The right ones lol

What's the craziest story you've heard from him?

[vapid cypress]

Yeah like ibuprofen when the headache

Man I woke up like 10 times today

I had a nightmawe too

Now i feel tired

[carmine light]

did you fall asleep 9 times or 11?

[vapid cypress]

Who knows at this point

I was rolling back in forth for no reason

Restless sleeping

Just happens like once a year

[carmine light]

I'm just fucking around, I hate that shit. I normally sleep like a log, but restless sleep sucks

[opal thunder]

ong

[vapid cypress]

Fr

[carmine light]

I also got sleep apnea I think too tho, so I often wake up feeling like I didn't sleep a wink, even if I "slept" through the night

[past egret]

introducing polyphasic sleep, sleep more by sleeping less

[low rain]

Honestly there’s a story that some lady wanted them to pour food on her arm and she was making death threats

[vapid cypress]

The only time I felt like sleeping was when the alarm rang

[hoary nest]

Anyone alive here

[vapid cypress]

Nah I'm dead

[hoary nest]

Sick me too

[carmine light]

We're all dead down here

[vapid cypress]

Yep

[hoary nest]

Tech chats are dead tn

[vapid cypress]

They feel asleep

Unlike me!

[hoary nest]

I hate that some people sleep at night

[carmine light]

Well tbf it's like midnight on a Thursday

[vapid cypress]

Yeah they should just invent the sleep cure

[hoary nest]

I don’t work Fridays

[vapid cypress]

This sleep disease is getting out of hand

[hoary nest]

Sleep really cuts into cyberpunk time

[carmine light]

Honestly, if they could reliably do that without terrible side effects I'd do it. I've always hated getting to sleep

but like, once I'm asleep...I don't wanna wake up lol

[hoary nest]

I can’t sleep until it’s time to not sleep

[carmine light]

You guys get vivid dreams?

[vapid cypress]

Yeah thats like wanting summer in winter and winter in summer basically

[vapid cypress]

Like what

[carmine light]

Nothing in particular, just vivid and memorable. My dreams are always nuts.

[manic torrent]

I mean, it's not like you get to choose....

[vapid cypress]

I mean I had like recurring dream of a black tornado in my childhood home

[manic torrent]

going to sleep is easy: you just pretend you're already asleep.

[vapid cypress]

Is this a metaphor for my parents breaking up

🥹

[manic torrent]

yes, lie down on the couch

[carmine light]

I just can't shut my brain off a lot of times

[vapid cypress]

Thank you doctor Bob 🥹

[carmine light]

I've never really had a recurring dream. I just get weird and vivid ones. Like whacko shit. I dreamt an Alien race came down to earth in a planet shaped spaceship and granted humanity the gift of eternal life and the power of flight once.

And if I make myself go back to sleep, I can often continue the same dream

[manic torrent]

See, I had ADHD, and for me that means I don't so much go to sleep as pass out. I just close my eyes and BANG, sleep.

I literally had a 20 minute nap on the couch today

[carmine light]

Brains are cool af yo

I wish I could take naps. I'm either out for 6-12 hours or up for 24-48 lol

[vapid cypress]

My dreams aren't crazy like that

Well maybe one or two

[carmine light]

It's not as cool as it sounds. They're often nonsensical as shit and weird af. Like I creep myself out lol

[vapid cypress]

Like getting chased by a killer through a mall

Then I woke up and I tried going back to sleep to beat him up

[carmine light]

What's hilarious is my actual "nightmares" are usually about totally mundane shit, like my car breaking down on the way to work

[vapid cypress]

Like gain those consciousness powers

[vapid cypress]

Lmaoo

[manic torrent]

Lucid Dreaming.

My brain isn't worried about that shit because it knows how fucking awesome I am.

[vapid cypress]

Yeah I never had one in my life

[carmine light]

Ikr? but in the nightmare, it's terrifying lol. Then I wake up and I'm like "damn bro you can find a ride to work chill".

[vapid cypress]

Oh yeah I remember when I lost all my teeth in the dream and then when I woke up I was really glad I had them

[manic torrent]

My car blew up, so I called off work and went and bought a new one

[carmine light]

You know, you just reminded me when I was a kid I did used to have a recurring nightmare, and it was always that I was driving a car by myself. No adults around lol. As a kid that was scary af

[tidal minnow]

Morning

[carmine light]

Nice. Hey what is defined as a lucid dream? I've only ever had one dream where I realized I was dreaming within the dream, but then I woke up.

[vapid cypress]

Actually I had a nightmare that I was being chased by the same black tornado and I was driving a car lol

[manic torrent]

realising you're in a dream basically.

[carmine light]

Good morning my dude

[carmine light]

So it's a thing! I think I had the recurring car one only because my dad used to let me steer the car around in the yard as a kid. I think he thought I was having fun, but as a kid it scared the shit outta me lol. I was just too timid to say anything.

[vapid cypress]

I would probably destroy the entire dream universe if I was ever unleashed in the dream

[carmine light]

Morpheus would be after yo ass.

Y'all ever read The Sandman comics?

Great series. Written by Niel Gaiman

[vapid cypress]

Lol

[vapid cypress]

Don't read comics

[manic torrent]

or the TV series.....

[carmine light]

Man, I don't really either, but a friend introduced me to these and they are insanely good

only comic series I've ever really read

[carmine light]

And yeah the Netflix series does a damn good job. The only thing I'll say is the comic is like 100% creepier and has more of a horror vibe

I loved the show tho

[elfin jetty]

Have you seen invincible?

