[timid meadow]

Cod players are fifa players with guns

[dull granite]

at least cod has a new story to tell with every new entry

[tired glade]

He isn't about game

[neon mesa]

Windows and Linux freedom is worth every penny compared to getting a console.
You might not care so you do you, preference afterall.

[calm swan]

just realized they can get a steam deck

[timid meadow]

Let them live their life

Not everyone needs a desktop

[neon mesa]

Not everyone needs until they encounter a sticky situation

I had to walk a mile to a friend's home because I don't got a windows device back then

[paper timber]

huh

thats actually smart

[desert ivy]

I saw a review of it having inaccurate color reproduction compared to dedicated players. Still better than streaming but still

[neon mesa]

Steam deck is console prices and PC freedom
Yes that's perfect

[timid meadow]

Samsung dex and google suite cover a good chunk of what normies would need from a desktop

[calm swan]

i mean i just put my tv into cinema mode and its fine

[neon mesa]

Samsung dex is a glorified phone

It's not about the environment, but software

[timid meadow]

Not for normies

If it works it works

[calm swan]

ya base steam deck and upgrade the ssd is perfect

[neon mesa]

Even schools are ditching chromebook because of the limitations normies not supposed to care

[desert ivy]

4k gaming vs 720p gaming 🤔

[neon mesa]

People forgetting the TVs consoles need

[paper timber]

he said it sucks ass lmao

[neon mesa]

Steam deck has a built in screen

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, you can just get a base steam deck, upgrade the SSD to a 1TB SSD and you still would've spent less than you would've on the 512GB Steam Deck listing

[calm swan]

bruh he does realize to take full advantage of the series x he needs a $700+ tv

[paper timber]

he wants to get the rog hand held thing

[calm swan]

good, but plagued with software issues rn iirc

[neon mesa]

You're spending more on consoles in the long run too anyway
That's why they're sold at a loss

Steam deck is perfect

[calm swan]

the deck is also sold at a loss wym 💀

valve is making money by selling u games thru the steam store, just like ms and sony

[neon mesa]

Significantly cheaper

And no subscription needed

[calm swan]

you dont need to pay for ps+ or gamepass?

i never did and it was fine

[neon mesa]

Multiplayer needs it no?

[desert ivy]

Except you can actually own your games and sell them after you play them.

[calm swan]

only for paid games, f2p doesnt require it

[neon mesa]

There isn't many good f2p on consoles

(Before some of you have reading comprehension issue, i said not many not none)

[tired glade]

Lol and Dota PC exclusive, what else?

[calm swan]

valo and csgo

and thats it i think

[neon mesa]

It's well known that PC library is a lot bigger

[tired glade]

Kinda

[calm swan]

well no shit, but convenience of xbox is just amazing

[tired glade]

Because you really don't want to play like 90% of PC games

[neon mesa]

I mean that's subjective

I play a lot of PC exclusive games

[desert ivy]

I own a PS5 but only for the exclusives. It's convenient AF. But I wish it used the power of my GPU. It stills look great though

[tired glade]

Overlap of Windows is too high over consoles,they can just brute force better quality

[calm swan]

i use a switch purely cause of the exclusives lol

[paper timber]

nvm apparently my friend fucking trolled me about getting a console

[calm swan]

pc? or rog ally

[tired glade]

Switch still good choice

[desert ivy]

I can turn my TV and start playing in seconds, exactly where I left my game paused. My PC can't do that.

[neon mesa]

And if you use VR like me, PC straight up unbeatable.
PSVR2 is better in technical specs but too much limitation

[paper timber]

pc

[neon mesa]

And don't even say PSVR1 that shit is shit

[tired glade]

Technically, you can, just sleeping mode in windows pretty bad

[calm swan]

i can turn off my xbox and games and os will update automatically, and it only uses like 20-30W while doing so

[neon mesa]

Well gtg

[calm swan]

solid, tell him to make a list and send it here

[paper timber]

he is getting a prebuilt btw

[calm swan]

rip 🫡

[tired glade]

20w kinda high, should be in 5-10w

[tired glade]

F

[calm swan]

it says 10W in settings but it most def uses 20w

[tired glade]

Oh, it's game depended,not like in ps5

[desert ivy]

I would have to leave the game running 24/7 to be the same. The energy consumption would be off the charts and the game would definitely crash if the computer went to sleep with a game running

[tired glade]

Basically Xbox doing sleeping mode with caching all data and slowly moving to storage, windows can do that,it just barely works since xp

And Mac can do that since 2007,I think

[desert ivy]

Tbh I'm not familiar with how it works on Xbox. But on PS5 it works like wonders

Super fast too

[tired glade]

It's a thing since ps4

Since Vita*

[calm swan]

thats hibernate on windows

[desert ivy]

Too bad that PS5 games are expensive AF

[unkempt widget]

hibernate breaks sometimes

[tired glade]

Right,not sleeping, hibernate

[full fossil]

what are people's thoughts in linux here 🇭🇲

[tired glade]

Get disk version,way cheaper

[calm swan]

its great unless u need adobe or some other pro apps

[desert ivy]

In my country I have to pay US prices (not localized) + 16% sales tax

[calm swan]

holy shit 16% sales tax?

[tired glade]

Windows is second boot os for my entertainment pc

[full fossil]

i- fair that's a valid ducking point

[full fossil]

shit like this is why I have a dual boot 😔

[calm swan]

for most people linux would be fine

[desert ivy]

I thought so but it wasn't available when I got it. And I also only play it on release date for the exclusives. So it wouldn't save me any money and it would just mean I get the games later

[tired glade]

Rip

[calm swan]

games run quite well on linux too (we can thank proton devs and steam deck for pushing linux gaming)

[desert ivy]

Yeah, just for the PS5. Xbox games and game pass have localized prices and they include tax

[tired glade]

Disks still have reselling value

[desert ivy]

True. But I didn't sell my PS4. But mostly because I'm too lazy to do it.

[tired glade]

All PS4 games already migrated to your ps5, anyway

[desert ivy]

But I'll probably should sell it soon

Those games are coming to the PC anyways.

[tired glade]

It's already there

[calm swan]

wasnt the last of us on ps3 tho?

the horizon games asw

so u could alr emulate them on rpcs3 lmao

[fierce moth]

6213 tracks for 62gb is not a lot haha

[tired glade]

Those already ported to ps4 that automatically arrived to ps5

[tired glade]

I don't lesson to a lot of music

[desert ivy]

I think TLOU and Horizon are already on PC. But I already played them

[desert ivy]

What year is this 2005?

[tired glade]

Isn't that song from 70's?

[desert ivy]

I mean having his music collection stored on device

[calm swan]

looks like amazon music acc

[blazing lily]

hey guys - i deal with cameras and big video files from cameras. Does a "PCI to super fast USB ports" thing exist?

