gosh I wish one could filter the steam hw survey statistics a bit further idc abt the "there's a holiday in china" peaks

[void gale]

I am bit sad that games r not designed for pc .

Lot of popular AAA games r targetted for consoles first 😕

[haughty tartan]

Unless you only consider games with over 10 years on the market ...

[sudden adder]

I just enjoy as much gaming outside of the AAA space as I can

[tall vapor]

I.... I don't, like, play AAA games no more anyway so I couldn't care less 🤷‍♀️

[neon spoke]

They want you to buy their console and be stuck on it and buy more games on their console, pay for their live services as a captive audience, etc

[opaque halo]

Tis what makes hangin out with you such fun

[neon spoke]

Yeah, real talk, Rob plays some wild shit and as a result my girlfriend has insisted that our next co-stream game is Tingus Goose. I live in fear, thanks to Rob.

Otherwise I'm currently obsessed with Dwarf Fortress which is in fact targeted at PC

[opaque halo]

Why is it flooding.......... AGAIN??? 😛

[neon spoke]

Hey! I am in complete control of the water right now, sir!!

[livid plover]

said strike the earth, didn't specify not the moist bits

[neon spoke]

My aqueduct has drowned 0 dwarves, 0 cats, and 0 weasels!

[sudden adder]

LOLOL

Tingus Goose is such a trip

[neon spoke]

me: "Look at how f'd up this is."
her: "It's beautiful. If you love me, you will stream that with me."
me: "I don't know what I was expecting."

[sudden adder]

perfection

[void gale]

I do enjoy indie games more too but sometimes bugs r annoying

For example : This is Ori and the will of the wisps game , Bug = bird not chasing and killing me .

They removed their official ori discord server , no one is responding to fix this issue 😕 .

Pc games r getting broken after windows updates or driver updates

[tall vapor]

they continue to work just fine on lin as you can keep an environment specifically meant to run the game 🤷‍♀️

[void gale]

Idk on linux but on windows 11 no matter how many times i clean install OS , drivers , replay game i am always facing this bug

[neon spoke]

I mean, AAA games also have lots of bugs; they call them "known shippables" meaning "we know it's busted but people will still buy it"

[void gale]

indie games r targeted for steam on launch right ? because there r lot of audience for indie games in steam unlike playstation

so ori game shouldnt have this issue

[tall vapor]

can't just generalise this like that

also "targeted for steam" what do you even mean

[amber sparrow]

Seems playing games causes you more annoyance than joy. Maybe sell pc and buy a set of golf clubs and go golfing instead

[void gale]

In playstation store there are less indie games and they do cost a lot to buy

[tall vapor]

but what do you mean by "targeted for steam"

[livid plover]

and why does "console targeted" matter, it's just a PC in a fancy box for under your tv

[tall vapor]

well, wouldn't call it fancy :p

[livid plover]

fancy to normies

[tall vapor]

fair

awww sad edit

[livid plover]

not everybody is into brutalist pc tower astetics sadly

[tall vapor]

that's how ya get the rgb aquariums that are popular these days

[void gale]

Yeah now a days i am having annoyance 😕 than joy because of tons of isssues .

No golf here 😅

[amber sparrow]

Take up competitive badmitten

[tall vapor]

mittens in winter are anything but bad though

[void gale]

I mean usually these 2d indie games r not sold well on playstation , xbox as much as like on steam due to various reasons like pricing , availability

[livid plover]

i like functional fingers in mine, not quite ready to revert to crab-like pincers

[tall vapor]

well yeah. computers run what you want them to run, consoles run what the console manufacturers want them to run

just not launching on console at all is a perfectly reasonable strat for most indie titles

[void gale]

Do you have portable linux pc

[tall vapor]

I've owned a steamdeck since day one, yes

[void gale]

Do u think gaben will release steam machine in this year even if pc market conditions r bad?

I like Lenovo legion go 2 but imported prices r too high . also device is too heavy to hold and play .

[sudden adder]

Got a steamdeck here too. Main game for me on it is Rift of the NecroDancer

[tall vapor]

I don't think steam hardware will be available in your market anyway

sooo

[void gale]

Imported devices are available here which gonna cost too much

[tall vapor]

right, so it's entirely moot to even think about for you

[void gale]

did u got slay the spire 2 game?

[tall vapor]

cause uh no, steam machine won't be available where ya at

for reference the steamdeck is us, ca, eu, uk, jp and for a while now (not initially) aus and via aus nz

[sudden adder]

Not into that style of the game

[tall vapor]

as for the new steam hardware .... only thing I'm interested in is the steam controller 2 anywayi

which honestly.... yeah, they should just release that

to at least have something to sell even if the other stuffs is still ways out due to market conditions 😅

[void gale]

yeah steam new controller is cool
hoping microsoft release new good controller for project helix too

[tall vapor]

they're gonna release a new xbox one controller. oh I mean a new xbox series controller. oh I mean a new controller, yes yes

point is it's prolly just gonna be a rebadge of the xbox series controller, maybe a refresh even

but that's about it

[void gale]

TMR + gyro + better vibrations will be good improvement

[tall vapor]

hahahahaha

gyro?

on xbox?

not gonna happen

[void gale]

yeah sensors which ps5 , nintendo has

[tall vapor]

it's gonna be a rehash of the series controller, which in turn is an xbox one controller but with type c

dunno why'd you expect anythin more frankly

this is xbox

maybe tmr, but prolly not

[void gale]

Because steam will never come here

But microsoft product have chance so 😕

[tall vapor]

but ya still gotta stay realistic

and with xbox controllers the realistic thing is more of the same

[void gale]

its been longtime since they even did anything new on their controllers

[tall vapor]

so why would they do that now

this is not nintendo

[void gale]

new CEO , maybe they care now as they r losing a lot now so?

[livid plover]

Just bring back the duke controller and print money

[tall vapor]

hell, playstation controllers stayed the same for 3 gens too. the dual stick ps1 controller to the ps3 controller are practically the same

[tall vapor]

making a new controller is the least sound investment they could make frankly

like sure maybe a new elite controller that comes with tmr sticks

but the default is gonna stay the series one

[mortal gorge]

so genuine question why does this server hide members? i normally am able to see the members list on the side bar but for some reason i cant and i cant see replies to my comments either

[terse helm]

this side bar?

[mortal gorge]

yeah i fixed it apparently i had to refresh discord

"Okay

No mention of search being a pile of butts but making File Explorer better is a start

[full fern]

I'd be happy if the file explorer would stop not responding. LOL

[crude oracle]

big if true

[crude oracle]

they do mention search near the bottom

[jaunty fulcrum]

I'm excited for them to shift the start menu from React Native to WinUI3, that'll enhance performance by default, let alone the additional WinUI3 performance enhancements they have planned.

It concerns me that it took them 5 years to make this decision. But I know some of the people who will be in charge of these changes and I look forward to finally updating my gaming PC when they roll them out.

[terse helm]

?

the start menu is made with react native?

[jaunty fulcrum]

Yup! 🙃

[terse helm]

that's crazy

[wary holly]

3 years and a few months to bring back some of the features they removed? And notepad, mspaint and explorer are still slower than ever? Nah, I'll pass.

