[pearl elk]

arnt Mastodon a heavy metal band?

[proud jay]

Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequence

[soft night]

mastodon is like you are in isolated in tower with same group minded people without get sense what others are doing on other towers

[proud jay]

of course now that Musk bought it it is a wild west of shit shows

[proud jay]

so an echo chamber

sounds like a good idea

will definitely avoid radicalization

[foggy path]

so basically twitter

:P

[deep copper]

that sounds like reddit

or discord depending on how private the tower is

[deep copper]

wait are you on twitter ?

[pearl elk]

I just wish people learnt how to spell and use basic grammar! That's all I wish for in regards to social media.

[deep copper]

i blame twitter word limit

[proud jay]

I have an account but don't really use it

[deep copper]

ah

[pearl elk]

The amount of people selling cars with "good breaks" is unfathomable!

[deep copper]

you mean the car is broken good or

[quasi mantle]

Why use twitter when you can use github pages

[soft night]

teslas doors can freeze on winter

[quasi mantle]

I still use Twitter because the Far East anime twitter scene doesn't change much

[pearl elk]

Trust me, Imma mekanik!

[quasi mantle]

Far West Twitter is rotting right now, though, no denying about it

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/takahashi-takahashi-brothers-rx7-reamemiya-fc-gif-25905031

[pearl elk]

Yeah I saw this on YT

Did you guys see that Tesla crash in China the other day, omg 160kmph. I wont link it cuz its pretty full on

[proud jay]

tbh if you take 2 years of your life to train the twitter algorithm to get to know what you like, your timeline might not be that bad

what I really fucking hate about twitter is it suggesting posts

cause it thinks I like some topic

or because a guy is followed by a guy I follow

who cares

[soft night]

i got old posts more often recently

[quasi mantle]

Can't agree more, most of my personalized feed are mostly from Japanese/South Korean users liking anime stuff. Far West shitshow is very few and far in between.

[deep copper]

okay now i know where to go if i ever use twitter

[quasi mantle]

It is polarizing as it sounds, one half of the world minding their business like usual, the other half is turned into utter chaos

[quasi mantle]

If you use Twitter, lean into the source of the anime space, you'll find the peaceful oasis.

[proud jay]

most of tweets come from very small percentage of users

[quasi mantle]

Don't cater yourself into the western mess, it's not good for your well being (and brain cells)

[proud jay]

https://www.fastcompany.com/90697826/the-top-25-most-active-twitter-users-produce-97-of-all-tweets-while-most-of-us-just-lurk

it's even worse than the 80-20 rule

[deep copper]

considering how difficult it is to understand tweets, i would probably end up doing that

not understanding western tweets and ignoring them all

[quasi mantle]

The machine translation is servicable too

Now I really get why Hideki Kamiya block English speaking people

[deep copper]

who that?

[proud jay]

who

let me guess, creator of makoto?

[quasi mantle]

Bayonetta

among other PlatinumGames stuff

[deep copper]

that's the first time i heard of that

[proud jay]

you know, you should just go full weeb and move to japan tbh

don't let your dreams be dreams

also, bring potatos

[pearl elk]

Bayonetta is perfect for shish kebabs

[broken sigil]

Yay I got covid 😐

[proud jay]

rip

[pearl elk]

again?

[quasi mantle]

He was a Capcom alumni, worked on Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, until defecting to form PlatinumGames

[proud jay]

not good in combination with your heart problems

[quasi mantle]

That's my pipe dream, if it weren't for the local prohibition on double citizenship

[broken sigil]

3rd time now
1st was bad, 2nd barely felt it, now 3rd it feels pretty bad

[proud jay]

why double if you can go 100% japanese

[deep copper]

wow, that's... quite an achievement in a way ..?

[broken sigil]

Lol

[proud jay]

I'm still covid free baby

[deep copper]

same but I don't even go out so

[soft night]

i havent even get covid

[zinc matrix]

Pretty sure that we're just gonna end up living in an endless covid catching cycle

[quasi mantle]

Well, I could, but I want to raise my game dev studio here and have control over it.

[pearl elk]

I thought you mentioned having it previously, you should stop going to the place you keep catching it. Probably the ice cream aisle in the shopping center

[quasi mantle]

And I want to at least try shaking the local game dev scene, even if combating the laser focus on monetization alone ended up futile

[soft night]

when you even dont get flu, so easy to avoid things when on crowds

[deep copper]

so is not having citizenship going to hinder this?

again, i don't understand laws so

[quasi mantle]

Well, it's going to be a hell of a paperwork for business owners.

[proud jay]

well

you just need a shill person

that's what lots of companies did in UK

get a random dude of the street

tell him to be founder of your company

keep controlling interest with yourself

easy

[deep copper]

a representative?

that's kinda neat, if it works,

[proud jay]

it does afaik

we also have a "UK office"

it's literally one dude lol

I think it's for tax avoiding purposes

[foggy path]

It depends

If you hire people in country X, it can make sense to have an office there

[deep copper]

that sounds like they will be forced to change the rules within some 200 yesrs

years*

[foggy path]

Well, not necessarily an office, but rather, just a subsidiary

since in general if you hire people in a certain country, the local tax and employment laws require you to have a business there

[proud jay]

again

1 employee

singular

the "office" has been there for years

[deep copper]

in eu you just need to have business in any one country right

[foggy path]