[winged ferry]

are there any motherboards that support nvme and m.2 ssds

[fierce moth]

60s iirc

[winged ferry]

also whats better

[fierce moth]

It's plexamp

[winged ferry]

an nvme or m.2

[fierce moth]

So it's on my personal home media server

[full fossil]

Yo. I just installed a new MB and Switched the thermal paste. My CPU is now running at 52C in BIOS

Is this normal for now or did i potentially mess up?

[tired glade]

Remount cooler

[fierce moth]

Plus a lot of the music I like to listen to is old, jazz and classical

[full fossil]

@tired glade im guessing thats a no then :(

[desert ivy]

I see. I don't like stealing music since paying for it became cheap and easy

[full fossil]

My CPU fan is running but it says its not

[desert ivy]

AFAIK most of it it's done through USB-C rn. But I'm not sure. I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will correct me.

[heavy dust]

you ever see someone piss you off so much

theyre like so punchable

[patent socket]

yes

all the time

[plush rivet]

thats fine

[winged ferry]

does anyone know a good mother board that supports a rx6650 xt and ryzen 7 5700g and has 2 ssd slots and built in wifi?

[gray zephyr]

Just general question
Curcial p5 plus vs 980 pro
2TO

[desert ivy]

The cheapest one

[full fossil]

@plush rivet u sure? The other guy said remount my fan :(

Also my Cpu fan is "failing" even though i can see it running

[plush rivet]

53C idle is fine

[desert ivy]

The temperatures depend on your cooler.

And processor

[heavy dust]

y’all ever see someone run so slow it makes no sense

[winged ferry]

do all amd motherboards work with all amd gpus and cpus?

because i have a rx 6650 xt and a ryzen 7 5700g

[wispy marsh]

No

[plush rivet]

no

[plush rivet]

PCIE is universal with the mobos
but you require the correct chipset do use the CPU correctly

[wispy marsh]

You can't use a 8370 on a 5800 motherboard

If you're talking about 300-series, their rom is too small (8mb) and therefore require two separate bios versions for 5000-series and 1000-series compatibility

400 series there will be exceptions and special cases (some has no fancy gui) but the 500 series work across all AM4 cpus

[winged ferry]

What is a good motherboard that supports rx 6650 xt ryzen 7 5700g and has built in wifi

[full fossil]

Anyone else thing steam should add a system requirements filter for example you only have 8gb ram so you can move a slider to filter all the games above 8gb. Is that stupid or genius?

[winged ferry]

Just get more ram

[full fossil]

Just go on pcpartpicker

[wispy marsh]

Hmm

[wispy marsh]

B550 MATX

Or, any size that you want

[winged ferry]

Good idea

[winged ferry]

Thanks

[fallow herald]

Really excited for the LTT PCBS2!

[desert ivy]

Probably too many variables. Because Minimum Requirements are all over the place. Although I think something like Deck verified is a great first step.

[full fossil]

U raise a fair point!

The only reason I say it tho is cause I'm on laptop and not really much I can upgrade, it's not a framework. So I want an easy way to find games I can play without running into issues.

I've been trying to save to get a pc since last year but I had to break my savings for forced holiday to Canada to meet family and again this year I'm going to have to break it for my brother's wedding in India

Seems like it's gonna take me years to actually get a pc.

[deep niche]

guys i just fuckin broke my pc

im bout to kill my self

[distant wren]

That sucks what did you do?

[deep niche]

spilt pepsi on it i dont got money for a mew one im 13

[distant wren]

Ah so what have you learned?

Water and electric does not mix

[deep niche]

im about to fucking die my parents are gonna be pissed

[distant wren]

Sorry for your loss. And maybe if you confess this to your parents all be okay?

You’re going to be scolded but it’s better as hiding the facts that’s just worse

Better to tell them what happened and tell you’re sorry as the opposite and get scolded .

[deep niche]

bro

[distant wren]

Kill your self ? Nah that happens naturally. Also you’re going to own more pcs in the future

[deep niche]

im scared broo

[distant wren]

So tell that to your parents aswell

I’m scared I did something bad. That takes allot of effort

To say and to own up to .

Go to your parents and tell them it happened and tell them your scared.

[deep niche]

bro

[distant wren]

Bro no joke that’s what you should do

[deep niche]

my parents are gonna fucking kill me dude

[distant wren]

Do they beat you?

[deep niche]

no

[distant wren]

So no problem there

[deep niche]

i wont get another pc

[distant wren]

And? Maybe you have to work for it next time. These things happen

🤷‍♂️ we all destroyed at least one pc in our lives.

[wispy dragon]

What’s happening?

[distant wren]

13 year kid spilled Pepsi over his pc and now is afraid to tell to his parents why the pc is broken or what happened

Because of natural scarey ness of the situation

[wispy dragon]

Laptop?

[distant wren]

Pc.

[wispy dragon]

Oh a tower

[distant wren]

Yep 👍🏻

[wispy dragon]

How tf do u spill Pepsi on a tower

[distant wren]

@deep niche how?

[deep niche]

its on my floor

[wispy dragon]

He knocked it off and it spilled

[full fossil]

It would be really nice if someone could create replacement housings out of aluminum for low-end cheap plastic laptops that break

[deep niche]

i knocked the can

[wispy dragon]

Is it standing straight up

[full fossil]

You should change your username to canofpepsi

[deep niche]

rlly fuckin funny i just broke a 1500 pc

[wispy dragon]

@deep niche

[deep niche]

yes

[tired thorn]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r9bgDq - is this the cheapest I can get for decent new parts?

[distant wren]

#1106613567966429224 please

[wispy dragon]

Turn it on.

[distant wren]

No dont

[wispy dragon]

Ok hond on

[distant wren]

Clean it up first let it dry

[wispy dragon]

Was it pre built? @deep niche

[deep niche]

yes

[calm swan]

shut it off and clean it with iso alc

[wispy dragon]

Should he take the gpu out?

[distant wren]

Oh 1500 prebuilt is so much lower specs as it would be if it was self built

[deep niche]

i took the gpu out

[calm swan]

yes disconnect everything asap

[wispy dragon]

Ok

Especially the motherboard

[deep niche]

how tf i do that

[calm swan]

disconnect the psu and remove it

[distant wren]

No clue if anything is fried in that case it’s already over

At this moment I would just leave it be and bring it to a professional

[wispy dragon]

We are the pros

[deep niche]

i cant

[wispy dragon]

And plus he’s 13

[calm swan]

bestbuy

[distant wren]

Exactly that’s why his parents should do that step

[wispy dragon]

just disconnect everything

[distant wren]

Not like Mrbeast would swoop in and replace the defective parts

[wispy dragon]

U sure?

