how do I appear offline on epic games?

[dreamy rose]

though they are probably at Computex around now like everyone else. wouldn't stop them though

[dreamy rose]

Uninstall

[summer folio]

No WAN Show today guys, orders from the new CEO

(I'm the new CEO)

[dreamy rose]

how dare Mr Tong say that?

tbh we need another Roast of Linus video. that was a banger

[patent mantle]

Wait is there no show tonight?

I was looking on the twitch schedule and it says the next one is next Friday, unless it thinks that it already “ended” and is just showing the next upcoming

[stray apex]

They're just late as usual lol

[dreamy rose]

no theres a show

[patent mantle]

Ah lmao

Figured that, but doesn’t hurt to ask lol

[vapid smelt]

They cancelled it forever

[dreamy rose]

its up

cheap brings way more bass

[summer folio]

Can't believe LTT said 4060 Ti had a x16 interface, when it has a x8. Truly an entertainment company.

[thin fjord]

gotta make up for crispy treble

[thin fjord]

x8 is kinda crazy

[summer folio]

You gotta fact check everything LTT says in their video, otherwise you will memorize incorrect facts.

[thin fjord]

its funny because they already add editors notes in the video. now im curious of those corrections are correct

[uncut spire]

Can someone help me turn on xmp I have a msi b650p

[patent mantle]

I remember u

.-.

[mint yacht]

Go to BIOS and enable EXPO

Wait... Wut

[ebon otter]

imk bored i want a game but i refuse to buy a game full price when it could go on sale for like 90% off next weekend so now im just bored out of my mind because i just fished Metro exodus and have nothing to play.

[wispy marsh]

It's been almost half a decade since I frequently listen to them, but iirc I like both albums. I just like pacific more

[wispy marsh]

Runescape

[indigo canyon]

um is the word hi not allowed?

[ebon otter]

Is it free I got no money

[wispy marsh]

Why don't you check it out for yourself?

[ebon otter]

I’m not at my pc rn

[near nymph]

Soo you don't want to pay for a game because it could go on sale? Then you say you don't have money...

What is it? Lol

[wispy marsh]

[near nymph]

Ya broke or... You just don't wanna spend

[ebon otter]

Both

Sadly

[near nymph]

Cool. CSGO, Valorant, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, I dunno go find some free games

It's either look for free games or pirate it. But piracy is bad

i got bean battles. it was 99 cents

[wispy marsh]

It's free to play up till a certain point, then it's a prepurchased subscription

Hello

[graceful burrow]

Hello

[wispy marsh]

What are the long term dangers of relying on made-up or imaginary characters to mimic or imitate healthy speech patterns?

[golden talon]

hi

[wispy marsh]

Everyone's guilty of it!

I approve

Daily random car appreciation

[gilded quest]

Gah

Only 2 hour wan show?

[wanton jewel]

oh noo

[rare horizon]

It seems like a lot of games featured on the GeForce Experience Game Ready Driver ticker lately have turned out to be really bad...Is Geforce Experience cursed?

Redfall was a joke

that new Gollum game is gettring terrible reviews

[graceful burrow]

we usually call that coincidence

[rare horizon]

There were more games on there that ended up being terrible, I just cant recall them atm

[midnight idol]

Nmidia strikes again

team red ftw

[rare horizon]

team red not communicating so well lately

[midnight idol]

whar

[rare horizon]

have you seen the latest gamersnexus video?

[midnight idol]

I don't watch him
only saw the hyte y60 review from him

[rare horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCxYfXe1DAA

Title: "AMD is a Mess: Radeon RX 7600 GPU Review & Benchmarks"

[midnight idol]

rip them
but still 7900xtx

[rare horizon]

AMD just had a big GPU pricing fiasco with the RX 7600

[midnight idol]

ah yes

[safe oasis]

gawd dayumn, my game is stuttering on the last of us bc I'm running out of vram at 12 gigs 🤣

[rare horizon]

Its not you, its the game

They should have optimized it better

[safe oasis]

Yeah

Crazy that even 12 gigs aint enough

[tacit ridge]

but reality is, it's not 😦

[rare horizon]

It is for every other game

[tacit ridge]

depends on the resolution you are pushing

for most cases, yes

[wispy marsh]

2h wan show sounds nice

[dreamy rose]

Half Life Alyx

[tepid jasper]

well the 7600 would be a decent buy if last gen wasn't selling for pennies

[dreamy rose]

at least AMD is picking up the gaming marketshare now

[tepid jasper]

true

[dreamy rose]

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

[tepid jasper]

doubt nvidia cares though, most of their revenue going forward is probably going to be from ai companies

[dreamy rose]

absolutely not

when the highly porfitable part of the bubble breaks its gonna be a big wakeup call for them too.

AKA the early stage.

[tender geyser]

7600 is priced pretty ok in Canada

Around the same as most 6650 xt

[dreamy rose]

that said. moving HUNDREDS is not good for a product like the 4060s and they absolutely fucking deserve to sit on shelves

7600 is already selling more.

[tender geyser]

Is it really

Cuz it hasn’t gone out of stock anywhere I can see

[dreamy rose]

its not selling hundreds more but its better than what the 4060 is doing for sure.

[tender geyser]

Y’all seen asus putting the 4090 cooler on the 4060

Strix model

[dreamy rose]

i wouldnt doubt it at all,

[ebon otter]

why not? then it wont ever overhaet

oc it to 3ghz

[halcyon bronze]

Hey everyone, so I got some bad ram from Corsair (enabling XMP prevents me from even POSTing). Unfortunately my return window is over with Best Buy so I tried to RMA with Corsair. They want me to pay for return shipping - is this normal? Feels like a slap in the face to have to pay to fix their garbage RAM

[dreamy rose]

Partners had the big cards and cant be arsed to make smaller coolers so they use what's already made regardless of how stupid an idea it is. probably allows them to charge more for it

[tender geyser]

500$ 4060

Lmao

[dreamy rose]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-laugh-spy-tf2-gif-7843426

[round trellis]

can i seperate the c drive to c , d and e?

[stray apex]

I mean, if they ran the benchmarks they'd probably figure out that dedicating engineering resources to something that's not gonna sell is pretty useless

I bet 4060ti will sell well as an AI card though

16gb, that is

[dreamy rose]

they wouldnt make em at all if that's the case

[stray apex]

I mean, they'll sell a few and they don't wanna piss Nvidia off

[round trellis]

^

i have 1 TB external HDD from Seagate , so i dont need to extend my ssd

[dreamy rose]

you mean Partitioning?

[round trellis]

i just need to seperate the drives

[round trellis]

yeah

[dreamy rose]

windows? right click the start menu and click on Drive management and you can partition from there.

[round trellis]

oh damn, so i can seperate it on my own wish or are there certain measures for partitioning (like i can only use 3 drives with 2xx gb of space)?

[dreamy rose]

an old BIOS system limits you to 4 partitions on a 2TB drive. a new UEFI system will let you do whatever you like

[round trellis]

i updated my bios yesterday, i have a 512gb ssd

im only playing warzone , far cry and gta 5 for now
downloading the other games but thinking of storing it in my hdd

ill store the bigger games in the hdd

like the AAA games , mp games on my ssd

so can I still partition my c drive to smaller c , d and e drives?

