the question is... why does it need to look nice if its under a heat sink anyway
wheat plume
SSDs with that capacity need heatsinks?

fair gull
its not the size which heats em
its the read/write usage
they dont just get hot out of nowhere

hmm, is there a way to check their temps?

Is pressure sensitivity how laptop touchpads now you tapped to do a left click?
reef patrol
Pressure sensitivity and/or electro...uh... something. Basically it can feel you're pressing it somewhere specific due to electrical currents that the fingers are interfering with. This is also why you often can't use gloves or mittens on touch screens.
ashen spindle
just like phones
reef patrol
Which is a godsend. Cause old touchscreens kind of forced you to push hard into them to sense pressure. And they were not very accurate or fast ๐
empty wren
Then trim em down
old marlin
do you use powerplay?
arctic hedge
I do
arctic hedge
the powerplay puck weights a bit more than the stock one
so this printed bottom completely undoes that difference, and then some
old marlin
yea but without it you get rid of the magnets etc as well
if you go that agressive with weight reduction you might as well get free mousepad choice
and like 8 less grams still
arctic hedge
true, but it's light enough as is
arctic hedge
as for mouse pad I use a piece of leather as a pad
arctic hedge
it just has to be the same size as the base
arctic hedge
rip
fair gull
Which is a godsend. Cause old touchscreens kind of forced you to push hard into ...
cause they are resistive touch. the 3ds and new 2ds etc still use resistive touch where you basically press together 2 thin foils to register touch

is there even anything besides firefox and it's direct forks left on windows/linux that doesn't run chromium?
wheat plume
Epiphany
It can't handle YouTube though
And there are no extensions for it other than built in ad and tracker blocking
wheat plume
Xd
old marlin
yea instead it is the one that only lives because it is enforced in parts of a certain ecosystem
much better
old marlin
yea it just breaks every so often
which makes it useless for me
stuff like youtube randomly not working for 3 days
cause they broke it
or it being insanely slow for an update
windows
I have swapped to and from firefox like 3 times in the last 5 years
yea uhhh
I rarely have more than 10 tabs open at once
similar for me ig
replace opera and brave with different firefox and chrome forks though
and I ended up at regular ass chrome again
wheat plume
Firefox handles YouTube better than chrome does xd
Except it doesn't like using my media keys to skip or go back a video in a playlist
So I sandboxed YouTube using Chrome and it works fine
old marlin
my network was limited to 100mbps
replugged my dock
now reports as 1.2gbps
still limits to 100mbps
wheat plume
It tends to handle resuming a video after a wifi disconnect or slow down much better than chrome
In Chrome I need to usually refresh the page
In Firefox, I just got to rewind the video like 20 seconds or so and it'll start preloading like normal again
The one at this house usually doesn't disconnect
But it can drop down to basically non existent speeds randomly like once or twice a week
fair gull
so technerds
have a z87-g43 from msi
flashed the rom already with trusty desoldering, flashing and soldering back on the bios
it did its reset routine going through a ton of post codes
(read via a pci debug card)
but now its stuck on 00 again
my assumption would be dead cpu
any other ideas?
ashen spindle
does it start being stuck on 00?
fair gull
yes
ashen spindle
hm yea cpu sounds likely, hard to tell though
fair gull
just surprised it got through a few codes checking kbd etc after a flash
then did the turn off as if cmos was reset
and after that it was back to only 00
dont even have a second 1150 board

