTX 3060s

[crisp granite]

which means...

more issues

down the road

with supply

🙃

[pale sigil]

also lil salty how much cheaper the 5800x is now

only 50 quid more than i paid for my 5600x

yet the 5600x remained the sasme

interesting

I once owned two 5600x

Both on my desk at launch

Sold it for 350

[reef patrol]

Welp... it's gonna be a long one.

[crisp granite]

mmm

squid

I love that stuff

[pale sigil]

you backing up to an IDE?

i moved a lot more the other day lol

i think i moved like 800gb to my NAS

[reef patrol]

It's the user folder. It has a metric shitton of tiny files.

[pale sigil]

i usually make images

[reef patrol]

Appdata and everything. And yes. It is indeed being copied to a spinning drive, though SATA 😄

[pale sigil]

image copies via easeus

easier

[reef patrol]

I don't need an image. I need files. Fresh install, no imagining.

[pale sigil]

i dont mean

um

sec

https://mrpl.me/I75104b_rfs7.mp4

[reef patrol]

If I wanted single file backups, I'd just ask Winrar to make a humongous, uncompressed file.

[pale sigil]

i automate it to but you can do it onnce

i just have it auto transfer to x location and do that

been doing it for years

solid method of data transfer/backup

[reef patrol]

That's way overkill for my needs. I just need a backup of my C (the parts that makes sense) before wiping the entire drive.

[pale sigil]

ye thats what i did in that img you can see

i just click restore and it does everything for me

😄

or well restore on whatever folders i want

not total resotre ofc

[reef patrol]

More steps.

[reef patrol]

You can't backup all of Appdata. Only the non-OS parts. I'm just taking a copy all with skip to get anything I need. Savegames and shit.

[pale sigil]

i get you

[reef patrol]

And of course the actual Games folder on C 😄

[pale sigil]

wdym you cant backup all appdata?

[reef patrol]

It's kind of OS specific. If I install a clean Windows and then restore appdata onto it. Shit's going to break hard 😄

And I risk bringing over shit I wanted to fix.

[pale sigil]

oh haha nah this was an example

i didn't choose appdata specificall

was just showing the menu

hahah a

[pale sigil]

ye no, i only backup appdata for stuff like betterdiscord and saves

[reef patrol]

I #¤%#¤ hate how devs have begun to use Appdata to store shit.

1. Hidden holders that most users don't know exist and don't backup.

2. There are THREE different appdata subfolders.

3. Keep your shit in Documents or the app's root folder you assholes 😄

[pale sigil]

Bro

Same

WHY APPDATA

YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE?

HOW GAMES KEEP USING /DOCUMENTS

AND NOT DOCUMENTS/GAMES/GAME_NAME

[ashen spindle]

because appdata is hidden means a dumb user is less likely to delete shit they dont actually want to delete

[reef patrol]

4. %appdata% points specifically to the /roaming subfolder, not Appdata itself.

Come on Microsoft. At least be consistent about your shittiness.

[pale sigil]

like ffs

[crimson wigeon]

Or how about just the Saved Games folder introduced back in Vista

[pale sigil]

I had like 100 folders for different games

pissed me off royaly

FREAKING BETA

[fair gull]

bro im spending time with my gf

[crisp granite]

put the bottle down

please

[ashen spindle]

dw the answer was to just google it

[ionic storm]

so amazon gave me $100 for free essentially

already found a use for about $30

[pale sigil]

wootrest?

[ionic storm]

what should I get with the rest?

[pale sigil]

knew it xD

[ionic storm]

you can get that on amazon?

[pale sigil]

afaik

[ionic storm]

don't see it here

[cursive summit]

There was one decision that ruined everything

SELLING JET ENGINES TO SOVIET UNION

[cursive summit]

Oh shit

Meze Audio launches first closed-back headphone powered by Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver

Retailing for $2000/€2000/1850 GBP.

[ionic storm]

but can I get them on amazon for under $70?

[cursive summit]

Absolutely

[wheat plume]

whats this hole for?

