I am probably as basic of a phone user as you can get....texts/quick web searches/scrolling social media feeds.
My friend was a "little" angry when he saw my CPU-Z
I used to be interested in where phone SoCs would go in like, uh 2011
nowadays? nah
It only phone
which pixel
the concept of "beating" here is one I don't agree with to begin with
beating = I look at the number and it is bigger?
I do consider it to be interesting how cpuz displays mediatek chips tho
the phone itsjusttee got has a dimensity 1080
but it's displayed by the actual model
which is the mt6877V/TTZA
and no mediatek logo either, no just "hey, it's ARM!"
ah, so 7 series
fun fact: it literally doesn't
not that I care bout that
cause both are sufficiently performant for phone use
but ye, it's quite a wide margin between the two
😅
Raw cpu performance is pretty low on my important factors for a phone
aye
I've seen phones with much much much stronger SoCs, more RAM and all than what me p7a got
which run like dogshit
More powerful chip plus smaller battery is always a funny combo to me
idc abt a couple more fps in some mobile shooter that I don't play anyway, I much prefer for there not to be lag when switching between apps&general usage
"oh we got hardware that strong, we don't need to care abt actually targeting the platform.... just slap android on there and done"
no
that's not how this works
it technically does, sure
but it's noticable when manufacturers do that
especially when it's not the newest sd 8g2 or whatever they're called
okay fine.... it'd be nice if they at least did that. instead of adding their own crap ui ontop
yes yes, Cookie is opinionated
yup. Love it when me phone achieves 2 hours of watchin youtube before it needs to be recharged cause it's literally empty /s
Wow a whole 2 hours? 👀
!tech
And I appear to be getting old. Just had to change the scale factor on me 1440p 24" monitor to x1.25, the eyestrain just isn't worth it no more
i tried nvidia DLDSR 1440p on 24inch 1080p 165hz monitor . working great ^_^ .
I just didn't wanna do it, cause having an effectively 2048x1152 viewport is succy.
barely higher than 1080p now 💀
still better than 1080p right? :/
Nvidia doesnt provide 4k resolution DLDSR
3k is maximum which is odd resolution so i sticked to 2k resolution.
ye, and games still run at 1440p and all and such
but still
"2k" in pc speak which would be wqhd, or "2k" in cinema speak for which the closest match in pc&home use would be 1920x1080 (ie FHD)?
I have used DLDSR 2560x1440 for 2 days only . Icons and everything became smaller. I think native 1440p or 4k monitor will be more good
they'd be the same size at native 1440p still, but they wouldn't look like crap
😅
there's a reason as for why ya use that dldsr thingie for games only usually and not for desktop
And I just tried x1.25 on me x220. That's 1092x614 viewport...
and at that point modern applications just break
completely
you already know my opinion
you >>>>>>>>> everyone else
Fight me (kiss me)
love a 3440x1440
5120x1440 >>>> 2560x1440 >>>> 3440x1440 
7120x1440 > ?
Or whatever your spanned aspect is?
either way, me next monitor is going to be 1440p once more
but I wonder whether 27" would be enough (in terms of size that would give ya assuming a 16:9 aspect ratio)
27" 2560x1440 I found personally to be quite perfect
have been finding myself wanting a 4K monitor at 32" lately
I'd just use that as 2x 2560x1440, practically. Would love to be able to divide it into 1280x1440, 2560x1440 and 1280x1440 once again
that'd be me perfect monitor
Would work well like that if it was flat
It's not 😦
with the central 2560x1440 section being something like 32"

The curvature really does seem to kinda mess with perspective and viewing angle on this one
random pregnant cravings, strawberries, 32" 4k monitor
27inch 4k felt perfect for me.
If you need more in-depth technical help for your computer issues outside of OBS, you can join the /r/TechSupport Discord server
I'd probably trade it for a 34" 3440x1440 if someone were to offer
ye, def not curved
I want a flat 5120x1440 that can be divided as proposed above and where the central section would be in the neighbourhood of 32"
now
5120x1600 would be even better
but that's literal unobtainium
I don't think there are any that give you true 3 seperate inputs simultaneously. And I don't know how windows handles things, but fancy zones on windows can't really break it up cleanly because of task bar, and not all games like to be moved into specific zones cleanly
Gimme ur 1440p panels on the cheap when ya do 😉
ye, that's the thing. it would work via MST surely, but monitor manufacturers no want
sure, 2x 2560x1440 is nice too
but like
gimme a central 2560x1440 and then a 1280x1440 each for peripheral
I'm kind of considering getting just 1 of those and connecting it to my secondary PC and just always using 2 PCs at once
the way things are set up now they already function as 1 PC basically
I thought you enjoyed the simplicity of 1 pc setup these days
Weren't you dual pc for the longest before that?
heh I am sitting here with both PCs on in front of me right now
I coulda sworn you went back to a primarily 1 pc setup
for a bit when I moved, but I set it back up. took the time and now there is no complication, just turn both on and they work as one.
Hell yea
Synergy is awesome software
But yes. Me having to set me 2560x1440 to x1.25 kills the validity of upgrading to a 27" 2560x1440 x1.00
rip me
tbh if you use software like Synergy to handle the keyboard/mouse/monitor positioning and then set up some shared drives over the network, you can use two PCs the exact same way you'd use 1 only it is quite nice.
I like that me laptop that I got sittin to the side of me usually got it's own inputs, tbf
Hey guys, if anyone of you uses Davinci Resolve, can you tell me if you also get stuck during rendering at times ? If suddenly your render doesn't make any more progress and the timer keeps going up ? Should I just leave it and hope it will resume ?
is it something very complex, or?
cause yeah it can happen if there's a couple of frames where it's really struggling, or it might be that the encoder crashed (I'd expect it to error out in most cases for the second, but it could just get stuck sometimes)
Mmmmmmh soooo there's a chance it could just resume then ?
Since there's no error popping up.
Mine seems to do that on occasion, it always manages to finish after awhile. Are you using the free version or the paid Studio version?
Free. I'm on the fence if I should become homeless for the Studio one.
It's encouraging yours tends to finish. Now I'm hopeful.
how long has it been frozen?
you could come live in with me :3
Well now it's not frozen. But before it seemed to be frozen for a while.
Sweet. We could have gemstones pajama parties.
yeeeeee ^^
I'd say it mostly depends on the complexity of the stuff, cause for smth with like transparency, or a lot of video layers, or complex effects, it's not abnormal it'd take a bit to render and encode, and it can appear frozen if it goes slower than the reporting thing granularity
but like if it's spending hours frozen, shit's probs fucked
M'kay. So I have to be patient this time and see. 🤷
The new version of Davinci (19) is including hardware encoding, used to only be available in the paid version. It's still in beta, but I downloaded it already and am finding faster times on creating proxy media and exporting

1080p is a major upgrade over 1680x1050, which is a major upgrade over 1024x768, ya know.
https://pcmanager.microsoft.com/
anyone use this microsoft app?
worth it to use or another bloatware?
well but I do have a 1440p display for the purposes of having 1440p amounts of space, which I just don't get no more with how me eyesight be behavin these days
at least not on a 24"
next time round it's gonna be 2560x1440 @ >=31.5" (or equivalent), that way I can use x1.00 scaling again
It's a matter of distance, too, I'm approximately 90cm away from my 27" 1080p and 31.5" 1440p, 9pt Tahoma is legible with no anti-aliasing.
Buen día.
¿Cómo están todos? Espero que bien.