[dreamy rose]

absolutely. you just might find it a little cramped and get Windows screaming at you to "Free up disk space"

[acoustic pond]

1TB and even 2TB SSDs are getting so cheap now though, I bought a off brand 1TB SSD for like 25 bucks a week ago on amazon lol

[dreamy rose]

over here they are like 60-100+ dollars. stupid bloody AUD why do you have to be so fecking useless

[near nymph]

Trade your currency for another then

[dreamy rose]

i'd have to migrate to get that.

[near nymph]

No you don't

I'm a Canadian with US dollars

[dreamy rose]

how would that work

[near nymph]

You trade your home currency for another currency when the exchange rate is right

[dreamy rose]

highly doubt anything but AUD is legal Tender here

[near nymph]

Wise is pretty good for that.

[near nymph]

It's good for international purchases I guess. Lol

[dreamy rose]

i wont be doing many of those.

[wispy marsh]

Oh wow, aussies can be rich

I read somewhere that raising a kid is slightly more or less enjoyable than chores depending on how bad your chores are and how much of a monster your kid is

I for one fucking hate chores

[hollow pulsar]

It’s different with your own kiddo. It really is.

[wispy marsh]

My brother and I are twelve years apart. Being that young and witnessing my family being with him growing up is one hell of a traumatic phase that I will never, ever subject myself to.

[grim ether]

u better not lol

wait like 10 years bro

aint even gotta worry about that rn

ik thats what im saying lol

[hard mirage]

Can someone help me mentally process something

[grim ether]

i can lend a quarter braincell

[hard mirage]

https://www.bart.gov/news/anime

[grim ether]

you're 13 and dating is gonna suck ass until you're like 20

[hard mirage]

Our transit system now has waifu mascots

[grim ether]

dating in high school fucking sucks

[hard mirage]

I am just like ???????

[grim ether]

ur 13 g

play video games and go to trampoline parks and shit

[wispy marsh]

[grim ether]

nah its the same shit

[wispy marsh]

I've never had a relationship

[pliant karma]

this I can confirm. To say the least dating has been better for me in college ironic cause I am in the talking stage with someone so there is that.

[wispy marsh]

I'm old enough to actually be your father in some countries

[grim ether]

in my experience, most people just arent emotionally mature enough and their values dont really line up with mine (or didnt in HS)

[hard mirage]

@grim ether did you not see what I sent

[grim ether]

people just wanted short term shit or weren't really that serious about it, I was ahead of the curve there i think lol

[grim ether]

no 1 sec

dont think about that shit

too young for that

[hollow pulsar]

Never dated until I was 26. Knew if I started dating a girl, I’d most likely marry her. Turns out this was true.

[wispy marsh]

lol

[hollow pulsar]

Yep

[grim ether]

I havent been in a relationship since high school lol

20 now so hasnt been long

bro go watch backyardigans instead of stressin bout girls

[pliant karma]

nah that happens a lot, back at my high school you'd be damn lucky finding someone who is in a long term commitment. Though it has been 2 years since i even tried so this is the first time in a while.

[long briar]

my guy... at LEAST 17 maybe if you were raised right, if not older. From my experience, high school dating is kinda pointless for the most part

[dull granite]

lmao

[grim ether]

yep same, I had 1 relationship a year in highschool and then havent really bothered

[long briar]

also you've got no chance to pull with that discord profile

[rare horizon]

[grim ether]

they were... not great

[dull granite]

said the anime pfp

[grim ether]

first girlfriend was crazy asf and turned out to be a drug dealer lol

[long briar]

It's not my personal account, this is more or less a joke

[hollow pulsar]

Save it for your wife. Helps weed out girls who aren’t worth your time.

[dull granite]

stage one
denial

[grim ether]

lol also do not even bother thinking about that

too young holy

[long briar]

honestly, I don't get the hype of losing virginity before marriage

[grim ether]

i dont see either side of it, i dont really care about that
as long as me and my partner dont got diseases we cool
i dont mess around tho, hookups never been my thing, I find it crazy how young people are doing that nowadays

the internet destroying us a little ngl

[tender geyser]

no seggs = loser ahahahaha

[hollow pulsar]

It’s beyond stupid.

[grim ether]

and then the day you walk out of high school, none of it matters

just like everything else that mattered in junior high and high school

[dull granite]

ok why is public chat talking about this stuff again

[wispy marsh]

because

[grim ether]

kid worries about the wrong shit

[wispy marsh]

People can discuss things that are unspoken "taboo"

[grim ether]

Well I was just tryna tell the kid to stop worrying about girls at this age but yeah lol

kinda got away

[dull granite]

but anyways, doing "it" may be very beneficial for your relationship

[grim ether]

lil man only 13

[hollow pulsar]

Greatly benefited me and my relationship by not engaging in that behavior.

[dull granite]

if you're actually trying and you're not selflish

[grim ether]

was worried about this lol

[dull granite]

k i guess, everyone is different i guess

[grim ether]

was tryna tell lil mans not to be worried cause hes 13

[manic torrent]

lololololol I'm probably your dads age

[grim ether]

idc about waiting for marriage I just care about waiting for a proper bond I suppose

[hollow pulsar]

Prevents all kinds of problems and allows for easier dissolving of unwanted relationship by either party.

[manic torrent]

I waited until marriage to get married

[hollow pulsar]

Anyway, I’m out for the night.

[grim ether]

lmao

[grim ether]

i should add im not hating on it

[dull granite]

i don't see any reason why would restraining from doing it until marriage would be beneficial

[grim ether]

religious or cultural reasons perhaps

[dull granite]

it's just an unnecessary complication IMO because marrying someone requires a lot of bonding, and doing it is an bonding experience

i dunno why people still demonize it

[grim ether]

yeah I mean people also wait to move in together and that causes the same sort of issues

[dull granite]

this is extra dumb

[grim ether]

and it deepens relationships thats for sure

[grim ether]

yea agreed there

[wispy marsh]

Get him to post in #1106613567966429224

[grim ether]

I wanna get back into the scene, I think its about time

[dull granite]

scene?

[toxic vapor]

Prolly 60% of that is GPU only

[dull granite]

tf is a scene

[grim ether]

Once I get my full license I'll have a lot more time so ill be able to start thinking about dating again

[wispy marsh]

Why don't you fulfill that prerequisite?

[grim ether]

dating scene

driving, public transit is ass @dull granite

[dull granite]

full license? for what?
dating??

[manic torrent]

haha, dating for me is such a hilarious abstract concept now. I've been married for over 18 years

[toxic vapor]

If he doesn't require cuda .. maybe get 6700xt ?

[dull granite]

you talk like it's a sport or competition or something

[neon mesa]

When 4060 is coming soon and 7600 is at 270
Then there's old gen 6650XT at less price
Bad

[grim ether]

idk thats kind of a normal way to refer to it

[neon mesa]

4060 will be $300 also

[dull granite]

is it

[grim ether]

at least where im at

[manic torrent]

it kinda is

[wispy marsh]

I have an idea for a good gaming setup worth $1100
$50 27" monitor
$499 Xbox Series X|
$551 used Herman Miller Aeron

[grim ether]

but yea I miss it, been a couple years now

[grim ether]

honestly

id do a recliner tho lol

used tv

[neon mesa]

$500 for a chair is something I'd never do

[toxic vapor]

Honestly 7600 at $270 and 3060 at $300 .. might as well get 3060
About 7-8% perf diff in rasterization max and you get cuda , dlss , nvenc and 4gb more vram

[wispy marsh]

You're right, I did it

[grim ether]

i dropped 250 cad on mine and im happy

just need a chair that doesnt fuck up your back really

ikea markus chair

[wispy marsh]

I gave up the ikea markus for my current Aeron

[neon mesa]

4GB more VRAM that won't get used because 3060 is too weak
7600's h264 performance is already good AND it has AV1 so it's better than 3060
There's FSR and without DLSS 3, DLSS isn't better.

