Just work in oil if you want money

[pliant sphinx]

Oil rig worker

[long briar]

money isn't everything.

[tired glade]

If you release your game outside of free windows, it doesn't matter how good your game is

[winged yarrow]

I remember that, what's messed up too is that from their perspective it could have been a pretty good or mid-tier deal. More of an issue with the global economy than with that company imo

[tired glade]

It put food on your table

[long briar]

Depends. It can get really boring and taxing on your body, but you make a ton of money off of it

[vapid smelt]

Just go hunting ezpz

[fossil frost]

my dads friend spent 15 years working on oil rigs, retired at 42, has enough money from that (you have nothing you can spend it on when you are out at sea for 3 months at a time), to not have to bother working again

[tired glade]

4head

[long briar]

yep.

It's kinda nuts, but those 15 years would've been rough

[vapid smelt]

But how broken is his body?

[long briar]

you're literally trading your health for money, but if you can manage it, you easily can support even a large family solo

[tired glade]

At least not forgotten game

[fossil frost]

first 8 or so were actually working on the machines, the remaining years were as a GM on the rig, and its not that bad on your body if you are generally strong and fit. as evil as oil companies are, the workers are their ability to print money, and are very well looked after

[winged yarrow]

The lonely hunter stalks his prey, hunching down in the dead of night, he approaches slowly in his Toyota Corolla. He rolls down his window and a mechanical voice originates from a white obelisk, "Hello, will you be using your mobile app today" he scratches his head and responds "No..." and then another voice, a real voice, appears, "Welcome to McDonald's what can I get for you?"

[long briar]

and on the added benefit that you can start looking for more "passion" based careers once you've earned enough and not need to worry about "is this going to pay enough so I can eat and get gas"

[fossil frost]

ah, so 2 or 3 news reports accounts for "most" when we have 10s of 1000s of game dev studios around the world, and 100s of 1000s of general development studios

[long briar]

Yep.

[fossil frost]

he spends most days mountain biking now, he invested his money, and the investments pay just enough to be a semi decent wage for the rest of his life

[long briar]

nicee

[fossil frost]

in fact, i need to arrange a day with him soon, need him to show me some new good spots to take my bike

[long briar]

How small do you consider small

[winged yarrow]

<50?

[fossil frost]

you have no idea what you are arguing about other than what you have been spoon fed... when you have experienced it... come back and lecture me

[long briar]

you could have a game with a pretty large userbase... and be a solo dev

[vapid smelt]

He might have to go back to work with this economy

[long briar]

as is the case with Geometry Dash

[winged yarrow]

I want to make a game

[fossil frost]

his house is paid, his F150 is paid, he just has to use his money to pay for petrol and food

[long briar]

ofc he's a pickup driver

[vapid smelt]

F150 in the UK?

[fossil frost]

stardew valley has a single dev too doesnt it

[winged yarrow]

Wasn't Kenshi a single dev?

[fossil frost]

yeah, it looks fucking ridiculous outside of his house

[long briar]

I believe so

[vapid smelt]

Flappy bird was one dude

[long briar]

ok but flappy bird was also revolutionary

the alpha of "idle games"

[vapid smelt]

But he is retired and doesn't do landscaping or construction?

[dull granite]

folly bird

[long briar]

You never specified.

[fossil frost]

mountain biking, he carries his bike, plus 3 or 4 other friends bikes and also the friends when he goes anywhere

i disagree, many people have done this with smaller MMOs and its worked out fine

[long briar]

technically speaking he could get an SUV and a hitchmount bike rack

[fossil frost]

he could, but didnt want to do

[long briar]

but trucks are more fun

well, Ford's trucks are. I hate the Ram 1500

[fossil frost]

he wanted something that could more or less drive up a vertical wall if needed

[winged yarrow]

I think with how much easier cloud apps are becoming to develop, you might be able to manage the networking for a game like, say, dark and darker, with one person. It would still be difficult but it's all about the right setup, no?

[long briar]

that makes sense

[vapid smelt]

You can carry bikes on a smart car... He is just driving a super impractical expensive truck on small UK streets

[long briar]

mountain biking != streets chief

[fossil frost]

as ziggy said with the cloud now, designing a game for 100 people, the only thing stopping it from handling 100,000 people is £££

[slim mirage]

weird i come back to discord with some weirdo impersonating me very strange

[long briar]

I also said that already, it's a matter of choice which I get

[delicate wagon]

That's fucked up

[vapid smelt]

Mountain bikes can easily fit in these

[long briar]

heading into the mountains becomes an issue

[fossil frost]

hes driving to places like snowdon, or to fort william, or generally just driving to unnamed mountain in the middle of the middle of nowhere

[vapid smelt]

Subaru

[fossil frost]

thats what he traded in for his truck

[pliant sphinx]

"The only thing stopping it is money" is a dumb argument. The only thing which is stopping me from buying Tesla is money, lmao.

[winged yarrow]

Well if everything is run with orchestration tools then updates/maintenance is a script you run. If you were developing the entire thing yourself you'd probably have a CI/CD pipeline that took care of a lot of it (and could even time it so you could have it be like "Server Maintenance Thursday at 5pm GMT for 4 hours")

[fossil frost]

updates/expansions no more effort than building the original game, and there are single dev single player games with 10s or 100s of 1000s of players, and they manage customer support and troubleshooting... and by money, i mean the money that the scallable cloud architecture actually costs... not the time or employees.. .and as the game makes money, you can more and more afford to scale it out

[winged yarrow]

As for customer support and troubleshooting, you would just offset that into a support based forum and let the community bring you legitimate issues to solve.

[vapid smelt]

Utah is well known for mountain biking and most bikers I see have a AWD Subaru or a "compact" SUV with roof racks or the hitch one I just showed

[long briar]

or tacomas

Also I will say, I hate roof racks with a passion

[fossil frost]

also, a game like WoW, you do know that there will only be about 3 people managing the whole network infrastructure for the game?

[long briar]

Trucks are defo more stable when carrying lots of bikes

[winged yarrow]

All of that is becoming increasingly automated, I've never sat with a live agent for issues like that.