Tengo un inconveniente, lo que pasa es que a la hora de querer hacer una transmisión en Twitch, la señal es inestable y se pierden fotogramas, pero si hago el testeo en Facebook, no pasa y se mantiene bien. ¿Alguien sabe qué puedo hacer o cómo solucionarlo? Dudo que sea mi internet, porque debería fallar en Facebook y no lo hace.
Good morning.
How are you all? I hope you're okay.
I have a problem, what happens is that when I want to make a broadcast on Twitch, the signal is unstable and frames are lost, but if I test it on Facebook, it doesn't happen and it stays fine. Does anyone know what I can do or how to fix it? I doubt it's my internet, because it should fail on Facebook and it doesn't.
yes yes. For me it's a bit over 50cm, roundabout
maybe 60
!connection @mellow tree This is your internet, call your ISP about this. If you need more help, ask in a help channel.
@mellow tree
If your stream is disconnecting or OBS Studio reports dropped frames, follow our Stream Connection Troubleshooting guide for details on how to reduce these issues.
I find distances below 90cm noticeably more straining, especially watching anime on a 24" 16" laptop when power is out.
I'm sorry, but I still need to see shit
😅
Thanks...
(never claimed that me eyes were good)
24inch display laptop? 
that's not a laptop at that point, it's a foldable AIO pc in a clamshell design with an integrated keyboard 
I suppose I won the genetic lottery in that regard, my vision was better-than-100% at ages 6~16 and only recently degraded to "normal" levels, never needed glasses.
ye, ya did
and an inbuilt UPS, I suppose. Cause I doubt that thing got more than "it's enough to shut the machine down cleanly" amounts of battery life
55 or 65inch TV sitting far away on sofa with a controller on good lighting condition is much safer for eyes than sitting infront of 24,27,32inch monitors? 
I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, yes, larger displays at longer distances are less straining than smaller displays at shorter distances.
all depends on nearsightedness/farsightedness etc etc etc
ideally monitor shall be at your natural optimal focal distance
But a 55" 120Hz TV would be stupidly heavy and I have nowhere to fit it, so my smallest displays are 27" and my largest is 31.5".
but large screens are bad for desktop browsing experience.
good for watching videos or plsying games
all depends on distance
cause what that really is abt is how much of ver FOV it covers
I would put 55 or 65inch tv to walls mostly
for desktop use you want for your entire monitor to be in yer macular, ideally
near peripheral still does the job mostly
but ya get the point
small display hurting my eyes .
I love using 120hz 55/65inch tv for gaming
that's what I also target with movies&games, for that matter
I want a large high refresh rate display but there's nowhere to reasonably fit one, and most of them are 4K, which I'd rather not get used to. I probably already won't be able to go back to 1080p after almost 2 years of 1440p.
I cant go back to anything after watching modern signature LG OLED TV 🫠
having to move your head around in order to look at specific parts of yer screen is, uh.... no.
I'm still skeptical of OLED because of burn-in, it's very common for me to play the same thing for months at a time, I'd rather not see any persistent HUD elements stay on the screen forever.
real
then Micro LED?
that's only backlight thus far
and it faces the same issues, just at a slower rate
samsung QLED then?
as soon as ya got separate lighting zones/self lit displays uneven wear becomes a concern
that's just how it be
so really what we be waitin for are self lit displays (normal oled be actually self lit, for example) that wear so slowly that it wouldn't become a concern before somethin else ends up dying anyway
the closest we got in that regard is IPS with oled as backlight, really
not actually self lit, but in terms of "lasts long"
those just be chonky ass LEDs (comparatively speaking, ya only need a monochrome matrix at that point and actually only one LED per pixel instead of having to worry abt subpixels too)
and ya can still adjust brightness per pixel with those
therefore what I am really interested in would be nanoled (if they end up calling it that, basically microled but small enough to use one per pixel instead of having zones) backlights and then combine that with a very good IPS
actually fully self lit displays that just last so long that the driver board ends up dying way before the panel starts to show wear just are eons out still, by a long shot, and those are very likely not gonna be OLEDs due to intrinsic issues with those based on them being, well, organic
the proposed hybrid setup would at least last for a longer time, but yes still not "driver board dies before panel starts to show wear"
unless ya artifically make the driver board only last like a year or two, of course :p
the layered oleds as seen in the latest ipad pro be a good start though. Cause that way you don't have to drive a single panel that hard but rather can distribute the load across two, so to speak
general improvements to oled lifetime that we've been gradually seeing more and more of combined with just using two of em stacked, yeah I really wanna see where that ends up going long term
wouldn't surprise me if layered starts to become the standard
it just makes sense, they just need to get cheap enough basically
which all on it's own provides an exponential improvement to lifetime, if executed correctly
provided yer still talkin abt the same total load, of course
but yes, enough yappin 
Mega Corpo Game Studios strikes again
Concorn, the supposed Overwatch competitor/alternative decided to Block Access to Linux Operating Systems
This is why I prefer Indie titles like Deep Rock Galactic and Stardew Valley
Concorn, I hope it's a game about corn conquering the planet
It also doesn't say blocked, it's just not supported (and thus doesn't work)
Samsung Tizen OS is most fluid OS on TV's
Lemme trigger some PTSD for yall real fast
I don't think overwatch and stardey valley are quite the same
I don't think I've ever used a tv os I'd describe as good...
apple's tvOS is good
Yeah, I should have said integrated tv os. AppleTVs are a pretty great
Am I allowed to share a youtube video if its on topic?
yes
Ok, just wanted to make sure.
Regarding the Proton Blocked on Concord. This is the source I got that from https://youtu.be/fuiqEvay__I?si=2G_V2PTEUdQB1VB6
It mentions that a PSN Overlay or Custom Windows DLL is at play here.
Or intentional Proton/Wine blocking, just like Bungie with Destiny 2
because cheating preventing
is it even a direct block, or just because they don't allow hooking into it, which proton/wine likely does?
Basicly, you enable Steam Play, double click to open the game and get a "Proton, Steam Play, SteamDeck is not supported by this application" dialog box
I watched the whole rant video and it's just that, a rant. Supporting a new platform is a lot harder than "just enabling support"... famously there's statistics for games along the line "Despite 2% of sales, Linux made up 40% of bug reports". That may just be something companies don't want to deal with.
And also anti-cheat
I see
Huh, i wonder why my usb-c cable isnt working anymore
Doesnt take much apparently
Was in my steamdeck bad plugged into a battery pack. Must have hit something at JUST the right angle to dislodge things
Similar had happened to HDMI cables ive had plugged into my gaming display
wsup guys
Why not?
That fest was in june not july
And I don't need to be proud about a trend
I don't know what point you're trying to make but I'd probably just stop right there.
We are not taking suggestions on the server icon at this time.
Okay, I only asked a question bro, cool down. Every time I ask a symilar question people getting triggered
And I don't need to be proud about a trend
can you elaborate on this?
Sure, It's a answer to the question:"why not?"
Because it's a bad faith question and you're looking to trigger people, like implying pride month/LGBTQ+ is a trend. The server icon doesn't affect you and complaining about it is petty, if it bothers you that much feel free to leave as this may not be the community for you.
hello
https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-introduces-14th-gen-core-skus-without-e-cores-125w-core-i9-14901ke-features-8-p-cores-16-threads would be interesting to test if these have the same ~20% failure rate as the other chips
that is such a classical misinterpretment of what's going on there it's unbelievable. "mimimi there are so many folk on lin that be reporting bugs I can't deal with that"
Have you ever checked whether those bugs are Linux exclusive in the first place? Lin folk report bugs when they see em instead of just going "eh whatever"
Your game is buggy af? oh nono, it's those linux users

Can't be mac users if you don't ship a mac build 
How about those people start with replicating bugs on a supported platform themselves, i.e. windows. Let the users do the liftin' /s
But no gameplay stuff, yeah that warrents a check. Boot/visual/render pipeline/etc deeper issues coming from someone emulating/wrapping the game? Good luck
- Lgbt... is a trend of the moment, gays were always prensent in the hidtory, also in 2015, when lgbt... wasn'y so big (why is it so big now?)