[grim ether]

i went from shitty generic $40 chair

[neon mesa]

Even then 4060 is like about to release for the same price

[grim ether]

4060 is also dogshit

[dull granite]

it will get used tho

[neon mesa]

I mean compared to spending that $300 on a 3060

[dull granite]

because RTX 3060 is faster than 4060 Ti sometimes

[grim ether]

just buy a card with 3070 perf or better used

[dull granite]

or same or very similar performance

[stray apex]

No lmao

[neon mesa]

-they didn't mention they're comfortable with used
-will require bigger PSU

[stray apex]

3060ti is occasionally faster than 4060ti in bandwidth limited loads

[neon mesa]

A 4060 will eat like 100w

[stray apex]

3060 is not

People seem to get 60/ti cards mixed up a lot

[grim ether]

6650xt also beating out the 7600 in some benches

[neon mesa]

But if you are fine with used the RX 6700XT is better

[grim ether]

also 6800 if you can find them right now

I found a ton for $400-450 cad

before the recent price drops too

[toxic vapor]

Just spend a Lil more and get 6700xt .. totally worth it

[stray apex]

6650xt has nearly the same performance per watt as a 7600
Just the shittiest midrange gen

[toxic vapor]

Similar specs too ..
So rdna 3 provides no benifit?

[stray apex]

rDNA 3 provides av1 encode and that's literally it

[grim ether]

7900XTX is a beast but weird

[stray apex]

I mean, 7900xt/x do provide a better top end

[grim ether]

7600 is fake RDNA 3 tho

its not even chiplet

basically rdna 2

[toxic vapor]

1 year later when 7600 would be $200 .. would be pog
Best value for 1080p gaming

[grim ether]

expect driver improvements by then too

[toxic vapor]

12100f + 7600
Lol

[grim ether]

honestly that or 13100f

[dull granite]

Radeon RX 7600?

[grim ether]

yea, its shit now but maybe will be good value later

[dull granite]

RX 7600 is barely faster than RX 6700 or is it slower?

[tidal minnow]

Hmmm I'd still go for a 6700xt. I think a 6700xt would be pushing it for 4k 60fps LMAO

[grim ether]

slower than 6650xt in most non-rt workloads iirc

[stray apex]

It's slightly faster than 6650xt

[toxic vapor]

13100f is like 40% more expensive here with no real gains
Maybe by next year prices would drop ..
$600 1080p gaming pcmr 🤞

[stray apex]

It costs more than a 6650xt in the US though
So unless you really want av1 encode

[grim ether]

in a year tho

hopefully

cheap 13th gen i3 would be a dream ngl

[toxic vapor]

Then even 5600 might be $100-110

[grim ether]

true, 5600 slaps

wish am5 wasnt mid right now

couldve been better, 7800X3D and 7900 non X is impressive tho

[dull granite]

Ryzen 7600 and 7900 aren't mid
alsso 7800X3D

[toxic vapor]

Would there be a non x 7600 ?

[grim ether]

7600 is decent but they got issues in general, especially with decent RAM lol

ryzen 7000 in general i mean

cant have large ram capacities in more than 2 sticks, cant have high speeds, etc

not the end of the world, will prolly be different for zen 5

[toxic vapor]

Wifi mobo vs usb network dongle (cheaper option)

[grim ether]

whats the wifi for

[wispy marsh]

It is the future, the year is 2042. No nvidia consumer card has more vram bus width than the ancient AMD Vega 64.

[grim ether]

for a backup, dongle
for primary source of internet, wifi mobo

[toxic vapor]

For primary .. what issues would dongle face ?

[grim ether]

way slower

like USB dongle right

[toxic vapor]

Yeah

[manic torrent]

rong

[toxic vapor]

They support speed upto 300 mbps iirc

[grim ether]

USB would be slower than wifi 6 mobo

[manic torrent]

80gbps

[grim ether]

wat

[manic torrent]

USB 4 supports up to 80gbps

[grim ether]

who has that

[toxic vapor]

not usb .. the cheap tp link network usb dongles

[manic torrent]

my laptop has thunderbolt, which is 40gbps

[manic torrent]

yeah but that's because they are cheap crap, not because USB is slow

[toxic vapor]

yeah

[grim ether]

personally id just do wifi mobo for bluetooth and guaranteed speed and range

but your call, depending on your setup you may have a totally fine experience with the dongle

i use ethernet myself 99% of the time

[manic torrent]

I changed my ethernet wiring and moved wifi hotspots around, now I get 400mbps on the couch

[thorn hazel]

generally 300 mbps is more then enough for most things, it's the latency that tends to be the issue

[wispy marsh]

That special novelty will turn into annoyance and frustration very quickly beyond the first five hours

[thorn hazel]

family IT helper

after a few years you have to be like idk it's been awhile I haven't kept up with the latest trends

[wispy marsh]

Happened to me for 2 years

[manic torrent]

I didn't have a gaming PC for like... 5 years?

maybe it was more

[wispy marsh]

Ah yes, year 0 to year 4

[rose cloak]

Hey bois quick one... which one would u pick
2K 360hz 1ms or 4k 240hz .03ms

[crisp turret]

what gpu you got

@rose cloak

[thorn hazel]

the better deal

same price 4k 240hz .03ms

[full fossil]

@young violet hi

lol

clyde

[oblique silo]

34" 120HZ Curved Display vs 34" 144hz Flat Display? Price is the same.

[small zephyr]

duh installing linux over usb 1.0 is slow af

[wispy marsh]

???

[wispy marsh]

There are multiples of you!

[small zephyr]

fiona is a copy cat

im the og

[wispy marsh]

[earnest void]

why are the 4070 and rx6950 being compared while the performace of the rx 6950 is the same and the 4070 ti?

[mild elm]

Because they are the same price

[dreamy rose]

mmm. 12mbits

[dreamy rose]

what's heavier? a Kilogram of Steel or a Kilogram of Feathers?

[wispy marsh]

A kilogram of brains feel the heaviest

Because it's the densest of them all

[indigo plume]

I'm probably gunna just give away steam deck gmto some mfs at work or something

I'm disappointed I'm it

Should have waited on asus ally

[dreamy rose]

whats wrong with Deck?

[indigo plume]

Battery life,can't play certain games cuz anti cheat, sub 60 fps in many higher demand titles

Gets to hot

[dreamy rose]

Anticheat is the Developers fault not Deck.

