fair enough, i found it years ago with my highschool friend, used to play for hours after school lmao

Where did you steal it?

ah i see thats fair

[manic torrent]

I have it on steam and egs

[unkempt widget]

i prolly have a lot of hours in rocket league now

[full fossil]

did they give any benefits for buyers of the game?

[full fossil]

Egs is the worst acronym xD

[unkempt widget]

wow 0s according to epic

thank you, very cool

[manic torrent]

Uhhhhh .. fucked if I know.

[unkempt widget]

let me check in game and i'll just multiple it by 2.5

[full fossil]

british?

[manic torrent]

Strayan

[unkempt widget]

yesterday i said i had 4 overlays come up when playing rl

[full fossil]

ah i see

[unkempt widget]

well i miscounted and i have 5
the fifth one is discord

[stray apex]

yes
I wanna see them get hit with antitrust

that would be hilarious

[full fossil]

you can see my confusion tho lmao... we both have some similar wacky little sentences that are local to the people

[unkempt widget]

21 hours in game
so that would be about 50 hours
that's quite a long time considering i only had this game for about a month and 2 weeks of it was exam week

not to flex but i got 100% in math 😎

i also got an aerial goal on my first day of playing rocket league 😎

and proceeded to never get another one ever again

[full fossil]

rocket league is one of the most rewarding and soul destroying gamees ever

[unkempt widget]

i'm so rusty after exam week i just went from gold 2 div 4 down to gold 1 div 2

it's very sad

and the worst thing is i lost 3 games in a row with my teammate disconnecting

the worst thing is my teammates are always afk on kickoff and when i go to get corner boost, i just get scored on

[junior herald]

yo

[full fossil]

can you not cancel a game in RL if your down a teammate?

[unkempt widget]

hello

[junior herald]

hi

[unkempt widget]

nope, you even lose mmr

one time i was peaking (i think i got like 6 shots) and the game was drawn 1-1

[full fossil]

stupid

[unkempt widget]

we were about 1:35 into an ot

and then suddenly my teammate dcs

the worst thing is right after that i got a breakaway and missed an open net

and proceeded to get scored on on the next play

[full fossil]

its honestly sad that we cant have systems in place to cancel when this happens

too bad people would just abuse it tho so its understandable

[unkempt widget]

tbh they should at least make it so that if you're down by not any more than 2 points and your teammate disconnects, you don't lose any mmr

or like time based

[full fossil]

siege has a decent system

if your teammate leaves in round 1 you can cancel with no penalising

but after that youre left

[unkempt widget]

also the internet connection is horrible

[full fossil]

i dont really know what a solution could be

[full fossil]

Rocket league problem or you/teammate?

[unkempt widget]

wtf what's ow gotta do with that lmao

[full fossil]

brain died ngl lmao

[unkempt widget]

a lot of times i just hop into a server and it's just "350 ping"

[full fossil]

friend just asked me to play ow so it was in my mind haha

[full fossil]

yikes... sounds like youre being slapped on the wrong servers

[unkempt widget]

nope, i'm playing on the correct server

[full fossil]

or just ddosed servers

[unkempt widget]

it's usually either ASC or Japan servers

sometimes i have 80 ping, which is really good

other times i have 250+

i found myself celebrating 180 ping

[unkempt widget]

no, they're not ddossed

sometimes other players have better ping

[full fossil]

weird

i wonder whats going on

you dont have any proxies running do you?

[unkempt widget]

that's a good point

[fossil frost]

rocket league also has a setting for selecting which region you want to play in, "auto" usually selects the region with the lowest ping for you, but sometimes it flakes out... maybe check the settings to see if you havnt accidentally switched to a region away from your local

[unkempt widget]

i usually have it on asia east

[junior herald]

why asia?

[unkempt widget]

because i live there???

[junior herald]

oh ok

[dull granite]

lmao

[junior herald]

lol

[fossil frost]

i would say to check it and make sure its still set to that.. because ive had both fortnite and rocket league change their location at random after an update

[unkempt widget]

it always is lmao

[full fossil]

ngl i chuckled when they asked why asia haha

[junior herald]

:/

[unkempt widget]

i had to read it again

[full fossil]

tbf theres only 1 country in the world :p

[junior herald]

yeah I know i'm one of them

[dull granite]

mr roblox perosn

[wind pulsar]

He's clearly European lmfao

[dull granite]

ik right

i just wasn't able to tell where they live so i took a guess

[unkempt widget]

i wonder where you live

[junior herald]

roblox aint that bad

[unkempt widget]

it's not like your name gives it away

[wind pulsar]

They're clearly German, bruh

[dull granite]

biggest chances because other countries with big population are either russia or china which are separated from the internet

[full fossil]

and 14

[unkempt widget]

russia doesn't have a big population lmao

[dull granite]

14?!?! what does it mean

[full fossil]

most just use a vpn i think

[junior herald]

14?