seasonix SGX is their sfx family iirc
reef tundra
preferably one with a nice *crackle*
and a nice pop at the end as the magic smoke gets released?
timid chasm
or just a reliable source for reviews I guess. I dunno if tier lists are still a thing or reliable or not anymore. I guess as long as it doesn't explode and kill a 3090 ๐
timid chasm
and a nice pop at the end as the magic smoke gets released?
I think that's a Gigabyte exclusive, tbh
reef tundra
I think that's a Gigabyte exclusive, tbh
ashen spindle
I mean see what you can find from a brand like seasonic/corsair etc. that has gold rating or higher
reef tundra
I got a bequiet. I think
ashen spindle
dont think any of the failing psus had a rating of platinum yet
timid chasm
impossible, you could never be quiet
Why can't the affordable ones (cheap) be the good brands, heh
astral haven
dont think any of the failing psus had a rating of platinum yet
Cheap platinums are very good at dying on their own
Lots of cheap capacitors is a bad time
astral haven
Why can't the affordable ones (cheap) be the good brands, heh
Electrical engineers are expensive
ashen spindle
fair I guess that's something I just expected, if a plat psu is cheaper than gold rating it's probably a bad sign lol
timid chasm
Well it's this or an ITX board and the price range for decent seem to be similar
reef tundra
electrolytic capacitor just suck
astral haven
fair I guess that's something I just expected, if a plat psu is cheaper than gol...
Well I don't mean outright lies
astral haven
electrolytic capacitor just suck
Electrolytics are required for psus
reef tundra
Electrolytics are required for psus
Not required, just the only one available with enough capacity in small enough package
astral haven
It isn't possible to make an atx psu of over 700 watts without electrolytics
It's theoretically possible with atx12vo
ashen spindle
as for reviews, yeah not an easy topic, TPU has links to reviews but a lot of psu revies seem to be in russia or from russian speaking sites lol
astral haven
Tom's hardware psu testing is gud (at least it was a year ago)
And gn and ltt are both working on their setups
ashen spindle
igor still does some but not much last I checked
(the old toms hardware DE people)
astral haven
Igor's site has problematic English translations
ashen spindle
TH is something I just cant trust with how they chose to publish articles lol
astral haven
Aris is the toms hardware psu reviewer
astral haven
Anyways ignoring a reviewer because they work for a company with editors who make bad takes is really short sighted
ashen spindle
well I didn't know they would work so independently tbh
and for quite some time TH did just block me outright for using adblock so I couldn't check, but that's one me lol
timid chasm
bequiet doesn't have sfx with enough wattage, sad face
astral haven
There aren't many platforms, and the only problematic ones are the non l silverstones
ashen spindle
but speaking of the LTT lab, I wonder if they can entice some big names like Jonny guru to come back from the corporate realm, could be nice for a quick headstart of the project
astral haven
But yea my sf750 from Corsair ran a 9900k oc and 2080ti pretty happily
It noped on the 3090 tho
timid chasm
really?
astral haven
but speaking of the LTT lab, I wonder if they can entice some big names like Jon...
7 figure salaries means industry folks
ashen spindle
also if you think you might upgrade gpu next gen maybe, get a bigger one lol
astral haven
There isn't much beyond 750 sadly
timid chasm
by the time the 3090 needs to be upgraded I'll be able to buy whatever most likely right now I'm just trying to fit in a case for convenience
ashen spindle
well sure they might still not be as good for payroll, but still solid income and better than their old options, so if someone of them won't mind it they might want to do it for personal reasons
astral haven
Yes
The point is
Linus is spending 7 figures on the people
So it's gotta be existing industry folks
timid chasm
It noped on the 3090 tho
Just kept shutting down or what? I've been running the 3090 fine on a fractal design 750 but I have a 3700x not a 9900k
astral haven
It ran alot cooler than my 5950x :(
Well yea
The 9900k peaks at 300 like the 3090 peaks at 600
ashen spindle
wonder if Ian will cave in and join the Lab too after a bit, Anandtech is in bit of a rough spot from publisher decisions and such
now that Andrei is gone too
astral haven
Saj
Dunno if the lab needs Ian
Ian is more of a host
Ltt would be better off with Ian as a writer or interviewer
ashen spindle
yes that's what I had in mind
he's really good at interviews and digging deep with questions
and writes quite good which can be useful to translate data into an article for the mass
astral haven
For labs, I really don't think that Linus wants to focus on molecular dynamics lmao
ashen spindle
I mean, not like Ian is doing that at AT either lol
astral haven
It's the only benchmark that at has and noone else does properly
I suppose an argument could be made that the spec benchmarks cover that, but that's a stretch
ashen spindle
well, sounds like it would give the lab more reach to the more industrial audiences with it then
either way, excited to see what they come up with
astral haven
Yea but that's not the point of labs
ashen spindle
speaking of psus
looks like we're now starting to see the actual first version with proper pcie5 specs
even in SFX lol
astral haven
Sure
But I ain't upgrading my ax1600i
Per rail current monitoring that works at least 30% of the time is sweet
ashen spindle
yet
astral haven
I ain't upgrading for a while
ashen spindle
ik im just joking, even next gen is not going to be that bad lol
astral haven
Tho actually my system with it's 6 pcie x8 slots can easily fit enough GPUs to trip ocp
And I own enough highish power GPUs to do it
aka a 3090
ashen spindle
I cant wait for the amount of people that will realize with next gen that a cheap psu will break if you use high end cards lol
astral haven
I really wish Nvidia would make up their mind about power limits
Either enforce it or don't
Don't half ass it like 30 series
ashen spindle
nah that would be too logical
astral haven
Make board partners put caps on the low side
ashen spindle
thats another point, wonder if they will try to just completely bully board partners out of the market with new gens
or if they will use them to be the scapegoat when prices go higher
astral haven
I really never understood why Nvidia did board partners
Like I'm happy EVGA exists
But those margins could be Nvidias???
timid chasm
I won't complain about EVGA but don't know if I care about the rest. EVGA has done me right too many times with out of warranty RMAs lol
ashen spindle
maybe they didnt want to deal with as much customer support for non HPC markets, or with distribution etc.
astral haven
So why are they selling them now?
ashen spindle
well for the most part they aren't lol
astral haven
Well
They are now is the problem
ashen spindle
not really, FE cards are sold in much lower amounts than aib cards
because they cant raise FE card costs
but they can make AiBs pay more
astral haven
Not according to gpu-z
The most common card models of at least the 3080 and 3090 were fe
ashen spindle
based on the amounts that are in stores and how many milliseconds it takes for a monthly FE restock to be sold out I assumed it would be different
I guess on the 3090 they already have much higher profit margins
ashen spindle
given I can regularly get a piece of it with human inputs ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ but yeah fair point
astral haven
It's proportional to how many more people are aware of the drop than there are cards available
Anyways
Steam deck hype
astral haven
Deckard less hype
Amd ain't got shit strong enough yet
ashen spindle
I want to upgrade from my CV1 Rift and with deckard so close I really dont want an index now lol
astral haven
Only strong enough socs that won't melt our faces off are the m1 pro and the Nvidia Orion
And neither of those are happening
ashen spindle
not even for the standalone options, thats just nice addon I probably will never use
astral haven
Meh just hack a quest
ashen spindle