[indigo plume]

Would rather have windows

[wispy marsh]

Don't want it? I'll pay the shipping fee

[indigo plume]

And be able to play my go to games

[wispy marsh]

Make sure to dban it before you ship it

[indigo plume]

I would give it to friends

[dreamy rose]

Windows makes Ally more problematic

[wispy marsh]

Good idea

[indigo plume]

Disagree

Windows is what ppl are comfortable with

[wispy marsh]

It's quite expensive for what it is

[indigo plume]

Steam deck over priced for its performance

[wispy marsh]

I think I know why

[indigo plume]

I get 35 fps in witcher

[wispy marsh]

Valve never has been a stickler for updated hardware

[dreamy rose]

you literally don't know

[indigo plume]

It's like a 10 year old game

I shouldn't get such low fps on witcher when it's not even a next gen game

[amber cairn]

which witcher, witcher 1?

[indigo plume]

3

[wispy marsh]

It's the first time they're doing something that's not streaming or remote streaming, and I suspect that because they have to make sure it's cheap and highly available enough to manufacture, Valve is going to wait for a longer while

[amber cairn]

considering what the steam deck is, basically a low-powered laptop in the case of an oversized ps-vita you kind of get the performance you get

[indigo plume]

Ally looks more appealing

[wispy marsh]

The only other company that I know with great worldwide logistics and amazing hardware-software integration for the price is Apple

[amber cairn]

Other alternative is the Rog whateveritscalled which also costs double of the base price of the steam deck

[dreamy rose]

if it was on SteamOS yes

[indigo plume]

Don't want steam os

[wispy marsh]

Discounting Google's recent adventures into hardware. The pixel fold and google's 2023 tab looks promising

[indigo plume]

It's linux

I dont want to be limited by anti cheat

[amber cairn]

The rog ally's biggest enemy is windows 11 lol, microsoft working at double-speed to make a handheld-compatible windows version or at least develop tools to make UI-elements selectable via joystick/x-input

[wispy marsh]

Are they still? I heard about it that one time that it was a windows developer's pet project

[indigo plume]

I have no interest in learning Linux

For steam deck

Windows simple and works

[dreamy rose]

you want battery life ruined by Windows and also having much more problems that make it hardly is usable

[wispy marsh]

Microsoft has squeezed so much into modern consumer windows that makes it ill-suited for battery-efficient workloads

[amber cairn]

the fold looks great, the real promise with the pixel fold is that google will give their "suggestion" on how android on foldables should look like and make sort of a standard + when they have the hardware they'll optimize their software and apps for that type of usecase. That's all positive, just wish their own G-chips were a bit more performant

[indigo plume]

I've seen battery bench marks ally has more life

[summer folio]

Why can't Linus take criticism, like at all? Shadowban this, shadowban that, all he talks about all WAN show.

[indigo plume]

Only time steam deck win is at 8v ish

[dreamy rose]

"Handheld compatable windows version" stop Huffing copium. it will never happen

[wispy marsh]

Alright, be civil, public

[summer folio]

Litteral man child.

[indigo plume]

Windows is more compatible with everything

[amber cairn]

Did I mention anything about believing they'll succeed? It'll get some steam for a month and then get forgotten or not prioritized. Dunno why you went all-in like that tho lol

[wispy marsh]

Asus being a hardware-first company has to rely on windows for a good long while

[dreamy rose]

it is NOT good for handhelds that's a fact. Windows is the enemy.

[indigo plume]

Nope

[wispy marsh]

Let me straighten you out

[indigo plume]

Windows is easy and simple

[wispy marsh]

The Ally can be configured to work with windows just like how Aya did it

[indigo plume]

When I go to desk top mode on steam deck I just get confused

[dreamy rose]

i would like to see your proof instead of Regurgitating marketing

[amber cairn]

Dude, who taught you how to get into conversations. Do you just walk up to people with cats and go "so why did you beat you dog, answer now!" ridiculous.

[wispy marsh]

It's how Asus does it, and at which level of interference with the software they will make to get windows as non-problematic as steamOS currently is

[indigo plume]

Well I can navigate windows easily but I find Linux very confusing

[wispy marsh]

i have to stop you here.

[indigo plume]

What

I hate Linux

[wispy marsh]

What you're referring to is steam os's own GUI. Linux by itself doesn't have a GUI beyond the command line, and it is Valve's job to ensure that the DE they choose is as friendly as they can make it.

[slim yacht]

anddddddddd here we go

[amber cairn]

Let people not like what they don't like or are familiar with. Bet most of y'all who drive cars all day long wouldn't like it too much to be sat into a yamaha and get told to get to work

[dreamy rose]

i hear all this Copium about "Microsoft making a lighter Handheld version of Windows" whenever the topic comes up. it will never happen.

[indigo plume]

In desktop mode I just get lost

[wispy marsh]

If they don't want to make it similar to windows, we can drop them an email and that's it

[amber cairn]

Did you hear it from me? No? Good I'm not the internet so back off and talk like an actual person.

[indigo plume]

Can't play d2 on steam deck

So gg

[wispy marsh]

Alright, I've heard that you've found enough reasons to not keep it.

[indigo plume]

I didnt need convincing

[dreamy rose]

if you cant use KDE, then you have a willingly shit mindset towards linux.

[amber cairn]

Nah that's Valve support's job when you ask to return it lol

[wispy marsh]

I'd like for you to watch this video. It really helps, specifically you.

[amber cairn]

"how about a €25 voucher and we don't need to waste €90 sending it back"

[indigo plume]

Wtf is kde

[wispy marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4To-F6W1NT0

[indigo plume]

KDE sounds like a call of duty term like kda

[dreamy rose]

i mean KDE is Windows without the bloatware and the better desktop experience, thats a fact.

[wispy marsh]

I don't use linux with the GUI if I can help it. Moving on

[indigo plume]

Wtf are all these acronyms

[amber cairn]

KDE is a desktop environment, it's what's showing you like a desktop on linux. You can have different "versions" so there's KDE, Gnome and a bunch of others

[wispy marsh]

graphical user interface

[slim yacht]

just all sorts of linux things

[wispy marsh]

DE is desktop environment (samsung Dex, windows UI etc.)

[amber cairn]

they all have different looks, different ways to configure and people mostly find their favourite and stick with that

[indigo plume]

Is this how Linux users talk

[amber cairn]

Yep pretty much

[indigo plume]

Wild

[slim yacht]

about what i said before, you need to learn alot before you can actually use them lol

[wispy marsh]

Well, once you get deep enough to enterprise you'll get it too

[indigo plume]

Well I will never get deep into Linux

[dreamy rose]

KDE is the desktop on Steam OS, when you exit steam. its been around since 1996 and has been refined to be ahem. what modern windows wishes it was

[wispy marsh]

Don't worry about all of these, if you're not comfortable we can explain it to you

[indigo plume]

I will never use Linux

[amber cairn]

Linux users tend to assume a bit too high of a level of tech literacy from end-users I've found.

[wispy marsh]

Wanna know the fun part? Windows Server Core has no desktop.

[indigo plume]

I dont even know what that means

[wispy marsh]

It's still windows, just no desktop.

[amber cairn]

y'all need to realise some people don't really care about how stuff works just that it works

[wispy marsh]

All you see is a command line. No start, no task manager, no steam big picture mode

[dreamy rose]

its windows that looks like Command Prompt.