[livid plover]

Yeah lol i'll believe when i see it in the flesh

[drowsy mason]

That is truly staggering to me, I think I'm gonna just not absorb that info long enough for them to have replaced it already

[sudden adder]

Apparently it isnt the whole menu, just the recommended section

https://youtu.be/kMJNEFHj8b8?t=4m47s

[jaunty fulcrum]

That was the case back in 2023, I wonder if the category view is also React Native these days. Either way, any part of it being React Native would add initialisation time

[void gale]

No fps limit in Crimson desert game 😕

why devs dont add such basic things

[civic quarry]

obs sucks because no firewire support

[modern yoke]

I don't even know what firewire is, and I probably live in bliss because of it.

[smoky rapids]

OLD hardware pre-modern USB devices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394

[jaunty fulcrum]

my dads handheld video camera used firewire!

[silver fable]

I had a Sony Handicam that had firewire, back in the day.

[sudden adder]

Same. Used to capture WWE PPVs with a FW capture box, then burn them to DVD, probably 2003 or 2004

[sudden adder]

I paid for the PPVs and recorded them live

Back when the “analog hole” was a readily available option

[wind comet]

i mostly just ghost watch these channels but there is always such helpful info in here - justy wanted to say ty everyone that takes their time to share their knowledge

[vague badge]

whats everyones favorite music artists/songs mine is probably something like B.Y.O.B or aerials by SOAD

[left mulch]

I love System of a Down, good choice

[amber sparrow]

I prefer sugar but do appreciate the vocals on aerials

[opaque halo]

Being a child of the 70's and 80's - the music and bands I enjoy are quite a variety

Nope, never gotten a claim for that. I did get claims for a Jon Colton song, but I literally had written permission from his lawyer that I handed to Twitch.

[tall vapor]

it's p damn normal, honestly. no1 is what folk know from radio&all, no2 is for folk with taste

[neon spoke]

I get brave occasionally and ask nicely 😅

[karmic tiger]

XD

[carmine ibex]

acoustic version is more about the vocals, other version is more about the music
I feel like the song fits better with the vocal focus, though

[tall vapor]

ya. I'm also VERY fond of pure instrumentals, no vocals at all

[carmine ibex]

Linkin Park is very good about this

acapella, too

[drowsy mason]

That's so wholesome, just asking the musician and them going "sure m8." I kinda love that.

[hearty stirrup]

Coulton is known to give permission for his songs if the base license doesn't already do so

[drowsy mason]

Kinda like you can ask a lot of the authors of paywalled scientific papers if they would be willing to send you a copy, I've heard that much of the time they would

[hearty stirrup]

and for a lot of his songs, the base license gives permission

[drowsy mason]

What question do you have?

[spare monolith]

What is Consciousness?

[opaque halo]

Easy enough to google

[spare monolith]

?

[prisma dove]

That topic needs more coffee or more alcohol before discussion. And it's too late for coffee and too early for a bender.

[opaque halo]

You sure about that?? 😛

[spare monolith]

aight. why did you asked me to ask u a question in teh first place?

[opaque halo]

and.... I'm out

[prisma dove]

I guess it's 5 o'clock somewhere

[opaque halo]

1558 here. Work is done in 2 minutes. No drinking for a bit. I have a 3' x 4' table to edge route first

[neon spoke]

I guess I'm done with work for the day? I'm feeling pretty brain-drained

[full fern]

It's past noon here, I'm good to go! 🍻

[tall vapor]

well it's soon to be 9pm here, sooo

[prisma dove]

don't drink and operate power tools, sound advice.

[neon spoke]

My 8 and 10 year olds have started asking me how we can "ROMHack Mario" so it sounds like it's finally time to show them how to write assembly or at least C. 8 is a good age for that, right?

I think I started with BASIC (on Commedore) at like...12? So why not a head start

[prisma dove]

Computer language is like any foreign language. Start early.

[neon spoke]

I explained what a "register" is today to them; they were engrossed

[tall vapor]

it's also roundabout the age that ya should get them introduced to setting up their own operating systems yup

[opaque halo]

even just starting with a RPi

[full fern]

I think we did the TRS80 thing when I was in elementary school. 9-ish likely.

[neon spoke]

Tha'ts happening 🙂 They're actually a little overwhelmed by my CachyOS installation process, so maybe I'll have one of them babysit Asahi on my macbook

[tall vapor]

dunno if asahi is that much better for beginners cause yeah it's quirky 😅

[neon spoke]

Gentoo is high school. Then they get to pick

[neon spoke]

I guess I could have them set up Ubuntu Server in a VM but what's the fun in that? 😅

[tall vapor]

get them a paper copy of latest LFS for christmas

[tall vapor]

it's only really fun if it's some old pentium 4 optiplex or what have you

rather than a vm

they gotta experience the joy of things actually working, which means they gotta have to learn to deal with things that don't work

[neon spoke]

I don't thin I have RAM for that thing anymore, I think I gave it to someone

[opaque halo]

I started with Atari "computer" and then COBOL

[neon spoke]

On that we agree.

[tall vapor]

kids these days think that having working audio, networking, graphics and all that is a given.... we gotta change that

[neon spoke]

They did a little "coding" in school which is dragging around boxes and connecting arrows, like visual coding. WHich is a great intro. And next, here they will learn pointer arithmatic (I'm not joking)

[tall vapor]

ah yah, scratch

[neon spoke]

so much hand-holding in technology right now, which is fine, not everyone needs to be a technologist. I just want my sons to be among the few who know wtf the North Bridge is, how caching works, and maybe how to solder a thing

[tall vapor]

think what ya gotta start with is the concept of folders&files

that right there is one of the huge hiccups I see again and again and again and again

[neon spoke]

They get that!

we've talked about file tables, different OSs handling of folders, the unix model. No way the younger one retained that but no one does until they wrangle with it. At least it will sound familiar when revisited

[tall vapor]

yup that's the important part being able to make any sense of it at all once ya run into it

Meanwhile I've reached degrees where drive letters are a foreign concept to me like sure it kinda makes sense, I guess? Not really no wdym why is there a letter there followed by colon backslash? gimme the actual mountpoint please

[neon spoke]

Windows was a mistake

[livid plover]

truly

[tall vapor]

truth

[copper pasture]

the drive letters thing is something that I always found interesting from a UX viewpoint. if it's the 80s and you're not a super savvy computer user I guess it's kind of nice and easy to remember, A and B are your floppies, C is your hard drive. but then in 2026 I'm sure lots of people are wondering "why the heck do drives start on C? why not on A?"

windows users 🤝 newbie musicians
"why the heck does this thing start on C? why not just call that A?"

[wary holly]

I'm old enough to have had a FDD, I wondered why there was no B drive.

[copper pasture]

I still have piles and piles of floppies

a few years ago I archived them all, interestingly the 5.25" ones nearly all still worked despite being the oldest and the most vulnerable by design

[silver fable]

B was the 5 1/4" drive for me.

A was the 3 1/2".