[crisp granite]

[cursive summit]

That's.. accents.. Lana

[ionic storm]

you 🙃

[crisp granite]

I...may buy one

[wheat plume]

xd

[crisp granite]

only 2000€

[cursive summit]

It's a closed back though

[crisp granite]

open backs allow me to hear others while I'm doing my thing

FUCK NO

[cursive summit]

Funnily enough that's why I like open backs

[crisp granite]

I want to zone out when I'm doing stuff at my PC

[ashen spindle]

just set it up for them and make sure the mining is sent to your wallet then

[ionic storm]

not a problem if you get rid of these "others"

[crisp granite]

ah yes

[cursive summit]

As much as I would love to do that, I have someone calling my name every 10 mins and they get pissed if I don't hear them

[crisp granite]

I'll just kill my parents and siblings

that'll go over well

[cursive summit]

Nah just donate them to charity

[crisp granite]

can't afford to move, so that's not an option

:|

[ionic storm]

It's only illegal if someone finds out

[crisp granite]

in cyberpunk 2077, the only thing that makes someone a criminal

is getting caught

[cursive summit]

Getting cock*

[ionic storm]

👀

anyone have suggestions tho?

cool amazon thing under $70

preferably random tech thing

but open to other stuff

[ashen spindle]

food snacks, raspberry pi things

[crisp granite]

the huntsman v2 analog?

no clue

[ashen spindle]

some usb drive or other external medium you could make use of

[crisp granite]

it was 100 CAD off the usual price though

pinkward

here's my 2 cents

get

[ionic storm]

preferably things that are cost-effective to get on amazon lol

[crisp granite]

MAYONAISE

[ionic storm]

so not food

[crisp granite]

or stickers

stickers are pog

the adhesive is delicious

[ashen spindle]

I mean not raw meat but something exotic that your local stores might not have

[ionic storm]

don't think I'm spending $70 on stickers either lol

[cursive summit]

Funny thing about USB drives, I was so used to spending 10$ for 4GB drives back in 2010 and never needing to replace them, I forgot what the pricing was.

I was in awe when I saw 256GB flash sticks for 20$

Or 70 nights with your sister

[crisp granite]

...

not cool

[ionic storm]

actually this reminded me

I want to get a pair of arms for my tablets

thanks

lol

• laughs in skypad xl *

[crisp granite]

laughs in trackball mice suck

[ionic storm]

I need to find an arm of a particular shape though

needs to go from the back edge of my desk straight out under my screens

[crisp granite]

razer mice nowadays are pretty solid

fite me

[ionic storm]

and sit low enough that my tablets don't block my screen but high enough that my hands don't hit them

basically something like this with a longer arm and clamp mount

not super long though like the one I have by my bed

hmmmm

https://www.amazon.com/Photomyne-Flexible-inches-22-5x22-5-Scanning/dp/B08PDCDGY9/

this is looking hopeful...

if it can fit a tablet

see I'm working with limited room

[young pecan]

👀

[ionic storm]

I'm trying to mount both my 12.4 inch and 11 inch tablet above my desk but under my screens

[cursive summit]

Hold them both with your hands

Free solution

[ionic storm]

might have to move my speakers out to the sides a little bit

[ionic storm]

use the 100 free dollars amazon gave me

free solution

[cursive summit]

How does one get free 100$

Pls teach master

[ionic storm]

targeted promotion

[cursive summit]

So, you need to get shot?

Ok, with what? 9mm?

[ionic storm]

are your screens at the recommended ergonomic height though?

cuz there should be quite a bit of room if so

kek

[cursive summit]

#archived_wootstations message

[cursive summit]

Real OG of that game was the chick that tried to jump off of the school

Clearly knew she had to erase herself from that game just cause of how bad it was

[ionic storm]

I'll fucking fuck you up just give me a time and place

[cursive summit]

Right behind you, right now, busta

[young pecan]

Ngl if we’re taking awful games why aren’t we talking TLoU2?

That game was absolutely bottom tier scum.

[cursive summit]

We don't talk about that one

[ionic storm]

but you don't have room for a tablet?

[young pecan]

[ionic storm]

what do you have? a 55" screen?

oh

fuck portrait

lol

[cursive summit]

How to sell your game 101, according to Naughty Dog and Neil "drunk" Druckmann

JOEL DIES

https://tenor.com/view/not-stonks-profit-down-sad-frown-arms-crossed-gif-15684535

[young pecan]

Bruh, you can’t seriously stand up for that game.

