[midnight idol]

unbiased user here;
I mean let's be real
the fact they were able to make it only a few more gb larger than base BOTW while making the map 3x larger with higher res textures is quite impressive

[stray apex]

totk is an incredible technical achievement

the art direction is also presumably excellent

and I assume it's a masterclass in game design with how everyone seems to love it

[midnight idol]

I have heard that too
also the mechanics are decent

[stray apex]

does it run on what is basically a shitty mobile phone? yes

that is, in a way, even more impressive

[midnight idol]

port it to my android

[fossil frost]

the fact that nintendo were so blatantly lazy and showed such contempt for their fanbase with recycling the map and many other things from one game to the next, yet people are still vehemently defending them and licking their arse about it, shows just how brainwashed nintendo people really are.. you are allowed to like the game but also dislike the fact that the company was lazy, you are allowed to like the game but still point out its flaws, you are allowed to like the game but still realise you have been charged full price for a DLC...

[midnight idol]

☠️

bro is mad at Nintendo

[fossil frost]

not really, just fanboy-ism in general

[dreamy rose]

mad like Nintendo bludgeoned his wife to death with a golf trophy.

[midnight idol]

I mean the same can be said about Nmidia

[fossil frost]

yes, and sony, and microsoft, and amd... and any other company that people try and use to fill the gap where their personality should be

[dreamy rose]

professionals have standards

[midnight idol]

that's like
every big Corp right there

[sterile jay]

guys check out the image i posted in #screenshots

[dreamy rose]

the only personality Sony has is making a console because of being greedy and failing to make a console accessory with nintendo.

[fossil frost]

are you saying that its impossible for both to be equally greedy in different ways?

[dreamy rose]

did they only start making consoles because they couldn't be greedy?

debatable.

[thin fjord]

no but i might start doing this

always wanted an excuse to use github

[ebon socket]

any1 wants 1 month free nitro? ya gotta be a new subscriber tho. its from the epic promotion. already got nitro so i cant use it

[near nymph]

Mhmm... I think maybe me

[ebon socket]

K

Lemme copy the link from the email rq

[ripe jacinth]

is there any particular risk by using a laptop charger (using usb type c) to charge a phone

[ebon socket]

To prove that its real, here is the email. Its in german tho

[near nymph]

Lol

[ebon socket]

Sent ya the link for the promo

[dreamy rose]

it always uses a low power until a phone or device asks for more it shouldnt be a problem.

[ebon socket]

The ones from lenovo never gave me problems. Those from terra... fried my old phone.

[dreamy rose]

i mean the cheap shit chargers are ones you don't trust in general so

[ebon socket]

Yeah.. Terra is crap in general too lol

Not only their chargers..

[heavy dust]

prices here are horrible

320$ more than msrp ona. 4090

300$ for a 3050

[dreamy rose]

Australia prices be like

[novel tendon]

Sigh

I hate cpu red light....

I hate it so much.......
It's my worst nightmare.....

[dull granite]

Wait, the RTX 3060 Ti is 400$???

[knotty oracle]

does anyone else feel like gaming hit a wall graphically in 2018?

like RDR2 looks better than alot of games coming out in 2023

[dreamy rose]

i mean path tracing is possible now.

[knotty oracle]

that is true

[dreamy rose]

its far more important and exciting than RT is. just need more power to get it there.

[knotty oracle]

is cyberpunk the only game with path tracing?

[dreamy rose]

i guess so at least for now

[knotty oracle]

interesting

i think im gonna Replay RDR2 today

[dusty rune]

after i lost my few hours of progress i cant anymore

i just reached valentine and lost it all

[neon mesa]

most interesting thing is the fact that ray tracing is actually the oldest method of light simulation

it is technically the simplest, however most computationally demanding which is why we have these other light baking methods

[knotty oracle]

@dusty rune yeah this happened to me aswell Rockstar launcher is just garbage lol

[dreamy rose]

exactly only because science needed to replicate the sun as accurate as possible. so they take the same logic.

[neon mesa]

they tried ray tracing on those shitty 80s computers before developing other light simulation methods for games that we now call "conventional"

imagine the speed on those lmao

[dreamy rose]

rt is similar, but its not the full boar. that would be PT.

and well PT would probably be the reason animated movies look so good.

[neon mesa]

AMD catched up on RT now, they just need to get the power situation sorted out and it will be epic

[dreamy rose]

hopefully RDNA 4 is that moment

[dusty rune]

not really catched up, 4080 beats the 7900xtx in RT

[white fractal]

I used to render single frames with programs like povray back then; hours for a 1024x768 sized frame.

[dreamy rose]

720p is a really hard resolution to run

[knotty pond]

Is 97% ssd health good for 7 years old ssd

[white fractal]

That wasn’t 720p even but yes

[dreamy rose]

its 768. higher res. but ok

[white fractal]

720p is a 16:9 aspect resolution. 1024x768 is square. Also the color depth then was muuuch lower

[dreamy rose]

more of a rectangle but close enough to square

[white fractal]

Right of course

[dreamy rose]

going from standard to wide just made a bigger rectangle.

[knotty pond]

Ultra ultra super giga chad wide

[dreamy rose]

then Ultrawide is just longer

[white fractal]

The pixel geometry of crts was different as well

[dreamy rose]

some computers had wacky pixels in general.

[white fractal]

My Sun monitor has a square viewing area but obviously not a square resolution

[dreamy rose]

wasnt it the Amiga that had tall pixels?

[white fractal]

Yup

But many other monitor brands did as well

[neon mesa]

not by much, so basically catched up
power is where AMD falls behind farrrr
250w on 4080 vs a staggering 350 on xtx

[dusty rune]

and they called the chiplet design crazy efficient..

ok every modern hardware is crazy efficient but

[dreamy rose]

more efficient in creation and designing of products.

[dusty rune]

ah

[dreamy rose]

and its also a first gen tech for GPUs anyway.

they'll figure it out soon enough.

[full fossil]

have an off topic question. how good is 50 pushups in a row?

[timid meadow]

Pretty meaningless unless you have something to compare it to. How many could you do a year ago?

[full fossil]

idk maybe 10

[near nymph]

Geez... GrapheneOS controversy. Louis Rossman mentioned the leader is unstable.

[timid meadow]

If its better then you could do last time you tried then

[dreamy rose]

a friend just msged me the video like 10 minutes ago lmao. bloody shame.

either way said friend is moving from graphene right away.

[timid meadow]

Havent watched it yet. Tldr?

[near nymph]

The lead dev is a fucking nut job.

