[stark dune]

I record in AV1

[wide pine]

which games?

[stark dune]

I don't really play much multiplayer stuff. Kinda been getting back into simracing so will probably start doing longer ACC races, but otherwise I do singpleplayer games

currently playing the first Mafia

I did around 3000 hours of counter-strike and I can't be bothered to learn meta for online games to be any good in them these days

tho if I booted up CS, I could still tap heads

[wide pine]

just new game launched trythis

delta force

[marsh helm]

i got a new gpu and all ive been playing is elin

and kenshi

such demanding games i know

[opaque halo]

Play what you find enjoyable 🙂

[stark dune]

why are the reviews mixed? something inherently wrong with the game?

[marsh helm]

i found the 5080 to be way too little vram

[wide pine]

cant undestand

[marsh helm]

and the 5090 to be too much monies

[stark dune]

I still had a 1080p monitor when I first bought my 7800XT. It chewed through everything. I was either vsync locked to 144 fps (144 Hz monitor) or CPU bound

[wide pine]

what i s meant by this mixed'

[civic quarry]

50% positive
50% negative

[stark dune]

that only half of people give positive reviews

[wide pine]

just giving positive who getting dolllars

[stark dune]

looks like a cheaterfest from the few reviews that I've read

not really willing to try

[wide pine]

ya i m also not playing

just loving pubg

[stark dune]

been a long time since I've played pubg

I tried the BR mode in Splitgate 2 and I feel like it needs work. compared to the usual arena modes it ran worse in terms of performance

[wide pine]

is that was itersesting

i am playing on smalll device which is sporting pubg just not working smoothly

which device is best for this can u tell me?

[stark dune]

any recent gaming PC these days can run PUBG pretty well

[wide pine]

but not now

[stark dune]

well, idk what "small device" are you using

[wide pine]

i have laptop 16 ram 512 ssd and core i7 8th gen

[stark dune]

and what GPU?

[wide pine]

android

[stark dune]

so you're playing on a phone

[wide pine]

4

[stark dune]

what is this supposed to mean?

[wide pine]

ya but not playing just on and of bcz not playing smooth'

[wide pine]

small not enough

[stark dune]

get a better phone then. Did you even try to play PUBG on your laptop?

if it has a dGPU, it should run pubg pretty okay

[wide pine]

[vernal current]

how are the lg ultra gear monitors? thinking of getting one for the office

[marsh helm]

thats soo vague

some are good

some bad

[vernal current]

which ones are good then

[marsh helm]

rtings or techspot has reviews

[vernal current]

yes i saw online, most reviews were positive

im asking if anyone has experience with them

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C63B9CZX?tag=rtings-zz-mn-20&ie=UTF8&asc_campaign=&asc_source=&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rtings.com%2Fmonitor%2Freviews%2Fbest%2Fby-resolution%2F4k-ultra-hd-uhd&th=1

this looks great for example

[stark dune]

I looooove when the actual product name isn't provided

ofc gifs aren't allowed

[stark dune]

found it https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gr93u-b

just don't use HDR with it. It's useless

[vernal current]

its for office use only

[wary holly]

@vernal current I own a 31.5" 165hz 1440p VA, probably 32GK60W-B (not sure). Motion blur becomes noticeable in dark areas (in games that have day/night cycles, for example), so I raise gamma or use reshade for tonemapping filters. Staring at the display dead center from about 90cm away, approximately 3 columns of pixels from each side (left and right) are noticeably dimmer, enough that reading from the screen edge would be harder. It also has an annoying tendency to "disconnect" from the PC when powered off for 5+ minutes, which rearranges my multi-monitor setup. It's also a lot slower than my PHL 272G5DY when it comes to waking up from powering off displays, takes about ~700-1000 ms while the PHL only takes under 250 ms (perceptually).

[vernal current]

wow thanks for this. I dont plan to game on it, would you recommend it for office work?

I just want good colors and anti glare

[wary holly]

@vernal current What would make a display qualify for office work? I can't think of anything beyond "no flickering backlight".

Glare, huh. Let me open a window..

[vernal current]

well it will mostly be text, browsing, and graphic design work such as pics and videos (lots of them)

the occasianal video call or something like that as well

I will be using stuff like figma on it almost daily

[wary holly]

The display uses a matte coating, so opening a window didn't significantly change visibility of things on the display.

[vernal current]

the problem is that the window is directly behind me

[wary holly]

The speck of dirt I've been ignoring has become more visible, however.

[vernal current]

so i was planning to set the monitor to the side or something

I will rearrange the office at a later date, but for now I just need a new chair and new monitor

[wary holly]

When I was buying it (in retail in person), the first display I unboxed had a dead pixel, staff replaced it for another identical unit on the spot.

[marsh helm]

oh no dont get those

thats old gen woled

[wary holly]

Or was it multiple dead pixels? I forgot. I brought a laptop and used https://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Microsoft/IsMyLcdOK to look for dead pixels or other oddities.

[vernal current]

what would you recommend then?

[marsh helm]

old lgs are garbo

the new stuff was just announced last month

i would wait for the new stuff to release

some are coming in july

[vernal current]

i cant wait that long lol

i need it in the next 2-3 days

[marsh helm]

check monitorunboxed

https://www.youtube.com/@monitorsunboxed/videos

also samsungs dont have good QC

[vernal current]

I originally was going to get an LG TV OLED and mount it on the office wall and have it multi purpose for presentations, 2nd screen, etc, but the local dealer has issues and no new units coming in for a few months

so i decided to look for monitors instead for the time being

[vernal current]

i dont like samsung anyways

[marsh helm]

that sounds like a great way to burn in an oled super fast tho

[vernal current]

burn in on oled is much better now

[marsh helm]

its fine if it can turn off when you walk away yes

but it needs to turn off

[vernal current]

and the monitor i linked is not oled anyways

[marsh helm]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F6724X5N what about?

ultrawides are good for productivity

[vernal current]

the 27" is within my budget

[marsh helm]

damn the tarrifs

most of these have gone up in price

damn

[vernal current]

im not in US so no tariffs for me

[marsh helm]

