[sharp cradle]

but a specific battery would be nice

[tired glade]

Most likely

[mortal raptor]

dope , i used to use Nusantara , but it stopped getting updates . now i use pixilr

[gilded forge]

that's not exactly what that means. the term is "easily replaceable," not removable. meaning it can be easily replaced, not easily removed on the go.

[mortal raptor]

i've a dead tablet in my drawer because there is no batteries availabe for it

it sucks

[sharp cradle]

anyone here getting any of the new screwdrivers

[gilded forge]

I'm a student 😃 so fuck finances

[full fossil]

i bought an iphone for the first time and i hate it lol

i love face id tho

[gilded forge]

did you see the drama surrounding Graphene??

[mortal raptor]

i like how your name is a loophole for the word ban in the server

[gilded forge]

ewww

[sharp cradle]

lol im in my econ 198 class right now. i love spending money

[full fossil]

love it so much tbh

[tired glade]

User must have direct access to battery - that how it worded

[mortal raptor]

duuude

[full fossil]

the screwdriver is really nice

[tired glade]

Yes

[gilded forge]

yes

[sharp cradle]

face id is actually so good

[full fossil]

also getting around the chat filter is normally punishable

[gilded forge]

I live spending money, but I can't afford to spend money.

[full fossil]

idc just warning

[sharp cradle]

my b, dont ban pls

[mortal raptor]

i use knifes tips to unscrew everything, I think if linus knew that, he would ban me

[gilded forge]

am I the only person who still prefers fingerprint in the power button over facial recognition?

[full fossil]

chad

[gilded forge]

security torx tho

SE3

[mortal raptor]

less gooo

[mortal raptor]

break them

[full fossil]

I want the asus rog 7 but i dont feel like wasting money on a phone i would have to use with no case to enjoy just to break it lol

[keen cedar]

Face ID is epic

[gilded forge]

I had ohones with fingerprint readers on the back of the phone for a while, when I switched to power button fingerprint it changed my life. I saw god.

[full fossil]

it really is op

[sharp cradle]

i did that with a cheap knife and it was damaged

[keen cedar]

Passkeys are coming soon and that will be even better

With Face ID

[sharp cradle]

not i have nice knifes and will not risk hurting them

[mortal raptor]

i have both face id and fingerprint on my pocophone f1 . and i can tell you that sometimes i even forget that face id exist

[gilded forge]

not a lot tho 💀 iva ehad this piece of shit for a year and it's degraded to 65 wtf

[harsh quartz]

i miss the old physical home button that had a fingerprint scanner in it, but face id is also very nice

[sharp cradle]

whats wrong with face id?

[tired glade]

Most convinent place for fingers print is on power button of phone,face recognition will always lose to that

[sharp cradle]

i do like a fingerprint reader, but faceid is also really good

[harsh quartz]

face id rocks, as opposed to behind screen fingerprint scanners, those are fuckin abysmal

[sharp cradle]

i honestly rarely use my power button

i do love it built into my laptop power button tho

[gilded forge]

apple is starting to lose the battery race. replacing it wothra faster port won't help if you charge every few hours. this phone lasts less than my laptop so 😔

[gilded forge]

what

[tired glade]

How you take your phone from pocket?

[sharp cradle]

raise to wake works very well 🤷‍♂️

[harsh quartz]

its called raise to wake

[carmine light]

Starfield is pretty cool so far. Kinda janky, but pretty cool

[sharp cradle]

also tapping the screen

[gilded forge]

oh right I forgot iphones don't have aod 💀

[harsh quartz]

aod?

[sharp cradle]

they do

[tired glade]

Yea,new No man sky update looks good

[gilded forge]

iPhone 14 pro

[harsh quartz]

the fuck is aod

[gilded forge]

always on dispkay

[harsh quartz]

oh, ngl i see that as a useless feature

[carmine light]

Doesn't remind me anything of NMS

More like Fallout in space

[gilded forge]

you're useless (/j don't ban me)

[harsh quartz]

outer worlds

[sharp cradle]

it doesn't

i liked outer worlds

[full fossil]

no i dont play phone games lol

[tired glade]

So, no Star citizens joke?

[carmine light]

I couldn't get into Outer Worlds at all

[harsh quartz]

i am, but i used it on my watch for a while and didnt like it, i just prefer using raise to wake

[harsh quartz]

it had bland characters but the gameplay was fun

[full fossil]

I just love the way it looks same reason im building an outdated pc for more money lol

[carmine light]

Well we're talking about finished games lol

[gilded forge]

star citizen IS a joke

[full fossil]

I havent found any i really like but i love the rog style with the rgb and the back screen

[harsh quartz]

ngl for the longest tiem i got star citizen and starfield mixxed up cause they were both for the longest time "games that will be releasing.... eventually"

[gilded forge]

that's the strangest fucking thing I've ever read. it's a PHONE. why do you need rgb

[tired glade]

Funny thing, looks like Starfield is debate for oppose side

[harsh quartz]

to call faster

[carmine light]

Star Citizen actually has a free fly going on right now if you wanna try it for free. I've been playing it on and off since I backed in 2016 and it's pretty enjoyable now, but still lacks things to do

still pretty cool to take off from a whole ass planet and fly to another one. The environments are incredible

[full fossil]

youve never heard of people buying things they like the look of? Let me introduce you to 90% of consumer products

[harsh quartz]

yeah but its an EXPENSIVE phone to buy when you could just put rbg strips on the back of a phone case

[gilded forge]

in tbat case, why do I need rgb and a small LCD screen when it just uses power

[sharp cradle]

basides my pc running starfield at 30fps, i like it

[full fossil]

Why not just buy a $20 bag and put a gucci sticker on it. Why not just print your own DaVinci painting

people can buy stuff they like

[harsh quartz]

what you dont have a 13900k overlocked to 7 million gigafarts and 2 4090TIs SLI-ed together?

[full fossil]

and noone can claim they never have done that in some area of their life

just because yours isnt phones or pcs doesnt mean its any different

[tired glade]

It's AMD game

[sharp cradle]

im actually probably gonna build a 7800x3d and 7900xtx system in the next year, but idk

[harsh quartz]

yeah but that doesnt work as well for the meme

[full fossil]

im bulding a lga1200 build i bought everything brand new for lol

[harsh quartz]

also you say this as if a 4090 wont run it?

[full fossil]

because im doing an all white gundam build

gfx card comes today

[harsh quartz]

ahh, your someone that likes to burn money for asthetic, got it

[tired glade]

It still will be biggest charter, but still it's AMD game

[full fossil]

such a dumb take no offense lol

[gilded forge]

to be fair if you bring out that phone of your pocket especially if you attack the cooler to it you'll get tons of attention

[full fossil]

youve never bought anything expensive because you liked the way it looked?

