It can be yours for only 420 easy payments of $69

[dusty rune]

i think thats slightly above my budget

[vapid smelt]

@dusty rune it’s an evga gpu my fren

[vapid smelt]

what app is that

[fierce moth]

I found my echo dot that I got cheap

And now ik why alexa is a POS

Literally zero google cast equivalent

So I can't even use plexamp on the thing

[polar fern]

@gilded forge but is it rose gold?

I made the difficult decision earlier to stop following and supporting a content creator that I have followed for a very long time.

they just seem too fickle to interact with, and their significant other has too many hot takes and is always in their livestream chat

[vapid smelt]

cant believe you are unsubing from belle delphine

[polar fern]

And of course, when anyone’s significant other is present in the chat, it’s always extremely eggshell walking to interact with them

Who?

And me being a student of music theory, it bothered me that their significant other also made some pretty yikes commentary about different trends in music and audio mixing

[full fossil]

That username is mint

[low rain]

Fuck today I had a speech but then I started stuttering so much

[carmine light]

I used to stutter, but I found a novel solution

shutting the fuck up

[echo canopy]

[low rain]

Yes im gonna shut up in the middle of a speech

This was the first time I’ve stuttered in a speech

And most times I do speech’s it’s for about 260 people but this time it was only 30

[gilded forge]

if you just pause..then you won't stutter. stuttering through a speech is more painful than pausing Everytime you start

[carmine light]

Sounds like you're a volume guy. You just need big reactions

Next time, just imagine those 30 people are instead all conjoined twins

It helps if you drop a shitload of acid first

[low rain]

Today my day was horrible, in the morning somebody fucking licks my phone case so rn I’m using my phone without a phone case and then i stuttered in the speech like holy shit

Like why the fuck would u lick my phone 😭😭😭

[carmine light]

I'm having trouble imagining the circumstances that would lead to someone licking your phone case

[low rain]

I was mad and confused

Chelsea fc have won a game of football.

That sounds like a punching situation

Ugh, y'ever just get sinus/allergy problems so bad you just feel like shooting yourself in the fuckin face?

I feel like my brain is leakin' out my nostrils

fuck my face man

[carmine light]

Dude seriously fuck Adobe. I only pirate them now since I ran into an issue where I couldn't uninstall any Adobe app without being online and connected to Adobe's creative cloud

Seriously, you legit cannot uninstall an Adobe app without being connected to Creative Cloud. It's dumb as fuck

[merry gull]

so just delete it from program files / program files x86

[carmine light]

There's a workaround, but it involves using a CMD line tool created by Adobe, which is obscure as fuck to find and not listed on their website in a reasonable manner

[carmine light]

which causes other problems, like it still being in your program's list, etc...it's dumb as fuck that they don't just have an uninstaller. Yeah, I know those issues can all be solved by doing the uninstallation work yourself, but that shouldn't be the case

[merry gull]

does it just get lost in the PATH home variable or some shit?

[carmine light]

If you choose "uninstall" from within Windows settings it just opens creative cloud and wants you to sign in to uninstall. That shouldn't be a thing. I shouldn't need an internet connection to uninstall an app

Like I legit feel like that kind of software practice should be illegal

Which is just one reason why I pirate Adobe apps

Fuck Adobe

for that

their software itself is cool af tho

[polar fern]

@low rain speech disfluency is nothing to be worried or ashamed about - just be yourself and do your best to deliver the message you showed up to talk about. 👍

<@&750150305383186585> @carmine light rule 2

Also, people who act inappropriately typically crave attention and don’t know how to get it appropriately. Usually it’s some sort of family dynamic gone wrong.

Sorry about your phone case

[elfin jetty]

@graceful burrowI dont know why you said the zotac card runs hot, it hits 71c max

and it draws over 330 watts

[wispy marsh]

I feel attacked and validated in the same sentence

Thank you

[polar fern]

❤️

[graceful burrow]

I said people say it runs hot, I'd never say it does unless i validated it did myself

[elfin jetty]

well now i guess we both know otherwise, and the fans hardly even ramp up

I think I'm in love with this thing lmao

[graceful burrow]

Depends on the card I suppose
It def is the best looking 30 series sku

SUDAFED. Pseudoephedrine is not just a gift from Walter White's upstanding chemical laboratory, it's a god-send for sinus issues. I've had terrible pressure headaches go away in minutes from that beautiful substance. The shit in front of the counter just doesn't do like good ole pseudo

are heat pipes one of those things you can bend back into place or should i just buy a replacement part

[polar fern]

I just do tea & neck massage.

@thin fjord send me a photo

[elfin jetty]

that is true, the only thing i had to change about the rest of my pc is removing the secondary gpu (3080ti was too big) and I also had to run a second pcie power cable

[carmine light]

Oh hell yeah dude I love that stuff. I'm just out right now and the store is a ways away. I live on a fucking mountain, literally lol

[elfin jetty]

this is the final product

[carmine light]

like at the peak of a mountain

legit we get no thunderstorms here because the mountain parts them

well, not at the peak but close enough

half the time I get groceries delivered, but then I feel bad for the peeps that gotta drive up here

You guys know any good movies out right now?