5 monitors they posted

arnt even for sale

i cant give suggestions

as nothing i see is even for sale

you will have to watch some of the vids from their channel

and see if they sell it where u are

[vernal current]

the ultra gear is available for me

thats why i focused on it

[marsh helm]

lg is baad

look at those reviews

[vernal current]

i also have access to dell and alienware monitors

[marsh helm]

ive heard okay reviews from those

[vernal current]

i used a dell for a few years, its amazing

[marsh helm]

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

heres a review ranking vid

[vernal current]

thanks

[marsh helm]

damn tarrifs

[candid yacht]

Yo

[wary holly]

Do small smatphones still exist? I might want to buy something newer than what I have, but I don't want any of those large ones that can't be operated one-handed. iphone 4 (115 mm X 59 mm) is fine, samsung a71 (163 mm X 76 mm) is too large. Would like a battery that can be replaced without special tools, as well, but apparently that's too much to ask nowadays.

[wheat karma]

Yes some do

Not as small as like 2017 but for example the Xiaomi 15 is pretty compact

Very decent all around but pricey, cos inflation or whatever

[tall vapor]

still 71mm in width, which is prolly too big for what is asked for

I'm fine with operatin a p7a (72mm) with a case on it one handed, but ya I don't think that's what's bein asked for

prolly sth more like that would be 59-65mm range, better on the lower end of that

and at that point? phew

[wheat karma]

I don't understand at all? You said you can operate your 72mm phone one handed so what's the issue with 71mm?

[tall vapor]

I'm not the one askin for a phone rec...

[wheat karma]

I get that but your point seems contradictory? You're saying a 71mm width is too much for one handed operation?

[tall vapor]

if 70-75mm was fine for @wary holly then they wouldn't have trouble finding a phone

[wary holly]

If 76 mm is too wide, I don't think 71.2 mm will be sufficient, I want something close to 59 mm.

[tall vapor]

yup.

there we go.

[wheat karma]

You must have extremely small hands, my redmi 4x is like 70mm and it's perfectly fine to use 1 handed for me, and I probably have small hands idk

That's a 2017 phone

[wary holly]

Wouldn't say extremely, just small.

[tall vapor]

some folk just want smaller phones, it's not that deep

[wheat karma]

Yeah but those literally do not exist

[full fern]

Small hand club checking in! Haven't had a small enough one handed phone for at least a decade

[tall vapor]

there's devices like the unihertz jelly series which really are small

but ya, that's not a mainstream device at all

[tall vapor]

62.7mm for the jelly max, btw

[wary holly]

I found "Unihertz Jelly 2", it's 95x50mm and it was made in 2020, perhaps there's something newer? And maybe just a tad bigger, but this is fine too.

[tall vapor]

the jelly max is newer

oct 2024

runnin android 14, unlikely to ever get an update to 15, let alone 16

but like apart from that?

phew

there really ain't anything

[wary holly]

Found "unihertz Jelly Max, 12/256GB, global", is it supposed to cost $438 after taxes and delivery costs?

[wheat karma]

xperia 10 or 5 IV 67mm, about as compact as you can get these days, shouldnt have too much trouble with this one i think, at least width wise, but thats about the narrowest mainstream phone in the past few years

[tall vapor]

sounds about right. I can get it on aliexpress (shipped from germany) for 327€ (377.86us) shipped&taxed if I were to bother to create a throwaway aliexpress account for it, but ya that's with the 20% welcome rebate

do note that it might be iffy with volte support as all those kinda niche phones can be, which dependin on where ya be is an issue let's say

[wheat karma]

im looking at their website, says 320 usd but dunno what shipping and taxes looks like

[tall vapor]

that's without shipping and without tax

[wary holly]

I look away from smartphones for a decade and they double in price. Not fun.

[wheat karma]

looks interesting tho

[wheat karma]

literally everything lmao

[tall vapor]

this is a phone that shouldn't cost what it does

but

it's the only one on the market that small

and they sure charge extra for that

[wheat karma]

i think that alone justifies it costing what it does

cos well, its the only one xd

[tall vapor]

for all intents and purposes it's more like a 200-250us device

[wheat karma]

back mounted fingerprint sensor

i dont need a phone that small but im glad someone is filling this niche

[wary holly]

Oh well, I hope I'll still only be using smartphones rarely and not need this, but if the need becomes greater, enough to warrant such a purchase, I'll know what to look for, thanks.

[tall vapor]

[wary holly]

try to open any website on iphone 4, it doesn't render, wants newer browser
try to update browser, it wants newer ios
try to update ios, it wants newer iphone
ffs

[tall vapor]

that phone is limited to 2G by now anyway, if it works at all as like...a phone

[wary holly]

this phone's only, what, 14 years old? it should still be working, it's not like we reinvented the entirety of everything since then

14 year old PCs work just fine, i don't see what's the issue here

[tall vapor]

there's only so many frequency bands available

[carmine ibex]

iphone 4? Pretty sure it can do the improved 3G
Or is that 4S, can't remember

[tall vapor]

most MNOs switched off 3G by now

as in like

not just MNOs

[wheat karma]

thought about the last iphone mini?

[tall vapor]

there's entire countries where it just no exist anymore

[tall vapor]

the se? that's 67mm afaik

[wheat karma]

no iphone 13 mini

64mm

[umbral cove]

smaller phones are usually the pricier ones

[wheat karma]

only 4 years old so shud go on for quite a few more years

ull probably have to pay apple to replace the battery at some point tho

[tall vapor]

cuz literally iphone 6 measurements 😅

[wheat karma]

they might hit you with the, well umm, we dont have any batteries that small anymore lel

[tall vapor]

here 3G as a whole hasn't existed in quite a considerable amount of time (here at least&plenty of other places)

2G is still there cause some emergency systems rely on it

but ya

[wary holly]

iphone 13 mini is 64.2mm X 131.5mm, that .. might be fine? I don't want to front $444 just to find out my right thumb doesn't quite reach the top-left corner when using it one-handed, but if a retail store has these things on display, I might be able to try it.

