Ive used mint before and it ran beautifully but for some reason it doesn’t anymore

[full fossil]

How was it horrible?

[crystal pike]

It was lagging and stutterinf like crazy

[full fossil]

what linux version was it

[crystal pike]

I redownloaded the iso yesterday and i will try to re-install it today and see if it might just be because of the old iso

[crystal pike]

If you’re talking about the kernel, its the 5.15 since it works best with my hardware

[full fossil]

no, the old one that didn't work well

[crystal pike]

Yeah it was 5.15

[ashen zodiac]

@crystal pike i mean if ur happy with it as a hackintosh why don't you put a newer macOS that's still updated on it?

[full fossil]

ah I got confused for a minute

I thought you already installed a new version

[crystal pike]

I was going to say i cant because i lost my usb drive but i just remembered a way that might work

Highly unlikely but still worth a shot

[gilded forge]

this is a really specific circumstance and idek if there's a tool or not for it. does anyone know if there's a Linux program (specifically arch because I use EndeavourOS) that can run diagnostics and detect corrupted files in a Windows partition?

[ashen zodiac]

https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

available here https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/testdisk/

you can analyze partitions, to recovery and a lot more. it's way more in depth than i can understand so i'd recommend reading through the website @gilded forge

and as always if it's critical data don't mess with it @gilded forge just go to a recovery service

[fossil frost]

FYI, if you have that on your computer, and the police ever come to your house, they WILL use that tool as evidence against you as evidence for hacking, even though its not

[ashen zodiac]

what the fuck? it's an open source data recovery tool what are you talking about

[fossil frost]

im talking about when the police came to my house, and they made a mistake, and they came to the wrong persons house, and i had nothing to do with what they were investigating, but, they did state in several reports that there was no evidence of "data recovery software, which is software indicative of illegal activity"

[ashen zodiac]

what country was this in?

[fossil frost]

uk

[ashen zodiac]

UK police man, i see tons of stuff on twitter about em

[fossil frost]

yes, utterly corrupt and incompetent, doesnt stop someone from getting caught up in their bullshit though

[ashen zodiac]

i guess. data recovery software being "indicative of illegal activity" what a joke

[graceful burrow]

Illegal to want photo memories of gran ig

[wheat spindle]

Hey

[gilded forge]

aren't most police departments corrupt

[fossil frost]

to a point, yes, but the capital city police (London MET) and the 2nd largest force (Greater Manchester Police), are both under investigation right now, and under "special measures" meaning they are under extreme scrutiny by several 3rd parties... because of "systemic corruption, racism, sexism and many other problems"

Amazing font choice

[elfin jetty]

[idle nymph]

How tf is it in comic ms

[fossil frost]

comic sans is THE font of choice for many people for many reasons, my fiancé uses it on the computers where she works because she helps dyslexic kids, and comic sans makes reading MUCH easier if you have dyslexia

[idle nymph]

Well thanks for explaining that, but how tf is his window font comic sans ? I wanna use it

[fossil frost]

you can change it in appearance settings in windows, its a basic setting thats been there since win95

[summer folio]

Windows Classic Theme is best theme btw

It's not included in Windows 10, right?

garbage OS
Windows XP had Windows Classic Theme included.

[fossil frost]

ahh, its NOT a basic setting anymore... you need to do it in regedit... https://www.howtogeek.com/716407/how-to-change-the-default-system-font-on-windows-10

[idle nymph]

Nice

make every icon fortnite

[summer folio]

https://nordic.ign.com/starfield/68712/news/pete-hines-starfield-wouldnt-be-out-in-nine-weeks-if-it-was-releasing-on-ps5

[gilded forge]

change default font

[summer folio]

Douchebag Microhard, let Betheseseda release Skyrim 2 & the spacecraft game on PS4/5 also smh

[gilded forge]

you should remove those shortcut icon things

[summer folio]

"That being said, Hines also implied that he was blindsided by Xbox's commitments to bring Activision games like Call of Duty to PlayStation and other platforms, while Bethesda games remained strictly Xbox exclusive. Hines said the messaging surrounding Call of Duty confused him, since it was "the opposite of what we were just asked — told — to do with our other titles".

Come on maaan, let Bethesda be free. 😔

[gilded forge]

exclusivity needs to exist, bc without it tgeresno reason to go for one console or the other, rather than the UX.

[summer folio]

"Hines said no one at Xbox gave Bethesda a heads up about the Call of Duty decision, and that he thought Phil Spencer would explain in an interview why the multiplatform approach is acceptable for Activision games like Call of Duty, but not Bethesda games like Starfield of The Elder Scrolls VI."

[idle nymph]

Fuck exclusivity

[full fossil]

it's official i borked my cpu only 3 of the memory channels work now

to think im this calm is a bit of a shock to me

[elfin jetty]

how?

whjat cpu is it

[summer folio]

So, just put 2x16GB in Channel 1, & a 32GB stick in channel 2, gg ez.

[gilded forge]

when es6 was announced 5 years ago no one really questioned the exclusivity. no one has a problem with that. CoD is the biggest fps franchise in the world. ofc it gets that attention (despite it being literally so stale, unoriginal, boring, and overall toxic)

[full fossil]

was doing some routine cleaning and i took my cpu out of the system and dropped it on carpet

[sturdy dune]

now draw a new fortnite icon and set it as that

[full fossil]

it's 3700x

which go for cheap if i wanted 4 sticks again but i was playing on downgrading to 2 but bigger ones

[summer folio]

All or nothing.

[full fossil]

lol whats stupid i have myself on video dropping the cpu

[elfin jetty]

gaddamn, fortnite sits at 16gb in the lobby

[fossil frost]

a 3700x only has 2 memory channels, not 4. and your ram is either in series, or in parallel connected to those 2 channels, so if you cant see 1 of your 4 sticks of ram, its because the ram isnt seated properly, or the motherboard has a damaged trace

[full fossil]

it only does dual channel but i have had 32GB for last 2 years

hmm maybe dim 2 is borked, always hated the ram slots on my board

[fossil frost]

you have damaged the motherboard or unseated the ram while you were doing your cleaning, with how the ram is wired to the cpu, it can either see 2 sticks, or 4 sticks, unless one of the ram modules or the motherboard, is damaged

[elfin jetty]

this is just in the lobby

[full fossil]

lol tbh idk i always had issues with the ram in the past

why comic sans!

[elfin jetty]

I love comic sans

[spare nebula]

yh ram is anoying

espescially mismathced sticks

[full fossil]

hmm

[spare nebula]

spent 2hrs messing with timings to get a stable system today

[fossil frost]

tbh, im considering going 64gb, but not sure if i can be arsed, even when i build HUGE projects, i never max out 32gb

[full fossil]

im gonna be upgrading to 64GB as 32GB for what i do is not enough

[elfin jetty]

mine are technically mismatched, the originals were 3600mhz but it kept crashing so i just set it to 3200 and then saved some money on a second 3200mhz set of ram

[fossil frost]

what do you do?

