GTA6 is not out on PC for at least 2027

That's still a god damn long time

[graceful burrow]

Me when I say unconfirmed info very confidently

Wait I don't do that

Wonder why

[neon mesa]

When the word "at least"

[graceful burrow]

That doesn't change it lmao

[neon mesa]

It's releasing on console like 2025, there's at least some gap for a PC release

[graceful burrow]

We don't know when it's coming out on pc

That's the only real answer kek

[neon mesa]

I'm not saying it's coming on 2027

[graceful burrow]

Yeah you're saying it's coming out 2027 or later

Which
We don't know

Which is why I said unconfirmed info

Because we don't know lol

[neon mesa]

Sigh whatever

It's called an estimated guess, especially that there's the rumored delay

[languid siren]

does somebody knows what happened to the web archive?

[strong finch]

basically kinda pretty easy to rank up lol

[haughty inlet]

yeah but my motive isnt "get meta weapon and try getting 100 kills a round with that weapon"

[strong finch]

i dont use meta weapons

[haughty inlet]

i usually was playing with a rank 400 dude

[strong finch]

i use my own attachment recipe

i can get 100 kills using only stock weapon lol

[haughty inlet]

depends on the server if i can manage that

did they ever manage to fix the spawning system?

the new Cathode Ray Dude video on his patreon is pretty cool.

[graceful burrow]

ive heard good things about them

[lilac bear]

[graceful burrow]

i dont give a shit if you believe me dw

[manic torrent]

My og Xbox with xbmc was absolutely off the chain. It was hands down the best thing circa 2001

[lilac bear]

obviously you repeat the same opinion

[spice pine]

great games, if you’re into RPGs

[graceful burrow]

sounds like a real good alternative to anything else that existed at the same time

[manic torrent]

Not even - realistic alternative options simply didn't exist, and wouldn't for many years

[lilac bear]

[spice pine]

I saw a Halo edition OG xbox for sale nearby, i should see about getting it

[graceful burrow]

how much was it

[spice pine]

too much

[graceful burrow]

naturally

[spice pine]

like $300 i think

[graceful burrow]

i feel bad for zek, broken game gear for 95 aud is absurd lmao

its not an easy job to recap and he'd have to do it himself

[spice pine]

$550, but it came with a bunch of extras

[hard oriole]

i didnt know you could set the og 360 to boot to WMC

that was the wildest thing to me

[spice pine]

2 green halo controllers, 2 spare duke controllers, and the dvd remote

[hard oriole]

just like 8 years ago i had a friend in high school whose dad still used an OG xbox for media playback off his network share

[void shale]

Canelo v Mungia, it was a great fight

[golden snow]

Hello world, just saying hi because new here before I go back to lurking.👀

[thin fjord]

enjoy the show

[onyx heath]

i was just in a game with someone who was rank 300

[thin fjord]

idk how those people can manage, i've been playing on-and-off for like 10 years and i dont even think ive hit level 100 yet

the level progression is so slow at the latter stages it's no wonder why people just buy the guns they want at like level 20

[onyx heath]

i remember when i found out about selling skins

sold all of mine and ended up with 12k

most roblox games dont have much of a progression

[thin fjord]

on the contrary

i feel like most roblox games these days leave a massive ceiling for upgrading skills/abilities or add a bunch of levels to incentivize spending money to progress quicker

[onyx heath]

that kinda sounds like pet simulator

not too long ago i was at the mall and i saw pet sim blind bags

[thin fjord]

im glad a game was able to scale beyond roblox just sucks that it had to be a gacha game

[onyx heath]

scale beyond roblox? yes. is it a good game? no

that game is hugely pay to win

and the grind in that game is horrible

[thin fjord]

yeah this is what im talking about

[onyx heath]

reminds me of roblox and its massive amount of similars that look different but basically are the same

a lot of those are like clicking games

[thin fjord]

modern day cookie clicker

[onyx heath]

however i do like the tower defense games

the only tower defense game i can find outside of roblox is bloons td

and yes i have both 5 and 6

[onyx heath]

can you use an autoclicker in cookie clicker?