[dull granite]

i mean if you're tech savvy enough to be here

[full fossil]

wonder why it went down lmao

[unkempt widget]

ah 147 including crimea

[full fossil]

haha no idea

[unkempt widget]

and since we all know crimea isn't part of russia, it should be 144

[unkempt widget]

they include crimea lol

[dull granite]

based

[unkempt widget]

what a mystery

[wind pulsar]

• Russian infrastructure
• Citizens get Russian passports and IDs
• It WAS connected to Russia (Bridge got blown up)

Yeah, no matter how much you turn it, Russia made Crimea theirs

[dull granite]

i mean technically it is part of it

[wind pulsar]

Not technically, it IS part of it now

[dull granite]

not for long i hope

:D

[wind pulsar]

Just because people don't recognize it doesn't mean that's not the case, life's hard

[unkempt widget]

it can't be that russia's demographics are completely fucked

[unkempt widget]

it is still very illegal

also a lot of different things are defacto countries, we just don't recognize them

[wind pulsar]

I don't care
Nobody gave fucks enough to stop Russia from it happening, so Crimea Russia now

[unkempt widget]

you do realize there's a war going on

[wind pulsar]

Well apart from Urakine, obviously

[fossil frost]

the thing that we cant mention, because the bot bins your message if you do mention it.... is going to drag on for a long time, we all want it to be over soon, but its not going to be over soon

[unkempt widget]

and the entirety of nato is supporting one side of the war right?

and the fact that another major power is supporting russia

[dull granite]

occupied =/= part of

[unkempt widget]

it seems like people do give a fuck

[wind pulsar]

You do realize not a singular NATO soldier is on Ukrainian grounds, right

[unkempt widget]

volunteers? hello?

[wind pulsar]

You do realize not a singular NATO soldier is on Ukrainian grounds, right

[dull granite]

by same logic mariupol is now russian

and not Ukrainian

[unkempt widget]

they even passed a referendum!!! it must be legit

[full fossil]

technically there could be

[unkempt widget]

volunteers???

[wind pulsar]

Since when are are volunteers fucking NATO soldiers

[unkempt widget]

there are british soldiers that are fighting in ukraine rn

[wind pulsar]

The volunteers are largely citizens and veterans bruh

[stray apex]

ukraine controls mariupol

[unkempt widget]

(no they don't)

[stray apex]

russians were literally going on vacation to crimea

[stray apex]

uh, yes they do, they've recaptured it

[unkempt widget]

you're thinking about kherson

[full fossil]

yeah so thats why i said technically, an active soldier couldve volunteered

[stray apex]

hm
possibly

[dull granite]

@wind pulsar just because russian government raided and made fake referendums doesn't mean it actually thiers

[full fossil]

oh look what i found OwO
https://liveuamap.com/

[unkempt widget]

old news man

[full fossil]

😭

[stray apex]

I mean, we can legally consider it not to be russian, but it is effectively russian

[unkempt widget]

i used to watch this religiously

[full fossil]

no one told me 😭

[wind pulsar]

Russia clearly doesn't give a fuck if it's officially theirs

Russia clearly made Crimea their bitch, that's just how life is

[unkempt widget]

i mean you could say germany owned ukraine in 1941, but that's not entirely true, they only occupied it

occupying =/= owning

i could steal a bike but i don't own it, someone else does

[full fossil]

i mean technically noone owns anything

its just how the majority recognise what youve "claimed" as actually yours

[unkempt widget]

it's just like how countries are countries

[full fossil]

thats why what the majority recognise is what something technically is to us

[unkempt widget]

it's just whoever recognizes it

[stray apex]

I mean, when the US tried to get Germany to drop Nordstream they were like "stay out of our internal business" lmao
They didn't give a shit

[full fossil]

exactly

[unkempt widget]

somaliland is perfectly functional and is a de-facto state, nobody recognizes it

[full fossil]

and the majority recognition is that means youre in the loop of the worlds economy and everything

[dull granite]

[dull granite]

you use a vpn? or ur non-mainland

[unkempt widget]

life is eternal pain and suffering

[full fossil]

china just sounds disconnected from the rest of the world lol

[wind pulsar]

Why not, lol

[unkempt widget]

vpn

[dull granite]

Isn't PRC communist

it's an authoritarian state

[wind pulsar]

About half the Chinese population uses a VPN in some way or another, it wouldn't be surprising

[unkempt widget]

don't you love it when in your province alone, 770 people have been arrested for using a vpn?

