[vapid smelt]

Once it becomes a spicy pillow

[full fossil]

Like I have a laptop with a fucked battery, but it just never gets unplugged so it doesn't matter

[tepid dagger]

if I keep it plugged in while at home will that improve the battery life? @full fossil

[full fossil]

yeah my thinkpad battery is getting pretty bad . i paid next to nothing for it , so i have been tempted to get a replacement

even if its basically my stardew valley bedroom machine

[tepid dagger]

but if I use it plugged in it will reduce the improve the overall battery life?

I mean while I'm at home

[fickle hornet]

they should make a page where you can show your setup

Why do you like bad coffee lol

[full fossil]

idk cuase im sad

[harsh quartz]

Not all canned coffee is bad

[echo canopy]

Why not put that in your coffee

Ngl the Ayaneo flip looks cool

[dreamy rose]

turning a Wii U gamepad into a DS handheld PC.

[harsh quartz]

It’ll be good for DS emulation

[dreamy rose]

yeah, esp with the bottom screen beimg little ass n tiny af

[harsh quartz]

I mean yeah, that’s what the DS was

[dreamy rose]

it'd be like if the New2DSXL had a og DS touchscreen on it.

[harsh quartz]

Is that a problem?

[dreamy rose]

looks a little weird, but i don't particularly have any objections.

[harsh quartz]

I mean, It’s looks like a DS emulation machine which is what it’s meant for

It’ll depend on the price

[dreamy rose]

did they specifically mention that it was?

[harsh quartz]

With it being an ayaneo It’ll probably be ludicrously expensive for what it is and it won’t be worth it

It seems to only be leaks at the moment but it’s being called the “ayaneo flip DS”

[glossy cradle]

[dreamy rose]

well DS just stands for Dual Screen so its not a Nintendo specific name.

[harsh quartz]

No but it definitely has an implication and they know that

You can’t design something that looks exactly like a 3ds, call it a DS and not have an expectation of it being used for 3ds purposes

[dreamy rose]

i'm seeing ones with a Blackberry esque keyboard so i bet the Dual Screen is just one model.

[barren apex]

Being back the blackberry pearl with scroll ball

[dreamy rose]

well yes but its not specifically a DS Emulation device.

[harsh quartz]

No, I mean it’s a computer, you can use it as a computer, but you can also just use a normal computer for that, there is an implication of it being designed exactly like a DS

[supple pawn]

I've been wanting to get a DS and Chrono Trigger. It's a good game, as I understand.

[scarlet birch]

Yo

[supple pawn]

Ho-Ho and a bottle of rum?

In other news, it appears Starforged messed up on shipping?

[low rain]

My neighbor is trying to get my dad to retire 😭

[supple pawn]

Is that good or bad?

[low rain]

I mean rn my dad isn’t even old

[dreamy rose]

they sent a shipping bill that was 300 dollars, but the thing was they screwed up the tax prices and doubled it.

kinda disappointing they were the only system with a Radeon though.

[supple pawn]

The gpu also was ripped out of the slot if I remember?

[manic torrent]

Yes

[supple pawn]

then why is neighbor trying to get him to retire?

[manic torrent]

Because fuck working

I would retire and do cool projects full time

[supple pawn]

Btw, what happened to shipping the gpu separate from the rest of the PC?

[dreamy rose]

people buying full prebuilt PCs don't want to be jumping inside and plugging shit in to get it to start.

at most they wanna remove the packing material and thats it

[supple pawn]

Alls I'm saying is shipping the gpu separate may have saved the Starforged PC from becoming Irreparably damaged during shipping?

[dreamy rose]

when you have to specifically tell people to plug a cable into the graphics card specifically you know they DONT wanna fiddle around with plugging it in becausre they are either lazy or shit scared about fucking up something thats as simple as that.

[dreamy rose]

yes. but even though it is Logical to ship it that way not everything is done the way it should due to the average consumer.

[supple pawn]

Well I mean, it isn't logical. Preventing a minor inconvenience by risking a major inconvenience? Things like this are going to happen, it's not even an if. And now the customer has to ship it back for a warranty repair?

[dreamy rose]

i'm not sure if you've read my message wrong. but its logical to ship the GPU outside the PC and put it in on arrival, but no. it never happens because the average consumer will shit themselves doing something thats about as easy as plugging in a USB.

[supple pawn]

Oh, yeah I misread, my bad lol

[dreamy rose]

maybe some extra steps here and there but its really nothing difficult

[supple pawn]

How bad would it be to run my PC on an open air bench rather than a case?

[dreamy rose]

its not advisable but its doable.

[low rain]

Shit ig I’m getting an iPad, me and my dad were looking at Costco deals and there’s an iPad for $70 off n my dad asked me if I would want one and would use it and I said yeah

[manic torrent]

Who are you what did you do with the real BSS? This is a sensible fair take

[pliant karma]

@sweet jetty update so i scrapped one of the mini desktops lol replaced with a similar model

so all are within 2019-2021

[lilac bear]

possible to do if you know what you doing but not ideal cause stuff like the SSD can't get cooled

[manic torrent]

.... Yeah that's not an issue.

so you can run without case

Mentally he is

Anyone who makes logical arguments, so a minority of the people here

[bitter swallow]

What do you guys do when a friend is really no feeling well

[dreamy rose]

why would you give the kid an upgrade when a guy is suffering with 12 year old hardware needs it more?