[harsh quartz]

you want an RGB phone cause it looks nice even through its way more expensive and you want to do a gundam bui.d which is also a lot more expensive than a non-gundam counterpart, just cause it looks cool

[full fossil]

i mean even if you havent 90% of people do

[full fossil]

its not about attention lmao

[harsh quartz]

never said it was, its about asthetic

[full fossil]

i like the screen on the back and the animations it shows for different things

[neon mesa]

Might as well get a fold

[gilded forge]

but you never...see it

[full fossil]

i just like the phone and how it looks, yall are weird af lol

[full fossil]

i would see it

[neon mesa]

Flip is just a regular phone with extra step when you wanna use it

Fold gives big screen

[full fossil]

"if you like that phone u shuld just buy something different" lol

[gilded forge]

it's on the BACK. youre gaming on the screen

[harsh quartz]

im weird for not spending double the price on something cause it looks a little bit nicer but does the same role? not all of us have extremely fluid disposable income like that my guy

[full fossil]

i dont play phone games and i lay my phone flat when im at a desk which is most of mlife

[neon mesa]

Might as well get nothing phone 2

[vapid cypress]

I managed to get lost in the city and stubbed my toe while driving on an rented e bike 👍awesome second day

[full fossil]

Its no different then buying a t shirt or sweatshirt wth a screenprint on it you like, or a peice of art, or a hangbag, or a better looking car or anything, literally all humans do this including you

[harsh quartz]

if you have the disposable income then by all means dont let us stop you, but no, were not the ones in the minorty here

[full fossil]

yes you are

[neon mesa]

No

[full fossil]

i dont know how else to explain it to you

[neon mesa]

We all care about aesthetics to some degree.
But performance and budget comes first

[harsh quartz]

i have no wallart, my car was used and was all i could get, i have 6 sets of the same black/grey clothing i wear every day 😛

[gilded forge]

right well the Razer Kishi or OnePlayer turns it into a pretty competent emulation/remote gaming machine

[neon mesa]

Unless we're made of money like you

[full fossil]

doesnt work on verizon, otherwise yes a notihng phone 2 would be awesome

[full fossil]

im far from made from money lol

i have disposable income yes, but i work very hard for that

and i grew up poorer than most

[neon mesa]

I spent extra to make my pc look better too.
But of course without it being so extravagant that I'm actually sacrificing performance.
Like buying an outdated LGA 1200 platform

[harsh quartz]

i went for an iphone 13 this last time cause its a decent phone and AT&T had a special deal on it, and thats literally all of my reasoning, no asthetic here

[gilded forge]

pixel 3 even. still a pretty great phone

[full fossil]

if i want something that works for me and will make me happy and have the cash, im getting it, i dont think thats unique

[harsh quartz]

its not unique, like i said, dont let us stop you, but it is strange to spend double on something just cause it looks kinda neat

[full fossil]

thats more than half of consumer goods

[neon mesa]

Spending 10-20% extra for looks is normal

[full fossil]

what do you think a graphic tee is?

[neon mesa]

But 2x is nah

[harsh quartz]

the same price as a normal tee

[full fossil]

no you can buy an anime hanes t shirt for 25$ or a hanes 3 pack for $5

[harsh quartz]

where the fuck you buying shirts for 5$ a pack?

[neon mesa]

Or you can order a custom print for cheaper

[full fossil]

idk my wife shops for me tbh lol

how much are they

[neon mesa]

they're like 4 bucks on the low quality side and 10 on the higher end

Much cheaper than $25 and gives freedom of design

[vapid cypress]

I need a new phone my current one almost died so had to keep everything at the minimum while nice phones last into the second day. Yet again im waiting for innovation in the phone market. Something like new batteries from honnor or completely interchangable phone parts phone like fairphone 5 or that apple will allow sideloading next year. So im kinda split

[full fossil]

the nothing phone 2 is the prettiest phone out right now imo but it doesnt work on cdma

my white gfx card comes out today

[neon mesa]

Nothing like a custom design of your own

[full fossil]

Yes but its GSM so pretty much everyone but veriszon

[harsh quartz]

ive heard a lot of people recently switching to google [pixels, the 7 series specifically, and they ve all been happy with them. Personally i dont know enough about their phones to like it, and i had a bad experience on android so i went back to IOS

[full fossil]

its not about locking

all phones have bands in them

and not all have all

cdma is very unpopular because its pretty much verizon only

[harsh quartz]

which phone has the black eyed peas?

[full fossil]

heyyy yaa?

[spice pine]

That would be the Galaxy Note 7, also known as the "Boom Boom Pow"

[harsh quartz]

na, ive had a flip phone life before, i aint going back to that. I was using a samsung and they kept breaking their OS with every update and my apps kept crashing, so i went back to IOS cause even though its not perfect, its stable

[prime solstice]

I kinda want the Motorola razr

[spice pine]

Coworker has the Razr+, seems like a good phone tbh

[full fossil]

nop they dont

[neon mesa]

My parents flip 4 broke twice.

[vapid cypress]

Its not very power efficient but its really good in every ball park except in like gaming which i guess most people are not looking for a pixel for gaming

[neon mesa]

I would avoid samsung flips

[prime solstice]

I’ve seen Jerry rig everything do a durability test and the front screen broke

[full fossil]

my wife has the samsung flip 4 or whatever and i dont like it at all

i will never use a folding phone

[spice pine]

🤷‍♀️ i think it all comes down to how much you use your phone, your wants and needs, etc.

[harsh quartz]

yall we werent talking about a samsung fold, we were talking about a literal flip phone

[spice pine]

but. they flip

[vapid cypress]

Also pixel pixel phones are more about software over hardware

[harsh quartz]

not the same

[spice pine]

so they are literal flip phones

[neon mesa]

First is, one very soft drop, hinge stuck.
Second, normal use, phone suddenly shuts down when it's closed :/

[harsh quartz]

aight imma fight

[full fossil]

i like a smaller phone so i can reach the buttons and and all parts of the screen without adjusting my hand and i like a good screen and refresh rate thats about it

[dense sand]

can someone help me with a $1500 white pc build

[spice pine]

do you mean. folding feature phone?

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/toadkingstudios-angry-toaster-noises-dj-twisted-toaster-toast-hopping-mad-gif-19484461

[vapid cypress]

You can get the zenphone 10 its super good tho they wont be making an 11 tho

[full fossil]

i got giant hands

[gilded forge]

the pixel fold is MUCH easier and comfortable to hold

[prime solstice]

I kinda like the older flip phones

[neon mesa]

Flip series is just a shitter version of regular S-series.
I'd just use the fold series if you want folding phone. You get bigger screen too.

[spice pine]

real talk i want one of those cool styled anime-themed phones they have in Japan, feature phone or not, most of them look awesome

[vapid cypress]

What are we talking about again...?

[harsh quartz]

my samsung had a 6.5" screen and that shit was awful, way too large for a normal pocket

[vapid cypress]

They said the canceling it

[spice pine]

you're telling me this thing doesn't look cool?