[coarse fractal]

hi

[livid plover]

i really didn't expect Bluey to carry this high ratings

[hearty stirrup]

people of certain age brackets still remember autoexec.bat and config.sys junk

[carmine ibex]

wow, preset l is goated
also, static image doesn't show everything.. dlss here is waaaay more stable during motion

dlss is a little smeary, but I think you're going to see the flickering more in motion

[opaque halo]

Hmm....

[neon spoke]

Anyone else try Norton DOS for the flash in the pan it was?

@wary holly A and B are still reserved letters for floppy disk drives, ye old 5.5" and 3.25" flat rectangles with floppy records in em

[silver fable]

Got that backwards. 5 1/4" and 3 1/2".

[carmine ibex]

I should have mentioned, it's 6:12 in the hardware unboxed video
I could post a clip of it here if you want

I was going to but yt-dlp seems to be failing to download sections.. could just download the whole video and split it up there, I guess

[hearty stirrup]

I have friends that have assigned drives to A: and B: for their daily driver systems, and they weren't removable drives

also, 8 inch floppies existed

[silver fable]

As evidenced by Wargames

Those things were a little before my time. My first computer had dual 5 1/4" and no HDD at all.

My first PC had a 5 1/4", a 3 1/2", and a whopping 40Mb HDD.

[prisma dove]

First computer used, in grade school:
Atari 400 with a connected serial tape deck for data.

[neon spoke]

I never used an 8". My school had just decommissioned the literal punch card systems the year I started computer programming as a freshman.

I think they had a reel system in there, but it was collecting dust

so I started with the 5ers

[hearty stirrup]

tape drives have continued to evolve, and their storage density HAS been keeping up

[copper pasture]

I also never worked with pcs that used cassettes to load programs. my cousin had one and floppies were so much better

[neon spoke]

I had a Commodore VIC20 with a cassette drive. And an expander card that boosted the system with an additional 8kb of RAM

Looking back on it, I don't think any of the software I had addressed that additional memory but it was there

[amber sparrow]

<@&715347355565817879> i think thats a shit post?

[open rune]

you're a shit post
what am I looking at

i think i missed the fun

[amber sparrow]

Listen....while this may be true,

Actually, I got nothing

[carmine ibex]

anyway, 4.1 very much looks like a side grade
it can have increased stability.. but usually less because of the increase in clarity
and it loses a lot compared to dlss 4.5.. or even 4.0
which.. makes sense, their architecture isn't as advanced as dlss is using, I think
like, in-between transformer and convolutional

[carmine ibex]

ah, I was told the download sections issues was ffmpeg
I was using a unofficial build from Feb.. and they changed something that broke it
someone said they'll open an issue on yt-dlp soon about it

hmm, probably meant open an issue for ffmpeg

[tender leaf]

[trail stag]

<@&715347355565817879> - I have an issue that I would like to bring to someone's attention.

[still turret]

You can DM me if it cannot be mentioned publicly.

[leaden ore]

hi

[livid plover]

allo

[valid verge]

unsure if a bug or an unnecessary change, but it seems like the window width for the application has been locked to a much wider minimum, before updating to the latest version I could dock the window to fit inside the constraints of my vertical monitor but with the latest update it won't go as narrow as that and a small portion is hidden outside the window as a result

minor inconvenience as I can still reach all buttons, but I don't know why all of a sudden they changed it, if they did

now it just looks like this

[still turret]

This is known, it was an unintended side effect of the update, and we have a fix for it coming soon.

The audio mixer is now just a tiny bit larger as a minimum size than it used to be.

The fix is here: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/13244

[undone ridge]

I feel like the stats dock is especially screen greedy, but that pushed me to write my own

[still turret]

That's always been that way though, shouldn't have changed.

[undone ridge]

yeah not a new problem

[valid verge]

that's good to know, glad to know it wasn't intentional :)

[still turret]

Should be in the next hotfix, please look forward to it

[tough elk]

wish i could sign up for this for my streams but i cant

[livid plover]

Well get to work on that affiliate grind 💪

[wide moon]

It does kind of consume you at first but then you get that one person who comes to streams when possible then you kind of forget about affiliate. I did anyways.

[tough elk]

even if i did im not allowed to sign up for it

[neon spoke]

Affiliate isn't a gold standard, you can make a name for yourself without it. Just make cool content that folks enjoy and do it consistently.

[tough elk]

well another thing is that im in SSI/Government disability

[neon spoke]

Gotcha, yeah, I'm familiar

[tough elk]

so if they see me making money they might think im employed or working, cant make above income that the goverment gives me

[opaque halo]

Shouldn't impact either way about Twitch Affiliate. There may be a limit to the amount of money you make that will reduce your SSI. I would check with SSI about the amount of income you can "safely" make without it impacting your SSI.

[neon spoke]

In that case, were I in your shoes, I'd either just enjoy streaming as a social activity, or focus 100% on YouTube content with a goal of monetizing on there as it can make actual livable money if it takes off

Its gonna cost me a fortune to get better internet

I keep getting constant network drops

And no i am not using obs i am only complaining here because i am kinda upset

And if you going to say one thing is to get a job but i am disabled and unable to work

My streaming journey kinda reached a deadzone

But i came this far though

I have been using my family internet for the whole time

Btw, if you're wondering how many people care about FSR 4 support for older cards

At least on Linux it's doable already, don't know about Windows. Though you take a performance hit with it compared to older FSR.

[marsh helm]

well amd and sony just got fsr4.1 to work

PS5 Pro GPU is still based on AMD's RDNA 2 (RX 6000-series) architecture, but with some features backported from RDNA 3 (RX 7000-series) - and from RDNA 4 (RX 8000-series, expected 2025) as well.

soo i expect we will see something like what happened with dlss with the 3000 series

with lower fps but it does work

[carmine ibex]

Point was how many top comments and likes there were about it

[carmine ibex]

Eh, 4.1 is.. not really much better
It's.. technically a slight improvement, maybe? Mostly a tuning difference
But the performance impact to run is also about the same
I'd choose 4.0 for most games

According to videocardz The launch video drew more than 1,000 comments, and nearly one-third of them were about FSR 4.
So I don't have to count them all

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yiCcfsBFFnI&t=372s
Hardware Unboxed comparing fsr 4.0, 4.1 and dlss 4.5

But.. it does vary
4.1 can be more stable.. eh

(Yes, I meant to start in the middle, you can set back to the beginning, but I found it a good example)

[hollow grail]

I actually figured out to reduce the frame drops

I am streaming again

[marsh helm]

yeah its a bit better in most games and has some tradeoffs but i think its a good step up

it removes a lot of the things that annoyed me at least

[grand flower]

Having this SAME ISSUE. It's so annoying.

[karmic tiger]

known bug, should be fixed in the next patch

Please report any suspicious private messages to Discord, either by using the Report Spam button in a DM, or by reporting it directly to Discord Trust and Safety

[smoky rapids]

That's the one I couldn't think of.

[graceful scaffold]

it's the @tawdry jay account

I don't think it's a bot, but it's someone trying to get people to be interested in NFT stuff

acting like they saw that you might have needed some assistance or support or whatever

reported two different messages from DM, and blocked

do y'all just leave those accounts in the server, or do you eventually ban them?

I'm just curious, is all

[prisma dove]

Did they break a server rule in one of the chat rooms?