[full fossil]

although now im gonna just have to use slot 1 and 3

[elfin jetty]

but they are the same sticks of ram, gskill ripjaws v

[full fossil]

Video editing and i play games with a lotta mods

speaking of ram my shit went back down to 2666.... ugh i'll fix that later

[spare nebula]

mine are mismathed in ever way diffrent colour , brand capacity , timing , mhz

[fossil frost]

video editing shouldnt use much ram, it will use a fuck ton of vram, but if its using loads of system ram, you are doing it wrong

[elfin jetty]

jesus

[full fossil]

i also play minecraft with 200+ mods and some of the mods can eat a lotta ram

[spare nebula]

more ram tho so

[elfin jetty]

18gb while in a match, dayum

[full fossil]

VRChat always tends to take upwards of 5 - 10GB

[spare nebula]

waht game

[elfin jetty]

fortnite

[full fossil]

tbh minecraft and vrchat are just badly optimized games

[fossil frost]

ah, so you are using a lot of system ram because you are a child who has a new toy

[full fossil]

i use a lotta ram because i can

[spare nebula]

i use lots of ram cuz mods as well

[elfin jetty]

modded minecraft is sexy

[full fossil]

i actually had task manager i was low on ram a few days ago

[spare nebula]

and mulitasking and wathcing multiple shows while gaming cuz adhd brain

[full fossil]

i've never seen it do that, also don't remind me about video memory

if anything my pc i built 3 years ago i thought would be fine for 6 years

[spare nebula]

i wanna upgrade my 3070 to 16gb but i have nowhere near the solding skills and im not paying for a pro to do it

[full fossil]

oh yea i will be playing a game and have like 12 tabs open in chrome

[spare nebula]

my 233 chrome tabs

https://tenor.com/view/suit-slideshow-man-in-suit-sitting-man-wearing-suit-sitting-slideshow-man-wearing-suit-meme-gif-25275395

[full fossil]

3 years ago i wanted a 2070 super but there were none in stock so i settled with a non s 2070

although now it's showing its age a bit

[spare nebula]

only reason i have a 3070 is my 1080ti died and i got it as a replacment cuz the 1080 ti was under warranty

wish i got an arc a770 insted tho

[elfin jetty]

keks in 3060ti

[full fossil]

im glad i didn't wait at the time for when the 3000 series came out because most of my friends paid 2x the msrp or got ripped off

[elfin jetty]

I play a huge range of titles including older ones so the performance sacrafice wasnt really worth it to me

[elfin jetty]

me paying over 500usd for my 3060ti

[full fossil]

although my friend somehow got a 3080 for £500

then again he says FB market place is full of idiots

[loud bolt]

hi

[elfin jetty]

it was for a good cause though, i built my friend a gaming pc with my old gtx 1070

[full fossil]

i plan on building my brother a new system but is a bit faster but more power efficient

plus i can then sell that RX 480 that is in his current system and get some extra cash

[summer folio]

You don't have to play the bad Java version
You can play the good Bedrock edition

[full fossil]

bedrock has no mods

[summer folio]

Bedrock is superior

[full fossil]

all i play is modded, vanilla is boring

as i have been playing since 1.8

[elfin jetty]

[fossil frost]

and modded is stupid and not really "the game"

[full fossil]

minecraft is a sanbox games that lets you play how you want to

[elfin jetty]

bro wha? the entire point of mods is to enhance the game

[full fossil]

i've heard the argument a billion times but im having fun with the mods i throw at it

something mojang takes years trying to do

[elfin jetty]

how are ya gonna call mods stupid when the game is meant to be played however you want to play it

[summer folio]

PS3 Minecraft Version in Split Screen mode is the best tho, obviously.

[still plover]

anyone know how I can get the defualt cursor for windows 10 since I changed it and don't know how to change it back

[graceful burrow]

How do I call my friend a dingus in swedish

[still plover]

I get a weird one

[summer folio]

I don't know that word, sorry haha

[still plover]

I can't post images

[elfin jetty]

i never realized how tiny that 1070 actually was compared to my 3060ti till it came in

[fossil frost]

its a softer version of "idiot"

[still plover]

I'll show in dms @summer folio

[dull tapir]

my 1080 was still pretty huge

[summer folio]

Mupp maybe

[dull tapir]

new ones are just way bigger

[still plover]

go in dms

[summer folio]

I would go with mupp,
less aggressive way of insulting someone with idiot?

[graceful burrow]

Fair

[fossil frost]

yeah, where "idiot" is genuinely insulting their inteligence, "dingus" is more like, they accidentally dropped a spanner on their foot in a way they should really have known was gonna happen

[summer folio]

"Mupp can be described as "(slang) person who generally has bad taste and is characterized by stupidity, ignorance, rudeness and disruptive behavior"."

[still plover]

@summer folio Where do I click more?

[summer folio]

Mupp can be said while smiling to your friend when his being whimsy
As well as in a dissmissive/mean non-joking way, like by a cheerleader as respond to a geek in a typical teenage movie

[graceful burrow]

Mupp would be taken as short for Muppet here
Which is an actual insult lmao
Languages are fun

[fossil frost]

also a very similar insult 😄

[graceful burrow]

Muppet is more mean, personal

[neon mesa]

"dipshit" has some charm on it

that i can't explain

[summer folio]

That would be my standard response when someone said mupp to me in middle school.

"Well actually, a mupp is an animal without a reproductive organ, so no. I am not a mupp."

[elfin jetty]

kermit looks like hes about to commit genocide

[oak cloak]

thats the point lol

well now to clone this drive

Arsonist Elmo

[oak cloak]

a bit of arson never hurt anyone

[pliant karma]

Lol I remember back in HS freshman year my friends and I had a dedicated elmo worship section on our server

[oak cloak]

time to save up for a 5950x then lol

may aswell max this platform out now

[pliant karma]

lol I did that a year ago with my 5900x but yea end of the line for my system with upgrades

[oak cloak]

thining a nice new 5950x and a nice 128gb ram

[pliant karma]

maybe a gpu upgrade but at this point my system just sits there barely used when I am docked on my laptop 99% of the time

[oak cloak]

just for them 2 extra chrome tabs it gets me over 32gb ram lol

[pliant karma]

I'm just keeping my system updated every so often for now

[oak cloak]

i like upgradeing older stuff more or stuff you never ment to upgrade

one thing i did was upgrade my surface pro 2 from 8gb to 16gb ram
pointless ye
worth it ye
good for bragging about owning the only 16gb surface pro 2 in know exsistance

[pliant karma]

though I have used my main system to run many am4 cpus mostly testing them for friends before/after they upgrade

[oak cloak]

hardest part of that was not desoldring and soldring in new ram tho
hardest part was just opening the thing

[pliant karma]

lol that's nice my last laptop had 64gb but I scaled that back to 32 when I got my new one recently

apple just charges a lot for the 64gb option so I was fine with 32.

[oak cloak]

apple just pull random numbers out there ass for what they charge

[pliant karma]

only thing that was changed was m2 pro to the max but other then that everything else I kept as is configured

[oak cloak]

i am now also looking for a 2tb msata drive to max ouot my surface pro 2

they do exsist but only in some samsung usb ssd

[pliant karma]

lol surgery time

[oak cloak]

hell ye

16gb ram
2tb ssd
surface pro 2

wonder if a cpu upgrade is posable if i can find a compatable one lol

[pliant karma]

[oak cloak]

do just love dumb mods lol

[ionic abyss]

ok i repurchased a 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth controller i hope this one is more durable than my last one wich broke the r2/l2 buttons falling off a desk onto a carpeted floor

not even a 4ft drop

[oak cloak]

wonder if going completly ott and finding pcie and adding nvme would work on a pro 2 lol

i doubt an i5 4200u could boot from nvme but be a fun thing to try

[ionic abyss]

4200????????

why such a old cpu

[oak cloak]

well ye surface pro 2 is old lol

only realy use it now for drawing and codeing on when out lol

[ionic abyss]

i have been running a 12700k oc'd to 7.4ghz myself for a while

i won the silicon lottery with this chip i guess

[pliant karma]

I have a 3 pro somewhere in my shelf of laptops lol. Base model so it was basic basic

[ocean narwhal]

what did twomad do

[oak cloak]

better than my surface rt that runs android 7.1.2 lol

[gilded quest]

it should be private because that video is cringe as fuck and painful to watch

[ocean narwhal]

i didnt even watch it

[gilded quest]

i don't think i finished it

[ionic abyss]

i have tried to push the 12700k past 7.4ghz but it crashes if i do so

stable at 7.4 though

[ocean narwhal]

man all latest ltt vids are garbag

[thin fjord]

shame, guess you'll have to settle for 7.4hz

[ocean narwhal]

the water cooling one was decent but why do they haev buzzfeed writers doing top 10's now

oh. woweee

[dusty rune]

i need to find an emulator on pc for android 4 or 5

[oak cloak]

android x86 + virtualbox

[thin fjord]

someone called him a loner and he reponded saying 'this my gf' and it was a picture of the 17yo who was killed for being trans, but the picture was from when she was 15-16 i think

