dragon deez...
Pen! 
@uneven speari found some cool dragon art. do you wanna see?
Sure, owo.
Ah, modern yugioh-card era, I see... 
And if severely allergic, will literally eat shit and die.
if you don't wanna watch gamer jesus, then here is Intel's own presentation. Its the same presentation/slides at least ๐ Seems like the "original"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ZcZAplNX4
same guy talking from Intel
youtube is kind of insane from a technical standpoint
100% ๐
amd is pushing out the cpus that intel used to be the king of in that space
with their asics stuff
actually a really nice talk for the laymen I think ๐
https://youtu.be/fOSUZjhwYH8?si=5rn7LnVeG8wjY_Mt
GreenSuigi WR in SM64 TTM stage
4:20.69
(Technically 4:20.67.. he clearly just put 69 for the memes)
Heads up by dyno is more or less unavailable ATM due to discord funsies breaking
The de-Riccitiello-ification of Unity
tldr: unity have pretty much sold or closed everything they spent billions on for the past 4 years
Just doesn't hit the same
that's actually a pretty good anti-joke
Thank OwO!
Is this good or bad?
Oh, so they're facebook.
Thank, owo.
Can someone tell me why OBS records audio so much better than Audacity does? ๐
audacity appears to be mono?
Probably pebkac. OBS: Settings > Output > Audio, check bitrate. Audacity: I forget where. At minimum, check bottom left corner, ensure it's set to at least 44100.
When I export in Audacity, it says it's 44100, soo... ๐ค
"Soooo" check the rest, as I insuinated. Unless you seriously want me/us to detail how you pebkac'd rather than you figuring it out. 
Oh yea you're right actually
How can I change it to Stereo?
other than that they're pretty much the same
In OBS it's 48000, that may be another reason
work in stereo the entire time, make sure you export in stereo
No.
you cannot hear the difference
Oh nvm then
sample rate conversion is usually pretty well solved
folders are very buggy, it is better not to use them, when I upgraded to the new interface I thought I had something broken until I found out that it was because of folders. It's strange that they still haven't fixed it even though it's probably been a year already.
I don't think so ๐
Lemme rerecord with Stereo and see how that sounds
not even then, a proper reconstruction filter will filter out the higher frequencies anyway
Known issue. The answer is indeed "never use folders". The actual term is "groups".
Instead, use nested scenes. Ask in #windows-support /similar if you want help with that, owo.
a dog could hear the higher frequencies possibly present in the 48KHz version
2KHz difference though, so the dog would have to be paying a lot of attention
Ok uh
It seems like it can only record loopback devices in mono?
I have added a stereo track but when I press record it adds a mono track automatically
And then records on that
a sound card outputting 48KHz sample rate audio should still have a filter starting to fall off at 20KHz somewhere
did you try
Audiophile dog be like 
btw that audio settings in that menu is where you set the sample rate
Don't dogs hear up to like 70 khz? If so, it'd be like having a 4000hz lowpass filter, to humans. I think you'd notice too. 
Is there much of a difference between 44100 and 48000?
No.
nope
Well then I'll just leave that alone ๐
anyone who tells you they can hear a difference is lying to you and possibly themselves
Aight thanks ๐
it is outside of humans' ability to hear
4khz lowpass isn't bad tbh, just makes things sound flat and kinda meh
44.1 is iirc from the CD spec? and 48 is just a common value in pro audio. that's why those particular numbers are used
Sure, but you'd hear it, and it'd be real, so you don't have to be an audiophile.

44.1 is from CDDA and 48 is the standard for digital video
I toggle that on/off sometimes to diagnose the tweeter/midrange transition to find out which speaker is acting up
as for why those two numbers aren't the same: dunno
Cuz competing standards are nice
but they were both picked to be above the nyquist frequency for human hearing
but thanks to nyquist shannon and human ears, both are functionally perfect
Just plug your ears and say "la la la", owo.
oh and btw the hearing of a human toddler
My brain is inside my head, i cannot silence it 
anyone older is gonna be missing out on some of them
Oh, just listen to an earworm, owo. Chipi chipi chapa chapa... 
What does a sweet person taste of? More.
Thanks brain 
This the kind of stuff i have to deal with, over the deafening noise of machinery through in-ears and a headset over top
Hey guys, Is intel or amdโs integrated graphics card better suitable for obs?
Both work. Intel's quicksync video encoder on a recent intel cpu is likely better quality per bitrate
Dang
Woot deal
Only 120mm fan.. but FDB, good
Would be epic if 140
I can't fucking stand double ball bearing fans... they have a hissing sound even at lowish rpms.. FDB is just silent
not bad
or better no fan at all https://seasonic.com/prime-fanless-tx
could still have whine :/
true
$300 ๐ธ
its nuts how that can be even a problem with expensive as fuck gpus like rtx 4090 like cmon
The cost of great power..
price could be from scalpers 
it's only $300 from third party sellers right now
it was $270 at launch and that was over two years ago
it does look like around $300 is the actual price, though
The wonders of mechanical things spinning
btw there is a trick... just remove the fan of a psu and you got yourself a passive psu wow (i dont recommend opening! or doing that but i did that and never had a problem thanks to enough airflow i guess lol)
I actually just put a 120mm fan that blows into the PSU and the internal fan only spins at high enough wattages
the internal fan is absolutely garbage and makes a loud hissing sound
Yeah, def don't recommend opening a PSU
it's also an early implementation of fanless so it doesn't spin for 30 seconds and then spins loudly for a few seconds and repeat
err... I ment fanless mode
my seasonic focus has semi-passive and fan never seems to spin up or maybe just dont hear it
"fanless"
semi-passive with a cutoff point that wasn't set to where it makes sense
reminds me of graphics cards with the same exact issue
yeah, the newer FDB PSUs are epic
the one I have is like 2012 and it sucks
+1 to do not open psu's u less you know what you doing, but i've done it to replace a fan myself
I just have a 120mm fan blow into it and it's silent now, except at high wattages lol
if you know what you're doing ya still know that ya shouldn't be doing it 
Abselutely
I would much rather attach a fan to the outside and get slightly worse performance than open it up to replace the internal fan >.>
But also yolo
I've been eyeing this PSU just because of its ridiculous efficiency https://www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/HydroTIPRO850W.html ๐
it's probably not even worse performance.. just adds more bulk to the PSU
well, the old fan will block airflow a little... but...