[white fractal]

Reminds me of MurderFS

[dreamy rose]

developer with shit social skills treating people like ass and screaming at louis for "Ruining the projects name" when he left a comment on a video showing nasty conversations. dude used Autism as an excuse to attack people even

[near nymph]

He's a fucking narcissist

[dreamy rose]

good projects are ruined by shit developers a tad too often.

[white fractal]

Just fork and fuck’em if the project is good.

[full fossil]

who is the lead dev?

[dreamy rose]

that'd be good

[near nymph]

Daniel micay

[heavy dust]

Is the CPU usage supposed to be 16% on cinebench

Nvm it’s cause it’s single core

[near nymph]

Lol

[dreamy rose]

wasnt there a Minecraft launcher that met the same kind of fate. like, PolyMC or smth?

[full fossil]

wait is lunar still a thing?

mhm

[heavy dust]

definitely

why am i getting below average scores on my cpu and gpu

[timid meadow]

Running hot?

[dull tapir]

has anyone tried comparing 8bitdo and kingkong

wondering which one would be better for pc

[near nymph]

Dang... I was rly hoping grapheneos would have been legit...

Too bad Daniel is a wack job at the moment... I wanted to install it on my pixel 7 pro...

[dreamy rose]

if you want a controller for PC just buy an Xbox Series controller

[dull tapir]

i had it but it was really uncomfortable for me because it was so boxy and shoulder buttons were horizontal and vertical since i use index for R1 and middle for R2 at teh same time i have small hands

xb1 has much better buttons but ps4 has much better ergonomics but very bad mushy buttons

[timid meadow]

Ive heard ps5 controller is good if you wanna pay for something like REWASD

[dreamy rose]

those are playstation names but ok

[proper mica]

[dull tapir]

yes R1 for RT and R2 for RB

[dull tapir]

so far i find ps5 controller most comfortable and ps4 in ergonomics

but xb1 has much snappier and better triggers and buttons

i also hear 8bitdo and kingkong have better halo magnet sticks

[dreamy rose]

PS is fine as in Ergonomics but the controller feels like actual flimsy crap.

[dull tapir]

yes PS controllers feel so cheap but much better ergonomics than XB to me this is subjective

[dusty rune]

idk, i used a ps5 controller and it feels very well built

[timid meadow]

Ps4 not having a usb c model of their controller suuucckkksss

[dull tapir]

ps5 feels better than ps4

main reason is i have small hands and i use index = R1 and middle = R2 and xbox has very narrow horizontal and vertical triggers

[knotty oracle]

whats yalls favorite assassins creed game

for me AC2

[dusty rune]

i use the same finger for r1 and r2 cause its just nicer

[dreamy rose]

and there's really a reason they didn't change up the controller from One to Series. if it doesn't suck don't break it.

[timid meadow]

Whichever one was on ps2. I dont remember

[dull tapir]

depends story ezio trilogy by far but gameplay is better in black flag and origins

[dull tapir]

was that not prince of persia

[timid meadow]

That rings a bell

[dull tapir]

i had both XB1 and XBX if i remember correctly

[knotty oracle]

nice

[dull tapir]

i got them from amazon and returned them

but i only own pc so using something for emulation

i really dig 8bitdo since kingkong looks just like xbox controller

i just worry buttons might be squishy as on ps controller or mushy

[timid meadow]

Ye you right. It was prince of persia sands of time. No wonder i downloaded like 4 ac games tryina find it XD

[dreamy rose]

how are the 360/Wii U pro controllers for you?

[dull tapir]

they actually made prince of persia into AC it was first called prince of persia not AC but they changed name and story

[heavy dust]

Definitely not

[dusty rune]

bad silicon

[heavy dust]

I’m running on low 50s with 100% usage

[timid meadow]

thats why it felt so close but not quite right. I didnt mind the bits of the various ac games i played, they just felt different

[heavy dust]

what

[dull tapir]

360 was far too thick but i have not tried any nintendo ones so far i just know that i prefer PS4 and PS5 ergonomics over XB1 and XBX but i would get XB over PS just because they have snappier and less mushy buttons i also really liked PS2 and PS3 controllers i have small hands like 17cm or 20cm so i like more thinner and straighter

[heavy dust]

is it a big problem or fixable

[dull tapir]

today i went by the store and saw switch controller which seemed much smaller and flatter looked more comfortable

also analog sticks on xbox are so deep and small for some reason

[dreamy rose]

Switch pro?

[dull tapir]

yes i held it only once but felt much more comfortable

because controller was smaller but buttons were bigger and flatter

[dreamy rose]

get that one then Sony controllers on PC are really shit to get working.

[tired glade]

It's plug and play

[timid meadow]

We need a modern wii controller. Im thinking one of these premium brands can make one. Standard brick and nunchuk, maybe wireless. But i was thinking premium brand because you could swap the dpads for sticks on either side

[dull tapir]

i know PS4 was so hard to keep consistent while XB1 was just connect and use

[dreamy rose]

with extra paid software? no thanks

[dull tapir]

it went fine but i had to use some software for it

[tired glade]

You don't need extra software

[dreamy rose]

Proof?

[tired glade]

PS4 and PS5 controller is plug and play

[tired glade]

I am doing that everyday

[dreamy rose]

Nintendo is the same.

[dull tapir]

i had to use some binding software idk which

[dreamy rose]

just connect and play

[dull tapir]

but you need steam right

[timid meadow]

Usb c to charge. Maybe even with standard 18650s inside so its user servicable AA or packs like the wii already could

[dull tapir]

if i open steam on pc while having controller plugged it my mouse jumps around and clicks same keyboard

i am not able to use steam while plugging in controller

[dreamy rose]

AA > glued in

[tired glade]

Oh,that you call a problem

[dull tapir]

and i turned all controller settings off on steam

[timid meadow]

You right packs exist too

[dull tapir]

only helps if i close steam

brb i am cooking

[tired glade]

Turn off controller use

[full fossil]

where am i supposed to shitpost

[dreamy rose]

yeah so if XB doesnt work for you then go Switch Pro

[tired glade]

Anywhere

[timid meadow]

Honestly a dedicated shitpost channel might do this server some good 🤷 let the kids run their energy out in the playground

[fossil frost]

children cant follow the "no shitposing" rule, what makes you think they will follow the "you are only allowed to shitpost in this channel" rule?

[heavy dust]

shitposts are supposed to get attention, what’s the point of shitposting in a channel that gets no attention instead of the one that gets all the attention

it’s like shitposting for no reason

[timid meadow]

On the other hand tho if you dont give clowns a stage, they perform on the streets. Other people who find it funny will congregate there

Thus giving them the attention they desire

[tired glade]

Not always

[heavy dust]

Ok

[timid meadow]

👀👀👀

Please dont fuck it up please dont be bad....their gunna fuck it up arent they.....