[harsh quartz]

Put them down

[dreamy rose]

hardware older than the bloody kid

[vapid zephyr]

Because I don't give a fuck about you

[lilac bear]

the most logical answer

woah woah no need to get political

There really is no other option

thank goodness for taxes then

[vapid zephyr]

You're not American and you make your life suck anyway, what's the difference

[dreamy rose]

your mother

[vapid zephyr]

Told you he's mentally a kid

[harsh quartz]

We already knew that tho I just assumed they were physically one too

[rough socket]

I really don't know
He seems to have some sort of big existential crisis for some times, like some years

Work isn't going well, love life isn't going well ... Nothing is going well
To the point he wonders why he is here

And it's not some sort of kid joke or whatever

[dreamy rose]

its a quote. you'd do well to know that,

[lilac bear]

sounds like a skill issue

[harsh quartz]

So he’s depressed like every other mother fucker on this rock, sucks to suck ig

[vapid zephyr]

What the fuck are you talking about

[rough socket]

Yeah exactly

[harsh quartz]

So that sucks for him

[vapid zephyr]

Who the hell out of the 90 billion humans that have said 'your mother' before are you quoting

[harsh quartz]

I got my own depression to worry about before anyone else’s :p

[harsh quartz]

Probably that fuckin TF2 spy video

[dreamy rose]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-tf2-spy-x-family-spy-bruh-bruh-moment-gif-25527210

[harsh quartz]

Just cause it’s a quote doesn’t make it funny

[vapid zephyr]

It's not even a quote

[rough socket]

That's probably true
But having my little brother that killed himself I am super super duper lost at what to do when a friend (15yearsn friend) tells me he wants to the same

[vapid zephyr]

He acted like it's some kind of famous poem

[harsh quartz]

It is a quote, just not a good one

[vapid zephyr]

A meme is not a fucking quote

[harsh quartz]

Well sounds like you have more.experience then we do good luck

[vapid zephyr]

A quote is less braindamaged than whatever BSS is doing

[harsh quartz]

It’s quoting a meme

[dreamy rose]

its not even a meme its an actual Quote.

[vapid zephyr]

Sure, sure

Because there haven't been 117 billion people before the TF2 spy video that couldn't say 'your mother'

Some random TF2 spy says it and suddenly it's a quote

[harsh quartz]

Tbf it’s a well known meme that it is a quote from, your being needlessly obtuse here, but no it wasn’t funny

[dreamy rose]

have you literally EVER played the fucking game?

[vapid zephyr]

Unfortunately yes, not for long though since I fairly quickly switched to Gmod

[harsh quartz]

The video that the quote is from was made in gmod

[dreamy rose]

so you wouldn't remember ANY of the taunts. because you never seen them.

[vapid zephyr]

I've been out of GMOD for quite a bit now and I've been in my own bubble

[harsh quartz]

Your acting like this is new, this is a very old meme

[vapid zephyr]

Why would I remember the taunts of a game that's been irrelevant since 2015 🥱

[vapid zephyr]

Idfk, my time in the gmod scene wasn't even English, literally nobody knew that shit on my server

[dusky jacinth]

It's only irrelevant if even the content made around it by it's fandom dies, which it never has apparently.

[harsh quartz]

Tbf I have played tf2 recently and I don’t remember that shit cause it’s so outdated and the game is fucked

[dreamy rose]

thats not even true either, its constantly hit the top 10 charts for years mate

[harsh quartz]

The game is dead but the fandom isn’t, weirdly enough

[full fossil]

wdym the game is dead lol

[dusky jacinth]

Which is why it's somehow relevant. Lmao!

[harsh quartz]

Ik recently it became relevant when OW2 fucked itself and everyone went back to TF2 for a month or two but that’s seems to have passed again now

[dusky jacinth]

Usually, stuff isn't dead completely if a fandom or cult following continues forwards, producing more about it to keep it put forwards.

[full fossil]

what are you even talking about

[dusky jacinth]

Sometimes, that even brings a series back too.

[full fossil]

hi

[dreamy rose]

it's far from dead. dunno what shit you're on when 65K people are playing right now.

[harsh quartz]

I’m talking about when OW2 fucked itself and tf2 had a resurgence and is now gone again

[full fossil]

"had a resurgence"

it was aways active

[vapid zephyr]

20k people are somehow still playing Skyrim, doesn't mean it's relevant kek

Idgaf about the player numbers, cope harder

[harsh quartz]

Okay, if something’s at a baseline in the background, and then peaks and becomes popular with lots of people talking about it again for the first time in years, that’s a resurgence

[dusky jacinth]

Like the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and MegaMan BattleNetwork Legacy collection came from their fandoms continuing to keep things alive and asking frequently for whoever the rights owners were to revive their favorites franchises.
Had they not then both probably would've stayed dead.

[full fossil]

how about noo how about noo

[dreamy rose]

look at this. its more popular than its ever been.

[full fossil]

probably because of the updates

[harsh quartz]

Almost as if it had a fuckin resurgence which someone is being too dented to understand

[dreamy rose]

i'm not the one saying its dead,

[harsh quartz]

No mate, it’s cause OW2 literally offed itself and all it’s upset fans went back to tf2

[manic torrent]

Because you rolled poorly at character creation

[vapid zephyr]

LMFAO

That's amazing

[harsh quartz]

The games dead cause of bots, the community isn’t

It’s literally unplayable

[full fossil]

didn't have issues with bots anymore

[dreamy rose]

it isn't.

[dusky jacinth]

That was fixed a while ago actually.

One of Valve's teams finally came back to it and finally addressed the problem properly. Lol.

[harsh quartz]

Have y’all tried playing recently? Cause I did and every match had bots and hackers on both teams and it was an unplayable shitshow of a game

[dreamy rose]

maybe casual was killed cauise of bots, but thats not happening anymore.

[full fossil]

yeah? it had no hackers lol i played like a few weeks ago

[dreamy rose]

define recently?

[harsh quartz]

Like 2 months ago

[lilac bear]

2019

[harsh quartz]

Was literally scouts running around in every match 1 shotting people while being invulnerable

[full fossil]

never leave sprays turned on on community servers of tf2

are you sure they were hacking

I've never seen hackers using scout lol

[harsh quartz]

Bruh, if there is an invulnerable scout that cannot be hit by anything and is one shot critting EVERYONE, yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s a hacker

[dreamy rose]

p sure you just don't know how to deal with the Scu*t subclass

[full fossil]

...

