[sonic barn]

[manic torrent]

the xbox streaming comes from sydney, so the latency and performance is actually kinda shit.

[vapid smelt]

but why?

[wary summit]

nvidia now be 90ms ping

[dreamy rose]

Emulation

[wary summit]

i can run MW2 on my phone at like 60fps

[sonic barn]

I can run Morrowind on my phone

[wary summit]

I can run valheim on my phone

Windows for ARM 🦾

[dreamy rose]

[vapid smelt]

geekbench sucks

[dreamy rose]

its better than any Sim racing game thats for sure

[sonic barn]

Bing chilling 🍦

[tidal glade]

thank you i was gonna say

[drifting prism]

🤨

[tidal glade]

Qilin, tho

[dreamy rose]

i have a friend named Qiling

[vapid smelt]

maybe if people from in china could communicate with the outside world we would know how to spell it correctly

[manic torrent]

I love how confidentally you spruik your ....stuff.

[wary summit]

its like north korea said something

[drifting prism]

😎

[tidal glade]

chinese people can communicate with the western internet, we just don't have anything to say that's worthwhile

[wary summit]

you in china?

[tidal glade]

no i'm just aware of how chinese nationals feel about hte rest of us lmfao

[wary summit]

sad

[dreamy rose]

what has Simracing really done for gaming in general?

[manic torrent]

I've video chatted to family in china, soooooo

[wary summit]

in china rn felling kinda Mid

[tidal glade]

we're sort of like the wacky neighbor

[manic torrent]

what the fuck does that even mean

[drifting prism]

🫤🔫😎

[wary summit]

yea it was my family

WAIT HOL UP

[dreamy rose]

Daytona was the first Real 3D 60 FPS experience we ever got. what has Sim Racing done to actually push Games and technology forward?

more importantly Daytona is Still a lot of fun to play today. even though its nearly 30 and nobody cares about it anymore

[unkempt widget]

my pc blackscreens when i go into uefi firmware settings

[limpid hamlet]

Heya

[unkempt widget]

how do i fix it

[dreamy rose]

Skill issue

[unkempt widget]

damn

[dreamy rose]

hi

[unkempt widget]

ok it works now

msi just does a coin flip every time i go to bios

[dreamy rose]

you just didnt mash the key hard enough

[graceful burrow]

You know you can just hold the key right

[manic torrent]

... why do games have to push technology ?

[unkempt widget]

what key

do i have to hold shift the entire way through

[graceful burrow]

Depends on what motherboard you have, check your manual

[dreamy rose]

a reason to remember it firstly.

[manic torrent]

your metrics for stuff are totally whack and make no sense

[unkempt widget]

what

[graceful burrow]

The key to get into bios is not standardized and changes depending on what motherboard manufacturer you have

So check your manual

[manic torrent]

I remember need for speed porsche edition, because it was fun.

It had a bunch of good content.

[unkempt widget]

i need to hit f11 for it to post?

nvm that's when i first install windows

windows 11 is currently 20% done downloading

why is it so slow 💀

[dreamy rose]

second of all its important to remember what used to blow peoples minds. the stuff we find primitive now was important to get here in the first place. thirdly. people still believe games that aren't realistic = crap. thats a given cause of how Simracer fans shit on Arcadey games like Daytona USA because they aren't Realistic.

[manic torrent]

dude. it's ok not to like things. It doesn't mean they are crap. You can just say "I live in the past and don't like anything new and I don't like it"

[dreamy rose]

sure the latest entry in the series is. Rather shit. but still. its not bad because its an arcade racer its bad because it is lazy rerelease.

[manic torrent]

daytona USA isn't just not realistic, it's barely even arcade by 2023 standards.

[snow jetty]

I appreciate your suggestion, but your link doesn't work... It appears that it was blocked or something...

[dreamy rose]

Clearly never touched the game in the first place.

[manic torrent]

lol I played the original arcade when it was new.

[tall wedge]

probably removed the query string or something

[manic torrent]

it's fun, and was amazing.

[vapid smelt]

it was a refurb probably went out of stock

[dreamy rose]

well, go play it again. its still fun. it holds up well.

hell go try Daytona USA 2.

[manic torrent]

... I know.

[dreamy rose]

even Virtua Racing is still Good fun.

well SEGA said fuck Virtua Racing and Ignored it completely. instead opting to release the 403680463252th Sonic game in existence

way to pay respect to the titles that put them on the map dont you think?

[snow jetty]

Damn thanks for the suggestion anyway! I appreciate it

[agile dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/0001-gif-25597406

[unkempt widget]

when does the twitch sub kick in

[graceful burrow]

When it does, there isn't a chart or estimated time

You get to wait

[manic torrent]

oh, you didn't get the chart? I have a chart

[graceful burrow]

Post the chart

Dm it to me actually

It'll be funny when starminor doesn't see it

[manic torrent]

It says not for transmission, eyes only

[graceful burrow]

Fair tbh

[manic torrent]

haha, 32" 1440p matches the PPI perfectly... but it's too big. herp

[vapid smelt]

91.79 PPI

1080p 24inch 91.9 PPI making it better

[rocky ginkgo]

figured out my issue with halo infinite performance on maxwell cards

essentially, newer nvidia drivers have fucked performance. reverting to 517.48 fixed it for me

getting a smooth 130fps on my 980ti + 10100f rig at 1080p low

could be a potential fix for those with older maxwell cards wanting to play infinite

[polar fern]

Linus should do an air purifier video. So many comments on dust etc - why not review some & help folks with reducing dust buildup & having cleaner air?

[summer folio]

Make it an PC hardware nerd twist

Noctua industrial fan/multiple fans in serie, mounted to random HEPA filter

[polar fern]

Yeah like see if DIY works

[summer folio]

[polar fern]

Etc

[summer folio]

Hehe, to pass air threw HEPA-filter you need sick air pressure

[polar fern]

Yes

Blowymatron

[summer folio]

Vacuum Cleaners is perfect place for an HEPA filter, everybody already accepts them sounding like jet engine

All my Electrolux vacuum cleaners has HEPA-Filter.

[polar fern]

[summer folio]

I want 2 industrial Noctua fans mounted in serial, on a HEPA-Filter, mounted infront of my face with headband aka "mask"

Always supreme clean air

[manic torrent]

mask for YOU. for everyone else it's a disease crop duster

[summer folio]

If everyone has mask, everyones protected.

Also, if I don't get sick, I can't spread virus gg ez

[polar fern]

[balmy drum]

[polar fern]

[balmy drum]

Actually I'll go to tech chat

[summer folio]

[manic torrent]

partitions? what year is it

[summer folio]

C Partition so you can reformat OS without wipe other data

[vapid smelt]

if only the mask was 100% affective

[manic torrent]

C is a drive assignment, not a partition

[summer folio]

Partition C smh

[summer folio]

Gotta have swimming eye glasses also

[manic torrent]

It's ok to not know stuff. I mean not for me, because I know. but for you, since you obviously don't know it, just admit it.