[summer folio]

Why is WAN after dark bright now? I still have to see Linus? Then what's even the point

[amber cairn]

also not answering questions no-one asked

[indigo plume]

Yall are like when a car nerds start listing all these car parts and have no idea why mfs are talking about

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, I get you. That's how i deal with my bicycle

Friend pulls me to look at bicycles and parts and combinations and stuff

[slim yacht]

thus why windows is much better os for most normal people. its works just like that out of box compared to some other os'es

[indigo plume]

I will be on windows for my entire life

[amber cairn]

like most ppl then

[indigo plume]

Unless it shuts down

[strong kettle]

car go vroom

[wispy marsh]

My bicycle was put together by my uncle who frankensteined it from several bicycles and I don't wanna look at $3000 mountain bikes

[indigo plume]

For me does pc turn on? Okay we good

[summer folio]

You mean like, end the explorer.exe process in aktivitetshanteraren (ctrl+alt+delete) to get more fps?

[wispy marsh]

It's fine, damo

[slim yacht]

so road bike then? or hybrid?

[dreamy rose]

Okay @indigo plume, this is what KDE looks like:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.27.0/fullscreen_with_apps.png
its really similar to windows but its just way better

[wispy marsh]

no thanks, LOL

[indigo plume]

Most ppl dont need to know all this extra technical stuff

[slim yacht]

[wispy marsh]

Your goal is a good version of the ROG Ally

[indigo plume]

I'm just a average Joe that plays games

A ain't trying to super optimize everything

[amber cairn]

a good Rog ally is up to asus to fix lol

[wispy marsh]

I get you

[indigo plume]

I dont like to tinker with stuff

[opal cairn]

Oh boy, do we have a wild Stallmanite in captivity today?

[wispy marsh]

Did we sound intimidating?

[slim yacht]

my guy, if it works theres no need to fix it. good mentality tbh

[indigo plume]

I just like stuff thst works out of the box

[dreamy rose]

SteamOS

[indigo plume]

Anti cheat

[strong kettle]

Tech nerds always have something to fight about

[opal cairn]

Say the one about how it's GNU/Pedantic (or GNU+Pedantic)!

[wispy marsh]

If we did then I'm sorry

[indigo plume]

No destiny 2 My most played game

[fallow cloak]

What's even going on here who we trying to convert lmao 😂

Leave the dude alone

[indigo plume]

So don't worn for me

[slim yacht]

as always, someone tryna shove what they like to other people

[indigo plume]

Work*

[dreamy rose]

Anticheat works on SteamOS period. Developers REFUSE to support it. hardly the fault of SteamOS.

[indigo plume]

Either way dont work

Don't care about logistics

Can I play game? No then we have problem

[strong kettle]

yall really cant agree on something

[indigo plume]

I dont care if steam os is better optimized or some shit

[dreamy rose]

both Easy Anticheat and Battleye work on Linux. majority of games will run. just not because the developers refuse to support deck.

[indigo plume]

Okay I dont care

[wispy marsh]

You can just block 'em

[indigo plume]

All I care is game dont work

[wispy marsh]

[indigo plume]

Idc who's fault is it

[dreamy rose]

yo want something that Works? Steam OS. Windows is a buggy piece of crap on Ally that's a fact.

[indigo plume]

Either way on steam deck I ain't playing it

[fallow cloak]

I see like I use Linux but I strongly understand why people tick with windows and I respect that. My moto is don't fan boy for software instead use them as tools

[opal cairn]

Say the one about telling people to install Gentoo!

[indigo plume]

I've used my far share of windows

I'll ne ight

[stray apex]

And most games could probably be optimized to run on 8gb of VRAM, but that's not reality

[indigo plume]

And most games shouldn't be 70+ gb these days but here we are

[dreamy rose]

you haven't had the Ally experience. i haven't either but you know who has? Press. and press expresses these issues.

[indigo plume]

Ice seen many videos on it

I also like the smaller size of ally

[dreamy rose]

you should be well aware of the fact Windows works like crap on Ally then.

[indigo plume]

Steam deck a bit to thicc

[wispy marsh]

Sigh

I get you, I really do

[stray apex]

It's good enough that Linus seems to have switched to ally

[slim yacht]

can almost guarantee this space turns into fire pit everytime its OS discussion

[fallow cloak]

May I ask what do you mean by the ally experience?

[wispy marsh]

Bionic just doesn't want to watch the video

[stray apex]

Linus has been using windows handhelds for years now

[dreamy rose]

what the fuck does Graphene have to do with SteamOS?

[wispy marsh]

Just say you don't want to

It's fine, I'll just silently judge you

[dreamy rose]

i've already watched through the Video. GrapheneOS has nothing to do with SteamOS its irrelevant.

[severe vale]

how do you get a free windows 11 pro key?

[dreamy rose]

you dont

[wispy marsh]

I'm happy for you the day you get to learn something from it

[severe vale]

why?

[dreamy rose]

because its Piracy.

[severe vale]

k

[slim yacht]

work with company who pays them for you

[severe vale]

bro linus even did a video on that he does it 💀

💀💀💀💀💀

[wispy marsh]

I know where you can get one, but you first need to have a friend or a family member who is not unwilling to buy software for you.

[opal cairn]

I feel like the Steam Deck would be good as a pseudo-Wii U GamePad for your PC, like if you turned it into a thin client and used it as an extra monitor and controller for a full fat rig.

[wispy marsh]

They'll have to purchase it from this site, and then give it to you. That is how you get a free windows key. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-11-pro/dg7gmgf0d8h4

[stray apex]

At that point just buy the Logitech cloud handheld

Steamdeck only makes sense because it's reasonably powerful

[opal cairn]

Steam Deck's input options can't be beat, though.

[stray apex]

If you're just streaming the Logitech handheld is way lighter

[severe vale]

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[opal cairn]

No other handheld is as fully-featured controls-wise. It goes all the way up to L5/R5 thanks to grip buttons and also has those touchpads.

[stray apex]

Yeah, and unless you really want to play civ or something it doesn't matter

[dreamy rose]

I'll be happy when you realize you posted irrelevant crap to the conversation and are telling me to rewatch a video i've spoken my opinion about in detail before. so sorry but you're making absolutely no point here, this is where i ask you politely to stop yabbering about unrelated nonsense.

[stray apex]

Like 99% of the games that are actually good on a handheld have standard gamepad support anyways

[wispy marsh]

Alright. You sound like the developer.

I fully agree with you that it is irrelevant

[dreamy rose]

the Graphene developer is unhinged and a piece of shit i am nothing alike him.

he needs to better himself immediately or a Fork is gonna happen.

[wispy marsh]

Alright then, I take it as there will be no apology for calling people (in here) names when they don't fit your imaginery criterias

I apologise for assuming the best of things

[dreamy rose]

the only thing i've done in this conversation is speak upon the facts.

[opal cairn]

Even so, I'd actually really dig a dedicated thin client version of the Steam Deck. Strip out the powerful guts for something that's just good enough for smooth streaming or as a wireless secondary display and sell it for way cheaper than the Steam Deck, and bam: Steam Controller 2.0.

[dreamy rose]

so you want a Logitech G cloud?

the only part of deck that is really worse than the Ally is performance. and there might be another one with RDNA 4 integrated Graphics.

[opal cairn]

Remember that the Steam Controller was supposed to have a screen on it initially anyway.
https://i.imgur.com/YiVHlJ1.png

[dreamy rose]

Ally easily could have easily shipped with SteamOS too. they knew windows was a shit fit and went with it anyway.

[dreamy rose]

that looks more like the rerelease of the Duke than a steaming controller.

yall know the Duke, the massive dreamcast shaped OG Xbox controller.