[dusty rune]

ill try

[ocean narwhal]

typical streamer behavior

[ionic abyss]

this discord does have filters i see

i wont touch any trans subjects

dont care its your life do what you want

[full fossil]

A lot

[ocean narwhal]

warship bans the dumbest of words

[ionic abyss]

hogwarts legacy discord ban is one major reason

[pliant karma]

Lol my dual system if you’re curious. @oak cloak

[oak cloak]

discord nsfw filter is worce lol

[ionic abyss]

let the dumbys bother me and told them were i can go

were they*

[oak cloak]

you could upload a cat pic and poof it be nsfw but a pp pic and that be fine lol

[ocean narwhal]

how expensive was the mac stand

[ionic abyss]

the discord mods for hogwarts legacy need to learn how to manage a OFFICAL SUPPORT CHANNEL

[pliant karma]

lol just some random stand off amazon that just works 10$~ hehe

[oak cloak]

my main pc is just in a
cheap case i got for free from size of road

[full fossil]

Size of road?

[oak cloak]

dont even know the brand or anything

[ocean narwhal]

nice, actually looks good

[pliant karma]

unironcally space grey too

[oak cloak]

but its very heavy

[ionic abyss]

i had the fun of 15min slow mode with morons spouting bs then a ban for telling morons off

[ocean narwhal]

Even 10s slow mode is almost unsable, 15min slow mode might as well leave the server

[ionic abyss]

the game earned my bad review just for how their discord was handled

good game wont consider changing my review

[oak cloak]

but it holds all the parts so idc lol
newer cases just seem kinda meh tbh
i just wanna keep my disk drive bay and floppy bay lol

[ionic abyss]

flopy????????

who uses floppy discks

[oak cloak]

me

[full fossil]

Me as well

[ionic abyss]

disks

why use a floppy

[oak cloak]

old pc

[full fossil]

Small files

And just fun to use

[ionic abyss]

ok i still use flopys on my ibm xt

[oak cloak]

better than a zip drive

[pliant karma]

lol I have a mp4 file of rick roll on a floppy disk somewher just need to find it.

[oak cloak]

best use

[ionic abyss]

i might use flopies for boot disks on my old p1 dos pc

[slim barn]

Handy for storing a 1TB archive across 1,000,000 disks.

[ionic abyss]

i am still proud of my boot disk wich gave me 610kb free after loading all drivers sound/cd and more in dos

[oak cloak]

if you have old pc a floppy drive is very usefull to have
if not well maybe get a floppy bay sd card reader

[ionic abyss]

you know how hard it was to get 610kb of 640kb free with all drivers loaded?

[oak cloak]

lol

[ionic abyss]

i dont miss the days of dos

[oak cloak]

dos is best

[broken folio]

me either, well not that side of it

[ionic abyss]

you might not think the order of the lines in your config.sys and autoexe.bat matter but they real do

[broken folio]

back then if you had scsi devices (especially your storage) then getting more than 560-580Kb was pretty much impossible usually as on early boards in the 486 era, the scsi drivers couldn't be loaded into high memory.

[oak cloak]

i do wish there was newer pc with an isa slot aswell

hell even just pci would be good to have for plugin in some old firewire cards

[ionic abyss]

wouldnt be hard to implement

isnt there pcie to isa board?

[broken folio]

Some mad person found theres still ISA signals on modern systems, and found a way to get a working ISA connection via the TPM socket

[oak cloak]

someone did make a tpm modual slot into a isa

ye that lol

[broken folio]

PCI-e to PCI converter chips do exist, but the support and compatibility can be poor

I imagine the compatibility and support for PCI-e->ISA would be even worse

[oak cloak]

ye lol

hell win10 and firewire is enught of a pain in its self to get working

[broken folio]

yeah, firewire had such potential.

[ionic abyss]

and would you like amd or intel mobo with isa lol

[fossil frost]

firewire was too closed off, not an open protocol

[broken folio]

USB won out mostly because it wasn't encumbered by patent licencing requirements, so the cheaper tech effectively won

[ionic abyss]

i found both am4 and 12/13th gen intel boards with isa and pcie slots

[oak cloak]

firewire is also very very dead

[fossil frost]

usb was also the better tech

[broken folio]

Firewire had the same benefits of the SCSI vs IDE days, ie the processesing was taken away from the CPU in Firewire/SCSI.

[oak cloak]

firewire could be dasy chained and pass upto 30v of power

[broken folio]

Not in every respect. USB is dependant on the CPU for doing the processing. Which had performance impacts, especially in the days Firewire was around still

[ionic abyss]

oops the amd board only supports upto 5th gen ryzen

5000 series

[broken folio]

6000 has never come to desktop.

(that is never in a CPU package for AM4 or AM5)

[ionic abyss]

not sure those mobos i found are intended for consumer use lol

[broken folio]

probably not

[oak cloak]

also firewire is fun to mess about with
can connect all my pc together with a few firewire cables and make a firewire network lol
thats usefull for giving internet and storage to my old powerbook g4

[neon mesa]

they might made a desktop variant eventually like they did to 4000

[broken folio]

probably industrial usage

[neon mesa]

give extra juice to Am4

AMD still produce even B450 chipset they probably plan on keeping it alive for a while

[broken folio]

They haven't so far. I think they've skipped it to focus on 7000/RDNA3 APU designs, which will be AM5 only

[ionic abyss]

i feel amd has better cpus overall vs intel

i went intel for onboard graphics at the same price

[oak cloak]

amd apu are better if you plan on gameing on one

[broken folio]

AMDs onboard graphics are better than intel's by a large extent

[neon mesa]

i feel like people are often overexaggerating how good 5000G iGPUs are

[ionic abyss]

i have a 4080 in this pc and a 3080 on a shelf and a unoped 4090 if i need it

[neon mesa]

as good as they are, at the end of they day they perform like a 750ti at best

[ionic abyss]

unopened*

[broken folio]

better than anything Intel has developed up until Arc.

[ionic abyss]

so i wont game on the igpu

[oak cloak]

use to have an old a10-7850k lol

[neon mesa]

dGPU is miles better

[ionic abyss]

imagine if intel could transform a a770 into a igpu

[oak cloak]

use to play fallout nv on that for so long lol

[neon mesa]

the intel i7-8809G has Vega M GH which performs 2.5x faster than 5700G's iGPU, interesting isn't it

[broken folio]

Of course it is. But if all you can get is iGPU, then amd is currently the best available. When they release desktop APUs with RDNA3 they'll be pretty compelling for low cost small form factor builds I think

[neon mesa]

the catch is the Vega M GH eats 100 watts

[ionic abyss]

intel dedicated gpus are not as bad as folks make them out to be its realy a matter of driver optimization

[oak cloak]

then someone was selling a fx 8300 for £5 with a few bent pins
so got that and a motherboard and after bending pins back it worked perfectly
and still dose to this day

[neon mesa]

i'd take a Ryzen 3 3100 with a used RX 580 anyday, it will perform 4x better than iGPUs

[pliant karma]

lol there ya go this is how much I had to compress it. literally fucking pixels to fit into that 1.36mb floppy

[neon mesa]

i used to game on a 2200G's Vega 8, oh it was dark times

[oak cloak]

lol nice

[ionic abyss]

i suspect the arc gpus with gain 20% or more preformance over the next year

[neon mesa]

now i'm on a 3060 lel

[ionic abyss]

eeek a poor mans gpu

[broken folio]

doubtful, battlemage is on the way, they'll be focussed on that I hope

[oak cloak]

my fx 8300 is now just my nas and tf2 server lol

[broken folio]

iGPU is the poor persons GPU tbh.