- It's people problem if they trigger and can't have a normal conversation whitout ban or scream
Nobody is looking for a debate or your take here. Deal with it or go.
- I'm not a damn hater of the icon and also not of the lgbtq...
Why do people don't understanding it. - do you see it? you can't self give me a good argumentation, you are seing to me only "deal with it or go"
yah. I know when to report something with the game vs with what I got going on. And if it's indeed not with the game... it ain't like yer aren't pointing folk to nvidia/amd/intel with windows as well, lel
Its a movement for people to be able to express themselves without being discriminated against. Because in history they have been commonly discriminated against and treated unfairly.
I answered you here #off-topic message and advised you to can it. Nobody is obligated to "give you an argument" here and if you aren't a hater I don't see why you decided to be a debatelord about the server icon or engage in this conversation at all. So last warning, please drop it.
Calling it a trend makes it sound like them being who they are is temporary. Im just saying, the word choice you have used to describe the LGBTQ movement sounds like you are against it.
There was no law in 2015 that descriminated people in USA or Europe
Discrimination isn't a law.. What are you on about?
LGBTQ is a peace movement meant for people with sexuality or gender preferences.
The entire point of it is to say it is okay to be who you are, and that it doesn't make someone less of a person if they are gay, lesbian, straight, trans, ect.
It's an equality movement, because in history, if you were gay, you would get killed for it like you were a disease.
and there are still parts of the US trying to go back to a time where killing/ruining the lives of LGBTQ people is legal
Omg, it can't be possible that you understanded that descrimination is a law, this happens when kids discover politics😂
exactly, places liek Texas, Tennesse, and Florida do that.
what?
Discrimination is a social construct.
Lgbtq is not a peace movement
You have failed to follow my simple instructions
Uh... yeah it is?
Moving on
Im 110% confident that LGBTQ is a peace movement man.
I think you are just saying this because you just don't like Gays, or transgendered people and ect.
Sadly most people don't, just "i get this weird thing running it on my wacko system with random settings changed i don't know what do, plz help"
Cookie be sippin da coffee 
those folk usually be win folk from what I've noticed
And yes, i too hate when i get told to try "reinstalling" or factory resetting to fix things 
Bigger user share = more chance it's one of those.
Happends across it all sadly
aye
that's undoubtedly gonna change the more commoners start to use lin systems. so to speak
Already has with the steamdeck/etc i'm sure
...i need to find out how to get gunuine xiomi...xiaomi? Whatever brand watch straps cause these whatever-off-ebay-etc just don't last at all
Either way. Wine/proton and such all make no effort to hide that they are indeed wine/proton/whatever, just like windows 10 makes no effort to hide that it's windows 10 and just like nvidia drivers make no effort to hide that they're nvidia drivers either. Have them reports sorted/automatically pretriaged accordingly and yer gonna have a much sweeter experience with triaging them all anyway. Like it would've been sweet atm to have "okay so why are there so many reports that are tagged intel 13th gen/intel 14th gen as of late"
Some already do that
aye, some do
And factorio who forces crash reporting iiirc did some ocassional nicely detailed views into it
the silicone straps (okay, very unfortunate wording there) don't last in general, imho
gonna look into that now, I doubt that I've ever aggreed to data collection there 
okay I really dunno whether "upload crash logs" is unchecked by default or if I unchecked that years ago 
<.< well my attempt to convert ppl to otterism is working
i didnt know it was rule breaking
🤣 Only working for the folks that don't know what sick things some otters can do.
you literally aren't the one who's being @ ed there
theres some bad apples yes
but they still cute tho
yeah, having that checked by default without informing the user of it/asking the user.... that's bad
you cant say stealing surfboards isnt pretty based tho
had a crow go through my stuff while out bathing the other day
😂 Yup, that's the stuff I'm talking about.
https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-231#:~:text=Crash log uploading (Twinsen) here's a bit more detail on it
even friggin sony has a "boohoo my game is buggy&therefore it crashed, would you like to hand the crash report to us so that we can throw it directly into the bin without doing anythin abt it" prompt
with the report going straight to the bin anyway cuz it's sony
if you make it opt out then you gotta inform yer users still, lel. Like by agreeing to yer eula or whatever
lel
i.e. the EULA change
yes. and you gotta inform folk when they start the game for the first time&make them agree to it and all
at least from my understanding
which it does iirc? (brb downloading to check)
block 'em and report to discord

that must be in the game then, cause steam itself doesn't report any EULA or somethin for it
should be on boot, or i'm thinking of the changelog that pops up, not sure anymore. gonna check
well then all u can do is block
He was just a uninformed homophobe, I gave up lmao
man sent me a clickbait youtube video and tried to act like it was credible info lmao.

jup, checked on steamdb to make sure. Nothin that would have steam prompt you with the EULA when you first start the game cause well there's none that steam knows abt/that the devs handed to steam
ive had to deal with lots of those kinds of comments on my mods
some ppl just really love to hate other ppl
seems fishy, ngl
Fish? 
they are known to just hunt ppl
who enter their river
they are like the southern bible belt otters
socio-economics based upon fish?
just stay off their lawn and its good
and rocks
that rocks, dude
god i forgot how much windows file transfers hate lots of small files
okay, rocks I understand. There are some really fancy rocks out there
The solution ms offers: Just open WSL and copy em with that
correct, no EULA pop up, it's in the about menu, and doesn't seem to mention the crashlog stuff besides the usual data sharing stuff in there?
just starts out with the usual "by using his software you agree to the terms"
and upload is on by default
does that prompt link to the terms/show the terms?
and they don't tell you in the "by using this software you agree to the terms" where the terms are actually to be found?
Yikes
I know I know, that's all to common.... but it really shouldn't be like this
that's what the ToS/EULA document starts with
and the game doesn't tell you abt that. cool cool. not
u no agree to terms when launching the game, the game doesn't make you agree to terms, nothing does
the login creation on their site probably does, when you buy the game via that
well that's likely, ye. But on steam? nah
ya never agree to any of factorio's terms
you go tell 'em
and go piss off whoever has the message-snooping bot in here aswell
oh they're gonna hit me with the "but but but other games&applications do it as well" just like they did in the blog post abt it
lol
and you agreed to the ToS by launching/creating an account/etc anyway
you can't agree to something that you don't know about, do ya
when creating an account on their site? They clearly ask you
no idea how the steam purchasing workflow works
when buying&launching the game? nope
you can include the terms on yer steam page, you can make steam prompt users with the terms when they launch it for the first time etc
factorio does neither
so really the only place you are made aware of them terms being a thing is when you create an account on the factorio site
sea otters will keep their fav rocks under their arms
their fav rock is the best kind to open clams with
ah that's interesting, cause that's exactly where I keep me phone when I don't have either hand free&don't have any pockets either
Prison pocket?