[unkempt widget]

nope, not half, def not

[full fossil]

i love how they have control over the internet out of fear that people will ruin image or whatever... but theyre ruining their image by having these barbaric restrictions

[unkempt widget]

still a lot of prc supporters here

they just disassociate failures with prc and blame it on something else

[full fossil]

not sure what PRC stands for? peoples republic of china?

[unkempt widget]

yes

[dull granite]

ye

[full fossil]

ah

[wind pulsar]

Surveys have been done about it, in 2017 it was a minimum of 31%

[full fossil]

how can anyone support anything political there

[unkempt widget]

wow, how are you supposed to get data like that in china?

[wind pulsar]

Good question, but that's not really my problem

[full fossil]

people on vpns

lol

[unkempt widget]

my point

[full fossil]

id imagine most vpn users are the younger generation

[wind pulsar]

I mean a lot of companies require VPNs anyway so

[wind pulsar]

The opposite, actually

[full fossil]

really?

[unkempt widget]

i mean that's only international companies

[wind pulsar]

Most of those '31%' are companies that sell stuff internationally and have to get around the firewall

[unkempt widget]

and that's not a lot

[past egret]

my 70 year old grandfather uses a vpn to use google

more than 70 probably

[unkempt widget]

lots of expats in china use a vpn

[full fossil]

my 70 year old grandfather is surrounded by wood

[unkempt widget]

my 70 year old grandfather is dead

[past egret]

like a coffin?

[full fossil]

yes

[fossil frost]

log cabin in the woods?

[full fossil]

i wish

[past egret]

do you mean a open coffin?

[unkempt widget]

huh

[wind pulsar]

Imagine getting a scs of below 400 just because you use 200 MB worth of software on your computer

[full fossil]

above ground coffin you can selectively enter and leave

with a fireplace

[unkempt widget]

damn not my social credit score :( anything but that

[fossil frost]

3 of my grand parents are in a similar log cabin as yours.. only got 1 left... and tbh, its the 1 i least expected to outlive the others

[unkempt widget]

i feel like the rumor about that has faded away, i haven't been told about it for a long time

[full fossil]

is social credit like actually a big thing lmao

[wind pulsar]

Yes and no

[unkempt widget]

no lmao

[wind pulsar]

Yes, actually

[unkempt widget]

you think china has the bureaucratic ability to do something like it

[wind pulsar]

It has been implemented in several cities, I presume to test the system

[full fossil]

-400 social credit for dissing social credit

[unkempt widget]

well clearly not in my city

do you know which cities they are?

[wind pulsar]

Nah, afaik only in cities the size of Beijing or similar

[fossil frost]

social credit is a real thing everywhere... you have a credit score... allows you to get loans, mortgages, finance... your ability to buy nice things, and live a nice life, is defined by that credit score that a bunch of banks decide on for you

[dull granite]

it doesn't exist

[fossil frost]

its just not called "social credit" and people dont see it every day, so they dont think about it

[full fossil]

you wont find a good job by having a good credit score lol

totally different

[stray apex]

there are absolutely jobs that check your credit score

[full fossil]

but i see your point

[wind pulsar]

According to Wikipedia the social credit system is just an extension of your credit rating anyways, so

[unkempt widget]

i have never seen anything about a social credit score
you have no idea how corrupt the ccp is, especially on the lower levels
how are they gonna track every single person living in beijing
in fact i don't even know what social credit score is in chinese

[full fossil]

My social credit score would be impossible to recover from if we had it

[dull granite]

also Winnie the Pooh isn't actually banned afaik

[fossil frost]

you wont get a mortgage for a house with a bad score though, so you are now trapped renting... you wont get good finance on a nice car with a bad score, so you are now trapped buying cheaper second hand cars (nothing wrong with that btw) that may or may not have any service history and require a lot more effort to maintain, sucking down more free time and money

[wind pulsar]

No, but they afaik also never intended to have this done by human hands

[unkempt widget]

that's just another weird ass western myth

[dull granite]

also i heard peppa the pig is wildy popular out there

[unkempt widget]

i mean it was popular enough i watched it in chinese when i was young

[full fossil]

True

[fossil frost]

peppa pig is wildly popular everywhere

[unkempt widget]

that too

[dull granite]

even if talking animals are apple banned?