[vapid smelt]

My dad used a bike roof rack on his 04 Honda van

[long briar]

Minecraft!!!

[fossil frost]

fuck, i work for a multibillion dollar global company, we have 1 guy managing all of our global cloud deployment, and we spend 100s of 1000s on the actual cloud infrastructure

this sort of work needs fewer people than you would think

[winged yarrow]

Also it's less of a need than an option that companies provide, you can go without direct support like I mentioned for having a support forum.

[fossil frost]

all issues that they mentioned are stuff you would today, get a chatbot for... and in the past, you would have the manual version of a chatbot,... an FAQ with search function

[winged yarrow]

most of my game related issues are solved by forums

[long briar]

people are lazy, this server proves it

[winged yarrow]

like the negative LOD bias that gives me muh reflections in SWTOR

[fossil frost]

you are twisting your argument again, changing it to different arguments, and purposefully not understanding what is being said. the point is, a MMO can be created and ran by an individual, and support 100s of 1000s of players

[winged yarrow]

Yeah I started again yesterday lol

Yes, really hard to fix the in game economy. I'm in it for the story more than the auction house though.

They need to get the EVE online people in there

Right now Jedi Knight

Playing as a Jedi Knight Sage which is weird since last time I played was on the 32 bit client where the sage was an evil class lol

I normally enjoy empire a bit more ngl, the dystopian themes and colder characters and story concepts is more entertaining, like game of thrones

The new UI is good, but they messed up the character model a bit

Not the model itself but the way it moves, like sometimes I'll go up to a step and it'll be a slightly higher step and back in the day no issue but now it's full stop like I hit a wall

needs a tweak

[lilac fern]

will the ASUS ROG ALLY be able to hook up to a monitor without the stupidly exponsive xg mobile or is it needed

[winged yarrow]

Definitely one of my favorite MMOs

private servers will prevail like they did with SWG

Although SWG has it's own complicated story

If you've never played it (if you can get past the graphics) it's really worth it

pre-WoW star wars mmo with some really good ideas

Oh so you have played it XD

[cunning pecan]

Jedi

[winged yarrow]

Yes, Restorations 3 was the private server I was playing it on. They were developing it out so that jedis were like how they were in the original days where it was very rare to become one.

[cunning pecan]

do you watch new series of sw

[winged yarrow]

But instead of just logging in as a jedi you could become one, each character would have a random place in the world where the quest would activate

[cunning pecan]

mistakes

new series i mean

dont you know the mandolorian or boba fett like those

mando

im watching it too but these days i switched to boba fett

[winged yarrow]

Agreed

[cunning pecan]

its like same already

[winged yarrow]

boba fett and mandolorian are pretty good shows, I've watched them both all the way through. Do recommend

[cunning pecan]

yup

[abstract loom]

who is jake and what is relation to Linus?

[cunning pecan]

i have both battle front games but never ever installed them

[winged yarrow]

No, they won't, but there are passionate players for the game that will reverse engineer it if they even remotely decide to take it down completely. For now, I think they're still at least breaking even on the game.

[cunning pecan]

keeping games on library

[winged yarrow]

It was to an extent, but I did enjoy a lot of it still. Especially danny trejo

[tardy terrace]

yall buying the wrong things from EA

All you need is the sims

[cunning pecan]

i still cant stop thinking that are they inspired from booba feet while naming boba fett

[winged yarrow]

I hope they do, but even if they are, unless it has the light side/dark side choices like SWTOR had with the dynamic story and fully voiced lines then I don't think it'll live up except maybe for combat. If they churn out a black desert clone with star wars theme then it'll be alright for the graphics but I'll probably still go back to swtor just to play out the story.

of course a kotor remake could get me out of that mentality

oh so what it's going to be The Division: Space Cult Edition

this is the way I guess

[vapid smelt]

Disney is doing too much starwars stuff

[tardy terrace]

How does one modify an nvidia firmware file, or is it simply not possible

I really don't want to have to learn to read hex w/ hexedit

[low rain]

Hola

[winged yarrow]

What are you trying to edit? Will nvidia profile inspector do the trick?

[tardy terrace]

I want to increase the firmwares board power limits

[winged yarrow]

I just wish they hadn't massacred the avengers game

[tardy terrace]

2080ti FE internal dev card

[winged yarrow]

I'm not sure if nvidia profile inspector will do it, and by extension I'm not sure in general. But you could try it if you haven't already?

yeah and the wolverine should be good too

I didn't play GotG, been meaning to pick that up

I just want a good multiplayer game to play with my 3 friends

I know!

[tender geyser]

should i keep my ltt moonshine water bottle sealed

i already have an ltt water bottle and this is a neat collectors item

[vapid smelt]

Why

Collecting YouTuber merch lmao

[tender geyser]

yessir

good youtuber merch

[fossil frost]

collecting generic junk that just happens to have a youtuber logo on it

[vapid smelt]

It's just a hydro flask

[dreamy rose]

not at lttstore.com!

[fossil frost]

yes, even at genericbutbrandedshopifyinstall.com

[muted wind]

Woah. LTT pulled a "kono bangumi wa"

[vapid smelt]

The art is cool but it's just a OEM water bottle at the end of the day

[tardy terrace]

Ain't nothing wrong with that

[vapid smelt]

True

[tender geyser]

oh nvm the bottle is just on the site in stock lol

back order*

[vapid smelt]

I have the ltt stealth water bottle

[winter hearth]

you're not paying for the botttle itself, you're paying for bottle AND merch art. its like band merch

[tardy terrace]

[tender geyser]

i kinda wanna get the uncle linus hoodie

but thatd be like 100 cad in total so uh

[analog willow]

does anyone know that company sends you the part to build your own pc after you buy, i know its not nzxt or build redux

[fossil frost]

amazon... pcpartpicker... literally anywhere you can buy components

[analog willow]

i mean they even send you the instructions and everything, its a company like nzxt and build redux

[vapid smelt]

Don't sure that's a thing

Why would a 3rd party collect parts to send to a buyer and not assemble the pc

[low rain]