The only good parts were everything aside from the story.

Such a confused mess of a revenge quest with such poor execution. Ugh.

[cursive summit]

You know what made me cry? The pity for everyone who spent a cent on that game when you weren't able to kill the shitstain who killed Joel

[ionic storm]

the plus side of refusing to play console exclusives is that I have no clue what you guys are talking about

[young pecan]

Bruh. Remember everyone trying to get Abby killed at the end?

And the sheer sadness that you can’t do it.

Game was so bad.

Now if you really wanna cry and feel awful in a game because of the emotions...

NieR Automata.

I cannot suck the cock of Yoko Taro’s team hard enough.

NieR Automata is 10/10 easily.

Basically, yeah.

Good description.

All it is is a shitty revenge quest with a poorly made character for reasons I guess. As far as the story is concerned I’d maybe rate it as 5/10.

[cursive summit]

Imma yeet that description before Callum decides to get butthurt over spoilers for a trash game

[young pecan]

Rest of the game is amazing tho. Easily 8 or 9/10.

Just the story ruining it.

[cursive summit]

I mean it has GOTY levels of animation and music

[ionic storm]

jesus these look good but the price https://www.amazon.com/ChargerCity-Aluminum-Microphone-Surface-Tablets/dp/B00FFLK7AM/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=tablet+mount+clamp&qid=1636840329&sr=8-8

[young pecan]

Yes.

Fuck, the sound design is good.

[cursive summit]

I wonder who was responsible for the story

Oh

Well that explains it

[young pecan]

Yep.

[cursive summit]

The fact that Halley wrote Westworld

Makes me think she had 0 to do with TLoU2

And Druck just asked her to fix his grammar

[ionic storm]

owo what's this? https://www.amazon.com/Tabletop-Arm-Mount-Routing-Tablets/dp/B01BIJYJ80/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=tablet+mount+clamp&qid=1636840329&sr=8-10

don't like how thick the parts that grab the tablet are but otherwise

looks solid . . .

[young pecan]

Chairman Drek Druckman was defo causing problems he didn’t need to cause, yeah.

[cursive summit]

I mean wtf

It deserves none of that

[young pecan]

Best narrative.

[cursive summit]

Alyx did better and even that was mostly a shooter

[crimson wigeon]

SuBvErTiNg ExPeCtAtIoNs?

[cursive summit]

Expectations: Good game
Result: lose everything

[young pecan]

[cursive summit]

I call that, an epic loss

Therefore award worthy

Here, have a pity gift

Since your game flopped

[young pecan]

Game awards are such a joke.

Like someone explain this.

This is NieR Automata.

What the fuck?

[cursive summit]

Idk never played it

[young pecan]

You should.

It’s very, very good.

[cursive summit]

Don't like soulsborne

[young pecan]

Ok boomer.

[cursive summit]

Only souls like I might try is good ole Elden Ring

[crimson wigeon]

OOOOOOHHH

[young pecan]

See, it’s not a soulsborne.

The game is very different to a lot of modern titles, but the story is where it shines. Easily one of the best stories I’ve seen in a game.

Nah. Tsushima was really good.

Had a nice story with good gameplay. Plus the world was beautiful. Idk how you call it meh. I wouldn’t say it’s 10/10 or anything, but it’s absolutely an 8 or 9.

[cursive summit]

Nice story, audio, gameplay design, animations, world building, etc? Surely you must be talking about the one and only

https://tenor.com/view/skyrim-margin-awake-marginskyrim-gif-20155428

[young pecan]

Lmfao. Why do we want exclusives?

[pale sigil]

i used to like using the gif button

https://mrpl.me/k65111b_rfO9.mp4

[young pecan]

F

Maybe a problem with one of your plugins?

[cursive summit]

One day we might get there

[pale sigil]

nope its not

[pale sigil]

nah never

[cursive summit]

https://tenor.com/view/tangled-explain-maximus-horse-peeved-gif-11708683

[pale sigil]

[cursive summit]

Explain your words and actions

[pale sigil]

i mean inspect the channel perms

[young pecan]

Iirc it’s specific people allowed.