not for common smart phones, that one
You'd definitely know when it was ringing.
still here
You know its concerning when your friend DMs you asking for help when they installed Hackintosh on their PC
just had one of the weirdest computer weirdnesses that I've had in a long while. Audio was shifted down by like 10Hz or so
WITHOUT it being slowed
That gotta be somethin with me interface, it's just too weird
Sorry, but Hackintoshes are NOT something I can do
Oh but you know things with computers!
How the heck am I suppose to help with a Hackintosh?
either way, unplugging it&plugging it back in twice fixed it
I know jack shit about the MacOS bullshit
yer aren't. I just joked about how folk assume that you know everything bout computers cause you do things with computers
Yes
Just like I supposedly know everything there is to know about computers as well. Hah, no
Unless you want a Cease and Desist from Apple, sure, go for it
they would love it if that was somethin that they could do, but alas
Ah
I dont even know if Hackintoshes is still possible today
how hackintosh stuffs works is just as legal as emulators are
For as long as there are official x86_64 macs that are still supported it's possible
I thought Apple told the Darwin Kernel not to work on today's processors and only their own ARM SoC's
oh nono, x86_64 is still supported on darwin and will be till the end of time
by installign windows on it againf or them, and then some god awful MacOS skin instead
you can even just download darwin yourself and make it work on whatever ya want
True
or do that but linux i guess, seems your kind of awful idea
darwin never was&never will be the issue here
KDE Plasma can easily pull that off
As is the case with Wubuntu
shivers
darwin LITERALLY is oss
well, most of it
some parts are proprietary apple
either way
ya can still go for the most recent
cause there are still official macs that got x86_64 that are officially supported
Interesting
there won't be in due time, but for now there are
I know MacOS is a Unix type system
just like yer PS5 is, in that regard
whatever version has driver support for his stuff
so go pester them about their awful choices
Ahhh yes, FreeBSD
aye
And then they wont listen, good plan
Becuz "i dont know what i am talking about"
you're supposed to listen to THEM
Yes
just ignore whenever they talk abt stuffs for which you've told them 30 times that ya can't help them cause you literally don't use it already
Now what would be the use case for a Hackintosh today for him?
Same way it works when me grandma asks me abt iphone things for the most part, really
I can do some things sure, but that's the real basics
Guess I will find out at some point
There is the iPhone for that
not if ya want stuffs that is only on mac
MacOS apps aren't on the iphone..
If you start dealing with MacOS stuff, consider me not helping you
they want it for the same reason ya'll run linux, a pet project to waste time on and do nothing productive with
/s (plz no kill)
As I said, I know jack shit about MacOS
I mean, I and others have their use cases
Can't kill someone who's already dead 
(says the guy playing idle games and watching youtube on a well capable gaming windows system)
Are you spying on me? :/
For me, a Operating System that wont annoy me to shit and that wont pester me with updates
you just haven't realised that you already are
this cold sure is trying tho 
Thats me too sometimes
gimme please
I'd rather winter get it's ass back here, summer sucks.
cold, the illness. not cold, the good weather, atleast not till tomorrow that shows up
ah, unfortunate. You can keep it, then
what stops you
It still being Winter here
I can just run around in shorts in the winter, so all good.
Since I am close to the coastline
more than 14°C? That's shorts weather right there
more gaming on the heating system then
Go away....
My Windows SSD is so stupidly hooked up, both the front and back panel is off
Look, I converted to Celsius for you heathens.
But hey, it works hahahaha
you just unheathened yourself by doing that
please keep it that way, thank you
Im more of a heathen as I prefer 12-hour format
why not move out of satan's butthole
why
Agreed, why?
I pefer it being simple
but more importantly, why not Zulu time the world?
cause that's literally just UTC
I want to laugh if my friend starts dealing with MacOS Audio
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...
Jesus I am gonna have a good time with that
Last I heard it did not worky
then that got somethin to do with their hackintosh stuffs, lol
I guess I will find out hahahahah
Oh and OBS Studio capturing games
This is gonna be interesting
it's all apps baby
I'm trying to apply logic here
also cuz angry birds on a big screen fucks fr fr
can do that too
the same way I do android things on the deck 😅
don't see why I would do that on PC, but I /COULD/
i had it on the touch screen radio in my car 

real fun when backed by a healthy 12" sub on impact sounds
For a sec I was picturing Flappy, not Angry. 😂
you don't need a subwoofer to get impacted by the tailgater that just didn't back tf off, do you
or some idiot coming at you head-on cuz they forgot to look at traffic and avoid into oncoming lane instead of braking and limiting the amount of pain they cause
the subwoofer will do it more than once tho 

Oh god, he ran into an error so fast hahahaha
"i know there's no issue"
error saying there's an issue with that
just don't answer
just sit there and sip yer coffee
or tea
whatever hot beverage of choice, really
Im getting coffee, this shit too entertaining
And yes, for some dumb reason, Discord is THAT buggy
good idea, time for us to get some 11:38 coffee
some breakfast wouldn't be out of place tbh
as hackintosh user, I can tell you that it's not for the faint of heart
you also might not be able to get it running 100% correctly unless you've specifically made sure you've bought compatible hardware (or even get it running at all)
and you can only get support from hackintosh forums/discords/etc because none of it is general computing knowledge, it's all hyper specific and a matter of knowing exactly what drivers/settings/fixes/etc to apply
issues that are to be expected when running an OS that is only supported on very slim&specific set of hardware, yup
well yeah, but not thanks to apple lel
that older macbook is a normal computer just with it's own quirks, basically
be it a trackpad that needs a driver or whatever, ya know. Just with any other laptop out there
but nothing to be compared to hackintosh stuffs 😅
exactly yeah, there's tons of very common hardware that's problematic for various reasons. it's frustrating unless you're mentally prepared to make it into a big research project
[which, if you're asking random friends for help on it, you probably are not]
aye. Not me cup of tea personally (if it was I'd have a mac), but ye I find it ridiculous when folk blame apple for when their hackintosh setup ain't worky
that's like as if I blamed sony for there not being a ps4 emu that runs bloodborne yet (but I do blame them for not talking to fromsoft yet about makin a pc port, sure)
it's also kinda moribund now that x86_64 Mac is going away so I guess we'll stop hearing about it in a little while lol
on a side note, people are already asking for ARM hackintosh on the newer Microsoft laptops but that's just absolutely not happening
ah yes, people who clearly ain't got no idea as for what they're talkin abt
the asahi linux people had to circumnavigate hell to get stuff working
cause ye, that's just as likely to happen as it is likely for me to be able to install ios on me pixel 💀
lol exactly
yeah. And that is WITH apple allowing 3rd party os. they might not provide support for it, but they allow for you to do it
reverse engineering to get anythin worky is up to the asahi folk
truly impressive work
the same kind of work that is also being done currently to get lin worky on those windows on arm snapdragon X machines
at least they ain't gonna have to start from 0 like the asahi folk did
but ye, qualcomm ain't providin anythin
😦 new ways to lock stuff down and lock people into a proprietary system
google wouldn't stop me, but yeah just because google doesn't stop me doesn't mean that I can make ios work. Same exact situation with macos on those windows arm snapdragon x machines. QC&ms don't stop ya, but both go "good luck"
yah, I won't be touching any arm machines any time soon
Doesn't VR Headsets count as ARM machines?
cause comparatively speaking the x86_64 space is one of the most open things there be. Ridiculous, but here we are
Meta Quest Headsets are using a Snapdragon XR SoCs
I am talking about computers
I know
I don't refer to my phone as a machine, do I
I thought it might be an interesting question
it's weird, when Apple switched to x86 I was like, damn, finally I get my dream of triple booting all major OSes
now it's 0ver
like honestly.... the most likely option for me to have an arm machine that I can actually use is if AMD truly goes forward with making their own arm chips and support those the same way that they support their x86_64 stuffs 💀
Qualcomm? Never gonna happen unless qualcomm decides not to be qualcomm no more
(funfact: the german word "qual" stands for torment/torture/agony.... which is quite fitting in this case here)
Torturecomm Snapdragon X
snapdragon? more like oh snap
Good thing that the marketing material that qualcomm published for those things is borderline false marketing 
not as performant as claimed, not as supported as claimed, not as power efficient as claimed etc etc etc. And microsoft also talked about how all your stuffs is just gonna work just fine.... no, it doesn't
Fun times.