whether you can attach a fan externally there or not depends entirely on the case
old boxes with top mounted PSUs without a shroud there or whatever... sure, if it doesn't interfere with the CPU heatsink
I took the bmw's climate panel apart to grease the little interior air circulation fan in it cause it had gotten dry and would build a loud resonance/wobble lol. Smacking the panel repeatedly till it stopped vibrating got old quick
Or put the pc in another room and long ass cables to another room and have silence haha
Just the final boss battle left then.. coil whine
haven't encountered that in years, tbf.
VFD's let you change carrier frequency it's run at, plz gib for pc
well yeah if ya got the space&money
Someone is a lucky bean
I got a good PSU and I live in central europe
Actually unsure if my new system has any, i always run vsync'd so rarely get up there x3
I do have one PSU for me thinkpads that does whine a bit when no load is connected, though. But that one I use for on the go, there it's fine as it wouldn't be plugged in without a laptop connected to it
yeah, if yer runnin in the 600fps territory or somethin silly like that ya can get almost every system to whine
Which is ok for me tbh. Worse is when your screen whines from the backlight as it's right in your face
fine by me too as I would never be silly like that
120 is plenty, 60 often times is even
lol
1080p60 makes big gpu hardly notice lol
For mine
24" or even bigger? Gee I don't see all that great but even I can see the pixels at 1080p there
and I know because me secondary is a 1080p 24"

try 27" here
Atleast things are big without scaling, but yeah... Pixels
I'm perfectly fine with the 800p display on the deck though
because yeah, 7"
it's fine
it's not a phone
that works
Anyway bedtime simpsons it is, cheerio
and roundabout 1080p is perfect for phones imho. That's what all phones have been doing these past couple of years, except for silly cheapo devices. There once was a sony phone that had a 2160p display.... so pointless
good night Echo 
Yeah 1080p is plenty for phones
gnight echo
720p tier I do notice, tho
every single phone that's on me desk rn is a 1080p class one
p7a 2400x1080, the g5&s5 are 1920x1080
less than that is ew, more than that is pointless
@karmic tiger ๐ป
yee
27" 2160p is still bare minimum for me
all depends on sitting distance
I have a couple 27" 1440p screens, and it seems fine. I'd wasn't to go up to 32" if I did 4k, I think.
Not changing/buying anything until after I move next, though.
I'm still waiting patiently for that 24" 1440p screen to come stateside
24" seems too tiny for 1440p if ya ask me. 27" 1440p does seem pretty close to perfect
For performance and size
Though I have 49" 5120x1440 ha
still lower pixel density than a 32" 4k screen
27" 1440p makes sense to me. Apple iMacs are 27" 5K (5120x2880), which is double 1440p
32" for 4K seems positively enormous to me ๐
It's less-so the size versus resolution and more just the distance to screen versus resolution
You could have a 85" 1080p tv that looks crisp but a 27" 2160p monitor that looks worse, pixel wise
I hate how big of a deal people make size versus resolution, ugh
Just get the size you want and call it good
Unless you absolutely can not control sitting distance
Heh I'm watching a 42" 1080p from 10ft
And im using a 50โ 4K display as a monitor for OBS from 2 ft away
Everybodys got different kinks ๐
I have 55" 4k at about 4ft away. It's kind of an abomination but I like it.
Distance and size and resolution are all relevant, ye. Or to simplify. dpi/ppi x looks good at distance 1, but doesn't at distance 2; for example
that's the real mapping
which ya get when ya know res, size&distance... (as with res&size being known ya can calc ppi/dpi)
24" at 2560x1440 gives ya ~122ppi. Which does look rather good indeed at the distance one tends to sit away from a monitor (70-80cm on avg). With 1920x1080 at the same size ya get ~92ppi; and sub 100ppi at that distance is indeed somethin ya notice
Just sit like this
lol
now with 27" at 1440p ya get ~109ppi... whereas 1080 at the same size is ~82ppi. And 82 is, to put it bluntly.... atrocious. At that distance, of course.
Ya wouldn't think it's that big of a bump until you've seen it ๐
I don't understand how people can play like that
I sit about 60cm from my screen, any further away and I'd be reaching for my keyboard or the monitor would be in the wall. at that distance a pixel in the center of the screen is about 1.5 arcminutes. a 27" 1080p screen at 80cm would have a pixel be ~1.3 arcmin
so yeah, gimme the pixel density
imo 27" @ 1440p is the sweet spot, especially with a near-equivelant of 34" @ 3440x1440 (which is my primary display)
One of the features that people want from GPD is "4k curved display".
It's a 6 inch laptop. /Six inches/. Why people need a 4k curved display at six inches?! D:
Purge the ultrawide aspect ratio 
Yes good Sapiens.
Also remove non-multiple-of-60-hz! 
I guess if you're gonna have 4K at that size you need to attach it to your face like glasses
so then the curve is nice
Only after I get a 4090
Wait so we get you a 4090, and then all the unreasonable monitors go away?! 