[carmine light]

Only the first season, or first and second? I can't remember because it's been so long

Did the new one drop yet?

Loved that show tho

[elfin jetty]

No not yet, I just thought it would be something ya like lol

[carmine light]

Hell yeah I dug it hard. I wonder what's taken them so long with the new season? Like, don't get me wrong I don't wanna rush them. It just seems like it's been a while.

But I guess Covid, then the writers strike...etc.

[elfin jetty]

honestly no clue, I hope they come out soon ish at least

yea thats true

if you like invincible ya might like the boys too

[carmine light]

Oh dang, looks like they had a "special" that dropped in July

Invincible: Atom Eve

I'm lookin at Wikipedia

[elfin jetty]

wait fr? i'ma have to watch it

[carmine light]

Ye seems so. Sounds dope

Also:

The first half of the second season is expected to premiere on November 3, 2023, with the latter half set to debut in early 2024

Nice

[vapid cypress]

Invincible was really good

Season 2 is coming this year

[carmine light]

I gotta catch up on that one. I haven't seen anything since season 2, but it's kinda one of those shows I'm letting marinate so I can binge lol

[vapid cypress]

Yeah the boys is really good too

It's like super over the top

In terms of heroes

[carmine light]

Ye, and tbh I can watch Karl Urban do anything. Like he could read the back of a cereal box and I'd be entertained lol

That Judge Dredd movie he was in a few years ago is a cult classic imo

the VFX are incredible in that flick, as is their respect for the source material

Well I gotta peace out you guys ✌️

Y'all have a good night/morning/what have you

[vapid cypress]

You too

[elfin jetty]

honestly same, I usually wait till the whole season is out

Oh,D4 is on steam now

Is Epic only compaditor to steam now?

[fierce moth]

Probs

Well only the major one

You do have the small pos launchers from ubisoft, ea, ect

[tired glade]

Vavle still has good failt right now, but for how long

All small launcher is just log in confirmation tools at this point

Even bnet

[fierce moth]

What pisses me off is that I need it in addition to having steam

I'm looking at you paradox launcher

[vapid zephyr]

Has been like that for ages

[fierce moth]

And numerous others

[tired glade]

Epic isn't that old

Oh, right,gog,but that mainly for old games

[vapid zephyr]

You've been done goofed if you thought Ubisofts Launcher or GoG posed any competition to Steam, EGS is the only one that managed to bruteforce it's way in

[fierce moth]

Egs only became big because of free games

Change my mind

[vapid zephyr]

100%, which is why I said that they bruteforced themselves in

Their launcher still loses them money

[tired glade]

From publishing perspective, Steam overblown,so Epic still better platform, especially when you indi

But you have more chances to get on popular stream if you on steam

[fierce moth]

I still found it goofy when epic snatched up ff7 remakes exclusivity for a bit

[tired glade]

Ff7 wasn't that big of deal,in the end

[manic torrent]

By spending literally millions and millions of dollars. It's a long term investment/play

[manic torrent]

So what you're saying is it worked.

[fierce moth]

Essentially

https://youtube.com/shorts/kN0DxEj5WMI

Jeff geerling is best

[vapid zephyr]

Saying it like that plays it down tbh

They spent literal hundreds of millions to get this done, it's insane

[manic torrent]

Yeah

It's Real Money

Like it's not something a medium size company could possibly do.

But .... egs is now on millions of PCs, and there's enough of an established library and backlog on them that it is going to remain a startup item and a top tier game store.

Egs/Xbox store/steam

And Xbox store is mainly because of game pass

I do

Because it's extremely difficult and expensive and would have basically no benefit. Wtf would it do.

[fierce moth]

Exactly

Almost nothing other than Sony will support it

As we already have Windows and their bullshit

And Linux is a better alternative than Sony could ever build

Maybe a Sony Linux skin, but not a brand new os

[manic torrent]

Meh I use windows for gaming

[fierce moth]

I just use arch

archinstall makes it dead simple to install

[silk island]

why did you think they were talking about the non GPU? They did mention 1060 beforehand lol

(also what even is the 6600 in non GPU terms? lol)

[opal thunder]

6th gen intel cpu

👴

[silk island]

ohhh

[soft swan]

how bad is it on a scale of 1-10

[soft swan]

4th gen on top

[tender wyvern]

It’s Micheal Jordan’s head on top of a monkeys body so I’d say it’s quite bad

All I wanted was mrbeast 😔

[silk island]

that’s due to nvidia

nvidia drivers are very awkward and wonky on Linux

[calm swan]

the one from jjk

[slim creek]

reddit sucks anyway

[tired glade]

So,4090 you say

[jaunty compass]

no, $800 MSI laptop actually

the msi delta amd advantage edition is $800 down from like $1300

https://us-store.msi.com/Delta-15-A5EFK-097

[tired glade]

Not bad

[jaunty compass]

i say from like 1300 because i saw it for that much not on sale elsewhere even though msi says 1500

[tired glade]

Rdna3 was just announced and releasing by end of the month, maybe that why sale

[jaunty compass]

it's on sale because it's like 1 and a half year old/2 year old stock

[tired glade]

Oh, that also

[jaunty compass]

it just so happens though that gpu generations have lengthened substantially so it's only 1 generation old gpu wise

[tired glade]

Fsr3 released, that also can give good boost

[full fossil]

i dont think this is worth the price really

you could look at hp's victus laptops, other than the hinge problems its fine

[slim creek]

still needs to be worked on

[jaunty compass]

it has an aluminum body, a 6700m, ryzen 7 5800h, 240hz display with 100% srgb coverage, and 16 gigs of ram

and it's $800

[full fossil]

was normally 1300

or did i saw wrong

[tired glade]