[dull tapir]

wait is this a remaster

sand of time was their first title

[timid meadow]

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/prince-of-persia-sands-of-time-remake-still-in-conceptual-stages-amid-development-struggles/1100-6514506/ nooooooo

[wispy marsh]

Sands of time, hands of mine

[timid meadow]

Remake, not remaster. They specified

[dull tapir]

i really hate the fact that i find xbox controller uncomfortable because compatibility on windows is so good and build too but button placement and shape is awful for me

i hear switch controller is really cheap but really comfortable this is why i am thinking about kong and 8bitdo 8bitdo makes official controllers for xbox and switch while kong people say is even better but has identical shape to xbox controller

[wispy marsh]

You have fat finger?

[dull tapir]

i have short fingers and small hands

17cm from palm to end of middle

[wispy marsh]

Ah, I see

[dull tapir]

and 20cm from pinky to thumb

so xbox feels quite thick and boxy

but main issue i have with xbox controller are trigger buttons

i like to use index finger on R1/RT and middle finger on R2/RB

i do not rest my index finger between R1 and R2 like a lot of people with bigger hands do

this is what i hate about it xbox has like RT horizontal and thin and RB vertical

[timid meadow]

Originally slated for release in.....2021.... 😦

[dull tapir]

sad remakes usually go far worse than remasters

did you see mirage gameplay trailer

it was released a couple of days ago

it looks just like valhalla since it uses same engine which is my least favorite game from franchise

[tired glade]

Oh,they making new one

[full fossil]

tbh i kind of wonder in what direction the doom franchise will go

[timid meadow]

Thank you for helping me find a small piece of my childhood. Got all the prince of persia pc series downloading now 🙂

[dull tapir]

i hope better than serious sam

how they massacred my boy "duke nukem forever" has any of you guys tried leaked alpha 2001 not 2011

[full fossil]

same rbh doom eternal was fire asf but now something called the might doom relesd idk why

[timid meadow]

Tfw your gigabit download is capped by someone elses non existant upload speed

[tired glade]

That's normal, you will used to it

Internet is overrated anyway

[timid meadow]

I know, im more then used to it. Just not fun downloading at .5mbs

[heavy dust]

My friend dating someone that looks like his sister

[full fossil]

oh god

[dull tapir]

it was so well optimized and fun but it got a little repetitive

i also like new indie retro shooters you know like dusk and such

[wispy marsh]

Prodeus is nice

[full fossil]

yeah agreed i just beat that game and i love the combat and all but as you say gets kind of repetitive

[dull tapir]

omg prodeus has best combat ever

shooting there is so satisfying

[tired glade]

Attraction is a weird combination of your hormones and your liking

[heavy dust]

it makes me feel weird

[full fossil]

same

[heavy dust]

it’s basically just thinking your sister is attractive in an other way

[dull tapir]

evolutionary biology suggests you are attracted to smells and looks of humans who will be your most likely healthy genetic partner for your offspring

yes it is genetic and caused by environmental factors

[dusk condor]

is it like an LTT channel feature to not have their videos saveable to playlist and all those other buttons?

[dull tapir]

this is what happens in most fps games unless they reward you with progress and changes

i am playing divinity original sin now

[tired glade]

Keyword - suggests

[heavy dust]

like you’d be more attracted when she is not your sister?

i’m confused what do u mean

[dull tapir]

well ones you find most attractive are by probability theory most likely for you to have healthy combination of dna for your offspring

this is how natural selection allegedly worked before we developed more self awareness and pattern recognition

it makes sense if species will be attracted to mates that will result with healthy offspring than opposite

because those will more likely survive natural selection

they did experiments on adopted kids with their biological relatives and they rarely found them attractive

which would suggest this is true someone who will not be able to produce healthy dna will be less attractive to you

it is not concrete just an observable pattern in biology

huberman who is neurologist or biologist made great article on this how human brain is wired through senses for such patterns of liking

[heavy dust]

what

oh

but what does adoption do this in this case

[dull tapir]

adoption in this case proved there was no subjective bias with relatives

because if you ask someone who knows someone is their relative then they will use subjective bias

you know since animals mate with their relatives

but humans do not since it is cultural so there is attached bias when you interact with your relatives

[heavy dust]

bro u keep talking boy just make it simple

[dull tapir]

my bad i usually get too deep and specific since it was my major

[neon mesa]

it's quite easy to understand

[heavy dust]

i know it is

[dull tapir]

nature just made you be more attractive to someone who has compatible dna with you so you will have healthy child not like your relative

[heavy dust]

but why write allat

[dull tapir]

because it is a very specific and detailed science around it

if you really want to pinpoint the concrete factor

chemistry reacts while biology responds but it is all based on cause and effect

it is all encoded in your organic dna

[dull granite]

yo what's happening in here

tf are you talking about

[dull tapir]

biology

hahah

[dull granite]

"suggests"

yeah that smelly t shirt was quasi experimental you know

also humans' brains are way more advanced than animals, there are a lot of more things to it

[dull tapir]

no huberman proved that same part for aggression is on same part from humans as from rats

aggression and domination are on different part than mating and disgust

everything you experience in your brain is biochemical

animals have different parts of cognitions advanced in much higher rates than humans but also humans have average majority of their brain more advanced but not everything

no offense but it would be really ignorant to say humans are much more than animals we all come from same ancestor

rats also have serotonin and dopamine as humans do

if biochemistry was fake or neurology for that matter there would be no antidepressants

free will is illusion due to our mental framework of our organic brain which works in cause and effects remember biology responds and chemistry reacts it is not objectively proven but this is as far as we know

[distant pivot]

Can't say this is what I expected from LTT's discord

[dreamy rose]

this chat isnt normal.

[brazen bobcat]

Bro following a behaviourist theory

[dreamy rose]

behavior is a big part of how we act but feelings is how we play those out.

[dull tapir]

i guess it is not common

idk if it is acceptable in public chat

behavioral biology is really important part since it is translated neurology

idk i studied biology before switching to computer science and bioinformatics

[tired glade]

Translated neurology?

Neurology is the medical sphere

[dull tapir]

neurology is exact science which is branch of medicine but based on biology and biochemistry

everything that behavioral biology and psychology are they are just translated to easier human understanding

psychology is just easier to comprehend and explain to general masses

it is like translating code of for loop and calling it for loop people will have easier time understanding it in simplified terms

[tired glade]

And the point is?

[low rain]

I just tried turning off my alarm by throwing my earbuds…

[tired glade]

Morning to you too

[dull tapir]

nothing we are just discussing it

you asked what i meant by translated neurology

[past egret]

i dont think people realise that the tesla model s plaid is literally a spaceballs reference

[umbral pilot]

have you seen the Kurzgesagt discord by any chance lol

shit's willin

[past egret]

you got the memo so it did its job

[tired glade]

What spaceballs?