Yeah I mean I was just giving an example of a legitimate reason for having a company like that which doesn't necessarily do anything much

[proud jay]

having multiple companies is nice for profit balancing though

if one has too many profits and will be taxed but another has losses, just have the one with losses do "consulting" for the one with profits

now they both have 0 profit or loss

easy

[deep copper]

that's, sorta cheating

[proud jay]

you can avoid a ton of taxes as a company if you have a good accountant

my company had a accountant that stole 3 million, but they never noticed until he died lol

[quasi mantle]

The time zone difference would be only 2 hours, but I don't know if having "shell company" for me (if I switch citizenship to Japanese) and the main company in Indonesia where the production happens is a good plan

[proud jay]

because he saved them 12 million already

[deep copper]

how do you even figure this stuff out though

[proud jay]

get a good accountant

I just said that

[deep copper]

are you an accountant?

[proud jay]

is there a specific reason for wanting your company in Indonesia though?

[proud jay]

no

[deep copper]

were you friends with one?

[proud jay]

my father is though, but for the government, so slightly less tax avoidance

[deep copper]

that explains

[proud jay]

I just find finance and shit interesting

[quasi mantle]

Hiring and helping local talents, more so than the financial aspects

[deep copper]

if we get a matrix reality it shouldn't matter much, but till then...

[quasi mantle]

Unfortunately dual citizenship had some bad rep political wise, no matter how innocent and politic-deaf you are.

[deep copper]

i see, that makes sense, and don't many countries hate jap

[quasi mantle]

Also yeah, I felt like the local game industry is being stuck with cash grab mentality, and not putting effort on the games.

Not to mention local Unreal Engine users are still outnumbered by local Unity users.

[deep copper]

well as long as it works and feeds them

but good plan to raise the bar i suppose

[quasi mantle]

Nice snow material 👍

[bleak remnant]

Least unpredictable day in Michigan

[soft night]

Slush is cool

[bleak remnant]

Not mine, credits go to the "Weather of Michigan"

[quasi mantle]

lol jk

But I never once experienced snow in my life before

I mean, I can barely survive on cold temperature without people sus on me catching covid when it's actually just cold sneezing

[bleak remnant]

Texas?

[quasi mantle]

Way far off.

I'm not even north american.

If I am I would've been prosper and wealthy by this point

[bleak remnant]

🤔

[thin aspen]

Everything is good here in Detroit 🫠

[bleak remnant]

I have to go there for a Valorant lan in the 10th

Well a small town near it

Something called pinckney

[thin aspen]

Pinckney is closer to Ann Arbor than it is the city

[bleak remnant]

Right

[thin aspen]

I guess it’s still SE Michigan though.

How’s that GR/BC life treating you

[bleak remnant]

GR is rough out here 😂

We're expecting 12-18 tomorrow

Inches of snow

[thin aspen]

I heard, ngmi my guy

[bleak remnant]

ngmi?

[thin aspen]

We probably won’t even get a full inch

Not gonna make it

[bleak remnant]

Oh

[thin aspen]

Look on the bright side you might get a snow day

On a Friday nonetheless

[bleak remnant]

True

[thin aspen]

At least you don’t live in buffalo, they’re supposed to get like 5 feet or something

[bleak remnant]

LOL WHAT

[thin aspen]

Yup they are definitely ngmi

[primal summit]

Look, these things happen. I'm not worried about it.

of course, I live in the desert southwest, so it doesn't really affect me

[thin aspen]

Humble flex I see

[primal summit]

although a couple feet more than usual this year would be really nice

[quartz panther]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFmY6RCP/

[thin aspen]

I gotta disagree with you there

But that because I’m responsible for clearing the snow

[primal summit]

the snowpack will ease drought restrictions, help keep river flow good, and help crop growing though

[thin aspen]

yikes

Whose using up all that water anyway

[primal summit]

you really don't know the drought situation in the southwest US?

[thin aspen]

I stopped paying attention when I left Texas a decade ago so I’m not too hip to anything SW anymore

[primal summit]

it's complicated, but: Treaties between states and between the US and Mexico dictate minimum flow amounts. Meanwhile, municipal areas are growing fast and using more water than ever, all paired with less precipitation and snowpack and melting on average starting and finishinf earlier every year.

Texas never really bore the brunt of it, being a plains state, but Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and on north are all affected.

plus california, but as far as I'm concerned, they're a foreign country whose border I want closed

[bleak remnant]

Nope

[thin aspen]

Hmm that’s interesting I never knew that. But then again I’ve only visited the aforementioned states minus Utah and north of that.

[bleak remnant]

Michigan is better than ohio

[thin aspen]

Ohio? 🤢

[bleak remnant]

Get out of here with that

[bleak remnant]

Fr

Literally 1984

[thin aspen]

Kentucky is better than Ohio that’s how much Ohio sucks

[bleak remnant]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four

How?

The night of the broken glass thing?

[thin aspen]

Correct but also KFC is trash anyway so it was necessary

[bleak remnant]

Chicken is chicken

[thin aspen]

Why eat KFC when you could simply not?