[wind pulsar]

Hangzhou, Nanjing, Xiamen, Chengdu, Suzhou, Suqian, Huizhou, Wenzhou, Weihai, Weifang, Yiwu & Rongcheng

[full fossil]

So weird hearing western being used lmao

Makes me think of like cowboys and deserts and shit not like Europe and USA from asia

[unkempt widget]

wow ningbo gets surrounded by nearly all of them meanwhile there's just chengdu here

there's also weihai weifang and rongcheng, in shandong i believe

[unkempt widget]

and also xiamen in the south
anyways suffice to say, they all seem like either port cities or xi just threw a dart on the chinese map and chose a city

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, but it seems that they are still working on it as of now

[unkempt widget]

damn

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, apparently there's roughly 20 million people on a social credit blacklist

People who are on a straight up blacklist can't even travel by train anymore, hilariously

[unkempt widget]

how much money i'm on the list

apparently 0

[wind pulsar]

If you can ride on a train, you aren't on the blacklist

[unkempt widget]

are they so silenced we don't even hear from that???

i mean they no longer even have an excuse to ban travel, the travel qr code has been done away with

that's really strange actually

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, the last announcement regarding to it was last year, so they're definitely still working on it

They've been working on that shit for 33 years now, actually

[unkempt widget]

because the doc looks very real and it looks just like any other document governments post

[unkempt widget]

highly doubt that, surveillance cameras were not everywhere back then yet

[wispy marsh]

That sounds sus. If my country has even a third of that amount if people on such a blacklist, the entire economy would collapse.

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, hence why I said 'have been working on that', they obviously failed when the topic first came up

[dull granite]

also china banned fem boiz 😭😭😭

[wind pulsar]

Also the reason why first tests were only 20 years later in 2013 or so

tbh RTX 5080 sounds silly

[wind pulsar]

[dull granite]

they should go 6000 series immediately

[wispy marsh]

5000 will be 2000 again

[wind pulsar]

Imagine they just go instead of a 5080 to a 2080 Ti Mk II

[wispy marsh]

Then 6000 will be the 5000Ti with double performance they launch 6months later

[tired glade]

Why 5080 sounds silly?

[dull granite]

there's something off about it

[tired glade]

I don't see it

[dull granite]

like 3080 sounds nice

and RTX 2050

it's kinda triggering for me

[tired glade]

It's just numbers

After seeing 4090 Ti/Lovelace Titan leaks

yep it ain't happening soon

[fervent prairie]

800W. Pls be true

[fossil frost]

you pushed your core offset too far? or undervolt too far?

not all CCDs are made the same... even 2 CCDs on the same cpu, 1 could be gold, other could be just about scraping into "good enough"

[dreamy rose]

basically treat these as fact at this point there's no way its not gonna require a 1000+ PSU

[manic torrent]

I found a dead fly in my server.

[junior mason]

neither actually, im running stock atm, it didnt matter if i undervolt or increased the voltage (cause over time silicon degrade - figured may require more power, unfortunately it didnt help)

[dreamy rose]

how did that happen?

[fossil frost]

do you have a motherboard with shit power delivery? 😄

[junior mason]

crosshair vii hero -- i think its got pretty good power delivery as far as im aware .-.

[fossil frost]

RMA the cpu?

[junior mason]

way out of warrenty at this point, 3900x - unless amd will still accept rma 0.o

[fossil frost]

ah, 3000 series... was gonna suggest, if it was out of warranty... to re-buy the cpu, and send the dead one back as "DOA" 😄

[junior mason]

oof - bit dodgy that, wouldnt they check serial numbers?

[fossil frost]

depends where you buy/return

amazon, they hardly even check the box

local computer shop, probably will do more checks

[junior mason]

true, welp i may just upgrade to 5950x at this point, if i can find one cheap second hand

(or am i just asking for more cpu trouble going second hand?

[wispy pollen]

Does anybody know of a wallpaper engine that can run transparent videos like .mov?

[junior mason]

why not just edit the video with the background you want? tho that doesnt exactly answer your question - im not sure if wallpaper engine supports transparent video ;-;

[mossy crest]

the first pirates of the caribbean movie is 20 years old

[wispy pollen]

in case the video is breaking my computer during an intensive activity, I could just use the static wallpaper and stop the video to save memory if needed be.

[fossil frost]

my 5950x can be bought for the price of a 7950x3d plus motherboard and ram 🙂

mine is a B2 sample too, OC's slightly better and OC's ram slightly better too

[junior mason]

man all i want is stability, ill probs run stock going forward, had enough crashing issues to last a life time 😅

[fossil frost]

ive pushed mine to its limits, got everything to the point where its just over the edge of stability, then pulled it back to where its JUST stable, but... critically... stable

[junior mason]

chances of degradation kicking in and causing crashes and losing a bunch o unsaved work?

[fossil frost]

0%

[junior mason]

even in 6-10 months?

[fossil frost]

clocks are high, voltage is low

[wispy pollen]

Got some ideas of a program or some way to make it work @junior mason?

[junior mason]

fair enough, guess i just got a shit cpu which soured any thought of oc .-.

[fossil frost]

sounds like it. pretty sure i got a gold sample (by accident). because ive been able to push this cpu quite far on a 240mm aio

all core 4.7ghz, at 77c...