Then I can stop using non-multiples-of-60! So pretty much the same thing

I can tell you're picking up what I'm putting down 
if you give me the numbers on your mom's credit card I can buy you a 4090
Uhhh I'll have that cash back to myself thanks
Wait I guess that just means I give you my card instead
Tempting, but no
my 100Hz display laughs at you ๐
No! Bad display! 
(I'm forced to run it at 90Hz because 100Hz actually doesn't work even though it's selectable)
90 is better, but not best.
I have 360. 
it's annoying just how much 16:9 displays have improved, but 21:9 have not
I kinda miss 4:3. Imagine discord with both info panels showing on 4:3; the message area'd be like a cell phone's shape, owo.
Same with websites. Same with lots of stuff. Would totally solve the desktop-vs-mobile asthetics issues.
But noooooo we get even /more/ dead space on the sides cuz 31008439834:1! 
almost all of them are still VA panels, for example
I like va. 
Sure, but majority of 16:9 displays are QD-OLED and such these days.
yep, 27" 2560x1440p works as that gives ya the ppi ya want ^^
I've not had one of those personally. o.=.o.
honestly I don't miss 4:3. But having modern&good 16:10 monitors would be swell
Gosh, I remember when we only had three panel types. Just three. End of. 
Also my tiny laptops are mostly 16:10. 
just that extra bit of height. It'd be so nice
ye, me steamdeck be 16:10 too
I wish I had a hexagon-shaped display. 
because hexagons are bestagons?
Yes!
Imagine if we had UI language to go with it, though! 
honestly it's too bad 3:2 didn't pop off as much as it should have
I assumed the GamersNexus video with intel's Tom Petersen re: video encoding was gonna be a re-hash of this blog post: https://game.intel.com/us/stories/creators-welcome-intel-arc-graphics-video-codecs-editing/
Was it, owo?
Haven't watched it, if anyone can say then I can know whether to watch the thing or not, heh.
A gaming viable version of those double height (16:18) monitors that LG got would be nice too. So 2560x2880 res, but 120Hz instead of 60 or 75 or whatever it was
flaeri mentioned it earlier
Well, we can feed the transcript to Chat With RTX and see what it says, owo. What's the video URL?
Oh I missed that intel put their own version of it out in video form, that's neat. (Flaeri linked it above.)
would be awesome for folk who ain't got all that much space
So, the intel presentation video Flaeri linked is more in-depth than the blog post, especially the chapter marker "Intel Arc Media Engine breakdown" (I skipped the rest, TBH, it's pretty basic stuff there), and it would appear intel have paid for proper subtitles, they are not auto-generated. Should be watchable muted.

Hey guys, question about streaming on twitch. Looking for a gif for a banner, but its recommended 1200 x 480.. is there a way to search for gifs matching the size? or does the size even actually matter?
afaik it'll clip to the aspect ratio if it doesn't fit, but it'll still use it
and yeah I think there's some search engine magic to search images by resolution, I think?
@karmic tiger I found a way to search for specific size, but the banner picture quality is quite bad... any solution to this?
At least it looks bad to me on twitch anyway
to what exactly? to increasing the picture quality of a random image you found on google?
no
Ya can't just use random images off of the internet for that anyway
honestly, if you want a high quality banner, either make one yourself or comission one
I did jus that though and it worked lol @tall vapor
It just looks bad, so maybe need to just make one
I'm talkin legally, lel
Ahhh I see
other wise you're either :
- risking running into copyrights issues
- having the most generic ass free of rights banner
Do you guys have a good spot I can make one? A link you might use yourselves?
even if you're bad at graphical stuff, a banner you made yourself will have ways a thousand times more soul than anything you'll find on google
use the graphics software of yer choice
!editors
for a good image editor I'd recommend gimp
For a list of recommended post-production software, including video editors, see our list of Post Production Tools
Thank ya much, will take a look
You should also be able to whip something up in inkscape rather quickly, too. All depends on what yer lookin for
I am wanting to make something lord of the rings specific
yee inskscape good too but I always found that vector was less simple to grasp for beginners than raster
ye, all depends on what they're tryin to do
90s earworm just hit
I love GIMP, except for how it handles text. Paintshop Pro is only slightly better* but I am considering making thumb text with vector and importing it.
*Freaking weird kerning
yeah text in gimp is sub-optimal, agreed
Wouldn't surprise me at all if that was on the list of things that are gonna be better once 3 finally drops ๐
had to fuck around a lot with it since I originally learned gimp to edit doujin translations
๐
honestly I won't touch that program again till 3.0 drops, simple as
eh 2.10 works pretty well for me tbh
rememberin how to deal with iffy things won't help me if the iffy thing I remembered how to fix doesn't apply to 3 anyway
those workarounds I have almost forgotten by now, ya know
yee yee no, I understand
hi
Ye, wanna use that as a clean slate situation
And like... most of the things I do I prefer Krita for anyway
idk how to use krita
nobody did till they learned :3
yup yup
but.... I'm lazy
Me current drawin setup be silly, btw. Well... might seem silly, but it works. So basically I got me pen display plugged into me steamdeck, opentabletdriver is installed on that thing via nix
yee most of what I use gimp for is edits, not drawing, it's honestly a bit behind for drawing itself
that is actually quite performant indeed, whereas runnin that setup off of me t430.... oof lagfest as soon as there's a slightly more complex brush or sth
ye. For edits gimp, for drawing krita. Altho I do use krita for lots of editin stuff too...
it's just not so goddamn clunky
well the t430 is old
It's my primary laptop, and yeah I know.