All to please investors
MS looked at windows and went "ohhh. Our OS is bad because we're on x86_64!"
No
all the issues with windows ain't got anythin to do with that
the issues with windows are all thanks to you, Microsoft
Right? Like.... how come that me thinkpad x220 from 2011 still gets hours upon hours of battery life when I be runnin fedora with plasma waland or somethin on there
Thats becuz of how optimized the Kernel and maybe the DE is
On it's original battery. The battery from 2011
Im not sure if improved gaming, performance counts
the battery that reports itself as havin 75% of health
And on top of that, Microsoft is adding an AI in the system
How more do you want to make it unstable
Its like running Proprietary Arch on your system
oh, 85% now. apparently it just needed some charge/discharge cycles. Gonna let it discharge again now and then charge it back up and then imma look at what it reports
the original battery from 2011
You can find out by running echo $XDG_DESKTOP_STATE in the terminal
Or something like that
can find out what
cause what yer wrote here isn't a thing
that env var
no exist
If you using Wayland or X11
that's XDG_SESSION_TYPE
no need for me to check it cause I know that I'm on wayland, as noted in the message that you replied to
Im not the best at remembering. But thanks for the refresh
either way. Set youtube to loop a video, maxed out screen brightness and inhibited screen turn off&all. Cause I really wanna know how healthy that bat actually still is, and for that I need to actually fully cycle it
cause honestly that thing hasn't been fully cycled in quite some time
should only take a few hours 😅
ms would blame that it doesn't last longer on x86_64, I blame it on it being a 12.5" laptop with a 35W CPU from 2011 with max screen brightness and playing a video on loop, all on it's og bat
but what do I know
either way. I doubt imma upgrade to a newer laptop any time soon 
That x220 is gonna have a driving license before I swap it out 
Another ThinkPad coming soon?
for me? nah
Whats the x220?
12.5" laptop/thinkpad from 2011
basically the measurements of a stack of A4 paper, p much
Oh, I am not paying attention. Waking up in the morning is so not for me
and ngl.... I love that form factor
nowadays they can squeeze a 13.3" display into that chassis size
but yes
didn't you say somethin abt coffee earlier? I went to grab some, did you? 
I did yez
Also, regarding the Haiku Touchpad scenario. This video was why I was on about Touchpads not working well https://youtu.be/GW2V034859k?si=pDn0gQVjn3VLUDsY
would the tldr happen to be "well we can't just copy the ones that lin got"?
Mods, before you snipe it off, I did ask if sending youtube videos that are on topic is okay and it is
but yes, getting libinput&such ported to haiku would be the path I'd take if I were them
No, the video was about the guy traveling to VCF SoCal as he stopped by MicroCenter and picked up a ThinkPad X1 laptop, installing Haiku OS on it and he describes what his experience was
He did mention that his Touchpad was not picked up by Haiku
But that his Touch screen was
on a machine that picked up lin drivers for all it got mere months before
😅
But im suprised he could do Mastodon Instance maintaining and Emulation gaming on it just fine
your machine can't run ubuntu 20.04 or even earlier with everythin being worky? don't even try haiku
yes. All with software rendering. Which isn't hardware dependent, well okay it is.... the special haiku builds that are fully compatible to beos from way back then have working 3d accel on the hardware on which beos had it back then, cause at that point yer literally using the beos drivers for that hardware 😅
he was basically able to do everything that haiku can do in the state it's in, hardware independent state that is
hardware dependent state would be things like the touchpad not worky
I hope the Hobbyists as you say developing Haiku do indeed implement 3D Accel
they are plannin on it, like the software rendering they got already be runnin through mesa
Yea
Im surprised it boots "fast enough"
(Me using it through Gnome Boxes VM)
why's that surprising?
I heard its like a small OS
which means that it should be the opposite of surprising?
I dunno, my expectations are not wide enough
fair ig
Yea
Ok, I believe to have cleared up some confusion I caused about the whole Meta Quest not supported in my country
I aksed one of my viewers about the whole Horizons thing, he said its a Roblox type thing
So, I can now safely assume I can still use the damn Headsets here
Since my country is supported by the Card Payment stuff
if they literally let you buy stuff then yea it'd be weird if they didn't let ya use it
I blame myself to over reacting over the Horizons thing
That was stupid of me to do
I am however disappointed and sad that the Quest 2 is not listed anymore
That headset got recommended to me
Google only officially started selling the pixels here with the 8 series, so I am used to "oh no your country be unsupported" bs 😅
Hahahaha 🤣
it was a good option when it was available for cheap due to the 3 having just come out and the 2 being cleared from shelves
but that's abt it
I am commiting by saving and building money to be able to buy it
VR is something I always wanted to do, so I am going for it
I don't really have the space anyway, tbf
For the game Ghosts of Tabor, you can play sitting or standing
Apologies for the Ping @still turret but you did mention to me about Capturing the VR Game by its Viewport or either through one Lens. There is another content creator who plays VR games and this is how he is capturing it
This one looks to be capturing Both Lenses......somehow
why does that seem like both lenses to you?
Well, the Viewmodel of the Gun is more centered and the FOV is more wider
likely the viewport
Hmmm
How would you describe whats done in that screenshot? Thats the type of capture I am aiming for
explain? it's a wrong aspect ratio capture with a basic chat overlay. either viewport or main eye output, judging by the centering of the crosshairs
The game does have some kind of Streamer Camera setting
@primal laurel While that channel is technically for OBS suggestions specifically is there any reason why you want that?
Wifey had an irl over for the weekend for her bday. They only hang out a couple times a year so they usually go hard. Pretty sure she didn't go to bed until 3am or so. She's gonna be HURTIN when she waks up 
why should we not be able to simply view profiles without having an account, in a time, where kinda everything forces us to give out information? why should that be the case with obs?
what you wrote abt in the ideas/suggestions channel is a bogstandard spam&data harvesting prevention thing
so ye, I doubt that's ever gonna be changed
maybe it was worth trying ¯_(ツ)_/¯
and it's good that it's not gonna be changed 😅
seems to me would be a good was to open forum members to a bot scrape
As I always say "Information gets old really fast"
which is exactly why ya need to be logged in to see profiles, correct
Oh yea, yea let AI bots steal more shit then they already have
Let AI Bots commit more copyright crimes then they already have.
i didnt know that obs forum had a problem with bots :/
in this case it's more abt bots harvesting contact information which is then used by scammers to attempt to scam folk
Its sad yes
there's data out in the open? Bots are gonna grab it. It's as simple as that, no matter where the data is
so really.... the thing that has an issue with bots is the entire goddamn internet 😅
can someone help me
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
Ads are more worst
please go to the support channel as appropriate for your issue, thank you
Nuff said
we could try to make bots to destroy bots >:)
Why do I think that has already been done
noone awnsers tere
Please be patient and wait for a response. The people who help are volunteers
I mean there is the thing called robots.txt (and a similar thing for ai things, too. because apparently we needed a separate thing for that for some goddamn reason....)
but bots are still gonna have to respect it
There is a reason some users are removed from the server as they have acted impatient and like entitled little shits
and like as if AI junk&scammer data harvesting bots are ever gonna do that
They see "you are not allowed to grab this" and see it as an invitation to do exactly that
Speaking of AI, there is this art website called Cara dot app developed to be a safe habor for Artists fighting AI
How well do you think that will be effective?