ashen spindle
well, part of work includes working on games lol
I just want something high end to replace my rift with before meta login is forced lol
astral haven
Working on games still requires static hud elements
And the meta login isn't forced if you try hard enough
ashen spindle
ehh, both projects I've touched so far had barely any static elements
astral haven
The projects themselves don't
The debugging tools do
Unless you are just testing
In which case, it's better to get the most common device
ashen spindle
I don't work at a AAA studio where we'd actually use something like that 
astral haven
Oh geez
ashen spindle
that would be something further down the list of things I think are missing that should be done lol
ashen spindle
nah Index is still using Cables, want a wireless HMD preferably,
reef tundra
Which Steam Deck model is that one. The 512GB model advertises "Premium anti-glare etched glass" which might influence the results.
thick elk
Owning a index, I personally really do not mind the cable, it gives me a sense of orientation, especially since my room is not large enough for room scale
reef tundra
thick elk
also I doubt the anti glare coating influences these things
or at least to a significant degree
they just saved cost on the panel, I guess sourcing a good 720p panel can be quite difficult unless you custom order them which probably would not make sense at this point
Nintendo is a large enough customer here to do just that but valve is not. Nor was Nintendo when they first launched the switch.
reef tundra
Not sure what kind of technique the sensor is using. Nor if the technique used is able to mitigate the effects. Could be interesting to see if and by how much the difference is however 
Also how noticeable is the difference practically. How much worse is 68% compared to 91.9%? Like barely noticeable or significantly different?

