watching Mercedes win literally every gp gets draining

#

at least red bull is challenging them

sick bloom
#

I mean I probably shouldnt be checking comments under mercedes twitter anyways

#

saw someone say lewis won his 8th championship, entire comment section was correcting them

vital cobalt
#

new keys :3

sick bloom
#

only 3 times mia

vital cobalt
#

bruh, literally just got new kys

sick bloom
#

but looks nice, SpeePat

worldly vessel
#

Dear lord

#

what is that. cirSlain

vital cobalt
#

wat

stuck crest
#

i prefer darker keyboards with rgb

sick bloom
#

RGB is gay

lusty spruce
#

pudding keycaps with the frosted thing on the lower side

vital cobalt
#

gah, looks so good

stuck crest
#

people who uses white keyboards are the same users who uses light discord :x

#

Sadly "looks good" is an opinion so i can't say you're wrong.
But i personally strongly disagree. cirBaka

vital cobalt
#

whats wrong with it

stuck crest
#

now the one pea has is badass

lusty spruce
vital cobalt
#

did u see my old one? jfc

worldly vessel
#

Standoff keys, RGB Overload.

The BW design it self isn't bad tho.

sick bloom
worldly vessel
#

I generally really dislike these free keys keyboards, they look akward cirSlain

stuck crest
#

it looks better that way mia, why the change

sick bloom
#

Woah

vital cobalt
lusty spruce
#

oh Paulie I ordered that numpad you recommended

vital cobalt
keen needle
#

it looks fine

worldly vessel
#

I don't mean the missing nummad
That's dumb too, but not really a design factor

#

These Keyboards where the keys are in the air and not even surrounded till the base are just looking super weird

vital cobalt
#

figures thats what u meant by free keys

#

huh?

#

it goes to the base

#

they go inside the case even

#

the sides are just frosted

#

its still encapsulated

stuck crest
#

i personally liked keyboards better if they come with numberpads, cuz custom hotkeys

vital cobalt
worldly vessel
#

That might contribute to the weird look.

stuck crest
worldly vessel
#

That key on it's own looks like some weird design chair

#

Important question

#

Where is ya hand rest

vital cobalt
#

i have a few

#

tho i dont typically use them

worldly vessel
#

You should

vital cobalt
#

if i use one i use the one from my cooler master crystal edition keyboard

sick bloom
#

Imagine hand rest

vital cobalt
#

i dont need one tbf

#

i rarely even rest my hands on my desk

#

im a hoverer

sick bloom

Great podcast episode about AR&VR in the cloud, metaverse and entrepreneurship

sick bloom
vital cobalt
#

personally, cudnt give 2 flying fks about the 'metaverse'

worldly vessel
#

While you don't bend in your joint with free floating hand's you also don't reset them at all so cause contant holding stress.

#

Also, that can't be comfortable over longer time. cirISee

vital cobalt
#

you say that, yet ive been doing it for years and participate in my high APM actions

worldly vessel
#

it's not about the performance cirBaka

vital cobalt
#

it is when u play competative rhythm games

worldly vessel
#

...

#

That's not the point

vital cobalt
#

thats my point

#

xd

sick bloom
#

Mia is just a big nerd

worldly vessel
#

Resting your part's and removing stressen when possible isn't bad.
Especially constant monotone stresses.

sick bloom
#

fpauls german is coming through

vital cobalt
#

hovering is fine

#

very little strain compaired to resting

#

and can get additional leverage

worldly vessel
#

*to impropper resting.

vital cobalt
#

plays 6hrs in one session

sharp pawn
#

did you get rsi yet

vital cobalt
#

nope

sick bloom
#

Oh yeah I cant draw but I can osu now

vital cobalt
sick bloom
#

No

worldly vessel
#

Tetris me.

sharp pawn
#

i got random wrist pains or thumb joint pains and I don't even play rhythm games

sick bloom
#

I said I can osu, but not good

sharp pawn
sick bloom
#

also fpaul no thats boring

#

if I want to stack blocks I can go play minecraft

vital cobalt
#

i rather play DJMax

worldly vessel
#

If i want to click circles i click my good old round windows icon

#

What even is that comparrison

sick bloom
#

its a comparison

worldly vessel
#

Competetetive Tetris is just as Fun of a Game as Osu! Depending on playerbase.