[low rain]

I was mumbling and stuttering so I honestly feel like this was js a popularity contest cause if I were one of them I wouldn’t vote for me

[thin fjord]

that card is awesome

love the colorway

[elfin jetty]

imo, best looking 30 series gpu

hands down

[thin fjord]

agreed

[elfin jetty]

I'm in love with this gpu

and dont worry, my 3060ti is going to my best friend for the computer I'm gonna build them for their birthday

so it will still have a long happy gaming life

Chad card at that price is the a380

[chrome vector]

How high though? Also, do you eat bear? I've heard you're not a true mountain man till you've ate bear in them hills. Just ask Hosea and Arthur

[vapid smelt]

the normal rtx 3050 8gb i wonder where the weaker 6gb model will land

[chrome vector]

I will never forgive Nvidia for kneecapping the 3060ti to the point both that the 3050 has the same amount of Vram and the regular 3060 has 4gb more. Fuck Nvidia's stingy ass move. I was going to go with a 3060ti, but ended up getting an EVGA 3090ti for a fantastic price BNIB. Wanted the best EVGA card I could get, since this was last call. Can't wait for Intel (and hopefully AMD) to catch up. Now that EVGA is gone, I've had it up to here with Nvidia. I'm not saying I will never by a card from them ever again, but they are going to be my last choice until they turn shit around. I would rather sacrifice performance (in things like ray-tracing) than just blindly buy Nvidia now that EVGA is gone. Like I said, really hope Intel and AMD start catching up to Nvidia, they need to be knocked down a few (dozen) pegs

[vapid smelt]

they also made a 3060 8gb model

[polar fern]

@chrome vector https://a.co/d/beWLlTz

@vapid smelt hey my card is right in the middle on that chart!

6650 xt

[chrome vector]

If only they made a 3060ti 12gb instead of that, like they should have in the first place

[chrome vector]

???

[polar fern]

“High end evga”

I prefer the look & design of the 4070ti aero tho

[chrome vector]

I'm not following tbh. What do you mean?

[polar fern]

You went on some long commentary about it I dunno. 🤷‍♂️

[chrome vector]

Okay?

[lilac bear]

EVGA dead

real chads use MSI

[coral surge]

it finally happened

[vapid smelt]

lie to them

[chrome vector]

Youtube be like

[calm swan]

wow

[polar fern]

I equate ad blockers on video service platforms to pirating content/theft of service.

[calm swan]

what are you using

i havent got this yet

[calm swan]

blame youtube, i was fine with single 5 second ads and now its dual 10 second unskippable

i turn it off for some creators tho

[delicate stirrup]

[lilac bear]

haven't seen this yet

[lilac bear]

depends on the video service, there are some real sketchy ones

[chrome vector]

I just use YouTube Premium anyways. I get it if you're a teenager or just broke, but Youtube Premium is really cheap, especially if you watch as much as i do. It's a no-brainer, really.

[polar fern]

Oh no, ads you can mute for however long. Totally unbearable. Better steal the content from the creator.

[vapid zephyr]

Likely around 5500 XT performance on that chart

[vapid zephyr]

If that shit ends up being what was supposed to be the 4050 I'm gonna be pissed, ngl

[calm swan]

doesnt it include yt music asw

thats not a bad deal

[harsh quartz]

Especially if you have a college ID and can get a student plan, it’s incredibly cheap then

[polar fern]

“I just use my privilege to take the ads away”

[full fossil]

?

[harsh quartz]

The fuck?

[polar fern]

Not everyone can afford or is able to pay for a subscription service

[full fossil]

Not everyone is forced to do so.

[harsh quartz]

Wow it’s almost as if that was included in the message

[vapid zephyr]

But overall, since it's a 50 tier card, this is probably what they should've released as a 3050 in the first place

A card you can release as a LP card without external power

[full fossil]

People when they realize that they're not obligated to purchase things:

[polar fern]

The conversation was about ad blockers, and stealing from content creators by using them

[vapid zephyr]

If that's stealing I guess sue me over it

[harsh quartz]

And an alternative is to purchase YouTube premium, no ads and no piracy, not sure what’s controversial about that?

[full fossil]

I don't give a shit about the content creators.

Let people do what they want.

[lilac bear]

white power is ruining youtube ad rev

[polar fern]

Then don’t watch the things that they make.

[full fossil]

Because that would be bad for the financially advantaged peopeeeeeeeee/s

[polar fern]

@lilac bear funny you say that oh my gosh, the amount of fringe right wing ads I’ve seen in the last few months is frankly concerning.

[harsh quartz]

What the fuck has happened to this conversation

[harsh quartz]

Hmmmm catered advertising much?

[lilac bear]

yeah Elon is doing a lot of damage from his alt right catering

[polar fern]

Nope

[vapid zephyr]

Please don't make this political, holy shit

[polar fern]

It’s not political, it’s a fact I’m talking about the type of ads that I’ve seen in a separate topic

[vapid smelt]

i will drop my law suit if you send me a rtx 4090

[polar fern]

Y’all don’t know how to talk about different things at the same time, I guess

[vapid zephyr]

It's you, you manage to make literally anything derive into a political topic

[harsh quartz]

I’m still confused how it went from “I pay for a service I enjoy” to “fuck people who pay for services”

[vapid zephyr]

That'd be $600 in shipping

[polar fern]

so the ads that I’m seeing are somehow related to me, even though they’re not … okay

There are two different topics based around the same idea of a video content platform

[pseudo mesa]

fuck this im out

[lilac bear]

when did you get here

[full fossil]

Don't forget the "So you're a student and able to get things cheaper/for free? You're privileged"

[polar fern]

If you are using an ad blocker, you are literally stealing from the company that you are viewing the videos who is hosting them and the content creator.

[full fossil]

Go ahead, sue me.

What are they going to do? Sue me?

[polar fern]

i’m not gonna see you, I just think it’s fucked up

Well, they have your IP address

[harsh quartz]

We can’t encourage piracy of other content and not YouTube videos :p

[full fossil]

So where's your discord nitro? Discord is a free service and they need money to keep the servers up so why don't you buy a Nitro?

[harsh quartz]

Fuck nitro

[full fossil]

Using discorf for free means you're stealing discord resources

[polar fern]

we are talking about ad blockers, and we are not talking about discord.

[harsh quartz]

Okay now your being dumb

[lilac bear]

if the base plan was $2 I would get it

[full fossil]

Why am I not able to use your logic?

[full fossil]

I'm just regurgitating their logic.