[distant wren]

No clue 🕵️‍♀️ but if it would good for that 13 year kid

[elfin jetty]

[wispy dragon]

Well seriously now disconnect the hdd or ssd

[distant wren]

And also wondering if he would have learned his lesson for spilling Pepsi on his pc

[wispy dragon]

Or m.2

So u got ur data

[distant wren]

@deep niche this man is all yours

Would make for a random video: Mrbeast helped a random subscriber with his pc and sends chocolate bar and a year Pepsi supply. to a 13 year kid

[wispy dragon]

Lol

[daring swallow]

Nah but to be fair though Elon musk is easily winning the fight

[sweet jetty]

Supsup lttcord

[wispy dragon]

No he’s not

[distant wren]

Never tasted the chocolate bars they are not in Europe

[daring swallow]

Easily would

[wispy dragon]

No

[sweet jetty]

Oh jeez, haven't had one of those bars either

[distant wren]

The other guy got martial training 💪

[daring swallow]

He got the height and the weight

[sweet jetty]

Heard they're alright tho

[daring swallow]

Ain't nobody care about that

[distant wren]

You can have height and weight but without the training it means nothing

[sweet jetty]

It's a major advantage imo

[daring swallow]

I disagree to any logic

[distant wren]

3 fight sports experience vs none is allot of advantage

[daring swallow]

We will see when it happens (:

[sweet jetty]

Im 5'0 and 43kilos and I've beaten 6'3 guys with more than double my weight in taekwondo

[distant wren]

It’s okay 👍🏻 Racoons do not see logic In it I’m fine with that

[daring swallow]

Thank you (:

[desert ivy]

Even though I think Zuck would crush We are talking about a fight. Musk would beat the crap out of any 43kg man, let alone woman

[full fossil]

Musk is a fucking nerf

[distant wren]

Musk cannot fight he has no training 💪 as far as we know

[full fossil]

Musk can't do shit - only streetfights he's done he has been beat in to pulp lolz

• musk lies about everything

[distant wren]

All a publicity stunt for shareholders to buy more shares. Imo

[sweet jetty]

Im talking about a fight too here :) all I'm trying to say, Elon has an advantage in overall well, body, but martial arts experience does matter, so it could be anything

[opal moon]

If Microsoft is moving towards RISC architecture chips, what impact will it have on gaming? Most games are not ARM-compatible.

[distant wren]

Not yet *

[sweet jetty]

Devs will have to adapt to it and it'll take a while to introduce and transition

[distant wren]

Would there be a new split off? Like x86 did with x64?

[desert ivy]

You mentioned Tae Kwon Do. How is that a fight? It's a sport.

[sweet jetty]

And I reckon apple's gonna move to risc or at least implement it better than Microsoft does

[distant wren]

Have you ever done tae kwon do?

[sweet jetty]

Taekwondo is a martial art, which involves actual fights lmfao, please do your research 🥰

[opal moon]

Apple Silicon is RISC.

[fierce moth]

No?

[sweet jetty]

It's ARM

[fierce moth]

It's arm

[opal moon]

ARM is a Reduced Instruction Set chip

[opal moon]

it literally means Advanced RISC Machine

[wind pulsar]

-- Someone who hasn't seen a dojo from the inside, ever, 2023

[distant wren]

That’s like saying Judo cannot be used to defend yourself

[sweet jetty]

Arm is a form of risc which is for performance with low power consumption, risc in general is very customisable depending on use case

The risc we're talking about it risc-V

[desert ivy]

I did Kung Fu. And no, there are rules in Tae Kwon Do. Sparring isn't the same as fighting for real. There's no points. MMA at least is close to a real fight

[opal moon]

Yes, but it's RISC nonetheless. It doesn't need to mean RISC-V. That's another derivative.

[sweet jetty]

? Everything you learn doesn't have to be just about sparring tho, we did practice proper fights aswell

[opal moon]

Microsoft has started with ARM. So RISC-V is probably not coming before that.

[sweet jetty]

When we refer to risc in general, it refers to risc-v, it's basically layman stuff

Microsoft doesn't have arm executed very well yet either so

[desert ivy]

A 43kg person can beat a 6feet 3 person in Taekwondo. That person would be destroyed in a fight. Its delusional to think otherwise. It's twice your weight

[sweet jetty]

It'll take a while, basically

[distant wren]

Well they wanted a cage fight *

[opal moon]

Fine. I just call it Reduced Instruction chips for clarification from now on.

[distant wren]

A lump of fat is still a big lump of fat without proper training weight doessnt mean a thing to me

[sweet jetty]

You think a 6'3 person with no formal training background can defeat a 43kg person who's good with taekwondo with ease?

[desert ivy]

A lump of fat has the muscles of someone who carries that lump of fat.

[distant wren]

Yeah but not the agility of one who can fight

[sweet jetty]

Yeah but they must know how to use that too 💀

[distant wren]

And that’s what we are trying to make clear to you. It’s easy to redirect the power of an inexperienced person

[sweet jetty]

Exactly

[desert ivy]

Life isn't a videogame. All they need to do is grab you.

[distant wren]

Great and if they grab me they will be on the floor

[sweet jetty]

😭 im starting to believe you haven't in fact been formally trained in kung fu

[distant wren]

That’s easy redirection of power by using techniques

Since I do not get the idea you are versed in any martial training. This discussion is futile.

[sweet jetty]

With all due respect- this convo is going absolutely nowhere, I don't think it's wise to continue

[desert ivy]

No... I'm not delusional. You realize when you practice Take Downs you cooperate with the movement so people can practice..in real life is impossible for you to take down someone twice your weight.

[distant wren]

Have a good day Lome and I hope you get yourself informed

Done that already 👍

[desert ivy]

I hope you never get in a fight because you are going to get whooped.

[sweet jetty]

Lmao

What's everyone upto

[distant wren]

Have to move the car , just unpacked kitty litter

[sweet jetty]

Damn

[wind pulsar]

Yes, because it's just a bunch of people that have no martial arts experience talking as if they know shit

[desert ivy]

People that have never been in a real fight. Thinking practice In a gym is a real fight 🤦🏾

Against men that would be mortified for beating someone half their size.

[wind pulsar]

If you think you can't apply formal training in a fight is straight up dumb

[sweet jetty]

How many fights have you been in, mlomeli? If you don't mind me asking 🥰

[wind pulsar]

But who am I talking to, they probably don't even know what school kung fu they trained in

[desert ivy]

One. Enough to know it's not the same.

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, that's what I thought lmfao

[sweet jetty]

Fair, how many people were fighting?

[desert ivy]

Hahahahahahahaha life isn't a movie where the your master determines your style and if you can beat them

[wind pulsar]

You'd think that someone that brags with having trained kung fu would know the name of it's kung fu school

[wind pulsar]

.. Yes it does

[desert ivy]

I have no idea the name of the school. Some guy had a dojo. Hahahahahahahaha ahahaha oh my god.