[tall vapor]

you could quite literally do a paper cutout of it 😅

or some spare cardboard from a shippin box, ya that'd work better

double it up to emulate the thickness

[wary holly]

There's also the matter of "has it been hit with planned obsolescence yet?", I used iphone 4 and it would hang frequently, cardboard wouldn't emulate that.

[tall vapor]

fair

cardboard would only help you in the sense of "do I even bother to look for a retail location that has one on display"

[wary holly]

I used someone's iphone 6 for about 10 minutes, it spontaneously powered off at ~15% battery, then threw a notification saying "we will throttle your cpu from now on lol"

[tall vapor]

that sounds like a battery on it's last legs and the cpu throttling will be gone once bat replaced

[wary holly]

The actual notification text was perfectly vague and HR friendly, you wouldn't know what happened if you didn't know apple throttles phones 1-2 years after they come out after they allow them to power off spontaneously.

[tall vapor]

prolly quite literally can't provide the amperage without it just turning off

like if the cpu throttling was the only thing there.... sure, that's planned obsolescence (and like.... they wouldn't tell you at that point)

but in combo with the bat literally dyin?

yeah actually makes sense

[umbral cove]

anyone knows why running a game at 30fps makes it looks far worse than 60+? 🤔

i mean, even when nearly static

[tall vapor]

cause your eyes can indeed perceive more than 30fps

and dependin on the game&settings ya might got dynamic res kickin in if 30fps is all your sys can muster ever so barely

[umbral cove]

no.. i mean, the game looks quite noticeably worse at 30... even when barely moving

its when i lock at 30

[tall vapor]

okie but why'd you do that

[wary holly]

Could it be that variable refresh rate is on?

[tall vapor]

plenty of games fall apart if ya do that

[umbral cove]

the windows setting?

[umbral cove]

ahh, i lock at 30 when i tab away from the game for awhile

[tall vapor]

okie, at that point it lookin worse ain't an issue anyway, to be fair

[umbral cove]

well, its weird... i had never noticed such a thing

[wary holly]

There are multiple implementations of variable refresh rate, any of them may cause this effect.

[umbral cove]

only thing ive got enabled is freesync p. i think

ingame i couldnt find somethin related

[wary holly]

Try disabling it.

[umbral cove]

and on the gpu software, nothin

[umbral cove]

i think it might just really be the 30 fps effect

even with minimal motion on screen

very noticeable... image gets blurrier

[wary holly]

@umbral cove Some displays have slower pixel response time at lower refresh rates, resulting in worse motion blur, so again, verify freesync is disabled, restart your game.

[umbral cove]

yeah.. my monitor have somewhat o decent speeds

and its 240hz

[wary holly]

Can also try setting the display to 30 hz if it has such an option.

[umbral cove]

yeah... has...

ohh, wait...

min is 50

yah... diference is smaller when i set the max to 60hz

but unlocked + 240hz, looks far crispier

[void gale]

:)
whats your friends?

[stark dune]

good enough I suppose

[void gale]

damn very good
I dont have any friends to have good internet in my region to play games via parsec remoteplay :(

[stark dune]

idk why download gets so high or why unloaded is pretty high from the get go

[jaunty fulcrum]

Do I win

[stark dune]

from what I managed to read about it in 5 minutes, this is still okay

I disabled QoS on my router and the latency didn't change, only that it struggled get right up to the bandwidth limit during the test

[stark dune]

https://speed.cloudflare.com/ this is better imo

but be careful if you do screenshots, it lists your public IP on the page

my ISP can't throttle my upload fast enough during cloudflare's tests

my plan is 950/600

I'm guessing server location does a lot as well

[stark dune]

yeah, so latency will depend a lot on where you're connected

[full fern]

It looks hot! How's the water temperature?

[open rune]

No low latency gaming for me I guess :(

[shrewd spire]

you know what the ultimate cheat code there is?
having faster internet than a 1 Gbps nic can handle while using a 1 Gbps nic

[open rune]

I guess I could plug into the 1 Gbps port for maximum gaming

But I like when my Steam downloads are CPU-bound

[livid plover]

man, being around heavily compressed online media has ruined me. i just looked at a 9 minute clip and went "why is it 420mb, 4k bullshit?
nope, sub 1080p 6mbit video is just that big 🙃

[carmine ibex]

4k60 is like 15-25mbps, lol

[terse helm]

[void gale]

glossy or matte?
wt do u guys love?

[carmine ibex]

they both have their pros... I think glossy takes the win

kind of depends on the person, location, type of screen (LCD vs. OLED) etc.

[jaunty fulcrum]

glossy if it's a cabinet, matte if it's a screen

[smoky rapids]

Is this a really bad matte?

[livid plover]

Yes

i like matte because reflections hurts me or else glossy

[void gale]

Someone create AI for me to play single player games

[karmic tiger]

no

[livid plover]

just go watch an AI play on twitch

if you pay enough they'll play the game how you'd like it

[prisma dove]

Gotta pay to play. AI design will cost you.

[neon spoke]

I mean, if you want AI to play a game for you, but you're not a researcher, I'd recommend just watching a YT LP.

It's free

[void gale]

oh ok

[modern yoke]

As someone interested in ai agents the concept of creating an ai that can play a game is super appealing to me. Not talking about generative ai here

[prisma dove]

WOPR was created to play games...

[hearty stirrup]

so tool assisted speedruns but next level?

[modern yoke]

Yes indeed. But not necessarily speed runs! It would probably be an extreme amount of work but something like an ai that plays Minecraft. Wow!

Speed run are not excluded

I hope i dont come off as “yeah I could do that” because like… no

But its so interesting to me

[hearty stirrup]

TAS are basically player piano style playback of inputs with a resolution measured in milliseconds

usually 16ms or less between inputs

[karmic tiger]

TAS can be really impressive shit

[modern yoke]

True

[karmic tiger]

including the trackmania "so actually it's faster if you dtive the F1 car by having it vertical on its nose and spinning for some reason" TAS

[hearty stirrup]

like the four white mages final fantasy 1 run and such

[late surge]

just got reminded of this
https://youtu.be/_c0aVjjDnAU?t=83

[modern yoke]

Just watched it, that is super crazy

How did he kill the ender dragon so quickly???