Just wanted to have stated that usin that thing for that purpose doesn't do the trick
๐
yea
just funny that the steamdeck does, but tbf not really surprising at all
it finally stopped raining and I managed to get some practice with my solar imaging setup
I already know this happens, but it's still crazy to me how noticeable thermal expansion is when doing anything solar. Doubly so with a Cassegrain
unfortunately this one's painted black so I gotta put some foil on it or something
hello
Yeah, it does this when seeking in a fmp4:
hey just downloaded OBS, what are best settings to record songs on music production DAW to get good audio results?
I love that image so much
the first is better
Does anyone here use a 4080 for 3d work?
Just to make sure you catch this before it gets buried
Thanks for the confirmation
Fragmented mp4 is poo
you're poo
all containers seem to have some issue here or there. Best thing to do is just remux to MP4
no
I will just replace every piece of software I have that does not support fmp4
dammit, why show the image in the upload preview if its just not going to embed
it straight up showed it animating and everything... Good job discord
Most days 
yeah discord is shit with webp
Does the same thing with avif. Upsets derg. 
I just updated to windows 11....is there anyway to move the task bar to the right like on previous windows versions? I cant find any settings
only to hide the task bar, not move it
oh i see it now
Like on the right side of the screen?
Because micro ๐ฉ
60 visual updates a minute for that part of the UI instead of 1
i have W11 on laptop but i barely use it...anything of note i should look for in W11?
Beyond figuring out what you want to customize not really
If you need more in-depth technical help for your computer issues outside of OBS, you can join the /r/TechSupport Discord server

at least the default desktop looks nice
Now you can use window and display capture without a yellow border
In case you forget what your sources are
is this something you can only do in W11 and not on W10 for OBS?
Well you have the option of turning it back on too I suppose
W10 is all border all the time
W11 has it off by default
!yellow It's why we have this
When using a Display Capture or Window Capture source with the "Windows 10 (1903 and up)" method, you will have a yellow border surrounding the portion of the screen being captured. Unfortunately, this border cannot currently be removed on Windows 10.
You can try using another capture method in the source properties, but it's possible this will instead produce a black screen. We automatically disable the yellow border on Windows 11 as Microsoft allows us to.
It is only visible to you, and it will not show up on stream or in recordings.
you are talking about OBS right?
Lotus Notes
well with the upgrade to W11 I seem to have gained 7GB of extra space
No reason to keep those old system restore points around
You can get back some more by turning off hibernation if you don't use it since the hibernation file takes up the same amount of space as your RAM I think?
powercfg -h off
Hey @vernal current you cook any tasty foods lately?
i did 2 days ago
i made a new burger
friends telling me i should open a resturant
the best part is i made it by accident
You just gonna keep teasing me here?
What like the cow tripped and fell in
i know you like it daddy
Calm down dad
do you have a camera installed at my house? how did you know?
You don't get to tell your dad what to do
It's more common than you think
Cows falling in I mean
Not cameras at your house
...
so basically i made chimichirri sauce and marinated the burger with it. Then I added caramlized onions and mushrooms and a brioche bun and 2 types of cheest, cheeder and edam
best part is NO condiments
you know you have something good when you dont even need ketchup or mayo
GOD DAMN. PUT IT IN MY MOUTH
๐
I said what I said
let me tell you the accident part
You accidentally ate it?
Can't that lead to pregnancy?
my friend called me in the morning telling me he wants to come and make steaks at night. So I prepared everything for the steak and then in the afternoon he calls me telling me he will come but he has stomach problems so he cant eat........no way i was just gonna make steak for myself so I started thinking of what to do instead and saw that I had some patties in the freezer from a week ago and then a light bulb popped up and i decided to add the sauce i made for the steak with the burger
my friend was in agony as i was cooking it and then smelling it and not being able to eat it
he called me a week later just to come over and make the burger for him
Hmm... I have some ground boar in the fridge... Maybe I'll make Hakuna Matata burgers this weekend.
I almost had an unhappy accident on the way home last week.
also i think its the way im caramalizing the onions/mushrooms and putting them under the cheese that is giving that extra taste
Almost shit yourself?
Now I'm hungry... thinking of treating myself to Mod Pizza this weekend.
We are doing pizza in the park tomorrow
Now I'm hungry...
And I'm stuck with this bullshit.
That was yesterday, BTW. Clean slate for today, so far.
my cousin couldnt come to my bbq yesterday and now i have 4 extra burgers....i am thinking of doing them for myself today lol
Eat one in my name.
Also, no such thing as "extra" burgers. Those are just burgers that survived the day.

FF6 crew: โNever Forget Shadowโ
It's telling that I had never experienced an earthquake before. I thought it was my leg involuntarily shaking up until I saw a news post about it.
lol
last (only?) time I actively experienced an earthquake was when it woke me up in Bali where I was next to the beach and this was like two years after that huge tsunami thing in that area
so I wasโฆ very worried
O_o
Getting Tears of the kingdom working on my 5k iMac lag free was the easy part.. now I have extra challenges

Good yes you're doing the things! OwO!
Too much work. Beer and games sounds moar fun
This is why breaks are important, owo. This is also why it takes an entire weekend, and not "just a few hours of cramming". -w-.
Took me 4 months of math class to finally click with what the hell the dumb letters in algebra meant
@sudden adder what you maybe saw was just G2A advertising themselves.
this is what I see when I visit the site
I use an adblocker btw
it could just be a G2A promo on their site right now, but that was the first thing I saw when I went there
i mentioned that in WS ๐
and im running ad blockers too ๐
I know you mentioned it, I was following up
also didn't want to follow up in that channel since it's not really the place for it
yee
Does this seem like a decent price for everything?