[dreamy rose]

fuck warship

[full fossil]

do you know what bonk is

[dusky jacinth]

To be fair, I only got it once to try back when I was on my Solus install, aaanndd... Well, I only got passed the tutorial, having realized that I legitimately could not get myself coordinated at all throughout the whole thing. After that though, I ended up formatting the install to head back onto Windows because I realized it just... Wasn't working the way I expected it too.

[lilac bear]

are you having a stroke

[harsh quartz]

Also it doesn’t help that valve has turned that game into a gamble simulator and blocked game modes behind paid passes to even play

[dusky jacinth]

Since then, I never really had the motivation to try TF2 again.

[dreamy rose]

nobody is actually really caring about Competitive TF2.

[harsh quartz]

Or, idk, MVM?

[dreamy rose]

community servers

[dusky jacinth]

Since... Well, so long had passed since I was ever interested in playing the game (literally years ago) that now after seeing so many battle royale games, it just made me... Dissonant to it too.

[harsh quartz]

Or how it’s shoving the shop and keys down your throat every 2 fucking seconds

[full fossil]

to be fair you can win golden weapons worth 600 dollars in mvm

[golden talon]

CSGO > TF2

[harsh quartz]

Why, why the FUCK are their weapons in that game worth 600$?

[full fossil]

behold, golden frying pans

[harsh quartz]

Both are horrendous gambling sims

[golden talon]

theres weapons in CSGO worth $50K

[dreamy rose]

you cant really compare them though.

[golden talon]

you dont even need to gamble to enjoy csgo

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, saying “look at this worse example” doesn’t make either example good, it just adds another shitty game to the list

[full fossil]

just dont buy it then its all cosmetics and guns are literally free

[golden talon]

it would be a problem if gambling affected gameplay but it doesnt

CSGO is the father of all FPS

[harsh quartz]

No it’s still a problem

[golden talon]

competitive FPS*

[harsh quartz]

If your lucky enough to get them

[golden talon]

its a problem if you make it a problem lol

[dreamy rose]

Battle royale games are as similar to TF2 as CS is to half life. complete different style of shooter,

[harsh quartz]

It’s a predatory system

[full fossil]

you can trade a single scrap for weapons

[dusky jacinth]

Wasn't that GoldenEye 007 first though? Lol.

[full fossil]

you have like 2 hours or something

[golden talon]

Nobody is forcing you to roll on it

[lilac bear]

I am

[harsh quartz]

No there just totally wasn’t a whole scandal with the gambling websites or anything that involved predatory practices

[full fossil]

who cares

[golden talon]

those skin gambling websites arent associated with CSGO in any official way

[harsh quartz]

🖐️

[dusky jacinth]

They don't look or feel that way to me from an external standpoint.

[dreamy rose]

Also a good mention: Battle royale is fucking ass and ditching a long lived, well featured game for it specifically, is a joke.

[golden talon]

those sites are predatory

you cannot blame CSGO for that

[harsh quartz]

Maybe not officially

[full fossil]

i hate the damn golden pass or whatever every game has those

[golden talon]

In any way lol

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, not officially through valve

[dreamy rose]

you really havent played TF2 then. if anything its similar to overwatch but better in every way.

[golden talon]

yeah, so CSGO has no connection to these gambling sites

those sites dont make CSGO a bad game

[dusky jacinth]

I've never played or was interested in playing Overwatch either.

[full fossil]

he doesn't even know the weapons

[harsh quartz]

They definitely hurt it, and even without the sites it’s still not a clean game by any means

[dreamy rose]

Battle pass, the pay to unlock scheme.

[golden talon]

No game is clean by any means lol you can heap shit on any game in some way
Point is CSGO broke so many records and it's a legendary game

Player count says it all

[harsh quartz]

There are plenty of games that are clean from micro transactions and don’t prey on people’s addictions

[dusky jacinth]

I'm pretty general with how I'd describe the battle royales, so I'm sorry if I wasn't that specific.
I'm generally indifferent to most fps games.

[red breach]

Battle Royale is a fun game mode and arguing against it... you're factually wrong. It takes the arena-shooter and flips it on it's head

[golden talon]

and how does CSGO as a game prey on peoples addictions lmao

[full fossil]

i barely see people on csgo with skins

[dreamy rose]

its fair if you aren't interested in class shooters but don't go saying its the same thing as battle royale because thats the same thing as claiming Crash bandicoot and Mario 64 are the same game.

[harsh quartz]

Loot boxes and gambling

[full fossil]

lol?

[golden talon]

Which have 0 effect on gameplay whatsoever

[full fossil]

nobodys forcing you to buy lootboxes

[red breach]

like, the BR subgenre of FPS games will forever be as emblematic of the late-10s shooter

[harsh quartz]

It doesn’t matter, the fact that it includes gambling over items that have a real dollar value backing them means that it is incentivized for the game to push it on you, especially once the game went to a F2P model

[red breach]

oh there it is, he's basically a video game racist

/s (?)

[dusky jacinth]

They aren't, but they are the same genre: platformers.
Both just approach it differently mechanics-wise, but are in a way similar as they are mostly linear for each stage with just enough free-roam to find different things.

[harsh quartz]

Wait, you saying someone is factually wrong for saying they don’t think something is fun?

[golden talon]

The fact that you can enjoy the full CSGO experience without spending a single cent now is pretty insane

[full fossil]

that was like aways though

[red breach]

it's mostly this statement that's factually wrong

[full fossil]

since it was free

[red breach]

if BR was objectively not a compelling game mode, there wouldn't be half a million players engaging in them on the PC platform alone, at any given moment

[golden talon]

pubg and fortnite propelled BR to heights nobody could have imagined

[harsh quartz]

No, that statement isn’t wrong, if you have a fan base that loves 1 thing for 15 years, would you suddenly change it completely and ignore the fan base that you already know you have?