Looks like it only took one arrow but I likely missed a whole lot

[late surge]

one shot

also its RTA viable

the oneshot that is

https://youtu.be/pyV68KvUwlw

[scarlet kernel]

That's fuckign nuts

[modern yoke]

Not really sure… what that means or is.

[scarlet kernel]

crazy how arrow momentum works

[scarlet kernel]

RTA = Real Time Attack, basically real time speedruns, no segments.

As for the one shot, it relies on Minecraft's arrow mechanics. The faster an arrow travels, the more damage it does.

[hearty stirrup]

in this context, RTA means human input viable

doesn't require computer-run scripting

[modern yoke]

So like if youre super-human. Thats really cool

[scarlet kernel]

But the travel is relative- because the dragon knocked him, and was flying at him, and he had a full draw, the arrow relative to the dragon was INSANELY fast and therefore oneshots.

[modern yoke]

Ahhh. I didnt know arrows dealt more damage with momentum

[scarlet kernel]

Yep! That's how the Power enchant works

[modern yoke]

Wow!!!

[scarlet kernel]

Deals more damage cause it goes more fast

[modern yoke]

I just learned this, and I played the game for like 15 years

[scarlet kernel]

If you aren't one to heavily dig into underlying mechanics, there's no REASON to know things like this

Don't feel bad

[modern yoke]

Daaamn now it makes sense why pulling back the bow makes the arrow deal more damage too. I thought the bow just had like 3 different pullback/damage stages

[karmic tiger]

@scarlet kernel in case you never saw trackmania TAS :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEAx_t8l96M

[modern yoke]

But the power enchant works not only by shooting the arrow faster, but does that also mean that its a valid enchant to pick just to shoot farther/faster in general?

[scarlet kernel]

Oh I LOVE trackmania TAS vids

[scarlet kernel]

Corrrrrect!

It's the reason having Power on a bow breaks arrow elytra punch tech

[modern yoke]

That’s incredible!!! 15 years maybe 14 ive been obliviousto that hahaha

The other major tech that's important in the video- you'll notice he didn't take fall damage

the way he did that? went ~1/128th of the way into the cobweb then quickly turned away to fall out

[modern yoke]

Well I know about the water bucket glitch, if that is what you mean

Oh. Different moment then

[hearty stirrup]

did you know that the same hardware that some communities use for console verification of TAS on legacy consoles can also be used for turning musical instruments into controllers for those consoles?

[scarlet kernel]

Yeah, it's super fun

[modern yoke]

Speedeunning community continues to amaze me

[scarlet kernel]

I know of one guy who turned a guitar into a keyboard/mouse and made a guitar hero clone in unity using only a guitar

[modern yoke]

I remember just being amazed at how much momentum one could get in HL2

[hearty stirrup]

czr_drums uses a device called the tastm32 for using his drum kit as an n64 controller

which is built on the STM32 chip

[karmic tiger]

one of my friend has been doing FFXV speedruns for the past few years, the WR dropped from 3-4 hours to sub 30

[neon spoke]

holy shit

sub 30 sounds like they really really broke somethin ghaha

reminiscent of "oh I put these three items in my backpack at these specific slots and glitch out of bounds here and teleport to endgame credits"

[karmic tiger]

oh it's broken as shit but the game is so well made it took them years to find it XD

[lusty widget]

this is the only server i have to disable friend request and dms in

[karmic tiger]

yeah massive public servers will do that

[civic quarry]

Can't expect 225,000 users to be all clean

[modern yoke]

and that sucks

[lusty widget]

out of all the other big servers im in this is the only one i get atleast 5 dms a week in

[modern yoke]

True for me too. I am member of like 5 other servers that are bigger than this, but they never message me from there

[marsh helm]

i get 1 a month

[modern yoke]

At least 2 a week for me

I wonder, do they just click random usernames from different chats, or have some kind of bot randomly select members

[livid plover]

it's all automated till you bite

[modern yoke]

Sometimes I troll them... even though I know it's just LLM's...

Maybe they know I "bite" because of that

[stark dune]

I think I have my discord set up so that people can friend invite me, but not DM me. and it's simple, If I know you and have interacted with you before, I might accept, if not, then instant ignore/block

discord settings are confusing af

green one is both for messages and friend requests but in reality it doesn't do shit for friend requests

so what is that greyed out message requests option for?

and why is the green one for friend requests if there is that whole bottom section for it?

[lusty widget]

yeah, im in few servers with 20k+ one has 300k+, this is the only one where people activly dm me

this place is special

now they cant dm me anymore ❤️ ruined it for those who are real

[modern yoke]

Maybe I should review my settings

[livid plover]

you want these settings

[vapid tinsel]

I even turn off friends of friends.

[terse helm]

it turns DMs from people "you may not kow" into message requests instead of just making it a full DM directly

this is not relevant if you have DMs off entirely for non-Friends, so it is greyed out

also, note that you have the global settings there whereas you can change the DM settings per-server

[stark dune]

Yeah, that's the point

I don't care how large or small the server is

[terse helm]

that's fine

just so long as you know

[modern yoke]

Sometimes I feel like they gather users and then leave the server before adding me

This guy for example, no friends or servers in common, and I don't recognize that username

now I will accept and if he starts yapping about how he is a partneret twitch streamer my suspision of him being from here will be confirmed

[silk abyss]

it's happens to me too

[wheat karma]

I have a partner with a twitch

[modern yoke]

Brooo why did they stop just getting to the point

[silk abyss]

Did you mean when discussing with them?

[modern yoke]

Yeah.