?
What, specifically?
The price, the capture card, the converter, or something else?
Lol
Can I maybe get your opinion on this, Matty?
I dont play consoles especially old consoles
I meant like the price for everything
Lmao
Wait, so it's essentially just a more expensive and extreme quality boosted version of the list I have, kind of?
Lol
I googled it
Could do an Intensity Pro 4k if you have an open PCIe slot.
yeah no internal card solution for you.
And USB bottlenecks, unless you have thunderbolt and a good docking station
USB bottlenecks what?
The capture card that's in my cart at the moment?
In what way would it bottleneck?
Would it make the video choppy?
The laptop only has so many USB controllers built into it. The more USB devices you connect, the more things can bottleneck. Desktops can experience the same issue, depending on the motherboard design. If it's a mouse and the capture card, you will be fine. If there's a second capture card, or a webcam or external storage drive, then you may see issues somewhere.
Yeah. The root controller/root hub limit
Many systems only have one ๐
it's best to distribute your high util devices (like webcams, ext storage&such) across em if ya got multiple
I plan on having pretty much all of what I don't need plugged in directly to the laptop, hooked into a USB hub, in one USB port
Like for instance mouse, keyboard, and microphone
A hub is just 4 or more lanes of the same road using one on-ramp to the highway.
Sounds like a dock situation
Yeah, I know, hence putting the things that aren't most important on one USB port, using a hub
My laptop only has three USB ports, in total
Docks are hella expensive, from what I've seen
Lol
But that one hub is connecting all of those devices to (possibly) the same root hub that the capture card, webcam or external drive may be on. Many laptops only come with on root hub, the intersections that all USB traffic passes through.
Like 80 to almost 200 bucks, I believe
Worth it for the connectivity, when the laptop needs to act like a desktop.
Hm
What's the cheapest dock that you would recommend, that works decently?
Lmao
Ethernet, HMDI, DP, multiple USB C including Power Delivery to power the laptop...
lol I don't look for docks that way. I do look for value, but it needs to work too. I like Anker as it works with different Windows laptops and my Chromebook.
I wouldn't be using ethernet, because I wouldn't be meeting Wi-Fi in order to record the console output
Or are you saying that's what a dock comes with
?
How much did you buy that one for?
As long as you don't need browser sources for your scene collection, you won't need the internet for recording only. But yeah, I was simply pointing out how a good dock will offer certain connection types that may not even be found on the laptop. One sec, I'll look up the specific model.
Well, I wouldn't be streaming, I would just be literally just recording it
Lol
I don't plan on doing any PS3 streams, or at least not for a long time
Strictly just videos
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087R6W1VB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
When I ordered this one, there was special on it, otherwise I don't think I would have bought it at $120.
Alright, gotcha, thanks for elaborating, sorry for the confusion
Lol
I mean, do you honestly think 120 is still worth it though?
Xb
i recommend to future proof
It's alright. But depending on price, I might go for a different form factor. There's one that also doubles as a monitor stand, space to store the laptop closed underneath, and Q-wireless charging for compatible mobile devices. But it's a different form factor with different goals in mind, compared to the one I linked.
buy once, keep for long time
ethernet imho is something you always want
even if you don't use it rn
(The one I linked was marked down 65% when I purchased it.)
Alright
Honestly, only thing I would be doing with the laptop while recording the PS3 would probably just be using a microphone connected to the laptop, we shouldn't really be intensive, tbh-
Speakers?
does this happen even with desktops? i have keyboard x2, mouse x2 a fighting stick and a normal ps5 pad lol
It can, yes. Depends on what the motherboard in the desktop supports for USB root controllers, whether it's one, two, or more.
hello im new here lol]
it still says this 
did it just.. hmm...
maybe it just takes a bit to cache

whats the best background removal plugin for obs
i have one but i wanna see if better is out there lol
what GPU do you have?
how do i check
lemme show you the best i have currently with a recording i took
maybe you can tell me if this is poopoo quality or one of the higher end looking ones
is the quality of the remover any good'
Compared to others out there
Pizza time!
not mushroom 
Three outta four ain't bad.
And what sorts dessert? Fluffernutter sandwich.
Ooh! Nice
Open your device manager and look at your GPU
Or task manager might have the info as well, depending on what info he's asking for
He asked what type of GPU you have, not how good is it
A recording of you doing something that has a background removal plug-in involved doesn't tell him what your GPU is, lol
I'm hoping I didn't screw my sleep schedule up, cuz I was awake around 2 hours ago, but then apparently passed out, and then woke up again, and it's currently 5:31 a.m.
hi im back
Okay, Slushee vs Icee... Not the same.
Well yeah, I believe slushy has the bits of ice that's like Sonic ice but smaller
Icee is kind of like snow cone level stuff, yeah?
Nope...
Okay, then what would you call McDonald's Frozen Fanta blue raspberry drink?
Slushy or icee?
Not trying to be rude, genuinely asking, cuz I'm curious
Didn't think you were. It's a frozen drink, similar to an Icee.
Okay, then what is an Icee in your pov?
An Icee is a more smooth, blended frozen drink, with flavors such as Coke, or Mtn Dew, that can be easily drunk ( while giving brain freeze ).
Like this.
Actually, I was thinking Slush Puppy... A Slushie is pretty much an Icee...
A Slush Puppy is this thing, with itty bitty ice chunks and syrup.