It's free tech, in end of the day

[jaunty compass]

yeah but it's not $1300 right now, it's $800 right now

[full fossil]

well let me look at computers around that price brb

[jaunty compass]

you won't find anything better turst me

[full fossil]

im not saying i will lol

[jaunty compass]

the 6700m performs around the same as a mobile 3070 for reference

[full fossil]

i am just trying to help out

[jaunty compass]

if you do find something better let me know

[full fossil]

aight

[jaunty compass]

$800 is just really good for those specs that's why i'm actually considering it even though I don't like gaming laptops

my current laptop just doesn't have enough ram for what I need it to do lol

[full fossil]

well you could buy it if you like the design and everything lol

[jaunty compass]

I don't dislike the design and the specs are very compelling

it's not overly gamery, it's pretty plain and looks fine

[full fossil]

then go for it lol

even though the specs could be improved a bit if you dont like the design then why not go for that

it really depends on the user lol, aka you

well yeah you were also right, i could only find a cpu difference

other than that specs are gud lol

[jaunty compass]

there are marginally better cpus on newer laptops like the 12th gen intel or 13th gen intel ones but like.....a gpu that fast on a $800 laptop isn't something you find rn

the 6700m is roughly equal to like a 3070 mobile

[full fossil]

if you are not going to do heavy gaming then it will go just fine

well nvidia's dlss helps sometimes that could be the only difference really

wait no

[slim creek]

i thought the 6700xt was

[full fossil]

yeah 6700m is not that strong

i mean if i looked is true

[jaunty compass]

I'll be using fsr in those cases anyway

[full fossil]

weird, it has many statistics around

[slim creek]

fsr hurts my eyes

[full fossil]

well overall it will be fine prolly

if you are not planning to plant million tnt's in minecraft

[jaunty compass]

in games they're neck and neck typically

[jaunty compass]

don't know why it would hurt your eyes

[slim creek]

not visually

[jaunty compass]

I was talking about the 3070m and the 6700m

not fsr and dlss

none of the games I actually play even support dlss anyway so it's not something I super care about when I won't really use it

[slim creek]

have we reached the physical limit on how small a transistor can be yet

[echo canopy]

Close to.

Electrons like do do this funny troll called quantum tunneling

[echo canopy]

Electric blanket. They only use around 100 watts which is in spec for USB PD

[jaunty compass]

Nice silicon wall you have there, would be a shame if I phased through it

[lapis solstice]

Tsmc has 3nm process, that's like 12 silicon atoms in a line. So when does quantum tunneling takes effect

[echo canopy]

A node nm literally means fucking nothing

[lapis solstice]

?

[echo canopy]

TSMC “7nm” is actually close to 50 in transistor width

It’s marketing and nothing else

[lapis solstice]

Oh so 3nm means the transistor is not 3nm in size?

[jaunty compass]

On the actual scale of transistor sizes it becomes a major issue at 1-4nm

[echo canopy]

3nm is a marketing scheme like intel i3/i5/i7

[jaunty compass]

But the nanometer in nodes doesn't actually mean nanometers it's basically a marketing term at this point

[jaunty compass]

This basically ^

Because transistors aren't flat anymore lmao

[echo canopy]

#finfet

Or whatever TSMC uses now

[pseudo mesa]

Wait tranisisters aren't flat?
Never were.

[echo canopy]

Yes but actually no

[full fossil]

[echo canopy]

[topaz crag]

Heh?

[full fossil]

i guess now

not*

[echo canopy]

He responded with that image really quickly to you saying bread

[full fossil]

i know i saw it was almost instant

[topaz crag]

[echo canopy]

I’m also glad the last 30 messages or so has proven pfp stereotypes

[lapis solstice]

So the dimensions of a transistor in "3nm" process is 5nm wide and 10nm long(according to bard), does that mean transistors are almost flat? And 3nm is entirely marketing gimmick?

[echo canopy]

Closer to like 20. Density also varys

[echo canopy]

Iirc they are more like a rectangle.

I wouldn’t trust bard either

Arguably one of the most important factors is how close transistors can be together and how thin the wire is on a specific node. TSMC N3 can only get transistors about 45nm close from center to center

The actual size of each transistor varies

To clarify they are 3D

Not perfectly flat

is a 550w bronze psu good enough for a 4070 + 12600k

i think 650w is recommended for a 4070 but reddit says otherwise

[visual fern]

650 doesnt cost much more than 550 just go for it

[rotund wraith]

its a bit annoying to swap out a whole PSU when my system doesnt need the upgrade so badly

i have a rx 6600 rn

GUYS OMG

[vapid cypress]

Yeah

[tired glade]

Technically you fine

[visual fern]

sorry i thought you were getting a new system

all goodf

[polar fern]

Mmm, donuts

[harsh quartz]

donuts?

[polar fern]

@rotund wraith I think I remember you asking this earlier or yesterday, but the response is the same at least from me. It depends on what the rest of your system is doing not just the processor and the graphics card.

[rotund wraith]

technically? so if i undervolt or

[tired glade]

You in range if electric spike range of 4070, even tho it very rare

[polar fern]

if you have a lot of USB stuff going on and a lot of sata & bus powered pcie stuff going on, you will need that higher power supply for sure

[tired glade]

If you won't render on that GPU,you will be fine

[polar fern]

It’s good to have overhead, so you don’t stress out the power supply

Bronze one is 82-84%, right?