[sharp cradle]

what is that lol

[full fossil]

idk what boggers means

[prime solstice]

That I would buy

[misty ridge]

i think all phones are overpriced in general at this point

[harsh quartz]

i dont want a transformer in my pocket

[full fossil]

Im in love

[neon mesa]

Cool, but no way using it for daily driver lol

[harsh quartz]

oh i just fucking saw the nerv badge you weeb

[vapid cypress]

🫡

[spice pine]

I would go back to a feature phone in a heartbeat if the ones here had some of the flagship features they've got in Japan. Tap to pay, full android, and a T9 keypad? sold.

[full fossil]

I love these:

[prime solstice]

https://www.giztop.com/red-magic-7-pro-transformers-edition.html

[harsh quartz]

yeah no

[vapid cypress]

I think the closest perfect phone for me would be nothing phone 2 but it kinda sucks that you have to buy a phone and it goes obsolete 4 years later because batteries arent replacable

[harsh quartz]

thats not even good transformers, its modern transformers

[vapid cypress]

Fairphone 5 is cool, but too weak

[gilded forge]

same

[harsh quartz]

yeah lemme pay 1200 for a phone real quick

[spice pine]

i'd love to be able to rock one of these as a daily driver

[vapid cypress]

8*

[lethal jay]

This has got to be one of the worst phone designs I've seen in years, what is that camera?

[harsh quartz]

oh shit oppenheimer phone

[spice pine]

I think it was a concept design for Eva fans 🤷‍♀️ I haven't seen Evangelion so i wouldn't know

[vapid cypress]

Says 8 on their website

[harsh quartz]

it is, and its nasty

[vapid cypress]

Too bad the camera is bad and the chip isnt that good. Unless it gets improvements over the months. Also the battery life

[gilded forge]

I want a Nokia 7280 as a daily driver

[harsh quartz]

does anyone else just not care aboutt teh cameras on their phone? i dont understand what the generational improvements are over cause im ngl, the pictures im taking now look the same as 5 years ago

[full fossil]

AI is a bigger deal than hardware in phone cameras for most people now days

unless youre a photo pro, then just get a high end sony

[vapid cypress]

I specifically want good cameras for low light and just overall clear pictures

[prime solstice]

Idc as long as I can trick my friends into thinking I found some sort for mythical being then I’m happy

[harsh quartz]

i dont even get the reference on this one

[full fossil]

The pixel and iphone both have worse cameras than samsung but better pics imo

[misty ridge]

the only thing i care about in a phone anymore is battery life and longevity. motorola is killing it

[harsh quartz]

not like a good screen or anything?

[vapid cypress]

Its all about da software trickerooos

[harsh quartz]

yeah, ya know, like replacing the moon

[misty ridge]

tbh im happy with a 1080 screen that doesn't ghost on a display that small for my use case im not going to be consuming 4k content or anything

[full fossil]

The Motorola power series is such a crazy good value for a phone

[misty ridge]

especially on google fi, i havent paid over 500 for a phone in years thanks to them

[harsh quartz]

yeah im definitely picky about a OLED screen but aside from that im pretty open, i do watch 1440p fairly often but i dont go up to 4k

[indigo trellis]

Can you connect a USB c to a monitor

[misty ridge]

my eyesight isn't good enough to notice on a small screen lmao

[indigo trellis]

Headphones

[gilded forge]

Samsung's ppost processing is way too much for my liking

[vapid cypress]

I mean you are paying 700 but again you are buying a phone that could last you potentially for 10 years. But for the sake of comfort id want a decent battery life which isnt the case on this phone

[misty ridge]

one of my main workstations has a 720p monitor so im used to it

[full fossil]

right which is my point, the hardware is worth but the result is better because of the software

[full fossil]

smart

[vapid cypress]

True true, looking at you samsung

[harsh quartz]

i like the iphone 13s display, a retina OLED, i wish it could run at 120hz but it doesnt have that, so im stuck at 60, but its good enough

[indigo trellis]

Can you connect a USB c headphone to a monitor

[pliant leaf]

https://www.pcgamer.com/theres-already-a-starfield-mod-that-swaps-fsr-for-dlss/

Modders come in clutch as usual

[full fossil]

ah okay, i didnt know that

[misty ridge]

depends on the monitor and the type of usb hub it has

[indigo trellis]

Odyessy g9

[full fossil]

120 hz on a phone is really noticeable and feels so good

[indigo trellis]

Yes it is

It feels tooooo good

[full fossil]

it does because everything is scrolling

and it actually scrolls instead of chops

[misty ridge]

i dont think that one has usb c

[harsh quartz]

i dont do too much scrolling tbh, i mostly just watch content on my phone

[vapid cypress]

Tho is it noticible between 90 and 120

[misty ridge]

i could be wrong tho

[gilded forge]

most of Samsung's phones, even the ad-infested budget ones have 120Hz

[harsh quartz]

yeah but it chews through their battery on the lower end ones

[full fossil]

i dont care about preloads but ya, samsung runs the display game, last i knew apple was still buying all their screens from samsung

[vapid cypress]

Thats why lpto displays are cool they can lower their refresh rate to 1hz

[harsh quartz]

oh a phone i think that a 60hz OLED panel is responsive enough for just about anything, if it wasnt oled then sure

[full fossil]

5000 mah battery

[misty ridge]

i remember when it was a simple process to remove all the factory ads and bloatware smh

[harsh quartz]

i had an A52 5G and if i set it to 120hz it CONSUMED my battery so fuckin quick

[neon mesa]

mAh doesn't mean much

[spice pine]

moto g series 🤢

[full fossil]

it means a lot

[neon mesa]

With optimization even a "bad battery" phone can last

[misty ridge]

moto g series is amazing at the price point.

[harsh quartz]

idk, all i know is it was a nice display but i couldnt run it long

[full fossil]

right ... but if two phones have the same optimization what happens? lol

[neon mesa]

My S20FE with the hand warmer called exynos still gets 6 hours SoT with 120Hz no power saving

[harsh quartz]

yeah but that doesnt work on a phone when im watching a movie

[neon mesa]

I can probably get 7-8 hours screen on time if i use 60hz mode

[full fossil]

I am aware of the factors lmao

[neon mesa]

But 60hz looks like 💩

[harsh quartz]

while gaming, yes, on a phone, eh

[neon mesa]

I can feel the fluency difference

It's just... Not good anymore after using 120hz

[full fossil]

phone games suck, outside of The Quest

[vapid cypress]

I havent owned a ltpo phone or a over 90hz phone but there might be a feature to do it on an app by app cassis if not then thats a dope idea (like setting it to 60hz)

[neon mesa]

Especially that my desktop monitor while not 120, is still 75Hz

[harsh quartz]

vamprie survivors

[full fossil]

true

eww, eww

[indigo trellis]

It does but i can't hear sounds

[harsh quartz]

is your audio set to output to the monitor

[vapid cypress]

I dont play games on my phone anymore

[full fossil]

sane people dont

[neon mesa]

Everything just feels smooth on 120Hz.
Can't go back.
Though wish they have a 90Hz mode also, compromise between battery and fluency.