It's physically taxing from execution but the thing making it really fun is t he mental strategical part that is on top of it.

#

Rythm game's are just "dumb" execution.

sharp pawn
worldly vessel
#

Still fun, i play some too

sick bloom
#

what

vital cobalt
sick bloom
#

how is it dumb

vital cobalt
#

ur joking right?

tranquil quarry
#

Pumpkin do you have arthritis

sick bloom
#

My brain can barely comprehend 3 star maps

sharp pawn
tranquil quarry
#

Usually but not always

vital cobalt
#

rhythm games have so much dept and complexity built from simplicity which is why i love, not to be rude but just because you cant see that dont make it dumb

sharp pawn
#

i haven't had any wrist pains in quite some time now tho

vital cobalt
#

just like i wudnt call tetris players dumb

worldly vessel
#

I think you two don't get the comparrison.

In a rythem game you don't think. You primarily react and execute on inputs.

Tetris Adds a complex thinking chain on top

sick bloom
#

mia how does one setup tablets for clicking circles quickly

sharp pawn
#

and i try not to move my wrist much when playing vr and instead my whole arm

worldly vessel
#

I play Stepmania, Osu! and SoundVoltex my self

#

Again, these are fun too

sharp pawn
#

but thumb joint pain comes from one handed phone use, stretching weirdly a lot

vital cobalt
#

In a rythem game you don't think
what even

worldly vessel
#

But there is no "thinking" part to it, it's execution

sick bloom
#

what

stuck crest
#

what about DDR?

tranquil quarry
worldly vessel
#

That's what the dumb referes to.

It doesn't mean it's dump to play it

vital cobalt
#

there is alot of predictive thinking and pattern recognition

sick bloom
#

I gotta think about when I need to press many buttons and how many times

vital cobalt
#

again just because you dont see it, dont mean its not there

sharp pawn
#

tetris sounds hella boring ngl

stuck crest
#

does flappy bird count as execution?

sharp pawn
#

people can do anything competitively and that doesn't make it much more interesting

vital cobalt
#

i can make the exact same argument that tetris is just a repetitive game where all u do is pattern work

tranquil quarry
#

Competitive toilet cleaning

jovial marsh
#

anyone else get dms about VR Games?

worldly vessel
#

I still think you don't understand what i'm trying to say.
Again i also play and love rythm games.
I even own a DDR Arcade cabinet. (Yes, a real one)
But compared to Competetive Tetris is's a thoughtless execution
It's a reactive game then a proactive thinking one. cir3

keen needle
#

where did fez go

stuck crest
#

ooo fun

vital cobalt
#

Tetris is just a game where u spin shapes, once u understand it its just muscle memory is is quite dumb

worldly vessel
#

You never played Tetris more advanced then. cirBox

vital cobalt
#

and u never played rhythm games to a high level

tranquil quarry
#

There's Tetris attack

keen needle
#

paul look mutuals :3

stuck crest
#

thats similar to messing around with a rubiks cube

vital cobalt
#

whats ur point, cos ur only just proving mine

keen needle
#

yo nah ppl who do rubiks cubes are crazy tho

#

some people do ot in like 5 secobds

stuck crest
#

insanely, yes and good memory

tranquil quarry
worldly vessel
vital cobalt
#

likewise

#

im just rewording what ur saying

keen needle
#

ok both games have high skill caps for different things is that good enough

worldly vessel
#

Sure...