[gilded quest]

great movie

[tired glade]

Oh,star wars parody

[pliant karma]

lol yes great movie

[oak kindle]

you dont know that what

[lucid echo]

why is it always the folks writing massive unilateral essays the ones also saying they’re “discussing” …that’s not how discussing works. You’re just doing a monologue.

[oak kindle]

you cant espouse that the mind is completely physical with certainty

[oak kindle]

LOL true

[lucid echo]

Picking other people’s comments to start a rant without asking/considering anyone else’s perspective is not a discussion. It’s a tirade

As someone with a degree in cognitive science, I also find it entertaining how confidently wrong they are

never change, pub chat, never change

[slim mirage]

people with degrees dont use discord though they use reddit or something smart idk i aint got a degree you see my valid point though?

[gilded quest]

I have an engineering degree

and i be on discord

[tiny saffron]

Get on discord and💀

[slim mirage]

yeah im gonna need the mythbusters to solve this one

[gilded quest]

except @pliant karma
panda isn't an asshole

[finite cloud]

[slim mirage]

well a few of them one left that used to piss me right off

[umbral pilot]

could say the same as a counterpoint

[slim mirage]

its not you either 🤔

[gilded quest]

Coopa?

[finite cloud]

I’m that one guy with a blue name

[slim mirage]

bruh your looking into it too much

[slim mirage]

fuck off lol

Aldonist probably

[slim mirage]

THATS THE ONE

[lucid echo]

fuck, you’ve proven everything i’ve ever said to be wrong. well played, sire

[slim mirage]

grinds my gears that guy

[finite cloud]

Looks like you don’t have a degree after all

[dusty rune]

so, how did you become a blue name then

[gilded quest]

is it too late to get a refund for that degree?

[slim mirage]

degree people use the LTT forum or something

[gilded quest]

I'm an asshole who has a spare $3/month

[slim mirage]

its $3?

[finite cloud]

Money (subscribe to floatplane and link discord)

[lucid echo]

got a job with this fake degree

it was $3 if you got in early like a crypto pump n dump

[gilded quest]

been subbed since the vessel days

[umbral pilot]

"back in my day"

[slim mirage]

only thing putting me off floatplane is watching it at my pc just not my thing suppose it couldnt hurt now and again

[umbral pilot]

when humanity rubbed 2 sticks to make fire, i was there on floatplane watching fire

[lucid echo]

it’s available on mobile and can be casted to smart tvs i think

tbh i don’t use it much. at this point it’s for access to the refined, high class discord channel

[slim mirage]

on the mobile app can you cast to devices or would you have to screen mirror?

ah you answered my very question

[gilded quest]

Android supports google cast

idk about the ios app

[slim mirage]

even if i have to plug a stinky chromecast in to my fire tv its better than sitting at my desk 💀

alright i shall purchase one singular float plane

[gilded quest]

I chromecast floatplane from my phone all the time

[dusty rune]

watching the invention of fire with improved bitrate

[gilded quest]

floatplane even has a fireplace

[slim mirage]

see you guys should be sales people for floatplane

[gilded quest]

eh, the yule log video no worky

[slim mirage]

the supporter plus is basically just 4k access right?

[gilded quest]

jfc

[pliant karma]

👀 hi lol you have not seen my asshole side but I shall not show it here at all.

[lucid echo]

iOS can cast too

[tired glade]

Oh,80 GB of fire place

[gilded quest]

yes*
Supporter Plus might get some additional bonuses for LTX, but i don't know for sure

[slim mirage]

and they support paypal wow very epic

[gilded quest]

i don't have enough ssd space to even download the fireplace video

[graceful burrow]

Isn't it on YouTube

[gilded quest]

not at the same bitrate
smh

[faint schooner]

Will do

[gilded quest]

i've never used my macbooks headphone jack

[faint schooner]

I have a M1 Pro

[gilded quest]

its on the wrong side of the laptop

plus airpods pro

[slim mirage]

Facebook marketplace, gumtree, eBay, Craigslist and you try sell on discord you even get seller protection with eBay

[pliant karma]

oh lol yea someone I knew in my TV Prod class brought their Senshieser HD800 to class so I was like gimme

[lucid echo]

I think I've used my fancy m1max DAC like once

[pliant karma]

give or take 300ohms, but my mac handled it nicely

[faint schooner]

Thank you for your input @slim mirage

[lucid echo]

My senny's are always connected to my external dac anyways

[faint schooner]

@lucid echo do the M1 Pro have Dac?

[slim mirage]

i swear samsung fridges have dacs these days

[lucid echo]

my fav band has a lyric about PUBG that made me cringe hard. it’s so out of place for them

[gilded quest]

Eh, one of my fav bands has a song themed around The Office

[dreamy rose]

at least its not Fortnite.

[slim mirage]

weezer?

wait.. dont tell me your fav band is weezer

[dull tapir]

according to all doctors and biologists this is what it is everything else is pseudoscience

only heard that for the first time yesterday thought the office song was based off of this

I was going to get a 4070 but heardd they are overpriced is there a similar card but cheaper?

[dreamy rose]

68/900XT is probably a decent idea,

[dreamy rose]

499 for a 6900XT Used and 460ish for a 6800XT used is pretty neat if you can find em.

[gilded quest]

[solar mountain]

Im looking into amd cards and I might get the 7900xtx whats the difference between an nvidia card?

[gilded quest]

spotify

[solar mountain]

because the 4070 is just way too expensive for its specs

[gilded quest]

most 40 series is too expensive

[dreamy rose]

its a decent buy though some will desperately try steer you away to a 4080. Nvidia is basically only useful if you do Excess amounts of productivity or wanna snob with RT even though RDNA 3 does it just fine. Radeon isn't buggy as all hell anymore.

if the price was lower it would be best. but we dont have that yet.

I have read every single publication in academia, and decided that one of the most hotly-debated topics of humanity is actually completely solved. No further questions.

Homie clearly hasn't even read 'What Mary Didn't Know'. That shit is like 1101 material

[timid meadow]

To an extent yea. You dont really have to trace every single thought and emotion to something, thats just how our body works. Your brain fires off chemicals and sparks of electricity and makes you do the human

[dull tapir]

yes this is called neurology

[timid meadow]

Now how and why it does that is still the unknown

[dull tapir]

you are not able to track emotions because they are product of biochemistry

this only exists within your framework of consciousness

behind that you are organic computer

[timid meadow]

You can to an extent. Different emotions are caused by different chemicles and where those chemicles effect the brain

[dull tapir]

why do you think pills like antidepressants because we know emotions are only product of hormonal balance

[lucid echo]

Someone just finished the exam to their Intro to Psychology course

[dull tapir]

true well emotions are product of organic process like software is product of hardware

[dull tapir]

no i studied 3 years of genetics

psychology is not really exact science

psychology is closer to pseudoscience

maybe you can check huberman he explains greatly how rat brains and human brains share same pattern in aggression and mating

[oak kindle]

so if i think about my dog, you can trace that exact thought to every single individual neural process that creates it, and furthermore reverse engineer that to derive thoughts from neural imaging?