Actually I don't know where this guy comes from. Seems like he's trying to recruit me for dropshipping or somehting

Like what server he is from

[silk abyss]

i don't know

[modern yoke]

I like your pfp

[silk abyss]

thanks

[modern yoke]

I thought it was squidward at first lol

Handsom squidward

[silk abyss]

[modern yoke]

I wonder if you get more scammers in your DM's by showing off your wealth on big servers, since they potentially might be able to get more money out of you

Like if I start yapping about how I love my new 5090 or new car

[prisma dove]

Maybe if keywords are part of the chat skimming.

[opaque halo]

Also, responding to such accounts normally puts you on a "list" for future attempts.

similar to if you answer a call from an unknown caller, respond to an email, etc.

[wheat karma]

Recently ive started talking about zen5 and got way more scam friend attempts, coincidence? Nobody used to message me when I talked about my win7 toaster...

[livid plover]

Big merc blingin"

Coincidence. They started to be more active as of late

but ya, replyin to any of them most def gets you on da shortlist

just like yup phonenumbers that are known to have someone pick up are worth more

[silver fable]

That's why, just with scam calls, I block and move on, without ever responding.

[livid plover]

Pretty sure a scammer spoofed my number the other day cuz i got a callback from the military helicopter squadron's HR person and she said i had called

[jaunty fulcrum]

yeah nothing of note, every xbox for a while has been AMD

[stark dune]

and every playstation

[livid plover]

nah

[sudden adder]

Yep, both xbox and ps switched to AMD during the XBone PS4 era. Before that they were on PowerPC variants

[shrewd spire]

Meanwhile Nintendo switched from ATI/AMD to Nvidia with the switch

[sudden adder]

Wii and wiiU were both powerPC variants as well

Gpu was amd though

[shrewd spire]

The Wii U ended the PowerPC era (for good probably)

[terse helm]

powerpc is still used

just not in consoles

[tall vapor]

yeah like.... it's still used, just not really in any consumer facing applications 😅

Hi all

https://www.youtube.com/live/f1cxUJLnoyQ

this is slightly off topic, as it's more ffmpeg (ish), but I've got an animated .gif on my live feed.

when the .gif becomes visible it's part way through the animation, is a way to start the animation of visibility. or is there a way I can calculate the visibility loop interval, so I can make it appear at the start of the animation ?

[terse helm]

use a GIF editor to rearrange the frames?

[silver fable]

Who is OB?

[vapid tinsel]

Who?

[river tendon]

the owner

[prisma dove]

You know, OB down on Receiving

[river tendon]

so he dont talk to any of us

[civic quarry]

They sometimes appear but most times they are quiet

[vapid tinsel]

The owner of what?

[river tendon]

the sever

[civic quarry]

You're missing letters here and there

[vapid tinsel]

I never understood what people are concerned with talking to the owner.

[prisma dove]

Do you need assistance with something related to OBS, the app?

[opaque halo]

There is a community manager, Fenir. The original creator, Lain does pop in occasionally. Do you have an issue with OBS?

[civic quarry]

There is not even an owner. Lain started OBS but it's a project driven by developers and contributers

[river tendon]

i just wanted to play beamngdrive with him

[civic quarry]

Not going to happen I guess

[opaque halo]

Yeah... probably not

[prisma dove]

There is no owner, so no one to play with.

[opaque halo]

Also, people use other pronouns than "he/him"

[prisma dove]

There are probably several officers of the legal entity who manage the OBS Project, as well the development team.

[river tendon]

sorry im new ok i dont join servers like this

[opaque halo]

The main focus of this server is OBS community support.

[prisma dove]

So, just curious, why did you join this server?

[river tendon]

i watch his videos with camodo were they play beamngdrive so yeah

i wanted to try and join that group

[opaque halo]

Who's videos?

[river tendon]

obs vids and camodo gaming

[opaque halo]

Who was the streamer?

[river tendon]

idk

ik that he also plays with spycakes

[opaque halo]

If you are referring to Lain - their pronouns are she/her

[river tendon]

i dont know there real names ok

[opaque halo]

You'll have to reach out to them directly on those platforms and not here

[karmic tiger]

you wear just told, the server owner and original obs creator is lain and she's a woman

[livid plover]

[void gale]

PC case fans sounds are annoying
If i reduce fan speeds i am worried if cooling will be enough :(
Both situations there are the pros and cons where i cant decide which way i should go

[wheat karma]

Seems pretty simple no? If temps are fine you can reduce fan speed until they're not?

[carmine ibex]

Summoning Salt did ||a face reveal||

[marsh helm]

thats one lost discord user

[marsh helm]

depending on the cpu and gpu you could underclock them for minor reduction in performance but much lower temps

[carmine ibex]

make sure to undervolt, not just underclock

although, it's likely the fans are running faster than they need to
that is usually the case with defaults

[late surge]

that reminds me

i need to figure out how to do that on my computer

a 100mhz underclock was enougth to drop temps by like 25C

but it would be nice to not lose any performance

[livid plover]

Alternatively get fans that are quieter for the same airflow, or remove the things from the airstream that make them be noisy

[opaque halo]

Using a fan control app witha decent curve has helped me.

[cursive tide]

3 livestreams from OBS ( If you watched that when I speaking Polish everytime, next time I'll try my best in English)

[lusty widget]

when i tried it it didnt help, turns out i have too much airflow

[neon spoke]

Once long ago I had insufficient air flow and the temp in the case got high enough to warp the plastic and cheap frame and as a result, I maintain there's no such thing as too much air flow

[opaque halo]

Especially with a fan control app that allows you to control each fan / header individually

[compact lark]

GN should put that fan tester to use, I'd like to see how bad the included gpu fans are

Hi all

Can I have some 101 newbie help

I want to stream 5 different rabbit pens to Youtube, I'm currently not using OBS, I'm doing it with FFmpeg, but I'm thinking about moving to OBS, if I use OBS, what's the best and simplest way to run multiple live YT Streams?

[compact lark]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3YnpwAAHhM
(2080ti gets a cpu fan, by ltt)
.. and they didn't directly mention vrm thermals, if their vrm heatsink also only peaked at 55c, great.