[thin fjord]

absolutely and then some

[onyx heath]

also theres this genre in roblox called tycoons

[thin fjord]

if you were in the browser version you could inspect element and just change the amount of cookies you had

[onyx heath]

the last time i really went and played a tycoon game in roblox was 2 years ago and it wasnt even a normal tycoon

[thin fjord]

tycoons and obbys were my elementary school afternoons

[onyx heath]

in which that tycoon i played was themepark tycoon 2

i have since bought rct2, 3 and planet coaster

[thin fjord]

that's awesome

roblox practically replaced game demos lmao

[onyx heath]

if such games that are great like themepark tycoon 2 can exist on roblox i cant see why someome couldnt make something like cities skylines

[onyx heath]

and you can also be social

last time i was sitting in the roblox menu i had 1000 fps

i do wish most of the games on roblox werent just junk

[onyx heath]

Super hero tycoon

[onyx heath]

they were mine too til my mom banned me from the computer and then i started playing the ps3

in which i played littlebigplanet

sucks that its completely offline now

[thin fjord]

also a banger game

[onyx heath]

was the first ever console game i played online

i remember just joining random lobbies

and this comunity map i use to play

was too good

in which it was called Little Big Olympic

[thin fjord]

i never got to try online because i didn't know how to use PSN at the time lmao

[onyx heath]

i always wondered how a littlebigplanet 3 comunity made game would work in big planet 1

because some of the mechanics in 3 just dont exist in 1

seems i will never get an answer since online is dead

rip

[onyx heath]

a game i do regret not playing online was Gran Turismo 6

i never comprehended that it had an online mode until it was too late

I never really followed many games

the one game i really followed just had to die

[idle nymph]

Goated game

[onyx heath]

Speaking of which it took me 8 years to beat a level and that level wasnt even that hard

[fervent glacier]

Guys I just bought a ryzen 9 and I’ve got a 120mm radiator

Am I cooked ‼️‼️💯💯

[idle nymph]

Personally I had to carry my little cousins through some levels lmao

[onyx heath]

You know the first level in the wedding

i was stuck on that level for 8 years

how tf

[idle nymph]

Nah I forgot

[idle nymph]

Sometime it just don't work

[onyx heath]

i could never comprehend the correct steps to beat a part and would run out of lives

[full fossil]

hey guys i need help with volumes in my mac

[onyx heath]

whats wrong with it

[full fossil]

so i tried installing arch on it but deleted it soon. it created 2 additional volumes. i have erased that too. now i want to add those empty volumes to the main macintosh volume. but i couldn't find a way to do it

[onyx heath]

what kind of mac do you have

[full fossil]

m1 pro macbook 14 inch

2021 model

[onyx heath]

im pretty sure arch never supported arm

and how the hell did you even install a different os

[full fossil]

i saw in a video that it worked so i was hoping that it would work on mine too but i couldn't

[onyx heath]

probably a different mac

[full fossil]

i saw fireship's video and tried doing it

[idle nymph]

Same

[full fossil]

its the same mac i have

[onyx heath]

the day i beat it i found that level to be easy af

[onyx heath]

send the video

because arch itself has zero official support for arm

[idle nymph]

Ye

[onyx heath]

outside of emulation and virtual machines

[full fossil]

alright. so what should i do to revert everything back

[full fossil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_I9nkpovCQ

I saw this one and was hoping that it would work on mine

[onyx heath]

reinstall macOS

[full fossil]

alright cool. will do it

[onyx heath]

that guy isnt running arch directly tho

like i said there is no arm support on arch

theres only really one distro that supports m1

[fervent glacier]

ive seen too many horror stories of moldy seals

[idle nymph]

I dont own one, problem solved

[hard oriole]

one of my coworkers has been drinking from the same plastic gallon jug for the past year until i started talking to him about the concerns i had about it
he threw it right out lmao

[idle nymph]

Ok

[hard oriole]

like- at least wash it if not replace it

[idle nymph]

Meh, no need to really wash if you use a good bottle and let it dry but a plastic gallon jug is disgusting

[full fossil]

I dont drink water

problem solved

[hard oriole]

it was a gallon jug you buy distilled water in

[full fossil]

(there are water dispensers at work and I have water at home so its fine)

[hard oriole]

like if he washed it regularly-
prob fine for a few months

but as the plastic ages-

[idle nymph]

Eh

Depend on the quality

[hard oriole]

most plastic is porous, and we work in a hot asf warehouse

and the pours aint getting smaller over time

I just use windows for gaming here and there.