They use AI Poisoning
ah neat, yeah we should do that at a much larger scale
i hope/think that AI would not last that long in human history
Whats crazier is the site is entirely funded by donations
not really, no. Have you ever heard of ao3?
No? What that is?
archive of our own. site to share written texts/fanfic and all that. Also entirely supported by donations
Folk donating to projects&such that they like ain't exactly wild 😅
do you think it's possible to rebuild FridayNightFunkin in obs?
OBS is a Streaming/Video recording Program
You are after a Game engine
Try doing it in Godot Game Engine, Unity or Unreal
But there are copyright holders of the game that can get you into trouble
So you are on your own
from what i remember those owners are a bit lawyer happy
there was some drama with some mods for the game awhile ago
they seem to want to have a close grip on the ip
would be a lot easier to commission an artist to make a layout thats inspired by the game
is it actually possible to livestream separate scenes in separate streams?
in obs?
let me introduce you to the source record plugin: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-record.1285/
thx
Wouldn’t help with live streaming though, for that you’d want the vertical canvas plugin instead.
last I've checked source record does allow you to set streaming stuffs too
TIL
thx. going to make a cable like stream bcause i am using 2 channels.
thx didnt know it exist.
yer welcome! ^^
i will head out managing two scenes for x1.
hold on i need a full tutorial
FNF is an open source game that has thousands of mods, and its more of a joke to make it in obs, rather than using a normal gameengine, just to see if it is possible
That be Plasma 5 or 6?
That's the obs 30.2 classic theme
got nothing to do with plasma
but yes, I am runnin on plasma 6.1.3
Nice
I feel bad for my friend. Windows keeps breaking on him
From Microphone issues, to forced Windows 11 upgrade, to now not letting him type at all
Biological Interface
good for you, now ya got less questions that you know nothing abt coming your way 
So I recently discovered "hot mulligan" and now subsequently a fee other bands thanks to spotify. Carpool being one I'm vibing with
Amd I discovered Hot Mulligan thanks to tiktok and them having a "music video" which is just a basement show with like 15 people
Hahahahhahahah
Those both would fit well on my punky greenday playlist. Thanks! Spotify is pretty good at sending new stuff our way
you ever listen to Viagra Boys?
if not, listen to Slow Learner I think you will like it
ah these bands you mentioned are more emo music, different. still Viagra boys are awesome! but not the same
I love their overdriven bass. Reminds me of the grunge days
the singer just reminds me of some dude I would hear at bar karaoke and I like that
I miss bar karaoke
how about foo karaoke
Im about to try a Corndog for the first time
NICE... a simple mustard goes good with corndogs
Is it homemade or store bought?
Store bought
Nice. The dough on the outside is more consistent. I tried making them at home and failed 🙂 Best I've had were at carnivals and fairs. Must be something in the oil they use.
No idea
Or just the enviorment 🙂
is it ever though
Child labor laws do not apply to chores around the house 🙂
failed in which way?
Not a good coverage. Some areas were thick and others very thin. Probably something with the temp of the dogs or the consitency of the batter
Another year or so and I pawn this shit work off on the oldest
Start 'em off with one of the 1960s push rotary blade ones. He'll appreciate a modern mower after that
ah, ye. The parts you listed very much do matter indeed (you'd want for the outer layer to cook rather quickly indeed so that it's held together that way), dough that ain't too runny but still sticky so that everythin sticks together. As for coverage... well that's just somethin that those stands get right due to making hundreds upon hundreds a day 😅
For sure... so I leave it to the "pros" 🙂 I have lots of foods I cook at home.
What I would try would be to cover them in dough, let that set and then fry
cause those stands likely prepare them in advance, and I honestly think that the "letting it sit" time has something to do with it
I have heard of dipping them then chilling and dipping again - sort of like old school candle making
oh... had and idea (which might be good.... or bad) layer of dough chill then thin layer of mustard, chill, layer of dough and repeat 🙂
think that'd require more than just chilling them else the layer ontop of the mustard ain't gonna stick?
and then once yer done you throw them cornsticles into the fryer
as my wife says ... "Yeah, you have ideas. Some are actually good"

That's just how it goes, aye
The truly tough part is knowing when to drop an idea vs when to actually go forward with it
for sure.. my cue is the level of the eye roll 😛
Fair fair
I usually figure it out based on what I think when I look at what I've down a day later
I normally take a day or two and actually think over my ideas... or if I dive right into it I expect adjustments and possible failure
Might seem like a good idea now, but the proof is in whether you still consider it to be one tomorrow 
gotta let that dough rise
Continuing the VR capturing, here is another angle @livid plover
I believe this is a viewport capture
There is no source blending or fading in
Ask or start trying, no sense in guessing
ok
Well well well, look what I found on another local online shop
Does anyone Stream on Locals? I cannot for the life of me find where my Stream Key is.
What on earth is Locals?
It's like less political, less censorship dollarstore YouTube kinda except more Twitter-ey
Yea, I see it does not support Payoneer so not something I will use
contact them for help with their service, from their FAQ seems it only expects a camera/video device
yeah, found that now
🤣
I figured it out, I had to create a community through a different hyperlink since the one the site kept linking me to was dead.
Anyone know if it's possible to use OBS to push a Stream to Runble Studio, and let Rumble Studio do the multi-streaming?
sure, virtual cam or similar it
depends on what rumble studio can ingest
obs -> obs virtual cam -> rumble
audio you just grab directly as you want in rumble, or route it via voicemeter or similar
(or via a dummy/unused device with obs monitoring into it and rumble grabbing that)
I need to investigate this Rumble Studio software
Love you guys hope you are having a great weekend!
when do everyone gonna get Av01 codec in youtube? atleast Vp09 on 1080p and lower resolutions?
1440p enables vp9 codec. If you want av1, you have to pump out 8k60 fps footage
tried already that but need Av01 for 1080p and 720p resolutions
Are you streaming this footage?
I don't think anyone here has the answer to that question
I was local recording using obs studio and uploaded.
I can try livestreaming too but local recording is my preference
If you give 8K footage, but the viewers settings aren't set properly, it will fallback to vp9. The viewer has to set YouTube to ALWAYS Prefer AV1 Codec
For now you would want to upload 1440p+ footage, whether that's via scaling with OBS or scaling during the encode or using DSR or whatever
as i said i have tried 2k and 4k for Vp09 .
8k for Av01 codec.
they are guranteed but i need them for 1080p and 720p
If you are uploading local recordings, I suggest upscaling with Handbrake to 8k. It's the only way I've found to force it to give you that Codec.
1440p footage however is easier to upscale and upload. They look fine neough in VP9.
YouTube decided which codec you get, unless you force it like we're saying.
I can answer my question
A few thousands of subscribers account will get Vp09 codec for 1080p and under 1080p
A few million of subscribers account might get Av01 codec for 1080p and under 1080p
ok
in future can we expect them to spread Vp09 to everyone and later on Av01 ?