[opal cairn]

That was the original Steam Controller prototype back in 2012.

Back when Valve initially released their whole "Steam Machines" plan that ended up largely falling through.

[dreamy rose]

we have deck now though. it fell so Deck could run.

[small zephyr]

fuck i hate myself sometimes

just "baked" an cake in the oven without setting the temprature....

[dreamy rose]

Top shelf

[teal osprey]

Do you guys think technology like Geforce now will completely replace owning expensive gaming pcs in the future? ive not really heard about it until recently and how well it actually works

[golden talon]

not as long as the majority of the population suffers from shit connections

[full fossil]

Ayo you're in here too

[golden talon]

yus

[jade snow]

Like the big failure called Nvidia shield?

[opal cairn]

That wasn't a thin client, that was an Android device that used a Tegra X1 chip. The same chip that powers the Switch, actually.

[jade snow]

Still weaker than the steam deck

Oh dog 💀

https://youtu.be/03DEcB2ny4E

[slim yacht]

dont think so. yes its nice that you can now play without needing all those hardware..... but only when youre connected that is .

[timid meadow]

Googles giving me mixed answers, and i dont trust binggpt to not burn my apartment complex down so maybe someone here could help me. Can a 550w peak draw pc be connected to a 1500VA UPS in another room via an extension cord? Specific extension cord in mind is a big one rated for outdoor. Im assuming i could somehow use a multimeter and watt meter to check somehow?

Says its rated for 13A 125v-1625w, 16AWG

I thinnk its risky on this cable and i should buy something 12 gauge or better? From what bits and pieces im seeing at least? Most of the forum topics im seeing are old and specifically referring to older style plugs without ground pins

[manic torrent]

it's rated for 1.6kw, and you are doing a peak draw of 550W. You tell me.

I mean there is also voltage drop calculators

[timid meadow]

My worry is that everything is saying 12 gauge and this is 16

[manic torrent]

ho long is it

[wispy marsh]

Twice as long as half its length

[timid meadow]

Im checking now. Roughly 2x as long as i need it to be but gimme a sec

[manic torrent]

10m cable, you'll drop around 2.5% voltage

(at 500W)

[timid meadow]

50ft cable

[manic torrent]

yeah that's fucking shit (at the "rated" 13A)

[timid meadow]

So ye ill buy a new one then

Thanks

[manic torrent]

it's ok at 500W, but honestly, it's junk, throw it out and never use it

[timid meadow]

It was originally bought for my modem and other lower devices but isnt in use rn. It seemed on the edge for the pc which is why i asked. Wife wants me to move the server outta the living room,and i like to keep the server,modem, and ups together. Meaning i gotta make sure the extension for the pc is safe enough

Bc the pc is staying next to the tv

[manic torrent]

People have such different setups and lives!

[strong kettle]

Nvidia stock is at a all time high wtf

[manic torrent]

yeah because the stock market is a fucking sham

[wispy marsh]

Wanna know why?

There are several companies with big pockets

They buy at a certain price, and sell at a certain price

If you don't have insider knowledge, you'll lose your money

That's how people get their savings wiped

[manic torrent]

I mean

it's more complicated than that - but in essence, yes.

[urban cove]

wait for the new gpus

and you will see what happens to the stock

[manic torrent]

what?

[wispy marsh]

In essence, yes

[dreamy rose]

hell no

[glacial sand]

you guys wanna hear a terrible pronoun joke?

a not offensive one

[dreamy rose]

anyone who says shit like that is huffing Copium. you will NEVER be able to replace a PC with Streaming. nobody is always gonna be connected to the internet.

and the there's shit internet too

i tried GFN in the Australia beta and portal 2 was practically unplayable with a whole 1 second input delay

[manic torrent]

are you sure

[dreamy rose]

yeah no we dont wanna hear it

[cosmic ore]

not completely replace but will and has made gaming more accessible

local rendering will almost surely never go away though

[timid meadow]

Not a replacement never, but its great tech, especially over LAN. and ive been begging for xbox to make a compute stick dedicated to gamepass for ages

[dreamy rose]

it wont get super popular unless the entire internet is capable of throwing like 200 up for every person on the planet.

[cosmic ore]

that's a given

a lot of people do have good internet connections, which is what it's made for

[glacial sand]

yes, could somehow interpret it as offensive if you tried really hard

[cosmic ore]

a lot of people also have awful connections

[dreamy rose]

and a lot of people live in Australia too

[glacial sand]

i feel bad for all of them

[cosmic ore]

not as bad for people living in the UK

[glacial sand]

nah uk is 1000x better

[dreamy rose]

you realize some people will be offended by literally anything right?

[manic torrent]

australia has speed of light distance problems. UK and US is far more dense, typically

[glacial sand]

i mean if you dont fear any sorts of insects or bugs then australia isnt so bad

[glacial sand]

yea thats why i said if you tried hard enough to twist it

[jade snow]

Ehat about the murder birds? And the wild dogs

[glacial sand]

animals in general

[dreamy rose]

we bettered the world with Wifi tho.

[manic torrent]

gotta make friends with the local magpies

[glacial sand]

yea but This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

[jade snow]

1 baby vs 14 kangaroos

[glacial sand]

not even counting the amount of children

[dreamy rose]

Emus are much worse foes.

[jade snow]

Inhabitants includes children

[glacial sand]

idk about you but 2 kangaroos can fuck me up

[dusty rune]

1 is enough as well

[jade snow]

A teen kangaroo can fuck you up

[manic torrent]

you realise that a kangaroo spends most of its time just sitting around doing SFA

[glacial sand]

ik im saying 14 kangaroos for every inhabitant, if we count babys and children into the mix it would be like 29 vs 1 adult or sum

[dusty rune]

https://tenor.com/view/kangaroo-fight-gif-7937000

[manic torrent]

cassowarries are worse again

[dusty rune]

that thing would kill you

[glacial sand]

i do, i saw this one guy punch a big ass kangaroo and it running away so thats why i said 2

[dreamy rose]

its an Emu with a shitter personality.

[manic torrent]

It's a dinosaur

[dusty rune]

barely

[jade snow]

Would you rather fight a kangaroo or a chimpanzee

[manic torrent]

it's about the closest we've got

[dusty rune]

chimpanzee

[manic torrent]

kangaroo every time. No question.

[glacial sand]

kangaroos have a much larger body count as a specie than emus since emu eggs are being sold because of how big they are, so emu with shittier personality and can do more dmg because more kangaroos than emus in australia

[dusty rune]

i get how chimpanzees are tough but id rather just kick one of them than a kangaroo

[glacial sand]

kangaroo not even a debate

[dreamy rose]

i cold give the monkey a banana and he'd be happy i'd rather he monkey

[glacial sand]

id pick a grown ass kangaroo over a baby chimp im serious

[jade snow]

It obviously implies the anima is angry at you

[dusty rune]

1 kick and youre gone

[heavy dust]

is gigabyte a520m ds3h okay for a 5500 without any oc or anyhing except like pbo and slight ram oc nothing else

[dusty rune]

ig you can outrun one so

[glacial sand]

kangaroos are slower than me so i can do one hit and run the fuck away

[dreamy rose]

bro believes his name is Saxton Hale

[jade snow]

Im not a kangoorologist but id hope it would leave me alone after i fall to the ground. The chimpanzee tho, thats up to 150 pounds of pure muscle on doom slayer mode

[glacial sand]

shit chimps torture you for fun so yea

[dreamy rose]

one banana and it doesnt care anymore

[manic torrent]

and it is smart, and gives zero fucks.