terrible software

they want to go to digitally signing invoices in my company
so we don't print and scan them like 3 times each
but if a customer adds a digital signature to an invoice we have to print to pdf and reopen it to remove it
now gl to me explaining that to the relevant people
reef patrol
PDF - Stop trying to fucking edit me. The format.
old marlin
yea I hate it
oh also
stamps are always on the top layer
no matter what you do
so you wanna add a signature above a stamp
but not embedded in it?
yea no
not possible
gg
unless you use scripts to flatten the stamp into the pdf
fair gull
the obvious solution is to use pdf24 for those tasks
old marlin
the site looks like a meme
ik ghostscript can do it
but that decides to kill itself every now and then
got replaced by some python script in my company
which does a lot more than I need
can it do that automatically?
fair gull
pdf24 is literally free adobe acrobt pro but somewhat better and somewhat worse
the editor isnt super feature rich
but the tool itself can do loads
fair gull
then invest in abby
thick elk
PDF should be used as a view only format mostly.
PDF forms sure, they are actually reasonably supported now but that should be about it.
old marlin
then invest in abby
the money is not the problem
with acrobat you are unable to put a signature on an already signed document
and you can't just delete the signature
you gotta print it as a pdf
and open it again
at that point they might as well start printing it out and scanning it again like they used to
thick elk
Maybe just have an image with a signature and use a PDF from with an image field, should work.
fair gull

Oh right ye

cheapest card i can grt from distrib rn
for 1046.63 without vat
ashen spindle

ashen spindle
nah never was, that was the USD price
fair gull
welp seems to be around most aib msrp
all around 1200-1300
so prices did do normalize
ashen spindle
10 or 12gb models?
fair gull
10
old marlin
cheapest 12 is 1389 atm
ashen spindle
well, I wouldn't call it normalized prices if it normalized above what it should be lol
fair gull
12gb models are listed for 1700 on nvidias site

next gen comes end of year
fair gull
and is even more expensive hell ya
ashen spindle
you think the 90ti wouldnt be? lol
at least next gen you get something more for the money unlike with that card
fair gull
i only hoped that the ti has more vram
cause
compute wise im fine with my 2080ti
just
neural networks eat that vram like candy
sure i can go from 11 to 12gb
but thats like not much
fair gull
tensorflow no like absence of tensor cores
also cuda ya
altho amd did make ai accelerator cards
unsure what framework i need to learn for those tho
old marlin
so ill never buy a new gpu
which one do you even want
and how much do you wanna pay
fair gull
idc how much really
ashen spindle
unsure what framework i need to learn for those tho
fair gull
i just dont see a point in 3090 rn if ti is up in the air
and idk what 40series brings
ashen spindle
or intels oneAPI that works on all cards
ashen spindle
at this point 90ti might just be practice time for board partners to get next gen power budgets under control lol
fair gull
i also though of buying a second 2080ti and using that one rtx sli mode that combines vram
old marlin
at this point 90ti might just be practice time for board partners to get next ge...

but apparently even they have trouble finding shit out about it
fair gull
also im prepared to pay a good 4 or 5k on a really high end gpu for gaming and ai work
old marlin
please don't
ashen spindle
well on the good side, next gen high end might cos you that much so it wont be scalped as much 
ashen spindle
nah for next gen, not the 90ti
old marlin

ashen spindle
I don't expect msrp of the 7900xt to be under 2k

depending on that ill just buy a 3090 and maybe even new cpu/mobo combo

ohmy, first benchmarks of the ryzen 6000 mobile apu series is VERY promising, even beating a mobile nvidia 3060/3070
or.. is that because it has a dedicated gpu.. ๐ค
yes it is.. ahwell
crimson wigeon
Yes-ish, it runs the native EAC Linux client module, that's why developers have to specifically enable it
wheat plume
Devs must send an email to Epic to enable it on a per game basis