I’m watching boss baby 😭

[analog willow]

the company was testing it out like i vividly remember this and i know i wasnt dreaming about it

[vapid smelt]

That company would spend so much time and money on tech support, helping users build a pc

[winged yarrow]

[vapid smelt]

https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387?hl=en very nice used it today

[fossil frost]

i get almost no spam at all since i got my pixel 7

[winged yarrow]

Before my pixel I'd get calls all the time, from indians calling themselves canadians and advertising services for californian companies

Nowadays I don't get any calls and it's totally worth it

[vapid smelt]

Yesterday I was foolish enough to answer the phone, thick Indian accent telling me they are from the US border agency, (they also had a ton of back ground noise, like it was from a scam call center)

[tardy terrace]

lmao, sure

[vapid smelt]

Today got another call used they Google screener and the hangup

[vapid smelt]

I only answered because I called in late for work and thought my boss was calling me back from a different number

[fossil frost]

i bought a carpet last week, and was told i would get a call this week, and answered the phone to an unknown number yesterday hoping it was that my carpet had been delivered to the store and i could book the fitting in... but no... was some indian guy who genuinely sounded like apu from the simpsons

[vapid smelt]

Lmao

[fossil frost]

"hi.. my name is steve" erm... no its not

I have a 6800XT though

[dreamy rose]

exactly. its a better card for cheaper. Nvidia greedy AF.

[wispy marsh]

They're all the same. Companies are not your friend

[dreamy rose]

AMD read the market poorly. that's why they went and lowered the XT. maybe there was greed mixed in too. but they know they fucked up.

they owned it and lowered prices. Nvidia? outright disgusting they never care if you get a good deal. they only care if they can sucker you into buying crap cards so you have to upgrade next gen.

[wispy marsh]

Both of them would have done similar things if their positions are reversed

For example, Apple did the "X% faster than competitors" once they ran out of significant arch and ipc improvements, so that they can tell people they're actually not living in their own world

[full fossil]

I woke up and found my cat shitting and weeing in the place were all of our backpacks are stored 💀

[wispy marsh]

Just like how nVidia is

[full fossil]

Looks like someone forgot to open the bathroom door

[wispy marsh]

Yall lock your bathroom doors?

[manic torrent]

GG microsoft. the download is so slow it might as well be stopped

[tardy terrace]

I can't even close mine if I'm in there because my cat demands to be in there if I'm in there.

[dreamy rose]

ah yes the games store that shits out on you if you dare do as much as use it.

[uncut heath]

if you worked multiple jobs at a single company in a single stretch of time, would you list them separately in a resume, or just the most recent title?

[tardy terrace]

List them all

[manic torrent]

... it depends.

[uncut heath]

on what?

[vapid smelt]

Damn KB

[tardy terrace]

How long is this stretch of time, are these good moves?

[manic torrent]

how good it makes you look in terms of your resume, basically

[uncut heath]

help desk -> network admin

good looks, for sure

Are you okay mate?

[uncut heath]

[manic torrent]

no

[vapid smelt]

It might be faster if they shipped you a Cd

[uncut heath]

sound advice. thanks fellas

[dreamy rose]

don't ask me, ask Microsoft. why can they make good consoles but not figure out how to make a fucking app store work on a PC.

[vapid smelt]

Well they don't make the Xbox hardware...

[dreamy rose]

their console experience is good. but Windows is the polar opposite.

[manic torrent]

they do

[vapid smelt]

Well GPU/cpu

[wispy marsh]

My bathroom is not a store

[manic torrent]

Look inside an xbox and tell me what's in there aside from that 😛

[wispy marsh]

I like the microsoft store

I only use it through winget

soon SATA will be dead for gaming PCs. and dead will be the PS5s once it reaches that age.

[manic torrent]

yeah nah. If you're talking about decent gaming setups, SATA is long dead.

[wispy marsh]

You take that back

[vapid smelt]

8tb SATA ssds are cheap

[manic torrent]

I built my PC with a sata drive to store games, and replaced it with an m.2 because of the noise!

[dreamy rose]

a few years ago it was viable because of PS4/XB1 using HDDs. but in the next gen not even SATA SSDs are gonna be worth the time.

[manic torrent]

on the contrary. the compelling reason for m.2 NVMe is direct access.

[vapid smelt]

And less cable management

[wispy marsh]

This is what I have in the house as a gaming rig

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g37PRv

[manic torrent]

you cannot tell the difference between a sata ssd and an m.2 ssd while gaming.

[wispy marsh]

For now yes, until directstorage 1.1/1.2 is properly implemented

[manic torrent]

yes, as I said above.

[vapid smelt]

2017 called they want you to install a nvme

[manic torrent]

but that will only apply to newer higher end builds anyway

[dreamy rose]

exactly. Gen 4 is gonna be a basic entry point/ sweetspot then Gen 5 is gonna be what you really want, then 3's just gonna be you budget and not good for gaming option.

[wispy marsh]

Because I assume you're comparing m.2 sata ssd's and 2.5" sata ssd's

[manic torrent]

sata isn't going away.

[wispy marsh]

It's not my build. Why should I care?

[manic torrent]

they are the same, just different packaging

[vapid smelt]

Nvme boot speeds

[wispy marsh]

I do feel a difference using nvme as compared to any sata ssd though

[dreamy rose]

p sure some were talking about DS working with SATA Devices at some point.

[wispy marsh]

Nintendo DS?

[dreamy rose]

Direct Storage

[manic torrent]

in some situations some of the time there's a difference, but it generally isn't meaningful

[dreamy rose]

if i was talking about that i'd use NDS

[wispy marsh]

I think it was mentioned, but I supposed they ultimately dropped it because it's at best 1/5 the speed of pcie nvme's

[wispy marsh]

Safari Edge feels snappier

I appreciate the Apple community for keeping this one joke alive

[dreamy rose]

yeah. generally 2.5 inch SATA SSDs will be left for upgrading older systems and not as common. maybe even m.2 SATA.

[manic torrent]

more so that there isn't a limitation for doing the memory copy at sata speeds.