But eh 6H SoT is good enough for me

Gets me through the day

[harsh quartz]

i play vampire survivors and TFT when im on the shitter

[full fossil]

what i want is a gaming handheld like the asus rog one, with 5g, that can double as a phone lol

[full fossil]

thats fair and based

[harsh quartz]

this is asking a lot, what you want is gaming handheld with sim support

[misty ridge]

when vainglory kinda died out i stopped playing mobile games alltogether

[full fossil]

are you on the subway all the time or something? I mean its just the most painful way to play a game, touch screen controls and tiny screen

[harsh quartz]

was vainglory the LoL ripoff?

[vapid cypress]

All my gaming is done on the steam deck,a very cool device

[full fossil]

chad

[gilded forge]

vampire survivors, dead cells, dandara, Gris, oceanhorn, scourgebringer, sparklite, there's more but I'll stop

[full fossil]

eww

[misty ridge]

wasn't really a ripoff. just a similar "capture the objectives" style game

[full fossil]

i cant IMAGINE playing dead cells on a phone

[harsh quartz]

i appreciate that but i just use my laptop instead, i do think its cool how much chaos it caused in the mobile gaming market and now we have the ROG ally and the Legion GO

[viral solstice]

Vainglory was the one LoL spinoff that was good, until a point at least. But at first the dev team was awesome and the game had genuine unique gameplay

[misty ridge]

thats why i used to play on a samsung galaxy view. had like a 17 inch screen

[gilded forge]

that's bc I play it on my rg505, buts its still a game

[vapid cypress]

Most mobile games are just bad. Because microtransactions are a thing

[misty ridge]

18.4 actually

[full fossil]

i disagree big time man, even if you can manage touch screen, its still not better than a kb and mouse or controller. a phone is annoying to hold and a tiny screen, there is no way you cant convince me its the worst way to experience a game

[harsh quartz]

i remember playing it a long time ago, it was definitely a LoL like that was VERY inspired by LoL, i just called it a ripoff cause a lot of the characters were too similar

[gilded forge]

free mobile games

[misty ridge]

LoL mobile community sucks tho

[full fossil]

so buy a touch screen controller for your pc

[harsh quartz]

LoL community just sucks in general

[full fossil]

there is a reason noone wants that lol

[misty ridge]

vainglory was great, i was good friends with one of the VG TSM players back in the day

[harsh quartz]

also this is fairly new compared to LoL, and its years behind on characters and items

[misty ridge]

yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

[vapid cypress]

Yeah its a revolutionary piece of tech. I play on it because its more powerful than my current laptop + its super power efficient compared to a laptop

[neon mesa]

The best thing about android is flexibility.
Kek.

[misty ridge]

mobile games peaked at that block pusher game from like 2008 and you wont change my mind

[neon mesa]

iPhone dynamic island

[gilded forge]

what is that

[neon mesa]

For the punch hole cam

[full fossil]

the only good mobile games are ports that are still best experienced on other playforms

[neon mesa]

Dynamic island

[harsh quartz]

i just have a notch, i still prefer the notch over the camera hole intrusively in my content from the android screens

[radiant trench]

I think your phone might be at 89% but I'd need another indicator to confirm

[neon mesa]

I prefer the camera hole

[gilded forge]

yes but why? and how? and why do I need it to tell me it's charging when I can look IN YHE FUCKING RIGHTHAND TOP CORNER

[full fossil]

So you have bad taste, thats fine man

[neon mesa]

It only appears when you plug in, and its also for notifs

[full fossil]

if you like honk honk or whatever, yes

[gilded forge]

again how

so every Ubisoft game ever??

[neon mesa]

An app called dynamic spot

[radiant trench]

Was that the latest buzzword apple invented to sell people on

[full fossil]

im just busting your balls, im a different generation i cant get into the anime gacha stuff

Preordering is stupid

[indigo trellis]

Is star feild bad

[sturdy forum]

Still tho my questions require answers

[indigo trellis]

I just installed star feild

[harsh quartz]

not really, if you want to support a small developer or know your gonna get a game either way, its just extra bonuses

[neon mesa]

Everyone believed on starfield too much. It's like stepping on the same landmine 3 times after forspoken and TLOU is a thing.
And it's fucking bethesda.

[radiant trench]

I singled out Bethesda but yeah, its been borderline scam territory for several years now. But the general population will never learn

[sturdy forum]

Still stupid

[indigo trellis]

Is it bad?

[neon mesa]

Another unoptimized shit

[sturdy forum]

A small developer doesn't need preorders to deliver a quality product

[harsh quartz]

i will 100% preorder silksong when its put on preorder

[harsh quartz]

no, they just need it to survive?

[indigo trellis]

Its run well for me

[neon mesa]

RX 6700 getting 30fps is not "well"

[sturdy forum]

I guess it depends how small U want to get

[neon mesa]

Yet another overly reliant on upscaling title

Upscaling should be a bonus, not a requirement

[harsh quartz]

when i say small developer i dont mean "oh thats a smallish AAA dev" i mean a small developer

[sturdy forum]

Small developers have other routes of revenue

[neon mesa]

They even have the audacity to have FSR on by default

[sturdy forum]

React with downvote if U don't work in the industry

[full fossil]

I dont get the last part. TES 1-5 were pretty much all known for breaking the mold by pushing graphics and features providing depth and immersion. I know their games are notoriously buggy but people acting like bethesda should be low expectations is wild to me

[harsh quartz]

i dont know what nfs is and honestly i stopped caring when you said EA

[gilded forge]

I think the community got smarter with the Cyberpunk launch, then there was Balan Wonderworld and Battlefield 2042, CrossFireX, and Saints Row 2022

[radiant trench]

Please understand dlss and fsr is a clutch for our amazing game to run properly you don't get it

[gilded forge]

need for speed

[sharp cradle]

i honestly dislike how frs2 looks

[harsh quartz]

jesus christ balan wonderworld i forgot about that shit

[vapid cypress]

These games have like 5 layers of grind on top of them first you need primogems then you gamble then you look for exp then you look for artifacts then you need more primogems for weapons ect ect its just a job not a game. Which make it look terrible infront of the whole gaming space

[harsh quartz]

not a fan of racing games

[neon mesa]

Oh yeah jedi survivor is a thing
Very forgettable

I like racing sims like Gran Turismo, but thats about it

gran turismo 7 is great

EA and Ubsioft can go bankrupt if all i care. Horrible companies

[neon mesa]

Meanwhile EA milking Madden since the 90s

[gilded forge]

NFS Unbound is a pretty fun experience, I also just really like the hot Emos in that game

[harsh quartz]

ehh, people need jobs, they need a restructuring, not to go bankrupt

[sturdy forum]

Ubisoft going bankrupt means no rainbow six, hard pass

[gilded forge]

or any sports game

[radiant trench]

Honestly not at all. Massive games to this day all hit steam top seller before launch through pre ordering, Hogwarts legacy was rolling in dough before anyone even played it for example. Happens with every game. We are a vocal minority

[sturdy forum]

[harsh quartz]

oh boy now thats a toxic community

[full fossil]

Here is a list of Ubisoft games I like:

This is the end of the list.

same goes for EA

[neon mesa]

Gamers never learn.
Then cry when their preordered game is a piece of shit at launch.