[ionic abyss]

intel needs to compete on price not preformance in the gpu market

[broken folio]

the problem with the 4000 and 5000G chips is that they have a lot less cache than other non-APU chips, which really hurts their performance

[oak cloak]

and i also have 64gb ram for an fx pc coz i could

[ionic abyss]

they wont outpreform nvidia

[neon mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCM8ziBj2P8&t=161s something you might be interested to look at

AMD's best Vega "iGPU" is on intel

[broken folio]

No one will. nVidia would need a serious screw up to be caught in the top end

[broken folio]

how much cache does that intel chip have compared with the 5000G chips?

[ionic abyss]

intel might in 4 generations match nvidia but i doubt intels intrest will last that long

[broken folio]

they won't as nvidia is too far ahead, each generation they'll catch up a bit. But nVidia at this point isn't even caring to try now.

[neon mesa]

compared to 5600G
same L1, half L2 and L3

but doesn't really matter as the Vega M GH will bottleneck it far before the cache

[broken folio]

that will make a big difference to the performance of the chip

[neon mesa]

cache is the last thing to worry as 8809G is 8th gen

the CPU performance is way shittier

but still better than the 2400G which is the only equivalence at the time

[ionic abyss]

i think of amd making gpus i dont see the same quality ati was doing

i dont see amd catching nvdia

[broken folio]

no, their budgets are too small

[neon mesa]

they haven't catched up the top of the line for over a decade

the last time AMD's top card is faster than nvidia's top card is 2009 with the HD5970

[pliant karma]

praise 100x74 resolution 8bit mono audio too

[broken folio]

they're also much more interested in the mobile and SoC markets, which is where most of the APU/iGPU development comes from

[oak cloak]

lol its perfect

[neon mesa]

i wonder if i can restore this image using stable diffusion

[pliant karma]

oh did I mention I have the 4k remasterd version too

which was what this video was before I just downsampled the crap out of it

[neon mesa]

now it's actually 100px wide

[nova basin]

Also tech tip:don't try to run doom on a toaster from e bay

It exploded and caught fire 😃

[wind pulsar]

The 780M is probably gonna come dangerously close to it, it's nowhere near even two times now
But then again the 780M is much more expensive to come by so oh well

[neon mesa]

the RX 580 is i am guessing still in the between 1060 and 1070 area, still decently far enough

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, 1060 is a very good guess, it's around 1060 6GB area

[neon mesa]

issue is there isn't many benchmarks

the benchmark where 780m beats a 1650 is on a 1650 laptop

so there isn't much reference point

[broken folio]

if 780M comes to desktop as an iGPU its liable to be much better than the mobile ones, as the power constraints and CU size will be less of a problem

[vapid smelt]

gtx 1060 3gb, 5gb, 6gb, 6gb gddr5x, or the 1060 6 GB 9Gbps

[neon mesa]

wew nvidia

whatever the first 1060 6GB is

[broken folio]

probably the gddr5 i expect. The ddr4 model followed it iIRC, the 5Gb was china only i think?

[neon mesa]

fun fact, AMD released a better RX 560 and only gave it to china

the RX 560XT performs nearly like an RX 570
which would be godly at the time

oddly enough

at the same time they gave china a crippled RX 580, the 2048SP

[ashen zodiac]

what version would this be?

[neon mesa]

probably the original one

[vapid smelt]

1060 6 GB Rev. 2

[neon mesa]

it is virtually identical to rev 1

same die, same clocks, same cores

[vapid smelt]

im not sure i just now nvidia made a fuck ton of 1060s

[broken folio]

the xx60 range is where most of the profits lie, so not surprising really

[neon mesa]

like wtf is the revision 2 for

[broken folio]

winning the xx90 range is great for marketing and such, but it doens't bring the profits

[neon mesa]

it's the same thing as the original one

[broken folio]

probably just a bug fix version

[neon mesa]

xx60 brings in the most revenue but the high end cards definitely got the the profits

[night heron]

doesnt enterprise get the most profit

[neon mesa]

well in gaming

[broken folio]

some 4080s I think it was had a bug on the boards, so newer revisions don't have the workaround as the bug was fixed

[neon mesa]

nvidia also disallow enterprises from using geforce cards or they'll sue to oblivion

the reason they renamed titan to XX90

[crude jasper]

geforce cards are dumbed down enterprise cards

[fossil frost]

the more i think about it, the more i am amazed about how bright venus is in the sky. its still quite light outside, and i can clearly see venus in the sky...

[neon mesa]

enterprises was using titan cards as they're cheap and is technically not a geforce

[night heron]

can you see uranus

[fossil frost]

no, its blocked right now

[broken folio]

nVidia these days makes so much from the data centre they really don'#t seem to care about geforce much by comparison. Linus made the suggestion that GeForce should be spun-off as a seperate company and use chips from nVidia as the supplier.

[neon mesa]

yeah it's absolutely mind boggling

[night heron]

see a doctor

[crude jasper]

No and No

[vapid smelt]

then shave it

[broken folio]

Titan cards got professional certification, GeForce xx90 cards don't.

[neon mesa]

i have this star locator app on my phone (sadly removed from play store for some reason)

[fossil frost]

i know somebody who did that once, they did not recommend it

[neon mesa]

yep and nvidia hates them titans

[crude jasper]

the latter would increase production cost abysmally high, because nvidia hates having AIBs with good profit margins, and the first point is wrong because there are more geforce employees than there are for enterprise

[broken folio]

It wasn't gaming card sales that pushed them into the 1trn range recently.

[crude jasper]

does not matter

[fossil frost]

does anybody know what is the closest planet to earth?

[crude jasper]

saying geforce does not have a large focus on nvidias part is entirely wrong

[neon mesa]

depends on what time of year it is

[crude jasper]

pretty sure its venus

[fossil frost]

on average

[crude jasper]

Mercury

[neon mesa]

was about to say that

[night heron]

the results are nice but the effort it takes is obnoxious

[neon mesa]

the orbital speed of venus makes the venus stay far away longer

[broken folio]

Venus gets the closest, but on average Mercury is closer more of the time.

[fossil frost]

im on about somebody shaving the actual hole.. turns out you need those small hairs there, and if you dont, sweat pools there and turns your bum hole into a smelly brown toothpaste tube

[neon mesa]

at certain times mars can be the closest

[night heron]

i didnt have that experience

[slim barn]

Just when you think you've seen it all on LTT.

[neon mesa]

evolution is that one programmer that makes a program run just enough to qualify

and makes the absolute spaghetti of a code

[fossil frost]

i program small robots that are capable of making other small robots do things for me 😄 not only did i make a robot worker, i made robot managers 😄

any task that i find myself repeating, C# or powershell end up doing it for me instead

is steam down ?

i cant log into my acc on windows app, phone app or website

[ashen zodiac]

no?

[full fossil]

damn im covered in sweat rn

[indigo plume]

steam seems fine on my end

[full fossil]

for me it says there was a problem communicating with steam. please try again

[slender plover]

steam is looking refreshed

[slender plover]

internet?

[full fossil]

yeah

[slender plover]

wired?

[full fossil]

yeah, but same says on my phone

[ashen zodiac]

@full fossil what country are u in?

[full fossil]

on my phone rn i have question mark as my pfp and my name is just random numbers

[full fossil]

serbia

[slender plover]

then maybe your access isn't propor, is your ISP having issues?

[ashen zodiac]

that could matter. local server being down or smth

[full fossil]

ISP?