[dreamy rose]

going to an inferior sub genre of shooter is just disappointing.

[lilac bear]

battle royale is dying lol

[red breach]

welcome to the media cycle where franchises are brands

[full fossil]

why do you think ow2 fans went back to tf2 like they're the same fanbase

[dreamy rose]

firstly. do you know how many of them actually know about any better shooter games? majority of them are 4 year olds.

[red breach]

the flipside is, are you such a stick-in-the-mud you can't enjoy the popular-modern-game with theming of a franchise you like?

[harsh quartz]

your saying that BR alone is enough to make a fun game, it is not, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many failed ones, your looking at a few hyper-popular games and saying that it’s the be-all and end-all of game modes. That is factually wrong

[lilac bear]

oh Fortnite is popular so it must be an example of how to make a good game

[dusky jacinth]

Lol. I think this joke would play better if I went straight for "hate" instead of "I just don't care about them".

[full fossil]

i tried fortnite a few months ago its such a confunsing mess to me

so much shit in my screen

[red breach]

are you making the argument of gamediscoverablility in 2023? If this was 1993, sure, maybe, you could argue that games DOOM SNES were popular because "that's all the kids had" but.... I'm talking about PC players, complete with access to Steam, EGS free titles, etc

[harsh quartz]

IMO RoR2 is a far better shooter than fortnite and it has no save game mode

[dreamy rose]

crash bandicoot IS Linear. with mild ability for exploration. Mario 64 is literally freeroam.

[full fossil]

they're still both platformers

[dusky jacinth]

By level design, yes. In fact, SM64 is closer to the OG Spyro trilogy in terms of that.

[red breach]

literally yes. Fortnite being popular, by definition, makes it good or something to emulate if you want to, you know, have success by the measure of players

[lilac bear]

part of why chapter 1 was liked
chapter 2 introduced so much flashy "you leveled up" shit on your screen, same for the bounties
then chapter 4 introduced augments which is another thing on your screen

[dusky jacinth]

[harsh quartz]

Marvel is popular but that doesn’t make it good, it just means people watch it, but it’s been proven time and time again that people will watch whatever the fuck is on the TV if they’re bored enough

[dusky jacinth]

Also, isn't Fortnite more like trying to be so many things at once, all wrapped up into one game?

[dreamy rose]

yes, you think a kids gonna look at other shooter games when they are brainwashed and addicted to playing Fortnite all day every day?

[lilac bear]

I mean Fortnite is not a bad example when hackers aren't that much of an issue and it runs pretty well for an Unreal game
but it does not take comp play seriously at all

[full fossil]

theres like chrome tornadoes, dinos and quests i dont know what's happening 😭

[dusky jacinth]

Like it's literally become a metaverse at this point, from all I've been hearing.

[red breach]

this was the absolute edgiest, crasiest argument 10 years ago. Crazy how the hipsters bred a new generation

[harsh quartz]

I’m sorry, what the FUCK does this even mean?

oh course your zoomer ass doesn't understand GOOD humor 😂 😂 😂

[lusty dirge]

Wow Alan Wake pc requirements are crazy lol

[red breach]

popular things are, popular, with most people. BY DEFINITION THAT MAKES THEM GOOD

[dusky jacinth]

Well even a hipster would disagree with this. Lmao.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah except this isn’t what I fuckin said dude, I said it’s popular DESPITE it being bad, not the other way around, Jesus fuck

[lilac bear]

I wouldn't say Velma is a good show in that case

[dreamy rose]

fortnite is basically unplayable with its stupid ass meta building mode where you build Area 51 after hearing a sound.

[red breach]

that's putting a +1 modifier on the basic hipster argument, it's the same shit

[full fossil]

and you see rick morty riding dinos and shooting boomerangs at you

[harsh quartz]

Is your default argument that someone who doesn’t agree with you is a hipster and therefore stupid?

[lilac bear]

there is no-build mode
makes it a third person FPS with building destruction

[red breach]

you can replace "fortnite" or "marvel" with "harry potter" or literally any trend from 10, 15 years ago and there's nothing but thick-glassed hipsters making that argument. you're not in winning company

[dusky jacinth]

Velma, from all I ever heard and have been told, seems more like a show meant to diss the legacy of Scooby-Doo. Like so as much that I've been warned it's not even worth watching or even joining in on any discussions about it.
Like it's basically that bad from whatever I've been hearing, so I've been pretty much steering clear for now.

[harsh quartz]

Also, here’s some shit y’all can’t argue with, league of legends is an extremely popular game, doesn’t make it any good :p

[dreamy rose]

they want it to be a wacky multiverse situation without realising thats what fucking VR Chat is for

[red breach]

yes, arguing against the popularity of popular things, saying they "shouldn't" be popular, is..... dry and ancient and crusty af

[harsh quartz]

Yeah that’s not what I said at all but good to know you can’t read

[dusky jacinth]

Okay, now that makes sense... In their own game and show. Lmao!

[lilac bear]

pretty much, it's edgelord teenager that got rights to produce a scooby-doo show

[full fossil]

they dont care, kids like that stuff they wanna ride dinos and shoot people in tornadoes

[red breach]

so you think it's "bad" but "should" be popular, that's what you're arguing??

[full fossil]

ofc they add that

[red breach]

but somehow it's not "good" to model yourself after, if you want to be successful?

[dusky jacinth]

No, literally anyone would have a say about this actually, even players who unironically enjoy playing.

[lilac bear]

so you agree Facebook is good because it's a popular service

[harsh quartz]

What? What ass did you pull that out of? I said it’s bad media but despite that it still manages to be popular, that’s it, that’s literally all I’ve said

[dusky jacinth]

There are people who think that's actually stupid, but play the game anyway because they enjoy it for the game it is to them. Lol.