[strange elk]

Aggressive mating

i dont believe thats possible, if you have evidence of that id be interested to see it though

No. He needs a GPU.

I think you're confused.

[slim barn]

Not in the slightest.

[lucid echo]

CUDA, infamously not related at all to GPUs

[full fossil]

CUDA is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface that allows software to use certain types of graphics processing units for general purpose processing, an approach called general-purpose computing on GPUs. If he did need it then he would need the 4070 TI.

[wispy marsh]

I believe in my own confirmation bias, so no, it’s not

[dull tapir]

you can reverse engineer everything if you have evolved enough system

you can measure impulses on brains you have cat scans ray scans and so on we studied this in college

what else would make you think other than organic matter if you damage oyur eye you do not see because you damage organic neurological path to your brian

believing there is free will and soul is like believing unicorn or genie will grant you magic wishes

@digital dock 'What Mary Didn't Know' by Jackson is a nice lil' essay that you might find interesting. More-or-less puts your thoughts into a very fun rebuttal of physicalism

There are many thoroughly-discussed arguments why this may not be true. It's an assumption, and no concrete proof to say otherwise.

Anyone know how to get switch games for cheap?

[graceful burrow]

thrift shops

[tepid bolt]

tell people you own them and ask for them online

[graceful burrow]

or wait for sales

[echo canopy]

The only reason we don't is due to its complexity.

[lucid echo]

Still, an assumption

Making that claim is logically impossible to prove, based on how it's structured

[dull granite]

set off sailing ship on the sea and get scurvy

[echo canopy]

There is no reason why it would be impossible therefore its easy to infer it is possible.

We just don't have the resources yet to prove it

[lucid echo]

Like I said, there are lots of reasons, it has been discussed for decades, you're just not aware of them.
Which in itself is a demonstration of why it's an assumption

[sacred fossil]

[sacred fossil]

Not necessarily but I don’t want to spend a lot on a game I already have. I don’t play it much on Wii U cause it looks bad

[fossil frost]

go to a shop that sells it, find the person who works there, stab them, and take the game

[stoic beacon]

That's absurd for Nintendo games...

[graceful burrow]

looks the same between wiiu and switch kek

[stoic beacon]

The game looks the same on either console. But it certainly runs better on Switch.

[sacred fossil]

Does it? I mostly play on the game pad so I think it’ll look much better on my switch lite

you arent giving nintendo money if you're buying it off ebay

[long briar]

Should've made it glossy and IPS like literally everything else in its time

[echo canopy]

The gamepad looks fine especially for the era it came out and how "cheap" it was

[stoic beacon]

Nintendo's thing is sort of releasing garbage hardware and knowing people will still buy it no matter what. They're somehow a worse Apple.

[stoic beacon]

More than can be said about the Switch OLED and Switch

[lucid echo]

The game is TotK

[long briar]

depends on how small, I'd say I have medium sized hands and can use it fine

[graceful burrow]

my hands cramp when using the switch lite

and even the regular switch to an extent

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I have medium hands, and the Lite feels terrible

[long briar]

what's your hand size from wrist to top middle?

[sacred fossil]

I’ve also got some problems with my modded Wii U I’d like help with. I put a post on the tech support page if anyone knows much about modding consoles

Looking it up, you need roughly 8.25", which still isn't that large

[long briar]

It isn't large

Just on the bigger side of medium

[stoic beacon]

Now 6.69, which was yours, is very small, which makes sense why the Switch Lite doesn't feel like crap to you

[long briar]

I'm also very short so

[stoic beacon]

The only Switch that feels comfortable for me to play handheld is the OLED, and even it is a little small

[heavy dust]

kombuster

the one that comes with afterburner

[long briar]

yea.... tho I'm average for where I'm from

Yes I know what kombuster is, if it's stable and temps are fine and you aren't hitting power limit you could try for more

[winged yarrow]

I think I need to get a new monitor, something maybe a bit bigger and with higher brightness, because for the life of me, I can't see what your point is.

power limit of gpu or psu?

[long briar]

gpu

[fossil frost]

height, or depth?

[heavy dust]

it’s at 82c

[long briar]

probably both

[heavy dust]

i think 40mhz is possible

[long briar]

that's not power, that's thermal

[heavy dust]

i increased power limit to 105%

you said aslong temps are fine

[long briar]

in afterburner power Lim is either 0 and 1

if max ever reaches 1, you're hitting power Lim and can't go higher without undervolt or bypass

[heavy dust]

i put it on 105% tho

no voltage or anyhing

[long briar]

you ignored half my statement. Thanks for showing you can't read instructions, i can't help you.

[heavy dust]

i know

[long briar]

go to #overclocking check pins and figure it out yourself

It's your card, the testing procedure is the same, just figure it out yourself

[heavy dust]

i’m not looking for help

you took that really personal

Petition for a review on the skullcandy crusher evo

[graceful burrow]

Isn't skull candy like
Crappy budget stuff

[still light]

They're skullcandy headphones. They're "fine"

Skullcandy has always been good for me

[lethal copper]

Is internal ~80 MB per second (not mbps) and wired connection for PC good enough to have game streaming in home internet?

[stoic beacon]

Yes, assuming it's wired on the other end as well

[dull granite]

skullcandy?

sounds like a cool name

[lethal copper]

Kinda thinking about streaming from desktip to steam deck

[stoic beacon]

Works well, if the Deck is docked with ethernet

Otherwise, it's not great, as you can definitely feel the input lag as well as the resolution downscaling

[long briar]

yessir

[long briar]

outdated, sounds like every other garbage pair of headphones out there

I'd be more interested in Linus re-reviewing hd6x0, or doing a blind headphone comparison sorta like their keyswitch comparison

[drifting eagle]

yea

but tbh the crusher evo's are pretty good(since they are not like the 2015(?) Crusher Wireless)

[stoic beacon]

If it says Skullcandy, it's bad.