[vapid zephyr]

Why are you talking if you don't even understand what he's talking about

[harsh quartz]

Oh yeah if it wasn’t expensive it would be great, but it’s incredibly expensive for how not useful it is

[polar fern]

i’m glad we agree that you have no argument so therefore your resorting to whataboutisms. Have a lovely evening.

[full fossil]

$2 and I can;t even replace my banner.

[vapid zephyr]

Since when can you circumvent nitro to use nitro features with a 'nitroblocker', like his issue is with adblockers

[harsh quartz]

Both of y’all being dumb as hell

[lilac bear]

but global emotes, 50mb limit, and 2 super reacts a week

all I'd really want

[harsh quartz]

Global emotes is all I would want for super cheap and I would be down

[polar fern]

I cannot pay for things that are a monthly recurring bill with my payment method from disability income. It’s not allowed. I have to buy myself gift cards to do anything and I can’t use PayPal or any other workarounds. But it’s cool. Just assume that $2 is somehow available even if the person has the money they don’t really have the money because they can’t use their payment method.. hence you are using your privilege of being able to select whatever payment method suits your situation, whereas I and other people in my situation cannot

[vapid smelt]

just get a part time job then

[full fossil]

That would make too much sense.

[polar fern]

I really love that I have to explain this like every other week because people don’t understand what disability and being caught in the middle of national politics & poverty actually is.

[manic torrent]

"just" get more money

[polar fern]

JFC.

[harsh quartz]

Aight, but is saying “it’s a no brainer” for us in our situation doesn’t make us privileged, it makes us able to pay for something we want

[polar fern]

It is a privilege to be able to do that

[full fossil]

Oh and please realize that the world does not revolve around you.

Calling it 'privilege' wouldn't do anything, to be honest.

[vapid smelt]

the majority of my coworkers at my old job where on disability and where on the autism spectrum

[harsh quartz]

Yes, but so is almost everything, calling it privileged in a mocking tone is just starting an argument for no reason

[polar fern]

again, the fact that I have to explain any of this means that people are blinded or fenced in from seeing the other parts of the world, and the other lives of other people by their privilege

There’s no tone, that’s all on you

[harsh quartz]

No, there’s a tone

[polar fern]

Again, that’s on you

[full fossil]

Calling us privileged wouldn't make us stop using those methods.

[lilac bear]

it's also like
if you want to support the company to begin with

[harsh quartz]

Saying that an average person paying for a reasonably priced service is “privilege” is just insulting them for no reason

[polar fern]

It’s white text on a black background if you’re seeing “tone” then I would see a doctor

[lilac bear]

he said with heavy tone

[harsh quartz]

It’s called connotation and if your pretending that words don’t convey connotations then your the one that needs a doctor mate

[manic torrent]

see this feels like you're being deliberately obtuse, my man.

[polar fern]

Again, that is all on your end

[vapid zephyr]

'Nothing is my fault, all is your fault'

[manic torrent]

somehow, even when you are right and/or have a valid point, you seem to express it in a way that makes it unrelatable

[harsh quartz]

“My words have no connotation even when they’re given full context”

[vapid zephyr]

'Due to genuinely unfortunate circumstances and weird laws I can't afford shit so everyone else is privileged'

[polar fern]

My tone of voice is primarily very flat and monotone that’s just who I am, and the attitude behind the words is also very flat and monotone because I don’t get worked up about stupid things to the point where I take things personally. I am simply pointing out a fact and the fact that you have a problem with that tells me a lot about you.

[manic torrent]

this is technically true

[carmine light]

Not ate a bear but we caught a couple racoons and even a skunk. Set em free up in the hills.

[manic torrent]

that's not how human communicate

[lilac bear]

thats kinda the definition to a degree

[harsh quartz]

Its true but going around being pissed about it is a really not great way to see the world

[carmine light]

I got a cool video of the skunk. He didn't even try to spray us. Lil dude rode in the back of the van for like half an hour. He was super chill

[vapid zephyr]

The point is that pointing it out and crying about it isn't gonna make shit better now is it

[manic torrent]

on the contrary, being pissed about it is compulsory. Whatever is happening here is .. something else

[lilac bear]

life uhhh finds a way

[harsh quartz]

Okay, being pissed at us is not helpful :p

[manic torrent]

yes, that 🙂

[polar fern]

now, all of a sudden I have some sort of emotional attachment to the discord server … k

[pliant karma]

when game makes you update gpu drivers before it can even launch though tbf Forza Motorsports early access just released sooo

[manic torrent]

again, that's literally how humans work.

[lilac bear]

AI confirmed

[polar fern]

Software. @pliant karma

[calm swan]

i heard you cant upgrade cars using credits now?

[harsh quartz]

You don’t have to have an attachment to the server to have a tone in your words

[vapid zephyr]

You can't just assume someone is human in 2023 bud, what if he is an apache battle helicopter

[pliant karma]

who knows I like driving stock cars ironically 80% of the time

[vapid smelt]

[harsh quartz]

Clearly apaches attack helicopters have more emotions than this person

What’s the opposite of an empath?

[manic torrent]

Assuming someone can easily find work that suits them and works for them is not really ok either

[polar fern]

Dear @vapid smelt I am disabled unable to work, but thank you very much for telling me things I’ve known for at least 15 years

[carmine light]

[calm swan]

i upgrade the shit out of my cars in fh4 (except for a few)

[carmine light]

[lilac bear]

unsure if trans slur or just having a shit post

[manic torrent]

hahahaa. narcissists have emotions, just for themselves though 😄

[vapid zephyr]

Opposite of empathy? Heartlessness ig

[worldly copper]

Ayyy tech bros what up

[harsh quartz]

The second word is psychopath

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, the word you're looking for is probably callousness

[harsh quartz]

The fuck is tech?

[polar fern]

@vapid zephyr opposite of empathy is apathy

[lilac bear]

yeah apathy

wooo

Realistically, the majority of people are empathetic, even if they act like they aren't or display the opposite. People are just good at acting "tuff" when they're emotionally immature.