[graceful scaffold]

oh, y'all don't have a rule that says not to send random dms to people, gotcha, could've sworn that was a rule at one point

just refreshed myself on them

[prisma dove]

It is, but it's not worded so broadly.

[graceful scaffold]

hm

alright

[prisma dove]

spam is spam. Discord has the means to track the account and take action.

[graceful scaffold]

okay

[prisma dove]

It's your DMs, consider blocking per server, especially on large community servers. There is a setting to block it unless you already friends with that sender or share another server where you have not blocked DMs

[graceful scaffold]

okay

didn't know I could do it per server, forgot about that

[neon spoke]

[graceful scaffold]

anyone have any suggestions for someone who's autistic and has ADD and symptoms of ADHD, which can help with not doomscrolling on YouTube and Facebook shorts and reels so much, without having to resort to uninstalling YouTube off of my phone?

here lately I've noticed it's gotten pretty bad

I use up time that I could be using towards either meal prepping, doing hobbies that I enjoy, or possibly even making YouTube videos that I haven't gotten around to doing yet

was just thinking that I might just end up uninstalling YouTube temporarily, to keep me from doomscrolling on shorts

but don't really want to go that far with it

[opaque halo]

Get a timer. My wife has ADHD and sets a timer for either 20 or 40 minutes. When that goes off, she knows it's time to focus on things that need to be focused on.

[graceful scaffold]

what's annoying is that it almost feels like I honestly probably could get some use out of some sort of parental lock type of system, but it feels embarrassing even thinking of that being a possible solution

[wary holly]

Instead of using recommendations, use search. You'll soon run out of things to look up, or even if you don't, you'll find things more worth watching.

[graceful scaffold]

😭😭

[graceful scaffold]

That's not the issue, the issue isn't going to search for something and then watching YouTube shorts, it's literally just opening up YouTube because I feel like watching something from YouTube, doesn't matter what, and I just end up defaulting to watching short after short after short after short and so on

[opaque halo]

Doing things that help you stay focused on things shouldn't be embarrassing. It shows responsibility and your intent to tend to things you want / need to.

[wary holly]

Entertainment should be earned, otherwise you'll spend a few hours and not find anything entertaining.

[prisma dove]

Notify your family and friends. "here's my phone number; call or text. Here's my email address."
And walk away from FB. Too many ads, AI slop, and frankly too much work to actually see what my family and friends are up to. Easier to call and text.
I stopped opening FB a year ago, maybe more, like Christmas 2024. Don't miss it.

(and that was to help deal with depression too)

[graceful scaffold]

when I'm not at home, or having dinner with family every now and then, I'm usually either doing chores when I need to, or occasionally when it ends up being last minute, but when I'm not doing that, I'm either resting, or talking to people on discord because haven't talked to them recently, or other times I'll be doomscrolling when I don't really feel like doing anything, but I've been wanting to get back into a few different things that I used to do

I work Monday through Friday and sometime Saturdays

[wary holly]

And yes, you probably have family members, approach them and press the interact button.

[graceful scaffold]

from like 7:00 something in the morning until 5:00 in the evenings, sometimes even later

[opaque halo]

For me, this isn't the case. Entertainment is something I feel people need. It helps with the feeling of always needing to do something productive. Like right now, I'm painting miniatures for my entertainment while listening to / watching fishing videos 🙂

[graceful scaffold]

I do this every now and then

although I don't like doing it frequently, because I like living by myself and not being around family 24/7

[graceful scaffold]

I rarely open up Facebook, to be honest

but when I do, it's because either I saw an update that related to a family member and checked it, but then started doom scrolling

Not saying that happened today, just saying that that's what's happened at different times

[prisma dove]

That takes discipline, to not doom scroll. It's easy for me to do now, because I broke the addiction of FOMO on FB

[graceful scaffold]

that seems like an interesting case of productivity also being involved with what you love, though

what do you do when it comes to chores and such, that aren't very fun?

[graceful scaffold]

That's understandable

and also I agree, sort of, regarding the part about it being hard to break the doomscroll habit

I've heard many other people say it's not that hard, and just to focus on something else

but I can relate to the feeling of it being difficult

also, I don't know if it was clear before, but I really appreciate everyone's responses and suggestions

[opaque halo]

yes. I don't have ADHD but the mental health "issues" I do have emulate and show as ADHD. I actually have to make it a point to do things I enjoy, otherwise, I'm either doing stuff I feel I have to do or doing completely worthless stuff 🙂

[graceful scaffold]

interesting

The main ones I have aside from a couple of other things I have going on is just Autism, OCD, ADD, and symptoms of ADHD

All diagnosed by an actual doctor

The funny thing is that my OCD doesn't always correlate to me wanting to keep things spotless 24/7 all day everyday, and occasionally things like laundry pile up sometimes

[wary holly]

Diagnoses are not free tokens to be complacent and/or miserable and/or special.

[prisma dove]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[graceful scaffold]

could you elaborate on this?

Not sure I'm interpreting what you're saying correctly

are you saying that because I have those things going on, it doesn't mean that I should still be happy or whatever, or like saying that it's okay if I don't have everything together, sometimes?

[wary holly]

Everyone has their own issues, you don't see them, and you may not agree it's a real issue, but everyone has something they deal with.

[graceful scaffold]

yeah, that's true

[graceful scaffold]

I figure it wouldn't really hurt to ask, and there's really no consequences in asking either, so I was kind of wondering, may I maybe add you as a friend on here?

I completely can understand, if your answer is no

[prisma dove]

I think one point to make is, it's not about labels. Don't make it about labels. That can be a crutch.
Recognize what you want to improve. Identify triggers or obstacles. Have an action plan.

[graceful scaffold]

okay

sorry

bone

[opaque halo]

I get what Papa is saying. It's easy to fall into the "I have xxxxxx so this is just the way I am". Taking personal responsibility with your knowledge of what may impact you and your dealings with life and others is key.

[opaque halo]

I got ya 🙂

Have friend invites disabled here......cause .... well, most of us know 🙂

[graceful scaffold]

yeah

lmao

it's rare that I ever get anything from here anyways, honestly

usually it's more messages than friend requests

this is what I just changed the settings to

look fine?

[prisma dove]

don't be sorry. More of us have been in your position than you know. Let our experience help coach you.

[graceful scaffold]

anyone ever open up their windows on a windy but really sunny day, to just let the home be air conditioned by the outside weather, and enjoy the fresh air coming in, and the natural lighting that comes with it as well?

quite nice, personally

[prisma dove]

you joking, that's standard operating procedure

[graceful scaffold]

😭😂

unfortunately I don't do it that often

lol

mostly because Texas weather goes from being cold enough to have the propane heater on, to hot as hell

lmao

[opaque halo]

Until the trees and other vegetation start popping pollen!!

[prisma dove]

Understandable. I live in Northern California, and the weather.season can change day to day. Mother Nature is prone to firmware updates.