[ashen zodiac]

your network provider

[slender plover]

internet service provider

[full fossil]

i wouldnt know everything else works perfectly fine

[slender plover]

check on thier site if there are any outages

[full fossil]

i was in miles morales i quit the game and got notfication my cloud didnt save

[ashen zodiac]

could be a steam issue local to you that wouldn't affect any of us trying to help you, that's what makes it tricky

[full fossil]

i restarted steam and it just doesnt let me log in

[ashen zodiac]

@full fossil you can calm down

it's on steams end, just wait it out

[full fossil]

how do i know my account is not hacked or something?

everything was fine like an hour ago

[ashen zodiac]

cuz it would say your password is incorrect, not that there was an error

[slender plover]

it wouldn't be if you can't acces stean

[full fossil]

but on my phone

my pfp is gone and my name is just random numbers

[ashen zodiac]

that could be on steams end

check your email see if you got any sign in notifications

[wind pulsar]

Steam servers seem to face issues right now, hence your problems

[slender plover]

welll that be cause the server info isn't downloaded

[ashen zodiac]

if not you can pretty safely assume it's on steams end

[full fossil]

no i dont

[slender plover]

yeah I wouldn't worry

[full fossil]

im damn worried i spent shit ton of money on that acc

[slender plover]

steam is a pretty secure site so as long as you don't press any links you get from randos you should be fine

[slender plover]

youll be fine, steam guard is also pretty good IMO

[full fossil]

ive set like a backup account number everything

[slender plover]

you're fine then

trust that you are safe and you shall be safe

[full fossil]

honestly im not trusting shit rn

[round bridge]

Don’t buy Gigabyte unless you want a piece of shite - Gandhi probably

[slender plover]

well maybe you need to do yourself a cyber cecurity check up

[full fossil]

how do i do that

[vapid smelt]

dont buy Asus*

[tired glade]

Depends, because they make good with servers

[full fossil]

where can i find this

[round bridge]

Both preferably

[stray apex]

don't buy anything if you don't want to buy a piece of shit

[crude jasper]

gigashit motherboards are good but the bios is trash

[full fossil]

steam servers say they are up rn

[round bridge]

Gigashit 💀

[slim barn]

Do you mean you've bought a lot of games? Or you bought the Steam account? Because if it's the latter..... Good luck.

[wind pulsar]

[crude jasper]

gigashit GPUs are known to have sub-par cooling

[broken folio]

backdoor levels of shit

Wasn't there website that counts how many you spend on steam?

[broken folio]

at this point all the major brands have reasons for 'Don't buy'

got a email from honey saying one of my wishlist gpus went down 100 dollars

[tired glade]

Oh, PSU

[wind pulsar]

Oh, name me two models that exploded

[full fossil]

a lot of games and ingame purchases, i never bought any account from anyone

[stray apex]

all pc hardware manufactuers suck
therefore move to cabin in woods

[slender plover]

Seasonic all the way

[crude jasper]

on Ampere gigashit is horrendously bad

Gosh i love 110C mem on a 3080

[tired glade]

Kinda

[slim barn]

You'll be fine then. Steam server issue. Just wait.

whats worrying me is even if i type the wrong password the message is still the same

[crude jasper]

https://open.spotify.com/track/0w0LzMyUvgRYqYehX77UE7?si=69023351d37a4ea1

[slender plover]

yes, never had one of their psu die that wasn't caused by me indirectly

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, pretty sure that's not supposed to happen

[ashen zodiac]

https://downdetector.com/status/steam/

[crude jasper]

i buy Corsair only

[slim barn]

What's the message?

[slender plover]

and get this they replaced mines even though it wasnt thier issue

[round bridge]

Uhh the uhh all of them

[full fossil]

Connection problem There was a problem communicating with steam. Please try again later

[slender plover]

PSU are dicey tho

[tired glade]

Don't worry, I overtrip anything I got my hands on

[crude jasper]

not really

[slim barn]

There's your answer then.

[pliant karma]

lol had to take one of my friends gigabyte cards and put thermal pads between the pcb and backplate I did the same to my 3070 just because

[crude jasper]

most of corsairs PSUs are B tier or better

[slender plover]

Overtrip? what you running?

[wind pulsar]

Only one ever exploded and they took care of that
It wasn't even the entire line-up either, that was specifically the 850w unit

[full fossil]

but why it wouldnt say password is wrong?

[strong kettle]

my aero is fine

Ampere issues

[slender plover]

yes one of thiers broke and I had no warenty

[round bridge]

Technically 🤓 every PSU can explode

[slim barn]

Because it can't communicate with the Steam servers.

[full fossil]

oh lol makes sense

[wind pulsar]

Technically 🤓 I don't care

[tired glade]

Mainly I did it on 7980xe

[round bridge]

Whats 10 in Spanish

[vapid smelt]

$120 for a asetek 240m aio too

[slender plover]

that an AMD card or something?

[crude jasper]

that's a you issue

[wind pulsar]

Might as well buy an ID-Cooling unit at that point, will probably perform better

[tired glade]

No, just pushing to limits, GPU was 1030

[slender plover]

no cause with seasonic that never happenns and they replace it if it does

[crude jasper]

my RM1000x and AX1600i are top-tier

[tired glade]

I should do more stupid things with PSUs

[slim barn]

If it never happens why would they need to replace it?

[crude jasper]

yet some seasonic PSUs with a high enough wattage rating will shut off with 3090 transients

[slender plover]

fun times then, just saying seasonic is really solid

[full fossil]

do i know when will i be able to log in?

[tired glade]

Can you get 10980xe on open market?

[slender plover]

tried?

[vapid smelt]

but that cost $55 and clearly more money means more better

[tired glade]

It's fine

[slim barn]

Nope. Patience.

[slender plover]

its rare anything happenes but if it does they replace it

[broken folio]

Seasonic give 10 years warrantly on all their PSUs. If you're using it longer than the warranty you're probably due a PSU upgrade anyway.

[crude jasper]

Corsair gives 10 year warranty on all the good ones

[tired glade]

Oh, 10980xe is just 300-509$

[slim barn]

So it does happen then. 😄

[crude jasper]

5-7 year on the meh

[wind pulsar]

I mean I can imagine the Ryujin II being at the top of the charts considering the components it uses but.. if no one notable tests it, I can assume it's shit and ignorance is bliss

[slender plover]

man I aint that technical with PSU all I need is for it to run my pc

[full fossil]

also another question, the steam site works perfectly fine i can browse games etc even on the phone app but i cant log in

[stray apex]

imagine if ltt labs discovers that $400 aios are actually magical lmao

[crude jasper]

Basically 3090 will shut off the power supply if it is running something heavy

[slender plover]

its rare, mines blew cause my home power tripped it behond reset so.. again rare cause my house is rare

[slim barn]

Different servers. The members database/server/login will be having issues. The website server will work fine.

[vapid smelt]

its so nice that asetek website tells you what companies to ignore for aio coolers

[slender plover]

well who is running a 3090 oc at full load, general consumer wise

[wind pulsar]

Love that ID-COOLING isn't in that list

[slender plover]

well good thing corsair ain't up there lol

[crude jasper]

Nope during gaming

[vapid smelt]

msi asetek 360 cheaper then asus tuf 240

[wind pulsar]

Ah, it's back now

[slender plover]

I mean my game always runs 100% max and the same with the cpu. I got no 3090 but nothing wrong with my unit

[full fossil]

YO

[slender plover]

yes?

[full fossil]

IM IN BOYS SHIT IS THERE

[round bridge]

You’re in where?

[full fossil]

my steam bruh its not hacked

[slender plover]

again not a huge supprise as there was nothing to really worry about

[slender plover]

the sub that is at the sea floor

[full fossil]

another problem i have is that i deinstalled steam and i cant find my preinstalled games so how can i do that rn?

[slender plover]

no one thought that

[round bridge]

They found the logitech controller btw

[slender plover]

in the setting you can scan I think

[slender plover]

oh did you?

[ionic abyss]

ok how is a wireless charger faster than my older usb a type charger?

is samsung gimping the older chargers?