[pliant karma]

nice I sorta like open world racing with horizion but much prefer track racing since I've sorta seen enough videos to memorize the layouts of many of the tracks irl

[faint pond]

hi

[polar fern]

Ahoy

[vapid zephyr]

I'm kinda sad because my butcher stopped selling marinated steaks for the year because grilling season is kinda over

[polar fern]

Sadge

[faint pond]

how did you get that bread roll icon?

[carmine light]

You can always marinate the steaks yourself.

[polar fern]

You had to be here

[harsh quartz]

Bake the bread rolls

[faint pond]

?

Fighting the insurgents with loaves

[calm swan]

fh4 fun with friends, but i kinda wanna try this new motorsport game

[vapid zephyr]

That'd require minimal effort, which I don't want to do

[full fossil]

See? That would make too much sense!

[calm swan]

from the bakery

at whole foods

[vapid zephyr]

In the end you don't know his circumstances, so talking about this like that do be kinda fucked up ngl

[carmine light]

Whole foods sells their pizza dough balls for like $2.50 a pop. It's great if you wanna make pizza at home.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but we’re not the ones that keep bringing it up

[vapid zephyr]

It was a meme role, you can't get it anymore

[vapid zephyr]

Ignore it then ig

[harsh quartz]

It’s definitely not a meme

[polar fern]

Hole foods, food for the food hole in your face? 🤔

my fully blind neighbor works at jetblue my local Costco greeter is wheelchair bound with other issues, the thrift store i worked at had mentally challanged people, there is even icecream shop thats employees all have down syndrome

[calm swan]

fr? ive gotta buy it next time i go there

[lilac bear]

[manic torrent]

my son has down syndrome and his lazy ass just stays at home all the time

[polar fern]

I remember when whole foods was full of hippy dippy upper middle class folks. Now it’s just a bunch of people who want a quick grab & go meal & fancy cheese

[vapid smelt]

isnt he a toy chef

[full fossil]

An employee on my local apple store is legally blind.

And he worked just fine.

[vapid zephyr]

That..

I don't think you can compare that with what they brought up as an example chief

[harsh quartz]

I would be too if I had to work on macs all day

[vapid zephyr]

No way you just compared that

[full fossil]

i slept for 18 hours since we didnt know my thydroid was off great times

[wind pulsar]

I'd say you're better at gold digging for attention

[harsh quartz]

I slept for 18 hours, one for each Benadryl I took

[polar fern]

Thyroid need iodine.

[vapid zephyr]

Oh damn

[lilac bear]

oh shit

[polar fern]

Wow, I literally unblocked you a month ago and now you start with this shit okay bye

Hmmm

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, that shit was whack, I was expecting something bombtastic
(For clarification to anyone except Coopa because he knows, I'm Japanese myself)

[calm swan]

💀

[polar fern]

Very tempted to buy that for my Lenovo, but it has to come with a low profile bracket or else it won’t work

[lilac bear]

a second comment has crashed into the feels

[manic torrent]

it would still work

[vapid zephyr]

Now Transit is back to talking to himself again since social interaction apparently means blocking literally anyone

[polar fern]

No, I’m back to talking about things I wanna fucking talking about instead of dealing with peoples personal bullshit and their agendas against other people on a fucking discord server

[harsh quartz]

Aight don’t keep the shit going

[polar fern]

Holy shit, using Discord for something I actually want to use it for what am I thinking?

[manic torrent]

again, humans.

[vapid smelt]

thats why my pills wont work

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, it's truly interesting

[harsh quartz]

Which pills?

[calm swan]

goddamn it thats why i feel shittier every year

[harsh quartz]

No that’s just aging

[vapid zephyr]

There have been times where he's been talking to himself for like half an hour while people were talking about something entirely different, similarly to Dimmski

[polar fern]

And holy shit, talking about a graphics card in a computer tech discord. Wow, so unusual and strange

[harsh quartz]

And? Just leav em be

It’s better than attacking people

[vapid zephyr]

???

What are you talking about, I didn't attack anyone

[harsh quartz]

Oo, those don’t work for me and knock me the fuck our

[harsh quartz]

No I mean let him mumble on for hours, it’s better than him attacking people

[calm swan]

[lilac bear]

I was enjoying Starfield then facking pronounds ruined it!!!

[calm swan]

costco pills i love those

[jaunty compass]

random stupid question
I found a gaming laptop on msi's website that is really tempting

should I buy it

[vapid smelt]

i take medical methylphenidate so i dont get as drowsy

[vapid zephyr]

He usually doesn't attack people either way, so that's not different

[jaunty compass]

it's $800 when normally it's $1500 and the specs are actually good

it's last gen but I don't really play super new stuff anyway

[calm swan]

would see if theres any hinge issues

[chrome vector]

https://tenor.com/view/doug-dimmadon-fairly-oddparent-deal-gif-9684451

[vapid zephyr]

Oof, a laptop with an AMD mobile GPU, I have like zero clue about those kek

[lilac bear]

theres a reason it is half off and that is because MSI is shit at laptops unless you get the top end models

[harsh quartz]

Claritin and off rand claritin is the only stuff that works for my allergies and doesn’t make me drowsy

[calm swan]

msi laptops used to have hella hinge issues

[full fossil]

AWAYS THE DAMN HINGES

[harsh quartz]

This is debatable

[polar fern]

@jaunty compass looks good

[jaunty compass]

I'd think it's half off because it's old stock they're getting rid of

[calm swan]

6800m basically a 3080m in raster, 6700s and 6800s are 100-110w 3060m but more vram

7600s is strange

it performs like a 3070ti in some games and like a 4060 in others

[lilac bear]

thats probably the case
but don't expect it to be worth $1500

[jaunty compass]

I'm just expecting it to be worth more than $800 given the current gen $800 laptops lol

[lilac bear]

actually not wrong there

[calm swan]

check reddit for hinge failures

or hinge problems

[jaunty compass]

yeah lol

[polar fern]

It’s a good deal for the specs.