[bleak remnant]

Unless it's the store brand

People who make store brand chicken nuggets should be tried as war criminals

Tbh I've never heard of this downfall

I've heard people say they don't like how the chicken tastes or something, but that's about it

Maybe it's a regional thing

[deep glen]

funny thing is, burger king actually purchases the highest quality chicken compared to other big food chains

kfc is poor in quality

their burgers, yuck

[bleak remnant]

Maybe everyone else just has it worse

[thin aspen]

having lived in Kentucky before I guess I’m a little biased. There are many better options outside of KFC.

and burger kind is also poor in quality

Although my mom said when she was younger they were much much better than today

But if I’m actually in Kentucky I’ll usually eat indi’s or lees chicken. I can’t really recall seeing too many KFC’s where I usually be at. Excluding the all you can eat KFC buffet in downtown Louisville

[thin aspen]

That's a marketing ploy from my understanding, they all actually get their chicken from the same one supplier, which is tyson. But that might be different in different places.

[deep glen]

it was someone who got fired from leaking it. but its been months since Ive seen the post.

but they were from one of the big USA suppliers

but also, yea. nowadays, no clue whats true

ah yea

[thin aspen]

That was so dumb

And this all happened before they had iced coffee so I’m not entirely sure what they expected out of the coffee

[primal summit]

money

[fleet tangle]

They expected it not to burn them.

[unborn lotus]

not burn yourself

[fleet tangle]

Because they're idiots.

It's like people who don't plug power leads into 4090s properly!

😛

[unborn lotus]

Wasn't the "marketing ploy" just that - paint McDonalds as the victim and the burned victim as the idiot?

[mossy nexus]

The woman who suffered severe burns on her legs? While there is a bit of user error there, the water used was over the temp allowed.

[frigid rain]

but it's keyed...

[fleet tangle]

What?

[frigid rain]

it only goes in one way

component mfrs made it as easy as possible for you not to mess it up

[fleet tangle]

You clearly missed the video on how badly people are failing to plug in their 4090 connectors.

Literally having the cable taught and hanging 5-10mm out of the socket.

[frigid rain]

i don't want to watch such videos

[fleet tangle]

You really don't.

It was an investigation into why they catch on fire and that was basically the conclusion that it's mostly people being really shit at plugging in connectors.

[frigid rain]

lol

[broken sigil]

and awful connector design

[fleet tangle]

That too.

[unborn lotus]

That's like Apple saying you're holding the phone wrong 😅 just make the connector idiot proof

[fleet tangle]

The connectors themselves are shit. On many levels.

[frigid rain]

how dare they design connectors without a satisfying click????

I am triggered

destroy all 4090s!!!

[fleet tangle]

Let's be fair, while the connector is bad, the problems the connector created isn't what caused them to be left half a centimetre out of the socket.

[frigid rain]

I would agree with that

[broken sigil]

exactly my thoughts, you shouldn't design a connector that allows for user error, nothing was wrong with the old connectors, they worked perfectly and there were never any issues with it

[fleet tangle]

Even if you don't fully connect it, it still doesn't catch on fire. You have to fail to connect it (by a small margin) and then have hte cable taught or literally pull it out for it to be a problem.

Or fail horrendously at connecting it in the first place.

[broken sigil]

even just a 1-2mm can cause it to heat up like crazy

[fleet tangle]

That's not what they said in the video.

[broken sigil]

GN showed it

[fleet tangle]

They said it didn't cause an issue until you were like 5mm out.

Mabye I need to rewatch that test.

And, again to be fair, you should never install cables that are taught like that. You should leave some room so they can sit properly.

[frigid rain]

if it is a std connector though, it should seat next to the flat spot that stops it from going in further, push it to the flat or your hardware go "BLAT"

[fleet tangle]

And position them so the connectors aren't under pressure.

[frigid rain]

yes that too

[fleet tangle]

In the video they were pushing them in until the plastic was not visibly disconnected.

And then pulling them out.

[frigid rain]

I hope people don't install processors like this lol

I always look for the triangle of reason...

then I watch the "Dog of Reason" video and install my processor

[fleet tangle]

I just read the install guide that comes with the cpu.

"Oh, there's a mark here you need to line up? Done"

[frigid rain]

right

[fleet tangle]

To be fair, assembling my latest cpu did require a bit of youtubing.

It came with a special mounting bracket for my cooler.

[frigid rain]

but you probably didn't watch the dog of reason video as a prereq

[fleet tangle]

I don't know what that is.

I've never needed to watch it in the 10+ cpus I've installed.

[frigid rain]

you don't want to
it will lower your iq

why am I chatting when I should be reading?

lolololol

later

[bleak remnant]

That's like 30 seconds of being outside

It's hard to see out there LMAO

[thin aspen]

You should probably put on different shoes

[bleak remnant]

Ha

Probably

[zinc wagon]

snow!? it's still fucking hot in here!

[thin aspen]

Okay nelly

[bleak remnant]

Least unpredictable day in Michigan

There was no snow 2 days ago, it was warm

[thin aspen]

For what it’s worth last week it was in the 70’s on this side

[bleak remnant]

Yeah same

[thin aspen]

The next day it was below freezing

[bleak remnant]

😂

[zinc wagon]

what's that in european?