[full fossil]

EK ftw

[full fossil]

Been known

[ionic abyss]

hmmm wonder why a company doesnt go all out and make a top end controller using hall effect analog stick and buttons and triggers and then have a 3 postion trigger stop and paddles

hall effect buttons also exsist

as do hall effect triggers

[honest flax]

Crank up fusion 360 and get to drawing 🤣

[ionic abyss]

the old charger is a 3.2amp usb a charger

the wireless charger is a samsung fast wireless charger 15w i belive

the 3.2amp charger should push 18watts

[crude jasper]

EK pretty trash too lol

[ionic abyss]

how does the usb charger take 2 hours to charge but the wireless take 1hour 30

[graceful burrow]

The charger might not handshake correctly with the phone and cause it to only allow standard basic usb power delivery

[full fossil]

How

[ionic abyss]

i want a truely premium controller from some one not some elite controller that doesnt even offer hall effect joysticks

[graceful burrow]

King Kong pro 2 or whatever gulikit calls it

Or mod a controller to have halls

[ionic abyss]

sticks only

i want full hall effect sensors for all buttons

well they can skimp on start and select

[graceful burrow]

That sure doesn't exist kek

If you want it, make it :)

[ionic abyss]

the buttons and triggers do exsist

no controller currently has sticks buttons and triggers all in one package

[graceful burrow]

I'm not aware of any controller that uses hall buttons
The closest I know is the ps2 dualshock controllers used pressure sensitive buttons that sucked

[ionic abyss]

id have to google the controller im thinking of for the buttons

i know you can get a keyboard will hall effect ikeys

keys*

[graceful burrow]

Yeah I'm not sayin hall buttons don't exist I'm just not aware of any

That are used in controllers kek

[ionic abyss]

i suspect if my described controller got made it would be $200 or more

id go all out

if i made it full programablity and hall effect sticks/buttons/triggers and rear paddles and multipostion trigger stops

of course id also insure it had mode switch to be compatable with all current consoles and pc

[graceful burrow]

Do it

[ocean narwhal]

Typescript is fuckin awesome

JS can suck me

[ionic abyss]

and full linearfeed back motors for triggers and rumble

[graceful burrow]

I believe in you, do it

[ionic abyss]

id have to reseach the parts

and id say a 4000mah lithium battery if it didnt make it to heavy

[graceful burrow]

All the info is out there
I'd be following the project if you started it

[fierce moth]

I love diy projects

I'm currently researching one to do atm

[graceful burrow]

I have to redesign my macro-pad from the ground up
The pi pico boards I got are not suitable and I cannot for the life of me set up a working environment for coding with them

Arduino pro micro it is

[ocean narwhal]

Custom pcb and all?

[graceful burrow]

Ye

[ocean narwhal]

For a while i was working on making myself a macro pad but shelved it, coming back to it soon now that i have 3d printer for the chassis

Want to implement all the features that a future full sized board would have tho

[graceful burrow]

Failure of a project.

[fierce moth]

Personally I want to usb C everything™️

[ocean narwhal]

i made a first draft pcb but never got it made, its lacking a few features still like a shift register for row polling

Becuase eventually i want to do a 108 key and that IC seems to be the easiest way to implement it

[graceful burrow]

I just want six buttons and two encoders

[ocean narwhal]

Yeah so my list is like uhh

usb c, 2 port USB A hub, individually addressable north facing RGB, 107 key + 1 encoder. White construction with 'integrated' plate. probably some other things im ignoring off the top of my head

So for now I was going to do a numpad that has all of those features besides 107 key

[graceful burrow]

That's so far beyond my design lmao

[ocean narwhal]

I'm nowhere close to actually implementing my design

[graceful burrow]

One day

[ocean narwhal]

Now that I have my 3d printer, and zero progress has been made on the pcb. I'm gonna buy the components and do a hand wired edition i think

So I can know if I have the circuitry design down or not

[graceful burrow]

Speaking of 3d printers i need to tune mine

Badly
I think the lead screw is bent

[ocean narwhal]

I only got mine a few days ago, sv06

[graceful burrow]

I have a very cheap Chinese clone of an ender 3 v2

Honestly for 200 bucks it's decent

[ocean narwhal]

It prints as good as I was hoping right out of box. Supposedly there's some 'z-banding' or something giving it striations on walls, but they feel pretty smooth to me so I dont really complain

[graceful burrow]

I have leveling issues currently

I wanna 3d print a pinhole camera

[ocean narwhal]

That would b fun

For actual film or what?

[graceful burrow]

Yeah there are all sorts of designs that allow for like
120 film or 35mm film
Or sheets of photographic paper

I mean
You can make a pinhole camera out of anything so designing one in 3d would be piss easy to do too if you were just doing photographic paper

[ocean narwhal]

Thats cool

[vapid smelt]

[ocean narwhal]

tom peeper

[graceful burrow]

Camera obscura pinhole not Chinese spy cam aliexpress 144p pinhole

I've seen one of those irl they are not hidden worth a damn lmao

[vapid smelt]

aka you bought one?

[graceful burrow]

No I've got more important things to buy like

Hold on I'm pulling up my aliex history

Other bullshit

The usb voltage thing works actually decently

I haven't tried the capture card but I expect it to be bad

[vapid smelt]

how are the $3 bone headphones after my $30 vivdion pairs got lost i got the $80 shokz

[graceful burrow]

They literally had a speaker in them they were not bone conduction
And they also were made of hard plastic

[vapid smelt]

lol

[graceful burrow]

And the 5v soldering iron shorted the 5v you supply it with to a metal button on the body of it

So it just shocks you
Which is a funny gag

[gilded forge]

sucks when you underestimate a drive partition

[ocean narwhal]

why partition

[rough birch]

When you

[gilded forge]

because the only internal SSD on my laptop is 256 GB, and there's no way in hell I'm installing an OS onto an HDD in 2023

[ocean narwhal]

But why not just install OS onto the entire ssd and move files accordingly

[rough birch]

Wouldn't a disk need to be partitioned anyway if you're trying to install an OS or am I confused

[ashen zodiac]

typically like this. boot partition, OS partition and depending on OS a recovery partition

[rough birch]

Nonwait I must be thinking like something else

[ashen zodiac]

there's no reason to make additional partitions

[rough birch]

Yeah lol I was just thinking of something else entirely.

That being of trying to recover a few drives

[ashen zodiac]

i mean you are correct still. a drive needs to be partitioned for an OS to install. it's just that you would typically have less than a gigabyte partitioned for things like boot and recovery, and the rest be the OS

[quick basin]

hola amigos

[full fossil]

how do i fix steam adding only white shortcuts?

(i verified the game files)

[full fossil]

1. enter file explorer 2. open up the steam tab 3. go files/games/icons 4. i actually am just bullshitting rn

[sonic spruce]

How do you connect the rectangle looking usb thing?

It looks like 2 squares

[fierce moth]

This?

[broken folio]

USB B cable for USB3

most often seen on printers

though some external hard drives used them over the micro-b type usb3 connector

[rough birch]

I don't think I remember exactly, but I think I saw an old AF GPU or something. Kinda wanted it just to say I could.

Only reason I say GPU is cause I think it used a PCI pin

[manic torrent]

in the olden days, we just had "graphics cards". There was no 'Processing' 😉

[gilded forge]

bc the SSD is my C disk on Windows. it would need to be partitioned to install an OS anyway. my Windows uses NTFS...arch uses ext4

[full fossil]

thanks

it worked

[merry leaf]

I am trying to play my Steam games that are installed on a server on my local network from my main desktop. I am using Remote Play from the Steam client. When I try to connect to a game I get this. I'm guessing this is some sort of virtual terminal? When I try to click it the cursor just jumps all over. Has anyone else seen this?

[ashen zodiac]

first of all your server is on the lock screen. remote play is kind of like remote desktop, you need to be logged into the host to control it

basically log into it, relaunch

[full fossil]

yw

manifesting a 2021 camry nightshade fully blacked out

[merry leaf]

I am logged into it.

