I was forced into the "PC gaming" market as a result of trying to buy a workstation for not a lot of money.

#

Not going to lie, I did eventually walk away with a 3900X, which is an awesome chip if you can get it for $400 or so like I did, but still...

slim nymph
#

these SSD's in XSX/PS5, arent they special built to be faster than standard NVME drives ?

golden gust
#

Tbh, gpu pricing these days is crazy, especially when you have the bitcoin wave and the entire stock disappears

#

apparently so

peak dirge
#

yep, higher bandwidth NAND and beefy controllers, plus onboard (de)compression

slim nymph
#

so yeah gl building anything equiv to them in raw PC lol.

#

without spending a good chunk

golden gust
#

doesn't really matter, tbqh

slim nymph
#

my friend spends 4-6k on his systems ._.

#

i just cant justify it

peak dirge
#

PCs will eventually overtake the consoles here, given that DirectStorage will be supported by NVIDIA and AMD

#

Yeah, the only PC upgrade I'd like now is to add a second monitor.

slim nymph
#

sure, but in 3-5 years my ass will still be enjoying great looking games 😛

merry talon
#

CPUs becoming obsolete lol

golden gust
#

Well

slim nymph
#

i get that for fps's input sucks

golden gust
#

Until you gotta get a new console coz ur 2 last-gen

#

I think that with PC gaming, you gotta be in it for the long haul

slim nymph
#

its been 7 years lol

golden gust
#

e.g. be willing to go the route of upgrading hardware, etc, waiting for deals vs running on release

#

and yea, that hardware is 7 years old

#

in 7 years time, the cost of hardware to power is going to have dropped to the point where it looks kinda stupid

peak dirge
#

But needless to say, Jensen is very much sleeping well, knowing all of you are buying his latest GPUs at high prices.

golden gust
#

(assuming we haven't broke moores law yet...)

peak dirge
#

Pretty sure AMD probably wants to start raising prices with Zen 3 too, now that Dr. Su can sleep well at night knowing AMD has little debt and Ryzen and EPYC are a massive success.

golden gust
#

Soooo

#

How long until intel releases a chip that blows AMD into the water and they have no real retaliatory response?

peak dirge
#

Supposedly Alder Lake is the Intel chip to kill Zen

slim nymph
#

even buying old hardware your still gonna spend a 500 getting the whole caboodle of cpu gpu memory mobo, thats excluding cost of case psu OS storage if your bringing that as an upgrade. but even windows gets iffy on OS upgrades if you used OEM license. so if factoring in any more, even building a 7 year old system to equate to end of a generations hardware still close

peak dirge
#

The problem is, will it slaughter Zen 4 (that comes in 2021/2022) or will it just slaughter Zen 2 at best?

slim nymph
#

and by them, new revisions usually are already out too

#

unless you just buy someones old system out right for major discount

peak dirge
#

If Intel is going to be able to slaughter Zen 3/4, Alder Lake has a high bar to clear.

slim nymph
#

but comparing used part builds to a new console feels unfair

#

summary: i dont thin theres ever a point in a consoles generation that a 1 to 1 spec build is cheaper in a fair comparison

golden gust
#

Well, yea, but then you keep afordably upgrading, or, just sit there for a while until you gotta; Not like prices of parts don't drop somewhat drastically for new hardware as it gets thrown on a shelf further back

#

not to mention that you're also more in the region of paying for a walmart level gaming system in a sense; It's all thrown together on large lines for a loss

peak dirge
#

Perhaps the big-little design will help by assisting in offloading all those annoying background tasks to power-efficient integer crunchers, or it'll cause all sorts of wonderful bugs in that famously buggy, insecure OS produced in Redmond.

slim nymph
#

hey assocating with walmart isnt fair, walmart is crap quality shit lol

golden gust
#

;P

slim nymph
#

what sucks for me, is my wife is pc master race, so i still gotta pay that tax regardless

#

were looking at doing some PC upgrades so we can pass down her old parts to get a PC for my nephew

#

just trying to space out expenses

#

oh cmon MS dont fuck with me. the Series X store entry just got removed

peak dirge
#

From what I heard of Intel's first hybrid x86 big-little design, I honestly don't think Alder Lake is going get there. Scheduling on chips with different ISAs is always a dangerous game to play, whether you're the person making the CPU choice for the next Samsung phone or you're Intel desparate for a market that AMD hasn't yet grabbed.

slim nymph
golden gust
#

wonder how much arm is scaring them

peak dirge
#

Maybe Intel cleans up their act of artifical market segmentation by allowing Atom to support the more advanced features of the big cores.

mighty storm
#

omg guys, I got a genuine scam email, like the ones people go scambaiting with

peak dirge
#

Intel ruined any chance they had in mobile with very bad business decisions that made sense in 2006 but are completely foolish now.