Proton and wine (programs to run windows apps on linux) can be a pain.

I use windows for just about everything I need a computer for.

There are a lot of questions like what level hypervisor you want and stuff

What os do you want to run it on (host) and what do you want to run on it

[grand locust]

Okay cool. But does it reset itself every time or is it just like a normal computer

[hard oriole]

if you have to ask that-
buy unraid
it has the most googleable answers

[hard oriole]

normal computer

[grand locust]

Well I need Ventura or later, and I’m running Logic Pro

[cloud atlas]

No you can have persistant storage on it

[hard oriole]

some quirks more being that its a hackintosh

than a VM

[grand locust]

Cool, only thing I was worried about

[cloud atlas]

Yeah mac os is more of a pain

[grand locust]

Specifically, need Ventura 13.5 or later

[hard oriole]

hackintosh will fade away as apple silicon goes more mainstream but for now-

its still largely an option

[grand locust]

I was just looking at like a MacBook Air with the M1 chip with 16gb RAM

Relatively cheap in terms of computers if you go refurbished

[hard oriole]

i mean if you got the cash its kinda better that way
i just have the mac VM for experimenting

[grand locust]

Yeah I think that’s what ima do. It’s just more straightforward yk

[hard oriole]

just make sure to buy all the storage you may need up front

[grand locust]

Literally don’t need anything but min spec storage.

[hard oriole]

doesnt matter
dont buy the lowest spec

[grand locust]

Hold like 10-20 or so WAV files, burn em to a CD, delete the files

[unkempt bluff]

Has anybody flipped PC's? Like bought at a good price, assembled and sold for a small profit?

[grand locust]

That’s all I need it for. Whole reason I’m buying the computer is to run Logic Pro and that’s it

[hard oriole]

yeah the bottom barrel m1 air only has a 256g ssd

i would go 1tb at least

[grand locust]

Ima get the 16gb of RAM instead of the 8 just because I MAY end up needing it, but that’s about it

[grand locust]

Why would I need a tb?

256gb is more than what I really need already

[hard oriole]

macbooks last a while
its not totally about what you need now its that the next user would have to solder on more storage

[grand locust]

Why do I care about the next user tho?

[hard oriole]

$100 now means $200 more sold later

[cloud atlas]

Windows has a lot https://youtu.be/39sHUDBiJOM?si=wfWSScWtnTeugynR&t=22

[grand locust]

I mean, I’m just gonna run it until it doesn’t work anymore then throw it away tbh 🤷🏼‍♀️

[hard oriole]

that reinforces my point; the OS drive even on MacOS get cluttered given enough time
256gb really aint much once logic has a decade of updates lol

ask OG macbook air users how they felt about their storage

[grand locust]

I don’t update stuff regularly honestly. If it’s working for me and there’s nothing on the update that actually fixes a problem I have, I’m not updating

[cloud atlas]

Mac’s have ridiculous hardware upgrade prices.

[hard oriole]

the arm ones require bga soldering to upgrade storage lol

[grand locust]

Yall ever just watch a video of something and just wonder “why did they do it that way when they could have done it this way and it would have been so much better?”

[hard oriole]

i work at a company that rents these things out-
we are still hesitant on the ARM machines both for performance for the applications we use and also reliability

but at least on our older macs i am able to do some basic diagnostics

[cloud atlas]

Like what

[grand locust]

ARM?

[hard oriole]

the new M1/M2/M3 macs

[grand locust]

Well, there’s no mic on the acoustic guitar here, and it’s causing the mix to be off.

[cloud atlas]

Special CPUs that run different code at a very low level. More efficient code at lower level so can be faster than other CPUs

[hard oriole]

we have 8 of them we are trialing and they dont work doing type c to HDMI- which is kinda important for us

[cloud atlas]

Any lower level than that and your going to have to lean about ISAs

[grand locust]

Like you have 2 electric guitars plugged into the soundboard and drums in the mix. The acoustic is getting drowned out

[hard oriole]

we have to do type c to display port and use an active adapter

[grand locust]

Huh, interesting.

[hard oriole]

we bought like 40 type c to hdmi adapters that now collect dust cause the macs dont work with em lol

[cloud atlas]

Darn

[grand locust]

Damn.