If using EOSEAC then theoretically this is all that needs to be done, with legacy EAC they have to add a magic file as well

since it is easy af to bypass anticheats on linnux
but if it just runs in proton it is even stupider
I wonder how hard it is to separate EAC out
and make it run in WSL2

Oh yeah that's definitely something that has to be tested omegalul

you'd probably need an additional translation layer
so it can speak to the game running in windows

Hmm Eve making glossy monitor too and how much hype there is around
Kinda annoying since when I was trying to push for it in community almost everyone said itโs a bad idea and suddenly
ashen spindle
not quite sure why you'd want a glossy monitor, if contrast is too low go get oled or something
I'd rather not have a super reflective screen to look at
shadow minnow
Myself overall donโt really mind reflectivness, used to it, and screen itself just looks way better.
Sure OLED would be better but atm burn in for desktop
And also when this is the difference
ashen spindle
in that case get better blinds since its shit in both cases lol
shadow minnow
Well sure but imo right looks better xD
ashen spindle
idk to me it just sounds like a solution to problems that hardly exist or are solved already
shadow minnow
Itโs not the best solution ngl but still kinda prefer it over no solution which is mostly what you can get atm.

solution to what?
shadow minnow
Luckily I never had to worried about that

what problem is it solving
shadow minnow
I mean itโs kinda solving contrast. Itโs not somving it but at least making it better for same screen
Ngl itโs not a solution just making the problem not as bad
Hopefully we will get real solutions soon
ashen spindle
the solution to lower contrast is called oled

Yeah, just canโt really get ones for gaming for 27โ and also burn in
But QD OLED comes closer and is more available
And however it is called now, thing with quantum dots emitting themselves should be even better
final flame
doesn't have to be a "gaming" monitor
shadow minnow
doesn't have to be a "gaming" monitor
True but would want it to be 27โ 4K 120hz+
Bigger issue is burn in for now
final flame
burn in isn't as much of an issue if you properly take care of the display
like lowering brightness and turning it off when not in use
shadow minnow
I mean yeah but for desktop use it is not the best for some usecases. It may still happen, and is with some usecases quite likely.
Since you often have solid elements for long time like some games
final flame
not to mention a OLED for your use case wouldn't be good because they lack brightness other panel types have
shadow minnow
OLED brightness for me would be enough for desktop monitor tbh
Though for laptop it definitely not enough
But where I have monitor placed donโt really need high brightness
ashen spindle
im just happy the first qd oled screen is coming in the format I want lol
now heres to hope it's not ending up to be a shit product
shadow minnow
Yeah the QD OLED screen looks cool.
Not format I want but not like I wanted to spend money on new monitor anytime soon nontheless xD
ashen spindle
shouldnt yout first look to get a gpu that can actually power a monitor
final flame
probably should get that first
shadow minnow
So only gonna get GPU next gen
For now for the time I am home M1 pro is enough for more basic of games
final flame
good luck it's gonna be the same as the last main release
ashen spindle
except it starts at higher prices
shadow minnow
Well still for now GPU would be almost useless until like next summer for me.
ashen spindle
well the build is already a waste of money so wouldn't change much either way 
shadow minnow
I mean you arenโt really wrong
Though monitor deal I got was pretty good
And build has good kb with it xD
final flame
I mean at least I use my rig for after effects and Photoshop often
other than that it's a osu machine
shadow minnow
I am with my pc like 3-4 months a year till next summer, and rest can only use laptop