[sturdy forum]

So what games do U like

[radiant trench]

You forgot these games:

Try to include them in your list next time, jerk

[gilded forge]

Rayman 2

[harsh quartz]

what about old assassins creed?

[full fossil]

Blobbers, RPGs, Factory Sims, Souls games, Monster Hunter games, Armored Core

There needs to be a VR satisfactory.

[sturdy forum]

Sony and tecent have stakes in frontsoftware though

[vapid cypress]

I love factorio i built a massive factory until met trains then i quit because i hate them and they make no sense despite all the tutorials i watched

[harsh quartz]

VR gaming is such a weird concept that they keep trying to make work and its probably not going to for 10+ years

[gilded forge]

yeah multiplayer was... rough. ngl I'm not a fan of the Horizon games. just never got into em.

[sturdy forum]

I gave up the I hate X triple A studio a long time ago, they all suck 🫠

[full fossil]

I have no interest in VR personally, I am already detached from reality enough, i dont need more help with that lol

i can get fully immersed in a monitor no problem

[sturdy forum]

They all own each other aswell to a degree

[neon mesa]

VR gaming is the most fun i had, even if i get knocked by motion sickness thanks to my prescription lense insert lol

[vapid cypress]

The only game i actually like in vr is beat saber

[sturdy forum]

Support souls = support tecent (financially) and every single gacha game

See the issue here

[gilded forge]

idk big anime milkers in VR chat is weird

[neon mesa]

I don't play vrchat often, just with my BF

[full fossil]

yeah but its fun for like 20 min tops for me then im sick of using it , its neat to try but not to do often, meanwhile i can play so many good games for 20 hours a day no problem on a monitor lol

[neon mesa]

It's mostly for shooter and flight simulator

[radiant trench]

Damn I got bonked for that

[neon mesa]

Oh and of course beat saber workout

But flight sims are the most fun in VR

Vr chat, but i only play with my BF lol

[vapid cypress]

Its a nice fun exercise tho it does get boring if you dont have custom songs

[neon mesa]

Me and my mountain of custom songs

[gilded forge]

Burnout Paradise is still my favorite racing game.

[harsh quartz]

square enix and Riot arent too bad

[vapid cypress]

Me with 0 custom songs

[neon mesa]

Get one then

Or 10, or 50

[sturdy forum]

Google stake owners for both companies, then google their stake holders.

[gilded forge]

the only VR games I play is Blade and Sorcery, Beat Saber, and the I Expect You to Die series.

[vapid cypress]

Cant

[tulip ermine]

Ok..

[sturdy forum]

You'll be guaranteed to support a company you hate

[neon mesa]

O yea blade and sorcery, where i can apply my rage to society on poor NPCs! /j

[sturdy forum]

Financially speaking

[vapid cypress]

Most games on vr suck so bad on oculus standalone the physics are so wonky

Also looks ugly

[neon mesa]

Oh rip

I play PCVR

[full fossil]

how is skyrim in vr?

[sturdy forum]

Capitalism leads to exploitation, better than starvation though

[vapid cypress]

I dont own a gaming pc capable for vr unfortunately

[harsh quartz]

supporting NFT will definitely be a phase that will burn itself out, and thats not exactly anti consumer. Tencent has their hand in a lot of things nowadaya snd i cant go around going "man im not gonna play a free game so that i dont give money to this other company"

[full fossil]

nothing is better than starvation

[gilded forge]

yeah but square makes FF games and octopath traveller.

[full fossil]

noone has played skyrim vr?

[sturdy forum]

I did

[neon mesa]

I haven't

[full fossil]

its like the only vr game im curious about

[sturdy forum]

Ages ago though

[full fossil]

is it immersive?

[sturdy forum]

And it was the mod (better) than the standalone version

[gilded forge]

I bought a quest 2 back before its proce increase

[neon mesa]

My VR setup is quite jank kek

[full fossil]

would you rather have VR or an RV

[gilded forge]

RV because I don't own a car rn or housr

[sturdy forum]

No VR game is immersive, hate to break it to you

Rather a RV

[full fossil]

sucks

[harsh quartz]

i dont understand, whats keeping the VR market alive? every couple years youll hear about a new thing and then it will dissapear, rinse and repeat

[sturdy forum]

VR was overhyped to shit

[full fossil]

yall too young

[sturdy forum]

And it pretty sucky overall

[gilded forge]

indie developers

[full fossil]

or i guess im tooo old

[sturdy forum]

I'm 19 🥹

[neon mesa]

There's enough people interested in it, and a lot happens to be whales of cash.

[full fossil]

im much older

[harsh quartz]

but why do big companies keep making new headset swhen it seems that every headset just flops

[sturdy forum]

VR has its merits, overall not worth It though

[gilded forge]

meta stopped the metaverse project.

[neon mesa]

Your opinion

[sturdy forum]

How old

[harsh quartz]

but how, everyone hated the whole thing and it seemed awful but theyre... surviving? somehow?

[sturdy forum]

Meta has a good offer

[neon mesa]

I'm much happier with my pico 4 headset than if i spent that money on something like a PS4

[sturdy forum]

A PS4 is like 100$ tho

[neon mesa]

PS5 is $500

[gilded forge]

eh idk if that's a good thing. do we really want lizard man to infect our precious gaming market

[sturdy forum]

Big difference between a PS4 and ps5

[sturdy forum]

Meta is no worse than every single triple A company

[harsh quartz]

idk, i still think 300$ is a lot for something that has almost no games

[full fossil]

Start with a positive integer, n.
Calculate the nth prime number, denoted as P(n).
Take the square root of P(n).
Add 7 to the result from step 3.
Multiply the result from step 4 by the absolute value of the sine of P(n).
Subtract 42 from the result obtained in step 5.
Finally, divide the result from step 6 by 2.

[gilded forge]

meta owns Facebook, therefore worse.

[neon mesa]

It has a lot of games. I have one.

[harsh quartz]

almost everyone that ive talked to both online and in real life, every single one said "yeah the games were boring but theres this one i really like called beat saber"

[neon mesa]

Only thing missing is beat saber and VRC tbh

[gilded forge]

hypothetically there's a project called Rookie Sideloader which theoretically can download the apks from the meta store and install them kn your headset.