[wispy marsh]

Safari was a piece of trash back in the earlier days, like iOS7 or 8

[wispy marsh]

You'd be surprised. Enterprise will swallow these things if they can get it for cheap

[vapid smelt]

I had a strange dream that they made a nvme SSD that used 110 watts

[daring swallow]

Nice PC

[dreamy rose]

oh yeah Enterprise would snap that shit up no question.

[summer folio]

Can't believe Humanity is going to the moon for the first time in 2024

[manic torrent]

thanks, I made it myself

[wispy marsh]

I want to see reviews of directstorage on sata vs nvme's

[summer folio]

[wispy marsh]

Directstorage should have been the way ever since the start

[manic torrent]

you can see reviews, but I'm telling you, I understand how it works, and there is very little benefit to be realised.

[summer folio]

Sata > nvme

[vapid smelt]

Maybe if your broke

[summer folio]

Bigger = Better

[wispy marsh]

I trust you. Because I goddamn ain't spending a dime to upgrade from perfectly working sata ssd's, especially when it's not my build

[manic torrent]

lots of things should have been, but we learn things as we go

[vapid smelt]

Bigger cars= better?

[summer folio]

Only if they are Wagons*

[fallen cedar]

Volvo gang

[wispy marsh]

Speedwagons*

[summer folio]

There is 0 need for SUVs or Sedans

[vapid smelt]

No one drives volvos

[fallen cedar]

I do

[summer folio]

Because they drive SAAB?

[vapid smelt]

Lmao Saab in the USA

[fallen cedar]

Saab is dope 🙂

[summer folio]

Swedish Fighter Jet tech, but it's a car.

[vapid smelt]

I've seen more Ferraris than saabs here in the USA

[low rain]

Garand Thumb has the best intros

[dreamy rose]

Busses too

[random jolt]

https://www.saab.com/products/land/weapon-systems
this is what comes to mind when I hear saab in NA xd, not the cars

[dreamy rose]

why are they using PS3 Graphics?

[random jolt]

wait it it actually a game screenshot

[vapid smelt]

But now GM owns them 🇺🇸

[dreamy rose]

idk. but it looks like it

[low rain]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOwj_1K0Ug0 this intro was so nice

[summer folio]

USA could only dream owning such good jets as SAAB Gripen NG

Oh, you meant the car department?

[manic torrent]

honestly - direct storage won't make a difference for some time, realistically it will be years before it you will need it to get a good experience.

[vapid smelt]

Yeah the vroom vroom

[manic torrent]

because they spend their time working on weapons

[wispy marsh]

I'm itching for the 8000 series gpu

[bold sedge]

Heyo

[low rain]

i ❤️ the F22 raptor

[bold sedge]

Quick question

Does the LTX pack include the hoodie

[summer folio]

Does GM make any cars of their own btw?

[bold sedge]

I’m getting floatplane for LTX

[summer folio]

Only heard of the GM oil specification

[bold sedge]

I think it’s just trucks iirc

[manic torrent]

huh?

[bold sedge]

I don’t think they make new designs however

[dreamy rose]

oh RDNA 4 needs to be that Ryzen moment for Radeon. absolutely. if Nvidia all of a sudden has a change of heart (HIGHLY unlikely) they are basically screwed and sent back to the beginning all over again.

[low rain]

omg, I wish I did the 1990s for my presentation cause then i could have talked ab the f22.

[wispy marsh]

[summer folio]

Oh, they make pick-up trucks? Thought Ford made those in the USA.

[low rain]

or if i did 1980s i could have done the f18

[bold sedge]

Ye

[summer folio]

Volkswagen makes pick-up trucks in Europe I think

[vapid smelt]

Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC

[bold sedge]

They don’t make anything new though

[dreamy rose]

there were Pick up truck CARS. like a Sedan with a bed on the back. those were cool.

[summer folio]

Pick-Up Trucks are like 0,75 of a Station wagon.
Half seats in the back? Why would you want that?

[summer folio]

Sounds interesting!
I just folded the backseats down to level & folded out my King Size mattress in my BMW Touring(wagon)

[vapid smelt]

Did you taco the mattress?

[summer folio]

I did, in fact, taco the mattress.

[dreamy rose]

there were a few from a little known car company called Holden. one of the most iconic examples in the Sandman.

[graceful burrow]

Isn't holden known in aus

[dreamy rose]

that one got put in the us as a Chevy. without the massive Canopy you could put on the back.

[summer folio]

Hmm, I think I had a Queen size actually, 160 cm.

[manic torrent]

yes. stopped making cars locally though

[vapid smelt]

I got a queen mattress in this (came vacuum sealed in a box) 😆

Totally not cheating

[summer folio]

Damn, those looked epicc

[bold sedge]

Heard of them, but never thought of buying one

[summer folio]

Hmm, how do you roadside power-nap in a Sedan?
fold yourself in half in the backseat?

[vapid smelt]

Bench seats front and back

Stick your feet out the window ez pz

[dreamy rose]

then you take the Canopy off and Slap a chev badge on it and its an El Camino.

[wispy marsh]

I don't like cars, but square cars just look good to me

[dreamy rose]

weird these guys didn't take off really hard in the US.

[wispy marsh]

Nowadays every car feels like a big blob of slime with edgy speed curves

[fallen cedar]

Lancia Delta Integrale

[dreamy rose]

perfect fit for a certain 1994 arcade game don't you think?

[fallen cedar]

Uhhhhh

I'm drawing a blank

[hollow pulsar]

I’d drive a polygonal vehicle.

[low rain]

square cars look weird to me

[fallen cedar]

I fell in love with it because of Colin McRae PS2 games

[dreamy rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9_V_hO5xIw

[fallen cedar]

Yeah that's before my time, but still cool regardless

[dreamy rose]

i wasn't alive then either. but this is my jam. such a classic. shame i don't have real hardware

if i did i'd be playing the shit out of it.

[fallen cedar]

I have a small sim setup, maybe I can map it 😄

[dreamy rose]

absolutely can.

you just go looking for a Model 2 Emulator and a ROM. a tiny bit of configing and off you go.