final flame
I used to use parsec a lot when away from home on my laptop
it's nice as long as you have a good connection
shadow minnow
Parsec is frend
Not with my wifi at home 50/5mbps and here 12mbps
Like the laptop runs well what it can run, issue is the rest
astral haven
I use parsec on worse
final flame
if I just need to do simple actions on my computer away from home I just use chrome remote desktop
astral haven
My phone at work is 5 down at best
shadow minnow
Well 12 mbps is the best. Itโs usually closer to 1
astral haven
Sure it'll be crunchy lol
final flame
it takes way less resources to run and it also doesn't need to be run at startup in the tray
fickle ore
@ashen spindle This. QD-OLED 34" biggest thing in a few years
shadow minnow
Sure it'll be crunchy lol
Still only could run stuff on iGPU.
So only benefit would be games that can run on iGPU only on windows.
Since rest gonna run way better on M1 pro
astral haven
What?
What's wrong with your GPU?
ashen spindle
he never got one
astral haven
Right
ashen spindle
bc hes waiting for one specific pre waterblocked card
shadow minnow
What?
What's wrong with your GPU?
Itโs intel UHD 750
ashen spindle
or was
shadow minnow
Not anymore, decided itโs not worth it now
astral haven
Pre blocked cards are dumb besides xoc models
ashen spindle
well the point was with parsec you could make use of it
astral haven
And xoc preblocked cards are unobtainium
shadow minnow
well the build is already a waste of money so wouldn't change much either way <a...
But ngl really wish you were wrong
iGPU for like one more year and cpu already worse than laptop cpu
Though it should be good enough hopefully for later. Hopefully.

Alder lake was really pog

Issue is I didnโt get alder lake

yup, and I cant do more than repeat saying "I told you so"6 months ahead of it ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
shadow minnow
Tbf when I was buying it I didnโt know I am not getting a GPU, going to go to uk and that itโs gonna be broken for first three months
ashen spindle
even without gpu it was worse and more expensive

True tbf

well, now would be a decent time to sell it so you get nice deal before next gen

Tho the 9900k also has more pcie Lanes and I need pcie lanes

I need to replace my case and cpu cooler
my current case doesn't have airflow and my cooler is just bad
it runs at like 50c idle almost always
shadow minnow
My cooling is way better than I need it
final flame
for a 360mm aio
shadow minnow
With full load fluid gets just like 2 or 3 c hotter
I have 60 and 45 rad for just cpu atm
(I mean thickness, both are 360mm)
final flame
I want to replace my current cooler with a noctua and get a meshify c to replace my current case
then maybe my CPU and GPU can finally have some decent temps
anytime I take off my front panel temps go down around 10c
Corsair spec omega is a nice looking but hot case
never again
astral haven
Hans, fetch the dremel
I also have a new water block for my CPU that I haven't installed
I'm waiting on a block for my GPU still

Yup

fair gull
i had the same
for me it was apparently dirty lga pin on the cpu
or pad i guess
for me it was cpu 2 slot 12
fair gull
why?
old marlin
managed to get less sticks working
even though I swapped all the dimms around in the faulty spots already
also not degredated
just not used
fair gull
ye had he exact same on my g8
only got it fixed after cleaning the cpu pads and reinserting it
old marlin
ye will try that next
will have to find out where tf my colleagues put the thermal paste tho
fair gull
dont scrape it off
just very carefully take it out and clean it
cause i was equally lazy
old marlin
nah I will just repaste it
don't wanna get myself dirty right at the start of my work day
one of the heatsinks had no contact from the factory
old marlin
different chassis is a lot happier
reduced the total amount of ram as well
used the same sticks that were seen as faulty on the other one tho

fair gull
reduced the total amount of ram as well
they arent faulty. the cpu just cant access them
but the bios obv could
old marlin
they arent faulty. the cpu just cant access them
yeye obv
bios locks out channels with faulty sticks
fair gull
it can also lock out a single stick
in my case it wasnt a channel but just 1 stick as good, unused
fair gull
in my case it was me touching the cpu with my greacy fingers
old marlin
lol
nah mine were still factory installed
I assume nobody at the WDR randomly disassembles their servers
fair gull