[bleak remnant]

Michigan

Oh

[thin aspen]

Like 15 or something

23 actually

[zinc wagon]

oh so pretty warm

[bleak remnant]

Yeah and now it's pouring snow

Literally omw to school I saw like 3 accidents

[thin aspen]

When we say last week we literally mean 7 days ago too

[zinc wagon]

lol i remember few years ago when i saw a salt truck stuck in snow and it took them them 2 hours to get it out

[thin aspen]

That’s… terrible

At least it’s not like the west coast where they put sand down instead of salt

[thin aspen]

And ~4 hours east of that picture it doesn’t look anything like that

[bleak remnant]

Lol

Its not 4 hours only like 2ish

I was in Detroit for a lan last year, replay cafe

I wonder what it's like in Canada rn

[mossy nexus]

this

[thin aspen]

That makes it worse

[bleak remnant]

Lol

[bleak remnant]

Rip, where?

[primal summit]

Soldier, you're in michigan?

[bleak remnant]

Yes

[primal summit]

a buddy of mine's out that way too

[bleak remnant]

Nice

Looks like it's only bad on the west side though 😭

[primal summit]

he also used to go by the game name soldier

[bleak remnant]

Lol

[primal summit]

[mossy nexus]

No idea I just looked at the first current Canada based weather report I found.

Oh yeah not sure if I talked about it, I think I did but I ended up doing the stress test thing which was fine
So in the end everything with the heart is fine, no issues at all
But I got directed to a psychiatrist instead 😐

[primal summit]

is it because you don't understand the material, outside influences, or something else?

[white oxide]

is there a reason manny bot times out so fast?

im on DSL and manny hates me atm

wont let me post a revshare job

[broken sigil]

Hm yeah, tested it just now and it's failing for me too

[white oxide]

it finally worked for me

dunno why

but volunteer and freelancer has worked

[mossy nexus]

it just got updated

like a couple of mins ago. #announcements message

[white oxide]

yeah i had to cut sections out

interesting

ugh i wish my skills were better a writing

im good at lore

and story background

but not at writing

[gleaming hill]

Hmm I'm dog sitting and two of them are being awkward. Only one is normal. Old boy is staying in his cage. The sausage is sitting in the dark by the door. The wolf is trying to get belly rubs (being normal)

I have no idea what is wrong with the other two

Nevermind it was better before, they've been activated and 3 dog is too much dog

Didn't like the way pugs look but they're fun to interact with

It's basically a living sausage

[azure ferry]

I'm visit korea game featival called G-Star, and I saw this

[lofty lark]

they've been activated
😆

[white oxide]

im finally getting fiber at my home (currently on DSL) and wanting to shift from Laptop powered gaming/dev to desktop. any recommended monitors? I dont mind lower FPS as budget friendly is preferred over getting max FPS for games ive NEVER had high FPS for ever

space isnt an issue

desk is 56" x 56"

[quasi mantle]

"Everyday I'm shuffling suffering"

[fleet tangle]

That looks expensive. I'd DIY that in an afternoon and have a lot of fun with it!

[white oxide]

$229

[fleet tangle]

Less than I expected, tbh.

[white oxide]

if i really wanted too i could DIY it myself

[fleet tangle]

But I'd still probably make it myself.

[unreal ether]

i do love woodwork

[white oxide]

but ive already got a handful of DIY projects and at this point anything similarly strong would cost as much

[white oxide]

im building a cabin

by hand

[fleet tangle]

Oh wow!

[unreal ether]

i've been wanting to make a custom desk for a while but the tool cost is too much to justify

[white oxide]

no power tools

[fleet tangle]

I'd definitely use powertools.

[unreal ether]

yo keep me updated in here! that sounds cool af

[fleet tangle]

Just not, like, industrial ones.

[white oxide]

12 x 16

foot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyz3sBuXw5E

[white oxide]

i use them for anything but the cabin project

everything there is pure hand power

[fleet tangle]

I wouldn't even consider doing it in that kind of terrain.

I'd want a nice open area!

[white oxide]

look at episode 2

its JUST enough to do the cabin

our property line is the weird barb wire fence

im waiting out the rainy season

it started raining 4 days after ep 2

washed that bridge away

the ground is currently so saturated thew trees would be too heavy

have to wait for winter

so until then im working on more projects

i cant code, 8 years of trying and it causes me a headache

[white oxide]

should see some of the spaces i found while hunting for trees

300 square yards of underbrush

[fleet tangle]

Are you sure it's going to be safe when the rainy season starts up again?

Are you using a concrete foundation?

[white oxide]

new bridge will be 20 feet long

[fleet tangle]

I mean the cabin as well!

[white oxide]

cabins 12 vertical feet above high water line

i dont worry TOO much

[fleet tangle]

Doesn't mean the ground won't become saturated!

[white oxide]

getting there will be the issue

saturation isnt the issue once the cabin is up

im worried about the trees being waterlogged

[fleet tangle]

That too.

Perhaps coat them in something like tar or resin. (Or concrete.)

Just below the surface.

[white oxide]

the ground contact wood will be pressuretreated

then setting the rest of the cabin on them

ground isnt THAT bad actually

the high clay content

[fleet tangle]

Fair enough! But, yeah, good luck.

[white oxide]

heres the computer my studios IT guy said to get: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hoplite308/saved/Tx94pg

anything yall see wrong with it?

plan is for basic rig to be viable for like 4-6 years

[bitter flax]

yea

it'll do that

core i7 second best process rn

rtx 3080 will be revelant in the next 4 years easy

corsair airflow really good for start pcs

[white oxide]

main focus is promotional rendering of my games, and streaming playing games like GTAV, RDR2, space engineers

[fleet tangle]

Personally I'd go for an AIO watercooler, but I just like them.