Just make sure you have good ventilation for that power supply

There's something I've noticed

[rotund wraith]

i have an external hdd

[stoic scarab]

In the 2nd season of secret shopper, Linus said "at this point origin should just tell people that if they only have 1500 USD they're at the wrong address"

That surely aged well

[polar fern]

🤣

[stoic scarab]

Because they actually followed through on that

[tired glade]

Wasn't second season 3 years ago?

[stoic scarab]

Yes

I'm still sad that this season does not Feature any of AMDs newest gen hardware

[tired glade]

2020 1500$ isn't 2023 1500$

[polar fern]

There’s this whole pandemic thing but you know

[stoic scarab]

Season 1 had Ryzen. Season 2 had Ryzen and the 5700xt

Season 3 has both but not AM5 and not RDNA3

HP had a 5800x and Starforge a 6750xt

[polar fern]

Am5 systems gonna be $$$$

[tired glade]

Isn't newest hardware on that list is 4060?

[stoic scarab]

Whereas With everyone else we have intergenerational hardware

[tired glade]

Not even single ddr5 systems

[stoic scarab]

We got 30 and 40 series Nvidia
DDR 4 and 5 systems

[elfin jetty]

what is up my guys and gals and nonbinary pals?

[stoic scarab]

And 12th and 13th gen intel

[polar fern]

they’re shopping based on a budget, not based on the hardware.

[stoic scarab]

Damn sure one of them was DDR5

[tired glade]

Let's wait for second episode

[polar fern]

Pretty sure there’s three parts right?

[stoic scarab]

They're shopping whatever is sold to them for their budget. Cyberpower sold them that 4060 PC because it just so happened to be the daily deal close to their budget

[tired glade]

If it same as last time

[polar fern]

Well, that’s how things happen.

[stoic scarab]

They didn't explain anything, they just said "hey there's a deal for a system right at your budget"

[polar fern]

Not everything is going to be MSRP

[tired glade]

And even shipping and taxes not included

[polar fern]

What did you want them to explain?

[stoic scarab]

I wonder if cyberpower would've actually done anything if that system wasn't there

[rotund wraith]

is a 4070 the furthest gpu i can push a 550w psu

[polar fern]

Well, there could’ve been another one

[stoic scarab]

That is legitimate though, shipping and taxes are different based on US state and Canadian province so they wanted the reference value for everyone

[tired glade]

That why we have law to be included in sticker price

[stoic scarab]

I like the fact that some SIs actually considered this factor but they should've responded with "my budget is with all of that in mind"

Because obviously they're gonna get worse systems recommended to them compared to those that don't care

And just offered them systems that are right at budget

[stoic scarab]

Same here

And it's 20%

[stoic scarab]

No there was a DDR5 system

[tired glade]

One or two?

Oh, right,no single 5800x3d system

[stoic scarab]

Cyberpower had DDR5

[tired glade]

Support call will be interesting

[stoic scarab]

iBuyPower has it too

Just wasn't sure at first since it seemed a bit vague for which system they actually went with

[tired glade]

When is next episode, tomorrow or day after?

Customer support is category,so until 3 episode nothing decided

[gilded quest]

I assume we get secret shopper next 2 sundays

Maybe next 3 sundays

[tired glade]

2 days

[stoic scarab]

It was usually always on Sunday

Even with the previous seasons

[stoic scarab]

Three if we go the usual schedule
We already had the order experience episode
Next one will be unboxing
Then support
Then the benchmark/final

[gilded quest]

Unboxing is the filler episode

[stoic scarab]

I like it

I'm especially hyped for this one because unlike the last where it was just different tiers of the same line

We got so much intergenerational hardware

[jaunty compass]

I bought the MSI laptop, if it's terrible I'll just return it

[tidal minnow]

Gaming pc wars animated series when

[elfin jetty]

they arent terrible. just make sure yours comes with an ssd and not an hdd like the one i had came with

[jaunty compass]

It's this one

[elfin jetty]

thats sexy, specs?

[jaunty compass]

It has a 1 TB nvme ssd, it used to be 1300 but it's on sale for $800

It has a ryzen 7 5800h, RX 6700m, 16 GB of upgradable ddr4, a 240 hertz 1080p IPS display with 97% srgb coverage which is fine

An 82 watt hour battery and an aluminum chassis

It's the msi Delta 15

I have a 30-day return window so after it gets here if it completely sucks I'll just return it

Ideally that doesn't happen but if it does it's whatever

Seemed pretty good compared to the alternatives which were mostly plasticky even though a lot of them had pretty similar performance

It also has two m.2 slots on the board which is nice

[hot tide]

cs2 has the csgo icon in minimized downloads

[jaunty compass]

understandable

the oleophobic coating has probably worn away

the vast majority yes

any reputable ones

rubbing alcohol can wear it down if you used something like that

abrasive cleaners also strip the coating

just replace the protector if it's too bad

are you sure you're not just very oily

then it's probably a coating issue, just get a new protector; they're not very expensive

[stoic scarab]

Ahh those are their AMD models

[visual fern]

[jaunty compass]

yeah there was a pretty good sale

[stoic scarab]

[tender pilot]

Just broke my HyperX Flight headset. Whats the go-to headset at the moment? I'm not an audiophile nor do I voice chat a lot. Just want something wireless, decent, and comfortable. Or should I just replace them

[sturdy temple]

do you want wireless or wired?

and do you prefer a brand?

also: how did your headset break?