[fallen cedar]

Well if I ever stop trying to actively murder my cpu I'll have a look at it, looks fun!

[dreamy rose]

dont just stop there, go play the best game in the platforms library too.

[fallen cedar]

Which is

[dreamy rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSCwz5uonFg

[fallen cedar]

Never seen that before but looks cool too

Also looks like it would be considerably more enjoyable after consuming copious amounts of psychedelics

[dreamy rose]

this game was the first to come out on the Model 2 hardware. therefore it was the first one to be drawn in real time 3D at 60FPS and with Texture filtering. CD quality Audio. and best of all it was able to be played in a group of 8. still holds up to this day near 30 years later.

[fallen cedar]

[dreamy rose]

i didn't mention it topped arcade sales in both 94 and 95 yet.

[fallen cedar]

Slow down there buckaroo

[dreamy rose]

then if the first one looks cool. wait until you see what 2 is like.

[mint abyss]

Can I connect a nas drive to my pc and store media files on it like a normal hdd? probably only writting on it once and maybe read a few gb of data daily

speed is not a concern

[graceful burrow]

It's just a hdd

They're just built for different scenarios

[forest valve]

Hey you know what kinda train this is?

[graceful burrow]

👀

Oh wow that's crusty

[dreamy rose]

2 is just. the original but they put a metal soundtrack over it, threw it on next gen hardware with smoke and fire effects. new car designs and slapped some new advanced and expert tracks onto it. (i think the soundtrack is the most interesting part because you get the Takenobu or the Dennis st james version. also just that the soundtrack in general really slaps.)

[graceful burrow]

Plenty of games have servers up still but never get played

[dreamy rose]

COD on Wii

yes. Cod is on the Wii. and yes you can still go online.

it sat there wasting for 5 years?

It’s like… super impressive for 2018. 👀

Yeah I couldn’t get over to her place then pandemic

8th gen intel.

[dreamy rose]

why did she not open it in 2018?

[polar fern]

She’s not tech savvy

Better to sit in box unused vs floating around the house getting dusty & damaged

It’s a IdeaPad 730S-13IWL

[dreamy rose]

true

[polar fern]

Core i7-8565U, 16 gig ram, 512 gig ssd. Backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, webcam, Dolby atmos sound

#audio-tech is the closest but idk if they have a list

[polar fern]

The ltt forum has tons of audio stuff & yeh

[dreamy rose]

actually here's a fun fact for you: you can download and play the latest Daytona USA. Sega fucked up and released the whole game online and now you can play it on your PC because ppl realised the cab runs windows embedded and can make it run perfectly.

[long briar]

I tried to make a list like ages ago. it's dead now. For mics I'd recommend going to podcastage server, tons of great people there

[vapid smelt]

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

[long briar]

oh wait ifg hahahaa

just type "podcastage" into the discord join server

[dreamy rose]

pretty sure the cab is an i3 3220, GTX 750Ti with 4GB of DDR3. you could build your own homemade cab. easily.

[long briar]

I agree with k669/t669, I disagree with the snowball

it's needlessly large and razer seiren mini (the only good razer product) is better

[fallen cedar]

I'm still pushing unholy voltages but thanks for the info! I'll have a look

[dreamy rose]

Sega has been a wild player over the years. but now they calmed down and dont celebrate the classics anymore. just Sonic now.

[wispy marsh]

I have the fifine 670

It's good value for what it is

[pliant karma]

lol yea I got the Hyperx Solocast just a cheaper version of their quadcast when it was on sale

Though I will say tap to mute has been a really handy tool when I needed it

This hits diff when read at 2 am

[last solstice]

I tried actually but the seever is tied to my name so a bit of a no go

[pure olive]

damn

[last solstice]

I actually have servers tied to my name that my friends are using

They are using it as some kind of ssh tunnel to access the web via the server. Idk how that works but cool ig

[timid meadow]

Mullvad

[last solstice]

Yea but then I would need monero

Wait i can mail them cash

[timid meadow]

Ye

[last solstice]

Hmmmmmmmmm

How fast does a packet of cash arrive at Europe from da states. Or do i even need to send it to europe

[pure olive]

its illegal to ship cash lol (not that it matters)

just beware of some mail worker who could steal it

[timid meadow]

No idea. I use paypal. Havent had a need to be serious enough with security with how easy it is to burn this account and get a new one

[pure olive]

could always do a paypal invoice

pretty secure

[timid meadow]

Actually now that i think about it itd be kinda hard to burn this account because i have homeserver stuff id need to reconfigure

[last solstice]

Then i would need to set up pay pal tho :[

Honestly my best bet rn is when my friends pay me back for the server I tell them to get me some of the web 3 money

What cpu and gpu do you reccomend for 4k60fps video editing? 5k budget

[lucid echo]

4090 & 13900k

[full fossil]

Shout out for the BOINC event, we have some prizes, 10 x 100USD LTTStore discount codes and 3 x 20USD Steam gift cards, so why not come get involved! Details over on the forum, link below.

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1500569-boinc-pentathlon-2023/

[clear frost]

knew it

[barren kindle]

4090 is really overkill and way overpriced, i was thinking a 4070 ti. And im leaning more toward AMD for the cpu, opinion on 7950x3D?

[clear frost]

pretty sure the 13900 does it better no?

[stray apex]

if price is not a concern
just get a 4090

[barren kindle]

ok maybe it is a concern, 5k budget

[stray apex]

you can still easily fit a 4090 there

[clear frost]

fr lol

[barren kindle]

really??

[stray apex]

as long as it's just the PC, anyways

[barren kindle]

arent they like 4000

[stray apex]

do you mean 5k for like, the entire setup?