[sweet jetty]

Zamn

[distant wren]

I have done Judo practised it in fights and in tournaments. for weight normally your classified in weights but when it comes down to real life fights weight doessnt matter if the other person does not know martial arts

[wind pulsar]

Kung Fu is literally just an umbrella term, no kung fu is the same depending where you go lmfao

[sweet jetty]

So let me get this clear

[wraith sonnet]

90$ for a 1080 FE, 5820k, 16 gb of ram and a working x99a sli krait. Good deal?

[wind pulsar]

But I guess there's the confirmation that they don't know what they're talking about

Unless they learned from some rando off the street

[desert ivy]

What makes a difference is practice, and your physical commitment. Not your style rofl.

I also practiced Box for a few years.

[neon mesa]

Not even a question

[distant wren]

Yeah but we’re talking about a person without martial knowledge vs one with 3 martial sports knowledges

[sweet jetty]

You trained for "kung fu" in a dojo of a random guy you don't know the name of, nor the style, and you've been in one fight in your entire life to prove that it was worthless and someone bigger than you can defeat you easily?

[desert ivy]

I agree to a certain point. But size does matter and size difference can be too big.

[neon mesa]

Just the 1080 alone is worth 90 bucks

[sweet jetty]

Don't you think that's a tad bit generalized? 🥰

[neon mesa]

Plus broadwell is rare

[distant wren]

Not if the person doessnt know martial arts

[desert ivy]

I've sparred a lot.

[sweet jetty]

I bet

[wraith sonnet]

One of my coworkers found out I'm building a Plex server and saved some used parts for me

[distant wren]

Worth it

[fierce moth]

now thats kind

[sweet jetty]

W coworker

[graceful burrow]

Average mlomeli tale

[fierce moth]

my og plex server was a rpi cm4, now its a old intel 4th gen thin client

[distant wren]

The trolling feels high here

I’m out of here time to get some food 🍱

[sweet jetty]

Have a great meal

Remember to stay hydrated :)

[wind pulsar]

I should start picking up Wing Chun and tell my master all kung fu styles are the same across all schools, I wonder how often I'll get beaten with a stick

[sweet jetty]

😭

[wraith sonnet]

So far I've spent 190 usd on this server, 40$ 4u chassis, slightly used but well within warranty seasonic PSU for 25$ and then full price for a cooler

[distant wren]

You deserve all the beatings

[fierce moth]

but yall like my server?

[desert ivy]

Hahaha. I didn't say that. I said which school you studied makes no difference. Or what style. Martial arts is mostly physical conditioning.

[neon mesa]

Of course it's arch

[fierce moth]

its nothin powerful, but it gets the job done

[desert ivy]

And Flexibility

[wraith sonnet]

Why are you in windows you clearly know how to use a good os

[sweet jetty]

That's actually a W

[fierce moth]

blame oculus

[fierce moth]

low usage on resources and highly modifiable

i get about 64mb ram usage when plexmediaserver aint running

[wraith sonnet]

I don't think dxvk is good enough for vr yet anyways

[fierce moth]

plus vr drivers is a bit spotty unless your name is valve

[wraith sonnet]

I'm using arch because it's the easiest distro for me to use ironically

[neon mesa]

Can't you use something like virtual desktop

[fierce moth]

hmm?

[wraith sonnet]

I've become so used to steam deck's desktop that I had to switch to arch on my actual desktop

[fierce moth]

i dual boot on desktop

but i have to fix my efi settings

[wraith sonnet]

I keep breaking shit when I dual boot

[fierce moth]

cause classic windows nukes the arch efi entry

[wraith sonnet]

Yeah, also I need to get larger SSDs for general use anyways. Two 500gb drives for my games and OS' is a big shaky

[fierce moth]

i have a 512gb ssd and a 1tb ssd

[wraith sonnet]

I need to just get some 2tb SSDs from pny or something they're like 50 usd

[fierce moth]

with my server i just got a 240gb ssd for like 30 aud

for boot drive

[wraith sonnet]

Don't put it in a hotswap bay!

My history of putting boot drives in hotswap is well documented in this server

[tired glade]

How arc on linux?

[viral vine]

Who here uses Brave browser

[wraith sonnet]

It works great, I'll be honest I don't play very intensive games in the first place I do play games that need a lot of fast frame delivery

So pizza tower works great same for tf2

But that's only because I'm on kernel 6.3

I'm not sure how it is with the closed source Ubuntu drivers

[fierce moth]

i havent updated my arch on desktop in a while

[tired glade]

Arc is way to young to support something older

I should check when Torvalds thinks about arc

[fierce moth]

One day when I get a better server I might switch over to network booting

Just to see what it's like

[tired glade]

Just don't fully switch to it

[fierce moth]

Maybe netbooting for install isos

So I don't have to carry around a ventoy usb

[desert ivy]

[strong knoll]

yo guys how do i use audio codecs other than AAC in Obs

[elfin solar]

Yes. Pick up 43 kg person. Put in bin. Win.

[sweet jetty]

😭 gl with that

[elfin solar]

43kgs 😂 Luck wouldn’t come into it. Guess you have never been in a real fight.

[sweet jetty]

I've been in a couple :)

[elfin solar]

It’s great you do a martial btw. Just don’t lose site of reality.

There’s reasons for weight classes no matter what level fights are at.

[desert ivy]

See when she was fighting that 6'3 man it was a real fight.

[crude jasper]

43kg? depends on who the 6'3 guy is.

if they know how not to get themselves into a bad position, pretty doable

[sweet jetty]

He wasn't trained

[crude jasper]

yes but there's a difference between no formal training background and knowing basic stuff

[desert ivy]

In a Tae Kwon Do Sparring match. Everyone believes you can beat him with ease.

[sweet jetty]

Sure is, but not everyone's great with it already

[sweet jetty]

It was a real fight, my g :)

[desert ivy]

Just not in a real fight. Ask someone over 80kg to bear hug you and see how easy self defense techniques are.

[crude jasper]

whats your definition of real allie

[desert ivy]

In a gym? You are calling a sparring match a real fight? Or was it an attacker?

I've been on gyms where men and woman spar. I've never seen a man hit with all his strength. At least not one half his size.

[sweet jetty]

It was a college fight, last year lol

[elfin solar]

chuck her on a barbell and do some curls

[desert ivy]

So you are expecting us to believe. That you got into a college fight last year's and a 6'3 men attacked your 43kg person and you kicked his ass?