[summer folio]

All masks made for asians tho,
no random 1-time use mask covers both nose & chin kek

[manic torrent]

which is why I have a multiple use N99 rated mask

[summer folio]

[vapid smelt]

or do a sweeden have have no lock down and mask mandate and have one of the lowest death rate

[summer folio]

Yes, I'm from Sweden.
Never had any mask mandate or lockdowns

Our state doc. Recommended not to wear mask.

[manic torrent]

yes

masks are about cases, deaths are about medical care and vulnerability etc.

[summer folio]

We sweds are not very sociable by nature.
Hence the 10 year old meme "Waiting for the bus, like a Swede" #off-topic

[manic torrent]

yeah - it's not apples to apples. also it gets fuckin cold 🙂

[vapid smelt]

sounds like my kind of country

[unkempt widget]

[unreal thorn]

You like the cold because you're a bite hider

'I'm not hiding my arms it's just cold out' you aren't fooling anyone.

[unkempt widget]

ooh i actually like windows 11

ui feels nice

[near nymph]

Chai

What is that, like cereal in hot water

[polar fern]

Tea = good

[unreal thorn]

You look horrified

I would be horrified too if I had to drink cereal in hot water

At gunpoint

[near nymph]

Spiced tea

Cinnamon, cardamon, etc

With black tea. Sugar and milk

[unreal thorn]

I mean if you want to talk cultures, American culture is pretty shit, pouring salt and sugar on everything

[near nymph]

Woot woot Daytona beach

[full fossil]

hey

[near nymph]

I miss Florida

[unreal thorn]

My mother and I went to diners down south and the food was so salty we decided not to go to diners for that trip

It was disgusting

[full fossil]

i miss winter

[near nymph]

Where did you go to? I don't like my food that salty.

[unreal thorn]

I don't even know

[near nymph]

When I was down in Florida it wasn't that bad.

[unreal thorn]

I was too young to remember

[near nymph]

Some stuff is WAYYY to salty

But usually it's more Salty than I'm used to but I usually got light on the salt on my personal cooking

[unreal thorn]

Yeah because Americans are fat and hardly have working circulatory systems

[near nymph]

Lol what country are you from?

[unreal thorn]

America.

[near nymph]

Northern America is usually okay

[vapid smelt]

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-coronavirus-cases-world-map/ bloomberg shows sweden at a very low death rate to but it also shows that mainland china had only 5k deaths from covid

[stray apex]

china probably did have a fairly low death rate
because everyone was locked inside

it's not so low now

[near nymph]

China is known to falsely report COVID deaths

[unreal thorn]

I'm in northern America and it's cold but I might just stay here so that I don't die of heart failure at 60

Not really

[near nymph]

They lifted the lockin

[unkempt widget]

they're fake stats

[vapid smelt]

#NumberOne

[unreal thorn]

Yeah it's America

[stray apex]

is the US still tracking it?

[unreal thorn]

Any negative stat usually comes from this dumb country

[near nymph]

I mean atleast the American hospitals are honest lmfao

Everywhere I go in Florida if I wear a mask I get a weird look

[vapid smelt]

i think Russia cheated no way they only had 386k

[near nymph]

So I didn't wear a mask kek

[stray apex]

why would you go to florida

[unreal thorn]

Bad reason

[near nymph]

I mean... Russia's vaccine was actually not bad...

[near nymph]

Business and holiday trip

[unreal thorn]

The people who gave you weird looks can choke on a dirty sock

[stray apex]

I mean, russia is not known for their highly competent government bureaucracy

[unreal thorn]

They're just Americans

[near nymph]

I mean... I was the most vaccinated guy in the house party I was at

They were like oh I got 2 shots and the booster.

[unreal thorn]

Disgusting, everyone should be equally vaccinated but I'm not surprised at all considering you live in America

[near nymph]

I'm like... Haha... I got 2 shots and a booster and the bivalent booster. They were like. Wtf?

I don't live in America

[unreal thorn]

Oh, you're lucky

[lilac sage]

have you heard the daytona beach theme song?

[unreal thorn]

Sounded like you did

[near nymph]

I'm a Canadian. I get 180d Visa Free access to America.

[lilac sage]

jake also had like 3 ps3s under that bed or something

[unreal thorn]

Yes

[lilac sage]

kinky stuff

[vapid smelt]

and a hdd

[unreal thorn]

And an American

[near nymph]

Only 2 countries have true Visa Free access to the USA. Canada is one of the countries...

I should probably get NEXUS so I can go thru TSA PreCheck.

[unreal thorn]

The other is mexico obviously

[near nymph]

Nope it isn't

[unreal thorn]

Americans love Mexico

[vapid smelt]

mmmm food

[lilac sage]

no they actually hate mexico

they love cancun

and only cancun

[unreal thorn]

They're always talking about building a wall to keep the Americans out

To protect Mexico

[vapid smelt]

but hey have beautiful women and great food!

[unreal thorn]

And short men

Who can be in the sun without getting set on fire

[near nymph]

Its one of the islands that get British passports... I forgot the name... Gets true Visa Free access and doesn't need a student visa to study in the USA...

[lilac sage]

bahamas?

or bermuda?

[vapid smelt]

united kingdom

[lilac sage]

hong kong

too many former british islands

Daytona's song is honestly hype

almost sounds like a YTP parody song that ppl put together with random sounds from other media

[tidal glade]

why are people talking so much about daytona USA on the sega saturn

[lilac sage]

someone mentioned daytona beach

[tidal glade]

what brought this madness about

[lilac sage]

i mostly brought it up cuz the song is fucking great

[tidal glade]

it's like the third time i've seen it today

i guess that CD quality audio really paid dividends

[near nymph]

Yes

[lilac sage]

hmm i guess someone did mention it yesterday

[near nymph]

Bermuda is the other country that is Visa Free

Any ThinkPaders in chat? Should I update any of the "voluntarily" updates? #tech-chat-2

if given the chance would any of you guys hug linus?

i wouldin a heartbeat

but sadly i will never get that chance ):

[summer folio]

Did he just leave after this message?
Very sad.

[manic torrent]

most likely not....

[summer folio]

Same, he looks "boney". Luke on the other hand.