[ashen zodiac]

it's clearly on the lock screen in that screenshot

[full fossil]

Can i play steam games on my phone

yeah

Like remote thingy

[gilded forge]

steam link

[full fossil]

Is it free

[merry leaf]

That is NOT my lock screen for my server.

[gilded forge]

yes

but I use Moonlight. Steam Link is just easier to set up

[ashen zodiac]

what lock screen is that then? lmao

[full fossil]

What do i need exactly i imagine i cant play the game on phone by itself

I have an x one controller

[ashen zodiac]

https://www.androidpolice.com/how-to-play-steam-games-android/

same thing applies to iphone. same app, etc

[merry leaf]

I have no idea.

[full fossil]

So i can do it right on the phone no controller needed?

[ashen zodiac]

at least attempt to read stuff linked to you

[full fossil]

I did bruh

[ashen zodiac]

clearly not, since it answers that question directly in the article

[full fossil]

That sentence i didnt notice

[dull sapphire]

hi

[merry leaf]

This is my steam library on my server. Obviously it's not at screen lock.

Right now, I'm clicking on games through RDP. If there's a better way to play them without installing locally, please let me know. I'm on Windows 11.

[ashen zodiac]

stupid question but does that server have a keyboard and mouse plugged in?

Windows is very weird about remote inputs if the host doesn't have a keyboard and mouse plugged in

[merry leaf]

No it doesn't

[ashen zodiac]

plug some into it and test again

[quick basin]

btw, when did the steam layout change?

[ashen zodiac]

few weeks ago

[quick basin]

I just noticed 2 days ago

maybe I just didn’t update

or just blind af

[manic torrent]

yeah steam updated a while ago 🙂

[merry leaf]

I don't believe it. It worked.

[ashen zodiac]

yaaaay windows being weird

actually i doubt you need the keyboard plugged in but the mouse for sure

i've encountered this gaming through parsec

[merry leaf]

Thank you so much. now I wish I could get Unraid to work on the server.

[ashen zodiac]

it needed a mouse plugged in to have any hope of working properly

[ashen zodiac]

you'd have bigger problems if you did that, since you'd need a way of connecting a mouse to the gaming VM for Windows to work properly

lmfao tf

[quick basin]

lol

[ashen zodiac]

you've been spotted

there's 2

[manic torrent]

uhhh USB passthrough has been a thing since forever basically

[ashen zodiac]

it has but it's finnicky, Windows truly is weird about remote input if the host has no mouse plugged in

at least consumer versions are

[manic torrent]

yeah but it would have a virtual mouse - it's the default on ... everything. You'd have to actively go in and disable it

[ashen zodiac]

craig lmfao

my favourite person at apple, even though that guitar is fake as balls

[quick basin]

what does he even do at apple?

[ashen zodiac]

yes friends, that is a 7-string neck, with 6 pickups

[pliant karma]

lol

[broken folio]

There are bands that use dual-neck guitars, but I've never seen a triple-neck one used.

[ashen zodiac]

the guitar also lacks pickup selector switches of any kind, the whammy bar gets in the way of the bottom guitar, the bridges are completely wack

[ashen zodiac]

it's a prop, there's no way it's real. 7-string with 6 pickups beneath them is a dead givaway that it's fake

[broken folio]

Yes, I'd figured that part out.

[ashen zodiac]

i do think he plays as his finger positioning is correct, as well as technique, but there's no way that it was live

[broken folio]

It was more a question of whether anyone has seen a band actually using a triple-neck guitar if they even actually exist.

[ashen zodiac]

steve vai uses them

although you can immediately see the difference. his real one has a lot more switches and selectors to control the 3 necks

[manic torrent]

You can make them, they are just ridiculous

It's not for any actual reason other than excess

[broken folio]

It would be Steve Vai!

[ashen zodiac]

steve vai is actually insane, this is real

[ionic abyss]

that looks impossable to play

[broken folio]

The other who I'd expect to see play such a guitar would be Yngwie Malmsteen

[ashen zodiac]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3aezP5hGwY

this is how you play one of those. extremely difficult, but if you're extremely good it's possible

[broken folio]

Not many people have the same ability and dexterity with both hands, especially at the same time.

[ashen zodiac]

yea he's mental

@broken folio i've also just remembered these guitars

these actually have a purpose. top neck is a bass, bottom neck is a guitar

[broken folio]

yes, they're fairly common on live shows where the same person does both on different songs

[ashen zodiac]

yup. on the subject of bass btw these exist

that's a 6 string bass

[broken folio]

There exist 12 string guitars and 7 string basses.

some of the more progressive metal bands love them

[ashen zodiac]

i've never seen a 7 string bass actually played

the bassist pictured above is BOH, part of Babymetal's Kami Band. he actually does play 6 string bass live

@broken folio https://youtu.be/tmMocP99QkQ?t=125

[manic torrent]

that's amazing

[ashen zodiac]

sure is

[broken folio]

Not really my sort of thing, I'm too bedded in more traditional metal. Not that I am knocking it really.

i'm somewhat of a babymetal fan. i have one more cd and a blu-ray of a concert on order too

getting those tomorrow

[gilded quest]

I've made a grave mistake

[ashen zodiac]

you opened discord?

[gilded quest]

I'm at a wedding and I have eaten way too much

No more room and they just brought out dessert 😭

[ashen zodiac]

F

[exotic jetty]

I got a new phone

[broken folio]

Sweet :) like I say, if you love it, then thats great :)

[ashen zodiac]

i like traditional metal too but i got bored of it tbh. babymetal and other japanese groups sound completely different to western metal, that's why i love it so much

it's so different that it's almost like discovering a completely new genre

@broken folio they also aren't afraid of mixing genre's completely. have you ever heard a metal dance song? lmao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMKlj_1zbYc

[broken folio]

I've been listening to a lot of Sabaton and Alestorm of late.

[ashen zodiac]

alestorm is different too yea

[broken folio]

That sounds like something I'd have probably heard in a goth club that did a lot of EDM...

[ashen zodiac]

and this is the same group that does this: https://youtu.be/g2372C5PJLM?t=26

[broken folio]

Certainly talented

[ashen zodiac]

DISCORD I HATE YOU!!! aaaaaaaaaaaa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTEYUFgLveY?t=86

@broken folio ^^^^^^

notice how all the songs are completely different?

[dreamy rose]

you know whats sad? when your parents have to take the internet down so they can pay rent and you're stuck bored as shit with nothing to do. still not up i have to sit in McDonalds.

[quick basin]

what the fuck

I never heard Japanese rock/metal before

[ashen zodiac]

prepare to have ur mind blown

[quick basin]

that’s so unusual

[ashen zodiac]

it's by far my favourite genre of music

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8-vje-bq9c

[wispy marsh]

That was two weeks ago

[ashen zodiac]

WTF is my discord

@quick basin look at this https://youtu.be/bgAxpEpEcno?t=211

[dreamy rose]

exactly, i've been offline two weeks, pissed i cant do anything.

[vapid smelt]

get a job and buy some internet

[wispy marsh]

He would've paid off the internet bills with two days of work and tips

[quick basin]

That is really unusual

not used to this at all

[ashen zodiac]

my link? lovebites are awesome

[quick basin]

I need to hear chinese and russian metal now

[quick basin]

yeah, mot in a bad way

[ashen zodiac]

EXACTLY, that's why i love it. western metal got boring

[quick basin]

it’s just… i never heard anything like that

like all metal/rock is english

the mainstream one i mean

[dreamy rose]

msybe

[vapid smelt]

get some free AOL disk

[quick basin]

yooooo

[dreamy rose]

but i'm not here to discuss whats possible i'm here to check my shit

[ashen zodiac]

yea. western metal is dudes farting into mics with the gain turned to 1000, japan has female singers, blending of genres, insane shows, sometimes all 3 packed into one band

[quick basin]

Well, older rock is good

it was ok before they discovered crack/heroin

[wispy marsh]

Nothing changed

[quick basin]

and yeah, I noticed, all those bands are female. pretty cool

[dreamy rose]

not here no but a few ppl swapped their names around. nothing big.