[calm swan]

not sure if msi really fixed that (i think they did with 2023 tho)

[calm swan]

cant argue with that

never seen a 6700m tho lol

[jaunty compass]

I'm not seeing anything about it really

which is probably a good thing lol

[calm swan]

oh nice

if no hinge issues then buy

[jaunty compass]

yeah, I'm gonna buy it and sell my current laptop

[full fossil]

pls dont use it in your bed

[jaunty compass]

my current laptop doesn't have enough ram to do what i want to do on it anyway

i didn't realize my current laptop used soldered on ram

[calm swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O7jsZLBgbs

[polar fern]

I would recommend a vented laptop stand with that thing.

[full fossil]

yeah it probably heats like hell

[jaunty compass]

oh shit it's aluminum

[polar fern]

👀

[full fossil]

the body?

[jaunty compass]

yeah

I thought it was plastic

I'm gonna buy it lol

[lilac bear]

should make the typing experience better

[jaunty compass]

I'll buy it tomorrow

[polar fern]

Nice

[jaunty compass]

$800 for a decently speced 15" gaming laptop with an alumium body and 240hz display is really good

[polar fern]

Mhm.

sometimes you just stumble onto those good deals at a good time - it’s a good feeling

[lilac bear]

part of me wonders how clear the 240hz is, or if it's just overclocked panel

from base price being $1500

granted it would be smooth anyway

[polar fern]

My two Msi optix are 144 hz but I set them to 120 hz. I am guessing you should also be able to do this with that machine to avoid shortening the lifespan if it is overclocked.

[jaunty compass]

mhm

I just hope they don't get bought up from me bringing it up lmao

[calm swan]

wait damn

[full fossil]

yeah

[polar fern]

Techmoan effect

I think that I am going to install the two new fans and the fan controller tomorrow. First time doing this .. should be fun and interesting.

This will also give me a chance to do cable management, so the inside of the case does not look like a spaghetti factory exploded

[prime solstice]

i got one with a 3050 its pretty good

[jaunty compass]

the 6700m is slightly faster than the 3070 laptop model at 85w

about 10%

[polar fern]

Little bit spaghett

[calm swan]

my friend has a ge76 raider with an 11800h and 3060 and its crap

bad hinge and build quality

[polar fern]

That reminds me of all of the titanium powerbook hinges I used to repair back in the day

Some company had stainless steel hinge replacements that were painted to match the titanium hinge.

[full fossil]

ow

[lilac bear]

and more misinformation to follow

[full fossil]

not even a psu tray to hide the cables

[lilac bear]

get like a thinkpad instead

[full fossil]

that's gonna be hard

[polar fern]

A fan is going to go there on the bottom for air circulation

And one on the back to match pressure

[full fossil]

dont say that

[polar fern]

New processor also arriving next week

[full fossil]

that's evil

[pliant karma]

@calm swan 👀 so far so good fps not so great so I am messing around with it to get 60

at least 60

[lilac bear]

ah sorry I meant Acer

[polar fern]

Which gpu?

[pliant karma]

3070

vram really going to town

[calm swan]

the ui looks so different to me lmao

[calm swan]

welp

its wraps my 6g 3060m aint surviving

unless i make it look worse

[pliant karma]

lol yea in the race menu is totally differnt from FH

[calm swan]

yeah wow that mustang looks so nice

[full fossil]

i hate that games are all having that boring UI

[calm swan]

fh4 s tier ui

[wraith compass]

me with mustard and ketchup cables because old psu

[calm swan]

fh3 also had a nice ui (which loaded faster)

[full fossil]

i hated fh5 ui

[calm swan]

yeah it was mid

fh3 had an amazing ui asw

it was simple but hella responsive and fast

not slow(er) like fh4

[manic torrent]

those menus are consoles fault.

[full fossil]

are they though

[jaunty compass]

if the laptop sucks, it has a 30 day return window so it's fine

[manic torrent]

yes

[full fossil]

strange

[jaunty compass]

just get the cheapest herman miller you can tbh

it's an investment into your spine

[calm swan]

fh4 menu slow on my laptop asw

fh3 menu is snappy on my xbox one 💀

[warm mesa]

i'm a student bro i'm broke

[harsh quartz]

Cheapest Herman miller is an oxymoron

[manic torrent]

hardly, consoles required a fundamentally different approach, games started being on all platforms, console approach works ok enough on pc, boom, everything gets console menus

[calm swan]

eh works fine

[full fossil]

do they have to be so flat tho

[calm swan]

its just i wish fh4 menu was faster

its so slow on my xbox and laptop 💀

[harsh quartz]

Get better Xbox

[calm swan]

nah screw console now

i have a laptop anyways 🤷‍♂️

[harsh quartz]

Get a better PlayStation

[calm swan]

nah

[full fossil]

get a

[calm swan]

switch2

[harsh quartz]

Get

[full fossil]

dreamcast

[harsh quartz]

Get a roku

[calm swan]

i have flycast

[lilac bear]

Stadia 2

[calm swan]

tried sonic adventure for a record breaking 15 min

[full fossil]

wii u 2

[calm swan]

speaking of bintendo

nnid is going away next march

no more mk7 online on my 3ds wo/ downloading something like riivolution

which sucks

[full fossil]

i wonder what the switch 2 looks like

and if it will be worth

[harsh quartz]

Will it be a ripoff? Yes. Will everyone buy it? Yes

[calm swan]

and bintendo is patching homebrew stuff

[calm swan]

eh ill buy nintendo but only cuz mario 🤷‍♂️

when mk9

[full fossil]

will they use a 2016 nvidia chip this time...