#

They basically let ARM have free reign in mobile.

#

Then again, Intel could've gotten their chips in the Xbox 360 and in the iPhone but that bombed hard.

#

We know what happened next.

#

The Xbox 360 came with a PowerPC processor and sold well, and Apple eventually formed a world-class SoC design team allowing them to snub Intel this year once Intel's progress had slowed down massively.

#

And Apple is using ARM processors.

peak dirge
#

Though I would like to see an alternative universe in which Intel manages to put Atom into the iPhone or iPad.

#

Oh, and the Xbox One and PS4 CPU/GPU slots went to AMD, which helped prop them up. AMD was struggling, and I'm not sure they would've survived to see the release of Zen if not for their semi-custom business.

"Bethesda confirmed in September 2020 that the franchise's MMO spin-off, Elder Scrolls Online, will remain active on PlayStation consoles despite the acquisition. Speaking to Bloomberg, Xbox head Phil Spencer promised that already PlayStation exclusives like Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo would remain timed-exclusive for PlayStation consoles. He further said that all future Bethesda releases will be natively available on Xbox, PC, and Game Pass. “We’ll take other consoles on a case-by-case basis,” Spencer said."

#

so every future bethesda game will be on game pass

i just got a lenovo tiny which has an i5 6500T in it

#

do you think that's an upgrade?

did i done fuckup here

probably a huge upgrade

from an ARM cpu to an intel cpu thats better supported

The pi is basically trash tier hardware considering

thanks

makes me feel better

honestly paper ran freakin great on the pi

atleast for 2-3 people

very curious how much improvement i can get off the 6500T

it's a nifty little device, especially for screwing with, and the price of it

i needed another one and calculated the all in price

and realized it was gonna be about 130 so stated looking at other options in similar price point

#

kinda stoked on that

#

oh yeah wanted to ask you guys.. so i got debian installed

#

going to run the paper server off it

#

which java should i get?

#

i've forgotten what i installed on the pi

#

Paper requires Java 8 or newer to run. It should run fine on newer versions as well, such as Java 11, but certain plugins may have issues. Generally, LTS versions of Java are best supported, though you may have luck on newer versions.

you guys: lol @ game stop having pc

I'm confused. Did you just answer your own question?

potent fossil
#

that was my question

sorry.. just talking to myself

#

no.. i misread originally so 11 is fine

but yea, you can run current LTS fine

So weed is legal in cali for recreation, but you can get the state tax removed with a medicinal card (renewal yearly)

basically to get a medicinal card, you get this app called 420Recs (lol) and then sign up, submit meeting request, it connects a video chat, doc goes "hi, how are you, why do you think marijuana will help your pain?" and you say "my shoulder hurts so bad and my friend let me try it once and it helped" and the doctor goes "im convinced. here is your prescription."

In Australia (Queensland) medicinal marijuana is allowed but highly regulated, recreational is banned

#

I've been suggested it but in order to have a prescription granted I'd need to give up my drivers license

#

Which is IMO a bit yikes

vernal moth
#

I think that's how this regulation works everywhere tho

#

At least from what I have heard

#

Imagine having to give up your drivers license for drinking beer

#

Because that's far more nessasary than for weed

That's actually incorrect, is a short term for "biggest assumable accident" and can be used in any project or szenario, not only nuclear stuff.

mental meadow
#

yeah but it's generally only used for that

tired heath
#

is it

#

Everyday I drink a lot of diet energy drinks, I use that word in an none nuclear meaning

#

just saying

mental meadow
#

The broad usage is mostly for nuclear meltdowns

#

Most other accidents just aren't as bad

tired heath
#

You wanna say that a lot of diet drinks are not as bad as a Meltdown

#

I'm not sure about that

tired heath
#

At the moment I'm going to drink my 4ht can today and it might result in a GAU in like 30 minuetes or so

To avoid confusion

It would be awful if someone confuses you with someone actually funny :p

Okay a more serios question, would you buy massivly overpriced Mario 3D Allstars, even if you may not find enough time to play it

quasi valley
#

only if I were a hardcore mario fan driven by nostalgia

tired heath
#

I did skip Game Cube and Wii, so I look at Shunshine and Galaxy

#

but still expensive for some old games

#

Also a new Zelda next month, did not even finish first one

#

Maybe I'll get it in the future, but currently there are other better games I've yet to play.

tired heath
#

proberbly right

#

might also be in discount in the future

wide chasm
#

Well, it won't be sold after March 31, 2021, so doubt it, unless Nintendo does a 180.