Okay, so that description fits the drinks that are at Tom thumbs, better basically the Frozen versions of them, imo
Yeah, slush puppy is more like either snow cones, or those other types of slushies in my opinion that are basically just ice that I always have to chew instead of just drinking
I don't see how people are able to just drink it without chewing any of the ice
I had both of the things I described as a kid, and I learned to not like Slush Puppies, since I always ran outta syrup and ended up with a cup of ice.
Simple, the ice starts to melt, and floats, and all the syrup sits at the bottom, where the straw is.
It's also why Slush Puppy ( and Icee straws ) have that scoop on the end, o you can scoop it up like a spoon.
Does it not mix well with the melted ice, if you stir it with the straw?
True, I guess
You still end up with all syrup and no ice at the bottom, since ice floats.
Damn
It depends on how fast you drink it, to be fair.
They're both just diabetes to me now. ๐ฆ
Dang
I'm sorry about that
Ehh... I still have fond memories, and can still drink, if I don't mind the consequences. LOL
Lolz, alright
aaaand look at the time. Bed time!
It was bedtime hours ago for me, but I stayed up late, and then woke up a couple of hours after I finally passed out, until my sleep schedule is screwed, basically
If I was to fall asleep an hour from now, I'd probably end up waking up around 1:00 in the afternoon
Possibly slightly later
Cuz it's currently 7:19, at the moment
still weird to think that Paul Rudd is the same age that Wolford Brimley was when he filmed Cocoon.
Well cocoon is old as shit and Paul rudd is also a time traveler
not the best of comparisons, since Wilford Brimley had diabetes, and Paul Rudd chose wisely when he found the Holy Grail
I was 5 ๐
Ur old ๐
I was 7...
and you're on my lawn ๐ซ
Lmao, I love this sentence for some reason
Wait, whoaโyou're older than rob??
Paul Rudd is apparently 21 or 22 in this SNES commercial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvrWh38uuf0
I remember that commercial
with a voiceover by Megabyte
He looks so much more like a nerd, at that point in time
Lmfao
But he looks chill at the same time
Like somebody I could hang with
Lol
he's still a nerd
From Reboot.
For some reason that image gives me an eerie vibe, but it also gives me extra vibes that remind me of cyberchase, lol
remember when Hex became a good character and basically a thirst trap? Pepperridge Farm remembers
FAK
AVIF CAN AVUCK ITSELF
Hm, actually cyberchase mixed with the graphics of crash bandicoot on PS2, lol
You got bitten by the AVIF fairy tonight, too, I see.
Lmao
PNG did nothing wrong, please stop making it a second class format. ITS NOT TIFF
?
Genuinely asking, but what the hell am I even looking at, in this image?
Lol
its the characters Hexadecimal and Bob from the cartoon Reboot
When I clicked the link it said it wasn't available in my country, to watch the video
this was from the final season in 2001
When was this cartoon made?
1994 - 2001
It looks like they were working with what they had, in terms of the shittiest graphics they could generate... ๐
The plot definitely sounds interesting, though
4 seasons, so they skipped a few years
its basically Tron
but without humans going into the computer world directly
Interesting
The link I gave is all of it. ๐
As long as it's available in your country, of course. Now, really off to bed.
Why did they stop making the show?
because they finished the story, and they didnt get picked up for another season
I should try to take a nap for something, with an alarm set
I probably only literally got like 2 hours of sleep
And then woke back up
WarPlanets was another series by the same production company, so the art style was the same
Interesting
Kk
If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you live stream?
I read your bio a while back, and I've kind of been curious ever since
the Starship Troopers saturday morning cartoon I think was done by them as well
That sounds like something you probably had a blast watching, but I mean it as a genuine statement
Not an insult or making fun of anything
i did until i realized "oh... i shouldnt be cheering for the fascist characters..."
๐
since thats what the whole Troopers movie was about. You're kinda supposd to sympathise with the bugs at the end, especially when Niel Patrick Harris walks into the scene wearing a nazi uniform
it was directed by the guy that did Robocop and Total Recall (the 80s ones). He always had a specific tone with his films
and they were always great
RoboCop was great though
Lol
Kk
I'm debating on how I want to go about making content today
Whether I want to set things up for a possible live stream today, or a video instead
but yeah, I play Ring Fit Adventure for fitness and health reasons, and outside of that its a variety of games of the moment or just what im interested in playing. Could be Hitman, could be RimWorld, could be Quake or Doom, whatever fits the moment.
i have a 10 game playthrough of the Duke Nukem games coming up for St Jude Playlive, which should be... interesting
Have you ever played Minecraft on stream?
Lol
i used to, between 2012 and 2015. I basically burnt myself out on that playing the Feed The Beast modpack. Loved the Big Reactors, Compter Craft, Myst Craft and BuildCraft content in that
That'll take Forever!
I'm physically in bed.
I probably should take a nap too, with an alarm set, but anyways
Okay, then go to sleep
Lmfao
You know what I meant
XD
I love modding in any game. Its also why i have 50 plugins installed in OBS. Modding/plugins offers more options than what the original devs can realistically offer
This goes back to when i played Quake 1 in the late 90s
Sounds interesting
Would you be okay with sending the list of plugins that you have here?