#

I've not discredited your skill at any point yet you do mine

vital cobalt
#

where did i

worldly vessel
#

"and u never played rhythm games to a high level"

#

Is quite literally that.

vital cobalt
#

u said the same thing to me

vital cobalt
#

its ok for u tho yeah?

worldly vessel
#

No, i didn't say you're probably just bad at tetris
That references to Competetive with strategies and not just stacking for a score.

#

VS mean reacting to unpredictable things.

#

And that's where the difference is

#

A beatmap is the same no matter how often you play it.

vital cobalt
#

its literally the same thing worded diffrently

bronze anchor
#

Fpaul you do realize most high end competitions with these things have special made maps so you cant practice and do have to react right...

vital cobalt
#

i wasnt even going to bring that up or i would get shit on for some other reason

bronze anchor
#

Getting 3 tries and best one count isnt an odd competition system or part at all

worldly vessel
#

Ofc, but that's what im saying, it's a reaction game.
Rather then a strategical and though game on top

vital cobalt
#

its not tho

worldly vessel
#

Then what is it?

bronze anchor
#

You do have to pre-think your movement
As some things need different swings/taps then others

vital cobalt
#

alot of it is prediction, and pattern recognition

#

just look at any HD player

keen needle
#

in comp tetris no game ever plays out the same

worldly vessel
#

Correct.

vital cobalt
#

its alot of various kills

keen needle
#

why is hd easier for me than nomod

worldly vessel
bronze anchor
#

Like Tetris is almost no reaction skill and all about planning
Its why all competitve tetris games got the 'up next' block so you can think where to place it
Placing it isnt what you do

#

So comparing it to beat games is whack anyway

worldly vessel
#

Reaction comes by the competitive part.

stuck crest
#

i don't think tetris is a rhythm game

vital cobalt
#

noone said it was?

worldly vessel
#

You don't know when the enymy send and you need to defend, sometimes it's good to play defensive, sometimes offensive and agressive.

You don't know where their garbage lines end up, that's random too.

bronze anchor
#

Like if you think tetris is a reaction game you didnt play tetris enough

#

Bruh are you literally talking about the battle royal version...

worldly vessel
#

No im talking 1v1 competetive Tetris

keen needle
#

omg battle royale

worldly vessel
#

Not High Score or Speed Tetris

vital cobalt
#

lol what even

jovial marsh
#

woah! i'm sorry!

worldly vessel
#

And that is the key difference.
Because that's what makes it so much fun to me

vital cobalt
#

so ur not even talking about normal tetris

worldly vessel
#

40L or Blitz are more comparable to rythm games

keen needle
#

paul wanna play a round

worldly vessel
#

But 1v1 Competetive is where the randomness and reactive part comes in

vital cobalt
#

fucking lol, talk about moving the bar

worldly vessel
#

Do you know how to play Tetr.io Rin?

bronze anchor
#

Also Fpaul, even with the junk blocks and lines you send, its not really a reactive game

vital cobalt
#

i would still say that falls under pattern recognition

bronze anchor
#

Maybe if you cant plan for shit, but in most cases it aint hard to plan for it
Its like saying that chess is a reactive game as the opponent can do whacky moves

vital cobalt
#

but its kinda a pointless argument anyways, i just wanted to prove that you was being an ass towards something because u dont fully understand it

keen needle
#

ye a little

vital cobalt
#

then getting defensive when somone did the same to you

worldly vessel
#

I still think you don't understand that i don't intend to discredit any skill on Rythm games.

But that 1v1 Tetris adds that Brain extra on top that (the common) Rythm games can't do.