[slate tulip]

no? I've never met the guy. Like, if we grabbed a few drinks, hung out, built a friendship? Sure, I don't mind hugging my friends

but not like, "Hey, I just met you and this is crazy - but I'm giving you a hug because I am creepy"

be careful of building parasocial relationships - you might watch someone's content and feel like you are building a connection with them, but they don't even know your name, or who you are

[summer folio]

Better that way honestly. Content Creators online, atleast streamers, takes too much of your time to support as a "active viewer".

[slate tulip]

yeah, I never got into sportsball or video game streaming

[summer folio]

I mean small streamers that is,
that notice when you don't show up.

[slate tulip]

I'd rather do both of those things myself than do nothing while I watch someone else do them

I support friends who stream, but that's mostly to be a good friend - I still don't necessarily find the medium or the content terribly engaging

I watch some limited youtube things - formats that make sense to be on video, like clips from movies, sketches like Kee and Peel, or songs. A lot of tech or game related things could honestly just be a wiki page. Like, when I'm playing a minecraft mod, 90% of the time, the only documentation on a function or feature is 15 seconds buried in some obscure let's play, and it could have just been a single sentence in a wiki page

you don't need a video to tell someone "oh, the side of the cube with the red border is the input for power" or something, and certainly not a 30+ minute video

[full fossil]

there is a reason they don't sell Ryzen CPU Pillows

[slate tulip]

Because Intel can manufacture some fluffy pillow internals and use the slogan "Intel Inside™️" on their pillows and AMD can't?

[summer folio]

Yes, I watch LTT for entertainment.
Not as serious tech media.
Reads Sweclockers.com for that(Swedish).

[slate tulip]

I've seen one or two LTT videos when they were relevant to something, they were pretty good for what it was. Just not how I prefer to learn tech I guess

[summer folio]

Well, for example, the 240hz vs 60hz vd 144hz for csgo player performance I watched for the data... But I scrolled threw the video to find the stats page with numbers.

If I understand "lab" project correctly, it's main purpose is to provide actual useful data.

Compared to Standard LTT videos which is mainly for entertainment, like they tested lots of hdmi cables, but barely provided any usefull information about cables.

There never is any data column in video description which states the measured numbers for what the video is about for example rn.

[wanton glade]

yo what

[slate tulip]

If they made the stuff inside the pillows, then they can put “Intel Inside” on the pillowcase

[vapid smelt]

because it wouldn't keep you warm at night

[wanton glade]

[eager venture]

is there any company that makes this but cheaper? https://www.amazon.com/Govee-Multicolor-Customizable-Streaming-Assistant/dp/B09GM8D5X6/?

[wanton glade]

at least they don't consume as much as intel

[summer folio]

Hugs bulldozer pillow 😌

[slate tulip]

Finally got both of my top-of-rack switches configured and re-racked

Just need to find a server i can pull a 10GbE NIC out of and get my gameserver back online

Hopefully 2Gb/s upload will be enough for game server hosting 😛

[vapid smelt]

that was the joke

[vapid smelt]

come to utah we have 10 Gbps symmetrical uncapped plans

[slate tulip]

I have both family and friends who are already telling me to move to SLC 😛

I don’t know that I will, but if you are close to SLC, I’d be happy to grab a drink next time I’m in the area

My ISP offers 5Gb/s, but it’s so much more it’s not worth it atm

[full fossil]

i just might OwO

what and where is utah?

[vapid smelt]

to the right of Nevada

[full fossil]

oh OwO

[vapid smelt]

you should have in 2017 your house would've quadrupled in value 😛

[full fossil]

do i need a work visa to work in usa remotely? OwO

[valid siren]

now you just need $2000 to have someone wire your home with cat8 ethernet to actually take advantage of the speed.

[vapid smelt]

Then another $300 for the router and network card for my pc

[valid siren]

yeah hardware for 10 gig ethernet isn't cheap

[slate tulip]

As if i could have afforded a house in 2017

[slate tulip]

Nah, I’m doing it with Cat6, Fiber, and MikroTiks

[vapid smelt]

back in 2017 you could get a house just outside of slc for 130k

[valid siren]

add another $1000 for fiber.

[slate tulip]

Granted, the firewall/router alone was almost $1000…

[slate tulip]

Nah, Fiber is cheap tbh

[vapid smelt]

the cost of most people pc

[full fossil]

130k??? OwO avg house in my country is 40k lol

[slate tulip]

Fiber cables meter for meter are cheaper than DACs until you factor in the cost of the SFP(+) modules

Luckily I managed to source some for free

[slate tulip]

True 😆

[vapid smelt]

what building did you steal it from?

[slate tulip]

But most people’s PCs aren’t rack-mountable half-depth, or can route router 10Gb/s

[slate tulip]

I plead the 3rd

[vapid smelt]

you mean the 5th?

[valid siren]

No, 3rd. Gorian does not have to allow the army to sleep on their server rack.

[unkempt widget]

wow

i subbed this morning, how has sub role still not kicked in

it was like 5 hours since i subbed

do i ping mods? idk what to do

No! The 3rd - now get off of my lawn!

have you tried the old and tested disconnect-reconnect accounts?

have you tried turning it off and on again?

[amber cairn]

if it works it works right

[vapid smelt]

have you tried bribing the mods?

haha, the financials of sorting out home interconnects are insane. I'm helping a friend at the moment, and there's many ways to do it, but there's always a lynchpin expensive bit!

[unkempt widget]

what are the chances it works

nvm apparently none

[slate tulip]

Yup. Sadly. 10GbE just isn’t consumer ready yet

[vapid smelt]

0-100

[slate tulip]

I’m looking MikroTik though

[valid siren]

50%, plus or minus 50%.

[slate tulip]

Considering replacing some aged and well-worn hardware in my homelab. Would be roughly $900 worth of mikrotik to replace 3 switches

$480 for a 24-port SFP+ switch - a great price

[vapid smelt]

oh i thought you stole them from work

And a modern one too, I just have a 56k modem in a drawer.

[slate tulip]

Blazing fast! You don’t have to attach the phone anymore?!

[valid siren]

yeah I do, I hook up my phone to ethernet.

ok no actually I don't but you can

[slate tulip]

The idea of having all MikroTiks is appealing, but also expensive, and there’s value in learning to configure other switches

[full fossil]

It hasn’t come yet

[vapid smelt]

'

[full fossil]

Ik

[dreamy rose]

Disgusting, truly the worst way to list the date.

[full fossil]

The image was taken abt a week ago

[full fossil]

Your package is being inspected by Canada forces ⛄

[slate tulip]

ISO 8601 FTW

[dreamy rose]

when will they release 1670?

[vapid smelt]

small to big

[manic pebble]

Scamazon said my package was supposed to arrive yesterday but was delivered the day before. Didn't even hear them. So it was out on the steps all night and someone took it. Rude.