[calm swan]

imagine we get ada or rdna3 💀

full fat x86 chip in it

z1 extreme like the ally

[harsh quartz]

They’ll use 2 of them and call it good enough

Apple style

[full fossil]

lol

[calm swan]

as long as mario kart runs and looks fine idrc

[full fossil]

honestly i could see something like that being a thing

[calm swan]

but pokemon and totk are laggy

on switch

[full fossil]

yea

[polar fern]

Bintendo?

[harsh quartz]

Laggy is being generous

[full fossil]

they were pushing the edge already

[calm swan]

i played a bit of violet and god it was pretty laggy

[lilac bear]

pokemon is just skill issue on devs

[calm swan]

skill issue on nintendo

[lilac bear]

TOTK? fair enough

[calm swan]

old ass hardware m8

we need a fkn 7840u in the switch2

or an 8g2

[lilac bear]

but have you seen the graphics for pokemon
no way it needs a better CPU

[polar fern]

Do a barrel roll?

[harsh quartz]

Those god damn trees

[full fossil]

do you think it will look the same as the switch though

[calm swan]

maybe

[full fossil]

it wont change

like iphone style

[polar fern]

Most of those games frame rate issue is not because of the characters it’s because of the map around them, but I’ve never touched a Pokémon game so I’m not sure about those ones

[harsh quartz]

They won’t put in a cooling solution and it’ll just throttle

[lilac bear]

some of the most basic designs for a 3D game and yet somehow it needs a 4090 to run

[calm swan]

they have pokemon that are just there in the fields

like the anime

its not like the old games where you have to walk in the bush to find pokemon

[lilac bear]

it's very much a skill issue on pokemon devs

[calm swan]

its just there

[harsh quartz]

This image was a bad omen

[calm swan]

also im pretty sure violet is proper open world idk

the fuckin pokemon center stations killin my fps

[lilac bear]

it became real life

[full fossil]

oh yeah they use pngs for trees far away

[calm swan]

lol

[full fossil]

no joke

[lilac bear]

with no doubt that it probably just needs optimization

[calm swan]

i havent touched the game since like feb

so maybe its better?

[harsh quartz]

I played the game day one and wasn’t impressed, graphics aren’t the only issues with the new Pokémon’s

[calm swan]

8g2 on switch when :\

[chrome vector]

Yay for the cops being at my work rn over some bullshit while I'm having lunch.

[harsh quartz]

Skill issue

[full fossil]

what did u expect though

[lilac bear]

doubt it's that much better

probably rushing the next game right now

[harsh quartz]

Idk, gen 3-5 quality?

[calm swan]

giant L

i havent finished moon either

[lilac bear]

why are you defending one of the worst graphics on a AAA game

[calm swan]

i gave up on mallows trial cuz of the fuckin beam thing

[harsh quartz]

Moon was good but ultra moon was way better

[lilac bear]

ultra moon is much better yeah

[calm swan]

restarted, got to the same place

gave up

[harsh quartz]

What beam thing

[calm swan]

i forgot

some pokemon that like shoots a laser beam into you

[harsh quartz]

?

[calm swan]

solar beam

prolly just gonna play the recent pokemon games one day

[harsh quartz]

Oh, foamantis, just take a fire or flying type my man

[calm swan]

i have x and moon (havent touched x)

need to buy ultra moon and sword/shield

[harsh quartz]

X and y are shit, they’re easily the most forgettable ones

Sword shield are also pretty bad

[calm swan]

tried with the cat one

littens evolution

[calm swan]

ironic since xy anime was probably the best

[harsh quartz]

Ngl, if you can’t beat moon then you definitely can’t beat ultra moon, it’s the same game with a fairly major difficulty tweak

[calm swan]

welp its wraps

[lilac bear]

this tbh

[calm swan]

time to grind moon 🫡

[calm swan]

xyz was peak peak

[harsh quartz]

Z?

[calm swan]

zygarde

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but there was never a z

[calm swan]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_the_Series:_XYZ

[lilac bear]

yeah thats the anime

[calm swan]

peak season

[harsh quartz]

The fuck?

That’s dumb

[calm swan]

nah

[lilac bear]

nah

[harsh quartz]

Yeah

[calm swan]

xy and xyz are actually good

like better than sun and moon bs

and journeys

[harsh quartz]

I’m not saying they aren’t in just saying that’s a dumb name

[calm swan]

makes sense if you watch it

but yeah dumb if youve only played the game

[harsh quartz]

I understand why it’s called that, it makes sense, it’s just dumb

[calm swan]

peak season tho

went downhill from there

no clue what the new show is like

[harsh quartz]

Not as good as the original

And the movies were always better than the show

[calm swan]

the old ones*

[vapid zephyr]

The anime was supposed to the 'Z' of the series

[lilac bear]

haven't seen the newer movies

[calm swan]

the new ones were kinda mid im ngl

[harsh quartz]

Yeah who watches the new movies

[vapid zephyr]

lots of people

Those are almost always sold out kek

[harsh quartz]

Sounds like a then problem

[lilac bear]

^^ it's still a big IP

[full fossil]

like 8 people

[lilac bear]

though I did watch that live action pokemon movie

[calm swan]

that was nice

[harsh quartz]

The new mewtwo strikes back is bad

[vapid zephyr]

Not many people did, live-action movies of an anime almost never do particularly well

[calm swan]

detective pikachu?

[harsh quartz]

Detective pikachu was good

[calm swan]

didnt it do well?

i thought it was pretty good ngl

[vapid zephyr]

That's unfortunately one of the few exceptions

[harsh quartz]

It did and as far as I was aware most people liked it

[vapid zephyr]

For some reason I personally hate it

[calm swan]

new one piece show (ik not a movie) is also good apparently

[lilac bear]

it was a good movie though for what you would expect yeah

[vapid zephyr]

I can't stand the fact that a yellow shitrat has a deeper voice than me

[calm swan]

Avatar 2 The Way of Water made so much more!!! reee

[calm swan]

avatar lowk boring

i watched like an hour and a half of it and gave up

too long

[lilac bear]

I like how thats a whole ass regular movie length

[calm swan]

the movie was three hours

it was slow

same with oppenheimer (altho this makes more sense cause its historical nd shit)

[lilac bear]

yeah oppenheimer was more on the dialogue

I low key hate whenever something happens and everyone rushes to recreate it

mario movie must mean a smash bros universe!!