[bitter flax]

Unless you're doing hardcore gaming 45 hours you'll be good

[warm bloom]

Hmm nothing wrong with it overall seems fairly decent

[fleet tangle]

I would also get 64gb of ram if you want it to be "future proof"

[warm bloom]

personally I'd spring for more ssd over hdd

like another 2tb nvme but that's personal preference

[bitter flax]

yea more ram equals more mutli tasking. Build looks super revelant dude

[fleet tangle]

Yeah. Grab a 2tgb nvme instead of one of those hdds.

You could probably get an 800 or even 700W power supply as well, the 1000W isn't required.

[warm bloom]

and also look at equivalent Ryzen processors imo but then you'll have to change your motherboard which is a bit of a pain

[white oxide]

the HDDs will be more mass storage than anything

[warm bloom]

why do you need 16tb of mass storage

I think 4tb of ssd would be better

[bitter flax]

think he meant ram

[white oxide]

recording videos for editing

nice to set record path to the HDD

[fleet tangle]

That doesn't require super quick hds, true.

But I'd still get an ssd system drive.

Even if it's only a small one, like 500gb or 1tb.

[white oxide]

yeah

there should be one

theres a 2TB SSD

• 16tb HDD mass storage

[warm bloom]

you'd be surprised how fast 1tb disappears lol

do you play games a fair bit

[white oxide]

all spare time

currently every game i play takes about 1TB

• system files and unreal 5

[fleet tangle]

IKR. I now have to have 2 UE5 source builds on my ssd. :/

I have 750gb remaining on my 2tb before adding the new build.

[white oxide]

top 5 games are sins of a solar empire (rebellion-2), RDR 2, GTAV, space engineers, war thunder

[warm bloom]

just so you know the main benefit of editing videos on your SSD would be

for seeking throughout them

will be a bit faster

for in editor playback

but honestly I doubt you're like working on lmg/ltt quality videos so it should be fine

but I'd still personally weigh the benefits on another SSD versus a HDD

cause you can always buy external drives

[white oxide]

youtube and twitch

yeah external drives are nice

get a drive array and pop in 64tb of raw storage if i need

i just want something that can use fiber when it comes in the next month or so

[warm bloom]

just another heads up certain motherboards with nvme drives disable other connectors

so definitely look into that stuff

that's my only other tip

otherwise overall PC looks good

[white oxide]

im trusting our IT guy

he hasnt been wrong yet

[warm bloom]

it's usually when you have two nvme drives

[bitter flax]

Hey guys I want a good processor for fast game rendering. I don't need a great graphics card for unreal engine or unity right?

Know for a fact I don't need it for unity. My old laptop is still working relatively fine on it.

I'd like to know about unreal though

[quasi mantle]

Well, you need a serviceable GPU for Unreal

[white oxide]

what monitors would yall recomend

[fleet tangle]

You don't need one, no, but it's nice.

[white oxide]

not looking for 144fps, 60FPS is plenty for me

[quasi mantle]

On top of that, you'll going to need a good CPU to compile/make builds of your game

[fleet tangle]

Some sort of 26"ish 144Hz OLED one

[white oxide]

id have to buy new all my current monitors are VGA only

and mostly square

[broken sigil]

Good Ips or oled will feel like a different world then lol

[white oxide]

i have an inspiron 7590 2-in-1 laptop

its so crisp

[quasi mantle]

If you can, I'd recommend seeking for HDR one for testing your game in HDR display. Otherwise at least 120 Hz display for testing performances.

[white oxide]

the 75 inch 4k OLED is nice for a tv

and its better than the VGA

[warm bloom]

you say 60hz is fine

that's a lie

trust me

you have not experienced the difference

[quasi mantle]

I need an HDR display for testing my game's HDR output lol
There is actually an experimental HDR anime

[warm bloom]

also it's kinda a waste to get such a good system and run at 60hz

[broken sigil]

I'm using 1 ips 144hz 24.5" vertical and another ips 175hz 27" as my main

[white oxide]

id rather save money

than get super up to date

remember im going from VGA/laptop

to whatever i buy

[quasi mantle]

You'd rather spend money, get up to date, and eat what you really need

[broken sigil]

Once you try high refresh rate you can't go back, to me it's more valuable than resolution

[warm bloom]

I agree

[white oxide]

i wouldnt know

never had it

[warm bloom]

even low res 144hz

trust

[white oxide]

would 3 monitors or an ultrawide be better

[warm bloom]

two 27" monitors

obviously

[quasi mantle]

I mean, eating a loaf of bread everyday in exchange for high end monitor isn't a huge loss
||okay, no, look for what you really need, don't force yourself||

[broken sigil]

I don't like ultrawides but 🤷‍♂️

[warm bloom]

I've never tried an ultra wide no opinion

they seem weird

[white oxide]

id rather have multiple

[warm bloom]

I feel like it's more uncomfy than have two separate monitors

[bitter flax]

Serviceable you think a ASRock AMD Radeon RX5500XT
would run fine

[white oxide]

in case i break one by accident

[warm bloom]

having*

[bitter flax]

with an amd ryzen 5600 processor?

I really only play league of legends and valorant

Any 100+ graphics card will do with league

[warm bloom]

I spent around ~800 on two monitors

[quasi mantle]

If 60 FPS is what you need, and not needing to go higher, then 60 Hz displays are fine, no shame about it.

[warm bloom]

dropped one of them

lmao

[white oxide]

curved or flat?