[graceful scaffold]

I've been trying to be productive today, made it think of soapy water earlier for some dishes that I put in it, been meaning to start actually washing them, but I've also done a bit of laundry, and put it off my bed, along with moving a couple of things around

[graceful scaffold]

yeah, sometimes I think they should just roll out one big update, instead of releasing smaller ones every couple of weeks

😂

music helps me be productive, sometimes

[wise bay]

Self-advertisement or advertisement for others is not allowed on this server unless it's directly relevant to a discussion or question. Please read the rules in the #rules channel.

[graceful scaffold]

so, probably a really stupid decision, but I'm pulling an all-nighter, even though I have work tomorrow

😅

partially out of spite because earlier I recently got nagged and stuffed towards, essentially because I'm doing responsible things and trying to take care of things that I've been needing to get taken care of

along with getting talked to about the fact that even though I have basic dental and medical insurance stuff right now, I may not even be able to do any kind of crazy surgeries or whatever like that even with a higher plan, whenever I'm not even trying to get a higher plan right now, and those bigger surgeries may not even be needed, until years later from now, and only God knows where I'll be then, or what I'll be doing, and it's just a bunch of stressful stuff that was talked about for no reason earlier

[leaden ore]

[graceful scaffold]

need to test audio stuff for YouTube content creation, but for some reason can't bring myself to get out of bed and do it

I have a whole hour and a half before I intend to shower, then sleep

well, technically an hour

[livid plover]

just do it

[unique wyvern]

Are you depressed or suffering major chronic pain? Haha

I wish I did not hurt as much so I could do more things and not just lay around sometimes

[graceful scaffold]

no chronic pain, but occasionally I think I'm whatever the type of depression is where you don't really notice it or really feel it on the surface but you're unintentionally like masking or whatever, and managing fine for the most part but every once in awhile feel sad but not intentionally, and even though you don't want to

mostly kind of manifests as almost like a lonely feeling, not really sure how else to describe it though

[graceful scaffold]

I will tonight

[unique wyvern]

I can understand that

[graceful scaffold]

hey, I think someone might be impersonating you, @twilit sandal

either that or you're the impersonator, lol

[graceful scaffold]

how can I stop people from sending me friend requests from this server?

I have message requests turned off for this server, along with direct messages unless I'm friends with them

[still turret]

DMs and Friend Requests are the same permission.

They can be disabled in the server-specific Privacy Setting

[carmine ibex]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-fsr-5-scarlet-cortex/

The technology depends on the dedicated AI accelerators in RDNA 4, specifically their support for high-throughput INT8 matrix operations. hahaha

[prisma dove]

spoiler box actually attracts attention and people are lazy, so they click the spoiler first instead of the link.

Gotta love being able to go into a Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity, find a 1080p 60 Hz fully working Acer computer monitor for $15 only to find out its 75% off too due to yellow tags being discounted today

[smoky rapids]

I might actually take a stab and see what the GW by my house has.

Perk of regional corpo store.

[sudden adder]

Only weird thing is no hdmi. Just vga, dvi and displayport. But not an issue for me at all

[copper pasture]

that is a bit weird, having DP but no hdmi

but yeah you can find secondary monitors for insanely nice prices these days and it's so useful for streaming

[sudden adder]

Acer v246hl

[copper pasture]

very good price for that monitor

[sudden adder]

Yeah, just over $4 when all was said and done

[simple torrent]

Cool!

[graceful scaffold]

I already did that

That's the thing

I have message requests and direct messages turned off for this server

but yet I still get streamers trying to add me in order to promote their stuff, or try to collaborate, but mostly to promote their stuff

it's starting to become annoying at this point, because kind of thought it would stop if I turned off direct messages

[prisma dove]

You need to disable "from everyone" in the Content & Social settings - Friend Requests section.

[graceful scaffold]

global settings?

like application-wide I mean

[prisma dove]

This is a friend request, not a direct message, so direct message settings don't affect it.

[graceful scaffold]

alright

[prisma dove]

It's highlighted on the left side in the screenshot, for context.

[graceful scaffold]

okay, my apologies

[prisma dove]

Like, it's all right there to be seen.

[graceful scaffold]

Missed the fact that it was in the user settings, but it's also on desktop, so wanted to ask, that way I could make sure

but again, my apologies

[prisma dove]

You mean the desktop app? that's where my screenshots are from.

[graceful scaffold]

Yes, that's what I'm saying

That's why I asked for clarification on whether it was global settings or per server settings you were referring to

because the screenshot you sent was for desktop, and I'm on mobile, but I also missed the fact that it was in the user settings

[prisma dove]

The screenshot shows it.

[graceful scaffold]

I understand that now, I missed the portion of the screenshot that specifically said user settings, at the top

That's my mistake

[prisma dove]

okay, you can carry on then

[graceful scaffold]

alright, thank you

sorry for being a nuisance

[prisma dove]

Stop apologizing, just carry on.

[graceful scaffold]

okay

[graceful scaffold]

I turned off the everyone toggle, and the server members toggle, but left on friends of friends, that should most likely solve it for most random friend requests, yeah?

[left mulch]

Yes

[graceful scaffold]

okay, just wanted to make sure

didn't want to turn them off completely, in case I had someone who had a mutual friend with me, who wanted to add me as a friend

[graceful scaffold]

how's your day or evening been, so far?

[left mulch]

So far so good, how about you?

[graceful scaffold]

got off of work around an hour or so ago

so, not too bad

going to try to be productive later this evening though

I appreciate you asking, and I'm glad you're doing good so far, as well

[left mulch]

I’m gonna do the opposite, I think I’ve probably worked like 40 of the last 60 hours so it’s time to relax and play video games

[graceful scaffold]

[dawn mantle]

i got a warning when i downloaded OBS

• Microsoft Store (Windows)
• Steam (Windows, macOS)
• Flathub (Linux)

[dawn mantle]

thanks amigo

[surreal pasture]

anyone know how i hide the windows button screen showing on my stream?

[livid plover]

the taskbar at the bottom? don't use display capture

[surreal pasture]

it still shows when i hit my windows key

[livid plover]

because you have a display capture source. delete that source

[surreal pasture]

yea but it just black screens

if i delete display capture it only black screens

@livid plover

[livid plover]

then set your game capture up correctly. pop by #windows-support to get help with that

[livid plover]

yeah post that over in the support channel to get help

[surreal pasture]

yo?

happy birthday @vernal fossil, my fellow aries

[neon spoke]

birthday, gender, and very rough location are in some cases all that's needed to fingerprint someone; some folks are okay with this (i.e. they see their stream presence as being a public figure) but the warning makes sense to me, to be fair

Some folks are cautious, some are unaware

[neon spoke]

many happy returns 🙂

[lethal fractal]

Why so many threada and handles

[livid plover]

windows/app devs be like

[amber sparrow]

Wdym why its a 32t cpu

[neon spoke]

yeah, not too abnormal if you have a lot of stuff running; browser tabs are big offenders

unused bandwidth is wasted bandwidth after all

[livid plover]

Buying a top end chip and being afraid to use it is silly 😅

[neon spoke]

I mean, I don't run SETI or mine crypto so, my CPU only sees full bore usage when encoding video or building software 🤪 I can't judge

or Folding At Home, that's a good one for idle usage too, I think that's still a thing

(mining crypto is not a good use of cycles, of course)

also my chip is uh... no longer "top end"

something something "data centers" something something "cost of ram"

[livid plover]

There's also a free render farm for blender projects you can donate cpu/nvidia gpu's to if you want to help community renders 😇

[neon spoke]

Unless they're rendering "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up" I'm not sure I want to help

[sudden adder]

why not just search google for poses

[desert rain]

hey moderators ,apparently there's a pattern of people sending friend requests to last chatters on the channels

[wise bay]

If you were messaged by a user who you suspect may be malicious, scamming, a bot, etc, we recommend reporting these users to the Discord Trust and Safety team so that they can be addressed appropriately. We strongly encourage users to be mindful of DMs they receive from users who are in any public Discord server.