[cloud atlas]

Can we cuss?

Lmao

[grand locust]

That acoustic is plugged in, what???

Where’s the pickup? Where’s the electrics? 😭

So it was just the sound feller being bad at their job. 🤦🏼‍♀️

But yeah, I just don’t like any of the DAWs available on windows to the point it’s worth me getting a Mac literally just to run Logic

I mean, I’ll consider pro tools, but eh, I just know logic and logic is easy for me

[hearty stone]

[full fossil]

hi

[acoustic arrow]

Hey can anyone tell me if getting a better gpu for esports titles like valorant will make a noticeable difference? I'm thinking of pairing something with a ryzen 5 7600x cpu for 240(maybe even 360) fps gameplay but am wondering whether getting a card like 3070ti will be overkill and instead get like a rx6500 and instead upgrade the cpu to like a ryzen 7 7800x3d? What makes more sense ?

[fresh stag]

hi

[acoustic arrow]

Oh so even though it isn't gpu intensive it would make a difference ?

[unkempt bluff]

Target Resolution?

[acoustic arrow]

1080p

I basically only play esports titles ,heaviest being fortnite ?

Oh I just threw that name out there randomly. Originally I was looking at the rx7600 but again I have no idea how much it would impact valorant on low settings 😂

[full fossil]

hi

[acoustic arrow]

Hi indra

[honest sky]

HI 😄

[mint abyss]

What am4 CPU has the best price to performance ratio in the used market? Is $50 for a 3600x realistic?

[cloud tendon]

guys I wanna buy a gaming laptop i live in Germany but most of them have QWERTZ keyboard

which websites can I buy from that let me choose

[tawdry vessel]

no ones here gonna help you. everyone is here for their own selfish reasons. thats been my conclusion about this server

[devout pasture]

thats right 3 years ago

[devout pasture]

wasnt the case in 2020

every one had free time

[gilded quest]

That's one way to look at it

[craggy rose]

Our own selfish reasons can be, lack of time, not knowing the subject of the question, not having a great answer to the question, the subject can be so technical that would need a lot of back and forth messages, and etcetera.

If your question wasn't answered, that's fine, so many questions don't get answered

We are not AI

[night heron]

probs the ryzen 5600

i wouldnt invest in anything older than ryzen 5000 unless youre on a very slim budget

[tawdry vessel]

ahh yes... here comes the flood of responses from a bunch of you after being ignored since day one.

[craggy rose]

?

[mint yacht]

Yknow, it's best to talk shit about the server in other servers

[stone aspen]

hi

[cloud tendon]

lol

i only ask here because they always help me

[north escarp]

Anyone else see that Lil asic fan the other day watching the server vid? Wheres that channel lol, isn't that why they made the disc?

[cloud tendon]

the zephyrus g14 2024 costs 600 usd less in the usa than in germany. Is there anything I need to worry about if I order from america other than the different chargers?

[calm swan]

warranty

[cloud tendon]

you're right

[calm swan]

import fees maybe

[cloud tendon]

but if I ordered the german plug and the laptop seperately

it wouldnt fry my laptop would it

[full fossil]

no

[cloud tendon]

will I have to pay import tax

[full fossil]

yes most likely

[cloud tendon]

ooh then its probably gonna be the same price 💀

maybe thatswhy it costs more actually haha

[restive lion]

thats what the power brick on the cable handles fwiw

[calm swan]

yeah just grab it from a german retailer

dont have to worry about import fees or warranty

[cloud tendon]

oooh okay

[full fossil]

this

[cloud tendon]

yeah what if my friend from us comes to visit in june and conveniently buys one with money I sent him before he came 😂

[devout pasture]

I was talking shit bout this server in the PCMR and they said they would mute me

[cloud tendon]

they only have QWERTZ

what other eu countries have normal eu plugs but with international keyboards

[sonic path]

Hello

[craggy rose]

The differences are really slim, you might as well just change the layout in windows

[golden robin]

Sup

[mint abyss]

just getting my 2nd pc up and might run some games on it. it has a b350 mobo so im limited to 1000-3000 series ryzen am4. currently using a ryzen 5 2400g+1050ti which has 200 fps in valorant. im just wondering if a cheap 3600x is realistic at $50 and maybe boost valorant fps to 300