[barren kindle]

no just the pc

[stray apex]

a 4090 is like $1700
they're expensive but not that expensive

[barren kindle]

in AUD thats like 3k

[clear frost]

OOH 😮 gg

[barren kindle]

and how much ram would i need

[stray apex]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y6C4rD

honestly, $5000 is such a high amount to spend on a desktop

[barren kindle]

also i dont want to use intel because theyre using LGA1700 which is getting discontinued

[barren kindle]

im 13 and i the original budget was 2.5k, but then if i get into this really fancy selcetive entry school i dont need to pay school fees

[urban yoke]

there is a github user named LinusTechTips, this isn’t actually LTT, right? because the content is… questionable

[barren kindle]

but i dont wanna spend too much money so realistically 3.5k is my budget

[stray apex]

what kind of school fees are 2.5k usd

[barren kindle]

its 2.5k aud for 5 years of schooling

[stray apex]

oh, you're not using USD
that means your budget is waaay lower than 5k usd

[barren kindle]

yea 3.5k aud

its about 2.5 k USD

so 4070 ti 7950x 64gb DDR5 ???

[stray apex]

is a 7950x3d even in your budget

it's like 1k aud or something

[barren kindle]

yea it is, the 7950x and 4070 ti is 2k all together

so i have 1.5k for the rest of the parts

[stray apex]

for a
motherboard
RAM
psu
SSD
Case

[barren kindle]

is that out of my budget 😅😅

[stray apex]

ehhhh

I'd go for more VRAM for editing high res video, I think

[barren kindle]

what gpu do you reccomend?

[stray apex]

https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/video-editing-workstations/adobe-premiere-pro/hardware-recommendations/

assuming you're using premiere
a 4070ti seems to be pretty decent, actually

also, intel has quicksync which can be useful for video editing

[barren kindle]

im using davinci resolve

[stray apex]

hm
I think radeon is supposed to be better for resolve, but radeon is also less stable overall

[full fossil]

Getting a Used quadro class card maybe a good shout here

lots of VRAM, lower power but also lower raster on average

[barren kindle]

im also gonna be gaming so good RTX is always nice

i either get a 4070 or 3090

4070's r really cheap in aus rn

[stray apex]

not really

they're MSRP, which is... fine, I guess?

[barren kindle]

this is so harddd gawd dammit

eh ill figure it out thanks for help

[full fossil]

are intel gpus good?

[stray apex]

yesn't

[barren kindle]

the upgrade path for intel is really bad tho

the socket that they use is getting discontinued sometime this year

[full fossil]

How much are A5000s on Ebay there? They have a mountain of VRAM and at least over here are the same price as a 4070 while performing around the same for lower power

[stray apex]

upgrade path doesn't matter

by the time you actually need to upgrade your cpu, the platform is probably going to be hopelessly out of date

games have been gpu bottlenecked for years

[last solstice]

I dont think there is a need to upgrade cpus any time soon tbh

Wait actually that was a bad take they are getting faster by like the 14%'s

[barren kindle]

theyre like 2.5k

[stray apex]

it doesn't matter

[full fossil]

Oof rip that idea then

[barren kindle]

yea lmao

[last solstice]

Idk I feel like cpus are kinda stuck ish

[barren kindle]

OH, opinions on 7800x3d???

[stray apex]

cpus aren't stuck, consumers just don't do a lot of CPU heavy loads

[ocean galleon]

guys is becoming a node provider for internet computer coin worth it, if yes how can i become one

[full fossil]

...

[last solstice]

I mean how much are they able to squeeze performance out of them though. I feel like they are using alot of clever tricks that they previously did not and its honestly kinda sick

[last solstice]

Its good

[chrome vector]

The only way I would ever buy a 4090 is used. Now that EVGA is gone there is no fucking way in hell I'm giving Nvidia my money, much less support their bullshit pricing and practices.

[stray apex]

a 7600 is around as fast as like, a 12900 in games or something

[stray apex]

your options are greedy assholes, incompetent, and teething issues
the gpu market is great

[last solstice]

Dang guess Moore's law aint dead

[barren kindle]

EVGA IS GONE??!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??! SINCE WHEN

[last solstice]

Aaa a year ago yea ?

[barren kindle]

NO WAY........

[last solstice]

Yeaaaaaa...

[twin stratus]

When you search this: 天安門廣場大屠殺 on sina weibo (Chinese blogging site), nothing shows up

[chrome vector]

I'd support 'incompetent' or teething issues before I support the greedy asshole. I have never owned an AMD GPU, the only AMD CPU I own I just won from LTT.

Now that EVGA has left the GPU market I'm done with Nvidia unless they stop being such a dumpster fire. I'm going used or AMD/Intel.

I swear to god if EVGA starts making GPUs for AMD or Intel Nvidia would have an extremely hard time ever getting me to buy one of their GPUs, I'd rather stick with EVGA.

[last solstice]

Explain what that means i dont read weird compact square lang

[stray apex]

evga just seems to want to be out of the GPU market entirely
which makes sense, the margins are probably shit

I do hope intel catches up in software

[chrome vector]

I literally bought a brand new in box EVGA 3090TI before the 40 series came out just to get the best possible EVGA gpu I could. Got it for a great price, too.

[stray apex]

their hardware already seems pretty competitive

[last solstice]

What if EVGA makes their own gpu 👀

[full fossil]

hi

[twin stratus]

天安門廣場大屠殺 translates to Tiananmen square massacre

Make it ez then

[twin stratus]

Human rights groups and the world still condemns what China did

[barren kindle]

gawd damn davininci resolve reccomended requirements r beefy asf

[chrome vector]

Yeah I know. And it makes me really sad. I really hope they reconsider in the near future. While I'm definitely an overspending performance idiot, I'd rather stick with EVGA regardless of who they're making GPUs for.

Until then, I'm just supporting EVGA in other ways. I don't think I'll ever buy a power supply from anyone other than EVGA

[last solstice]

Human rights groups condemned my country too. Except cant do shit about it since government kinda op ):

[twin stratus]

What's your country?

[stray apex]

I doubt they will
Nvidia's margins aren't going to improve as they continue to compete with their AIBs, and neither AMD nor intel are going to be big enough to compete properly anytime soon

[twin stratus]

👋 hello international community!

[stray apex]

unless battlemage is incredible I can't see intel being more than another AMD for a bit

[last solstice]

Na celestial where it at

[chrome vector]

I'm not saying for Nvidia, that bridge may be burned, because Nvidia are vindictive narcissists. I'm saying I hope they make them for AMD or Intel.