Please report any suspicious private messages to Discord, either by using the Report Spam button in a DM, or by reporting it directly to Discord Trust and Safety

[desert rain]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

that's not helpful, this is friend requests not dm

[sudden adder]

Friend Requests are also outside of the server's ability to police, just like DMs are outside of it

[desert rain]

meh

may want to add info about random friend requests to that canned message

[graceful scaffold]

this might help, @desert rain

it's the same thing on mobile, go to your settings, select content and social, and you can change it to where friends of friends can friend request you, but no one else can

I recently did such, myself

[desert rain]

disabling from everyone doesnt help
and disabling server members disables everyone which is not desired

[graceful scaffold]

you don't get random friend requests, but you do get friend requests from people who have a mutual friend with you, so you don't completely have friend requests locked down

[graceful scaffold]

disabling serving members does not disable everyone

[desert rain]

i dont have a ton of mutual friend people

[graceful scaffold]

disabling server members literally just disables server members

[graceful scaffold]

also, if someone wants to friend request you, you could just add them as a friend

it doesn't keep you from adding someone as a friend

it just keeps people from sending you friend requests

[desert rain]

wrong, it implies disabling everyone

[graceful scaffold]

no, it doesn't

That's why there's a toggle for friends of friends

disabling server members implies disabling it for any server members who aren't friends of your friends

That's literally all it implies

[desert rain]

see for yourself, the toggle of everyone turns off when disabling server members

[graceful scaffold]

disabling it for everyone literally disables it for everyone

[graceful scaffold]

disabling for everyone turns off because you have a different toggle selected

it's not going to keep both on, because you're not disabling it for everyone

you're only disabling it for server members

why would it disable it for everyone if you select for only server members?

if you wanted to disable friend requests for everyone, use the everyone toggle

if you don't, use one of the other two

[desert rain]

i only toggled server members and everyone got toggled too

[graceful scaffold]

Yes, that's how it's supposed to work

because you only have it set to friends of friends

if you have it set to friends and friends, you don't get random friend requests

and only people who are friends of your friends can send you requests

[desert rain]

again, i dont want everyone to be disabled because that affects getting requests from people without mutual servers nor mutual friends

[graceful scaffold]

it's literally bluntly stated by what the toggle is called and what it's for

it's very simple

[graceful scaffold]

then just add them as a friend, if they want to be friends with you

it doesn't keep you from being friends with somebody

it just keeps it from letting random people friend request you

if you don't like it, leave them open for everyone

[desert rain]

how im supposed to know someone randomly genuinely wants to get in touch with me

[graceful scaffold]

they message you?

message requests are the same as friend requests

[desert rain]

without mutual servers

[graceful scaffold]

and if they're in the same servers you, they can also reach out to you in said server

[graceful scaffold]

so you're saying someone who isn't on discord or someone who got your username from outside of discord, yes?

[desert rain]

someone's who is on discord but not on any servers i am in

[graceful scaffold]

then how would they be finding out about you?

[desert rain]

stop trolling with your narrowminded logic please

[graceful scaffold]

if they are from YouTube or twitch, recommend that they join your discord server or something

[desert rain]

i dont have a discord server for that

[graceful scaffold]

I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely asking how they would find out about you

then make a small server for that

it's very simple to create a basic server with one or two channels to talk in

you don't even have to set many permissions up if you don't know how, if it's just for people talking

[desert rain]

im full on discord servers

[graceful scaffold]

then remove one that you're not active in?

I regularly have to remove one every now and then that I'm not active in but forgot about, because I hit the limit every now and then myself

Yes I have nitro, but when I don't have nitro I hit it often

I haven't recently joined any new servers either, honestly

there's no way that you have at least a hundred or more servers, that are truly beneficial to you, that you're commonly active in, that you pull information from

other than someone being from your YouTube or twitch channels, there's nowhere else that they would find out about you from, unless you have some sort of Instagram page for content you're making or something, which they could reach out to you on Instagram itself, or other platforms that you're on, instead of discord

there are solutions to your issue, you just have to use what's available

[desert rain]

there's no issue but thanks

[graceful scaffold]

there was, the issue was that you didn't want to keep friend requests closed to everyone, but didn't like the fact that you had random people from this server sending you friend requests

solutions were given to you, but you had issues with those solutions, because you still wanted some random requests because what if someone wanted to get in contact with you that you were fine with talking with?

solutions were given to you for that as well

[livid plover]

the real issue is discord having nonsensical defaults for so many things, even roles/permissions

oh also im trying to decide to either get a 7900 or a 7950x or a 7950x3d

[livid plover]

refurb and almost price of a factory unit is silly

[marsh helm]

and i need a new psu

[livid plover]

do you need the extra cores?

[marsh helm]

yes im uprading from a 5800x

and im doing a lot more unity and unreal compling

and my god its slow

the 7950x is $305 used

[livid plover]

and it's multithreaded well enough to scale across more cores/threads?

[marsh helm]

and the 7950x3d is $405

well ill need to get more ram

but thats going to have to wait

theres also the fact that next gen amd is next year

so im trying to decide to just get a 7950x and upgrade to whatever they offer or maybe get a cheap 9950x3d

china refurb ram market is down 30%

and now iran is targeting the big ai datacenter

soo i expect ram prices to get funky

plus everyone is going to be running out of helium and nitrogen and nat gas and diesel

[livid plover]

better buy now before the world economy collapses

[marsh helm]

soo i might as well buy what i cannow

yeah

ram dropped $150 in the last 2 weeks

its still $270 for just 2x16

but most places are still selling that for $400+

[still turret]

Be kind please, that's like the one main rule we have here. No need for attitude, and I recommend taking the time to read the rules you agreed to follow when you joined our community.

[full fern]

We had a nice Easter, got to sit outside and look at the view for a bit while eating sandwiches and putting bugles on our fingers.

[marsh helm]

it was really nice today

[full fern]

Sure was! First time I have spent any real time outdoors this year!

[marsh helm]

my dog took me on a walk

he also took my mom on a walk

[full fern]

Good dog!!

Tomorrow is looking nice too! High of 67f, no rain.

[marsh helm]

im going to need my ac soon

[full fern]

For sure! Our bedroom gets a lot of afternoon sun, we're using the AC before we go to sleep.