[night heron]

yeah you could probably find a 3600x for $50

seeing as the 5600 can be had for $80 new on aliexpress

which b350 board is it? it's possible that you could use ryzen 5000

[mint abyss]

an old one, don't remember, will look into it tomorrow

question

extracting some files from winrar causes glitches

like no volume or not opening

how do i fix this

[cloud tendon]

no bro

the differences are big

; " , ,<< .>> all these symbols are completely elsewhere on QWERTZ

• i dont like german words and letters on my keyboard

That wouldn't hurt that much your typing speed

[craggy rose]

and then you got the most yellow crooked teeth. thats what it would feel like

[dawn plank]

try something else than winrar like 7zip

[craggy rose]

🫥

I have yellow teeth

[heavy steppe]

i think we can all agree that the people at adobe are slimy disgusting scammers

[ionic raptor]

Try extracting without drag and drop, sometimes it doesn't move the file properly

[prime crest]

i was reccently asked

PSN just killed 90 percent of their playerbase

[idle nymph]

It's an old pic too, it's now at overwhelmingly negative

[pure knoll]

I'm really sad to be honest

The game is so good, I hate ps more than windows ong

It does not deserve the On review it has

[idle nymph]

The amount of meme on that is crazy too

[idle nymph]

We all are

I can't believe I have nostalgia for a game that came out 4 month ago

[pure knoll]

They are going to remove it, but that doesn't fix the scars which is the rating and the opinion

[pure knoll]

W quote

[idle nymph]

Not sure man

[idle nymph]

I'll change my negative review if it's removed, the opinion and reputation of both the game and arrowhead is fucked now though

[warm sluice]

dude, i feel you bro, i'm stuck on windows 11 right now, i'm waiting for a wifi card form intel to arrive, once i get that, i'm going to move to linux as a daily driver on my laptop XD.

i used arch for 6 month, as much as i love linux, and i love my freedom and such, i hate not having wifi and needing an ethernet cable 24/7 or USB tethering with my phone.. i went back to windows but i'll go back to any distro the moment i can escape XD

i share your hatred towards microsoft lmfao XD

[pure knoll]

[warm sluice]

"we don't care enough about our regular users"

[zenith grotto]

the tool just reinstalls the apps ;-;

bruh

[warm sluice]

"pay for windows Pro Workstaion, and it might work"

ah wait

i think i might actually have a solution, try reinstalling windows 11, fr, maybe restart the machine and try again? i feel like the repair tool must've done something more than just installing again the app.

[idle nymph]

Oh but they are partly to be blamed

Pildsdet admitted it were their fault the PSN thing was not so understandable

can someone review this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XFH6fy

[harsh quartz]

Ergo chairs are meant to be comfortable?

[alpine gale]

If you get the right one for your body / use-case, yes. Rather, they're meant to force you into proper posture. Might feel a bit stiff at first, but your back / arms / legs / neck will thank you years later.

[harsh quartz]

I’ll take my gamer chair

[alpine gale]

"Gamer" is just a marketing term to appeal to certain demographics. There are plenty of "gaming" chairs, keyboards, mice, etc. that are all ergonomic in nature.

It's easier to carry around

we just work in one are called will call, we just wait for customers to come to the warehouse and we load out thier furniture

so no need to carry the chair around

[mint abyss]

quick psu question: I'm searching for which psu cable provide power to the GPU, google and multiple threads say the 8pin goes to the PSU and the 6+2 and 6pin goes to the GPU. My 530W cheapo PSU doesn't have a 8pin that goes to the PSU, the cable that labeled as "PCIE graphics" is a 6 pin, it does provide 6+2 and 6 pins on the GPU side. Is this normal? Can this PSU power my gtx 970?

[graceful burrow]

Yes

[grim belfry]

at least buy something comfortable

[vapid smelt]

[full fossil]

Mandatory hello to all of my tech tip buddies

[wraith sonnet]

It's basically god tier for Linux gaming. The weak link is basically proton bugs

[harsh quartz]

I can’t speak for the Linux side but it’s definitely not always great on windows. Also, MSI claw

[wraith sonnet]

Claw got a major patch that basically no one acknowledged

[vapid smelt]

gn did in the news recap

[harsh quartz]

GN acknowledged it. It’s better, still not as good as the zen versions

[wraith sonnet]

That's MSI's fault though, putting a A300 equivalent in the damn thing was going to be a disaster.