[dusty rune]

orangutans are smarter

[jade snow]

How many people with pet chimps have had their face torn apart because they got angy one day. In the us probably more than 6

[glacial sand]

its not like that irl if you toss a thousand bananas at him to eat it it dont matter you look more delicious in his eyes

[glacial sand]

i saw one story about that in florida but crazy shit always happens in florida

[dreamy rose]

last time i heard they didnt eat meat

[jade snow]

Crazy shit happens everywhere, Florida is just more transparent with their police reports and stuff. Other states hide it

[glacial sand]

there was this one trend where you would search your birth date and say florida after it, for example march 23 florida and without a doubt u would find sum crazy

[cosmic ore]

this. We have the "Sunshine Law" which makes all police reports public. Reporters trawl through this to find wacky stories.

[glacial sand]

they do, example :Abstract. Male chimpanzees at the Gombe National Park were twice seen to attack 'stranger' females and seize their infants. One infant was then killed and partially eaten: the other was 'rescued' and carried by three different males. Once several males were found eating a freshly killed 'stranger' infant.

[dreamy rose]

mine is:

A Florida man told police officers he was “teaching it a lesson” when he was spotted abusing an alligator.

[dreamy rose]

Florida and Alligators are as synonymous as Hotdogs and hand grenades.

[jade snow]

the wot

[glacial sand]

A Florida man arrested for destroying a liquor store under construction told police he was Alice in Wonderland and that a “hookah-smoking caterpillar” ordered him to attack the site.

Crestview police said in a post on Facebook that Matthew Horace Jones is accused of breaking into a fenced-in area and using a forklift to cause more than $100,000 in damage. He faces grand theft felony and other charges.

Witnesses called 911 and police went to the site. The police report says Jones aimed the forklift toward officers, who stopped him at gunpoint.

Police quoted Jones as identifying himself as Alice in Wonderland, blaming the attack on “a hookah-smoking caterpillar” and saying that he had a problem with “building a place to sell alcohol.”

No lawyer is listed for him.

[dusty rune]

wait if a person doesnt get a lawyer, does the trial not happen?

[manic torrent]

... if you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to you

[dusty rune]

if all of them r busy

[manic torrent]

But you didn't just discover a magical cheatcode

[pliant sphinx]

Idk why so many people want to be in America. For some it may literally be a life downgrade

[manic torrent]

Because it's more important that people who don't "deserve" it don't get anything than it is for ... Basically anything.

so far right mindset? every man for themselves?

[polar fern]

[polar fern]

She’s Canadian.

[strong kettle]

Im going to leave this asylum of a country as soon as i can

[long briar]

I thought she was Hong Kong tbh

[wispy marsh]

Yeah because Yvonne Ho is nearly 50yo

[long briar]

idk how to explain this but... Canadian is not an ethnicity

[echo canopy]

Because we dont actually? Per person we tax far less and on less things compared to european countries and we spend less of our total budget on it .

[polar fern]

People always wondering where people are “from” we from fuckin earth m8

[oak kindle]

its a nationality

[long briar]

yea soook

[oak kindle]

you wouldnt call a korean american a korean guy depending on the context

[long briar]

ehhh most cases you would

[pliant sphinx]

Those high taxes provide nearly everything you need though. In fact, you still have a plenty of money to spend.

[oak kindle]

when talking about their nationality you never would

[pliant sphinx]

+Benefits for young people, elderly etc.

[oak kindle]

african americans arent africans

[dim steppe]

i get called korean as a korean american regardless of context

[echo canopy]

I was never arguing in favor or against, just saying how it is.

[long briar]

nobody talks about nationality except for taxes and other flame war topics

[mild elm]

Huh?

[polar fern]

We all Africans if you wanna get technical.

[manic torrent]

You absolutely do. Per Capita us spending on healthcare is huge.

[strong kettle]

I really want to leave Singapore

Its an asylum

[oak kindle]

??? ever heard of a national identity?

[wispy marsh]

Yes, we had people like amos yee

[long briar]

doesn't exist

[mild elm]

How?

[echo canopy]

at what level? state or goverment?

[polar fern]

Singapore can have a very socially oppressive aspect

[oak kindle]

LMAO real!

[manic torrent]

No, for the entire country. Total healthcare cost per Capita.

[long briar]

in a conversation, I'd be a Chinese regardless of what my passport saya

[strong kettle]

same

[polar fern]

You are human from earth.

[strong kettle]

Its making people go insane especially the education system

[echo canopy]

Just because health care is expensive does not mean we spend a lot on it? im confused

[graceful orchid]

Anyone knows about that free nitro from epic games?

[long briar]

Arguing semantics doesn't work when the entire conversation is based off of an arbitrary way to describe people

[strong kettle]

The Singapore education system makes students depressed many students have already yk

[mild elm]

2020

[strong kettle]

i really wanna leave this country as soon as i complete polytechnic

[polar fern]

A friend of mine lives in Singapore. She wants to move to aus

[strong kettle]

Its a dog water country i sympathise with her

[mild elm]

I should read more ab sg

[echo canopy]

That includes government and out of pocket. I thought nexgen was talking about only government spending.

[wispy marsh]

[manic torrent]

No, total per Capita. You spend way more and have much worse outcomes

[graceful orchid]

No you can do it again now

[echo canopy]

yeah

[strong kettle]

Worst country in SEA

[wispy marsh]

Alright, floopie, enough whining about our shit country. Move on to another conversation

[strong kettle]

lmao

[polar fern]

She has distant relation in Perth or something but her husband won’t give her a divorce

[mild elm]

That’s not true

[echo canopy]

well. its also because no one in the states bothers to take care of themselves. We have one of the largess obese populations

[strong kettle]

its not but it feels like it

everyday here is draining my sanity

i need a new country

[wispy marsh]

Yes, yes

[pliant sphinx]

Tbh, I'd say that things like these are caused by quality food being expensive

[polar fern]

“Taking care of yourself” but companies will exploit every loophole & lobby to include shit ingredients to save money & profit.

[manic torrent]

Yeah that ain't it. It's not individuals that are the problem. There are fundamental systemic issues at play

[polar fern]

@pliant sphinx yeppppp

[wispy marsh]

Things are expensive in sls and our parents are emotionally immature. Time to quit it

[echo canopy]

Quality food isn't that expensive in the US. its people being lazy. I dare say fast food is FAR more expensive yet people seem to eat that a lot

[polar fern]

Erm

[long briar]

... no

[echo canopy]

my point was its both

[polar fern]

As a poor person, gonna say you’re wrong.

[manic torrent]

You are demonstrating American individualism here perfectly

[polar fern]

Again…

[manic torrent]

And yeah you're also wrong.

[long briar]

LOL

[polar fern]

So my grocery bill is made up? Kay

I don’t eat shit food

I actually can’t, my gut can’t handle it

[long briar]

I do! it's called a ton of rice and noodles

the best foods to exist

except there was that entire thing abt don't eat rice cause carbohydrates???

[polar fern]

Yep. I eat a lot of yogurt, apple sauce, tuna, rice. But it’s good quality.