That doesn't answer your question lol
The question was "when" and the answer is ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ
I legit already did ALLLLL the the testing for this exact problem a couple years ago. You can choose to take or leave my advice. But at the end of the day: YouTube makes those decisions.
coming soon (unknown year)
Even if you record in native AV1, YouTube is going to Transcode it, and put it in whatever they want it in anyway.
I've even uploaded the same video upwards of 8x and sometimes I get avc1, sometimes I get vp9, and sometimes it gives av1. It's a flip of the coin.
I legit did what u did too.
I am not disagree with you.
but my brain hurting to throw 50/100Mbps on 1080p and when it gets Avc1 quality is worse as much as it feels pointless to upload anything in youtube at 1080p resolution.
Whats the lowest possible bitrate HEVC will let me go?
I would like to give it a test run
I got Av01 always whenever i uploaded video in 8k
If you want to skip all that headache, record in 720 or 1080, upscale to 4K and upload the upscales. It won't look bad.
I uploaded a 720p video and it gets a different codec each time. But you can force it to av1 with 8k
even if i record in 720p i should be recording file at higher bitrate or else video wont look at good when i upscale it but the problem is i am using cqp now a days instead of cbr
av1 Codec uses a lot more horsepower on YouTube's end, VP9 uses less than AV1 but more than AVC1, and AVC1 is what they wish they could give you
If you want perfect files: copy my settings, and call it a day. Your raw files and Upscales will look fine.
CQP Level 14
they are giving for few youtube subscribers who has millions of subscribers ( not to everyone yet though )
atleast Vp09 for people who got thousands of subscribers.
I feel like i wish youtube could give me too if i buy youtube premium.
I do not understamd the new youtube HD premium quality option feels pointless
The premium only option gives a higher bitrate, but still is respective of the Codec
using simple mode = Indistinguishable quality,large file size ( is it cqp 16 by default)
Encoder = Av1
Danvinci Resolve to upscale 720p to 4k ?
Max B-Frames = 4? 
Not required. It will be fine at 2. But the main game I play is from XBOX 360/PS3 era, so might as well
I guess I will come back later after this
oh u got xbox360 or ps3 console
nice u played Dantes Inferno game?
?
Nah, Street Fighter 4 is from that era on Steam
3000kbps I believe is doable but not the minimum
havent u played Re engine Street Fighter 6?
How was it?
I tried only Demo
I played it in Beta, and after release. I got the game free & I must say: I'm not a fan.
I could go on for hours about reasons that game is an Abomination lol
oh i will become fan of street fighter game if they make chars or entire game as art based graphics like dragonball fighterz , guilty gear,..
i mean Arc system works art
until then i will stick to Street Fighter III'rd Strike
I won't even play it for the views. It's like a crazy EX Girlfriend, it looks good but it's all bad besides that
Try BlazBlue, same artstyle
done already cool game
youtube premium should really include Vp09,Av01 codec instead of just allowing higher bitrates
!teb
For more information on the Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting beta, please check out Twitch's help article or the Discord server.
I got that to work, but I can't get the OBS audio to come through.
!vcamaudio
- Install VB-Audio CABLE. (A reboot is not required)
- In OBS Studio, go to Settings > Audio and select "CABLE Input" as your Monitoring Device
- Go to Edit > Advanced Audio Properties and enable Audio Monitoring for the audio sources you'd like to stream to Discord.
- In Discord, in Voice & Video settings, select "CABLE Output" instead of your microphone under "Input device".
Now anything you monitor in OBS Studio will be streamed to Discord. Similar steps will work with other conferencing apps, such as Microsoft Teams or Slack.
Is it possible to run 2 instances of OBS to acieve this?
Virtual Audio cable gave me weird audio delay when I tried it last
No, since OBS doesn't install any audio devices for you to use
Running two instances of OBS just to feed something into a third process sounds more convoluted than it's worth
You could use a program like VoiceMeeter but that is more complicated
I watched an Adam Savage video that was quite interesting, where he spoke of a minor confict on Myth Busters between Jamie and his approach to solving a given problem with a relatively minor detail, and how it drove him nuts. But then he realized that he did not need to solve that problem, that he could let them go with Jamie's solution and it would work itself out one way or another over time. It turned out that he was right about the problem and Jamie was in fact wrong, and it caused inconvenience, but they did manage to get through the problem in the end.
It made me think about how many of us can become attached to solutions to problems like this, where another person or people are involved, but where the consequences of someone doing something the wrong way are not going to be devastating or problematic for us at all, or might only cause a minor inconvenience if anything, and that it probably wont cause them any major problem either, but if it does, it is their problem not ours.
It made me think also of how in our efforts to help people both in real life and online we can get stuck in this mindset of trying to force people to accept the potential wisdom we are giving and not shoot themselves in the foot, sometimes so strongly that we create a conflict where it didn't need to happen, and instead we should have just given advice and stood back and let them learn for themselves. Experiential learning is a powerful thing. And in cases like this it can avoid unnecessary potential conflict over trying to force someone into not making a mistake for example.
Let them make their mistake.
Chances are, it wont be that bad anyway.
This is a method of leadership we used when I was in the Military. You provide guidance and instruction on how something is done. If you see mistakes coming (that as you pointed out aren't life threatening, catastrophic in nature, etc.) you allow the person to proceed on. This teaches a few lessons. Mistakes can (and will) happen, processes and procedures are there for a reason, ask for help, etc. When a problem is encountered then offer help in the form of "how can we fix / correct this" and not "see.. I told you so". There are many lessons to be learned from those doing the task as well as leadership.
Heh, classic white net/black net story. He tells that one a lot.
Yeah, that is the story! Good call. 🙂
It resonated with me and I figured it might resonate with others too, although it is better to hear Adam tell the full story. 🙂
The video was titled "The Thought That Shifted Adam Savage's Relationship With Jamie Forever" if anyone is curious to hear Adam's tale.
@uneven spear I have an inquiry, and I would like to preface it with I would like a simple answer first, and then you can do your 90 paragraphs of "oh no someone asked me about the thing I like."
Does Stellaris have a robust enough multiplayer that it's possible to play properly co-operatively?
When you say "co-op", do you mean "The game's specific co-op checkbox, in which two players control the same empire", or do you instead mean "Two players both control different empires, and you happen to want to work together", owo?
Either way, it's stable, but like, fwee. -w-.
The latter, mostly.
The former would be neat, if possible.
I'm looking for good co-op experiences for like... city builder/management games and Stellaris being 4X is basically all of that rolled in to one package, but I've never really done the multiplayer for it.
We did rimworld and dyson sphere co-op mods, but the former was a bit buggy, and the latter has a bit too much waiting on production late game, heh
Former's possible, literally just check "Co-op" in a multiplayer lobby, then anyone can do the thing, owo.
Latter's more-fun IMO but that's coming from someone who likes handling truly excessive amounts of information in real-time.
I get the feeling that you're asking this before making a purchase decision, rather than trying to ask about a technical issue that actually did come up. Is this correct, owo?
Correct, mhm.
Okay, nifty. -w-. I also figure you already have an existing friend and you both basically want a city-builder or eco-manager.
Stellaris can be played as an eco game to a degree, but it'll get stale without occasional combat. It does have PvE content, a lot of PvE content, frankly, but do expect some combat or the PvE-ness simply lacks mechanical purpose.
It's definitely not a city-builder, you are not going to be on a per-planet basis, carefully balancing delicate resources. In fact, if you try, you will absolutely ruin yourself economically. (Ask Sapiens how he knows.
Guy barely had two planets while everyone else had like 20 because he refused to colonize any others until everything was super-perfect.)