[junior mason]

unfortunately not rn, tho as mentioned if you edit the transparent video with your current wallpaper, im sure you could set an hot key to disable and enable wallpaper engine, it would essentially be the same?

[junior mason]

ooh that do be impressive! especially those thermals

[full fossil]

4k 120 hz

[fossil frost]

something i only realised earlier on... 5ghz has been a "barrier" for cpus for quite a long time now.. its never been "this will always, 100% do at least 5ghz".. some cpus here and there have been able to be pushed hard to get just over 5ghz with a lot of effort... but... this new gen of cpus are all easily well over 5ghz, by default... and nobody seems to have really given a shit about that barrier falling

[polar fern]

It’s still not the norm for most cpu

Most cpu by user base are 3-4.7 ghz

[manic torrent]

I also have a T400... it supports whatever the cable supports

[fossil frost]

boost clocks on all 7000 series and 13th gen are 5ghz+,

Broadly they’ve gone to more cores at that same 3-4.7 ghz which is a bigger deal because more cores is more cores whereas slightly higher clock speed cannot make your cpu 4x faster or such

[summer folio]

1337 EU!

[polar fern]

4 ghz 4 core vs 4 ghz 6 core for example.

Same architecture etc the 6 core will always win

By a lot

[fossil frost]

depends on the application, not all applications are designed to use more than 1 core, let alone more than 2 or 4

[polar fern]

All else being equal - more pipes at 4000 gallons per minute is going to be more gallons per minute every time

And the newest stuff runs stupid hot

At stupid wattages

It’s not a real win

Show me a 65 watt tdp 6 core at 5 ghz

[fossil frost]

7900 non-x, 65w tdp, 12 cores, 24 threads, 5.4ghz boost. 7700 non-x 65w tdp, 8 cores 16 threads, 5.3ghz boost

[mint yacht]

TDP is a dumb figure lol

[fossil frost]

yep, its a made up number, but thats what they asked for

Stupid T400. Now I will replace it with a 1660 or 1660 super whatever I can get cheap

[unkempt widget]

why do you need a 1660 or a 1660 super

[manic torrent]

want a turing nvenc, and I need nvidia for machine learning stuff

so I want the cheapest turing+ card I can get, and that looks like the 1660 [super] for around $170-200 AUD

[unkempt widget]

ah

There is any better option?

[ionic abyss]

looking at 360mm aios I found one on aliexpress app for $36 free shipping with a programmable oled display

wonder how bad it is cooling wise

also how can they make a programmable oled 360mm aio cooler for that price

the oled is on the cpu block

[fossil frost]

its gonna die immediately, or be so bad, its probably going to warm your cpu up more than it cools it down

[ionic abyss]

lol

worse than a stock hp 240mm oem aio?

[fossil frost]

probably

[ionic abyss]

what's a good cheep 360mm aio

[fossil frost]

you wont get a good one for cheap

if you want an aio, buy the liquid freezer 2

otherwise, they are all the same

[ionic abyss]

sub 200% usd

The part that is most likely to fail is the pump and that's gonna be the cheapest shit in that unit

Radiators are just metal and fans can be replaced

save up a little more

[wise pumice]

i know i was just getting tired of saving up and finally just want to buy one

[polar steeple]

You're the one who wrote out the word "pounds" instead of just using £ like a normal person

[wise pumice]

bruh £ is literally pounds

[polar steeple]

Are you dumb?

[molten drift]

And lbs is also pounds

[wise pumice]

are you

[molten drift]

Which is a measurement of weight

[wise pumice]

yes and i did not put lbs

[molten drift]

Lbs and pounds are the same thing

[polar steeple]

Anyone that reads "140ish pounds" is going to assume you mean weight my dude

[molten drift]

So without specifying which the monitary symbol....

[polar steeple]

You're speaking to an international audience

[molten drift]

high fives

[wise pumice]

ive only seen americans use pounds as weight lol

[polar steeple]

You're so close to a breakthrough

Try a little harder you'll get it

[short copper]

yeah tbh, also theyre talking about a monitor, use context clues to figure out that they mean gbp

not that hard

[polar steeple]

Why should I have to when there's a convenient little symbol that would take away all confusion

[short copper]

why should you use context clues when communicating with someone?

[polar steeple]

Anyone know of 75hz 1440p monitors for around £140?