[dreamy rose]

D/M/Y. anything else is a sin. unless its Y/M/D for Archival.

[full fossil]

cant wait for RX 8000 series this yea :V

[dreamy rose]

i'm intrested in RX 880m.

[full fossil]

880 meters?

[dreamy rose]

RX 880 Mobile. iGPU.

[full fossil]

why are u interested in that thing?

[manic pebble]

if they take a photo of the package delivered does Amazon consider themselves absolved of any responsibility?

[dreamy rose]

because poor

[full fossil]

awww :[

[dreamy rose]

also, Radeon cool

[vapid smelt]

did it get stolen?

[manic torrent]

I have a camera on the front door

[manic pebble]

well unless the package became sentient, yes.

[manic torrent]

So I can see any packages

[dreamy rose]

say what you want about AMD. but the MX series is fucking pointless.

[full fossil]

what about the back door?

[dreamy rose]

given that this is australia that is probably a good idea too

[full fossil]

could be worse, could be france :V

[manic torrent]

.... Which is entirely fenced?

[full fossil]

i bet i could jump that

[dreamy rose]

are you a Rabbit? or a cat

[full fossil]

[wanton glade]

he's a frog

[manic pebble]

Hope their disappointment was immeasurable seeing only a chinesium latching switch and a server cpu cooler

[vapid smelt]

bet i could jump you

[manic torrent]

You couldn't, because on one side it's the garage, and the other side there's a water tank.

[dreamy rose]

nah. not possible

[full fossil]

hush spider >:[

[wanton glade]

I'mma cut you in half bruv 🕷️ 🔪

[manic torrent]

I mean you can climb over

[dreamy rose]

bet i could come up in yo crib.

[wanton glade]

alr bet

bring yo ass here homie

[manic torrent]

The dog would attack

[fossil frost]

amazon also send you an email and/or an app notification exactly as your package is delivered too

[manic pebble]

I just don't like how they told me Saturday and the last time I checked it was still slated for that day then they bring it a day early,

[full fossil]

lmao xD so cute

[wanton glade]

no he obviously won't

[manic torrent]

They sure do

[wanton glade]

'sup Doge

[dreamy rose]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

[manic torrent]

He would if you had any food

[fossil frost]

he doesnt look like he could attack a sandwich 🙂

[wanton glade]

Skull issue 💀

[wanton glade]

Good. I do

[manic pebble]

is the shipment notification by sms?

[wanton glade]

he doesn't look like he could attack a bread loaf

[manic torrent]

Bet

[fossil frost]

you can turn that on on the amazon website yes, otherwise its by email and push notification to the app

[vapid smelt]

someone say food?!

[wanton glade]

doge

[fossil frost]

have you just given him a sandwich right now just to take that photo? 😄

[wanton glade]

get a life goofy penguin

[manic torrent]

Nah the little fucker stole it

[dreamy rose]

whos hot cross buns on your couch

[wanton glade]

[manic torrent]

What an odd question

[wanton glade]

doge

doge vs dawg

[fossil frost]

he has a look of someone who just walked over, casually picked it up, and his face seems to say "fuck you, this is mine"

[full fossil]

so adorable TwT

[dreamy rose]

doge vs dodge vs dawg vs doggo

[wanton glade]

he's an alpha male that's why

[vapid smelt]

no such thing

[wanton glade]

dodge. They make good cars

[wanton glade]

ikr

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-spit-take-cracking-up-haha-so-funny-omg-gif-17921247

[dreamy rose]

[lilac sage]

just dodge

[wanton glade]

too bad

i know nothing about cars, just wanted to mention the car company

[fossil frost]

i made somebody do that at a conference last week, he spat vodka all over our (female, and very good looking) CFO... 😄

[manic torrent]

He's old, partly blind, partly deaf, partly smell-blind, a bit slow, but he is still basically all muscle. And very strong willed.

[wanton glade]

is there a server similar to this one where I can discuss about cars ?

[dreamy rose]

bangre cars in teh 60's/70's

[full fossil]

metal box with wheels :V

[wanton glade]

noice

[wanton glade]

oh ok

[dreamy rose]

talk to nick heavy. likes cars

[wanton glade]

Bro why the hell are you called "BionicSeaSerpent" ?

[vapid smelt]

i prefer fiber glass box with wheels

[wanton glade]

oh ok

[fossil frost]

so, if he was a person, he would be the old man at the pub who practically lives there, and makes mildly inappropriate comments to people? but he gets away with it "because hes old" 😄

[dreamy rose]

thats. what i am?

[wanton glade]

oh shit I almost pinged staff

💀

[manic torrent]

Haha, yep for sure.

[full fossil]

carbon fiber is 100 times better :V

[dreamy rose]

obviously when he is around

[wanton glade]

Nah but fr, why did you choose this username ? Any specific backstory ?

[lilac sage]

most active LMG employee i nthis server

2nd is jake

[vapid smelt]

lucky dog

[wanton glade]

if I didn't notice his pfp i'd be fucked rn

[wanton glade]

never saw him tho :(

[lilac sage]

ur not here enough

[dreamy rose]

i'm a Bionic Sea Serpent. doesn't need more explanation.

[manic torrent]

If you were in floatplane chat you'd see him

But you are full pleb

[wanton glade]

you tryna hit on her don't you

[fossil frost]

he thought he was going to get fired, the CFO found it hilarious, and i could barely breath from laughing

[wanton glade]

skill issue ig

[wanton glade]

ok lmao

[fossil frost]

i was talking to her, and some other guy, and he laughed after i said something and he spat his drink on her

[wanton glade]

Oh ok. Well Eye Am Sharp.

[wanton glade]

so you do be trying to hit on her

aren't you 💀

[fossil frost]

no, but he was...

[wanton glade]

oh damn even worse

[full fossil]

why didn't they try to make floatplane p2p, so when someone watches a stream, they would relay it to someone else too, thus reducing network traffic by 90% OwO

[manic torrent]

Looooool.

[fossil frost]

because many people have tried, and its a shit way of running a video platform

[full fossil]

what, it works, browsers can do that now 😭

[wanton glade]

skull issue am i right

[dreamy rose]

how do you sharpen eye? only went blind when i tried

[manic torrent]

Dude. I know. I built a videoconferencing system based on Jira.

[wanton glade]

dw about it homie

[full fossil]

it wouldn't change anything tho, everything would be the same, same experience, just different system OwO

[wanton glade]

it's a trade secret

[slate tulip]

why Jira?

[full fossil]

i haven't yet, but i see the tools available, and i dont see why its not more popular 😭

[fossil frost]

and when somebody decides "im done watching this video", and just cuts off, and whoever was streaming from them has to suddenly find someone else to stream from... or if a person decides "wait, im paying for this platform, why are they using my bandwidth for free when i have to pay for it"

[dreamy rose]

yk what else is a Trade secret?