#

Either game takes a big ammount of practice and skill to master

vital cobalt
#

your talking about side spin offs not even part of the orriginal game

bronze anchor
#

Its still pretty 5head to compare any rithm game to tetris

vital cobalt
#

so any limitation u create is in ur mind

worldly vessel
bronze anchor
#

Thats an even more whack take

#

I too compare my cricket games with golf in the mental compartment

vital cobalt
#

holy shit stop moving the bar, modded tetris to 'classic' rhythm now

fast pelican
#

I don't like most rhythm games. I mostly like the Persona Dancing spin off games, and even then only because a combo of the music and hilarious at times cutscenes.

vital cobalt
#

ur arguments just make less sense the more you keep rewording urself

fast pelican
#

Someone will combine rhythm with tetris eventually

#

if not done already

worldly vessel
#

by classic rythm games i i mean literally nearlly all comon rythm games exclusing what ever special game might be out there that you could provide as a conter argument for some very special mechanic

stuck crest
worldly vessel
#

Nah

vital cobalt
#

u mean ur excluding games that are more out there to prove a point that ur modded game is requires more thought than an class one

keen needle
#

puyo puyo

worldly vessel
#

I have compared against the named games.
E.g Osu!, or Stepmania or SoundVoltex

#

All that is for is that you don't google up a new random Game that might exist that has special mechanics.

stuck crest
#

stepmania is soo old

worldly vessel
#

Basically i mean beatmap based rythm games

stuck crest
#

do you play beat saber too paul?

worldly vessel
#

Not really, i have it tho

#

It's fun too but im a fat nerd, way to unsporty. cirBox

stuck crest
#

oh nice, beat saber is honestly a bit too advanced for me

i never played beat saber llol i should try it out

sick bloom
#

smh

vale niche

rin are you serious

keen needle
#

yea

#

gimme ur steam account so i can try it

vale niche
#

bruh beat saber is like one of the first games to play when you get your vr... how have you never played it before

keen needle
#

wtf...

stuck crest
#

some people are slower than others

sick bloom
#

I also have never played beatsaber

vale niche
#

don you're joking right... cat_oof

sharp pawn
#

But it's very satisfying practicing and beating maps that you couldn't before because of the same physical issues like not being sporty

sick bloom
#

100% serious

sharp pawn
#

but i wouldn't say it's the best vr rhythm thing

vital cobalt
#

i dont like BS due to no judgement window

#

its a fun game, but not so much of a rhythm game

sharp pawn
#

but it is very good for entry level vr rhythm games

vital cobalt
#

much prefer audica

#

or synth riders

sharp pawn
#

yeah i actually liked synth riders as well

#

bs looks a bit more polished in it's visuals tho

#

I'm still not sure what the perfect rhythm game looks like for me

#

i only tried bs, synth riders and that one with the gun that i really didn't like

keen needle
#

gun rhythm game huh

worldly vessel
#

I think i have seen that one

sharp pawn
#

the one where the ground moves and you kinda stand still

sick bloom
#

I've seen mia play it

#

She's just a big ol nerd

tiny dome
#

pistol whip?

sharp pawn
#

yes

#

i found it really awkward

tiny dome
#

it looks too busy

vital cobalt
#

pistol whip i found to be too simple and not rly rhythm focused, its a basic BPM lining and thats rly it

keen needle
#

hater

sharp pawn
#

i also didn't really like the music

tiny dome
#

BPM but it's an on rails shooter

vital cobalt
keen needle
#

wtf....

vital cobalt
#

in their own marketing they refered to the game as more of a cinimatic which i agree with

#

not saying its a bad game, just that its tie to rhytm is loose at best

sick bloom
#

Rin, mia is an ultra tryhard rythm nerd

vital cobalt
#

wudnt say tryhard, im a casual player, but i mostly play exclusively rhythm games

sick bloom
#

Uhuh

#

Suuuuuure, very """casual"""

tiny dome
#

rhythm heaven is the only good rhythm games

sick bloom
#

Oh well of to sleep I go, one more day until weekend

vital cobalt
#

example: groove coaster

#

which is one of my fav rhythm games

keen needle
#

rhythm gamer

vital cobalt
#

unless u play in an arcade which i guess u could argue ur pplaying against locals, but most people never even played a GC machine so those scores are not exactly competitive either