Like I said, if they do, Nvidia would be officially dead to me, instead of just in stasis as I see them now.

[neon mesa]

beating AMD is a low bar

[urban yoke]

is the “Warship” bot the moderation bot? i genuinely cannot tell lmao

[chrome vector]

AMD doesn't even seem that bad outside of 4090 class or ray tracing.

And ray tracing is still all but completely irrelevant at the moment

[stray apex]

AMD's problem is no longer hardware or software

AMD's problem is their shit MSRP

[tired glade]

Oh, my

[stray apex]

RDNA2 was almost good except the MSRPs were stupid

[chrome vector]

Still better than Nvidia's, but I agree

[tired glade]

Way better

[stray apex]

nvidia has the advantage that people actually want to buy nvidia gpus

[last solstice]

Hey its like down down now atleast

[tired glade]

Like ?

[stray apex]

AMD keep pricing their stuff like it's just as desirable as nvidia's, which is
wrong?

[neon mesa]

Intel already beat nvidia at ray tracing on the X60 weight class

[stray apex]

intel doesn't have an x60 gpu

[full fossil]

Before I say what I'm about to say, I have 6 GPUs and they are all team green. But AMD owe us nothing, their only obligation is to make as much money as possible for investors

[neon mesa]

their A770 is X60 equivalent

[stray apex]

no, it's supposed to be x70, the drivers are just really shit

[tired glade]

A770 is mid range GPU

[chrome vector]

Hope they step up like they did with Ryzen. But we'll have to wait and see.

Either way, my money is on Intel. I used to be an Intel fanboy (because they were literally the only company I knew)

[stray apex]

you don't get double digit performance increases from drivers alone if your base drivers were any good

[tired glade]

If 5080 will be 1500 and 8900xtx at 1000, not much worry

[neon mesa]

AMD's MSRP are no where "way better"
MSRP which is what AMD expect people to pay

[chrome vector]

Yeah but that's kinda the point though. It's really hard to make GPUs, they are improving fast

[tired glade]

Depends on region*

[neon mesa]

RDNA 2 prices are so good right now not because AMD did it out of good will but because they physically can't sell at their own MSRP

[stray apex]

yeah, I mean, this is pretty impressive for first gen

neck and neck with a 3060ti with rt six months ago

[tired glade]

Oh, 6 months old video

[full fossil]

Not really first gen, intel have been making GPUs are a very long time. They just had to scale up

For a*

[tired glade]

First gaming gen

[last solstice]

Igpu is very difff

[full fossil]

The basics of the technology is the same actually

[chrome vector]

Ikr. It might take them a bit longer to make 90 class silicon, but if there is a company that can do it, and quickly, it's Intel. I'm so fucking happy they are finally in the GPU market

[tired glade]

It's the same calculation, I won't call it the same thing

[stray apex]

I might buy battlemage just because when it comes out
even though my 3060ti is really more than enough

[last solstice]

I mean yea but like scaling up is kinda not exactly easy

[manic torrent]

yes, which is why it was possible

[tired glade]

It will be cheap, but will it be better than alternative?

[last solstice]

Especially since the igpu is made for alot more lighter window tasks and stuff less 3D render

And if they where the same the gpu drivers on ark wouldnt be so bad xause the intel igpu drivers are damn fine

[stray apex]

a770 is around 60/70 class if it's working properly, comes with 16gb of vram, and msrp is like $350
so probably

[tired glade]

You can render 3d imagines on CPU, it doesn't make CPU a GPU

[stray apex]

AMD bragging that their 16gb gpus starting at 500 like intel isn't doing 16 for 350

[full fossil]

Never said it was easy. Scaling is always hard. No matter what you look at. But it's not as if they have no experience making GPUs, and let's be honest they bought a lot of skill they needed to scale up. I really hope they smash it. Not because I'm an intel fan, but because Nvidia need putting in their place

[tired glade]

I am more, will they continue like that or Intel will be Intel?

[chrome vector]

I had a 3060ti, but I upgraded to a 3090ti before I even finished my build because of the EVGA announcement. It will be quite awhile before I upgrade because of that. (Like I said, I wanted the best EVGA GPU I could get, and got it at the right time for a great price)

But that being said, I will likely upgrade to an Intel GPU by that time, fingers crossed.

[stray apex]

why would they not?

[last solstice]

Mmm fair point they did hire alot

[tired glade]

Because we been here many times, from CPU to SSD

[full fossil]

For me, it will be a long time before I go intel for GPU, I have 4 systems and three are intel. but my main workload is folding which is CUDA accelerated so yknow

[stray apex]

intel's ssds are fine?
they sold them off, and now solidigm is pretty good
intel CPU struggled because silicon fabs are hard, but intel dgpu is on tsmc

[tired glade]

How their PSU going around?

[chrome vector]

Where is 3DFX with the Voodoo 25 to save the day?

[stray apex]

I don't think intel has made psus anytime recently
or at all

[tired glade]

And they are standard maker

[stray apex]

?

[urban yoke]

i assume they’re referring to the atx standard

[full fossil]

Looking forward to buying a new "Quadro" (I hate that they got rid of that naming) second hand, obviously, I ain't giving Nvidia money

[tired glade]

Let's talk about how Intel likes their switches

[barren kindle]

if i make a white pc build will a black mobo ruin the look?

[stray apex]

you mean atx12vo?
that's seen adoption in oem systems, but consumer hardware is going to take a while to switch

[full fossil]

Probably not

[chrome vector]

Pretty good CPU 👍

[last solstice]

I would eat this up if I see good mb and power supply options for it

[tired glade]

It was the best for money when it released

[manic torrent]

... do whatever you want

[full fossil]

Hello bob

[last solstice]

Im sorry 12 V rail ony and everything else gets more efficient ??? Sign me up baby

[pearl hill]

Anyone know anything about SCSI & LTO5 tapes?