[harsh quartz]

It’s fine, it’s just not reliable enough with either newer or older titles, just the ones in the middle that they’ve gotten to

The fact that it’s still getting updated along the lines of “well, these games are playable now” is telling. It tells that 1) development is still going, and that’s good, but 2) that it still needs a while for that development

[vapid smelt]

[warm dust]

Private?

[manic torrent]

yeah, obviously, sheesh, airlines are not flying directly over my house at low altitude and high speed

[wraith sonnet]

Honestly if it were Dank it would be completely justified.

[warm dust]

1500ft sounds very low. Surveying radar planes for the oil sands fly at 3000ft. That's the lowest acceptable flight level I know of

[grim belfry]

Did you get an investigation sent back to you?

[manic torrent]

yes, it is very low. and very fast

[warm dust]

A lot of 8-20 seat twin engine planes fly here. That's what I imagined when I read your response lol

Yeah pretty fast lol

[manic torrent]

Upon investigating the aircraft activity for the date and time you reported, I found that the
aircraft of concern was conducting flight validation checks. The checks were conducted by
the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). CASA regulates the safety aspect of Australian
aviation. Low-level flying is an essential part of these safety exercises which are required to
maintain a high level of air safety at the aerodrome. These flights are conducted by highly
skilled pilots and can occur from time to time as you have experienced it.

[grim belfry]

Good ol’ CASA

They’re a pita to deal with

it's really just that they were DIRECTLY above my house

[wraith sonnet]

You know I wonder if it was to deal with people buying licenses out of their region to get it cheaper but they forgot that PSN is still not rolled out properly

[manic torrent]

No, it was idiotic execs at sony

standard late stage capitalism trying to leverage the popularity of the game to bring people to PSN with absolutely no fucking idea of the outcome

Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.

We’re still…

Hear me out though, someone from Britain saving a buck by buying the japanese/indian license does affect things. I'm just saying there may have been alternative motives that were more half baked

[glad trout]

They gave in

Sony gave in

[manic torrent]

yes, that is what we're talking about

[manic torrent]

extremely unlikely.

[glad trout]

You know we won right?

No more psn requirement

[manic torrent]

you did not win.

We did

[gilded wharf]

Ape together strong, GAMERS RISE UP

[wraith sonnet]

Hell, think about someone going from Saudi license pricing to the Chinese License price

[glad trout]

They are removing the requirements

[gilded wharf]

GAMERS RISE UP

[manic torrent]

yes, but that's not what winning looks like

[glad trout]

I mean

It's a good step

[manic torrent]

"we are learning what's best for PC players"

no, it's the literal bare minimum

[glad trout]

Oh I k ow Sony is a scummy trashbag

But something is better then nothing

[gilded wharf]

I feel like us achieving our goal of removing the PSN requirement counts as winning... since we accomplished our goal

[glad trout]

A win is a win

We got the requirements gone

That was our goal so

If they screw up again it can happen again lol

[gilded wharf]

We rise up again

As true GAMERS

WTF is wrong with windows/my pc

file explorer is so disgustingly slow

[manic torrent]

User error

[gentle slate]

https://i.imgur.com/6ZnOqUp.png It just shows this.

Windows cant even do a fucking copy anymore without throwing a fit

[harsh quartz]

Was it Sony or steam that removed it from those countries? Cause the one I read earlier said steam removed it

Steam is also offering refunds to people in the affected countries

[manic torrent]

It's worse if it was steam tbh, because Sony were about to make it not work on those countries.

[pliant merlin]

Before the backtrack, Sony had effectively removed it from said countries, Steam was just preventing more sales and offering refunds basically

It only became a problem when Sony altered their own documentation from optional to mandatory, otherwise Steam would not have had it listed for sale in those countries. But they backtracked, so hopefully it'll be relisted for them soon

[harsh quartz]

I heard about the removal and refunds before the Sony announcement. I’m not 100% sure of what order things happened in, but I have a tickling suspicion that steams actions might’ve pushed Sonys hand

[gentle slate]

Steam

[pliant merlin]

That is why the devs/community suggested negative reviews/refunds cause Steam is generally very good about that sort of thing

[gentle slate]

AFAIK valve pulled it from there.