[manic torrent]

This is because you don't understand how it works

[wanton glade]

what is ?

[manic torrent]

Lol wrong name... Errr... Shit. I forget the name, but open source vc

[dreamy rose]

the Ability to run MS-DOS Software on a Modern PC.

[fossil frost]

git?

[full fossil]

first problem is ez to solve, cuz no one would get rid of servers completely, and second is that it could cost barely anything or free OwO cuz hosting would be super cheap

[manic torrent]

Jitsi.

[slate tulip]

ah, okay

[manic torrent]

But with config and setup aimed primarily at music lessons and stuff. Low latency high audio quality

Also, you can't disable noise cancellation on iOS from the browser. It's possible, they just don't allow it.

[full fossil]

how so? i dont see any coding challenges here, i can easily fetch video/website from normal servers and have a buffering system with webrtc to find someone closes to you who can seed

[wanton glade]

pretty sure my dad knows how, so it's fine

he knows some dark shit

[jaunty compass]

Just run dosbox

💀

[dreamy rose]

its a joke because FreeDOS is Open Source. no secrets.

[dreamy rose]

Fuck DOSBox. FreeDOS better

[jaunty compass]

Ah yes
I'll just boot my PC into DOS mode
I totally have nothing I need windows or a modern OS to do

[dreamy rose]

USB

and if you want DOS you're not gonna be happy with just a VM

[jaunty compass]

no idea how just saying USB is an answer to what I said but okay

[jaunty compass]

And.....no? That's not how it works

[dreamy rose]

because you can use it over USB

[jaunty compass]

Idk how that's relevant though

You still have to boot into dos

[dreamy rose]

And? it doesnt cause a problem.

[jaunty compass]

Most people using dos are using it to play an old game from their childhood at this point, and for that a VM is more than fine

So idk what your point is here

[wanton glade]

oh my bad yo

[dreamy rose]

hell FreeDOS runs on DOS hardware anyway.

[manic torrent]

Webrtc doesn't work like that, and you'd have to write a whole system to manage who's who, also you can't rely on their network, so you could only use it to try and download things relatively far ahead in the timeline.... Basically by the time you made it work, you're months of a dev team in the hole (and good devs because this is hard shit) and you have a fucking tiny gain in effeciency.... And a corresponding drop in user satisfaction

[fossil frost]

VM is more than fine, also, im pretty sure there is a website that runs DOS that is written in JS and is a fully functional OS within the browser

[dreamy rose]

if they are going back cause of memories, they'd want something more like the original experience. not just Software.

[manic torrent]

Bullshit.

[jaunty compass]

I know VMs are more than fine, but this other guy is arguing that "VMs bad"

[fossil frost]

all of which could be summarised with "people much smarter than us, with much bigger budgets than us, and much more understanding of this than us, whos job it is is to come up with things like this, have failed, and have failed for a reason" 😄

[manic torrent]

Because BSS is pants on head insane.

[fossil frost]

yeah, was backing up your point rather than arguing 🙂

[jaunty compass]

Oh they're insane? That checks out

[dreamy rose]

you can buy the Computer for Cheap. or you can boot FreeDOS on a cheap laptop for free.

[manic torrent]

Yes 🙂 - I mean I literally get paid to tell people their ideas are stupid and why

[dreamy rose]

i said FreeDOS Better. not VM Bad

[fossil frost]

you know whats even cheaper than that qemu

[jaunty compass]

You said "fuck DOSBox"
And then "and if you want DOS you're not gonna be happy with just a VM"

[manic torrent]

You can literally run dos in a browser. Plenty of old games you can search and have them in 30 seconds.

[jaunty compass]

So yes, you basically did say VM bad

It's 2:45 in the morning I need some fucking sleep 💀

[dreamy rose]

you should. so maybe you can understand Why FreeDOS is a thing once you wake up.

[jaunty compass]

Piss off

[full fossil]

i think it would work better than u think, cuz u could find multiple seeders, just like normal torrents, i think it would reduce traffic at least by 90% OwO
and about the dev team, meh, give me food and a month, ill do it for free XD
actually, maybe if someone made a easy to use open source project for everyone, that wouldn't require much work to use 🤔

[fossil frost]

because somebody was bored and built it as a end of year project to pass a CS degree

[manic torrent]

If you think that, you don't understand the problem

[jaunty compass]

Floatplane more like
Crashed plane

[fossil frost]

people have tried to implement streaming on top of bittorrent, thats why web seeds are a thing... goes what doesnt work, almost at all... streaming from bittorrent 🙂

[full fossil]

the idea is not the problem, if the dev team or some external factors are, its their problem xD

[manic torrent]

Not to mention, now your video player takes up 300mb ram for the ja torrent client

[dreamy rose]

"make it an Open Source project for everyone" would solve the majority of shit software out there.

[jaunty compass]

Not much worse than a normal web browser

Actually

That's like half the ram my web browser usually takes I think

[manic torrent]

300mb more

[jaunty compass]

Oh

Well I still have plenty lol

[manic torrent]

And now your customers are shitty because you're using their bandwidth

[fossil frost]

incorrect... making large commercial, previously closed, projects open source generally doesnt do anything to improve the project/product, all it does is get the company that did it, some good will... in general, nobody dives into the source of large scale open projects, only the odd person here and there will look at small parts of it

[dreamy rose]

you telling us you Singletask on a Web browser?

[jaunty compass]

That reminds me

You know how much ram my grandmother's laptop has

[polar flume]

i did my first solo in that bird

[jaunty compass]

No, I just use firefox

[dreamy rose]

i'll do you one better and guess its a Compaq

[jaunty compass]

[jaunty compass]

You're incorrect

[wanton glade]

yo wtf is going on here

[jaunty compass]

64 gigs
Her laptop has 64 gigs of ram and a xeon

[dreamy rose]

Preposterous. Every laptop is Compaqt

[jaunty compass]

Idk why she needs 64 gigs of ram in a laptop

Or to begin with really

[dreamy rose]

VR Granny

[jaunty compass]

She had me build her two Ryzen 7 home servers with 32 gigs of ram each and refused to elaborate

[dreamy rose]

wait for a problem. then you'll have some stuff to speculate on

[jaunty compass]

She also has 16 terabytes of hard drive storage in each.
I know one is a big donger Plex server but idk what the other one is for

[full fossil]

well, i have better ideas how to make it work xD like caching some videos locally and streaming them even if ur watching different video, and maybe give rewards for people or something so people wouldn't feel like they are being used lol (also make it an optional feature, i think 80% would use it) also auto disable feature on mobile networks lol
also it would never be 100% only seeders, it would always have fallback network,
ill make an example website, it will work! >:3

[dreamy rose]

backup server?