[pale sigil]

[cursive summit]

Eh?

I can't?

[pale sigil]

[ionic storm]

[cursive summit]

Right click WHAT?

It's a screenshot of your screen

[young pecan]

@pale sigil Pleb doesn’t have the plugin.

[cursive summit]

No I don't use better Discord

[ionic storm]

[pale sigil]

https://mrpl.me/Z45113b_rfK1.mp4

[cursive summit]

https://mrpl.me/P95115b_rfR4.mp4

[young pecan]

Yeah this. I ‘member.

[pale sigil]

you where in hideout?

[cursive summit]

I can see where Wooting's Razer spies meet with Woot devs

[young pecan]

I wonder if the channel description is still the same.

[young pecan]

No, but I remember randomly finding it.

[pale sigil]

should have said ye

was gonna add you back

LMAO

to late now

[young pecan]

I know.

[cursive summit]

How does one actually hideout

[young pecan]

But I choose not to be a dick needlessly.

:p

[pale sigil]

idk but welcome @crisp granite

[pale sigil]

i considered adding you once

but you umm

pissed everyone off

[young pecan]

[cursive summit]

China?

[pale sigil]

Dont even

[young pecan]

That’s one of the major reasons I didn’t try and BS my way in. I can smell the leather from here.

[cursive summit]

Did everyone actually get pissed?

[pale sigil]

Yes

I HAD TO DEFEND YOU SO MANY TIMES

[young pecan]

Can I get some lore for this?

I need lore.

[cursive summit]

Mission critical... success?

Idk

[ionic storm]

Anyone ever try this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098WW36GY/

I kinda want it

[pale sigil]

Mansen is on

Hide

@ionic storm are you US?

[ionic storm]

yes, why?

[pale sigil]

shame

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wooting-Keyboard-Wrist-Silicone-Skin-Friendly/dp/B087488C29

[ionic storm]

yeah but I want the full sized black one

stocks still not updated for US

:(

WAIT

IT IS NOW?

https://na.wooting.store/products/wooting-wrist-rest

f

[young pecan]

My current wrist rest I got from Calder.

Purchased a WootingTwo from him and he tossed in some rando rests. Very pog.

[ionic storm]

wait what

I mean technically we all purchased our keyboards from him lol

[pale sigil]

aye i got mine to from calder

well

[young pecan]

He was moving house and ended up selling some boards. :p

[pale sigil]

without the keeb and price tag

ye he cleared out a bunch of stuff

moving house is um

[ionic storm]

ah nice

[pale sigil]

an understatement'

[ionic storm]

why's that?

[pale sigil]

he moved continent

lol

[ionic storm]

oooh right

[young pecan]

All I’m hearing is moving house enthusiastically.

Oh holy fuck.

Walked downstairs and it’s like... 50 degrees.

Nah. It only takes once to learn that you gotta balance your resources.

@ionic storm Oh btw, the wristrest is kinda awesome.

[timid chasm]

Nah, you just need a man to consistently move it all to the new place every time you move

[ionic storm]

which wrist rest?

[timid chasm]

or so that's my wifes theory

[ionic storm]

god that was fun to type

[young pecan]

Still getting used to it, but there is absolutely the freedom of it now.

I see the demand.

[ionic storm]

the wooting?

[young pecan]

Deltahub.

[ionic storm]

OOOOOOOH

[young pecan]

Yeah.

[ionic storm]

RIGHT THAT WAS YOU

[young pecan]

Yep.

[ionic storm]

soooo good right?

game changer

literally

[young pecan]

Weirdly good, yeah.

[ionic storm]

😆

[young pecan]

Accuracy is a little down, but I can feel myself getting used to it.

[pale sigil]

i think atm

most of my shit is Wooting now

[cursive summit]

https://www.techradar.com/news/cryptominers-now-gobbling-up-amd-cpus-because-graphics-cards-are-too-expensive

[ionic storm]

context for people who don't know: https://deltahub.io/products/carpio-2

[young pecan]

Lmao no.