[bitter flax]

You guys think I can get away using a ASRock AMD Radeon RX5500XT
graphics card on unreal

[quasi mantle]

Honestly I'm in proposition of "Spend on what you really need, not for bragging rights."

[broken sigil]

I would advise something better if you can, the cpu will do

[white oxide]

until recently, i havent had the need for one since ive been laptop only

[bitter flax]

Same!

[white oxide]

id like to see my games in nice graphics if im springing for a 3080 to run them

[broken sigil]

Like a 6700 for example

[warm bloom]

@white oxide my suggestion is getting one good monitor for playing games

[white oxide]

ill always have the backup desktop

[warm bloom]

then you can get a 60hz for the side

[white oxide]

its sht

[warm bloom]

and have like Google chrome or whatever open

for your tasks

[white oxide]

but its good for playing media and google searching

[bitter flax]

ASRock AMD Radeon RX5500XT you guys think unreal will work on it?

[warm bloom]

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VG27WQ1B-Supports-Adaptive-sync-DisplayPort/dp/B088MKHW7M/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2MGF1MFAS46X7&keywords=1440p+144hz+monitor&qid=1668745485&sprefix=14%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-3

[white oxide]

after some search this is what i found: https://www.amazon.com/HP-27-inch-Adjustment-FreeSync-Technology/dp/B0949KL83T

[broken sigil]

If you are getting a 3080 then I would definitely go for a higher refresh rate monitor, you don't need more than 120-144hz

[bitter flax]

Is my question really that offensive?

Why everyone is ignoring it?

[broken sigil]

I answered you

[bitter flax]

oh sorry

I didn't see the @bitter flax

Ty!! ❤️

[warm bloom]

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VG27WQ1B-Supports-Adaptive-sync-DisplayPort/dp/B088MKHW7M/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2MGF1MFAS46X7&keywords=1440p+144hz+monitor&qid=1668745485&sprefix=14%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-3 I'd suggest this

[broken sigil]

Yeah I forgot to ping you

[warm bloom]

it's a decent price

[white oxide]

would a monitor having AMD whatever in it, be bad if the computer is nvidia? or is it not an issue

[quasi mantle]

FreeSync?

[warm bloom]

you mean freesync

it's just like amds version of gsync

[white oxide]

has zero clue what any of this means

[warm bloom]

you can use freesync on Nvidia gpus

so no it's not a problem

[white oxide]

i just have money and wanna game

or well, will have money

[bitter flax]

Alright I will do wit the ASUS Dual AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 8GB GDDR6

that should do

[white oxide]

is there a diff between the 27 and 32?

[warm bloom]

that's the size

[white oxide]

other than size and price?

[warm bloom]

27 is fucking huge

trust me

don't get a bigger one

[white oxide]

i have a 42 and 75 inch tv yeah

[broken sigil]

Yeah that's gonna be better, you might need to lower some lumen settings but it will work

[warm bloom]

look this is a 27"

[bitter flax]

i was super happy with my first monitor

it felt super huge since I was used to a laptop

[unborn lotus]

42 is the best size monitor

[quasi mantle]

That'll be down to your estimated budget.
My planned mini ITX build would cost $2000

[white oxide]

i know my rig is slated at $2600

+/- $200 based on sales

my desk is $230

[warm bloom]

I highly highly recommend you do spring for high refresh rate monitors though

[white oxide]

speakers are $40

[bitter flax]

WIth this black friday I might get a high end pc for only 1k

[white oxide]

$250 for screen not bad

[warm bloom]

I'd do some independent research on the panel

via like reddit

certain ips panels have a bad viewing angle

but since it's curved

probably not a issue

[broken sigil]

Can't remember the name but there is website that does detailed reviews including color accuracy, response time, pixel overshooting, etc...

I'll link it if I find it

[white oxide]

please ping me if you do

imma be AFK for a bit

[bitter flax]

what do you guys think of a thermal smart seris 500w power supply for a mid build?

Should I worry that the cables are only 1 and a half few milimeters long

think that'll be a big issue?

[olive zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-23395435

Me waiting for the plugins my project relies on to update for UE5.1

[bitter flax]

nvm i figured it out!!

[azure ferry]

🔥

[white oxide]

is there a version with Gsync?

[warm bloom]

if you look around probably

but I don't think there would be much benefit

it usually bumps up the price a good $100-200

because I believe gsync is hardware based and freesync is software based

this could be outdated info at this point though

I highly suggest you do independent research online especially there is a subreddit that's all about monitors

and usually they have good suggestions for all price ranges and decently written reviews

[white oxide]

link? every web page takes like 30 seconds to load

currently on DSL

waiting for the new fiber line to activate

and reddit hates my internet with a burning passion

[warm bloom]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[white oxide]

thx

[warm bloom]

honestly don't wanna go to in depth as there are plenty of resources online to find monitors and I don't want to be the person behind your purchasing decisions

do research

trust

you'll learn a lot too

it's very helpful for future endeavors

[white oxide]

mostly that im good at finding stuff once i know what to look for

once i do that i can look for the stuff better

[warm bloom]

I'd suggest looking for monitors within your price range that meet certain qualifications

[white oxide]

atm im grasping straws in something i dont really understand

[warm bloom]

like 120hz+

freesync/gsync

hdr

and then do research via reddit or amazon reviews

I usually start reviews from the worst to best

cause sometimes the worst reviews have good input

besides people who are mad it doesn't work cause they suck at troubleshooting

the main panels you'll see out in the wild in your price range will mostly be ips

which you should specifically look for reviews on view angles

[white oxide]

i dont really have price range

more "not dropping $600 on a single monitor"

i plan to start with one and upgrade to total of 3

is Gsync enabled monitors worth the extra price tag if i have a 3080 in my rig?