tired heath
#

Still waiting for promised Metroid

#

Actually the only reasons for me to buy Nintendo at all: Mario, Metroid, Zelda

wide chasm
#

I buy Switch because it's (also) a handheld, don't play games on TV or PC.

tired heath
#

Do be honest, I just used the handheld function when I was in military for 2 months

#

^^

#

Than never again

#

Just to lazy to take it with me

wide chasm
#

I play in handheld on the couch, don't take it with me either.

tired heath
#

Do you play Zelda? When I play it, it has some kind of whit overlay. May should be some kind of effect. It annoys me on TV but it sucks on handheld

#

Just wondering if I can lower it

wide chasm
#

I've played BotW, never really noticed that in handheld mode.

tired heath
#

hmm mmaybe some settings

tired heath

But maybe it should be like that

The image looks a bit blurry, but other than that seems about right.

Well I don't know, is how the console delivers it handheld, really looks not very sharp

btw. are you guys happy as well that TikTok is going to die? seeing as Oracle got it that seems like the only logical consequence xD

aight boys say you wanted to bring mining back on your server... what else would you do besides these things?

  1. disable iron/gold farms (kills iron and gold mining)
  2. nerf villager trades (kills diamond mining)
  3. disable enderman exp farms (kills mining exp & regular mob exp farms)
limber knotBOT
#

just add new stuff which you can only get by mining

#

e.g. enchantment which can get high-quality versions of existing ores which can produce better tools/armor

left swift
#

Imo nerfing iron/gold farms and villagers will always bring higher QoL for a survival server that shit is broken

There's so many things/farms/mechanics that are broken :/

you can make iron farms drop less and only iron nuggets

it aint disabling but it could very well work

dim shadow

just add new stuff which you can only get by mining
@phoenix616#0000 well i have iron/gold ores set up at a bank vault so there's still somewhat of a reason to get those... but then there's no reason to buy them back so it's just constant inflation

#

Imo nerfing iron/gold farms and villagers will always bring higher QoL for a survival server that shit is broken
@left swift yeah i hate all the broken stuff... :/

#

i get the feeling once i disable those three things players will come up with some other distorted mechanic to exploit

limber knotBOT
#

if you have inflation then you just need money-sinks for your rich players

#

e.g. leveling clans or pets with money, or buying expensive map-paintings xD

dim shadow
#

the sink was supposed to be the buyback of ores xD

#

e.g. leveling clans or pets with money, or buying expensive map-paintings xD
@phoenix616#0000 i like the map idea... hmmm i could look into that, i already have /tomap for donors

limber knotBOT
#

then I doubt that would sell if donors can just create unlimited ones, lol

dim shadow
#

yeah i'd have to take it off donors... i'm still in time to do that since nobody has donated since i added that xD

#

so it ain't like i'm taking away something they paid for

limber knotBOT
#

I mean, do they pay or do they donate? :P

dim shadow
#

right now it's a feature for the top tier donor rank, i'm thinking just make it per-map cost in game currency

#

oh look how convenient... the map plugin i use is open source

limber knotBOT
#

shit like this is why I don't give donators special rights btw, lol

#

can't add new features without having to think about people who paid money xD

dim shadow
#

^ yes LOL I've been in that spot :/

#

but then nobody would donate... i'm competing with servers that give so much op stuff to donors

limber knotBOT
#

well for me running a server is a hoppy and people donate enough to pay the server bills so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

zealous knot
#

Imagine competing with servers

limber knotBOT
#

*hobby xD

dim shadow
#

yeah mine used to be like that back in the day, at one point i had $200+ surplus

#

idk why people dont donate anymore... i guess those who wanted the ranks already got em

slim nymph
#

this is why subscriptions are so much better

#

sustainable income

#

design your ranks so you only keep the perks if you keep paying

dim shadow
#

omg lol i tried to do that and got riots

#

even though existing ranks would've remained

slim nymph
#

then maybe your ranks were either badly priced or badly perked

#

and also just ignore it, of course people would prefer paying once vs monthly

zealous knot
#

^ if you only care about keeping the server up, make donations a monthly subscription, and cap the amount of money people can donate to the cost of the server, when the months end, subscriptions run out, people renew them, and maybe even new people subscribe

slim nymph
#

why cap it?

As in paying the bills

not having an intent to make profit doesnt mean you should do extra effort to inhibit profit

I said if you only care about keeping the server up
@zealous knot that's how i feel about it, i've never pocketed donor money even when i could afford to

plus, profit can still go into stuff for server

i have 5/10/20$/mo subs, guess which one is the LEAST popular?