sharp pawn
keen needle
#

mias the type of person to play ddr while holding the back rail

vital cobalt
#

i dont play DDR

keen needle
#

WTF

#

of all things

vital cobalt
#

im actually dyspraxic so i have major coordination issues

keen needle
#

whats that

vital cobalt
#

i just said lol

#

coordination issues

keen needle
#

ohjh

vital cobalt
#

i got alot better though rhythm games actually, but some just dont agree with me

#

4B linear style games rly throw me off, especially when patterns are repetitive chords

keen needle
#

huh

vital cobalt
#

rhythm games are basicly my life lol, they helped me alot though the years with coordination and eventyally became my job to make / work on them too

#

so yeah, my life is fairly exclusivly rhythm games at this point

jovial marsh
keen needle
#

y not the other ones

vital cobalt
#

hm?

worldly vessel
#

Rythm games are great

#

I really like adaptive ones but sadly the few ones i played aren't too great

stuck crest
#

i'm more into puzzles

worldly vessel
#

Exampel Audio Surf where you can just play your music you want and it generates the notes in real time

#

But not too much fan of that one

vital cobalt
#

AudioSurf is an awful example of a rhythm game

worldly vessel
#

Tho, for Osu! and Stepmania you will find most of your tracks as a beatmap anyway.

#

Yeah, Audio Surf is not that great.

vital cobalt
#

its fun, but i rly struggle to call it a rhythm game

#

i had a few mods for it to make it a bit better, but still

keen needle
#

fooni have u played the escape room game

vital cobalt
worldly vessel
#

I mean, it ist guitar hero ish. but also not quite and less complex

#

it could have some more features with it's playstile that would help it.

Maybe 2 has that. like slide paterns and stuff.

#

But 1 definitely is rather basic.

#

It still takes a good amount of recognition and movement on faster stuff.

#

Movement windows can be really tight.

#

My most favorite Rythm game is definitvely Sound Voltex at the moment tho

#

I'm not a grind for speed fan.

#

Sound Voltex is a nice little change whith it's variations.

#

4 normal buttons
2 Laser Knobs, 2 Thumb Buttons.

#

Allows for really interesting patterns and is a really fun playstyle.

vital cobalt
#

play wise its complex, its a puzzle game more than it is a thythm game

worldly vessel
#

Yeah it's a lot more motional

#

And that's what i like about it

vital cobalt
#

side note, they ran a mod of my mod for the world competition

#

which i though was kinda funny since i made that to prove a point that the game could be better

stuck crest
keen needle
#

D:

vital cobalt
#

then dean (the dev) went and vanished, removed a bunch of features and made them its own game (AudioSheild) which is just a cash grab

#

nice guy

stuck crest
#

i used to create arrows for stepmania, but that was like 11 years ago

keen needle
#

pro dev

vital cobalt
#

my most played games, and basicly all rhythm

#

i have a few off steam too

balmy lion
#

Gotta get the new Doom one next.

fast pelican
vital cobalt
#

i dont own a console

fast pelican
#

Oh, that sucks because those are really funny

jovial marsh
#

consoles don't hold enough games for a good price. pc is fine

vital cobalt
#

im a dev, so its just not rly ideal for me

fast pelican
#

I have both

vital cobalt
#

i would have to have to get a TV and shit, then find the strenth to pull myself away from discord etc to play on a console

stuck crest
#

people only play consoles because they don't really care for pc and be a geek

vital cobalt
#

last console i had was a 360 back in like 2009

stuck crest
#

my last console is a ps4 2 years ago

fast pelican
#

likewise, there are PC exclusives I like

vital cobalt
#

actually thats a lie, i have a Wii, tho i use it to brush up on my C++ / ASM skills

fast pelican
stuck crest
vital cobalt
#

yeah but i can do web stuff on the WIi, i normally challenge myself to make a some form of server on it