[crude jasper]

sparring matches are more a show of skill if anything

[sweet jetty]

Not men, it was one person

[pliant karma]

ha all too well

[sweet jetty]

And yes

[meager violet]

they used an enchanted apple

[sweet jetty]

Believe it or not

[crude jasper]

not too unbelievable considering we don't know his weight and frat boys are usually stupid brutes

[elfin solar]

43kgs. She must be less than 5 foot tall.

[crude jasper]

also doubt any actual show of force was used on his end

[desert ivy]

Unless he weighed 60kg at 6'3. And if it was a Frat Boy. Then it wasn't a fight, just a woman beating a drunk guy.

[sweet jetty]

With all due respect guys, I'm again led to believe that you guys have no martial arts background and are theorising this?

[desert ivy]

I mean I'm sure there are 50-55kg women fighters that could kick my ass. But they'd have to be semi-pro kickboxers. And even then it's 10kg of muscle difference from 43kg

[desert ivy]

No, due to me training I've met overconfident women that overestimate their ability against men because they've never been tested. So it's almost impossible to believe.

[sweet jetty]

Focus on the word training, you've spent a bit training

In my specific scenario, the person was not good at fighting

Take it as you will, call that to good to be true, but you guys are honestly just going in circles with your points here :)

[regal harness]

I know there is at least one LTT staff member, and probably several lurkers on discord, that would know what image scaler would make an N64 look decent on a 1080 TV and a (future) 4k tv?

[modest leaf]

a crt tv

[desert ivy]

Unless you told me you are a professional fighter then maybe, but even then the lowest MMA weight is 10kg more than your weight. In MMA that's 3 weight classes of difference. 10 kg is huge.

[regal harness]

I don't have the space for a crt.

[modest leaf]

anything else is disrespectful to the n64

[regal harness]

But my current TV is old enough to have analog inputs

[regal harness]

Thanks for a non-answer

[tardy terrace]

Some newer tv's have rca input still

[desert ivy]

Strawweight for women is 53kg. That would be like two weight classes above your weight 43kg. So you add that with the gender difference. It's just too big for me to believe.

[sweet jetty]

From my reddit searches- there are a couple ways but none really claimed to upscale to 1080p and above so I'm not really sure

[modest leaf]

i have upscaling on my wii and its not bad but itll never be native ppi

[pliant karma]

oi morning peyton

[modest leaf]

also crt is not only vintage, it looks the best, and some games like duck hunt require it

[pliant karma]

nabbed it for over 50% off! :D

[sweet jetty]

Ayyy W

Meanwhile my trusty xm3s plan on serving me for eternity 💀

[tardy terrace]

I have a set of first-gen kraken 7.1 usb's, well over a decade old

[sweet jetty]

Im planning to get a pair of skullcandy crushers too they, they look really good

[fossil frost]

i gave my 11yo my xm3s and bought myself some xm4s 😄

[sweet jetty]

Damn

[sweet jetty]

Oh nice! Is it a significant upgrade or about the same?

[tardy terrace]

yeah the ear cups are pretty grody..

[desert ivy]

Is it a real 54% or is the kind of products that always is at 50%

[tardy terrace]

and no, I can't wash them, because these are cups I tore off an xbox stereo headset, and i superglued them on

[fossil frost]

same quality, better battery life, a few extra nice-to-have features, other than that, you are not missing much

[sweet jetty]

Replacement earcups are like 5-10 bucks lol

[desert ivy]

I rather use a dedicated USB mic. Better mic quality and you can get better quality headphones that way.

[sweet jetty]

😭

[tardy terrace]

for a decade-old product that's been EOL for over 8 years?

[sweet jetty]

Fair enough

[tardy terrace]

I doubt it.

[graceful burrow]

None without hard-modding the console

[desert ivy]

Still have my 10yo Sennheiser HD600 with the countertop finish.

[sweet jetty]

Touche, a mini xlr setup even if they're looking for reliability

[fossil frost]

a n64 emulator 🙂

[desert ivy]

Don't you need a dedicated DAC for those? The mic I have, has an XLE version but seemed to pro for my uses.

[regal harness]

I have my original N64 from 1999.

[desert ivy]

But probably would've been a better long term solution

[graceful burrow]

Damn is my reply just not good enough cause I'm right

[fossil frost]

so do i, with the upgraded memory pack, i put it in a box in the attic and i use an emulator now, for convenience and to make the n64 last longer

[regal harness]

And the phantom menace box that it came with.

[crude jasper]

i just use earbuds

[graceful burrow]

Ig not :(

[crude jasper]

no cleaning needed other than wiping them off once in a while

[fierce moth]

finally fixed my grub efi entry and heres a neofetch from my desktop

[sweet jetty]

Mhm, but some low powered ones just need a sound card and you're gucci

[sweet jetty]

[regal harness]

I'll just have to find the video and figure out what the hell he was using.

[graceful burrow]

I am tempted to open up my macbook and liquid metal for lols but I remember that I have apple care+ on it so prob not a good idea.

[sharp bobcat]

[tardy terrace]

make sure you make a barrier seal so it can't slough out

[pliant karma]

alright mid 2015 mbp taking liquid metal lol

[full fossil]

Hihihi

[tardy terrace]

yaaaaas, detail clean that cooler, too

[pliant karma]

actually you'd be surprise the little dust there is in that laptop

I barely used it just when I was at school for like 2/3 hours every other day.

[tired thorn]

Any way to boost performance of a Pentium Silver N5030?

[graceful burrow]

Replace it

[neon mesa]

ooooh yea not much to salvage there

[sturdy dune]

set clock speed to 11 ghz

[tired thorn]

Locked multiplier

I never tried msi afterburner

[tired thorn]

I'm pretty sure the laptop doesn't even have a fan..

[sturdy dune]

lol

so i played fortnite at max settings yesterday, its totally playable just only with a 4090

my 3080ti was averaging 30-50fps

[elfin jetty]

What resolution?

[sturdy dune]

1440p

so 1080p might be way better

[tired thorn]

Am I able to use an external gpu on this pentium laptop

It has 4gb ram

[elfin jetty]

Damn, im getting 50-60ish fps max settings with 3d resolution turned to 72% at 1080p on my 3060ti

[graceful burrow]

Does it have thunderbolt

[tired thorn]

A thunderbolt port? No, but it does have HDMI.