[full fossil]

Yeah... But it makes everything else more expensive

[stray apex]

not gonna happen for probably at least a few years
I mean, intel could try to get mobo manufacturers to do some consumer ones for z890 or whatever, but a lot of people probably don't wanna buy new psus

[manic torrent]

ask your question

[chrome vector]

[full fossil]

You still need 5v, and 3.3v, just the conversion is done on the motherboard

[manic torrent]

ehhh notrly 3.3

[last solstice]

Oo yea. Evga platnum from 6 years ago prolly will last me 30 years right ?

1000 watts

[tired glade]

I give 10

[last solstice]

Barely being used cause its a 1080 + sky lake cpu

[pearl hill]

I just got my hands on a HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Series Library.
I even got 30x 3TB Ultrium LTO5 bands with it.

I wanna know if they go together.
The StorageWorks has SCSI (whatever that means) & I just wanna know if the bands work in this machine.

[last solstice]

10 more or 10 total ?

[tired glade]

And depends how good your house power system is

[last solstice]

I had this thing hooked up to a power conditioner (expensive one at that)

[tired glade]

Recommend replaced at 10 years mark, more like that

[full fossil]

And what load you are running it at

50% load will last longer than 90% load

[last solstice]

50%

Deffo not pushing to 90 its a sky lake cpu afterall

Its old stuff i still dono why i even have a 1000w in there

Way too over kill

[tired glade]

Skylake is 8 gen, right?

[full fossil]

Like I pull around 750 watts through my 1000w PSU and I'm planning to replace it soon, it's around 6-7 years old

[last solstice]

Oo shit go back 2 gens

[tired glade]

2700, my guess

[last solstice]

6th gen cpu

[full fossil]

Pentium D /s

[chrome vector]

Guys I got a PC you think it's over kill?

[manic torrent]

the library is just a library, the support depends on the drives in it

[tired glade]

That's relic and half

Rom, lol

[chrome vector]

To be fair, it's got some features that modern PCs don't have ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[urban yoke]

check page 17 of the manual (the storageworks manual)

[tired glade]

Windows 2001 money, really Microsoft?

[tired glade]

CD player isn't a feature

[chrome vector]

How else am I supposed to listen to my Aaron Carter CDs? 🤨

[tired glade]

Is it even in micro cd format?

[full fossil]

I remember installing Windows with 37 floppys, can't do that on a modern machine

[chrome vector]

Idk but it's got a Q, which is pretty cool

[barren kindle]

should i get 7900x instead of 7900?

[tired glade]

Clean it, looks good

[stray apex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0kZJxmRAvI

[full fossil]

no

[barren kindle]

y not?

[tired glade]

7900 is just a chiller version of 7900x

Save on cooler

[full fossil]

Because it just doesn't make sense, the x versions are kinda meh this gen

[barren kindle]

oh ok

[tired glade]

Waiting for windows 12 version

[stray apex]

x versions have literally never made sense

[full fossil]

Stupid high TDP for little gain

[barren kindle]

im adamant on getting a kraken z53 xD

[stray apex]

but this one in particular
just go into the bios and turn on PBO

[chrome vector]

Unironically though it's actually one of the computers at my job. I swear to god if they ever get rid of it I'm getting it off them.

[tired glade]

That's will be overkill

[full fossil]

I'm running a Ryzen 1700 @ 3.9Ghz...

[chrome vector]

I might buy one on Ebay though. There's some good ones

[barren kindle]

i need the lcd display tho. its looks so cool

[full fossil]

X version didn't make sense then, it doesn't make sense now

[pearl hill]

Hmm.. On my machine i got 2x Ultrium 960 drives.

[barren kindle]

what cpu cooler do you reccomend for an OC'ed 7900 then?

[stray apex]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/PKC4rD

dunno why you'd want a 7900
probably overkill

[barren kindle]

now we just gotta make it white

[barren kindle]

4K VIDEOOOO EDITINGGGGGG

whats not overkill then?

[stray apex]

you can edit 4k video on a modern laptop

[tired glade]

Get 6900xt , that's plenty for 4k editing

[barren kindle]

its a bit expensive tho

1.3k in AUD

[tired glade]

7900xt?

[barren kindle]

yea theyre both abt 1.3k

[tired glade]

4070 then

[stray apex]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/f3Vm6r

cursed white build

gentrification of PC hardware

[urban yoke]

which models? from what i can tell, inter-generational comparability isn’t the greatest

[stray apex]

wait
too much RAM

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/wGstPX

[tired glade]

Editing, can help

[stray apex]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/YTvdKp
also white gpu

literally more expensive for the white gpu

What’s better i5-12600K or ryzen 5 7700X?

[barren kindle]

b650 vs x670, whats the difference?

[stray apex]

one is amd
one is

[barren kindle]

one is what and which is amd

[stray apex]

b650 is amd
z670 is

[barren kindle]

WHAT IS Z670

[stray apex]

I don't know

[full fossil]

It is intel

[stray apex]

you're the one who brought it up

I don't believe intel has a z670 chipset

[full fossil]

Hmm...

So we gonna ignore my question then…?

[full fossil]

Well I'm going to ignore it now

userbenchmark is garbage
do not use userbenchmark

[sonic spruce]

No jokes please

[barren kindle]

is it??

[sonic spruce]

Actually light speaks the truth

[full fossil]

Yes it's like super biased

[barren kindle]

ive been using it all my life

[stray apex]

asking userbenchmark for cpu comparisons is like asking your crazy uncle who ruins family holidays about which politician is better

[full fossil]

The and is the better chip redish

[barren kindle]

what do i use then?

[full fossil]

In my opinion, but it depends on what workload

[stray apex]

benchmarks

[barren kindle]

can you send link pls

[stray apex]

you take the things you want to do with it, and then you look up benchmarks which compare them

[barren kindle]

oh ok

[stray apex]

for example, if I wanted to know if the 7700x or the 12600k was better as a space heater, I would look up the power usage of each chip in the workloads I plan to run

[polar granite]

Hio

[full fossil]

Cinebench and geek bench are usually okay, but more so cinebench

[stray apex]

synthetics are only good for a very general idea of performance, though