[long briar]

comparing popular audiophile and consumer stuff like hd6x0, focal elex, some sort of hifiman (they honestly mostly sound the same in the mid - low end), they could even do it as a partnership with drop

[drifting eagle]

and also ive had a pair of JBL Tune500 BTs

[long briar]

crusher wireless were 2016 I believe, and evo was 2017

[drifting eagle]

and my ears hurt after a few hours of use

[long briar]

I can't wear any of those headphones

[drifting eagle]

evo was i think 2020

[long briar]

oh it was 2020

[drifting eagle]

the 360's were prolly 2016-2017

[long briar]

still

Skullcandy are all pretty bad.

[stoic beacon]

This is where you can go to find out how good headphones are, especially for the price

https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/

[drifting eagle]

ehh also depends on what device you have ahem Apple ahem

[long briar]

Yes vibration scientifically does increase bass immersion and clarity but, its supposed to be a controlled vibration, like a sub, not a fucking vibrator on your head

[long briar]

Apple is unironically good ish

[stoic beacon]

It matters more on the DAC you have. Since Apple no longer has headphone jacks, it's LDAC, as far as I know, and Apple's is excellent compared to most phones.

[long briar]

they have some good products unlike skullcandy

[stoic beacon]

In fact, AirPods are better than Skullcandy, funnily enough

[drifting eagle]

i was talking about the user experience of using Skullcandy headphones on Apple devices

[long briar]

Apple uses AAC, but a very high bitrate version where it is still plenty detailed. The magic is their 8 dollar dongle that shockingly has a very clean output

[long briar]

it's the same regardless

[drifting eagle]

tbh my mom had a pretty bad experience with skullcandy

[long briar]

Beats studio buds and solo pro are shockingly not bad for what they are

[fossil frost]

you shouldnt be shocked at something being not shit, when it costs as much as they do

[long briar]

far better than the solo 3 and studio that came before em

[drifting eagle]

keep in mind, my mom just needs headphones that work

[stoic beacon]

Beats have come a long way from where they were. Initially, they were overpriced e-waste. Now, they're overpriced almost e-waste

[stoic beacon]

And she has an iPhone?

[drifting eagle]

yep

[long briar]

I am surprised, because the beats studio buds aren't even expensive

[stoic beacon]

Then get her AirPods.

[heavy dust]

calm down it’s not deep

[drifting eagle]

do i look like im made out of money

im from eastern europe

all i can afford are budget products

[stoic beacon]

What is your budget then?

[drifting eagle]

rn its like 100 ron(im a teenager who is not in high school yet)

[long briar]

also from me being an audiophile perspective: Most consumer devices are tuned for what people think they prefer which is a shitton of bass. Late beats and Apple products avoid this trend while many audio focused companies are releasing things that follow that.

although airpods max have nowhere enough treble, ends up being rather dark

But it's again, not horrible unlike some headphone makers (hi Sennheiser)

[fossil frost]

yes, but beats are supposed to be a premium product with a premium price, yet are still just cheapo plastic shit with weights in them, and mid range audio quality

[drifting eagle]

and the nuraphones and sc crushers embrace that

[stoic beacon]

Sennheiser is horrible?

[long briar]

Beating midrange audio quality is very hard. Beats are also not a premium product and their studio buds say that

[drifting eagle]

and modern day "AKG" (Smasnug)

[fossil frost]

they claim to be premium, and are priced as premium

[long briar]

it's just they had celebrity hype behind them before... now that's raycons

[still light]

Premium price for a mid tier device for sure

[long briar]

yep

Every single one of their closed back headphones are garbage, they have like 6 headphones total that are good

[stoic beacon]

Well, you just permanently ruined your reputation on anything audio related on this discord. Bummer lol.

[stray apex]

beats aren't a premium product, though?
they're very much consumer stuff

beats aren't even consumer premium

[fossil frost]

yes, i know they are not premium, but they claim to be premium, they are marketed as premium

[stoic beacon]

I think the Beats Studio are supposed to be consumer premium, at $350

[stray apex]

studio3 are like 200

[long briar]

I even have objective data to back it up. If you ask #audio-tech They'll know who I am

[drifting eagle]

misleading name tho

Beats "Studio"

[stoic beacon]

https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/

Again, compared to Crinacle, you are nothing.

[stray apex]

sennheiser hasn't made anything good in years

[long briar]

someone who doesn't like most planars, a fan of the Sennheiser Hd600, etc.

[stray apex]

well, okay, I think one of their earbuds was decent

[long briar]

oh for sure, few match him. But tell me, how many Sennheiser headphones are well rated on that ranking table?

[stoic beacon]

The question was more comparing Apple and Beats to Sennheiser

[stray apex]

apple unironically better

[drifting eagle]

y'all remember the Samsung Buds Live?

[long briar]

the ones I'm aware of is 6x0 and 800/s being up there, 560s and maybe hd580 (may not have rated but is basically an Hd600) and he1

[stoic beacon]

No, there's about 6 Senns that are ranked higher than the AirPods Max

[long briar]

Find me a single closed back Sennheiser that's well rated by an audiophile

[stray apex]

yeah, and they were probably all designed by axel grell seventy years ago in west germany

[still light]

Define "audiophile" though

[stoic beacon]

Sorry, 8 Senns that are better than Apple.

[long briar]

lemme guess, 600, 650, 800, 800s, he1, 560s

[still light]

The most common and basic ones?!

[long briar]

Yep.

[stray apex]

he-1
common
basic

[long briar]

because it's all they have to offer now that's not garbage

[drifting eagle]

prolly like AKG

[long briar]

I don't count pc38x because it's technically epos

AKG is a bit of a weirder story

[stray apex]

AKG is doing great as samsung

[drifting eagle]

ehhh

[still light]

Tbh 9/10 people will not be able to tell an audible difference outside of something that xan be fixed with an equalizer in any given headset/phones that are of decent quality.

[drifting eagle]

the Buds Live were kinda ehhh

[stoic beacon]

2017
2013
2004
2009
2020
2019

[long briar]

either way, I have not ruined my reputation by saying that Sennheiser is bad. EVERY SINGLE closed back from them has been disappointment after disappointment

[drifting eagle]

"active noise cancelling"

[long briar]

HD280 pro is one of the most overhyped piece of garbage in recent times

[stray apex]

so they've had... three not shit releases in the past ten years

[stoic beacon]

It would be different if you couldn't buy the old ones anymore. But saying Beats/AirPods are superior to everything Sennheiser makes is braindead.

[long briar]

I didn't say that

[stoic beacon]

If the goalposts were originally "better than everything made in 2023," then I'd agree, but we don't move goalposts here, do we?

[long briar]

Sennheiser has a grand total of maybe 10 or 11 headphones that have been good in the past 100 years

[drifting eagle]

he meant closed backs (i think)

[long briar]

compared to how many they've released?