[wanton glade]

yo guys, thoughts on the razer laptop ?

[full fossil]

Im pretty sure you are gonna get stabbed 1331 times and most likely die whenever you hug it

[wanton glade]

Razer blade 15 my butt

[fossil frost]

so now not only are you stealing your customers bandwidth, you are stealing their storage space too? and relying on something outside of your control to provide a service?

[dreamy rose]

any AMD Advantage Options?

[jaunty compass]

Just make users agree to cookies and it will all be fine

[full fossil]

its not stealing xD it would be optional, and maybe people who choose to use that could get floatplane for 50% off or something, or even for free :V

[wanton glade]

heck is that

[dreamy rose]

thats all it comes down to in the end. accept cookies or make your browser commit fucking die

[dreamy rose]

AMD CPU and GPU

[fossil frost]

if you think it will work, feel free to try and build it, come back to me and HWB in a few years so we can say "told you so"

[dreamy rose]

and its really the only way you are gonna get a combo that really works well together because Intel's graphics aren't competitive and Intel Rely on Nvidia anyway. where as Advantage is just all AMD.

[wanton glade]

I don't think so, I recall it's team green/blue

[unkempt widget]

why does sub still not kick in

you know what i'm pinging mods

[dreamy rose]

i mean of course it is. their Utters get sucked all the time buy SIs and Laptop manufacturers. AMD gets thrown to the side for the "Few" regardless of their beter products,

[wanton glade]

Yeah ik

Amd W

Less power for same performance

<@&750150305383186585> Hello. I subbed to Linus on twitch about 10 hours ago, yet I still do not have the role. I would attach a screenshot, but your perms won't allow me.

also hdr looks so much better

[fossil frost]

is your twitch account linked to your discord account?

[unkempt widget]

i can't believe i missed hdr in the settings

[dreamy rose]

better iGPUs too. fuck the MX Chips. pointless crap

[unkempt widget]

yes, i even unlinked and relinked

[fossil frost]

odd, it was instant for me :S

[valid siren]

RDNA2 iGPU + DDR5 = beats mobile 1650's.

[unkempt widget]

yeah every other server is instant for me as well

[dreamy rose]

not exactly but hey its close.

[unkempt widget]

wait i'm supposed to sub to linustech right

(istg if it's not linustech)

[valid siren]

give him $5 a month on floatplane.

[dreamy rose]

RDNA 3 however. thats gonna be a 1080.

i guess

[unkempt widget]

i'm using my prime sub

[valid siren]

oh, ok.

[full fossil]

oh it would work xD 100%,
but i have even better idea >:3 a system inspired by tor, and sovereignty meaning. on which i will primary focusing :V
where basically every person is piece of internet, it will be more private than tor and much much faster, servers will still exist ofc, but there wont be a different between server and user, that will be a fun project >:3

[primal jay]

Hello im new

[valid siren]

Hi new I'm dad

[primal jay]

Im a big fan of linus

[primal jay]

But his new videos are worse than old ones

Like 2 3 years ago

[full fossil]

i like his new videos :V

[primal jay]

😔

[valid siren]

ngl I haven't really watched many of his videos in the last couple of years

[timid meadow]

Super subjective. Most of the changes he makes make the videos better, regardless of what individuals may think

[full fossil]

u missed few videos

[valid siren]

ah really? dang thought he ceased to exist

[full fossil]

lol

[valid siren]

does he still think that the U12S is a viable purchase?

[primal jay]

Well I really like the cheapest new parts pc video

Like the athlon

300g

[valid siren]

Didn't he pair the athlon 3000G with single-channel RAM?

[primal jay]

Gt210 😂

[valid siren]

oh that's even worse.

[primal jay]

Yes

[valid siren]

The 3000G's iGPU is way faster than the GT 210

[dreamy rose]

mmm yummy

[primal jay]

Yeah

[valid siren]

rip 30% of your performance and all of your frametime consistency then

[primal jay]

Also one extra fan header

Not any more

Just one

The motherboard is so bad

[sonic spruce]

Hello

[sonic spruce]

Funny

[wanton glade]

tf

[dreamy rose]

look it up. its a little mean but its hella funny

[sonic spruce]

So ummm

Just to make sure, it’s pointless to get a 2.5 gigabit eithernet card if my Wi-Fi is 100mbps?

[dire roost]

yes

[manic torrent]

Good news, you don't get smarter

[sonic spruce]

https://youtu.be/09Gfo5B0z50

[sonic spruce]

HOW IS it better?

[dire roost]

maybe for an upgrade to fiber itll be okay but i doubt you'll get anything above 1gb

[sonic spruce]

I don’t even have gigabit, why would getting it be a good upgrade???

[dire roost]

read what i am saying before you respond

[sonic spruce]

I pay $10 usd for 100mbps of Wi-Fi, I don’t see how 2.5 gigabit card will be better

[dire roost]

again, read

[sonic spruce]

Elaborate further on what you mean by fiber

I use Ethernet cat5 or 6 cables

[full fossil]

maybe optic fiber OwO

[dire roost]

fiber is just better internet

[sonic spruce]

Oh ok

Wait fiber optic =/= Ethernet?

[dire roost]

fiber optic is the connection to your house

[full fossil]

one is glass, one is copper

[sonic spruce]

I see

[dire roost]

if you have fiber optic u can get higher speeds like 1gb

so again, if you are looking to upgrade to fiber anytime soon then it'll be useful but otherwhise its just a waste of money

regardless im sure your mobo has a 1gb ethernet port

[sonic spruce]

It does

[dire roost]

just use that then

[sonic spruce]

Probably not soon

[sonic spruce]

Ok so I was right the first time

[dire roost]

yea

[dreamy rose]

we need fiber to node over here. or we already have it just it hasnt helped any

[dire roost]

pain

i have fiber at both my moms and my dads but my mom still only pays for 200mbps which is ass

[dreamy rose]

i'm stuck with 50

like 70 bucks. Australia is fucked

[sonic spruce]

70 usd or Australian?

[dreamy rose]

Aus

[sonic spruce]

Ok

[dire roost]

jesus

[sonic spruce]

THATS 1 mbps per usd!!!!!

[sonic spruce]

Well how much does it cost?

[dire roost]

what THAT is is a scam

[dire roost]

like 60 with big tv package included

[manic torrent]

I have unlimited 100/40 and it's about $110/mo

[burnt bone]

If you're only concerned with getting internet service, if your ISP only offers 100Mbit internet then it's not much worth it to go 2.5Gbit Ethernet.