[neon mesa]

VRC, idk why isn't in pico.
But beat saber is owned by meta so there's that.

[sturdy forum]

Ya... And nfts, privacy invasion, basic spyware, microtransactions marketed towards kids, ect isn't worse

Every single industry is as bad as the other

[full fossil]

im so glad nfts are dying

[neon mesa]

I use my pico 4 for PCVR so.
I get the benefit of the super high clarity and the games

[harsh quartz]

is there anything you dont hate?

[full fossil]

Here is a list of crypto i invested in:

This concludes the list

[gilded forge]

Facebook as a platform is spyware, adware, privacy invasion, and marketed toward kids AND adults. yeah.

[neon mesa]

Quest 2 is fresnel

[harsh quartz]

i put 10 bucks into shiba, i sold at 10.04$

[sturdy forum]

I don't hate these companies, I hate people ignoring the facts and favoritism towards one company based on moral opinions

[neon mesa]

And Quest 3 is $200 more expensive

[full fossil]

Warren Buffet is that you?

[harsh quartz]

no you seem to kinda just be shitting on every company or concept that gets brought up

[neon mesa]

Useless shit i never use

[gilded forge]

no one's buying the quest 3. at that price might as well go with psVr but the PSVR is so fucking expensive.

[harsh quartz]

hey, that 0.04$ can build interest, who knows, in 50 years i might have 0.20$

[sturdy forum]

All of them are done by triple A companies, riot = spyware, EA = microtransactions, all of them = privacy invasions with data collection on a un opt out bases

[neon mesa]

PSVR2 needs a PS5, costs $550, and tied to a PS5.
Quest 3 costs $500, doesn't need a PC, and can connect to a PC if you want to.

[full fossil]

The AR product I want , is normal glasses that can add filters to normal life and adds notifications from your phone

[harsh quartz]

riot has spyware?

[gilded forge]

no. it's actually $500 more

[sturdy forum]

And unlike Facebook, riot literally installs a rootkit.

[sturdy forum]

Their anticheat is a root kit, can explain why that's a issue if you'd like

[gilded forge]

that's...how anticheat works.

[neon mesa]

EAC isn't kernel level

[harsh quartz]

oh yeah its vanguard, well i guess the chinese government has my email address, oh no

[sturdy forum]

EAC and battleye don't have root kits... Want a diagram how process priority works?

[spice pine]

you practically have to have base access to the machine for anti cheat bc of how deep and far people will go to cheat in an online videogames

[sturdy forum]

And that's acceptable?

[full fossil]

it shouldnt bbe

[spice pine]

Not saying it is. Just pointing it out

[full fossil]

but it do be like that

[gilded forge]

"Kamu is the creator of EasyAntiCheat, a Kernel-Level Anti-Cheat System used by more than 70 gaming studios globally."

[spice pine]

It’s part of why I don’t play multiplayer games anymore

[harsh quartz]

also vanguard is only used for valorant, they dont even use it for league, so it doesnt fuckin matter for me anyways 😛

[full fossil]

i just dont keep anything important on my computer, i do everything important to my finances on my iphone

[neon mesa]

All those anti cheat about to be invalidated when AI-based cheat come along lmfao

[spice pine]

Why would they need Vanguard, a toxic piece of software, when you’ve already installed League, the most toxic piece of software?

[harsh quartz]

i mean, some people do cheat but its very different to cheat in a MOBA style game instead of a fps

[neon mesa]

AI based cheats straight up control the mouse and see through a camera.
You can't stop that.

[sturdy forum]

All can not function when the application is closed.

[full fossil]

also even if i gave everyone my email and password noone can get in, thanks titan

[neon mesa]

Too much effort for now

[gilded forge]

and none of them can function of your computer is off. so just turn off your computer.

[sturdy forum]

A kernel based anticheat != Operation at boot

[harsh quartz]

i mean, fair, but, i got addicted when it was all my old computer could run, so

[spice pine]

why would you want to play online video games these days anyways

[gilded forge]

OSRS

[harsh quartz]

cause ive played most the singleplayer ones i want

[neon mesa]

The only two online game i play is pavlov VR and roblox lol

[sturdy forum]

@gilded forge U neglect the issue is the fact that it runs even when the game is not running, unlike EAC and battleye

[spice pine]

Maybe I’m old and bitter, but most games I used to play, i left because of the player base. People are just so rude and awful when behind a layer of anonymity

[harsh quartz]

this is the worst thing anyone couldve said, ngl

Don't give a fuck anymore, fun games.
Every company is shit

[full fossil]

I’m with you but mostly because people are stupid on top of toxic lol I love my old single player RPGs and can happily play them for eternity

[sturdy forum]

Exactly my point, so why try and defend one because they didn't do X but they did X

[spice pine]

I just wanna play games without being called things for being a woman lmao

[neon mesa]

I didn't defend anything

[sturdy forum]

And they are all owned by the same shareholders lol(not targetting youre point was just related to mine)

[harsh quartz]

ive honestly never once seen this happen and i used to duo with a female friend a lot back on old overwatch voice chats, im not saying it doesnt happen tho

[neon mesa]

You can be a shit company but if you provide me with fun entertaining games, win-win.
Don't be like AAA companies, shit company AND makes bad games.

[harsh quartz]

roblox doesnt even make the games

[neon mesa]

I know, it's simplification

[spice pine]

why would I play a Ubisoft game

[harsh quartz]

yeah, that game i can see it being much worse in, that whole playerbase is actually worse than LoL even though league catches the most shit

even i thought the R6S playerbase was too toxic

[full fossil]

The only online i miss is mmos back when people would use guild chat and get to know eachother and actually want to make friends. now everything is mega guilds and take games to seriously

[spice pine]

Roblox was cool before the giant boom in popularity from younger kids, back in mid 2010 or so when it still wasn’t overly monetized and it was full of small-time passion projects instead of “front page fodder”

[neon mesa]

Game i play on roblox is a space combat game where you can be any ship of few big franchises.
Space war thunder, real fun.
Can't judge the whole platform because all you tried is some "shitting in a toilet simulator"

[harsh quartz]

yeah, the racism i have seen, weirdly enough you almost never see it in leage even though that game is notorious for it, and if there is ever racism you can report them and the player almost instantly always has action taken agains tthem

[full fossil]

i have played almost every mmo but havent enjoyed one since 2005 lol

Star wars squadron got boring real quick ngl.
And i hate that it's tied to EA app.
I prefer ace combat and project wingman

[nova ingot]

Also like politics is playing more and more into games

[full fossil]

This mentality of rush to beat the game to go to the next one that started like 10 years ago has kileld gaming imo

[tidal minnow]

I've only played the first missions so I currently don't have any boredom when playing