I might be interested in taking a look at a few of them
Probably going to take a nap soon, though
One sec and ill get it for ya
actually, here we go, my log analyzer link : https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer?log_url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FUwlxf1BbeG0LdBjW
ya know, it would be nice if the plugins list was sorted alphabetically
's a lotta plugins
oh wow, so the Roblox studio head, "Stefano Corazza", made quite the comment this week apparently
I would have more plugins if I wasn't on Mac
weird, didnt know euro gamer links werent allowed
maybe something in the URL itself
lemme try posting a link to the tweet, then folks can see the article from there
there we go
such a great way to watch youtube
I didn't think that quote would be even worse in context, but it sure managed
Based on them losing money, it's clear they are over paying for their child labor
/s
they will eventually move over to a more Epic platform for creation
i need to head out folks, going to pick up a recliner from the local resale shop if its still there
Grab one for me too
I'm still in shock from that roblox article
I can't believe someone would be so disconnected from reality to suggest that learning Python is a good thing
Iโll check in a bit thx
!roblox
Due to a change in the way Roblox works, OBS Studio's Game Capture source is unable to capture it. As a workaround, please use Window Capture instead:
- add a new Window Capture source
- select Roblox from the window list
- change the Capture Method to "Windows 10"
On Windows 10, you will see a yellow border around the game which cannot be disabled. This is not visible in your stream and can be ignored (use the `!yellow` command for more info).
!input overlay
The Outer Worlds is free on epic right now
back with the recliner. I forgot that the blue tagged items are 50% off, so that $35 recliner was just a bit over $18 after taxes
cats dont know what to make of it yet, lol
i have made the greatest piece of modern art
LETS GOOOO
yay 
You sound great!!
I love my voice so much
I think part of that was the mutism made me appreciate it more but being at a point with no voice dysphoria so soon is crazy to me
Someone giving out used recliners??
I love your voice too! 
That's a sweet deal, I'm jelly.
Imagine all the farts that beauty has seen... ๐ค
and has yet to see in the future
just like combating chaos, combat farts with equal or worse farts
I'm still mad about having to leave behind a lazy boy that was less than a couple months old when I moved from Tenn to GA. I got it at the thrift store for $20 after I talked them down from $50
(I paid a work friend to drive me down because he had a big truck, but he was younger and packed it the worst way possible and wasted the room for the recliner)
You sound amazing!
how in the heck
I wish I could get mine to sound this good 
puberty cursed me
thats still child labor.....
almost all of robblox money comes from kids stealing their parents credit card or other means of getting money
i mean, its not that much of a stretch, other than possible libel. Even Epic was sued over their purchasing system design
I was speaking more to the claim that almost all (or even a majority) of Roblox income was from stolen credit cards
Obviously it's kids wanting to spend the money
ah
Just boring snark carry on lol
all the kids ive talked to dont have jobs anymore
when i was 12 i had a summer job
if i wanted to i could use my own debit card
no kids I knew at 12 had summer jobs
i was organizing a library in a house
some would like, help neighbors for extra money sometimes
I had chores and some kind of allowance I think
i made enough money to build my first pc
Yeah I could get a little bit of extra money mowing the neighbor's yard or something but there wasn't a lot of paying work to be had
other kids i knew made $500 just cutting lawns for the summer
But there weren't any games that constantly sucked money out of my wallet either, you only had to buy quake once
I did have a job by the time WoW came out fortunately, and had a way to support my habit
$10 amonth
Yup, I paid for my own Everquest account.
I had already played a bunch of MMOs at that point so a single monthly sub to the one you liked wasn't too weird
But there was still that sort of "You pay monthly to play a game?!" kinda attitude from some people
Baby if only you could see me now
they get on avg $10 per player per month
according to this chart
which ilost
๐ฆ
my chhaaart
also roblox isnt making money
they lose 340 million a quarter
last I checked, neither is Discord, unless you count all the angel investments and funding rounds.
they dont have stock
they are playing with fire
paying money to underage people
and accepting money from underage people
More proof above why roblox is a pile of dog turd that needs to be abolished from the planet
All these kids need to find another shit game for their under powered celeron laptops to play
lol
i think they should be investigated for having minors make them millions
along with parentel controls that force everyone to send codes to the parents phone
each time they spend money
if they are under 18
You mean "having minors help them lose less millions" right?
Because they aren't making shit according to their Financials
they are still worth many many billions
in stock
profits dont matter
stock matters
At some point, regardless of valuation, if you can't have positive cash flow, you cease to exist
not how much they are spending to get the rev
for now they have decades of money they can burn
You dont continue to lose a quarter bill per quarter and "exist for decades"
You are young with plenty to learn ๐
Stock price means nothing. EBITDA means everything
as long as the stock market sees it as its darling its finne
No
That's not even close to reality
Wall Street will ride something til it burns a great fiery death and then say "well, on to the next"
No matter what else burns in the process
Insert 2007/2008 housing crash
nvm its doomed
anything she buys is doomed
i just assume she has an excel spreadsheet that she throws a dart at to buy stuff
she only seems to invest in things that are at the firey death phase
jesus
A key factor for the firmโs long-term growth will be keeping younger users as they age into and out of their teen years, as over two-thirds of users are under the age of 17 and around 40% are under 13.
40%
yeah they need to be investigated for predatory actions
ive seen the games that are on their playform. you have to pay money just to restart lvls or get upgrades and pick locks
Epic is gonna try to eat Roblox lunch with their content creation updates to Fortnite, so this is gonna be interesting
Honestly if they made a "fortnite lite" they'd prob end roblox real fast
once they can figure out how to get back on mobile
or just make their own phone
they could just do what Amazon does and have their own Fire tablet
with their own store
as time goes on more people will have the hardware to run it
My kiddo has a fire tablet. That thing runs pretty effing well
and they are making a unreal engine uefn mobile
i think its out this year
also afaik they dont hire kids lol
Except the game feels harder to run today than it did 4 years ago. So I disagree with this
Bad otter
it was hungry
Posting bad stuffs
ages 18 or over can publish
To the corner of shame
because it moved to unreal 5?
thats just AA and AAA games in general these days ๐
I started playing forknut like 5.5-6 years ago. It's way worse performance wise today than it was then
maybe your puter is just mid
it probably just has techdebt
runs away
and they are addign more graphic code
My gpu will eat yours as a snack
๐ฎ
such a compliment, calling my GPU a snack
oh matty did you see the unreal uefn from last month?