[dreamy rose]

despite being good, Day Of Defeat is no longer a popular title anymore.

[lilac bear]

well uh have you considered that game sucks then

[harsh quartz]

Despite being good, RoR2 is not popular, the 2 are not 100% correlated

[full fossil]

isn't pubg also doing this multiverse stuff too

[harsh quartz]

Correlation does not mean causation, did none of y’all have geometry classes?

[lilac bear]

VRChat but you have to pay $20 for each model

[dreamy rose]

they arent sucking up all kinds of characters and people they can are they?

[harsh quartz]

Some people wish they only had to pay 20$ for their models

[lilac bear]

not wrong LMFAO

[dreamy rose]

people will pay hundreds for that shit.

[full fossil]

there's aways people buying things from any game

duh

[dusky jacinth]

I still don't see VRC as a game or even much of a platform I'll ever fully understand after having wandered aimlessly through so many empty and eclectic worlds there.

[harsh quartz]

Got these multimillionaire doctors and lawyers dressing up with $10k fursuits in vrchat

[dreamy rose]

literally all it will be is the most basic common model just retextured.

[full fossil]

its basically discord if it was a game

[harsh quartz]

No that’s league, just a toxic cesspool

[dusky jacinth]

Eeehh Discord as a game, I can imagine that would be even weirder and maybe less likeable.

In fact, I think Discord as a game would be like O.A.S.I.S. from Ready Player One, but everything is a mess.

[harsh quartz]

Or portal co-op cause there’s a million arguments and both sides end up being wrong

[full fossil]

what game this server would be like

[harsh quartz]

Both of my previous comments

[lilac bear]

League is popular so that MAKES THE GAME GOOD
DONT YOU UNDERSTAND

[dusky jacinth]

Or Goldeneye 007, where it can either make you new friends, new foes, or end friendships that already exist.

[harsh quartz]

But it’s NOT (and yes I know your sarcastic here)

[dreamy rose]

Perfect Dark > Goldeneye

[harsh quartz]

If your making friends on discord your doing something wrong

[dreamy rose]

always has been always will be

[dusky jacinth]

Eh, I think they both can do the same effect. Lol.

[full fossil]

nothings wrong with it unless they do it full time

[supple pawn]

I agree with this

[dreamy rose]

perfect dark was what rare couldn't do cause of the bond licence.

[dusky jacinth]

Nono, if you actually make friends on Discord and it's legit, you did one of the hardest things for most people on the said platform to do in a public space.

[dreamy rose]

they went fucking hard with perfect dark and created the best shooter

[lilac bear]

is it popular? then no

they didn't

[harsh quartz]

Cmon man, he’s dead already

[dreamy rose]

now there is a Decomp and PC port its got its place as Truly the best.

[full fossil]

wait a minute, war in ukraine not popular anymore, probably bad war ugh

[harsh quartz]

Wait I’m dumb as fuck, this server is clearly I am bread

[dreamy rose]

you throw that Decomp on your PC, playing with keyboard and mouse? feels like a native PC Game on par with Goldsource titles.

[full fossil]

the game i am bread?

[dusky jacinth]

I personally respect both after hearing the game development history.
Those devs had so many odds against them in development and not just because Nintendo barely gave them much to work off of.

[full fossil]

i think that game went down

removed i think

[harsh quartz]

No the cinematic masterpiece of a movie I am bread with the soundtrack scored by John “bread” Williams

[vapid zephyr]

UBM is popular and that's why it's good

[full fossil]

what's ubm

[harsh quartz]

Apple is popular so clearly it’s the best company

[dreamy rose]

uberbigshart

[harsh quartz]

X is popular so it’s a good social media platform

[supple pawn]

X is better than threads

[harsh quartz]

Both are absolutely a joke

[full fossil]

remember the catchphrase of X

its like blaze your glory

[dreamy rose]

threads fucks, X sits in the corner.

[full fossil]

what does that mean

[vapid zephyr]

'X your ex'

[dusky jacinth]

I personally never have and never will care about either of them aftger all these years.
This view is not changing anytime soon either.

[harsh quartz]

X is for people to laugh at how bad X is and threads is for people to laugh at how bad X is

[full fossil]

the catchphrase should be "if people are mean they are morally evil"

[dusky jacinth]

Same goes for BlueSky, which is more than likely bound to blowup into a Twitter 2.0.

Which is why I refuse to go there.

[full fossil]

what is bluesky

[harsh quartz]

People keep talking about the “next twitter” NO there SHOULD NOT be another twitter

[dusky jacinth]

It's basically another social media site, like Twitter, founded by the same founder.

[iron hatch]

guys, i have network on my pc but its completely disabled in my phone and my tv. any suggestions?

[full fossil]

YES IT SHOULD or else they're all gonna move to discord or whatever

[harsh quartz]

Buy a new phone and tv

[dusky jacinth]

Just with... No restrictions on who can be there per se.

[iron hatch]

im serious

[harsh quartz]

Fuckin let ‘em, that’s why there are private servers

[full fossil]

oh yeah

[lilac bear]

buy an S23 Ultra

[harsh quartz]

Hi serious, I’m dad

[dusky jacinth]

You just get a code to get in while it's in beta and... That's it. Just about anyone can go there.

So basically X with no filter, whatsoever, other than needing a code to get an account.

[harsh quartz]

Everyone should use Campfire, the Niantic accessory app that pairs with PokemonGO

[full fossil]

that's basically 4chan?

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah, just on a new site, based on Twitter.
Basically.

[full fossil]

that's bad

[dusky jacinth]

I know.

[harsh quartz]

Y’all talkin as if all social media isn’t bad

[full fossil]

some are worse than others

[dusky jacinth]

Well, yeah, it's always been, but just when you think it couldn't be any worse, somewhere with tons of people try to prove the unlikely.