#

which is a challenge with < 25MB RAM

#

currently its a NAS lol

fast pelican
#

my motherboard has a BMC in it with more RAM than that lol

vital cobalt
#

yeah its actually kinda amazing how much that console can do given its limitations

fast pelican
#

That's how Nintendo consoles tend to be

#

N64 ran FPS games on... 1 MB of RAM

jovial marsh
#

pog

vital cobalt
#

TBF, that wasnt rly bad for back then

fast pelican
#

still impressive though

#

esp stuff like Perfect Dark

vital cobalt
#

1996 i think?

fast pelican
#

sounds about right

vital cobalt
#

16k was a normal thing in the 90's

fast pelican
#

thought that was 80s

vital cobalt
#

yeah, but was still normal

fast pelican
#

I have an old 1999 PC with 768 MB of RAM

#

That must have been a lot for the time

vital cobalt
#

i was working on a stores EPOS system a few years ago that ran windows 3.1

#

and had like 2MB or something

#

still going, just needed a new PSU

#

(2MB wasnt alot even for win 3.1)

fast pelican
#

someone with the right skills could probably build a system that uses nothing but CPU cache to run Win 3.1 these days if they wanted to.

vital cobalt
#

i think like 8 - 16MB was normal? i dno its hard to guess it was before my time

#

CPU cache does nto work like RAM

#

and cant rly be used like it either

fast pelican
#

yeah itd have to be a custom cpu design

vital cobalt
#

some machines back then had RAM on the chip

#

and accelerators wer a weird thing back then too

fast pelican
#

I still find it crazy knowing this is in my machine

#

more L3 than my first PC had RAM

vital cobalt
#

yeah how far computers have come

#

that a ryzen 9?

fast pelican
#

Mine is a 3955 WX

vital cobalt
#

jelly

fast pelican
#

So, Threadripper Pro

jovial marsh
#

why do we still have the L1 cache if it has nothing

vital cobalt
#

im running a 5800x

#

u dont need much

#

L1 is faster than L2/3

jovial marsh
#

oh i see

fast pelican
#

but a LOT more expensive

vital cobalt
#

its 50x? faster than RAM

#

im just throwing numbers from the top of my head

#

might be more

#

depends on ur RAM and CPU too ofc

fast pelican
#

Sometimes, I wish I could disable the cache entirely on my CPU temporarily to see how big of a performance hit would happen

vital cobalt
#

it would hurt

#

lmao

fast pelican
#

ik it would

vital cobalt
#

im not sure modern CPU's could disable cache tbh

#

they use it for branch prediction etc

fast pelican
#

I also found that lowering clock speed too much = unstable. At least for RAM.

#

I got bored and went underclocking to extremes once.

vital cobalt
#

i can imagine this is more painfull on AMD

#

Zen LOOOOOOVES its RAM and loves it fast

fast pelican
#

Its kinda overstated, at least when you're running RAM in > dual channel.

#

I have a quad channel config right now

#

could do up to 8 channels with more DIMMs

vital cobalt
#

im running dual ATM, only cos i chose to get 2x16GB so i can get another 2 down the line if / when i need it

fast pelican
#

5800X cant do more than dual channel anyways

vital cobalt
#

5800X can do quad

#

and ECC

fast pelican
#

No, only dual with two DIMMs per channel. It can do ECC though.

#

Only Threadripper and Epyc have > dual channel on AMD's current lineup

vital cobalt
#

fair

#

im wrong yeah

fast pelican
#

TR Pro is an almost unrestricted Epyc, but much cheaper. Its why I got it.