[stray apex]

sennheiser is generally just considered to be sort like
dying, I guess?

they peaked with the 600

[stoic beacon]

I fail to see how the ratio matters. The original comment was comparing the flat quality of them. Apple has released 3 good audio products of their 9 or whatever. Who cares? They're still worse.

[stray apex]

apple doesn't even claim to be an audiophile company

[drifting eagle]

how did we go from talking about skullcandy to now talking about ol' mate senny (had to slide in a dankpods reference ,sorry)

[stray apex]

nobody thinks that the airpods 3 are supposed to sound great

[long briar]

Sennheiser has been releasing a bunch of closed backs that all suck. their tws sucks, some of their IEMs are ok

[stoic beacon]

"although airpods max have nowhere enough treble, ends up being rather dark
But it's again, not horrible unlike some headphone makers (hi Sennheiser)"

Was referring to this idiocy right here.

[stray apex]

yes
sennheiser
is not popular among audiophiles

because sennheiser keeps releasing trash

[stoic beacon]

But that's not what the original comment was. The original comment was that AirPods Max were better than what Sennheiser makes.

[oak kindle]

most audiophiles wouldnt know trash if it hit them in the face

[stoic beacon]

It doesn't matter what they're releasing if what they already have is still better.

[oak kindle]

both garbage

[stray apex]

airpods max are absolutely better than most of sennheiser's headphones

[stoic beacon]

I agree. But not all.

[stray apex]

sennheiser has a lot of shit headphones lol

[lucid echo]

something something AAC Bluetooth bitrate

[oak kindle]

they dont really have any good ones

[stoic beacon]

And so does Apple.

[stray apex]

no?

apple has the airpods max, which were pretty okay
and uh
that's pretty much it

I guess you could say they also have beats studio whatevers, which are mediocre

[oak kindle]

earpods are decent but qc

[stray apex]

airpods pro are pretty decent just sound-wise
they're probably the best in terms of non-sound tech though

[lucid echo]

If they supported a lossless codec, I'd agree with you
This coming from an owner of both

[long briar]

aac is mostly ok with Apple, just don't use with any android phone

[lucid echo]

Yeah I have no issues with it personally

I've only noticed issues with particularly lush/dense songs

[drifting eagle]

ohh the og airpods

[long briar]

Wait have you ever heard pxc and the other bt headphones they make?

[drifting eagle]

those toothbrush looking boys

[long briar]

I was comparing to those... cause they're genuinely bad

[stray apex]

you'd figure that sennheiser would have great transparency mode or something now, what with being owned by a hearing aid company these days

unfortunately still nothing that competes with app2

[long briar]

the airpods max aren't good, but are far better than the abomination that we're senn bt headphones

[drifting eagle]

nah, really?💀

[long briar]

That's why I specifically called them out after mentioning airpods max

[stray apex]

yes

[long briar]

ye, Sennheiser consumer got acquired by sonova, health company

[drifting eagle]

BRUH💀

[long briar]

Sennheiser professional (mics) is still separate tho

[drifting eagle]

oh good

at least their mics are not as bad hopefully

[lucid echo]

It's an audio + hearing aid company, so it's not like it doesn't make sense at all

Oh just saw that context was mentioned above

[drifting eagle]

tbh i read that as being sarcastic

[lucid echo]

It's not like a surgical equipment company bought them, ya know? They were likely already working together

[drifting eagle]

yea, yea... Yep, totally normal, average stuff...

[lucid echo]

I'm usually the one being a sarcastic goober, but unironically yeah, it is very average corporate shit

[drifting eagle]

to be expected by a company

[dull granite]

does 'femme boy' or 'feminine young man' counts as filter evasion?

[lucid echo]

depends on the context, I guess?

[drifting eagle]

heck AKG got bought by Smasnug(if i recall correctly)

[dull granite]

because they got my bois banned

[dull granite]

AKG?!?!?

[drifting eagle]

yep

AKG>Harman International Industries>Smasnug

[dull tapir]

anyone knows if trigger buttons on 8bitdo feel like xbx or ps4

wonder if they are snappy or mushy

[ebon sand]

l1 and r1 feel like ds4. they don't click like an xbox 360 controller's. l2 and r2 are analog.

[fossil frost]

meh... factorio is such a time hole

went on it earlier for "20 minutes", been on for 3 hours

[polar fern]

Is a Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 6650 XT 8 GB for $274 a good deal?

[tired glade]

no

if new, yes, if used - it should be below 250

[fossil frost]

6600xt is a very good card for 1080p, 6650xt is even better and about the same price, so yes

[copper mantle]

guys which mouse should i get. the g203 g502 or razer baselisk v3. i play games like minecraft. (also program a lot)

[tired glade]

502

[fossil frost]

502

[copper mantle]

ok thanks

[long briar]

305 and mod the shit out of it

for programming probably 502 for macros

[lean ginkgo]

hey guys question, I have a DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz, if I get a stick that is 2133MHz would I have to downclock everything to the lowest frequency

[fossil frost]

yes

if that stick supports 3200mhz xmp, they SHOULD all run at 3200, but, not 100% guaranteed

[lean ginkgo]

man freaking Ram is expensive...

I have corsair, I cant mix and match brands huh

[fossil frost]

you can, but, its not recommended, but you generally can

[lean ginkgo]

why is it not recommended?

[fossil frost]

even within the same brand, you can get different ICs on the ram stick, different ICs from different manufacturers (the ICs are made by a different manufacturer than the ram stick) have different expectations, different timings, different frequency/voltage curves

so, while you can get a different brand that is billed at 3200mhz, it will probably run at 3200mhz, but, will run at the timings of the slackest timed stick

its recommended that your ram is all bought at the same time... but... unless you are doing something that is latency critical, it probably doesnt matter

[lean ginkgo]

gotcha

I do alot of software stuff for illustration

and the browser is like eating all my 16 gbs of ram

[fossil frost]

for most of what most people do, more ram at the same mhz count, is more important than the latency of the ram

I was downloading Genshin whilst charging with a case on my S21 5g and it was literally too hot too touch. It felt like a stove top and I was getting overheating warnings. Should I be concerned?

It's still very hot btw

[fossil frost]

you were insulating your phone with a case

as long as it didnt die at the time, its probably fine now

[full fossil]

Good

That saves some trouble, thank you

[lean ginkgo]

hey thanks for the help

[fossil frost]

its ok, you both caught me in a very rare good mood 🙂

[fallen cedar]

why is it rare?

[fossil frost]

because im an arsehole (apparently), and i generally dislike other people, to the point where i generally dont consider others to be people

[fallen cedar]

what about disliking others, which is fair in my opinion, stops them from being people to you?