[jaunty compass]

Lmao

[tender pilot]

dropped it off the back of my chair. The plastic snapped below the adjustment and right earphone is hanging and twirling. Doesn't give a tight fit. I have no brand preference. I do prefer wireless though

[sturdy temple]

the hyperx cloud 2 or 3 (II or III) wireless versions are cool. they have a metal . . . the thingy on top that broke on yours. it's metal and can't really break. though they are around the 100€ mark. maybe a bit over

but really good quality and they seal quite well, even if they don't have ANC

[tender pilot]

I think I had the cloud 2 wired before these. Maybe the first model. I do enjoy the comfort of them. Thanks

[rotund wraith]

how much are u willing to spend

[sturdy temple]

=^.^=

[rotund wraith]

best headset on the market is the Audzure Maxwells

[sturdy temple]

i personally use the corsair virtuoso, though those go for double the price. but the mic is the best i've had on a headset ever

[rotund wraith]

but thats 350$

[tender pilot]

Ideally around $60 right now, but I could push it to $100. I don't really care about high quality audio, as long as its not noticeably trash. Like I said, I hardly ever use the mic either.

[rotund wraith]

anything from a noteable brand would be fine tbh

[sturdy temple]

on the clouds you can just unplug the mic, if you don't use it

[echo canopy]

headsets are going to get you less for your money besides maybe battery life.

[tender pilot]

How about just some headphones? I honestly haven't used my mic in like a year. If I do ever need one again I may just buy a standalone

[sturdy temple]

i don't know about regular headphones that much. i work in a store in the gaming department. i actually do work with and sell gaming headphones 🙂

[echo canopy]

probably the best idea. most wireless headphone mics suck ass due to the bandwidth limitations of bluetooth and just being shit for a mic in general

altho im not sure if you can get one without a mic anymore

[rotund wraith]

keep it wired with that price point

[sturdy temple]

^ very yes!

i think the cheapest wireless/bluetooth headset around that price point would be the logitech G435
but they are . . . cheap

[rotund wraith]

they are cheap and bad

when a wireless headset dips below 100$, then the only expensive part is the wireless bit

build quality, sound quality and over quality quality is cheaped out on

[sturdy temple]

i also have a question. maybe you guys can help me 🙂

[full fossil]

why not use a wired mic then

[echo canopy]

what?

[jaunty compass]

Don't ask to ask, just ask

I do it too sometimes

[sturdy temple]

i now have 2 sets of additional bits for THE SCREWDRIVER™
i looked on amazon for something to put the bits in, because the carboard-thingies they come in are kindof a pain to keep the bits sorted. because once you pull one out, the other ones slide together.
i got a set of those hard-rubber bit holder thingies from amazon, but they are really bad. the bits slie fully through the hole and are super hard to pull out, because the holes are sort of tight.

is there a product you guys can recommend that is well suited to sort and organize the bits?

i also probably gonna buy the other bit sets too in the long run

[graceful burrow]

Buy a 3d printer and make your own ez

[sturdy temple]

but i suck at motivation 😦

[graceful burrow]

I mean, can't help you there

[echo canopy]

what "THE SCREWDRIVER"?

[sturdy temple]

the ltt screwdriver

[echo canopy]

oh

I dont understand screwdrivers, would rather use a ratchet wrench with a neck

[sturdy temple]

we are on the LTT discord. what did you expect? 😛

[echo canopy]

It was a bit confusing because i thought you stored the bits it came with in the handle

[graceful burrow]

Blind fanboyism is cringe

[echo canopy]

what prompted you to say that

[graceful burrow]

The last thing zigcat said

[sturdy temple]

it does, but there is space for 12, and i got another 24 to put some place

[echo canopy]

wrong reply i assume

[graceful burrow]

Pocket
Baggie
You already got my answer

[sturdy temple]

true, but you know what i mean

[sturdy temple]

i really don't want to be rude, but you are kinda not helping

Call a mod if you feel I'm breaking a rule

[sturdy temple]

you're not wrong . . .

[echo canopy]

based

[stoic scarab]

The fun thing is to my knowledge, XPS' are productivity machines not gaming machines

If you look at the newest XPS desktops those things really look like regular office machines

[echo canopy]

i would love to see ltt make a ratchet wrench. there is a lot of unknown good ones but have fatal flaws or just dogshit like snap ons

[stoic scarab]

The design is rather sleek I must admit

But like they definitely have an office look through and through

[jaunty compass]

I like the XPS designs but I don't buy dells

[stoic scarab]

You could say dell is selling sleeper builds

[jaunty compass]

I'm a fan of the grey box style of pc

It's just they don't make good cases in that style

[echo canopy]

the cooler master nr200p is a grey box

[stoic scarab]

Idk man I like the design of the new XPS machines

[grim marten]

New chair

[stoic scarab]

However, I'm someone that loves to exhibit his machine at his desk as an art piece

[jaunty compass]

I actually used that case for a client build once

[stoic scarab]

And thus those cases are nothing for me

[jaunty compass]

Somewhat recently actually, it had a 7900 XT and an i5 13400f

[stoic scarab]

Which is funny because my case is actually also a productivity themed case

[jaunty compass]

It's not my kind of thing but it's a pretty nice case

[echo canopy]

weird AF combo but based

getting the mobo in the MAX version of it was a fucking nightmare

[stoic scarab]

Idk how that is considered weird

Just a GPU minmax

I assume a pure 1440p gaming box

Maybe for lan events?