#

and single socket ofc

#

it does up to 8 channels just like Epyc, and has 128 PCIe lanes

jovial marsh
#

u neeerrdds sound like neeerrrddss

fast pelican
#

my motherboard also doesn't need the RAM inserted in any particularly correct order. As an example, my RAM slot 1 is empty.

covert mica
#

Most motherboards unless they're from like the 90s work if you insert them incorrectly, modern ones might have a popup screen telling you to swap the slots, before you boot, but it Will still boot

fast pelican
covert mica
#

Also i feel good now, i spent the crypto i had laying around to order the vrchat plushy, feels like i got it for free lmao

fast pelican
#

to be fair, it was a cheap OEM pile of trash though

covert mica
#

That might have been the issue

#

Like i have a board from 2005 with ddr2 that doesn't care

fast pelican
#

I've never seen any retail mobo be picky for RAM

covert mica
#

You can mix all you want

fast pelican
#

but OEM mobos can be horrible

covert mica
#

Yea especially HP with their proprietary ram

fast pelican
#

eMachines was especially bad as well

covert mica
fast pelican
#

This thing though... it really doesn't care if you use server RAM, or normal DDR4. Just don't mix the two.

#

takes almost any kind of DDR4 DIMM that exists, buffered or not

covert mica
#

That's nice

fast pelican
#

expensive, but it can be used for pretty much everything

covert mica
#

That's one thing i like about AMD, their just so open about anything, and doesn't lock stuff for zero reason

fast pelican
#

WRX80 is a beast even for AMD though... 8 memory channels, 128 PCIe lanes

covert mica
#

Someone might pick that cpu up 10 years from now, and actually get some use out of it

fast pelican
#

pretty sure it broke a record for most PCIe lanes on a single socket platform on release

covert mica
#

That's a lot of pci-e Lanes

#

Multi gamer PC when

fast pelican
#

and the board has 7 PCIe x16 slots

#

plus 3 NVMe slots

#

and comes with a card that has 4 more NVMe slots for a total of 7

#

I'm planning to RAID 0 some NVMes to see how it runs

I honestly like maybe 2 you will noticed a difference, but more than that, i feel like you are getting into the territory of diminishing returns

You two are too big smart

radiant vigil
#

This worth the buy?

#
#

Itโ€™s a pre built but given the shortage it seems to be good enough for what I need. I know Iโ€™m going to upgrade the ssd and get a external hard drive.

#

will it handle unity/unreal projects? is the real question

balmy lion
#

With 32 gigs of RAM and an i7? Maybe 10 FPS. sansgrin

radiant vigil
#

Yikes seriously?

#

Would I need a better chipset?

I just want a rig to do unity work on. Gaming is just a hope it works. From the reviews it looks alright and can play on ultra settings fine if I decide to game with this desktop which I probably will

#

VRchat related stuff like worlds avatars etc

unborn scroll
radiant vigil
#

Drawing and art programs should work fine on this

unborn scroll
#

Yeah

#

Vrchat stuff should be fine then

radiant vigil
#

Ah okay, Iโ€™m not doing any art school stuff, I wish lol

balmy lion
#

I think you'll be fine with those specs.

unborn scroll
#

If you want to do stuff like 3d rendering then you should prob upgrade

#

But otherwise your good

radiant vigil
#

Should be a good start for what I want to get into, upgrades can come later.

#

But the external hard drives are a must tho

# tranquil quarry Pretty sure Artemus was being sarcastic

I luckily fast read things so it seems like I have a idea of what Iโ€™m talking about when it comes to computers, Iโ€™m just a fast visual learner with a photographic memory. But Iโ€™m still a complete noob when it comes to pc builds. I have a good general idea of what Iโ€™ll need for the stuff I have in mind but not the experience.

#

Not enough experience I should say

cold widget
#

the specs are fine, vrchat is just a lot of unoptimized user-created content so you'll still lag out and get crashed and stuff like that

#

depending on your safety settings mostly though

radiant vigil
cold widget
#

those specs will be more than enough

radiant vigil

If it can handle halo infinite Iโ€™m set

pseudo jetty
#

Its just overpriced...

#

Very overpriced....