[ashen zodiac]

there's another really good one should check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHpuEqMAcDg

[dreamy rose]

just need to make sure ppl know whats going on

[wispy marsh]

Huh?

[quick basin]

video unavailable

[wispy marsh]

No, no one swapped their names...

[quick basin]

the second one you sent before had the same issue (the one you sent to the other guy)

[ashen zodiac]

click the link itself, that'll take ya directly to youtube

[quick basin]

ok

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3q8Od5qJio you listen to rammstien right?

[quick basin]

yeah, discords issue

[wispy marsh]

You like Japanese? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC-wDpwzEt4

[quick basin]

nah, I was talking 60-90s

aaall sorts, you can’t imagine

[ashen zodiac]

i've heard of this group, not really my thing tbh

[dreamy rose]

not here silly other people on discord. i have other people to talk to

[quick basin]

but my tatse is all over, i like a lot of minimal

[ashen zodiac]

@wispy marsh i much prefer stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LxX_t4vg7U

[quick basin]

the first second reminded me of "killing in the name of"

[vapid smelt]

ofc they have attractive women and make high quality goods

[quick basin]

idc about looks when it comes to music lmao

it can be a man run over by a train, if he’s good i’ll listen

[wispy marsh]

I still listen to good metal like Metallica, Baek Yerin, Fall Out Boy, Hollywood Undead

[gilded forge]

I'm more of a metalcore fan myself (and I love power metal)

[broken folio]

It tends to be Sabbath, Maiden, Motorhead most of the time

[gilded forge]

I hope you don't mean modern fall out boy

[broken folio]

but it gets mixed up dependant upon mood by other genres with AC/DC and other rock thrown in

[wispy marsh]

Both

[quick basin]

ooo yeah, proper music

[wispy marsh]

You don't get to judge me like that

[gilded forge]

can modern fall out boy even be considered rock..? it's as much rock as imagine dragons is

[quick basin]

imagine dragons is poprock

or someshit like that

[broken folio]

akin to nickleback

[quick basin]

queerock

[broken folio]

lifes too short to care what other people do and don't like music* wise (* that can be extended to include moves, tv and other things of course)

[gilded forge]

imagine dragons, one republic, and 21 pilots is like..labeled as rock..but is never one a single rock radio, always in the shitty pop stations and top 40

[gilded forge]

I think you've said this here before

[broken folio]

I might have. But my memory is too crap to remember!

[wispy marsh]

Keyboards

[broken folio]

probably...

I have rather poor short term memory typically.

[wispy marsh]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/931960199911206945/1050304188854325378/6B4675B2-D319-465B-B3E1-9911ECFE06C6.jpg?width=1145&height=859

[vapid smelt]

too small

[gilded forge]

okay but we can all agree that edm stuff that corporations use on traker and keynotes is shit

[wispy marsh]

That's what she said

[gilded forge]

too square

[broken folio]

yep. Though when I refer to EDM, I mean the stuff you'd heard cyber goths dancing to for hours, totally different things really.

I much prefer a fullsize keyboard as my finger memory is too used to it I think now.

[gilded forge]

yeah. only "edm" I like is daft punk. anything like deadmau5 or Skrillex is too... "rave-like" and too loud and heavy for me. it's a hard feeling to describe

[vapid smelt]

why did you put a side ways L in it?

[gilded forge]

how else would you get an L

[broken folio]

EDM is a bit like the Industrial label, it is so wide to be almost meaningless. A lot of stuff that was termed EDM back in the clubbing days at goth clubs would probably be called Industrial now instead and what was called Industrial then probably Industrial Metal instead (if its not called Goth Industrial or some such nonscence)

[graceful burrow]

It's flipped and rotated not sideways

[gilded forge]

wait there's 5 keys to the left of space and one to the right. does that mean you either have two ctrls or two alts on the left side

[wispy marsh]

Two left shifts

[gilded forge]

but why

[wispy marsh]

One for typing and gaming, and one for gaming

[gilded forge]

wheres Ctrl and alt

[wispy marsh]

Ah, that's where I put my function keys

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-emoji-um-actually-nerd-actually-um-gif-26028792

[gilded forge]

left os is super right

[wispy marsh]

Yeah

[north wraith]

hey, anyone on here use one of those monitor light bars?

[green snow]

Anyone here played older 5 hitman games ?
I want to know if buying them in steam summer sale is worth it. I never played any hitman game ever

[north wraith]

I was trying to find one that would go under the monitor like a sound bar would but I can only find one that would sit on top like a web cam and I feel like unless they are really clever with how the angle the light it would just wash out the picture

[dreamy rose]

i've heard hitman is pretty good if thats true than i think you should go for it

[green snow]

What's your most favourite game ?

[vapid smelt]

way better

[dreamy rose]

i hate these kinds of questions because i know so many good ones that i cant even pick a single game. though if you are curious about the last game i finished then look no further than https://store.steampowered.com/app/477740/Zero_Escape_The_Nonary_Games/

its a damn good one i recommend picking it up

[green snow]

Yup, I wishlisted it

[green snow]

I'm thinking to buy gta trilogy definitive edition

Along with witcher trilogy and hitman bundles

[dreamy rose]

oh god no dont buy that shit, they havent touched it ion ages and it was real shit.

[green snow]

There's no way to buy original ones

[north wraith]

not true

[dreamy rose]

thats what happens when you let War Drum Studios do anything.

[dreamy rose]

digitally yeah. but theres still physical copies

[north wraith]

you can buy the og GTA still I think

let me find the link

[green snow]

I heard they fixed many major bugs in the games, let's call them snakes, they weren't in category of bugs

[dreamy rose]

i dont think you can buy 1-SA

[dreamy rose]

well thats new. but no they literally just gave up after a year.

[green snow]

Can't buy CDs too in my country. All are pirated ones

And probably filled with malwares

[green snow]

What ? 💀

It's so cheap of rockstar games to remove classic edition from steam

[dreamy rose]

ah yeah you could have just purchased a CD copy and then pirated somwhere, perfectly fine as i see it but that kinda discussion is really not allowed in this sever

[green snow]

We should have a choice which version we want to buy, then they come complaining on piracy

[dreamy rose]

calling then snakes. but yeah as far as i know they made updates for a year and gave up completely

[gilded quest]

They keep bringing out more food 😳

[green snow]

Gamers will never forgive Rockstar games for destroying their childhood fun

[north wraith]

https://store.rockstargames.com/game/buy-grand-theft-auto-the-trilogy?drm=Rockstar+Games+Launcher

I think thats the og non remastered version

its cheeper at any rate and only for PC

[vapid smelt]

games should be free after 15 years

[north wraith]

nah I am going to have to disagree with you there respectfully

I see what you are getting at and I do think that some game are over priced for what they are....

[manic torrent]

The problem is that the IP and the game itself are different

[north wraith]

I also are we talking like 15 years after the last update or release?

[vapid smelt]

update

[north wraith]

so like abandonware games should be free?

I could get behind that I guess

or like have it be like how movies enter public domain after a certain amout of time

[manic torrent]

the problem is by the time they are abandonware there's often no clear owner.

[north wraith]

One cool thing about that is it might force corps to actual try for remasted/DE/ports to new hardware

[graceful burrow]

That's why I don't care about yar har-ing them

If they don't care enough to keep up on it and settle stuff and sell it I don't care about "pirating" it

[north wraith]

would be intresting if some publish just went around getting the rights to old stuff put in the mininum effort for compatablity checks and put them on GoG/steam and such