[graceful scaffold]

opinions and/or thoughts?

first one is a screenshot I took in game, then cropped to the size it is now, while the second one is the same screenshot but after cropping I added an enhanced option to it, on my phone

both screenshots were taken on my phone, as I was in the game

[jaunty fulcrum]

try using a minecraft map instead and take a screenshot of that 😉

[graceful scaffold]

thanks, I'll see what I can do

any specific suggestions other than taking a screenshot of the map?

also, should I take a screenshot of it when it's in my hand, or put in an item frame?

genuinely asking, not trying to troll

[jaunty fulcrum]

hand will probably be easier, looking straight down so the map is fullscreen

[graceful scaffold]

I currently have it on a map, but it's not centered unfortunately

[jaunty fulcrum]

that's where cropping comes in 🙂

[graceful scaffold]

kk

[graceful scaffold]

would it be fine if I sent the result of said attempt here, for you to take a look at?

also, as a follow-up, should I add the enhanced option like I did with the second image above, or no?

not trying to advertise anything, or promote anything, to be clear

honestly was just thinking of trying to make a new profile picture for myself, using Minecraft pixel art, lol

it's also kind of my first time trying to do anything pixel art related

[graceful scaffold]

this was the result, unfortunately I don't think orange shows up very well on maps, instead it kind of looks more brown from my perspective:

[jaunty fulcrum]

looks better than the earlier examples though, at least in my opinion

[graceful scaffold]

it does look more clear and polished, I agree

[livid halo]

Hi I like bread.

[amber sparrow]

[sudden adder]

Statistically speaking, those who like bread end up loafing around a lot

[livid plover]

counterpoint: cats. all the loaf, none of the bread

[sudden adder]

How can u say that when they kneedin biscuits all the time?

[livid plover]

are biscuits bread?

[sudden adder]

Yes

Quick bread

[copper pasture]

Just keep it away from the teleporter

[junior owl]

Hi, is anyone here good at marketing?

[livid plover]

i think you'll have better luck looking for someone over at fiverr or similar hiring/gig sites

[opaque halo]

I can rip though a market and get what I need in under 10 minutes

[livid plover]

(and no, i couldn't sell myself to a crocodile)

[opaque halo]

That's not a sale.. that's a donation 😛

[prisma dove]

rookie numbers

[opaque halo]

That's including 8 minutes in the self checkout line

[prisma dove]

that's 8 minutes too long in that line. Unless they are giving me a discount for doing their job, I'll go flirt with the checker.

[opaque halo]

There's only one and it's cause they are where the tobacco is.

[halcyon timber]

Funny

[void gale]

Transversal hitches/shutters are because of pc hardware and software compatabality issue ?
Because this thing wont happen in console?

I think streaming assets between cpu,gpu,ram,vram,ssd,game engine is very slow in pc comparing to console?
But there are tons of games which runs well on pc too like Doom Dark Ages , Valorant , CS2 ,... is it just because the games are targeted for pc ?

[livid plover]

transversal?

[void gale]

whenever i enter into new area in many games i face minor shutter which i named it as tranversal hitch/shutter

[livid plover]

so do consoles

[sudden adder]

Consoles are just pcs with a very specific focus

[livid plover]

and no i'd chalk it more up to shoddy game/engine code or I/O issues on your system

[void gale]

I/O on pc cant be fixed?

I think i saw nvidia posting something about RTX I/O long time ago . didnt it came yet?

[livid plover]

sure it can. fix your pc if it has an issue

[wary holly]

What's there to fix?

[void gale]

lol I mean i dont see shutter in console version but i see it in pc version

[wary holly]

What games are affected, specifically?

[livid plover]

and are you running same-ish graphics quality, resolution and framerate as the console?

[neon spoke]

Consoles use the same stuff. The larger difference is what's running on the PC alongside the game: Windows, for instance, has tons of services running, browser tabs still open in the background have impact, there's more going on.

[void gale]

Ok i got it . As i expected its because lot of things are flowing in pc hardware unlike console (which is pc hardware focused soloely customized for gaming)

[wary holly]

If you want something actionable, name specific games you're having issues with.

[livid plover]

and then start testing stuff relating to it. maybe it's just a bad engine or lack of shader caching

[void gale]

Games which comes immediately to my mind are usually unreal engine games .

Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy , Black Myth Wukong

I was playing No Rest for the wicked game just before now and i am facing transversal hitches only in dense areas like when i roam in cities.
Its unity engine and the game is still in early access

[wary holly]

Doesn't black myth wukong run at about 30 fps on ps5? You can cap it at 30 on pc and get no stutters there as well.

[void gale]

i did 30fps limit on pc but whenever i enter new area i face the transversal hitch in pc unlike ps5

It makes me think the flow of assets or whatever data flowing in pc hardware with software(game engine) is slow

[wary holly]

Might be from lazy loading, many newer games use that to reduce load times.

You can lessen the issue somewhat by moving the game to a faster drive.

[void gale]

I am using only 1 drive which is samsung 980 pro 2TB .
My Windows 11 OS is clean installed and mostly empty because i just it only for gaming (2-3 games max installed) .

[livid plover]

so OS and game on the same drive? but this just sounds like a bad game dev or engine quirk thing

[void gale]

Those many games have transversal hitches ? Devs should target creating games on PC also instead of just focusing on ps5 first and throwing into pc with minor efforts
They probably doing it because pc hardware is powerful and it can handle easily anyway so which is creating lot of other issues too

[livid plover]

you tell 'em, girl. lay it on them how they should do it

can you tell them to also finish their games before releasing it?

[void gale]

They are aware of it but due to limited budget , time constraints they wont do it

Devs who has it are doing well on pc too but they are becoming quite less now a days

[sudden adder]

The more things change the more they stay the same

[wary holly]

Are you actively looking for things to complain about? Consoles run games at 1080p~1440p upscaled, at 30 FPS, meanwhile PCs draw 60+ real frames per second without any upscaling nonsense.

[neon spoke]

Remember when Gradius 3 on SNES would bring the console to its knees? Devs have always been pushing their luck. And not every team has a John Carmack

[livid plover]

lol i can imagine the frame gen actually hiding stutters well. "oop, just guess another frame to keep up!"

[sudden adder]

Dont need a carmack in my life these days

[livid plover]

i want whoever is in charge at factorio for code performance

[sudden adder]

Carmack is “not the guy” these days. Probably never was, really

[livid plover]

the early valve guys were pretty cool

[wary holly]

[e-mail]

[void gale]

No i am not actively complaning but i was annoyed with these hitches becoming quite often in many games so i want to share thoughts about it .

Yes consoles do run games at lower resolutions,graphics.fps but they do not have this transversal hitches as much like playing games in pc .
PC having large library and insane power . Whats the point if we are facing such hitches?

[neon spoke]

I played Tingus Goose btw. My girlfriend was absolutely enamored with it. I'm pretty shaken by the experience.

[neon spoke]

The point is the large library, in my opinion.

[wary holly]

There's no shortage of PC games - quite the opposite, I'm so spoiled for choice I'm having a hard time deciding what to play next. If a few of them are having performance issues, that's fine, I'll skip them and try again in a few years, no need to overthink it.

[void gale]

My point is not about comparison btw pc and console gaming tho
Its just annoyance of the transversal hitching

[wary holly]

Report this to the developers and play something else in the meantime.