[full fossil]

That is a HUGE gripe for me

[harsh quartz]

this goes hand in hand with the aggressive moneitzation most games hav emoved to, when theres so much cuirreny in game thats worth more than some real currencies, people start to take it too seriously

[nova ingot]

Played with a group who refused to play East and West servers, only central. Not only because of ping but partially because of that, but because they didn’t like the politics of the coastal s

[full fossil]

Like I have a lot of opinions and beliefs that would likely upset people, but I dont talk about them or share them in polite company, but thats how I was raised and because of that i can get along with anyone, i am so sick of everything being about self, and self righteousness and politics

[nova ingot]

It gets awkward.
When they make a racist or sexier joke you can either.
-Laugh alongside even though it’s offensive and fit in

• say something and be accused of being political

[harsh quartz]

i used to work with someone who was like "old America" type of person, and it was so funny watching new people meet him for the first time cause he would IMMEDIATLY and aggressively go into politics

[tidal minnow]

I wonder if jedi fallen order has multilayer mods. I wanna play it with friends rn

[full fossil]

I wont be friends with anyone who does this on either side

[tidal minnow]

Grandmaster difficulty jedi fallen order with friends would be cool

[nova ingot]

“Where are you from”
“Why does it matter? Ping”
“Cause I want to know if i can joke with you”

[harsh quartz]

na it was fuckin hilarious cause we ran the same machine on day/night shift, so whenever we had to train someone on a split shift i would come in and they would go "what the fuck is wrong with this guy" like clockwork, every time

[grim marten]

I have not? What is it

[pure olive]

its a vendor for pc parts, mostly watercooling stuff

I paid $50 for 2 day shipping and over a week later it's still processing

[grim marten]

Yikes

That’s not good

[pure olive]

I know it charged me money

so idk wtf they're doing

[grim marten]

What do you define well off as?

[dreamy rose]

Apple quality customer service

[pure olive]

im gonna email support and be like wtf are you doing

[grim marten]

I’ve actually always had good customer service from apple

[tropic lava]

how do you get the bread roll role

[grim marten]

Idk if that is because of my location idk if it worse is other countries

[dreamy rose]

yeah because you can always buy the newest one when the screen shatters.

[grim marten]

I only buy every other iPhone lol

[dreamy rose]

not everyone can.

[grim marten]

Then i give my old one to a friend or family member

[tropic lava]

guys how do I get bread role

[harsh quartz]

Can’t

[grim marten]

You can’t anymore it was a limit time thing

[tropic lava]

oh

how did you get it

[pure olive]

"Why is my order taking so long to ship? I specifically paid $50 for the 2 day shipping, because I wanted the waterblock quickly, yet over a week later it's still "processing". I know you got the money, because you charged my card, so what's taking so long?"

[full fossil]

I laced LMG’s Fentanyl supply with more Fentanyl

[harsh quartz]

Living comfortable within your household income in a given location with a little bit of disposable income left over

[grim marten]

Yep that’s me

I’m comfortable

[harsh quartz]

You but you have a LOT of disposable income left over

[pure olive]

my new power supply is so overkill lol

[grim marten]

I wouldn’t say a lot. Maybe more then others

[grim marten]

No it’s not

[full fossil]

I’ve had the same 850w since 2015~

[grim marten]

Is it titanium grade?

[pure olive]

I got a 1200w for the sole reason that I didn't ever want to get a new one

[grim marten]

What efficiency rating is it?

[harsh quartz]

Future proofing 🔻

[spice pine]

My ole BFG Tech 1000W 80 Plus Bronze is still kicking from 13+ years ago

[pure olive]

gold

I didn't want to pay $500 for a titanium

[grim marten]

What about platinum isn’t that between gold and titanium?

[pure olive]

I got my cultist A tier 1200w for $200

[grim marten]

Or am i making things up?

[pure olive]

I think so

[harsh quartz]

Put two 4090s on it in SLI

[full fossil]

Terraria is a good reference for things like this

SLI

[spice pine]

i can not afford

[harsh quartz]

And? This is the LTT server, do some weird shit and make it happen

[dreamy rose]

thats the joke

[spice pine]

https://tenor.com/view/chudy-borat-socka-soused-radek-gif-16503492

[harsh quartz]

Me neither 😢

[pure olive]

We're tech nerds not software engineers (at least most of us)

[full fossil]

The evga 1080 Hybrid (hybrid=its own radiator) supports SLI which I think is weird

[grim marten]

Same

[harsh quartz]

Just fuckin solder the cores together and make one giant 4090 the same way apple makes their bigger cpus

[pure olive]

that isn't how it works

[spice pine]

chief i manage people selling cell phones im not taking in 4090 money

[harsh quartz]

You spent 30k on your setup, yes you can

[harsh quartz]

Celling phones

[grim marten]

I’ve just always like having a titanium grade power supply so when I’m barely doing anything on my computer it’s not pulling 800 watts

[harsh quartz]

Just make a bigger chip

[pure olive]

@grim marten were you sli 3090 or 3090ti

[pure olive]

that only works to a point

[grim marten]

I have sli 3090tis

[full fossil]

What’s a good camera for 24/7 Fishtank live esque purposes

[pure olive]

sick

[grim marten]

Sony a7r4

[harsh quartz]

Oh yeah, definitely can’t afford 2 4090s mr poor over here

[pure olive]

good thing you're going custom watercooling this time

gonna look so amazing

[grim marten]

What does that mean? Lol does my old build look bad

[full fossil]

Cough cough broski that’s 2000$

[pure olive]

All it means is custom watercooling > aio imo

[harsh quartz]

Bigger = better

[pure olive]

though that is a nice aio

[grim marten]

You know what the sad part is the custom cables just came in like a week before the fire that pc was about to look way better with cable management

[pure olive]

when you start scaling up you hit issues with latency in between the cores, and signal degradation

[pure olive]

Damn

[harsh quartz]

Bigger = better

[grim marten]

This is my first time working with metal tubing tho i hope it goes smooth

[pure olive]

oh you're just trolling

[grim marten]

Good thing i can game on my laptop while i wait for more parts to come in

[pure olive]

yeah

[harsh quartz]

Of course I’m trolling, no I’m not legitimately telling you to solder together 2 4090 dies

[pure olive]

I'm so happy that I have like a top of the line gaming rig now

[grim marten]

Gotta love a laptop with a 4090 in it lol

[midnight totem]

Lol uservenchmark is such a meme... Their intel shilling and fanboy-ism has just gotten worse since I last checked

[harsh quartz]

Userbenchmark is a website that I have to keep telling my classmates not to use every time they try to look something up

[pure olive]

the laptop 4090 isnt the best but it's still crazy for a laptop

[median idol]

What cpu you got in there

[pure olive]

hi bass

how you doing

[grim marten]

I had 2 3090 tis

[harsh quartz]

No it’s the best for a laptop

[grim marten]

Wow I’m dumb and can’t read

13900ks

[pure olive]

I meant gpu in general

[harsh quartz]

Mhmm

[full fossil]

Conjoined twins have 2 service plans and 2 phones right?