[short copper]

gee i sure am stumped there

[polar steeple]

No context clues necessary

Dumb fuck

[wise pumice]

lol

[short copper]

true

[polar steeple]

It's just the pure obstinance to logic that is making me mad lol

[wise pumice]

bro is literally 5

[short copper]

btw there arent many 1440p monitors like that i could find online but if you live near a CEX store you can go and check if they have any used monitors

[polar steeple]

And you're broke and illiterate

Nice combo

[wise pumice]

what lol

[short copper]

theyve got a return policy so if the monitor does kick it or has any defects you can just return it

[wise pumice]

i dont think ive seen a single monitor in my cex sadly

[polar steeple]

Anyway

[short copper]

i think they deliver as well

[polar steeple]

LG makes 75hz 1440p monitors

[wise pumice]

ill just wait a month or 2 and be patient

[short copper]

hope you find a good price on one anyways

[polar steeple]

LG 32QN600-B

That's the model number of the 32 I'm not sure if they have it in other sizes

[wise pumice]

im sorry but thats close to 140ish lbs than 140ish £

its £300

[polar steeple]

Yeah there's not a lot of 75hz 1440p panels

[wise pumice]

i know thats why i was asking in here

i spent couple hours searching

but i think all i can get is used so ill just wait and save up more money

[short copper]

save up a little more and then there should be plenty of decent sized ones around 160-180 ish

[polar steeple]

I would also say

Aim for 120hz rather than 75

You can always cap frames but you can't increase refresh rate

[wise pumice]

ye at £156 i can get 144

[polar steeple]

Also it's gonna be a preference thing but I honestly can't tell the difference between 1080 and 1440 so you may be able to save a lot of money by just going for 1080

If I could do things over again that's what I would do

[short copper]

ive had 1080p 165hz for a while

i dont notice a huge difference between 1080 and 1440 either but refresh rate is huge

[wise pumice]

well anything is better than my 29" 1080p tv lol i want to not be able to see pixels so going with 27" 1440p will ensure that

[polar steeple]

1080p on highest preset settings in AAA games is still gonna look incredible

29" is a weird size for 1080p lok

[wise pumice]

also i dont mind spending a lil more for 1440p since itll be a long term thing that ill be buying

[polar steeple]

You wouldn't be able to see pixels on a 24-27" 1080p monitor

[wise pumice]

yes i know i had to spend like 2 hours even finding the tv online

[polar steeple]

Just a thought

1080p is also considerably easier to run in most games

[short copper]

personally i would stick with 1080p but if you want 1440p then go for it

[polar steeple]

The only reason I went with 1440p is because I wanted a 32" monitor and I regret it

[still hull]

Hello guys,
You don't need to respond to this...
Just me landing here and saying hi...
👀

[normal cargo]

27 is ideal for 1440 rly

[polar steeple]

If I could redo I'd get a 144hz+ 1080p monitor around 25-27"

[normal cargo]

32, 4k

[polar steeple]

Yes yes

[wise pumice]

24 is ideal for 1080p too right?

[mild elm]

Yes

[normal cargo]

Ye

[mild elm]

4k can do like 42” until it’s ugly

[polar steeple]

"Ugly" lol

[mild elm]

But higher than 35” monitor is too much

[wise pumice]

ugly like my 29" 1080p tv lol

[mild elm]

Not ugly

[polar steeple]

Everyone is different it's just funny how people perceive things

[mild elm]

Wrong word

[polar steeple]

I used to have my Xbox series S hooked up to a 55" TV, so we are talking the signal was probably 1440p on low settings

[wise pumice]

not ideal

[polar steeple]

It didn't look bad at all

To me. I'm sure others would say it's unplayable lol

[wise pumice]

depends how far you sit form it

[normal cargo]

You say further away though ?

[polar steeple]

No I was pretty close to it when I had that setup

Like maybe 5 feet

[normal cargo]

Like within 3 ft ?

[wise pumice]

5 feet is close?

thats like a human

[ionic abyss]

8what is a good sub $200usd 360aio cooler for a 12700k

[polar steeple]

Yeah? My current couch is like 8 feet from my TV lol

why shouldnt it work???

so what are the best ssd storages company i should buy from

[full fossil]

i have 2 TB inside + 2 TB nvme laying on a desk

[plush rivet]

No “best company”

Model>brand

[indigo trellis]

ok whats the best model

[plush rivet]

Sea gate makes good HDD if your asking, but if you can afford it get an SSD

[indigo trellis]

oh so sea gate

[plush rivet]

you should always get SSDS over HDD

[indigo trellis]

ofc they way faster

thats why i asked if i can get above 1tb in ssd

[polar steeple]

Not always

[plush rivet]

SSDS are much cheaper now

[polar steeple]

Depends heavily on the context

[indigo trellis]

i mean

[plush rivet]

In modern day SSDS are very cheap now

[indigo trellis]

for gaming

[plush rivet]

You can get more than 200 if you wanted to

[polar steeple]

Yeah but SSDs aren't built for deep storage

[plush rivet]

ofc not but their much faster and are more affordable, I doubt he’s going to be doing “deep storage” with gaming.