But if you have 2.5Gbit Ethernet and a fast enough network switch, you can set up a NAS and get fast access to it

[dreamy rose]

we are Australian we get Shafted hard with the internet

[sonic spruce]

I pay $10 for 100mbps + phone

[dire roost]

im pretty sure you get shafted on more than just that, tho i must admit im not up to date with the current political climate in the land down under

[sonic spruce]

Tv we use a satalite for $40 on eBay or something

And a computer using Wi-Fi

[dreamy rose]

everything here is all kinds of fucked.

yk i would love to run Ethernet but we have Concrete walls.

[burnt bone]

Lol I've been to Perth once, fantastic place but the internet is hella horrible.

I could only use IRC because it used the least amount of data. Netflix was forgettable.

Ever since then I've been very interested in extreme data and media compression, super tiny executable computer programs and such.

Hence why I say you should use Alpine Linux if you're in Perth. Not because your computer is weak but the internet is so slow that you need space efficient programs.

It'll probably take a decade to download Ubuntu.

[dire roost]

Australia's just still on dial up internet

[unkempt widget]

💀

[full fossil]

i pay 16 for crappy 1tb/month + phone :[

[dreamy rose]

it takes like 10-15 minutes to download it in Melbourne at 50MBPS and having 4 ppl using it

but thing is i download things on an Acer Travelmate 5760G and well,

slow shit even with an SSD.

[burnt bone]

Ooof

[orchid kestrel]

i have 24.4 MBPS download at NE VIC
somehow i live with like 1 hour downloads for games
once my friend had a 4 hour game download

[dreamy rose]

only like GTA 5 takes multiple hours for me thankfully

[unkempt widget]

my vpn couldn't move past 25mbit/s so i sometimes have to download games overnight

[orchid kestrel]

how big is that?

hey guys, apart from playlist Linus New Home is there somewhere some list of things he has included or planned for his new home, home-automation wise?
My brother in law is currently during construction, and he will be doing electrical work soon, so i wanted to get some inspiration, or "steal" ideas from Linus of what he might need to do before all the other layers come up on the walls.

[orchid kestrel]

damn
RIP my 500GB
hence why im planning on getting a 1 or 2TB SSD or SATA SSD later on...

[orchid kestrel]

who cares if the walls go up
you can always use a sledge hammer to bring them down >:)

[teal hornet]

wallet does not like that solution, also mental debt for prolonging construction time. Damn it is heavy

[dreamy rose]

i have a 1tb Seagate/Samsung HDD i pulled from my mums External hard drive. shes got literally nothing on it and i've used it for Ventoy.

[dull granite]

nothing can be invented anymore because thermaltake did it first

[timid meadow]

Not sure about linus specifically, but if i had my walls open id be running some kind of conduit or something to each room that way i can run additional cables later 🧠

[dreamy rose]

and really replacing my Shitty 500GB WD Blue that limited to 80MB/s to the 100MB/s 1tb drive, the difference feels small but it helps.

[orchid kestrel]

Lower chair heating by transfering the heat from the back area of the chair and vice versa?
it isnt a bad idea

idk if the P5 Plus would count as good
slower than usual write
but blazing fast read
i guess for gaming you mainly are launching games

[dreamy rose]

i sure wish i could game.

fucking GT 540M. 1GB of DDR3. cant do anything about that

[orchid kestrel]

you can
turn off your internet and open google chrome

[bold eagle]

speaking of tt, they sent my pc back (after an rma) with no thermal paste on the cpu, completely bone dry, was so amazed they managed to fluke that

[dreamy rose]

can swap anything else but the GPU and its shitty amount of VRAM

[dull granite]

wait they make pre-builds?

[bold eagle]

yeah

[dull granite]

i mean thermaltake does make everything

[bold eagle]

theyre called like lcgs

[dreamy rose]

i have a Socketed CPU. 2 SODIMM Slots and a SATA and CD SATA port.

[bold eagle]

i bought one because i dont have time to build one again, but i had to send it back cuz faulty ram slot then when i got it back, i was running it without thermal paste for like a day and my pc kept freezing, but i checked my temps and they were hitting 100c so i took off the aio and they put nothing on it, it wasnt even screwed on all the way

i wanna like call and complain but is it even worthit

also, hate to bother, but im a chronic overthinker, and ever since my rma ive been nit picking about my pc issues, is texture and shadow popping normal in all games? i didnt notice it before on my old pc in these same games, it just seems wrong for some reason

i made a support post about it if youd like to look at it, just really worried its a hardware issue

Embed fail

[bold eagle]

sponge man ice cone

[burnt bone]

Every time i try to embed something here it doesn't work. So i just resort to text art

[unkempt widget]

epic embed fail

[dreamy rose]

buy server boost

[burnt bone]

Oh

So its not an embed fail it's just a feature

[dreamy rose]

a reason to get you to pay the server

[manic torrent]

It isn't.

It's to stop idiots spamming

Much like the something awful payment back in the day

[burnt bone]

That's fine ig

[full fossil]

oh look, star princess is back xP

[unkempt widget]

what

[full fossil]

(you)

[unkempt widget]

ik

am i not justified to say "what" to that

[full fossil]

UwU

[unkempt widget]

OwO

lol

[dire roost]

what has this server become

[unkempt widget]

your mom

[twilit bough]

Hey guys I may have been stupid and got a shock from a fan capacitor when it was unplugged, will I be ok? 😅

[full fossil]

you have 24h to live

[twilit bough]

Damn

I’m just sorta scared lmao

[full fossil]

ofc u will be ok xD

[twilit bough]

It was like a ceiling fan capacitor for speed control

And I felt a big jolt up my arms

I’m prob just being dramatic

[full fossil]

i would be more worried about ur pc xD

[full fossil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ajBcHUGLmQ

[twilit bough]

It’s not my pc

It was a ceiling fan switch

[full fossil]

oh right, i read it wrong xP

[twilit bough]

That was detached but apparently still charged

[full fossil]

if u are ok now, u will be ok xD just be more careful next time

if it was serious, u would have a burn on ur finger or something

[twilit bough]

I don’t think I do

[full fossil]

good xP

[twilit bough]

I’m just paranoid lmao

Every time i think I’ve fucked up but aren’t sure I ask this server lmao

Thanks for your help

[muted lynx]

Whats the current/voltage

If it does go bad it can make ur blood clot and u die

[full fossil]

it wont, omg xD stop scaring the poor guy,
for that to happen his finger would be piece of charcoal

[muted lynx]

Nah most likely it wont, but you should always check with a doctor when uve been in contact

Thats our recommendations here atleats😄

[twilit bough]

Lemme find the model

[full fossil]

i could stick my fork to wall outlet and survive :V

[twilit bough]

cbb61 I think that’s the model

[muted lynx]

Go right ahead

[slate tulip]

2:30am and I finally replaced an old netgear smart switch and 2 PoE injectors with a single MikroTik PoE switch

[muted lynx]

If it went in both his arms, most likely passed his heart which can fuck it up a lot

[slate tulip]

PoE is neat

[twilit bough]

Oof

Am I gonna die lol

[full fossil]

but it didnt! >:[ if it fuck it up, he would be dead by now, ur more paranoid than him

[twilit bough]

It was just I jolt then I was fine so idk

[dreamy rose]

do you feel your heart Stopping?