I can type with one hand but im typing with 2 currently

[spice pine]

…?

[full fossil]

They share 2 arms and 2 hands

They aren’t like uhh goro from Mortal Kombat

Goro would have one phone

[harsh quartz]

One phone dual sim

[median idol]

Ah he's a hot boi. 13900K here and single 4090 Founders Edition

[grim marten]

That was my old build sadly

[full fossil]

SIM cards have been killed ):

[spice pine]

where were you when sim card is kill?

[harsh quartz]

Which makes dual sim even easier, but mine still has a physical sim :p

[full fossil]

I miss abusing my phone and taking out the SIM card to look at it once

Then doing again and again every week to see if it’s still in there

[harsh quartz]

I’m so used to buying carrier locked contract phones that the digital sim thing isn’t really a problem for me

[full fossil]

(Thoughts) ‘See that Chippy, that’s your number’

My granny manages my cellular situation

[deep sedge]

man i'm so hungry but it's midnight

idc i'm still gonna eat

[harsh quartz]

Pizza

Or ramen

[deep sedge]

or a little sandwich

[harsh quartz]

No, if your gonna do it you gotta do it right

Cold leftover pizza

[grim marten]

Can’t you tell your chief to make you something?

[harsh quartz]

Stay out of this daphne

[dreamy rose]

i would expect the 7800XT to be 800/900 AUD at least. most cards are 100USD more than the normal US Prices.

[grim marten]

Check out the new cables for my ayra organic headphones

Can use them cheap stock ones

[harsh quartz]

certified Razer keyboard moment

[grim marten]

Lol i used them at my office for all the macros i use

[deep sedge]

i don't have leftover pizza

[jaunty compass]

I lost my gamecube copy of metroid prime 2 echoes

[prisma marsh]

bruh I cant fix these cursed frame stutters im about to lose it

[harsh quartz]

Then get new pizza so that it can be leftover later

[deep sedge]

okay mr millionaire

[jaunty compass]

flagships shouldn't look like glass sandwiches

[deep sedge]

at 12:44 am

-_-

[harsh quartz]

Yeah except then it will be expensive to repair and it won’t succeed cause no one will buy it

[harsh quartz]

Not here, guess you should live somewhere else

[deep sedge]

take a flight at 12:44 am -_-

[harsh quartz]

Skillgap

[jaunty compass]

I will drive this screw into glass

[grim marten]

I’m not a millionaire lol

[deep sedge]

well mr "i have a chief"

[harsh quartz]

Then do it

[grim marten]

Lol i don’t have a chief i have a wife

She hates when i call her chief

[deep sedge]

well mr "i abuse my wife for food"

[grim marten]

Lol if anything I’m the cook and she cleans

[jaunty compass]

i was so confused

[deep sedge]

ok

[jaunty compass]

i realized you meant chef

I was like "chief? why does he call his wife chief?"

"is she really buff?"

[grim marten]

Yep just good ol me being illiterate lol

[full fossil]

Chief keef

[grim marten]

Didn’t the iPhone 4 have that?

[jaunty compass]

i think the main problem is that it's using the Qualcomm QCM 6490 when it's a $700(?) device

the fairphone 5

..yeah

it's called the fairphone 5

I think it looks fine

[south stone]

Any website similar to ufd deals?

[jaunty compass]

neither have I before now lol

[south stone]

Wasn't that company taking $2k preoders on a 4 year old tech phone?

[jaunty compass]

yeah; that's the main problem with fairphone, the price

they're very repairable and have quite long term support

but they're expensive

I don't really care that much about style considering i'm mostly using my phone to watch youtube in the dark

[harsh quartz]

It doesn’t tho

[south stone]

Falls into the framework dilemma. Pay $3k for an upgradeable computer instead of $1.5k on a equal spec'd computer, then 5 years down the road spend another $1,5k into a very updated laptop again.

[jaunty compass]

It looks...fine

[jaunty compass]

framework has more of a place because of the upgradability; the fairphones only have reparability

[south stone]

Upgrade also costs TG2. xD

[harsh quartz]

And?

[jaunty compass]

I still plan on buying a framework 16" eventually

[jaunty compass]

well yeah but i can reuse the old board or sell it

so that offsets the cost, personally

[south stone]

And if 5 years from now there's DDR6, or better displays, or better wifi, or better everything.... You'd have to swap the whole computer.

[desert ivy]

Never in my life I would've thought I'd see people angry about the color of their screwdrivers. If you'd told me that before LTT. I would've thought that is a joke.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah cause that’s what sells

Then buy one

[jaunty compass]

...that doesn't have anything to do with the message you replied to

I was talking about the framework motherboards

[kindred tangle]

does anyone have problem loading youtube in the browser? or just me

[harsh quartz]

You have no internet

[kindred tangle]

yet i'm on discord somehow 😄

[harsh quartz]

Definitely an internet issue

[jaunty compass]

and then you replied to a message about the framework

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/toast-motivation-toaster-happy-good-morning-gif-4992612

[kindred tangle]

hmm, it loads on brave, so chrome issue

[jaunty compass]

why are the older gpd wins still so expensive

[harsh quartz]

You should contact your ISP

[dreamy rose]

nobody should be using Google Chrome.

[harsh quartz]

Economies of scale

[jaunty compass]

I'm looking at ebay though I don't know how much that applies

I can't imagine too many people are actually buying these

[harsh quartz]

If people bought them for high prices then they want to sell them for high prices

[harsh quartz]

Yes, that’s the economy of scale

[jaunty compass]

you'd think that demand being low would mean price drops

[harsh quartz]

Yes but supply is also low cause they never made many

[jaunty compass]

but apparently not in this case because of the common pc fallacy where people think something is worth more than it is because they paid a lot when it was new

My gaming pc that I paid $1k for 5 years ago must be worth $700

that's the thought process, for some reason

[harsh quartz]

But this ain’t a PC, this is unique

[jaunty compass]

maybe back when they came out but not so much anymore

[harsh quartz]

No it’s still fairly unique

[jaunty compass]

UMPCs have had a massive resurgence

[harsh quartz]

But those specific models haven’t had a lot made

So demand is going up but supply is finite

[jaunty compass]

more have released in the past 3 years than had released in the past like 6 or 7 before it which is wild

[harsh quartz]

Therefore higher prices

[jaunty compass]

for the win 1 and 2 i really don't know about that

they're really not very good anymore

[harsh quartz]

Okay you can’t have it bother ways, either people are wanting them or they aren’t, your contradicting yourself

[jaunty compass]

You must not be reading what I'm saying, because I'm saying people don't want them

so why are the prices still so high

when nobody is buying them