[graceful burrow]

Then no

[elfin jetty]

1080p is definitely far less stressful apparently, lol

[sturdy dune]

its crazy how good the 5800x3d is

while my 3080ti was on 100% load my 5800x3d is only at like 20% on fortnite

[elfin jetty]

Im still rocking my r5 3600. Thing is a beast even today

[sturdy dune]

i had a 3800x before, thing was nuts

[elfin jetty]

Ryzen was such a game changer

[neon mesa]

you can probably use the mini pcie or m.2 port but yeaa a pentium laptop probably don't got them

[sturdy dune]

survived 3 overheats and being ripped out the socket lol.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah def not kek

At most it'd have msata

[neon mesa]

eGPU is dumb anyway

[elfin jetty]

Jesus, i set my clock to 4.20 ghz for blazing performance

[neon mesa]

with how pricy enclosures are and how much performance is loss due to the interface

[sturdy dune]

my 3800x actually boosted higher than my 5800x3d

[neon mesa]

the 5800x3D is rather conservative with clocks

[sturdy dune]

loved that cpu but i really noticed the lack of power when i upgraded my gpu

[graceful burrow]

Good thing clock speed is a pretty shit metric to measure performance off of

[neon mesa]

the cache is very sensitive

[sturdy dune]

which is why i ended up getting it instead of a 5950x or anythinf

[neon mesa]

the 5950x will perform worse in gaming

[graceful burrow]

5800x3d isn't the same micro architecture as a 3800x so clock speed comparisons are worthless

[calm swan]

rpi W

[full fossil]

elo elo elo

[tired thorn]

Are there thunderbolt adapters

[sturdy dune]

i know all this man why do you think i bought it

[graceful burrow]

No lmao

[sweet jetty]

Cramps are a bish so ain't sleepin rn so wussup lttcord

[neon mesa]

considering you used to have X3D
then gaming is a reasonable assumption

[graceful burrow]

They'd need a 3b+, a pi 4, or a zero 2 w

[calm swan]

how tf is ur 3080ti 100% in fortnite 😭

[neon mesa]

since X3D is a CPU dedicated for that thing

[sturdy dune]

max settings fortnite is a large gap to low settings fortnite

[neon mesa]

fortnite with the new engine looks really good and is actually heavy

[tired thorn]

For laptop

[sturdy dune]

UE5 is insane

[calm swan]

i have a 3B+, perfectly fine for basic stuff and basic plex server

[calm swan]

oh i havent played in a while lol

[sturdy dune]

https://youtu.be/9ajXzxMgZBI

[neon mesa]

a 4090 at 4k will need DLSS at max settings

[graceful burrow]

I got a Lenovo thin client from someone here for my 3d printer and never set it up lol

[sturdy dune]

thats a video for this season @calm swan

4090 @ 4k

[neon mesa]

45fps on 4090 is wild

because 4090 walks through other 4k games like they're nothing

[sturdy dune]

in 1440 im thinking it would get lows of 120fps

i think its crazy the 4090 is still almost twice as powerful as my 3080ti

[neon mesa]

but eh personally i think fortnite is too heavy for the fidelity

[jaunty compass]

snes games look so good on the rg353v

man, i really need a dedicated 4:3 crt for stuff like this

[sturdy dune]

its really just cause nanite and lumen

new rendering techniques are harder to run

[neon mesa]

while giving not much in return

[sturdy dune]

i bet it will make games look way better in the future for less performance tho

because it removes LOD loading which can suck

[neon mesa]

what i'm waiting to see is that police bodycam game that looks indistinguishable from real life

[sturdy dune]

thats also on UE5

[neon mesa]

yes but not as heavy

[sturdy dune]

i hope not anyway

[harsh blade]

Say I found a graphics card at a garage sale worth it

[neon mesa]

because games right now are trying to become more real than real life they become less realistic

too many approach the over use of lighting and color

real life is quite frankly, boring looking

[sturdy dune]

ngl i really like fortnites aesthetic

ive been wanting a new jungle game to play and this season really does it for me

and there is MOVEMENT tech with the mud. mmm movement tech

[desert ivy]

I love realistic graphics. Pushing GPUs to the limit.

[elfin jetty]

great for sitting at home in winter

[neon mesa]

except most are cinematic graphics not realistic graphics

real life don't look like the RTX demos

[sturdy dune]

not so great for living in one of the hottest states during summer

luckily i have a job and a few hobbies so im not inside much anymore

[calm swan]

maybe ill play it again

[sturdy dune]

i recommend it

[desert ivy]

There's still much to improve. But RTX Demos look pretty damn good. And the closest to real life we've ever been

[neon mesa]

4090 makes my 3060 looks like trash

[sturdy dune]

overwatch pushed me into fortnite because of how anti player they have been recently

[calm swan]

no shit 💀

[neon mesa]

they're really overly cinematic and you can easily tell not real life
that new game demo (the cop bodycam game) is the closest

[sturdy dune]

i loved ow2 but the pve announcement ruined all my love for the game

[neon mesa]

a game where it actually fools your brain

[sturdy dune]

unrecord

[neon mesa]

it becomes so uncanny because at moments it looks so real

while these rtx demos don't give the same feeling

[sturdy dune]

rtx is so dogshit tbh

[neon mesa]

because they look "better than real life"

[pliant karma]

Lol the rip out of socket I feel that

[calm swan]

have u... used it?

[sturdy dune]

yes

[desert ivy]

On a 2060 perhaps?

[neon mesa]

guy got a 3080ti lol, probably yes

RTX looks good but it is not realism

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK76q13Aqt0 watch this one

[desert ivy]

You need a 40 series to get the Cyberpunk path tracing series with DLSS3 4k

[neon mesa]

this demo looks real enough some people accuse the dev of just using recording of real life

[sturdy dune]

ive tried with a 2070s and a 3080ti

[neon mesa]

the dev literally have to prove it's a real game

and not just a recording or a pre render

[desert ivy]

Yeah. It's great. Although half of it it's the photogrammetry and half is the ray tracing

[neon mesa]

it doesn't use ray tracing the same approach other games do

other games makes it look too "good" instead of making it convincingly real

[pliant karma]

Lol I do be getting looks with my shirt today

[neon mesa]

which is just artstyle choice and not a bad thing
but still

[sturdy dune]

whats it say?

[pliant karma]

Just a orange cat giving the middle finger saying “I’m not Antisocial. I’m Antistupid

[sturdy dune]

awesome

[pliant karma]

Gotta stand out a bit

[rough birch]

I thought Ray tracing was many devs answer for more "real" lighting but many I feel way overdo it to the point it is a bit weird

[neon mesa]

exactly

[desert ivy]

It uses Lumen. I don't get the argument of how they make it look "too real".

[neon mesa]

they become more cinematic than realistic

[sturdy dune]

raytracing is cool in theory but nvidea implementation is so poorly optimized as well as it being locked to certain tiers of gpu

one thing i do like about amd is FSR is available to all gpus

[neon mesa]

they overdo it and instead of becoming indistinguishable from real life it becomes better than real life

[elfin jetty]

Ah yea, im broiling in my room as we speak playing some cyberpunk

[neon mesa]

because real life looks boring

[rough birch]

To the locking part I say is too stupid of an idea that somehow has been implemented

[sturdy dune]

the fact that 30 series gpus cant even use dlss 3.0 when its pretty much required to make raytracing playable is astounding

[desert ivy]

It looks like a video game because of the assets, doesn't mean that the lightning looks bad/unrealistic. Like what's wrong is the assets not the lightning.