[echo canopy]

ultra details and no consideration for high FPS

[stoic scarab]

Again, I like my cases big because I hate cable managing

And big cases just make it easier to stuff cables in without it looking absolutely bloated

So I ended up getting the one case I once used to severely despise

[echo canopy]

i dont care if it looks good im not loooking at it

[stoic scarab]

...a Meshify

[jaunty compass]

Yeah

His budget was like $1600 and he just games

[stoic scarab]

7900xt sounds weird though, isn't that card horrible value?

I mean so do I, I don't stream or edit

Well I do some light video editing, but like I make memes that's all

[jaunty compass]

None of the better value cards he would have accepted would have been able to change the price enough to allow for a substantial upgrade in some other category

[echo canopy]

its one of the better cards looking at hardware unboxed updated results

[jaunty compass]

So the 7900 XT ended up being the choice

[stoic scarab]

I see

[jaunty compass]

It does run games really well though

[stoic scarab]

I mean yeah a 7900xt is still a great card, it certainly is better than what I have

[echo canopy]

its also team red. fuck nvidia

[stoic scarab]

But the truth is, my card is also better than what I need

I'm bottlenecking it with my resolution

[jaunty compass]

In terms of multicore workloads the e-cores actually do help quite a bit

[stoic scarab]

That's nice

[echo canopy]

yeah but for pretty shittily optimized games and a max clock of 4.6ghz its not gonna push that 7900xt to its limits in more esports games

[jaunty compass]

I'm pretty sure all he uses them for is CPU encoded streaming though

[stoic scarab]

But since I'm still mainly a gamer (god I hate calling myself that) I went the X3D route

[echo canopy]

probably not fast enough.

[stoic scarab]

As far as my 2 desktops are concerned I'm currently all team red

[echo canopy]

well... according to OBS but thats OBS issues

[stoic scarab]

My laptop has an Nvidia card though

[jaunty compass]

I've heard nothing but good things about the build from him since I built it so I don't think i can fault it

[stoic scarab]

That's nice

I wonder if he has high idle power draw issues like I do

[echo canopy]

I mean it obviouslly serves one purpose and probably does it very well.

[stoic scarab]

I thought that was a 7900xtx problem but nope, it apparently affects ALL RDNA3 cards

[echo canopy]

its the flaw of chiplet. ryzen 7k has around 15 watt idle draw doing nothing.

[jaunty compass]

Yeah, all he really does is play games and do school work, the computer is good enough for basically anything he'd really do

I'm pretty sure the most intensive thing he does is host a Minecraft server and play Minecraft while running shaders at the same time

I'll have to ask

[stoic scarab]

OH YEAH

[jaunty compass]

I think I have the parts list in my Newegg though

[stoic scarab]

I should test Minecraft with my new card

[jaunty compass]

In my previous orders

[stoic scarab]

I have yet to

I have all my builds listed on PCPartPicker

[echo canopy]

seus ptgi @ 1440 144hz on a 6950xt

[jaunty compass]

I'm partial to sildurs vibrant shaders personally

[stoic scarab]

I even set all the prices to what I bought the parts for

[stoic scarab]

Well I personally prefer BSL

[echo canopy]

i daily BSL shaders simply because i like them asthetically

still get like 300 fps with BSL

[fresh nymph]

where is the memes page

[stoic scarab]

I run 1080p144hz with a now 7800xt

Just came in yesterday

[jaunty compass]

Path tracing shaders are more realistic but I think sildur's vibrant has a much more cozy and beautiful look

[stoic scarab]

7800xt for 1080p

[jaunty compass]

my personal rig only has a 6600 xt for 1440p lol but most games run fine

[echo canopy]

I dont like the look of path traced anything really. just mentioning it because its one of the more intense shaders

going for hyper realism just triggers uncany vally or just makes the bad parts look worse

[jaunty compass]

i took a look, the build had an i5 13400f, 32 gigs of ddr4 4000, a sapphire pulse 7900 xt, a pny cs1030 2tb, a corsair rm750e, and an asrock b760m pro wifi

and just a random jonsbo air cooler because it was fine

[echo canopy]

honestly wished i got 64 GB of ram

pushing the economical limits of mini ITX tho

[jaunty compass]

I'm using a weird mini dtx motherboard

[stoic scarab]

I have 64GB

It's really overkill

[echo canopy]

wanna trade? its ddr5

[stoic scarab]

If I had DDR5 I'd honestly do 48

[stoic scarab]

Hahaha, if there's a way we could make it work with a 5800x3d

[echo canopy]

same, zen 4

[quiet mural]

not for my use case

I have 64gb DDR5

[echo canopy]

Is it was possible to replace the coax to my Verizon DVR’s with lan. There’s a lan port on the back. Would I need MoCA adapters for the dvr’s or can I plug in the lan directly?

[stoic scarab]

Is Gentoo arch based?

I thought it was RPM based

[echo canopy]

no, just that gentoo "gatekeeps" more

gentoo uses its own everything

[stoic scarab]

I see, I said Arch because you said aur

I personally prefer Arch, btw

But I use endeavorOS because it's Arch without the headache of setting it up from scratch

[echo canopy]

archinstall

[lilac bear]

sudo apt install Arch

[stoic scarab]

Archinstall is still too complicated for me

[vestal totem]

[echo canopy]

after installing arch like 15 time i dont give a shit

[gilded forge]

discord can be laggy as hell at 90Hz

[lilac bear]

you can buy two RTX 4090s for that

[tired glade]

It's on expansive side, but it can be worth it

[visual fern]

im in highschool

[echo canopy]

then put it into saving instead

[tired glade]

Or for university

[visual fern]

[echo canopy]

waste a few months pay on a stupid 2 week trip when you could invest in something that will last a life time

(normal) traveling is fucking stupid

If it just south Italy,it won't be that great in spring

[tidal minnow]

Invest in ryzen 5 2400g

2 months later you'll receive a 4090 from all that interest.