[iron hatch]

Can someone help me out in #networking

[harsh quartz]

And? That’s like saying shooting someone 3 times is worse than shooting them 1 time, you still shot someone

[dusky jacinth]

... Fair point.

[harsh quartz]

They’re all bad, yea some are worse but that doesn’t make the other ones good

[full fossil]

but you dont really got a choice

[harsh quartz]

Even discord is bad but it’s the least evil

[harsh quartz]

Just don’t use social media?

[full fossil]

uh

least?

[harsh quartz]

Of the big ones, yeah, it’s the least evil

[dusky jacinth]

So is Tumblr, but that's complicated in it's own right.
Even Mastadon, but it's also like here.

[harsh quartz]

Tumblr basically doesn’t exist after they got rid of the… uh… adult content

[full fossil]

nah there's lots of dark shit going on in other servers, Facebook is probably the less evil and i hate saying that

[dusky jacinth]

Oooohhh they're still around and they still have users.

[harsh quartz]

Okay, but you can just not be in those servers, that’s not discords fault

[dusky jacinth]

I should know. I don't login there except once every other blue moon, but I can say they're still active.

[full fossil]

they dont do anything about it tho

[harsh quartz]

I know they’re still around but no one talks about tumblr and no one uses tumblr

[harsh quartz]

Good, they’re private servers, discord doesn’t need to be involved in moderating every private server

[dusky jacinth]

Apparently, if you're in the art world of the internet, we artists, animators, writers, and so on still do.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, there’s always Pinterest and that 34 site 🙂

[full fossil]

alot of them in twitter too

[dusky jacinth]

Pinterest is not a first consideration to my knowledge, and if you say Instagram, it's only a seldom few because they're not gallery friendly from what I've last heard.

[dusky jacinth]

Yep, so when things started going down, guess what they all had to do.

[full fossil]

uhh they doxx people

[dusky jacinth]

The same thing a lot did back with DeviantArt: jump ship or spread out.

[harsh quartz]

I hear about Pinterest a hell of a lot more than I ever hear about tumblr

[full fossil]

isn't Pinterest just reposted stuff

[dusky jacinth]

I hear next to nothing about Pinterest in the art space.

[harsh quartz]

If that’s what you post on it, isn’t TikTok just reposted stuff?

[dusky jacinth]

Even Etsy gets mentioned more often than that.

[harsh quartz]

Aren’t meme channels just reposted stuff?

[full fossil]

ohhh

[dusky jacinth]

That's... Anywhere and everywhere though.

[harsh quartz]

That’s just the internet, humans are no longer allowed to have creative thoughts

[dusky jacinth]

Depends on where in the internet you are. Lol.

[full fossil]

you just have to look harder ig

[dusky jacinth]

Creative places full of creative people are not a hard find, unless you just legit don't care about such places.

[harsh quartz]

Urban dictionary is my favorite part of the internet

[full fossil]

okay

[dusky jacinth]

Okay, so that's why you can't find any of them. Nevermind then.

[iron hatch]

theres no second way?

[harsh quartz]

Usually how a password works

Kinda the whole point of a password

[iron hatch]

yeah but im asking if theres an unusal way to bypass it

[vapid smelt]

Ask your parents or your isp

[harsh quartz]

Wouldn’t be a very secure password if so

[iron hatch]

whos my isp?

[vapid smelt]

Internet service provider

[harsh quartz]

That’s a great question for your isp

[iron hatch]

No, I'm trying to bypass it without my parents knowing all of this lmfao

if i ask my isp, they'll ask questions about the info my parents used to even setup the password

[harsh quartz]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusky jacinth]

Wow, I literally guessed this further back somehow. Lmao.

Uuhh yeah... Good luck with that.

[iron hatch]

Are the thermals alright?

[pure olive]

hi panda

[pliant karma]

at least for the 3200G ones the panel is perferated so thermals should be good.

the intel one is one of the 35w chips so no perferated panel

playstation 5 honest reaction:

[dreamy rose]

the person who found out liquid metals were better at cooling

[long briar]

Ptm7950 performs better.

Lenovo already uses a version of ptm

it resets itself when it's cool so that it doesn't just pool to a side

[halcyon rapids]

what's ptm

plutonium?

Anyone got any recommendations for a good mobile game?

I hear people talking about Raid Shadow Legends

[glass lantern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPh_SSTK4QA

F***ING FINNALLY, like my reaction when he said he was going wirless for his speakers in the first place was like. "That's dumb." and my reaction everytime after when he complained about it has been "SEE!!!"

[supple pawn]

What's so bad about wireless?

[glass lantern]

If your talking about a single Bluetooth speaker or a Bluetooth set of headphones / earphones, sure it's fine because it's 1 wireless link to 1 device so even if it is a bit spotty at times like you only have to diagnose 1 device.

If you have 5 wireless speakers that all need to be able receive data for the system to work... you are asking for problems

That is my problem with a wirless surround sound system.

I don't even have an issue with having a wireless receiver in each room or a single wireless speaker in each room because if the sound goes out in that room it doesn't ruin it for every other room. The whole problem is as I said having multiple speakers in the same place that you have there to generate a specific effect that will be ruined by even 1 of them cutting out.

[supple pawn]

Can use WiFi instead?

[glass lantern]

The speakers he's using basically use WiFi, although they don't call it that. By wireless speakers I mean WiFi mostly.

[craggy island]

can someone recommend a wifi card to me? just a basic one for pcie that can get good wifi speeds, my onboard one is like 8mb /s so i need something better

[glass lantern]

Don't be bad and use ethernet for a desktop?

[supple pawn]

That's not always an option, unfortunately

[glass lantern]

I was like 30% joking

[supple pawn]

I don't know enough about WiFi cards

https://www.newegg.com/p/0XM-06WG-00020

Maybe this one? Anyone have any experience?