[elfin jetty]

See i do actually really love raytracing when it is done right, its just unfortunate that it comes with such a performance hit

[neon mesa]

like DCS World is a big example for what going for actually looking real
and it doesn't use ray tracing
real enough people mistook it for actual ukraine footage
and carrier landing footage

[past egret]

so actually it doesnt have anything to do with raytracing, its just some games do it right and some dont

[elfin jetty]

Remember when miceosoft flight sim was the crusher of computers?

[desert ivy]

Salty cuz bought a 3080ti in pandemic prices.

[graceful burrow]

I've been tricked by msfs 2020 more than once

[neon mesa]

well yeah the point is these "RTX" games aren't realistic
they're cinematic

[fierce moth]

Props to samsung for having this mode

[elfin jetty]

Same with my 3060ti.. damn near 550ish usd

[neon mesa]

i didn't say that they look bad
just not realistic

[past egret]

pretty much every "next gen" game of the time pushed tech limits

[sturdy dune]

i actually got it for 600 about 3 months ago

[neon mesa]

something is realistic if it actually fools people and require a second look

the amount of time DCS and MSFS footage fool me

while RTX Demos you can instantly tell isn't real

[elfin jetty]

If game devs would slow down on pushing the limits and focused on optimization the world would be a better place

[past egret]

arma 3 has fooled multiple news stations as real war footage but if you look up close without mods the game looks like dogshit really

[sturdy dune]

youve been repeating the same thing for like 30 minutes now

[neon mesa]

you need to repeat it until my opposition actually took it in because it is apparently hard to get in

[past egret]

i dont think anyone disagreed

[sturdy dune]

who are your opps?

[neon mesa]

well lome did

[desert ivy]

[neon mesa]

or i think did
since he keeps making counter argument

[sturdy dune]

yeah no one disagrees about unrecord looking realistic man

[neon mesa]

it's not about unrecord anymore

[sturdy dune]

crazy? i was crazy once.

[neon mesa]

my point was RTX games aren't realistic they're cinematic

[desert ivy]

Because it's a dumb argument. Realistic lightning is too unrealistic. Like what? 🤦🏾And then you use unrecord which looks realistic because of the photogrammetry WITH realistic ray tracing.

It uses Lumen the latest from UE5

[hollow knot]

[pure olive]

Soldering tought me a lot

[graceful burrow]

You charge it once every two months for thirty minutes kek

[neon mesa]

it's overall more inconvenient
i don't think it's worth saving this 15 bucks mouse

off to the e-waste bin

Depending on the time of day politics is covered in #public-chat or #tech-chat-2

[full fossil]

Sleepy Biden

[wise pumice]

[gilded quest]

Off topic is for filthy plebs to post images since they don't have embed permission in public chat

[wise pumice]

[gilded quest]

not trying to cause any trouble but for the past year, ive had these really annoying neighbors who constantly blast music through their bluetooth speaker day n night. (asking for a friend) how do i disable the speaker or bluetooth thing?

[desert ivy]

I had Floatplane for 2 months and didn't watch a single video.

[fossil frost]

you go round and ask them to stop

or, if its between 8am and 10pm, theres nothing you can do about it

[cedar owl]

have before and called cops but i live in florida so they dont do anything

[desert ivy]

Move

[cedar owl]

its like between 8am-7:59am

[fossil frost]

tough tits then im afraid

[gilded quest]

Are electronic jammers legal?

[fossil frost]

no

[desert ivy]

What do you think?

[cedar owl]

so if my friend wanted to buy a electronic jammer, where would my friend buy one that works for bluetooth speakers

[fossil frost]

you would have to jam all 2.4ghz, which would kill wifi as well as bluetooth

[dull granite]

just turn them off

[cedar owl]

but if im on 5ghz then.....

[fossil frost]

until your computer tries to negotiate 2.4ghz when you are out of range, or until anyone else in the vacinity tries to use 2.4ghz

[desert ivy]

You'll ruin the WiFi for all your neighbors.

[pliant karma]

hmm this I know way too well. My neighbor too is like this at certain times so I have been able to reltaiate a bit then again my family has had issues with them since they moved in

I'm the only instigator occastionally cause i can care less

[fossil frost]

signal jamming, or, broadcasting on any 2.4ghz band, with an unauthorised device, is super illegal too, and can land you with huge fines, or in jail, and yes, they can tell where the signal jaming is coming from

[desert ivy]

I kinda hope you do it and you get caught and get handled a 10,000 dollar fine. Cause ruining WiFi for all your neighbors is a terrible thing to do

[long briar]

https://tenor.com/view/shamery-l-bozo-gif-24338606

[wise pumice]

wut is dis

oh you paid them on that silly app

[cedar owl]

for reference, i dont want to disable all wifi bands for all my neighbors and ruin my whole neighborhood, but genuinely cant sleep at night or mow my lawn without some reggaetón playing at 130db

[long briar]

illegal, your best bet is just tell them, then file a noise complaint

[fossil frost]

to jam bluetooth, you jam ALL 2.4ghz, which means you jam all bluetooth in the area and all wifi in the area, and anything else that uses 2.4ghz

[long briar]

^

[desert ivy]

Only for them to switch to an Aux cable.

[long briar]

[spiral summit]

Improvised explosive device

[wise pumice]

ied ftw

[pliant karma]

time to infiltrate and cut that aux cable jk

[spiral summit]

Jams the speaker and the listener

[long briar]

you can't, it's illegal. you'd need to build one

[fossil frost]

and doing that sort of thing, is very very noticeable to people, including the authorities... and will probably guarantee that you get to move to a new "apartment" for 6-18 months for illegally broadcasting on a restricted frequency

[wise pumice]

just shoot them in the head and theyll be quite

[spiral summit]

Are you trying to build an emp or something

[long briar]

no, wireless jammer

[cedar owl]

not trying to blow up my whole city 😆 . but its the fact that my headset can be on and i can hear the low frequencies bouncing around in my head. they dont even point it at their house

[desert ivy]

How curious my neighbor always mows his lawn when I'm playing my music 😡

[elfin solar]

It is the American way.

[wise pumice]

🦅

[pliant karma]

ha mines complains because I have my security camera alarms going off at night for the smallest moving leaf/branch

[calm swan]

https://www.fcc.gov/general/jammer-enforcement#:~:text=The use of a phone,classroom%2C residence%2C or vehicle.

[pliant karma]

I'm like yes it is sensitive but it works that is all I care, complain all you want

[calm swan]

federal crime lmao dont

[desert ivy]

Look for some soundscape podcasts on Spotify. I leave them on to drown up sounds

[cedar owl]

🫣

[desert ivy]

I don't get that sociopath attitude of not fixing it so your neighbors are happy.