[prisma dove]

Do you want 5 different live streams, at the same time?

[terse helm]

any particular reason you're thinking of changing to obs?

[misty mantle]

yes

[misty mantle]

I'm thinking of moving to OBS because the interface and logging

I'm hoping it's a better solutions

[terse helm]

ah

[prisma dove]

There are different plugins to handle it. A lot does depend on how your pc is receiving all the camera inputs. Branch Output is one of them.

[terse helm]

well, obs isn't really made for that use-case but you can run it 5x using portable mode

there are ways to do it with just one instance, but I don't think that's super workable

[misty mantle]

my logic was to build a linux VM solution

[terse helm]

obs isn't really supported in VMs

[misty mantle]

and have multiple OBS's

[terse helm]

nor does it typically run well

[misty mantle]

ah ok

[terse helm]

because it needs a GPU

this is a big difference between ffmpeg and obs, as ffmpeg doesn't do compositing on the gpu but obs does

[amber sparrow]

Piping from command line certainly seems far less resource intensive

[terse helm]

but conceptually you can run it 5x if you use portable mode (which keeps everything contained to a directory)

[amber sparrow]

5x the resource hit

[terse helm]

true

[amber sparrow]

Branch output or source record would be far less of a hit

[terse helm]

worth it if you need the compositing though

[prisma dove]

I'd say a mini pc per stream/camera, but that's me

Then remote control each one

[amber sparrow]

Source record can send a stream. You'd just need all 5 sources set up with source record filter on each

[misty mantle]

so I can stream 3 cam's with an i5 NUC with ffmpeg

but I'd like to do cooler stuff

https://www.youtube.com/live/AZlYacHiFPU

[karmic tiger]

branch output is probs the best for you

[terse helm]

are you running those streams at 25 fps?

[amber sparrow]

"Cooler" stuff generally means more horsepower needed. Even that scrolling text already looks like its having a tough time

[misty mantle]

yes

[terse helm]

youtube doesn't support 25 or 50 fps streams

only 30 and 60

so your ticker below is super choppy because youtube is transcoding your 25 fps stream to 30 fps

[misty mantle]

holy crap

[terse helm]

yeah it's super annoying for european broadcasters

[amber sparrow]

oh the grey bunny just slightly got up then plopped back over

[misty mantle]

it's 32degrees

there's fans on them, but we're stuck in a heatwave

[prisma dove]

32C? that's a bit warm for bunnies

[terse helm]

it's warm for humans

[misty mantle]

BRB, gonna play with streaming speeds

[misty mantle]

they've got padding pools and they use them

back in a bit

[misty mantle]

dammit, my cameras won't do more than 25fps

[terse helm]

f

[neon spoke]

25fps is just above cinema so that alone isn't game over for a camera

[terse helm]

well it's bad if you need it to be 30 :P

[misty mantle]

I think the answer is to not have scrolling text,

I need to figure out how create ffmpeg popups

[terse helm]

well

another option would be to stream in 30 fps

your cameras would still be jerky, but arguably that is less noticable than the ticker text

[misty mantle]

Yeh, I’ll have a play, I’m still learning ffmpeg

I wonder if you can buy a type of license that works for one account compared to one pc. And maybe supports up to 5 pcs or something. I think id buy that if i had the money

[livid plover]

nah, 1 license per device

[wraith haven]

retail licenses can bin to your MS account to transfer to new devices, but they still only active one device at a time

[jaunty fulcrum]

and I don't believe they can be transferred infinitely, i think there's a cooldown

[terse helm]

30°C here today

das inside weather

[shrewd spire]

Make that 96.8°F / 36°C tomorrow

Because f me

[full fern]

I hope y'all have AC

[left mulch]

Same

[shrewd spire]

Germany and AC
Nice joke

[full fern]

LOL, we always said the same about Western Washington, until the climate started giving us more extreme heat

[shrewd spire]

Eventually we will catch up I guess

[left mulch]

I cannot imagine having no AC and I only need it like 3 months of the year lol

hopefully you at least have a portable AC unit or something?

they're fairly inexpensive for how effective they are

[shrewd spire]

It usually doesn't get hotter than 25°C inside this house.

Humidity is the only really bad thing and we are very dry this year. Untypical for German summers I would even say.

[left mulch]

the apartment I am in now has gas/electricity included in rent at a flat rate already so I am cranking the AC this year lol

[full fern]

That's good, humidity makes it so much worse. I visited my husband's TX hometown some years back and got to experience 98f with 100% humidity and it was midnight! I didn't know 100% humidity existed LOL

[terse helm]

I have AC in my bedroom

I set it to turn on automatically at night and off again in the morning

[full fern]

Us too. Can't sleep in heat

When it gets to hot during the day we retreat to the bedroom to watch a movie

[terse helm]

can't say I've never done that

[hearty stirrup]

heat pump for me now

it's able to both heat and cool

[shrewd spire]

We thought about that but electricity is still stupidly expensive here compared to natural gas.

[terse helm]

all ACs are heat pumps

and I think in most places actually heating with ACs is cheaper than gas

unless your gas is particularly cheap while your electricity is particularly expensive

[shrewd spire]

Another thing is the requirements for the house.

This is a very old house so yeah the cost you have to put into it is just not realistic.

[livid plover]

single unit through the wall without a full airhandling retrofit doesn't seem super out of reach, but you'll be limited how much of the house you can cool with that install

[misty mantle]

isnt 100% humidity just water?

[terse helm]

no

[misty mantle]

cannot believe I'm about to feed my rabbits ice creams

[full fern]

That's exactly what I thought LOL

[misty mantle]

100% humidity means the air is fully saturated with water vapour—it can’t hold any more moisture at the current temperature.