If this sounds agreeable, then I do suggest poking Stellaris, but wait for it to go on sale; they run one basically every four months and sell the base game for under $20. They do this with literally every DLC release. (Treat those as if they're additional D&D campaigns, because that's basically what they are.)
You don't need to buy any DLC technically, but I do heavily suggest at least Utopia, for everyone, because without it there is almost literally no end-game content and you're basically playing a tech demo rather than a game at that point. I can make individual suggestions for the rest.
If you only plan to run one or two games and you're absolutely sure that scheduling will work, it can be worth it to buy the DLC subscription that just gives you literally all the DLC for $10/month and call it good after your 1-2 sessions, owo. That said, dear goodness, that skyrockets the complexity of the game; start with just the base game and Utopia or your head'll explode. <w<'
Anno duh
Is that proper co-op?
You can either have separate leaders and manage separate allied cities or you can control the same city and share building and management responsibilities
You might have to coordinate a little bit about who is doing the building where and who is managing the resource chain but it's a lot of fun
Is there any special reason why same-empire-co-op is appealing, owo?
It's cool to share/split responsibilities for running things since there's a lot going on later
There's a city building/layout side and a resource management/trading/commerce side
Mostly just the kinds of games we like to play.
So while I'm figuring out the most efficient way to lay out some corn fields you can be adjusting the trade routes to ensure the corn factory on a different island is supplied and the excess is stored/sold as needed or whatever
Also watching tiny people and animals go about their business in tiny detail is great
Sorry, I meant in regards to this specific situation, owo. The main reason that I ask is that Stellaris has a half-bazillion different stories that can unfold, and one of my favorite parts is after a game's done, everyone in my group gets together and tells what their empire was doing and why. With same-empire co-op, there'd be at least one less story, owo.
We'd just be playing with us
Ideally, the perfect game would be Minecraft's Minecolonies mod except not jank and broken and a real game :p
Okay, owo. I'm unfamiliar with anything related to minecraft, FWIW.
While it's on my mind, if you're into city-building, I'll shill so hard for Frostpunk (the original only), and for Ixion.
-- Anyway, is answered to satisfaction, owo? Does has any more questions?
Ye, thank you for the insight
I'm also only really looking for co-op stuff at the moment.
Nifty, is welcome, thank for asking too! OwO!
this server forgor that it's july
Wondering what the logo and banner on the OBS Community server are? They are the LGBTQ+ Pride flag, showing our support for Pride Month! For more information, click here
did I ever tell you I figured out that I actually do own stellaris 
You did not. 
They've really improved Minecolonies if you haven't played in a while.
Sorry for the ping, I'm at work, so not able to pop in as often, and just saw that message.
I played quite recently, it's definitely better, but still rather jank, and kinda falls apart when you get to a certain colony size.
Yup, experienced the same. Hoping it continues to be dejanked, as it has promise.
Aye. Have had it on the back of me mind for a long time by now, but it's just too broken for now unfortunately
i hope they continue too, such a great concept
man
youtube chat really is special
it takes only one person to type !claim in chat and within 2 minutes the entire chat is spamming it because they thing there's something to be had
it's the same shit on twitch tbh
!drop
I've seen streamers going live on both YT and Twitch and my word, YT is unhinged
OMFSM! Wikipedia has a DARK MODE now... WTF <looks out window and sees pigs flying in the sky>
Oh My Fucking Snake Mother?
Flying Spaghetti Monster
And dark mode has a one-click "report a dark mode problem" that does not require any explanation or input also, awesome
arguably the flying spaghetti monster is a god and therefore OMG covers it
we'll leave that to Cookie
So glad for this dark mode thing... I avoid certain websites at certain times of the day as it messes with my eyes and sleep
what shall you leave up to me?
the arrr!
Aye, ye should
Where can I find a list of all the bots commands for this server?
!commands
A list of commands can be found here: https://obsbot.rodney.io/
Thank you
not sure where the best place to put feedback would be
but i just wanted to pop in and thank whoever fixed the problem i had since v 28
at some point there was an update that prevented me from dragging the preview away from the edge when zoomed in while trying to make things pixel perfect
anyways whoever reverted that change, i wanted to thank you a lot cause that was omega bugging me
How to ping moderators? I have a crime to report
lol
@fervent sentinel is a homophobe, which violates community standard. See profile info
<@&715347355565817879>
sorry random dude named R, autocorrected the ping
I've reported them to discord, thx!
Thanks, have a good day
not sure why it needed to be said at all, but okay.
I don't think there is any religious justification for why you had to express hate towards those who identify as lgbtq in your bio so I am going to ban you.
damn you got the yolo tag
pretty impressive I know
How does he literally have a furaxolotl-sona but hate furries
Baffling. Usually furries are the best at being tolerant.
Think we shouldn't judge people by their avatars 🥲
I am a victim of a mass email CC.
Ordered a couple limited full size mousepads and because of overwhelming demand the ship date got pushed back.
Just got the email that stuff should be going out in the next week or so hopefully and they apparently CC'd all the orderers rather BCC >.<
classic
Hi, Offended!
"Im offended when I see boy bands for gods sake" 
then you probably never want to play FF15
anyways, Dairy Queen is better than Wendy's for ice-cream related goods
I'm glad fast food is inconvenient where I live, it's faster to cook than to go there.
I eat out a lot more these days cuz weirdly enough it's only slightly more expensive than buying groceries.
but I also don't eat a lot. so I'll go out like once in the day, then eat at home the rest mostly eating rice with something or a PBJ
Allow me to show you why having someone else's stream WITHOUT muting is entirely your fault
I am using youtube's removal tools
DO NOT have someone else's stream open WITHOUT muting it or you can end up like me
Oof, yeah. I avoid doing anything else at all on my PC when streaming for poor hardware reasons, but this is another good reason
Yes
why would you be recording & uploading something where you're already watching someone else's content? o.O
It's only the single largest content on the internet. Seems kinda odd question?
Probably more react content on youtube than anything else lol.
I cannot wait for the fad to pass. Most of it is just outright stealing other people's videos to upload to your channel
Oh for sure.
XQC "reacting" to a video, and 80% of the video it's just his empty chair.
Somehow, this is content.
I've done pretty good blocking all of the channels that do this the most on YT. Still see a good deal
I mean in this specific context, it sounds like it wasn't intentional. I understand for reaction content, but you'd have to also curate & touch up your result before uploading (such as muting copyrighted content)
to be fair, he's just not entertaining at all. imo "his" "content" is better when he's not there
I mean I can see why people wouldn't think too far on someone playing low music in the background if you're reacting to their things. But then again, I'm not a youtube creator so I suppose if you are more things should cross your mind.
Oh yea. I'm not big on XQC. Even his "highlight" clips on livestreamfail is rarely entertaining.
I'm not sure where the adoration comes from.
I have seen a lot of streamers say that they watch other streamers while they are streaming. Looks like this was what happened.
Powerfuldot is right
I did watch a friend's Twitch stream in the Background without it being muted
Easy mistake to make
I was even streaming on my Linux SSD so the Application Audio capture source does not exist on Linux
I could mess around with JACK but as I tried before, I can mess up my audio
isnt that what the pipewire audio plugin is for?
i don't use linux so I may be way off here
My distro, Debian KDE, does have Wayland and PipeWire as a session
However, Debian fucked up something with Portals causing OBS to not capture the screen
So I am on PulseAudio and X11
those are definitely some words
Yes
Oh
Ok, I see what you mean
yes that
Using windows to try and get linux working? 😄
I have 2 SSD's