[vapid cypress]

[calm swan]

thank god apple did something right with the app2

If it wasn't for that sound I would've had to go home without earbuds

i bet your parents love you

[vapid cypress]

They do

[lilac bear]

amazing

[vapid smelt]

i bet you live in the mud

[carmine light]

lol ikr? The older guy like it, he was just tired. The younger lady was legit terrified lol. I don't blame her. I remember my parents showing me Wizard of Oz at like 3-4 years old and I was terrified

different movie/vibe but similarly terrifying stuff for a lil kid I think

I'll give it a few years I think

[vapid smelt]

your making your kids weebs?! im calling child protective services

[carmine light]

Lol hey man it's Studio Ghibli. It's like the Disney of Anime

[calm swan]

spirited away w

for some reason i havent watched it

[carmine light]

It's amazing, but not as exciting as like, Howl's Moving Castle

[lilac bear]

I hate the dumb ass takes it is forever engrained into my brain whenever I hear that studio

[carmine light]

they got one or two darker flicks, but everything I've shown them has been nothing worse than like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

and that bitch was living with Seven dudes

[thin fjord]

yall know of any good spaces to buy replacement parts for laptops

[calm swan]

ebay

oem sites, ifixit

[manic torrent]

www.replacementpartsforlaptops.com

[calm swan]

goddamnit

[carmine light]

Download more RAM

[lilac bear]

nah it's the "I made Studio Ghibli clip into 120FPS" takes

[carmine light]

Lol who does that!? Why would they even wanna do that?

Frame interpolation is cool and all, but like...in the right context

Just slapping it on well crafted and highly skilled animation is like...digitally scanning the Mona Lisa and calling it "better"

[lilac bear]

that is essentially what was done

I think it was a precursor to AI

with it's "I used this program and made something better than the source"

[carmine light]

ngl I did it with Topaz Ai on a scene or two from that same movie, just to see what it's like, but honestly it didn't do much, and it didn't look "better". Just different

[prime solstice]

I saw robocop when I was 4 I enjoyed it

[lilac bear]

interesting, they usually look mushy because it was done poorly

[carmine light]

Same here man. It's weird because action movies like Robocop, Terminator, etc...never scared me as a kid, but The Wizard of Oz? Fucking terrified me

[carmine light]

Idk what they used. I was using Topaz Ai and it's not like magic, but it's pretty neat. Still wouldn't use it on well crafted animation tho probs

[vapid smelt]

Jurassic park scared me as a child

[prime solstice]

I liked the wizard of oz

[carmine light]

I liked it later. As a kid tho, the flying monkey scene gave me nightmares

[prime solstice]

I don’t remember that scene

[carmine light]

Where the Wicked Witch sends her weird flying monkeys to kidnap them

[prime solstice]

It’s been a long time since I seen that movie

I don’t remember

[carmine light]

This is a lil test/experiment I did using Topaz Ai's frame interpolation. It took what you see on the left, which is a series of still images, and made what you see on the right. It's kind of a useless scenario there, but a pretty neat example of what it can do.

I'd consider that an "ideal" scenario though, being computer graphics. It's not as good with actual real life video, but it's still pretty incredible.

[elfin jetty]

Found some old ltt stickers laying around

Decided they should have a home

[carmine light]

What is your desktop background? It looks cool af. Is that what I see in the reflection?

It looks like a black hole in the middle of a dance floor

[carmine light]

Oh sweet

What's that from?

[elfin jetty]

it was something i found just searching black hole into google

[carmine light]

Nice! That's awesome

[lilac bear]

yeah that is much more of a ideal use case
but definitely pretty cool, making him feel more animated in live time

[carmine light]

Yeah I could see some cool uses for it, but I can't really think of much practical use if your video is already stable. I've used it to make neat gifs and stuff out of family pics.

[elfin jetty]

also were you one of the people i was talking to about the 3080ti?

I cant remember

[carmine light]

Nah not me. I have a 2080 Super. I wanna upgrade soon.

[elfin jetty]

ah fair, what are you looking at?

[carmine light]

Oh wait yeah you just got that 3080Ti right?

[elfin jetty]

I think I'm in love with this card lol

[manic torrent]

3080ti is perfection in 2023. Good 4K perfomance, not outrageoulsy expensive.

I got mine in January, been loving it.

[elfin jetty]

its gorgeous, it stays quiet, and it doesnt even go above 71c

[manic torrent]

mine is entirely silent

[carmine light]

It is so tempting. If I upgrade, it'll probably be to a 40 series just to utilize frame gen so I'll probably wait till the next gen drops. I know I know it's "fake frames" and all.

[elfin jetty]

Definitely gonna be buying from zotac again

[tepid jasper]

from what ive seen locally theyre not that much cheaper than a 3090, so ymmv

just depends where u live ig

[manic torrent]

If you can find a 3090, but the reality for almost everything is the difference between a 3080ti and a 3090 in games is SFA

[elfin jetty]

yea, i jumped on a 500 dollar 3080 ti cause it was cheaper than what i paid for my 3060ti, even though its used it literally looks brand new

[carmine light]

But also, I'm broke lol, so the waiting on the next gen is just a cope really.

[vapid smelt]

Your Mom May Vacate

[tepid jasper]

[carmine light]

See that's what I keep thinking man. I bought this 2080 super for like $600 and now I'm seeing shit way better for cheaper! It eats me up inside 😭

[vapid cypress]

I use that everyday

[manic torrent]

I paid $1500 AUD for my 3070 EKWB, I mined about $500 on it, I sold it for $500. I also sold the 1660 Super I had before it for $500.
I got the 3080ti for $700 (all in AUD)

[elfin jetty]

I paid around 600usd for my 3060ti over a year ago

[carmine light]

Well at least I'm not alone lol.