[neon spoke]

As good a reason as any to find variety

[void gale]

Games which r well optimized like Doom Dark Ages , Valorant , Cs2 are not my type but games which i am interested in having transversal hitches and shader compilation issues except 2d indie games mostly
I am enjoying games even with these issues but wouldnt it be good if they fix them ?

[opaque halo]

Play demos. Accept they are just that and may have issues, etc. Focus on the purpose of a game - for fun and enjoyment

[void gale]

I do enjoy games even with these issues 🙂 but i just want to enjoy them more smoothly without these hitches

my brain thinking why should i accept and normalize these hitches in many games? so sometimes i mail the devs if i had chance to ask them about this topic

[wary holly]

I wish I had 1m+ followeds on tw*tter so I could raise a stink about this, "this game runs poorly, fix it plzthnx". Though if I did, I'd rather raise a stink about bigger issues like "make gacha games 21+" or "better yet, don't put gambling in games to begin with".

[sudden adder]

Yep, demos are always a fun time, and free.

Also good to get on key mailer lists if you stream, so many game keys come thru that

Checked before I did my Nova Roma streams a week or so ago, and yep, had a key sitting there waiting

[heady bay]

uhh i gotta go to streamlabs i guess

i mean switch

[sudden adder]

And they’re gone

[opaque halo]

either that or that person was banned from it

That was my thinking, honestly

[terse helm]

huh?

[copper pasture]

https://fxtwitter.com/zachbussey/status/2036849951657840700 seems trovo is shutting down

[jaunty fulcrum]

yup, that's 2 week old news

[copper pasture]

I'm not 100% dialed in to news like this, but also I feel it goes to show how few people care about trovo that I'm only seeing this posted around now

[terse helm]

That took a lot longer than I thought it would

[sudden adder]

From the sounds of it, no one was using it anymore, or at least not enough for it to make any sense

[copper pasture]

even before Kick came into existence and became a more popular Twitch clone, it seemed like it was pointless and they were just burning money without getting anywhere

so to me it was already doomed more or less from the start when it seemed clear nobody cared, and then it was even more doomed

[sudden adder]

Kick has gambling money to prop it, so they are a different beast. Even more different than MS was when they acquired Mixer then a few years later closed it down

[livid plover]

wonder why they didn't just leave out the audio track

[modern yoke]

oh true, I didn't even notice that. But yeah they left in the full uncompressed audio track even though there's no sound lol

[livid plover]

there's sound for me with the in-browser player

[full fern]

I got kicked LOL Just testing to see if I still have my role

Nope! @still turret whenever you have time, could I be reinstated? I pasted someone's browser errors and got caught by the bot. haha

[still turret]

bwah? you should be exempt from those kicks.

[full fern]

LOL Next time I will just do a screenshot of them

Thx, homie!

F

[full fern]

I was just thinking of you! haha

[left mulch]

I don’t think I’ve been kicked before tbh, my join date is only so recent because this was not my original account

It happening because you posted a vercel link is hilarious to me though so thanks for that

[full fern]

Oh, right, it was an account thing.

The dangers of AI never cease! LOL

[still turret]

We shuffled around some of the roles recently, so there might just be a bot misconfig. support volunteers are supposed to be exempt from the normal kick rules.

[full fern]

Makes sense. No worries, I thought it was funny.

[jaunty fulcrum]

at least it was a kick and not a ban, at least 😂

Vibecoded resources nor PR's aren't accepted nor welcome from what i've seen

[carmine ibex]

I mean, vibecode and ai code are two different things
But from what I've heard, looking through ai code and correcting it can be more time consuming.. so a lot of times not even worth it to fix its mistakes

[smoky rapids]

Get compromised

[livid plover]

oof

[carmine ibex]

They say hwinfo but then say hw monitor later on

[livid plover]

some refer to it as HWiNFO monitor

[copper pasture]

I've experimented a fair bit with llms, mostly to see how they work and what their strengths and weaknesses are, and yeah, I really don't like the output and I don't really want to become someone who just patches up some junior's code

like that feeling of "well.... I guess this probably works if I fix it up a bit, but I wouldn't do it like this to begin with" and you just don't feel like adopting the code

[lethal fractal]

Spotify does

Has been since 2018

No wonder it runs worse than apple music

It runs worse than like RS Media player on my phone

[livid plover]

yikes

[lethal fractal]

What yikes

My ram is cl32

It was cheaper like £40 for each 16GB stick

[livid plover]

It's mixed tho?

[opaque halo]

Mixed RAM may work, but it's not optimal

[copper pasture]

I'm glad the pc I built in 2018 is still perfectly fine for work for me, not looking forward to buying new hardware eventually

I was planning on making a big ass NAS this year though but I guess I'll just make do with my old stuff for a while

Repurpose the old stuff 🙂 'tis what I did when I had a NAS running for a few. Was a self project to learn more about 'em for IRL work stuff.

[lethal fractal]

No it's not

CT16G4DFRA32A best ram

[livid plover]

So not a set? Then not matched, just luck

[lethal fractal]

It is a set its literally the same ram

I bought all in sets of 2

same for my server

Why does smart tool show me RX 7900XT 4GB

[livid plover]

Cuz smart is for storage, dannys.

[lethal fractal]

The RAM is listed as CL22 on Amazon

[lethal fractal]

This

[neon spoke]

Oh, you're dannys? Why the name change?

[neon spoke]

And, I'm sorry to say, but since when has a "lifetime warrantee" amounted to anything? 🤪

[lethal fractal]

Well yes if it causes a memory error on my PC such as this

[lethal fractal]

They will replace it free but ig not in 40y if the sticker has literally decomposed

[opaque halo]

The lifetime of what? The RAM. If that's the case then the RAM is dead. Warranty ends 🙂

[neon spoke]

I suspect they won't replace it for free at any stage, but it's the thought that counts!

[lethal fractal]

They do

[neon spoke]

Stop clouding the issue with facts, sir!

[lethal fractal]

The lifetime of you

[neon spoke]

Guess I better get down to the gym then

[lethal fractal]

I hate cruical storage

[livid plover]

Samsung worse bro

[opaque halo]

RAM errors can be caused by mismatched sticks. Can't ready anything in that post.

[lethal fractal]

The ram is also CL22 btw

£40 per 16GB stick for CL22 ram is great

Better than DDR5

[opaque halo]

Then, why did you say "4 sticks are in a config of 21 21 21 47"??

[lethal fractal]

Because it downclocks on auto

If you need more in-depth technical help for your computer issues outside of OBS, you can join the /r/TechSupport Discord server

[neon spoke]

If I were in your shoes, I'd immediately be looking in Windows Event Viewer for the associated errors and codes, cross referencing them with the device IDs under Device Manager, and bringing all of that info to the r/techsupport Discord, and being very, very nice to them to get help

If you've already done the basics (tried re-seating the RAM, tried running Memcheck and seen a clean report for each DIMM installed on its own) you're looking at a motherboard issue...but my guess is you'll find the error with memcheck

That PCI error code apparently means the OS is having trouble reliably connecting with whatever the device is at that PCI address. I'd also, were it me, make the timing across those DIMMs uniform. And I wouldn't OC anything in the system. You're not OC'ing, are you?

[lethal fractal]

I mean its working now