[fleet tangle]

And on another note, you really must watch Asobi Asobase. It cranks the weird and funny up to 11.

[white oxide]

what are these for?

and why is "upstream" and "downstream" a big thing

[topaz depot]

you're asking what each connection here does?

[white oxide]

the ones with arrows

the USB

what are they for and why does this have them

[topaz depot]

the upstream one is made to connect between the pc and the monitor

[white oxide]

and do what?

looks like

[topaz depot]

the downstream is for your external devices like mouse and keyboard

[white oxide]

USB-B

so acts like USB splitter?

[topaz depot]

display what's on your computer 😂

[fleet tangle]

USB is, in general, a splitter.

[white oxide]

and what do the HDMI ports do?

[fleet tangle]

Video

(input)

[white oxide]

is there a specific reason i would use the pc to monitor usb if im not using the downstream plugs?|

[topaz depot]

HDMI are pretty much the standard for connecting the display to the computer nowasays

however the DP port has an advantage of higher refresh rate

[white oxide]

im just curious, cause this is the only monitor with these ive found

[topaz depot]

HDMI's max is 120 iirc

[fleet tangle]

Oh, that's your monitor ?!

[white oxide]

the 1 sided video port "dispaly port"?

yeah

or one im looking at

[fleet tangle]

Upstream = connect to pc

Downstream = connect to more devices.

[white oxide]

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VG27AQ1A-Supports-Compatible-DisplayPort/dp/B08CZ8QJTX/

[fleet tangle]

So, yes, it's a usb splitter

[white oxide]

so dont need it for anything specific?

[fleet tangle]

But it may also have some internal usb "device" you can install drivers for.

[topaz depot]

yeah the one on the left

[fleet tangle]

It's a convenient place to plug in your kb+m

[topaz depot]

that's kinda weird connecting your devices to a monitor 😂

[white oxide]

my desktop would need a DP wouldnt it?

[topaz depot]

your gpu (or integrated gpu)

[white oxide]

i was thinking support for dynamic USB LED

[topaz depot]

if you have a modern gpu you should have both DP and HDMI

[white oxide]

ok good

3080 is what im getting

[fleet tangle]

They generally have a single HDMI and a million DP, though, which is annoying.

I don't like the plug design on DP.

[white oxide]

i really wanna have a 3 display setup

[topaz depot]

pretty sure it has both connections

[white oxide]

will i have enough ports?

[fleet tangle]

My 3080s/3090s have all had a single hdmi and like 5 DPs

[white oxide]

HAHA

[topaz depot]

the plug design is what you're complaining about? 😂

what matters is the functionality

[fleet tangle]

The connectors are simply less study than hdmi.

[topaz depot]

why does it matter

[fleet tangle]

Because things break?

[topaz depot]

are you throwing your computer on the ground every day?

[fleet tangle]

That's besides the point!

[topaz depot]

then I don't understand

[fleet tangle]

Any number of things can happen to a connector, especially if you have children, pets, small amount of space, etc.

[topaz depot]

my PC has been around for about 6 years and never got physically damaged

not a single scratch

[fleet tangle]

Or you're simply clumsy!

[topaz depot]

how would they get close to the computer

your monitor is on a table I'm hoping? not on the ground

[fleet tangle]

Also I think I went a little off DP when one of my DP monitors would stop being detected by windwos when you powered it off, but the hdmi ones were totally fine.

So it involved the screen doing weird stuff!

[topaz depot]

that's weird I didn't experience that

[fleet tangle]

I still use the monitor now. It's god awful.

The worst part about it is, when you power it off, it does like a 5s long led animation on the buttons.

Like, I don't want flashy animations, I want you to turn off!

[topaz depot]

seems like a monitor problem not a connector one 🤷

[fleet tangle]

I still don't like the sturdiness of the dp connectors.

It's black friday this week ("friday") so I may just buy a new one.

It's served its time! It's like 8 years old.

[celest musk]

DVI-D ftw

the only connector (besides of VGA) i never had connection problems with

[scarlet cedar]

Guys I am purple again 😀

[quasi mantle]

OH

anyway

[white oxide]

VGA was the best for so long

So simple to setup and use

What happens if i plug hdmi and dp into a monitor? Does it simply display the better one or am i going to break it somehow?

[unborn lotus]

You can choose the input used in the monitor settings

[celest musk]

that will probably depend on your screens firmware, guess whatever outputs signal first

VGA was a pita... besides of the connector

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/

Wonder what will be after Tweeter.

[timber viper]

both sucks

[quasi mantle]

The floating gun kinda tells me what's going on, seems to be on the fly procedural mesh generation based on bone weight data, then hide the dismembered bone. Which means this is per limb basis.

Mastodon seem to be professional space like LinkedIn

and I don't like it.

[timber viper]

If dismembered bone is being hid how dismembered part it is still on visible on the ground?