I still don't really understand what that means

[terse helm]

it means if there were any more, it would precipitate out, i.e. droplets

afaik

I just read it as "degree of uncomfortable"

[karmic tiger]

in the same way that if you add salt to water, it'll dissolve till a point, after which the salt will stay solid

[misty mantle]

boom, that makes sense

[karmic tiger]

but yeah, 100% humidity is exceedingly incomfortable

in good part because your sweat, which is the body's main process for cooling down, cannot evaporate, and cannot cool you down

[full fern]

Yep, it sucks. No matter how many showers you take you still feel sticky

[karmic tiger]

yup. showers are good at cooling you down for the same reason too, because the remaining water on your skin evaporates, and "takes" heat from you

at 100% humidity, can't do that

[opaque halo]

A.k.a. as a split unit. I have one in my nerd/hobby/ home office, which is the room over the garage. Very efficient!

[misty mantle]

As soon as my kids are out of the hot tub, I'm getting in

It wasn't a meme, I just thought it looked kinda neat, and thought it would be nice to share it :(

Blasphemous 1 game taking 4.5gb vram is this normal?
I am on 1080p resolution
Why is this game consuming such high vram?

[amber sparrow]

If you arent running out of vram, why does it matter?

[tall vapor]

is that vram count actually just the game, or is that total util....

[void gale]

entire vram utilization i guess
I am curious because if a 2d pixel game like this consume this much vram then how could a laptop which has Rtx 3050 4gb vram can them this game well?
This game requirements are very low

[tall vapor]

well if it's entire vram util then that's not just the game

[void gale]

still its consuming more than any game
I am not running anything in background

[tall vapor]

and as for the 4gb rtx3050 laptops? they make that work somehow by havin most things runnin on the igpu, and then only the game on the nvidia.

Doesn't mean that it works well of course, they're still scams 🤷‍♀️

[void gale]

my bro have Ryzen 5600H,16gb ram,RTX 3050 4gb vram laptop
let me download and try this game on that laptop , me and my brother have steam family share linked so i can easily download :p

[tall vapor]

just launched the game myself real quick, and yah gettin it on it's own to use 3-4 gigs ain't no trouble at all

🤷‍♀️

[void gale]

will this game run with no issues on 1-2gb vram cards as mentioned in system requirements?

if so why this game consuming +4gb vram

[amber sparrow]

Because it's available?

Seems you are looking for issues that don't really exist

[tall vapor]

that's literally what them lower resolutions that then get upscaled are for

ma sis plays it on switch

and the switch got 4gigs in total (both sys&vram dependin on needs, subtract some for the os... yah)

but yup. dw abt mem util

it works? it works. it doesn't? Now ya gotta think abt it

[void gale]

no i am just wondering why this game consuming more vram than other games like hollow knight , the messenger, celeste and some other games i was trying they barely even go more than 2gb vram

[tall vapor]

it goes "oh, vram? Damn I like vram!"

[livid plover]

It's free "performance"

Cache it if you got it

Like how windows fills your spare ram with files and similar stuff it might need

[modern yoke]

Sooo uuuh

I build and cleaned my new old pc and its working really great!

During the windows install it prompted me for a key and I simply selected that I had none, expecting to be met with the restricted version.

[smoky rapids]

Get watermaked homie

[modern yoke]

But now that ive got it up and running I see no watermark and I can change wallpaper freely. Id id not need a license or what?

[smoky rapids]

[wheat karma]

you can see everything you need to know under the activation section in settings

[modern yoke]

It only just occurred to me. I have never bought a license on any of my other devices bevause either rhey were laptops or pre build

Hoping i didnt leak anything

Oh my god why is the picture sooo ugly

[wheat karma]

the mobo was probably associated with an activation already so when you connected to internet its automatically activated

[modern yoke]

Sorry I didnt “screenshot” properly this is literally a fresh install and I havent had time to log in to stuff yet

Maybe. Im hoping thats the case. Is it typically tied to motherboard?

I just hope I won’t lose it in the future or something. As far as I know my friend who built a new computer has already has activated his new build. Not sure if he just bought a new license though

[wheat karma]

sometimes yes

[hearty stirrup]

even self-built systems can end up with product key information embedded into them

[left mulch]

This is just miserable

[amber sparrow]

Not so bad when poolside tho

Wife got me and one of our IRLs matching hats

[left mulch]

Heh that’s my move as well

If you had a free upgrade from your past computer you would have something called digital product key

All you gotta do is to log into your microsoft account

[modern yoke]

confusing. this is a whole new computer, but I logged in with my usual microsoft account...

Hmmm..... Well, I did upgrade from windows 7 to 10 back in the day for free, and from 10 to 11 later on, but both of these were totally different computers with no mutual parts or anything.

I never "purchased" any windows lisence in my life however, they always came bundled.

here's to me hoping I have an infinitely usable license on my microsoft account

But I heard microsoft don't do that. 😅

[civic quarry]

I can do this with mine

I have a digital product key attached to my accounts

[modern yoke]

And this works on different machines as long as you are logged in?

[civic quarry]

Long as its the same pc i believe

[modern yoke]

Interesting, as this is a different pc

[civic quarry]

It probably limits how many pcs you have

There is probably limits on how many you can activate

In the digital license it has limits on how many different limits of how many computers you can activate

I only know this is because i studied computer stuff in school

And mine came traded from the product key that was bundled with my pc and i specifically registered that product key on the Microsoft website

I had a windows 7 product key because my pc was the desktop

And that product key was on that product key that was on the pc

And my father used to fix pcs he still does have his old computers

These are my pcs

these are my pcs that i have so far

you know they seem to let me activate the pc as long its the same pc and i have been purchased couple of different computers and yes mine came bundled with the software

i have been a long time customer for windows pcs

never seen microsoft done that to me

[tall vapor]

nope, it's still 1 key per machine. But you can have multiple licenses associated with a single account

[modern yoke]

that is a well used keyboard! 👍

And I see linux, W

[civic quarry]

It was originally windows 10

[modern yoke]

gaming in the extreme summer heat I have where I live irght now is so annoying

its so humid and warm, and my hands are sticking to the mouse pad and table

yucky

and its too warm to sleep comfortably oh nooo

[civic quarry]

But i upgraded mine from windows

[civic quarry]

Oh really?