Deep storage is like servers which is not in this case

[plush rivet]

Get a 2TB ssd on Amazon

[indigo trellis]

i need like 4 tb

ive got alot of games on my hdd

[plush rivet]

Ok get 2 than

[indigo trellis]

and im tired of transfering

alr ill go check it out ty u all for ur time

Is it possible to game in 3d on Radeon cards

Nvidia stopped supporting their 3d gaming thing a while ago, and it was behind a paywall so you can't really use it anymore

[sonic barn]

isn't all gaming except 2d games done in 3d though

last I checked fortnite isn't 2d

at least being rendered, screens are 2d so there's that

i checked, amd's cards still support the feature

pog

Metal gear rising supports stereoscopic 3d and I wanted to see if i could try it with 3ds emulators

because I know citra supports it
so a high definition 3ds game with HD textures in 3d would be pog

[jaunty compass]

we got the 3d tv for free with everything needed to actually use the 3d on it; and 3d gaming was always pretty neat but i've only ever experienced it on the 3ds because I didn't have a pc at all during the big 3d boom back in like

[iron canyon]

is pc game pass a good idea?

i have zero games currently as i just got a pc

[fossil frost]

i pay for ultimate, for xbox and pc... and heavily use it on both, as does my oldest son

[dull granite]

xbox game pass?

[iron canyon]

i have xbox game pass

i mean xbox ultimate

[fossil frost]

you can upgrade it to game pass ultimate, and sign in to the gamepass app on your pc with the same account, and then just start playing

ultimate isnt just xbox, its xbox+pc

[iron canyon]

so if i have it on xbox is it free for pc?

[fossil frost]

if you have ultimate, you are already paying for xbox+pc

[iron canyon]

alright thank you

[fossil frost]

console gamepass = xbox... pc gamepass = pc.. ultimate = pc+xbox

[iron canyon]

because i have xbox ultimate but i just got a pc

[fossil frost]

ultimate is a waste of money if you dont have a pc

[iron canyon]

well it’s not anymore ig

I have two 140mms in the bottom as well

[full fossil]

i just like the fact that if i wanted to i can just bring my pc anywhere… even tho i dont

[polar steeple]

Thing I've always felt about that is

Like yeah PC is small dimensionally but it's gonna be dense and heavy

No fun to tote around anyway

[full fossil]

still lighter than if you put it in a full size

[polar steeple]

I've seen some cool sff cases with integrated handles

But like you said I don't think I'd really ever bring it anywhere

[full fossil]

eye candy to me is minimalism. i can appreciate rgb and nice full size towers i just dont think it matches my aesthetic either

[polar steeple]

One thing I think would be pretty cool but I'm not handy enough

Would be a well built SFF with an integrated monitor

Some of these usb c monitors for sale these days have some nice specs

It would be kind of pointless in comparison to a laptop but it could look cool

[full fossil]

true that, i would totally do something like that but i dont think its that useful unless you display weather or pc temps

to each their own they look sexy af tho

I notice those born after wifi tend to care about pronouns more than the avg

for example, I call you "dude"

[worldly stream]

I'm a tad older than Linux

[vital niche]

you DONT go all apeshit

[worldly stream]

*Linus oops

[wispy drum]

Hi. Bad time here

[heady flicker]

I don't think the average youngster even cares about pronouns

[vital niche]

no they do if they are LGBTQIA+

[worldly stream]

Not always

[vital niche]

and they are wrong for it. Chronically online ppl

[heady flicker]

dude since when did LGB become that long

[wispy drum]

My iPhone 7 Plus not working and my hp laptop got water inside

[worldly stream]

Depends on how militant a person is

[vital niche]

since the west decided fucking is all there is to do

[wispy drum]

The only I use is the iPhone 5s

I’m using it

[vital niche]

some ppl go thru dysphoria which is a way of labeling urself as a pansy

It's one thing IRl. but I dont even know the username/person

[worldly stream]

@vital niche You seem to have a bit of a bee in your bonet

[vital niche]

It's SUUUCH a young person thing it's not even funny

[vital niche]

more of trying to verify im not crazy

[worldly stream]

Why would you be crazy?

[vital niche]

bc they said to speak to ppl who are nonbinary and shit, when I kept calling them dude

cause apparently I didnt understand

[graceful burrow]

Dang he's still upset about that?