(How banks think we'll see savings accountz)

[echo canopy]

if you keep putting money into it yeah

a lot of people cant even save up money

[stoic scarab]

I'm saving up!

I put a side a whole 70€ this month!

[echo canopy]

nice

[stoic scarab]

No, 80€ actually!

[gentle venture]

gonna try an get a part time job and buy myself sum stuff

[stoic scarab]

See next month I wanna add 100€ to that

And get a new GPU

180€

I'm hoping to get a 2070 super with that money

[echo canopy]

what? you have a 7000 gpu dont you?

[stoic scarab]

7800xt yes

But that's my main rig

My secondary only has an RX 580

[crystal flare]

anyone remember when world of warcraft was the top game for multiple years, until minecraft came around?

[echo canopy]

why do you have two?

[stoic scarab]

Because we have a house in the Hungarian countryside and my secondary is there

It has a 3700x, 24GB RAM (one of the 8GB sticks died) and the RX 580

I mainly built it with the parts I upgraded from in my main rig

Get Bluetooth modual for 4 controller for party games on that PC

[silk island]

damn the AMD Linux drivers in Mesa are that good now?

[dreamy thorn]

you should see my linkedin

[dreamy thorn]

they have been that way for at least 5 years, mesa has always outperformed amdgpu-pro on opengl

in fact, iirc the new amd opengl drivers are based on mesa but don't @ me on that

i believe radv was developed before amd open sourced amdvlk, so it had a sizeable head start

[silk island]

I just saw the benchmarks on phoronix and as of December the windows driver overall outperformed the Linux drivers

https://www.phoronix.com/review/radeon2022-windows-linux

[dreamy thorn]

it's case by case, on native vulkan titles radv does outperform amdvlk

Why sacrifice a gamecube to do that

[vapid smelt]

becuase a wii is a better gamecube

[fierce moth]

But does the wii have the gameboy player?

[vapid smelt]

i dont think so

but does the gamecube have a wii player?

[fierce moth]

I mean

Theoretically it would be possible

As a wii is just an updated gamecube

But with significant hardware modifications

Mainly to do with wii specific functionality

Cause an actual wii will refuse to boot without wifi/Bluetooth and a couple of other chips (without software modification)

[sleek plume]

is this official? https://www.amazon.com/s?me=A2Y23KYE4NAGGJ&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER

[vapid smelt]

your not the real skeletor

[sleek plume]

yes i am bruh

[lethal jay]

I doubt it

the seller has non-ltt cable ties

wait nvm, different seller

amazon's website sucks

[lethal jay]

You would think that clicking on the seller's name would bring you to a page of just stuff the seller is selling

[gleaming harbor]

the white wii can play gamecube
the family edition cannot even the wii mini

[fierce moth]

i know

i literally own the console

[gleaming harbor]

man how am i gonna play mk8 on the wii u
i am not gonna pay for switch online

[fierce moth]

family edition, and wii mini can play gc games

but only with homebrew

[vapid smelt]

your saying only the white one is privileged enough to have both

[fierce moth]

family edition even has the pads for the gc ports lol

so assuming you can source the ports you can install them youself

[gleaming harbor]

if i have the wii mini on hand can the "gamecube usb thing that comes with the super smash bros ultimate edition and the wii u one edition" work

[fierce moth]

probs not

only wii u and switch had the drivers

[lethal jay]

Still have old Wii with 2 controllers kicking about. Need to get 2 more controllors and 3 motion sensors tho, then its party time. Oh I guess I need friends for that too. Shit

[sleek plume]

the seller is lttstore and the same adress and ltt

people might be able to forge that, idk

[calm swan]

you can via homebrew

on the family edition its the same perf as on the og wii

not sure abt the mini

With that much effort why not just emulate it with a pc?

can you even do that?

[calm swan]

ya with dolphin

How y’all doin tonight

[gilded forge]

the Wii has like 20 different ways to homebrew. I'm sure the mini has an exploit considering it couldn't ever have any updates whatsoever.

[calm swan]

[calm swan]

oh nvm you can its native

[gilded forge]

the basic platform/architecture is the same, but the ports were removed. there's still TECHNICALLY a compatibility layer for GCN games, but can't be accessed.

[full fossil]

its fun

[calm swan]

you can thru nintendont (hb)

you need adapters for the controller tho

[gilded forge]

I meant it can't be accessed without modding the Wii.

[calm swan]

yeah

but modding the wii is so easy

like insanely easy

[full fossil]

and a wii costs as a banana pack

[gilded forge]

I modded it in like an hour (most of that time was troubleshooting my SD card bc it kept defaulting to NTFS)

[stoic scarab]

The Wii mini has an SD card slot?