Never had a problem with mine

But i recently downgraded my os from 11 to 10

Because of my dvi hdmi monitor problem

I still have a problem

[tall vapor]

yup, really

[prisma dove]

really really

[civic quarry]

Hi

[tall vapor]

Really!

[red falcon]

Guys what's the best mobile game?

[prisma dove]

the one you like to play

[livid plover]

Snake, hands down

[prisma dove]

I like "Guess the Spam Caller before Answering/Trolling the Caller"

[livid plover]

it's a bit random i found. had an old pre-built HP motherboard that i booted up and then after replacing 95% of the pc it still activated on that license lol

[silver fable]

I've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty.

[opaque halo]

If you don't respond in 24 hours, we will involve State and Federal authorities regarding your delinquent tax debt.

[prisma dove]

Plural, as in, all of them.

2 and half day more to go for steam summer sale

[vernal current]

isnt 24gbs low for hdmi 2.1?

[livid plover]

hdmi spec is just up to 48, so they skimped slightly somewhere i guess?

or those specs are wrong if they're off some amazon page

"24gb/s is essentially fake HDMI 2.1, the standard is purposefully vague to let companies get away with that." - some redditor

[terse helm]

probably supports those higher res/rates only with 4:2:0

that halves the required bandwidth

[vernal current]

I was reading online and it seems that most AV recievers can only go as high as 40 gbps

and the mininium required is 24 gbps

i need to get a new AV reciever and was looking into this

so from what i read is that TVs support 48 gpbs but most AVs can only do 40 gpbs max

[terse helm]

AV receivers tend not to be used for desktop computing so it makes a little sense to penny-pinch when most customers are going to be displaying 4:2:0 or at best 4:2:2 content anyway

[livid plover]

If you wanna use a reciever for a pc you should just do optical to it, imo

[vernal current]

i never said anything about PC

it will be used for blu rays, console, streaming

streaming as in streaming TV not twitch

[livid plover]

Then as squid said, no issue likely

[vernal current]

plus i was reading that if i am going to use eARC then i should have even less issues

as I will get full bandwidth with HDMI cable to TV from console

and just output audio via eARC

i already do this with my current set up anyways

[livid plover]

eyup

[marsh helm]

soo outlook sucks

[jaunty fulcrum]

I can't understand how they made the Outlook redesign so bad.

[marsh helm]

i cant login most of the time and 365 legit is crashing my uncles pc

he reaally needs to be able to login

is there any 3rd party programs that maybe is simple enough for him to use?

thunderbird i dont think will work

[livid plover]

use the website with a shortcut instead?

[marsh helm]

hah

it crashes

refuses to load

[livid plover]

outlook moment

[marsh helm]

like if you click the login button

first of all it dosnt go to outlook anymore

it goes to microsoft

and it just does the thinking spinny wheel and crashes

[sudden adder]

one could say that the Outlook is bleak

[marsh helm]

you have to click a dozen times for it to load mail

[livid plover]

well find some lightweight simple email client for him and just login via that then yeah

[marsh helm]

is proton mail good?

[jaunty fulcrum]

yeah the microsoft login loop is crazy broken sometimes

[marsh helm]

oh its not just us ...

what the fuck microsoft

[jaunty fulcrum]

clearing cookies sometimes helps, but you have to make sure to get them all, as they're spread across microsoft.com, outlook.com, and login.live.com

usually works absolutely fine in incognito though

[marsh helm]

no he cant do that

he has actual brain damage

if he loses his password logins he may never find them again

[livid plover]

outlook app hanging for ages is very common too

pretty sure you'll be needing the password to login to it from any client anyway, so get that sorted now while still a chance

[marsh helm]

someone hacked his email or something and was blackmailing him for $200

i was able to get into his email account but now outlook just dosnt work

even microsoft 365 is broken too....

are any of these good?

[terse helm]

I'd go thunderbird probably

[marsh helm]

nah i think its too difficult

i dont even like it

and ive used it for yeaars

[livid plover]

+1 thunderbird

[terse helm]

"too difficult"?

it's e-mail

[livid plover]

no i agree, thunderbird is a fucking mess

but so it seems every other email client is these days

[marsh helm]

im looking at proton mail and emclient

anyone use those?

[terse helm]

well it's the only really free one in that list

[marsh helm]

emclient

i think emclient seems the least different

[tall vapor]

difficult? wydm difficult u.u

issa email client

it works how email hath always worked

[marsh helm]

nah its complicated and ugly

https://www.xda-developers.com/high-end-components-trap-you-forever/ hahahah

they think this is highend

wheres the 4 monitors

[livid plover]

high end astetics

[marsh helm]

no sound damping

[sudden adder]

and?

[terse helm]

tiny desk, single monitor, gamer chair, pre-built keyboard, office mouse

this is terrible

cheap mousepad that curls up

[marsh helm]

no monitor arm

no mic

gamer headset

[terse helm]

no webcam either

this person doesn't have friends

[livid plover]

everybody has different needs and different wants/focuses

[marsh helm]

not even a vtuber

[sudden adder]

lot of judgy jasons here

[livid plover]

ya'll read too much into a journo-article pretending to know PC's

[marsh helm]

it was just at the bottom of this article about proton

[wheat karma]

Wow whys everyone shit talking my setup

[prisma dove]

Do you like your setup? Does it work for you? If yes, then everyone else's opinion can eff off.

[neon spoke]

I admire the art selection

[late umbra]

Hey everyone! A bit off topic but... that's what this channel is here for

what if this server gets the "OBS" server tag 👀

like this

[karmic tiger]

it costs server boosts and it's not at lvl 3 rn

[late umbra]

we got 12 boosts so unless I'm misunderstanding, it should just work

[karmic tiger]

you're misunderstanding what I said

(besides the fact it really not that interesting)

[late umbra]

it says unlock these perks individually, at 3 server boosts

"no boost level required"

[livid plover]

if you're invested you could run it by the ideas site or if you wanna pay it, drop the contact email a message i guess

[karmic tiger]

I didn't say the boost level was required