[vital niche]

but ofc gender status is HIGHLY contested and fetishized online

[graceful burrow]

He was going on about it like two days ago

Talk about rent free kek

[worldly stream]

Ah. I mean Dude, bro, mate, etc are all general venacular these days and used in a neutral way

[vital niche]

yeah mainly the profile reminded me that I need to ask ppl

[graceful burrow]

I just default to they
Ezpz

[vital niche]

what if they are she/they

[worldly stream]

Then you can use either

[vital niche]

nom

[graceful burrow]

I think they is within she/they

[vital niche]

some ppl use they/them

because they are privileged at online convos

[graceful burrow]

You're definitely overthinking it

[worldly stream]

Yeah

[vital niche]

but yeah the phenomenon of gender tags being like oh u dont have one etc

[worldly stream]

I use they/them, but I also don't mind she/her. I'm chill with either

[vital niche]

and how she/her is used by normies to adapt or w/e

it's funny bc I dont care either way

[graceful burrow]

Yeah definitely overthinking it

[worldly stream]

I mean this whole spiel kinda says otherwise 😉

Like @graceful burrow says, you're overthinking

[vital niche]

I literally got banned from a discord server because I refused to not call someone dude

[worldly stream]

Really simple solution: Ask the person if in doubt 🙂

[graceful burrow]

It isn't as deep as you're making it out to be

I mean
If someone asks you to not and you keep doing it
Kinda a dick move

[worldly stream]

Just like language, the our understanding of various things evolve, including gender...

[vital niche]

it also devolved into gender affirmation messages like SLAY queen

[graceful burrow]

That's just slang

[twilit river]

helo

[worldly stream]

That's LGBTQ+ vernacular, yeah

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[vital niche]

nah but SLAY implies

[worldly stream]

In the same black POC folk have AAVE

*same way

[vital niche]

like in drag because someone gendered you as you wanted and it's somehow exciting

somehow

[graceful burrow]

I don't even know where these connections are coming from kek

[twilit river]

bro whats the maximum ram that can be apply in my computer

[vital niche]

gender affirmation is HUGE isn the nb space

[fluid ridge]

depends on your operating system

and your motherboard/hardware*

[twilit river]

ok

[worldly stream]

@vital niche Because it's validating to be referred to correctly after a lifetime of being misgendered etc

Think of it like drowning, then suddenly you get a breath of fresh air

[vital niche]

true but then it becomes a whole identity, and that is when it intersects with therapy

I went through identity issues too, like Im Indian

[worldly stream]

Because your gender IS part of your identity

[vital niche]

and I cant change that

guys i have a dout dram is the stick that contains ram right

[polar steeple]

What

[twilit river]

what is dram

can you plzz say

[polar steeple]

As I understand it dram has something to do with your ssd

[graceful burrow]

What device or part are you talking about

[fluid ridge]

[worldly stream]

@fluid ridge Look at your motherboard model online, find the specs, it'll tell you what RAM is supported and how much

[graceful burrow]

Triage isn't the one asking6

[worldly stream]

Combined with what your CPU can support

OH, ops

[polar steeple]

[fluid ridge]

have no fear i know how much my motherboard can support 😎

[worldly stream]

@twilit river I meant to tag, my apologies

[fluid ridge]

a measly 64

[worldly stream]

@fluid ridge Good good 😛

I know the feeling, lappydappy has a paltry 64GB too

[fluid ridge]

on another note icloud on windows is atrocious in terms of upload speed

[polar steeple]

The person asking isn't asking about ram either though

[worldly stream]

Working on getting more RAM for a workstation mobo I have (obtained a GIGABYTE MD71-HB0, got 128GB 2133MHz DDR4 RAM so far)

[fluid ridge]

i paid for iclouds extra storage because it was very cheap but i have left my computer on for 3 days and it still hasnt fully synced yet

[worldly stream]

@polar steeple They asked earlier

[polar steeple]

They asked about dram

[twilit river]

ok

[twilit river]

yes

[fluid ridge]

#public-chat message

[worldly stream]

They asked here 🙂

[polar steeple]

SSDs with DRAM is considerably quicker than DRAM-less SSDs in virtually every metric. The presence of a DRAM chip means that the CPU does not need to access the slower NAND chips for mapping tables while fetching data. DRAM being faster provides the location of stored data quickly for viewing or modification.

Dram is a cache on your ssd

[twilit river]

oh ok

[polar steeple]

SSD with dram usually more expensive

And more durable in the long long term

[twilit river]

always i have a dout about dram and ram

thats y i asked

[graceful burrow]

Dout?

[polar steeple]

Yeah idk about that part lma9

[graceful burrow]

I'm still not even sure what you were actually asking

[twilit river]

@polar steeple where you from

[polar steeple]

Um, I'm from the United States

[twilit river]

nice

[twilit river]

doubt

[graceful burrow]

That still doesn't clear up what you were asking

[polar steeple]

I don't think English is their native language

[twilit river]

yes

am weak in english

😢

[polar steeple]

You're doing fine

[worldly stream]

On a random note, new hearing aids arrive tomorrow or the day after, will be nice hearing better again aha

[twilit river]