[glass lantern]

And it is always an option if you are willing to work at it, if you have carpet is as easy as using a spudger and getting it under the base board, and if you have hard floors you can put quarter round cable raceway down with a non permeate adessive if you are renting.

[tardy terrace]

its probably using an intel card and gigabyte just put it on a pcb and slapped their name on it

[tardy terrace]

yes that card has bluetooth 5.2\

[glass lantern]

although the quater round isn't an option if you already have aesthetic quarter round down already... which would be a bummer, so yeh in that specific case your kinda screwed if you have a wife and are renting, there are more janky solutions if your living on your own or with another guy who doesn't care if there are visable wires though.

https://www.newegg.ca/tp-link-archer-tx55e-usb-2-0/p/N82E16833704656 would this be good? i forgot to mention im canadian and shipping from us would be pretty expensive the one @supple pawn recommended isnt available on the ca website

I've got a handful of their wifi & powerline products

[dull granite]

hi peYTOn

[summer folio]

Real, used a TP-Link CPE210 for Wi-fi in my rectangular apartment for years

Later gave it to my older brother, so he could connect to the School buildings Wi-Fi from his Caravan/house trailer he lived in

Allegedly it can do up to ~5km/3miles Wi-Fi(CPE210 to CPE210) - It's the CPE510(point-to-point) that allagegd can do up to 15km*

Perfect for the living room.

sourdough bread is good stuff man

[ionic abyss]

i want mgs 3 on pc!!!

[pure olive]

[tired glade]

Aren't all metal gear games out for PC

[fossil frost]

MGS 2 > All other metal gear games

[tired glade]

Kinda

[pliant karma]

same minds think alike. I like sourdough too

[ionic abyss]

why wont they release mgs3 on pc

the ps2 emulator is kinda picky sometimes

[fossil frost]

only reason not to do will be something like the MS/Rare/Nintendo issue around goldeneye where several people all own the rights, and nobody is willing to give in

[ionic abyss]

so we will not see mgs 3 snake eater on pc anytime soon?

[fossil frost]

ahh... this is probably the reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_Delta:_Snake_Eater

[ionic abyss]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid:_Master_Collection

when was this announced???????

[graceful burrow]

A fucking while ago

It comes out very soon

[ionic abyss]

when

[graceful burrow]

Read the fucking Wikipedia article Jesus man

[polar fern]

did they re-shoot the entire secret shopper video?

or just the intro and the starforge?

[ionic abyss]

hmmmm

were is part 3

Time to commit crimes against humanity by eating undercooked rice

I'd throw it away but a man does not waste his rice (and it's only slightly undercooked so it's fine)

[ionic abyss]

noooo not under cooked rice!

This is a blatant ripoff of the best anime, Corey in the house

[echo canopy]

I’m surprised it’s not number 1 on my anime list

Daily reminder to build your own pc lol

[ionic abyss]

but i cant afford to build a pc every day

[lyric sphinx]

Your tummy will cook the rice the rest of the way

[harsh quartz]

im just imagining someone in a server closet surrounded by pc parts "Why must i make so many pcs"

[pure olive]

Hi elijah

Want me to make you mad with one photo

I’m sending it anyways

[ionic abyss]

that is a mess

[lyric sphinx]

Seems like excessive radiators

[ionic abyss]

or to small of a case

[lyric sphinx]

I mean what are you cooling that you need a 320mm and a 260mm radiator

Or whatever size they are

[vapid zephyr]

Ngl, I dig it

It doesn't look mainstream, it's kinda cool

[pure olive]

360mm and a 240
300w 13600k + 450w 7900xtx

technically I actually should have more radiator if I follow the 120mm of rad per 100w of heat rule

But my front rad is extra thick

[pure olive]

how

[pure olive]

I love it.
It's unique, and every part of it had to be made to work by me

[lyric sphinx]

You should ls swap it

Get an LS radiator and use that to cool it

[pure olive]

meh

[vapid zephyr]

Why make them swap things if it works just fine

Fixing a problem that doesn't exist is kinda pointless

[lyric sphinx]

It's called engineering and overhead

30000 watts of cooling

Or get a chilled water rig

[vapid zephyr]

The number 1 basic rule of engineering is 'It may be jank and maybe look like a bomb, but it works'

[north raptor]

I brought a aorus b550m pro-p motherboard from eBay but the seller then told me that the screws for the motherboard are not included. What screws are they that I need and where can I get them from.

[lyric sphinx]

Just use any that fit

Drywall is best

[vapid zephyr]

They're 6-32 UNC

[lyric sphinx]

I kid I kid but you might try google

Sometimes your case might come with them too

[craggy island]

hi idk if this is the right place to ask but my standby mode on my iphone keeps turning off every minute or so until i tap the screen, and i want it to stay on forever, how can i disable the auto turn off feature? i already turned off autolock in display and brightness

[ionic abyss]

i assume there is a screen time out setting

look for that

[desert trench]

anyone wanna see something cool?

[ionic abyss]

why not im bored

[desert trench]

well the bot deleted my msg, but basically there is a trick to ping someone without @mentioning them or ping replying

[vapid smelt]

had to use some weird shortcut method that makes the screen for the .2s so it thinks you are interacting with it

Huh, I never knew jingles was on float plane, that old man is on everything

[summer folio]

LTT(Floatplane) truly are opposite of transparent

[harsh quartz]

?

Watcha mean

[summer folio]

You didn't jingles was on floatplane

You had to create a Discord account, join the LTT server, & ask Koopa Troopa who already payed for the service to send an insider print screen in chat to get any information

[gilded forge]

even the dead purgatory of storyfire?

[summer folio]

Maybe you can see the creators on floatplane by creating an account, and maybe its free to create an account (?) - clueless -

But it's already bad enough that you have to create an account to see what you are creating an account for...