[manic torrent]

so it all balances out in the end

[carmine light]

And hey, it's served me well and is still pumping out frames

[carmine light]

The saddest part about that gif is it's not far off from how I look irl 😭

[elfin jetty]

I'm gonna be building a pc for a friend for their birthday, they're gonna be getting the 3060ti in it

[carmine light]

There's only so many configurations possibile for "bald white dude with glasses"

[vapid cypress]

You are vin diesel

[carmine light]

More like Vin Four Cylinder.

I'm sorry that's a terrible joke

[vapid cypress]

I'm sure a car guy wouldve laughed

[manic torrent]

Except that you can have a four cylinder diesel.

[carmine light]

God dammit

[manic torrent]

No, a car guy knows the joke doesn't make sense.

diesel is a type of fuel/combustion, not an engine configuration.

[vapid cypress]

I'm not a car guy I wouldnt know

[manic torrent]

I am though

[vapid cypress]

Then laugh

[carmine light]

Vin 2 stroke?

[vapid cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-gun-threat-point-gun-oh-no-gif-21611767

[manic torrent]

[manic torrent]

[carmine light]

Vin Economy class

[manic torrent]

[vapid cypress]

It's not a request it's an order 😡

[vapid cypress]

[opal thunder]

[manic torrent]

I am probably the engineering guy. I mean I like cars, but eh. I'm not an engineer, but I do play one on TV.

[calm swan]

vin gasoline

[carmine light]

Look man, it's hard to make a name that's basically a p*rn star name already sound more ridiculous. Gimme a break here!

[calm swan]

vin goddamn it gas is so damn expensive

[carmine light]

Lol

[vapid cypress]

Forza is not real? 🥹

[opal thunder]

Real

[manic torrent]

vin electric

[calm swan]

[opal thunder]

Wake up wake up wake up

[carmine light]

Vin Electric was my first thought, but tbh that sounds cool to me

[manic torrent]

you say this like you haven't absolutely smashed electric cars in forza, because I know you have

[carmine light]

Vin Diesel? More like Vin Weasel. Ayyyy I got it!

[vapid cypress]

[calm swan]

ive crashed the tesla in fh3 lmao

[vapid cypress]

That will teach elon

[calm swan]

[carmine light]

I used to have a pet ferret named Steve. He was albino. He was cool af. I got him used and he was all old and shit but he was super chill, especially for a ferret.

[vapid cypress]

To not mess with us 😤

Gamers

[carmine light]

RIP Steve

[calm swan]

itll teach california not to implement a dumb law 😡

[vapid cypress]

That's dope

[carmine light]

Can Teslas use full self driving in that game?

[calm swan]

no

[carmine light]

Damn that'd be funny

[calm swan]

it does 0-60 zoom zoom then takes a nap

[vapid cypress]

Does beam ng have tesla?

[manic torrent]

Vin Cheezel

[calm swan]

never played it but prolly

[vapid cypress]

"Man that sucker guzzles 5 liters of melted cheddar cheese" - a car guy

[carmine light]

Now we're getting into Pauly Shore territory, with the names lol

Vin Cheeeezel buuuuudy

[carmine light]

https://tenor.com/view/paulie-gif-21272785

[calm swan]

lol

[carmine light]

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a game that used their legit self driving tech in the game. Like they got it licensed and everything so it worked like the real cars do

probably would never happen, but it'd be neat

[manic torrent]

uhhh

[vapid cypress]

Pull a world of tanks moment

[carmine light]

lol

[manic torrent]

you mean war thunder

[vapid cypress]

Yeah 🤓the war game

[carmine light]

I still can't believe that shit happened

[manic torrent]

... it KEEPS happening.

[vapid smelt]

only over 12 times

[carmine light]

I know! It's hilarious. Like damn keep your guys off the internet

[manic torrent]

which guys, it has happened for everywhere

[carmine light]

Ye. It was all in relation to tanks tho right? Like how classified/cutting edge can that tech be?

[vapid cypress]

Very

I'm guessing

[carmine light]

I've never been in an M1 Abrahms but my bro used to be in the military and I got to ride in a Bradley

was pretty neat

[manic torrent]

no, it was in relation to various different military tech

some of it was about ordinance.

[carmine light]

Damn that's just dumb on their part. I know a few peeps in the military, but one guy I know works in explosive ordinance for the Air Force and he's straight up told me "I can't talk about that" before.

Like damn it's not hard to stfu lol

[manic torrent]

yes, but you see the game was wrong and they can prove it.

because the penetrating power of the AFDHS round is X, as clearly stated in this top secret document.

[carmine light]

He did tell me a cool story tho about how some of the bombs they send out have no "fuse", ordinance or anything. They're dummy bombs that are used to target specific people in sensitive areas. Basically they just drop a big chunk of metal on a dude from 30,000 feet up lol

[opal thunder]

lol

[manic torrent]

sometimes kinetic energy is all you need. Although the JDAM these days is so reliable and simple and actually quite accurate that you end up using it for almost anything

oh, also CHEAP

[vapid cypress]

Props to that one juice maker that doesn't add apple juice and calls wild berry juice with like 1% of the drink is actual berries

[manic torrent]

(and by cheap, I mean relatively)

[low rain]

My dad has been working at a hospital for over 30 years and his dad lore goes crazy

[vapid cypress]

He murders lots of people

[carmine light]

I bet. My Step-dad was an ER nurse for like 35 years before he retired and he's got some bonkers ass stories

[vapid cypress]

None of our family is that gifted

[carmine light]

but tbh most of it just comes back to drugs. Lots of drugs

and it's effects

drugs and stuff stuck in people's butts

or drugs stuck in people's butts