[proud jay]

I only heard of mastodon yesterday through janisku

in the middle of promoting web3 and ledger databases and crypto

so can't really trust it

[timber viper]

There is a thing named bluesky

old twitter ceo working on

[warm bloom]

i dislike going on a social media site and not initial seeing a fucking page with MEDIA

like i dont give a fuck

about your home page

[quasi mantle]

Seems like it's generating procedural mesh based on the body part that supposed to be dismembered.

[proud jay]

isn't anything on your screen technically media?

[warm bloom]

true but shut up you know what i mean

no need to tea bag me

[timber viper]

It says

Performance is really good as its using Control Rig to handle dismembering the meshes. The biggest hit to performance would be the blood vertex painting on a mesh if you have a really high poly mesh.
I think if a new mesh is being generated it cant be in Control Rig's scope right?

i guess some weird smoke & mirrors thing is happening

[thin aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/tea-bag-teasing-gif-7732751

[quasi mantle]

And nobody else interested on a weeb space? Yeah nah.

[proud jay]

but I don't really

[timber viper]

i think it might be just adding offset to bones from their origin by distance to detached bone

[quasi mantle]

I don't know how Lyra attached the weapon, but that floating gun gives some high level hint to me.
And AFAIK Control Rig by itself can't split the meshes (if anything it has little to no business dealing with the skelmesh directly.

[timber viper]

oh right

weapon is floating

im pretty sure its attached to bone

i might give it a try maybe on xmas

[oblique cloak]

yeah

[deep copper]

my experience with adobe and autodesk stuff has been weird, they spread files in multiple places

[quasi mantle]

So they've finally cut it down?

[oblique cloak]

must have

i see no other files anywhere

[quasi mantle]

Back then COD Warzone 1.0 would take 150 GB in my PS4

[proud jay]

lol why you putting cod in your ue folder

[oblique cloak]

lol

i keep steam games in there too xD

[deep copper]

probably was in a hurry the first time they did that , then to maintain consistency just went with it

now anything remotely game related goes in unreal folder

[quasi mantle]

At least they've finally cut down the aggregious size

[warm bloom]

they probably share files between the two no?

[quasi mantle]

Though MW2 base game would take up 110 GB

[deep copper]

i like how 25 GB is small now

[warm bloom]

lol

I've been playing the new goat simulator

anyone else?

[proud jay]

just like 5'11"

[warm bloom]

it's fun af

[soft night]

[deep copper]

what do you do as a goat ?

[warm bloom]

cause chaos

and destroy everything

[quasi mantle]

Considering games these days is around 50 GB average, yeah

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/cubesat-gif-24000414

[deep copper]

like graze people's cloth or what

[warm bloom]

like explode em and steal their cars

[quasi mantle]

25 GB game is pretty small these days

[deep copper]

that's a bit chaotic yeah

[warm bloom]

also there's a nuclear warhead

[soft night]

1MB game way to go

[deep copper]

inflation i guess

[warm bloom]

tbh cod probably still has duplicate files

[deep copper]

i think they make it so fat, so that no other game can fit and your only option is to play a few games

[knotty skiff]

This is my first time modeling inside UE5 and its a banger but hard sometimes

[oblique cloak]

dont even botherplaying it tho. Its worse than PUBG LOD issues on day on.

[warm bloom]

specifically console users

for sure

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/vue-gif-18509468

[deep copper]

poor console users, my consolelences

[warm bloom]

what's with the vue gif

[soft night]

its a console

[warm bloom]

[knotty skiff]

also since when ARK Survival is a 300GB game!?!?

[warm bloom]

since awhile now

that games insanely unoptimized since day one

not very surprising

fun game though

I had to uninstall it cause it took up 230gb

lol

[quasi mantle]

Considering it carries early UE4 jank

[soft night]

[quasi mantle]

Back before Epic Games printing money with Fortnite and buying best tools for Unreal

[proud jay]

when will we get a Game Girl

[warm bloom]

I don't really care for the developers of ark after what they did with atlas

[deep copper]

you know, this is why i support mako's potato movement, atleast games can become smaller if not faster for smaller devices

[quasi mantle]

Game Boy x Game Gear
the Romeo and Juliet of 90s handheld gaming

[warm bloom]

just need the art style to go with it tbh

but I agree

though I'm still gonna use quixel assets

[quasi mantle]

I'm now estimating my project to take up 30 to 40 GB, now that Bink and Oodle is more deeply integrated into UE5

[warm bloom]

and make the game run at 15fps on a 4080

[quasi mantle]

And I'm not using larger than 4K textures and no Nanite/Lumen/TSR/VSM in use

[deep copper]

smaller than the avg 50 atleast!

[deep copper]

.. as long as it runs

[warm bloom]

I'm gonna make a game that's only runnable by combining the processing power of the entirety of aws ec2 gpu instances

[quasi mantle]

#StutterStruggle is plaguing DX12/Vulkan games like coronavirus pandemic these days

I also hope my project doesn't suffer runtime shader stutter with DX12/Vulkan, I'll try everything I could to combat it.

[deep copper]

have you tried... dissecting that as well ?!

[warm bloom]

what a boring day so far

I need to make coffee

[soft night]

if you want to know new things on .NET land check dotnetconf footage

[proud jay]

lmao

[foggy path]

It's funny how brittle networks are

Literally any device connected to it can basically be like "I'm the router now"

[deep glen]

my computer keeps thinking one of my ssd's is a bluetooth device.