Nope
Seems as though I've missed a lot
with teh spaceship?
What has been the conversation for the last like 30 minutes?
I saw an image where it looked like someone bought it recently?
Roblxo + forknut. So rather awful
how they are both making content
Someone who was the creator of ark?
๐ฆ I miss ForkKnife, aka: the orignal Cuisine Royale
Lmao
I despise both games, and mostly because of their player base. Yea I'm looking at you @terse helm

Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN) - UE5 Tech Demo and Roadmap (Metahuman) | State of Unreal 2024
pretty cool
they are adding the features to make fully different kinds of games
Also they will be moving Fortnite to Use Verse which is their own custom language
you wanna see a toxic playerbase. The core Hunt Showdown playerbase. Its sweatier than a sauna filled with E.Hondas
Sweat isn't an issue. Whiny spoiled children is
Verse is designed to be much easier to use vs C++
C++ is one of the most difficult to learn and takes 5+ years to get good at
not something most ppl can afford to do
I can think of worse playerbases. 
is it pokemon?
luck!
Nuh, owo. But I can understand why you'd think that. 
GW/GW2, probably. ๐
Whoops, sorry, meant to turn the ping off...
GW's great. Iunno about GW2 personally. No to both, though. -w-.
I'm hesitant to name and shame the community in question. Nobody's going to guess it, though; it was so bad that I never even brought it up here. <w<' The community was so terrible that it ruined the game assosicated with it, even if you don't engage with them.
I bet it was the Super ZZT community
They harvest such feelings of superiority over the original ZZT
Danged Super ZZT people ruining it for us all
It involves dragons and can be mistaken for Ace Combat. 
@amber sparrow #windows-support message
TIL that I can put FireFox plugins and other Toolbar icons/buttons into the Tab bar as well
Neat
Oh shit, that means I can put the new tab button in a stable location
Hell yeah, you stay anchored to the right now
ty Rob
just did that to mine as well ๐
i was wanting to relive the 90s with multiple toolbars of icons, and now i ... kinda can...
just needs custom separators
yup
I'm sure there's a way
Ha, almost
I just use ctrl+t to open up a new tab, tbf
i got my left and right swapped again, lol.
i like mine on the left
I'll call it well thought out when its visual style respects window states (active, inactive) on macOS again :-)
So long as the bugger's not constantly moving when I click it, any side will do
yeah
do you happen to use any of the Contain Tabs features? Or any sidebar extensions?
Never heard of it
Container Tabs lets you have separate containers, letting you have different sessions in each one. so you can swap between them for different signed in sessions of Twitch, for example
I got ff on my sys set to use system side decorations instead of it's own one (works better on non-windows), and with that the active/inactive thing I do with the decoration (the bar at the top of a window) works just fine. I don't do anything else to differentiate between active&inactive, way too flashy
I already use separate profiles for that ๐คท
different profiles opened via different shortcuts, too. All doable. Altho I just use ff dev edition for me daily use&stable for other things
gotcha
and then the sidebar stuff is part of FF already
I do that, too, but the rest of the controls still look as bright and active in the background as in the foreground and it grinds my gears. So I only have the titlebar to go by which isn't very macOS-y at all. But better than nothin'
have em set to use different themes as to make it easier for me to differentiate at first glance ๐
Luckily the icons grey out a little bit, which is also better than nothing
FF has a sidebar? ๐
Oh right
i have history, container tabs, and BitWarden in my sidebar currently
fair enough. I turned all that inactive changing off tbf, only the text&decoration in the decoration gets grayed out ๐
I don't like those flashy effects, I also got the preview on alt tab disabled
I tab to what I want and only once I let go of alt it actually switches to it instead of switchin through the windows. Much better
I wouldn't call windows visually showing their state a flashy effect, it's been the norm since Windows 9x :P
Well I can tint the entire application and such. Or have a different visual style for inactive... all possible
just flashy as in "flashes when tabbing between stuff" ๐
I don't think I've used a sidebar in a browser since IE5 lol. The one in Safari keeps trying to activate itself when my mouse is at the left side of the window which is annoying
And since I use multi monitor I don't want the stuff on the other screen to turn grey
that's just eeh where's ma contrast
Well, only the UI should change, not the whole window including the contents
aye. And that's what the decoration here does ^^
the only thing that bugs me with browsers are plugins that auto-open their "Latest Updates" page in a new tab, and give no option to disable it
I guess, but I count the tab and toolbar as part of the UI
Yes, that's a pain
And signing into a sync session on a new computer and every plugin needs to open their tabs at once :-)
the Google "Black Menu" plugin is horrible with that. An update tab almost twice or three times a week sometimes
Haven't seen the plugin update new tab thing in years, tbf
What does the black menu plugin do?
its basically a customizable shortcut drawer for Google services
I just got what I use most often in me bookmarks bar and that's it ๐
i would like it if it didnt bug me so much, lol
LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
Wait, what about that even needs to update
It's just a bunch of links
A fancier bookmark menu
id take a status badge on the icon over the auto-tab
I got stylesheets via stylus to make google stuff less jarring, but god dammit why are y'all so white with no way to adjust
ive thought they are good
the stylesheets ain't perfect either because google changes stuff so goddamn often for no reason at all
Best thing about Google. They have dark mode โฆ but not for everything โฆ so random AHHH WHITE
yuuuuppppp
they got dark mode for everything on me phone
why not on me comp
oh, so you want the Dark Reader plugin