[fossil frost]

those 2 things are not mutually exclusive

[fallen cedar]

I agree but it kinda seemed with your first statement that you dislike others to the point you dont see them as people anymore so I wondered at what point the disliking makes someone become not a people

you know what, nevermind, I don't want to be the one ruining your rare good mood

[indigo trellis]

whats a mother board that works with

rtx 4090 and i9 13th gen

[fossil frost]

too late

[fallen cedar]

lmao

[fossil frost]

by attempting to interact with me, you have spoiled it

[fallen cedar]

eh, you win some you lose some

[fossil frost]

tbh, it probably has something to do with all of those "i am not a robot" checkboxes not believing me

im probably a robot

[fallen cedar]

yeah that is infuriating

hmm are you really that consistent in life?

be honest

[strong kettle]

I see a man sprinting in the airport

i think bros about to miss his flight

[heavy dust]

i got 600 higher than average gpu on 3d mark i got 200 less before OC

cpu disappointing

[thorny axle]

Just drop it in a tub of liquid nitrogen

[onyx heath]

How can it cost 800 dollars for a iPhone repair at Apple

[thorny axle]

I’m sure that’s very good for it

[prisma sail]

they told me my 1st gen airpods would be $250 for a repair so

dont be surprised ..

[onyx heath]

Wrong server

[rough birch]

Given I had my iphone 6's screen replaced for ≈$60 Idk what the other repair places do that warrent a higher price. Yes I'm aware I said 6

[onyx heath]

Damn

[vapid zephyr]

That's probably warranted, actually

Airpods are obnoxiously hard to repair, so there's quite a bit of risk

A lot of repairshops straight up refuse to even try repairing them

[prisma sail]

Uh, they dont even cost that much

thats kinda where the issue lies and it would just be a refurbished one I get back

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah because Apple never really changed the repair fee and Apple just wants you to buy new ones lol

[prisma sail]

also, only one of the buds really needed to be replaced

[vapid zephyr]

Point still stands though, airpod repairs are always relatively expensive

[prisma sail]

which was a result of one of apples recent firmware updates

[thin fjord]

airpod users strike me as the type to buy a new pair instead of repairing anyway

[vapid zephyr]

That principle applies to more or less any earbud, really

Considering the size of these things, you can't really take repairability into consideration when engineering those things

[real comet]

Can anyone here assist me with monitor color calibration, the guys in the #creative channel are of no help

[ashen fog]

how correct is cpu temperature in task manager?

[full fossil]

i dont see why it would be less accurate than anything else

[dreamy rose]

any apple user in general tbh.

[ebon otter]

i miss T seriers Vs PewDiePie

[gilded quest]

Good times

[dreamy rose]

T Series winning was a huge mistake.

basically solidified the idea that YouTube should treat big Corpos better than creators cause they are bigger

[strange elk]

I guess

They still treat Linus like shit. Well nvm idk.

[dreamy rose]

removing the Dislike count from view was clearly meant to protect big corpos. nobody's actually going out and mass review bombing little Timmy. they dislike shit for a Reason.

[strange elk]

Yeah that was.. an interesting move.

Salty about their 2018 replay still

[dreamy rose]

i still maintain that's the case. 100%. plus probably being paid to by other corpos.

and then. creators always get the backseat god forbid you wanna get actual tools like OBS. click on a scam link through our ad system and download a virus!

[manic torrent]

I mean.... This is obviously and provably wrong. (The first part is correct, second part is idiotic, and you'd know that if you'd read or seen any coverage or commentary on the subject)

[vernal garden]

Exception being YT rewind

best prod quality ever

[dreamy rose]

can you provide a case where trolls Dislike bombed a channel so hard for no reason like YouTube is saying its supposed to stop?

[dreamy rose]

they are absolutely salty over YT rewind

[vernal garden]

oOh GuYS lEtS hAvE jAkE pAuL oN YT rEwInD....

[dreamy rose]

[molten drift]

This drive thru line at McDonald's is so long lol glad we have radio reception here while we wait.

[low rain]

Robotics team I’m joining requires my dad to join the server and he came to my room and told me to make him an acc 💀

[near nymph]

Make him join the Orange YT discord and tentacle anime discord

[dreamy rose]

hes probably gonna hate discord,

[molten drift]

The heck is orange yt

[low rain]

Whenever he sees me on discord he’s always like “why do you even use discord?”

[vernal garden]

It's not as good as teams son.

[molten drift]

Or 30...

[dreamy rose]

Lmao skype

[near nymph]

So under a rock

[dreamy rose]

i didn't know what it is either but i figured it out pretty easy from the sound of it.

[near nymph]

Orange YouTube contains adult films.

[low rain]

I’m just innocent

[vernal garden]

orange yt lol

[low rain]

And I’m under a rock

[molten drift]

Oh adult hub.

[dreamy rose]

Newegg is live on TikTok

[vernal garden]

BRO don't get me started with Newegg rn

[low rain]

What did Newegg do to u 😭

[vernal garden]

I sent in a back-order request about a month ago and they have absolutely nothing to say about it. Its a very common product that I've seen on Amazon, but I felt cheap and bought it on Newegg just to get trolled by an infinite backorder

[hollow shard]

What time does the Wan Show Start?

[dreamy rose]

whats with the name even?

[low rain]

Imagine getting bullied by Newegg 🤡

[dreamy rose]

at Wan Show starting time

[mild jacinth]

[vernal garden]

The end of it was to troll a bot that a buddy of mine built a discord bot. Essentially it shuts down the bot

[hollow shard]

Which is?

[low rain]

In Spanish class we have to present a presentation ab diff Spanish speaking countries to a younger grade, I’m doing Mexico with some other people so I’m just talking about drug lords and my Spanish teacher is currently disappointed in me. My other friend is doing Columbia so he’s doing Pablo Escobar and his poster is so funny.

[dreamy rose]

isnt it like 6-7PM their time or something?

[hollow shard]

Oh so I guess it will be 10pm EST

[dreamy rose]

16:30 PST they say

[wispy dagger]

ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW X 280 CPU Water Cooler White LED AIO Cooler 280mm CPU Liquid Cooler 2x140mm PWM Fans, Intel 1700/1200/115X/2066, AMD AM4/AM5 https://a.co/d/0GHZ9Jm

Is this any good?

[hollow shard]

?? So they start at 4:30pm that means they should've started already?

[dreamy rose]

well they arent always on time.

[hollow shard]

Yeah wow.

I always miss the start of the show...

[dreamy rose]

thats honestly why i wait for it to be over and then scrub through timestamps

[hollow shard]

I've been having to do that of recent.

[timid meadow]

Very rarely do they start at scheduled time

[hollow shard]

Well I'll just randomly check around for it.

[dreamy rose]

they probably will start sometime soon since they like doing the Afterdark segment.