[twilit bough]

No not that I can tell

It was like half an hour ago

[full fossil]

no, internet full of crazy people, every answer u will get from is death and cancers, i dont recommend asking anything :V

[dreamy rose]

didnt rule out the possibility you are Undead.

[twilit bough]

Im talking about long term effects

[dreamy rose]

you might be able to shock your friends for a little while

[twilit bough]

Ok lol

[hushed drum]

does anyone here have call of duty black ops 3 on steam?

[full fossil]

there are no such things :V
electricity heats up things and can cause muscles to move,
if ur not burned and alive, there are no effects

[twilit bough]

Ok I just need to calm down

[full fossil]

good

[twilit bough]

Thx

[signal mountain]

What are some good old games/programs that are totally under 360KB in size?

Because I just realized that my floppies are the older kind with only 360kb of storage

[cosmic coyote]

oh damn so its not the 1.44mb ones

[signal mountain]

Nope. its double density 5.25" disks, with 360kb of storage :/

[cosmic coyote]

yea I actually have no idea

[signal mountain]

Dang, because I was looking for some self contained programs that can fit onto one of em

[full fossil]

tetris is ur best bet i think xD

[muted lynx]

Do you have any clue what ur speaking about

If insure, always check ur heart rhytm

Ekg

[full fossil]

cuz of some small capacitor?

[cosmic coyote]

is abandonware ToS?

[muted lynx]

You dont know shit

[full fossil]

🙄

[cosmic coyote]

can i dm you

yea i dont know about software but there are some games that will fit from myabandonware

[keen edge]

Pls

[small zephyr]

Uhm I can't login into my PC windows 11 won't let me type anything into the pin window

[full fossil]

do u have a keyboard?

[small zephyr]

Only key it accepts is enter key....

Of course I have an keyboard what else should I have?

[full fossil]

maybe ur num lock is off, i think it only accepts numbers, no? (i dont use windows lol)

[small zephyr]

I have a ten keyless

I have a 61 keys board

Wow I know what went wrong.... Windows put it into caps after turning it on and my keyboard won't show me if it's active or not

But why did it put on screen keyboard on caps as well fucking weird

[full fossil]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[small zephyr]

Windows is weird sometimes

We'll still better as Linux where it sometimes just randomly breaks and need to be set up again

[full fossil]

what did u say about linux? >:[

🔪

[dreamy rose]

mmm. no.

[white fractal]

I have never had a Linux install “randomly break”.

[unkempt widget]

hello everyone

i'm typing on my new keyboard

it's a lot softer, i'm gonna have to get used to the sound

[signal mountain]

oh yea that'd be neat, please dm me, and im using a dos pc

[signal mountain]

Is there a tetris for ms dos though? would be rad, unironically lol

[unkempt widget]

why is it that twitch sub still doesn't kick in

[white fractal]

There is the original Tetris which was for dos

[signal mountain]

Ohh lemme look it up

[white fractal]

I don’t remember if it fit on a 360Kb floppy though

[unkempt widget]

where are the mods

i need the mods so i can start flexing on people with gifs

[signal mountain]

I found it and its only 106kbs! so i could easily fit even 3 of them onto a single old floppy, awesome

[white fractal]

Sweet :)

[full fossil]

lol

[unkempt widget]

how do you even store anything with 106kb

[white fractal]

Man, I used to play that version of Tetris for hours

[full fossil]

nice xD

[signal mountain]

I mean there's a whole flight simulator which is about 120kb, or a roguelike game which is 10kb

[cosmic coyote]

Your pp size

[signal mountain]

back then, things used to be optimized

[signal mountain]

I have a 5.25" floppy /s

[unkempt widget]

tell that to rockstar lmao

[unkempt widget]

:((((

[full fossil]

u could store million variables with that much :V

[signal mountain]

Modern games, lol, one texture used for a piece of an item would be 1gb

remember cod's 100gb patch? lol

[unkempt widget]

wow how do you even remove stickers

[white fractal]

Screen Resolution was also much much smaller back then, so a sprite or background would not take a lot of space. And at the time, it was even “cheaper” in terms of storage to just draw the images instead of storing them

[unkempt widget]

wasn't the first pokemon game 500kb

[full fossil]

can i just buy ddr6 chips and solder it to a dimm stick and make ddr6 ram ahead of time?

[unkempt widget]

my man's living in 2033

actually when would ddr6 come out, prolly before 2028

[signal mountain]

That's true for the 80s, but its surprising how a fully fledged fast paced 3d game can exist in the early 00s/late 90s and barely use a couple gigs

[wind pulsar]

The moon missions guiding computer steered the rocket with 4KB and had a 32KB storage device on it.

[full fossil]

i mean the ddr6 chips were out for a while, but they are only used in gpu's and other crap, why is ram behind? >:[

[unkempt widget]

there's still a lot of games that use less than 5gb

[white fractal]

Dude, there were amazing games even in the early 90’s that had full screen VGA graphics that only took a couple of megs (Wing Commander for example)

[wind pulsar]

Because GDDR6/X is not the same thing as making DDR6 DRAM, lol

[full fossil]

good old c

[signal mountain]

Not games that are graphically intense, and 3d though

[full fossil]

whats the difference? OwO

[signal mountain]

Yea im still surprised how the early 3d games managed to pack so much into so little space

[white fractal]

@signal mountain i remember when I got a 3dfx Voodoo… i thought that was pretty awesome :)

[signal mountain]

full 3d haha, now that was rad

[unkempt widget]

do you consider paradox games to be 3d

[full fossil]

95% of the space is taken up by textures and models :V

[unkempt widget]

they have 3d models, you rarely interact with them

oh shit actually nvm victoria 3 is 8gb

and that game has a lot of models

[wind pulsar]

Have the same core principle, but are optimized to serve entirely different microchips.

I mean, you could also ask yourself the question 'Why do most computers have at best 16 physical cores on their CPU while GPUs have hundreds or thousands of cores?'

[signal mountain]

paradox? I havent heard of them, can you show me? I cant find it on google either

[unkempt widget]

why don't cpus just have 2 bajillion cores

[signal mountain]

True that