#

I think youd be better off buying the parts its made of individually

radiant vigil
pseudo jetty
#

I paid maybe 3.2k max for my pc

#

I have a 3080Ti and an i9 10900k

radiant vigil
#

Tried a few different methods and went with what was easier to gather since I donโ€™t live in the city and mail for delivery right now would take forever for some of the parts.

pseudo jetty
#

God did the prices go up again???

radiant vigil
pseudo jetty
#

Yeah but how does any of that add up to 3.5k

#

1.4k for gpu, 600 tops for that cpu, 300 for mobo maybe, another 300 for ram, 300 for storage

#

Id say thats maybe 3k

radiant vigil
#

It really doesnโ€™t, likely for the work they put into it building it probably.

pseudo jetty
#

500+ for assembly?

radiant vigil
#

Plus I have to go back Saturday to meet the tech guy to help get everything set up and updated

pseudo jetty
#

I feel bad for you

#

But if you can afford it whats there to stop you

radiant vigil
pseudo jetty
#

At least you get warranty and stuff

#

Best buy... explains a lot

radiant vigil
#

If I priced checked the same build for elsewhere for cheaper I could have got it for a little less, couldnโ€™t find anything tho.

pseudo jetty
#

Just make sure the thing is actually completely assembled and secured

#

And do a clean windows install

#

Definetely do a clean windows install

#

Who knows how much bloat bestbuy installs

radiant vigil
pseudo jetty
#

Yeah

radiant vigil
#

I wanna be able to lay down with fbt without the avatar glitching out jk

pseudo jetty
#

Oh god my gpu costs over 200 more again

#

How the fuck did the price increase again

radiant vigil
#

Crypto, and the shortage is getting worse because e mining is becoming a thing again

pseudo jetty
#

I saw it sold for maybe 1.5k a month after buying it

#

now its 2k again

radiant vigil
#

They actually had to stop selling high end gpus online, and are making it you can only get 1 per person.

#

But you have to go in store and order it etc

pseudo jetty
#

Very fun

radiant vigil
#

Scalpers moving on to gpus since mining rigs are becoming popular again

pseudo jetty
#

That never stopped tho

#

It should with etherium changing its methods tho

radiant vigil
#

But it does get worse the more people get into it especially with the holiday sales

pseudo jetty
#

Tru

radiant vigil
#

People saying omicron might shut everything down again I can see why people are looking for another method to stay financially afloat by other means. Thatโ€™s my hunch on the e mining trend and expected shortage of gpus and good chipsets at normal rates.

In Canada, I think lockdowns will be determined by this. It won't be by number of infections and relatively localized.

Oh oops read that wrong ๐Ÿ˜‘

jovial marsh
#

We don't have the data yet to know if this next wave is going to send more people to hospital or not.

radiant vigil
jovial marsh
#

The biggest fear is if they are downplaying the statistics inorder to reduce what are pretty much economic sanctions due to lockdown and travel restrictions.

radiant vigil
#

Last I check was America had 800,000 deaths. Thatโ€™s a few provinces in canada..

#

I saw people doing a antivax rally in town the other day, but know their was people who had their vaccination because work made them. Itโ€™s weird, because people are pulling โ€œitโ€™s none of your businessโ€ card even if they are vaccinated.

#

Not sure how stating or proving youโ€™re vaccinated is such a privacy issue but oh well

jovial marsh
#

@radiant vigil Watch the UK numbers, compare the hospitalized/infected % compared to delta. There's about a 21 day lag time between waves between the UK and US.

maybe

helium is what weโ€™re actually running out of

that sounds like it will cost alot of energy

sounds absurdly inefficient

torpid gust
#

quite the opposite

jovial marsh
#

huh

torpid gust
#

nuclear fusion would create practically unlimited energy lol

#

itโ€™s what powers our sun

helium is just a byproduct because the hydrogen would be fusing into it

in the process

not really

it would be almost the same as taking a star and incapsulating all of itโ€™s energy