[pale sigil]

Stickers, wrist wrest, spare keebs, lekker, one, switche and other misc stuff

[cursive summit]

I mean, they are actually retarded

[pale sigil]

and my 65%

i binned everything else

[young pecan]

@cursive summit Only the 3900X is getting hit rn.

[pale sigil]

tho i have lots of gateron switches

[timid chasm]

Just need a wireless wooting and I'll be complete

[young pecan]

The rest of the stuff isn't efficient.

[ionic storm]

how long have you been using now?

[young pecan]

4 days.

[ionic storm]

yah give it a couple weeks at least

your accuracy will go back up

[young pecan]

Kek, I got in at 1.5 cents.

[pale sigil]

accuracy would improve regardless

cos its bad anyway

for me

[ionic storm]

the way I think of it now is I grip my mouse as lightly as possible and aim my whole wrist/hand from my arm

[pale sigil]

I used to have 91% accuracy with snipers @young pecan 91 FREAKING %

i stopped playing compet for a few months and i cant get back

[young pecan]

I'd guess 40% sniper accuracy.

[reef patrol]

You're too old, bish.

[ionic storm]

What's this?

[young pecan]

Never could do sniping.

[young pecan]

Raptoreum.

[timid chasm]

What Mansen said

[ionic storm]

lol

[young pecan]

I'm up 2.5 grand in 3 days. So pog.

[timid chasm]

too old and too slow

[pale sigil]

My mate made $8k from a few hundred

with some domain blockchain shit

[young pecan]

Epic.

[pale sigil]

something like buy a domain months ago for a few hundred with the promise of reward

he got the reward

[ionic storm]

damn

how'd you get in so early?

[pale sigil]

$8k in ENS

[young pecan]

I tend to research. :p

[pale sigil]

https://ens.domains/

[young pecan]

Needed my CPUs around the house to be mining, turns out RTM was a good choice.

[pale sigil]

he also has $4.5k in ETH atm

which he started at a few hundred years age

[young pecan]

22 billion max supply, ghostrider algo, etc. I read that white paper and the currency is sound.

[pale sigil]

so are gpus so last year?

[young pecan]

Theoretically it's possible for $10 USD eventually.

There's enough money for it to happen easily, the only question will be in how much utility does RTM end up getting.

[young pecan]

Fuck nah. If you can get em Eth is still bullish.

[timid chasm]

and some alt coins have weird spikes on gpus like 2080's if you look to min-max

[young pecan]

And any GDDR5X GPUs, yeah.

[reef patrol]

Welp. Fresh Win11 install. No more video flicker. So that's nice.

[timid chasm]

eth still king on 3090 though it seems

haven't seen anything higher than it for quite sometime

[young pecan]

If you can manage the heat output sure.

[timid chasm]

soon to be winter, free heat

[young pecan]

All of those cards need repadding and a lot of free room. Too much heat on the back chips.

[pale sigil]

@young pecan can you send me a pic if your gpu torture chamber

[young pecan]

Sec.

[pale sigil]

1

[young pecan]

Not well done, but that’s to be expected since I’m cleaning Beta out and actually doing my cable management well next weekend.

Finally finished after 2 months of buying GPUs.

[pale sigil]

Thanks needed for my anti miner campaign

[young pecan]

[pale sigil]

Showing my friends why he can't get a GPU

[young pecan]

He can't get a GPU because he isn't looking.

[pale sigil]

"I just need one lol"

[young pecan]

All of the cards in that system are second hand. :p

[pale sigil]

Bitch I have alerts set up everywhere xD

Problem is they cost hundreds over

[young pecan]

rolls eyes That doesn't matter to me.

You aren't mining on the cards, I am.

So the couple hundred over is an acceptable loss.

[pale sigil]

My 3080 sells for £300 more than I paid and everyone laughed at me

[young pecan]

I always tell people that if you want a card then find someone on Marketplace or some other gray market, offer cash pickup, make a sob story, and then mine on the card to reclaim some of your loss.

It won't be MSRP, but it will be fast and profitable over time.

[pale sigil]

Mining just isn't viable for peeps like me

[young pecan]

shrugs I don't have much to say aside from check all of your options.

[pale sigil]

I mean im good personally

[young pecan]

Hosting, ASICs, etc. If there's a will there's a way.