[harsh quartz]

That’s my understanding too. I think steam took the initiative on this one and pushed it in the right direction

[gentle slate]

Or I might be wrong idk helldivers seems like a mess. Never bought it

[pliant merlin]

Yeah cause technically Steam had no obligation for most of the refunds, they did it anyways. Despite some problems I do love Steam for what they do

also I actually love Helldivers 2, for me its a blast

[harsh quartz]

Steam is by no means perfect, but they usually try to protect their reputation, and that usually means doing right by customers

[gentle slate]

We respecc valve. Gaben <3

[manic torrent]

helldivers is an awesome fun game with good developers. This is all on sony

[pliant merlin]

I love Valve, they generally do try to do the right thing as far as I have ever seen. I'm hoping people also remember the people at Arrowhead also fought for us ye

[harsh quartz]

I feel so bad for arrowhead, having a potential GOTY and then this happens

[gentle slate]

Ic. Suck fony then

Are arrowhead the helldivers devs

[harsh quartz]

Yeah

[pliant merlin]

ye they are, they're good people, made a game that has brought so many people together for better or worse

[harsh quartz]

My main issue with helldivers is a 40$ game shouldn’t have micro transactions or battlepasses. But to each their own, and people like it so whatever

I’ll just stay away

[alpine gale]

If it only does this when trying to open "Quick Access" in File Explorer, there's likely a file in your "Recent" list causing it to choke.

[gentle slate]

Eh. If they continue pumping content I'm fine with that.

[pliant merlin]

You can get anything in Helldivers without paying extra except like a cape basically

[gentle slate]

So the recent list is garbage. Roger. I'll see if it can be disabled.

[harsh quartz]

It’s a moral thing, even if it’s a good battlepass, a 40$ game shouldn’t have a battlepass

[alpine gale]

Nah, the Recent files list is actually nice - however it's parsing broken / missing files is garbage.

[manic torrent]

none of that is necessary whatsoever

[gentle slate]

Mfw the windows file explorer has the same quirks my homebrew file explorer has

[pliant merlin]

Anything you can get with the credits you can get just by playing though also LOL

[harsh quartz]

Still just not a fan, even if it’s not necessary. Like I said, I’ll just avoid the game and move on

[pliant merlin]

[gentle slate]

So what I think happened is it added the half copied file there after I canceled.

And then it went nuclear trying to find the end of pi.

[eager notch]

I tried downloading more wam but now I'm getting a WAM error

[harsh quartz]

Deditated wam?

[alpine gale]

That's because you didn't download the Dedodated WAM. Undedodated WAM is unstable.

[eager notch]

Damnit

[sweet jetty]

LMAO discord is making it so you can't sue them with arbitration 💀

[alpine gale]

I'm Canadian. Doesn't apply to me. 🙂

[sweet jetty]

Yeah fair, but it's laughable how they can pull that off

It's like you're excluded if you email our legal team in 10 days, but you auto agree if you don't

Anyone got experience with bismuth solder? I usually use Sn/Pb and Sn/Cu/Ag solder but I stumbled on Sn/Bi/Ag solder. It was the same price as Sn/Cu/Ag so decided to order that.

I personally dislike lead-free solder but curious to see what kinda result bismuth will do

[wise tundra]

Never let down, never run around and desert

[manic torrent]

Close to 100% of everything you have ever said is stupid trolling.

[full fossil]

hi

[grim belfry]

I refuse to inhale anything but lead fumes, personally.

[manic torrent]

And farts

[wise tundra]

Leaded solder do be amazing, but if I'm selling something, I can't use it

[grim belfry]

You follow the law more than necessary

[wise tundra]

For personal stuff I use leaded, or if I'm doing something for the gun range (the bullets are lead, so what does it matter if I use leaded solder). But for commercial use it's a bit more strict

[summer folio]

Please refrain from toxic behaviour like above, thanks.

[manic torrent]

I rest my case

[wise tundra]

The PCBs for my project will arrive in 2 weeks. I'm going to try out the bismuth solder for the main FPGA as it's in paste form, but for the rest of the components I'll be using regular leaded wire solder

Huh, where the flag disappear?