[wise pumice]

ye sorry i also reccomended that method to my friend

the method works in all types of situations

[calm swan]

stupid america
-american

[fossil frost]

also... regular 4g runs between 2.3 and 2.5ghz, so there is a chance you would jam whatever channel their phone is running on too... and that... super jail time

[pliant karma]

oh trust me he complained about the property line fence falling over.....my parents and I agreed hey let's split the cost since we both want it fixed. He refuses so now we let it sit until it falls which I have a camera watching the fence. Basically all that beef started over a simple fence replacement

[calm swan]

fcc clearly says federal crime, meaning ur even more fucked

[regal harness]

Is there an HOA to complain to that their contanst blasting of music to your property is causing you to not be able to enjoy your property and bring down its value?

[fossil frost]

yep, see my comment mentioning "super jail" 😄

[calm swan]

oh lmao woops

[cedar owl]

so if i just scanned nearby wifi and found their wifi (cant miss the name of the wifi since its in spanish) then started packet flooding the wifi to get their wifi down..... legal?

[desert ivy]

I've watched enough Judge Judy to know neighbor feuds are not worth it.

[fossil frost]

no, thats signal jamming, and illegal

[cedar owl]

or if i just started streaming 16k footage on their internet

[pliant karma]

He's made very random reports like my grandpa doing yard work outside and just other bullshit things so I am like aight you do you my only retaliation is my camera alarms at night that like to go off more or less every 1 to 2 hours depending what goes by it.

[cedar owl]

doesnt sound illegal i just want to watch 16k animals

[fossil frost]

you are essentially creating a bunch of noise on the 2.4ghz band, which is exactly what signal jamming is

[fossil frost]

depends what the animals are doing, or what you are doing while watching the animals

[vapid smelt]

Just prop it up with scrap wood

[fossil frost]

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-jailed-after-carrying-out-27174456

[pliant karma]

lol that's basically what is holding it up on our end+some plants

[cedar owl]

whAT

[fossil frost]

he whacked one out over a seagull while holding it down

[pliant karma]

ayo wtf

[vapid smelt]

....sooo

Tech?

[fossil frost]

he was watching other animals on a computer at the time

[desert ivy]

Reporting someone vs waking people in the middle of the night. It doesn't seem proportional... Like all you are doing is so that he retaliates even worse. Fighting with your neighbors is like the dumbest thing you can do as you can only lose.

[calm swan]

just go to a public library or starbucks...

if u wanna use internet

packet flooding is jamming which is a federal crime

[cedar owl]

soooooo

[fossil frost]

thats also a crime, breaking into a private network for unauthorised use

[calm swan]

go to a mcdonalds, starbucks, or library and stream video off of their free internet

[pliant karma]

yea at this point I am just taking a back seat with this though hey my office is next to their bathroom so occasional metal music session on my speakers lol

I like having my speakers almost loud sometimes when I am in the zone

[vapid smelt]

The danger zone?

[pliant karma]

yes

when that right song hits you just gotta turn it up all the way

[sturdy dune]

danger zone is so good

[vapid smelt]

Got to feed your tinnitus

[pliant karma]

lol

[desert ivy]

Although I can't judge. I share one wall with my neighbor and the subwoofer alone is 700usd

But just crank it every now and then

[sturdy dune]

sick

[pliant karma]

I can't stand quiet rooms so need some sort of white noise when I sleep or am in there

[sturdy dune]

i want to have a good audio system someday but cant justify it yet

[desert ivy]

I just use it for movies/tv series. So it's really about Two times a week.

[sturdy dune]

my friend has a pretty killer setup in his house, but they also watch movies a few times a day

but thats also between 4 people

[desert ivy]

A receiver + bookshelf speakers are a great way to start.

[sturdy dune]

i actually had a solid reciever i got from goodwill at some point

other than insane power draw, i liked it a lot

20$ tho, cant really beat that

[drifting prism]

I do that. It works amazing

[elfin jetty]

Finally upgrading to 32gb of ram, already have a 16gb kit so im jut buying a matching set

[desert ivy]

Then you get a subwoofer when your budget allows it. And you are set.

But with speakers you get what you pay for. So keep that in mind too

[drifting prism]

I have a Sony k840p with 2 bookshelf speakers and the original 100w sub

[sturdy dune]

i posted a pic of my old setup with reciever as an amp in #screenshots

[fossil frost]

speakers within a given brand name, quality increases with price. but you cannot really compare price across brands. i.e. a £2000 set of B&O speakers may sound exactly the same as a set of £800 sony speakers

[drifting prism]

Thrift stores have the best selection for the best price

[sturdy dune]

funny my parents are opening a thrift store

[drifting prism]

I got 2 speakers worth probably $30 $40 each for only $6

@sturdy dune what receiver do you use

[desert ivy]

If you like them and use them then that's great. Eventually you'll want to save up for something a little more premium. Like the RP like from Klipsch or from KEF, SVS

[sturdy dune]

i used some kenwood 850 thing forgot the exact name

i have a better pic of it somewhere let me find it

#screenshots

i dont use it anymore, i have a scarlet solo now

[drifting prism]

The only problem I have with my setup is the speaker ports are damaged and are not loud and the radio is messed up

[jolly sonnet]

hi\

[pure olive]

My mom just offered to pay me if I cut my hair

[drifting prism]

Risky

[low rain]

My keyboard is so dirty holy shit

[fossil frost]

only accept if you actually want to do it, dont let her bribe or force you to do something you dont want to do

[desert ivy]

Listen to your mom. Chances are she's right

[pure olive]

I am very against cutting my hair

[fossil frost]

then dont accept the money until the amount of money becomes "stupid" and worth selling your principals for

[pure olive]

That’s past $500

[fossil frost]

then you know your minimum offer 🙂

[drifting prism]

Scamming your mom is wild

[fossil frost]

i have 3 kids, would never force or bribe them into doing something i knew they didnt want to do, its just wrong.. .and, as somebody whos parents tried that with them, im even more against it

but, that being said, everyone has a price for everything, it might be a high price, but there is always a price

[drifting prism]

Lol

[pure olive]

She’s the one trying to force me into cutting my hair

[drifting prism]

Oh

[pure olive]

I love that my hair is long

[desert ivy]

Maybe she just want him to look presentable. There's really nothing wrong with it

[fossil frost]

you can look presentable AND have long hair, i was able to do it, my 11yo is able to do it...

[pure olive]

I take care of it, it looks good

My parents just don’t like that I have long hair because hur dur men don’t have long hair

[fossil frost]

my 11yo has the "jack grearlish" cut, undercut with it long on top and pulled back