Can’t afford a ton of fresh produce. Storage also an issue.

[echo canopy]

rice is a good energy source if you eat it in the morning/not a lot. white rice contains complex carbohydrates.

brown rice isnt as healthy

[long briar]

wdym not a lot

[polar fern]

Erm brown rice has all the nutrients etc from the husk or whatever it’s called

[long briar]

bro east Asian cultures literally revolve around rice

I don't see em being any less healthy

[dusty rune]

rice with chicken breast

every mr olympia meal

[prisma sail]

I try to got rice in with most of my meals

[echo canopy]

Yeah youre right idk what i was thinking

[manic torrent]

I try to eat food most days

[polar fern]

It ok

Some days I only eat 2 meals

[echo canopy]

Some people will just gorge rice? Ive seen it in restaurants many times

[polar fern]

On days I eat only two meals, having rice for the second meal is usually pretty good. Filling.

[dusty rune]

most days i just starve myself tbh

not cause i want to, but because i have nothing to eat

[prisma sail]

Egg fried rubber is a meal on its own

[polar fern]

Mhm

[manic torrent]

I'm eating a 90c chocolate biscuit right now

[echo canopy]

why would you do that tho

[manic torrent]

https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/199372 they are half price RN though

[prisma sail]

Because my ios keyboard is awful I meant rice lol

[dreamy rose]

why is it so hot?

[manic torrent]

just out of the oven

[polar fern]

My favorites are bamboo rice & squid ink pasta.

[prisma sail]

Hot biscuits are pretty amazing

[oak kindle]

@prisma sail would you rather have a huracan or gt3rs?

[wooden nymph]

How are you guys going

[polar fern]

👍

And you?

[wooden nymph]

I'm great .. Just waking up 🙂

[polar fern]

Same

[prisma sail]

I’d rather keep my Miata

[dreamy rose]

the best cookies stay soft even when cooled. aka Subway how the fuck do they do cookies so well

[polar fern]

Got my tea & oatmeal

[oak kindle]

what if they were just a secondary car for you

[prisma sail]

Gt3 I liked driving it in the past

[manic torrent]

gt3rs on the track or in the hills, huracan for the street

[dreamy rose]

Holden Commodore

[manic torrent]

JFC you bogan

[oak kindle]

have you tried either before?

[prisma sail]

I’m not exactly a car expert tho

Just my experience

[manic torrent]

I have driven other porsches and been in a huracan.

[dreamy rose]

its either that or a car that would never exist.

[prisma sail]

Most of the others aren’t the same tho

[manic torrent]

I drove a GT2RS and holy shit it ripped my face off

[oak kindle]

and youd genuinely choose a gt3rs over a huracan on the track? do you have like a rear engine humiliation fetish?

[prisma sail]

I like mountain runs

[oak kindle]

same theyre cozy with friends

[prisma sail]

[manic torrent]

yep. with a manual transmission.

[prisma sail]

But I’d honestly just buy another Miata I much prefer it

[oak kindle]

would you take a gt3rs or gt4rs

[prisma sail]

Feels nicer..

[oak kindle]

why not get some nicer short wheelbase car

[manic torrent]

probably the 4 - as long as it has the gear ratios fixed

[oak kindle]

M2 or maybe a Lotus (hate them though)

[prisma sail]

I’ve tried the Elise

[oak kindle]

holy fucking baste, real (pdk or manual?)

[prisma sail]

Speed isn’t really a major thing for me, I don’t street race and the Elise is far less comfortable

[manic torrent]

manual, obviously. The PDK is amazing, but eh

[graceful orchid]

Is it worth boosting this server?

[prisma sail]

They are well over the boost tier cap

[dreamy rose]

i'd rather take a Rally Spec Lancia Stratos for a spin. that things less than a ton. sounds fun

[prisma sail]

I still want to try a roadster

[primal jay]

Minecraft minecraft mimecrafr karl pc

[long briar]

lotus evora 400 shares the same base engine with my rav4

[dusty path]

yo

[primal jay]

Obama

[long briar]

partnered and verified server so it doesn't matter, though u don't remember whether you get general chat image perms with boosting

[manic torrent]

you would die. I mean it would be fun, then you would die.

[long briar]

Moreso than a Dodge viper?

I've only seen like, three ever

[prisma sail]

Oo I liked the viper

[manic torrent]

a viper will kill you... but you won't know when or where, it will just snap one day

[prisma sail]

There was a guy who took me out for a spin in one was nice

[long briar]

uhm

I don't trust anyone to drive a viper than myself...

other than whatever the last Gen was, that one is ok

Every viper before the last one didn't have traction control

[dreamy rose]

thee Stratos basically is a good looking cheese wedge Midget Ferrari.

[long briar]

... or just about any electronics for that matter

[prisma sail]

I don’t have traction control

It’s not that scary ..

[manic torrent]

you also don't have a v10

[prisma sail]

Ya ya I know

If you driven then car as long as he had it I don’t think it’s not something they are well used to

[long briar]

uhm

[manic torrent]

I just have a nice family wagon with 400hp at the wheels.

[long briar]

Audi Avant underrated

Every single Avant class cars (wagon) are so sexy

[long briar]

2013 Rs4 Avant is like, not edgy but still very modern

best car

[polar fern]

👀

[prisma sail]

Massive cars >_<

[manic torrent]

lol compared to a miata

[dusty rune]

7900x looks quicy

[prisma sail]

I kinda wanted to downscale to a Catpuchino

[polar fern]

Pocket rocket

[manic torrent]

haha, yeah there's no wawy I would fit in a cappucino

[dusty rune]

catpuchino

[polar fern]

Wtf https://a.co/d/b0MuUfk

[manic torrent]

although I would love a kei truck

[polar fern]

1 tb micro sd

[dusty rune]

not unheard of

[polar fern]

First time I’ve seen one

[manic torrent]

largest one is 2tb

[polar fern]

I mean I have a 256 gig usb 3 thumb drive so I know it’s not impossible, but wow.

The tbw prolly not great on those

[prisma sail]

Im a small girl I'll manage my dog is a small pom too no problems there

[polar fern]

Maybe use one of those 3 wheelers that scam car maker produced

Forget what they’re called

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_C5

[manic torrent]

I have myself and my wife and my son, and he seems to take up an amazing amount of room, for being a small boy

[prisma sail]

My partner would not allow that

[dreamy rose]

even 1TB Thumb Drives are kinda expensive and fewent too.

1TB Kingston DataTraveler Max. 290 AUD.

[strong kettle]

i wouldnt allow that either

[dreamy rose]

says its 1000MB/s maybe true

[ashen zodiac]

you can do it cheaper by just using an external ssd

[dreamy rose]

absolutely.

the problem with that is that they are either bulky and or they use a cable which you'll probably destroy or loose.

[ashen zodiac]

nope https://www.amazon.com/GODSHARK-Enclosure-Portable-Performance-External/dp/B07QPDDMPJ

M.2 makes that possible now. that thing takes SSD's and just becomes a (pretty big for a thumb drive but still small) external SSD

[dreamy rose]

ok but what if i wanna plug into a port next to it.

too Wide.

[ashen zodiac]

use the ports on the other side of the machine? idk

@dreamy rose there's always a compromise. the M.2 enclosure is wide yes, but can fit theoretically 8TB drives