Whats so special about the new RTX
biggest generational leap + usable ray tracing

merry talon
#

its just absurdly performant

cunning raft
#

LTT did a good vid

twin lagoon

uh

#

more importantly

#

pricing

cunning raft
#

not quite the 2x

stiff yarrow
#

who cares about RTX when you can have xbone

peak dirge
#

and also absurdly guzzling power kek

cunning raft
#

but still obv better

peak dirge
#

I have zero use for RTX.

welcome to the party

I'm still annoyed that they turned ray tracing into a buzzword, it's nice to have hardware support for it, but still, it's just ray tracing.

aikar: which amazon url

oh wait

i already bought an rtx 3080

RTX is useless unless (1) you do ML shit (I don't) (2) you play games with it (I don't) and (3) you want to look cool

twin lagoon

but preorder

shut the fuck up korobi

#

How is RTX useful for ML? Wouldn't a quadro be better since you're not paying for the NN stuff in the RTX?

cunning raft
#

for price no

peak dirge
#

we need to teach Korobi a few new tricks

dry elk
#

why is most recent the best?

cunning raft
#

quadro is 1000s of dollars

twin lagoon
#

because it's up to date

cunning raft
#

RT cores can be used for ML on the cheap

zealous knot
#

I heard the new xbox has an rtx 3080 titan in it

twin lagoon
#

other versions are unsupported

mighty storm
#

Because it's most up to date and actually supported

dry elk
#

are plugins up to it yet?

twin lagoon
#

yes

mighty storm
#

Mostly

cunning raft
#

the good ones are

mighty storm
#

If they aren't they're bad plugins lol

@wide chasm its not true "ray tracing" yet, its tech using ray tracing to be much better, but there exists ray tracing rendering for photo realistic effects and we are a long ways away from that being doable on a PC at a reasonable frame rate, there's some implementations but they use a lot of noise while the frame is being rendered

I think I can live with an RX 580 for a tad bit longer.

Does rtx actually stand for

#

@stiff yarrow ion curr

wide chasm
#

There are definitely comparisons I've seen with ray tracing on and off, where I wasn't certain which one was with ray tracing on and whether that one actually looked better

novel horizon
#

Yeah

cunning raft
#

LTT did a benchmark

#

much better over last gen

wide chasm
#

Yeah, the leap is good

cunning raft
#

actually playable so I may actually used them now lol

novel horizon
#

Yeah, better, but still, if you got a good price for 2000 series, youre fine ^^

wide chasm
#

~180% compared to 2080 or something

novel horizon
#

what uses even rtx it's so few things :/

cunning raft
#

yeah sounds abt right

peak dirge
#

the leap isn't 2x though like NVIDIA claimed, they cherry-picked the worst case for Turing and best-case Ampere

cunning raft
#

@novel horizon games+ML

stiff yarrow
novel horizon
#

Yeah it's 2x in MC RTX and Quake RTX, but still

wide chasm

What a surprise

novel horizon

Yeah, lol

4Heed just scale ur website bro

mighty storm
#

That's just the power of azurre baybe

peak dirge
#

2x in RTX titles. I can't doubt that, but for normal plebian games that don't have RTX, maybe performance improves 30-40% at best.

mighty storm
#

Okay sleeep time wake me up In 4 hours

novel horizon
#

Yeah

cunning raft
#

which is still good

#

and for the price really good

stiff yarrow
#

ree all the websites are broke

cunning raft
#

nvidia really cutting into their margins this cycle

novel horizon
#

There's definitely some improvement, of course, but still.. Got a good price for 2080? Enough for anything ^^

cunning raft
#

tru

novel horizon
#

and RTX still doesn't look appealing at all, at least for me

cunning raft
#

not for everyone

novel horizon
#

I know like 4 games from my head that works and it's so limited

cunning raft
#

like tux said, if you play the games that have it or if you do ML shit it's good to have

peak dirge
#

Basically, Ampere is great if you have a shitton of money to spend on upgrading to 4K and desparately want RTX (or do ML, NVIDIA is king here), otherwise it's a waste of money IMO

novel horizon
#

Quake RTX, MC RTX, which is only on Win 10 edition and before was only for some worlds and then Tomb Raider and Metro Exodus I think 🤔

fierce finch
#

fortnite rtx on

novel horizon
#

And when I see RTX on, in most cases I don't even know what to look for

#

I need sometimes comparison between and even them

cunning raft
#

it's def just personal preference

novel horizon
#

It's like -much shadows

#

yeah sure

#

Of course it's nice to see that

#

I was trying that once and I was confused if I even have it on, it was in Tomb Raider

stiff yarrow
#

GS website reverted to a splash screen

novel horizon
#

and I was doing that without and then after some time i spotted that there's some shadows like they are softer and such

stiff yarrow
#