[harsh quartz]

That’s fair

[gilded forge]

if you're going as far as creating an account, chances are that you already have someone in mind that has a creator account that you would like to subscribe to.

its a scam 😏

[summer folio]

I'm a pirate, I like to try stuff before buying them

[harsh quartz]

wait, no, if your a pirate you dont buy

[dreamy rose]

Star Citizen did deliver A game which is being updated still. leap in logic to call it a scam per se

[harsh quartz]

maybe the real scam was the friends we made along the way

[lament lynx]

i was joking about it being scam..

[dreamy rose]

some people think its a scam.

[harsh quartz]

it definitely is a scam

[lament lynx]

ik

[dreamy rose]

and those some people are dumb, they delivered a game.

[lament lynx]

yep

[summer folio]

Pirates spends more on Movies than non-pirates, think its true for music too

[harsh quartz]

what, like for the hardware cost of keeping a 16tb NAS for all them movies?

[summer folio]

spent 150$ on cinema tickets the other day

[harsh quartz]

..for what?

[summer folio]

Cinema

[dreamy rose]

hey thats like 4 movies.

[harsh quartz]

the fuck it is

[summer folio]

Pirates contributes more to the movie industry than non-pirates last time I checked.

unfortunately was not true for games kekw

[dreamy rose]

movies in the Cinemas are expensive

[summer folio]

real, I guess people who pirate movies are more likely to watch cinema 🤷🏻‍♀️

Piracy = free advertising

[harsh quartz]

yeah theyre like ~15$ a ticket

[summer folio]

I go to a non-profit cinema

[harsh quartz]

so its closer to 8/9 movies instead of 4

[summer folio]

they have 3 months tickets for 70$, watch as many movies you like

[dreamy rose]

they are like 20 bucks here.

[harsh quartz]

even then, its still 7 movies

[dreamy rose]

just a ticket

[harsh quartz]

yes, thats how tickets work

[summer folio]

even more for imax

70$ for 3 month cinema, with 4 shows each day = 360 shows total for 70$.
or 70$/360 = 20 cents per movie visit at best.

[vapid smelt]

ew you support big movie smh

[summer folio]

ik 😔

[harsh quartz]

i just wnana go to a theater to get some popcorn then leave

[summer folio]

There are 0 marvel movies in the cinema tho

[harsh quartz]

good

[summer folio]

only real movies

[harsh quartz]

the only movie im really looking forward to is Dune part 2

[harsh quartz]

wait isnt the marvels movie out?

[summer folio]

out?

[harsh quartz]

in theater

yeah, theres a marvel movie in theaters right now, literally called the marvels

or will be soon? im not sure

[gilded forge]

it's garbage probably

it has captain marvel in it, therefore garbage.

[harsh quartz]

its a brie larson movie so its garbage definitely

[summer folio]

Not in the non-profit cinema I watch movies at

[dreamy rose]

fun fact: there's a stadium in Melbourne's Docklands that was renamed to Marvel Stadium in 2018. its real name is the "Docklands stadium" but its pretty much sold some naming rights to people since it opened.

[river valley]

Why would you do that?

[harsh quartz]

am i supposed to care about this?

[harsh quartz]

its good

[river valley]

You're paying a massive premium for it and you're not even going into the movie theater

[dreamy rose]

no. but its something that exists

[harsh quartz]

its good

[whole swallow]

I just make movie theater popcorn at home

[polar fern]

youtube premium is almost $20/mo by the way. even if i didnt have a fiscal limiataion on what i could do, that is some highway robber bullshit. it's more than 3 actual real streaming services combined.

[summer folio]

"Today@Elektra Cinema in Västerås:
13:00 The Miracle Club

14:45 Fritt fall
15:00 Hypermoon (Premier)
17:30 Höstlöv som faller
18:00 Labor (+Discussion)
20:00 Tillsammans"

[whole swallow]

cheaper and better cause I put the topping in a spray bottle so everything gets perfectly coated

[harsh quartz]

use a student dicount ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gilded forge]

2 streaming services for the price of 3! it's a steal!

[polar fern]

haha

[crystal willow]

I tried that but they only accept unis

[polar fern]

basically

[gilded forge]

oh fuck yt

[polar fern]

mhm

[harsh quartz]

with a hell of a lot more content that i actually enjoy on it as opposed to other straming platforms where i cant control whats on them

[crystal willow]

It's 7 dollars here lol. But that's still too much!

I think you can switch to some country and buy it at 1.6 dollars or smth

[summer folio]

or just ublock origin?

[harsh quartz]

Or just support creators :p

[gilded forge]

yeah but I just use Spotify because it's more convenient and reliable than yt music.

[harsh quartz]

Spotify is understandable, YT music is shit, but I meant more along the lines of Hulu/Netflix/Disney plus, those ones

[polar fern]

i yeeted spotify because of extremist/cringe podcasters.

[summer folio]

YT Music is the best

[crystal willow]

Not that much percent of people use ad block, youtube is just greedy

[summer folio]

Had tidal before but it was shit, no songs

[polar fern]

i dont care about watching ads, my brain just blanks them out... unless its some hypercringe bs then i report it and block the advertiser

[harsh quartz]

I just keep my own local downloaded playlist, yarr harr harr

[crystal willow]

Spotify became the worst. I'd rather watch the music video on YouTube and watch the 5 sec ad

[gilded forge]

I've never listened to a podcast on Spotify. Pocket Casts combined with custom RSS URLs and watching them on yt when I can is better.

[crystal willow]

Where do you download it from

[harsh quartz]

YouTube 🙂

[crystal willow]

Am from the feds

[harsh quartz]

Those level 3 plates your wearing?

[summer folio]

YT Music = Every song on YouTube but without video if you don't want it

[polar fern]

i watch "well there's your problem" because they have slides on youtube, but in general not into the podcast format as a casual thing. my brain isnt really wired that way

they also dont do ads, exept one baked in for patreon