reef patrol
https://twitter.com/IanCutress/status/1494667779626180608 well, speak of the dev...
LTT? Highly unlikely. Canada has very strict employment laws.
Linus has to show he's made a VERY thorough attempt to hire a Canadian citizen first before being allowed to import anyone who hasn't already received citizenship of some kind iirc.
ashen spindle
Yes thatโs what I said, LTT is unlikely xD
reef patrol
Merely agreeing with my take on why ๐
thick elk
I think he directly said he was not going to LTT quite directly before as well.
ashen spindle
Also it would most likely be remote, so would be a bit relaxed on regulations
reef patrol
I think he directly said he was not going to LTT quite directly before as well.
To be fair a LOT of people that such things right up until they announce they're working for COMPANY.
ashen spindle
Weโll know soon, just funny timing since we talked about it a bit ago
thick elk
As for labor laws, I think making a case that you cannot find someone equivalent to him is going to be rather hard.
ashen spindle
I think it would be quite easy tbh
thick elk
Oh mistyped
old marlin
eh
thick elk
Yea, I meant it's not going to be a hard case to make that you can't find a Canadian to fill his job.
thick elk
He doesn't seem the type but he could easily cash in and get some major position at a large tech company.
ashen spindle
also full time remote could easily be contracted or smth so probably plenty of loopholes if needed, since I dont think he wants to move

This is what that evil 30% gets us consumers, while the poor game devs are struggling
ashen spindle
still has a chance to end up dead after a while like the steam machines
or the steam controller