That's new to me

[calm swan]

it took me like 10 min

via dns method

[stoic scarab]

I hacked my Wii using letterbomb before the DNS method was even available

[full fossil]

i forgot the wii mini existed

[stoic scarab]

When my uncle gave me his old one I also hacked it that way even though the DNS method had already been around

[calm swan]

i did letterbomb at first

[full fossil]

so strange

[stoic scarab]

I just preferred the letterbomb way

[calm swan]

didnt work so i did dns

dns was way faster and doesnt require a pc

[stoic scarab]

I like have a black RVL-001 wii

Meaning I still had the GameCube ports

So I play GameCube on it sometimes

[full fossil]

mine also have the GameCube ports

i still have skylanders

like the portal thing too

[calm swan]

same

[full fossil]

its an eyesore

[pale stump]

Instead of having a GC wii just get a GC and a Wii U. Problem solved

[sick coral]

what a good search engine apple has for apple music

[calm swan]

gc wiis are cheap

like $50

[pale stump]

But having both is the best of all worlds

[calm swan]

wii u is expensive

[prime solstice]

It doesn’t but you can mod it to have one

[pale stump]

Hell just a modded Wii U can play all nintendo consoles before it

[calm swan]

true

but wii us are expensive

[stoic scarab]

Well here's how I use it

[fierce moth]

A modded wii u can use nintendont lol

[prime solstice]

Since when did I mod a wii u (ik you’re not specifically talking about me)

[gilded forge]

apple music has been behind on almost everything since inception. before this year, it never had a liked songs feature.

[prime solstice]

I still have my wii u

[pale stump]

Better than buying all of the consoles.

[calm swan]

i emulate wii u

native gc and wii

[prime solstice]

It’s better with the wii u

[pale stump]

3ds and wii u were my first consoles respectively. It's incredibly sad to see them go but I know it's inevitable

[prime solstice]

Cause you can play wii u with a wii u

[calm swan]

for the gamepad?

[stoic scarab]

I have my Wiis to play my Wii games, my game cube games and my N64 games

I have my New 3DS XL to play my 3DS, NDS, GBA, GBC, GB, SNES, NES and MD games

I use emulators for Wii U and switch

[gilded forge]

how young are you?

[calm swan]

3ds was nice, i still have mine

[prime solstice]

No cause you can emulate a wii u with a wii u

[calm swan]

i have my wii asw

[fierce moth]

Playing with original hardware always felt right to me

[calm swan]

yeah same

[pale stump]

So piracy?

[prime solstice]

I mostly grew up with a 360 then the nes

[fierce moth]

As your playing it how the developers intended

[calm swan]

except i dont emulate switch

[prime solstice]

No just a wii u

[calm swan]

scott the woz said the exact same thing lmao

[gilded forge]

I play 3DS on 3DS. but all my DS games I play on my modded DSi. DS games don't look very good on the 3DS compared to the DSi.

[fierce moth]

Heck I have a CRT for my old consoles for this reason

[calm swan]

i need pretendo now

[prime solstice]

I have so many ds and gameboys

[vapid smelt]

do you also play older pc games on windows 7 with a gtx 580?

[calm swan]

nnid is going away

[stoic scarab]

I think what they mean is the Wii U literally has a Wii emulator built into it

Called the Wii Virtual Console

[fierce moth]

This is a separate discussion

[prime solstice]

No I use windows 7 with a 3050 so I can play max payne with 150 fps

[gilded forge]

no you can actually emulate Wii U on Wii U

[prime solstice]

Yes

[prime solstice]

Correct

[fierce moth]

[pale stump]

If yall wanna emulate that's cool and if you want the OG hardware that's cool, but playing on the OG hardware will always have a better feel because it was the devs original intention

[fierce moth]

I don't follow

[prime solstice]

A Wii u can emulate a wii u a wii can emulate a wii a GameCube can emulate the GameCube and the n64 can emulate the n64

[calm swan]

at the end of the day its a box running games

just buy an official controller

you get that "feel"

[gilded forge]

exactly. the only exception I will make to this is the OUYA.

[hearty spear]

Zekrom, go check TT... I want to die a little

[pale stump]

That doesn't work for wii u but i get what you mean

[calm swan]

except 3ds and ds actually

[prime solstice]

Well why can’t I emulate a ouya

[gilded forge]

also if you're emulation DS on anything other than. phone, you won't have fun.

[pale stump]

Because it sucked

[calm swan]

^

[vapid smelt]

thats what folding phones are made for ds emulators

[prime solstice]

But I can emulate tiger electronic games

[fierce moth]

Although I'm not as picky when it comes to displays

[fierce moth]

Modern hdmi mods make it so much better

[prime solstice]

As much as I don’t want one I kinda want one

[prime solstice]

Easier hdmi mod is soldering the hdmi cable to the console

[fierce moth]

I know a couple of people who are extremely picky and demands component out on crts

[pale stump]

Then idk

[hearty spear]

I did mod my GBA to have a backlit screen and a new case. it was a bit beat up previously

[gilded forge]

wow 4.0

[fierce moth]

Nice

I just ordered a new amp for my gba

[hearty spear]

mmmmmm, amp

[prime solstice]

Will my guitar amp work with my gba

[gilded forge]

3.5 is still decent for what a failure it was

[hearty spear]

Want me to make you a little jealous?

[fierce moth]

Sure ig

[prime solstice]

Yeah

[hearty spear]

I Have the GBA Card Reader, and nearly all the card sets they released for it

[gilded forge]

eReader

[fierce moth]

Nah you would wanna use a pam8302

[fierce moth]

Wow nice, I don't think they released here in Australia

[hearty spear]

a guitar pumps waaaay more power than a gba, don't mix that stuff

[prime solstice]

Dang I didn’t know the ouya had this many releases

[fierce moth]

A pam8302 can take 2-5 volts in

So this is perfect for a gba

[prime solstice]

But my guitar amp can take 200 volts

[fierce moth]

And quite frankly the entire gameboy line