better than if anyone else had it
Idk, valve is pretty shirt internally lol
ashen spindle
in what way
pale sigil
If j remember there was a lot of abuse and stuff like terrible working conditions with devs or something
true quest
see: tf2, csgo
ashen spindle
I mean abandoning some of their lesser played games isn't what I'd say makes them "pretty shit"
also what abuse?
fair gull
This is what that evil 30% gets us consumers, while the poor game devs are strug...
"struggeling"
imo every dev knows what cuts to expect
agreeing to it and then crying about it seems unfair
if you dont want to give away some money
sell it yourself
ashen spindle
he's being sarcastic about it
fair gull
well others arent
reef tundra
Not to mention servers aint coming cheap
With those server costs being continues while valve can only once rake in that fee per transaction
ashen spindle
"just dont do it the only viable way unless you have a lot of money or similar" isn't really a great argument though
fair gull
thats not what i said
i said if you dont like it sell it somewhere else or yourself
no one forces devs to use steam
theres also GOG
which id say is rather large
and EGS
ashen spindle
ah yes, the 5 gog users lol
the gog userbase that is so tiny that gog constantly ends in massive red numbers
also why should one not be able to complain about a current situation, without having to completely remove oneself from it
fair gull
i wouldnt sign it and expect empathy for my own choice
ashen spindle
"this is unfair but due to market position the alternatives are even worse" is a valid complaint imo
reef tundra
Also valve doesnt demand exclusivity in any way. Developers/publishers dont have to choose between steam or another platform. They can list them on steam, their own website or another 'competitor'
fair gull
well due to the market position those cuts are likely not even much considering the possibility of sale to each consumer
ashen spindle
"they dont demand exclusivity" that's the same flawed logic when applying it to buying something from a monopolistic company, even if you aren't forced to buy it, it's still something you want and complain about
an yes the cuts were a lot better than retail costs when steam launched
but storage/bandwith has gotten insanely cheap in comparison so costs for valve went down there
fair gull
in general the cuts arent too bad considering you sell a digital item which at some point of amount of sales will just turn into pure profit
you will have recouped development costs at some point
after that its pure profit and investment into whatever u wanna do next
and maybe storage and bandwidth got cheaper
but the framework valve offers with steam integration
and the neigh behemoth of a storefront
ashen spindle
yes nobody says they should do it for free
fair gull
imo 30% is completely acceptable
ashen spindle
based on what, gut feeling?
fair gull
purely on what you can do by selling on steam and using their SDKs
it just starts by cloud saves
ashen spindle
after that its pure profit and investment into whatever u wanna do next
also yes, hence the biggest issue is that you have lower cuts when you sell millions and have already gotten your investment back, instead of having indie game pay less until they made it back for example
20% cut after 10 million sold or w/e it was make less sense than 20% while you are still struggling to sell 5k
just as one option
fair gull
id say after the first 15k sold copies
which isnt all that much
at 20usd
u recouped a good 2 years of work
or more
so like 150k and up
ashen spindle
idc about what it ends up exactly
just that the current way doesnt make sense and it's weird to just outright act as if complaints are not valid at all
and 15k at 20usd might make sometimes the money back, though not if you are more than one person almost lol
fair gull
if you are more than one person
and take 2 years for some more simple indie game
and dont use alpha features on steam to show of what you have in earlier stages
imo
thats on you aswell
if you have a game thats playable
after lets say a good year or 2
u can already offer that
and you will recoup money yet again
reef tundra
If you consider steam as a publisher, 30% is a pretty good rate for handling that side of the process.
ashen spindle
but clearly valve a fine with a lower cut since you can get down to 20%, but I can't understand why that is ok but smaller studios that might not make enough to fund the next game or w/e have to suffer bc EA wants another million?
in the end we get better products if the big whales "subsidies" the smaller ones basically
fair gull
because its probably the same as in retail
ashen spindle
instead of the small ones getting killed
fair gull
you wont be able to beat anyones price of the big bois
ashen spindle
it can be different so why should it not be
why do you want something that would result in worse products and just yet another fifa
fair gull
because people keep throwing money at the big games
if those wouldnt sell
they wouldnt return
reef tundra
There is also no initial investment or minimum volume requirements. Or Valve intervening into your game development.
fair gull
steam would need to change
im fairly certain the big games could deffo keep steam afloat alone
without any indie games
ashen spindle
what is your hate against indie games lol
if you would just flip it around the right way valve might even make the literal same amount of money, but we get more indies and the EA ceo takes 14 instead of 15 million bonus
fair gull
thats why i said
if people
stop to pay for the same rerelease every year
shit would change
and yet people buy fifa 3845 and complain
or cod 34978214
or any other of the yearly releases
of reskinned reused shit
ashen spindle
ok but why put it on the people instead of just changing the system, so people who like the same thing can get it, and others can still enjoy more small stuff
fair gull
because thats not how the world works
ashen spindle
why does the consumer have to bear the burden
fair gull
i wish i could change the fucking system
cause then i wouldnt have to fear for my store closing down
this isnt purely a steam issue
this is any marketplace
tbe big bois always win
ashen spindle
ok and we should just give up or what
and not suggest changes that might be unlikely but would be nice
fair gull
no you have to change the people first
cause society is what makes up the system
cant change the system without changing the people
ashen spindle
ok but what would be hurt if you just do both
why have the consumers suffer as the only option instead of trying if something else works first
you can say you dont think it will happen sure, that's absolutely fine
fair gull
because this seems to have gone on for years
and i dont see any change for some reason
the fact is that steam runs as it runs cause people do as they do
if people do differently
steam has to adapt
why would they change
ashen spindle
and that is a valid viewpoint, but how does that suddenly change what would be good?
"I dont think it happens so everyone else should stop trying to make good changes" is what I'm getting from it
fair gull
because the best option rn is to eat whatever cut to the marketplace
just so you can compete
the good changes are to fucking stop being a sheep
the change is
people should vote with their wallet
not with tweets
and people vote big studios
i could put a muppet on a stick in control of EA
ashen spindle
so should a small dev try to convince society instead of try to convince a company?
fair gull
and it would sell just as many games
reef tundra
