[grizzled frost]

though bambu labs basically has a sale 24/7

[carmine yew]

Yup

Or bb

[grizzled frost]

400usd for a 256mm^3 printer with a 4 filament AMS is wild

3d printers are incredibly accesible nowadays

For most models, you don't even have to do anything, you can straight up pick a model off your phone, send it to the printer wirelessly, and you're good to go

probably 1 hour of setup and some minor tuning with the help of a youtube guide, and a 5 year old could print models without issue

Compared to just 5 years ago, such ease of use and cost of entry would be unheard of

And look at the availability of exotic filaments, you can print nearly anything with the right filament

[rose stream]

Yep, and the people around here who I've seen 3d printed merch stuff from were mostly basic Bambu users, using the model market or so to get models to print.
Very accessible these days.

[grizzled frost]

and the A1 will handle most exotic filaments admirably, might not be the best, but plenty good enough for the average joe who just wants to 3d print some kind of mount or little knick knack

ok 3d printer rant over, you get the point

[rose stream]

I'm honestly psyched that now we're getting actually more accessible metal printers and printing methods that are actually affordable and have reliable enough quality.

[grizzled frost]

the fact you can go buy carbon fiber filament and print on an A1 mini with it is crazy

[rose stream]

I'm just mega skeebed that 3 legislative state bodies have passed similar bills that basically sound like lobbyists are just trying to make things aggravating again on a near global scale.

[hexed tapir]

I still need to print a powder activated projectile launcher with my a1 mini

[rose stream]

Lol.

[split fog]

I keep getting a "disk write error" on steam....it's really frustrating

[hexed tapir]

Do people make 3d printable mini old fashion cannons

[rose stream]

Do they?
If not, I imagine someone will, purely just out of spite or something along those lines. Lmao!

[haughty compass]

Question, is it normal for fans to sounds like this when loading up a game? I have it set to quiet mode in the bios but it's so loud

[rose stream]

Does it sound the same when running them full bore?

[haughty compass]

About the same but a bit louder at max

[dusky flare]

should I get a ps5 pro for gta 6 or wait for the pc launch and get a pc

[haughty compass]

Question, what are used PS5 prices in your area? Are you gonna use the pc/PS5 for other games besides gta v?

Gta 6*

[dusky flare]

pro is like 1100 plus tax I have a pretty decent sized steam library and mostly gonna use ps5 for a few ps exclusives plus gta 6

I could also just get a used ps5 for 300-400

pc will take a big chunk of money especially in this market and I'm aiming for a 1440p system

[hexed tapir]

God I love the Internet

[jaunty apex]

Oh for fucks sake..

[split laurel]

What would give me a bigger fps boost at 1440p upgrading from 9070xt to 5080 or upgrading from 14700k to 9950x3d mainly play cpu intensive war sims and forza motorsport

[ionic ember]

gpu upgrade

depending on memory configuration

[grizzled frost]

the former

i wouldn't recommend either though

incremental upgrades are seldom worth it

[ionic ember]

yeah like, you're in a good spot right now

[grizzled frost]

i'd wait till next gen

at the minimum

[ionic ember]

I'm in a similar spot so I'm hunkering down and waiting for the next gen

[grizzled frost]

I have a 4080S and 7800x3d, so i'm waiting till next gen to upgrade

i'll probably upgrade to whatever the top dog AM5 chip is at the time, and a 6080/6090

[median warren]

I'm waiting 2 gens tbh, with 4080s and 14700k as well

[ionic ember]

4070 Ti S and 9950X3D here

when a 25% uplift is 4090/5090

[grizzled frost]

we're basically in the same spot

[median warren]

Yes we are

[grizzled frost]

7800x3d vs 14700k makes like no difference for me at least since i play in 4k

[median warren]

I play in 1440p

[grizzled frost]

i'm so GPU bottlenecked that the CPU doesn't really matter a whole lot

[median warren]

So I'm happy to wait 2 generations

[grizzled frost]

about every 2 gens is what makes the most sense imo

[median warren]

Yeah a bit of a different story for me

[ionic ember]

dude a 12600k won't bottleneck a 4080 a lot of the time, CPU bottlenecks are a little overstated

[grizzled frost]

yeah, 4k is about 2x the amount of pixels as 1440p

[median warren]

I went from 3070 to 4080 super so it was really good uplift

[vapid ibex]

This is me

[grizzled frost]

Like CPU's do matter even after you've gotten past the point of a "bottleneck" but it's minimal

[split laurel]

Its my 16th birthday soon and my family combined wants to get me money or something big and in total I can get a 9950x3d or sell my 9070xt and get a 5080

[grizzled frost]

like if i upgraded to a 9850x3d tomorrow, i'd see like 1-2 FPS improvement even though i'm already not CPU bottlenecked

[grizzled frost]

Save the money mate

[ionic ember]

what's your monitor situation like?

[split laurel]

I have a 1440p 320hz mini led

Ips

[grizzled frost]

go buy a 4k QD-OLED and revel in the beautiful inky blacks of OLED, and the stunning image quality of 4k

[ionic ember]

^

[grizzled frost]

MO27U2 is usually a good deal

(definitely not biased as i'm using it RN)

[split laurel]

Lmao

[grizzled frost]

you can find it for like 600usd usually

4k, 240hz, 27in, QD-OLED

[split laurel]

32inch or 27inch?

[grizzled frost]

27in, hence the 27 in the name

[ionic ember]

yeah that's a solid price for a 4k OLED

[split laurel]

Fr they use to start at like $1,000

[bronze summit]

Beo my heart sank

I thought i got scammed till I read the corner 😭

[ionic ember]

my friend I have no flippin clue what that is

[bronze summit]

https://tenor.com/view/gaming-racing-meme-funny-rotating-chair-gif-25258918

[ionic ember]

oh word

[bronze summit]

yea

[ionic ember]

nah for real what is it

[bronze summit]

Wheel and Pedal Bundle

[ionic ember]

oh tight

[spring quail]

Nice

I got a wheel and pedals recently, it's definitely fun.

might get a stand for them at some point so it's not permanently attached to my desk.

[steel umbra]

☠️ i thought it would die down

[deep musk]

I hope it never dies down

[deep musk]

Cute

[spring latch]

time to try the new windows insider build on unsupported hardware =]

[steel umbra]

well i presume it’s better than eating two boxes of pain killers at once

challenge

[deep musk]

Or a tide pods

[steel umbra]

or cinnamon challenge

might as well breathe saw dust

btw beware if someone is vaping here, make sure to not use cheaply made vapes with reactive metals

or vapes that overheat

and especially especially check what the vape liquid contains

[shy arch]

or just dont vape

[steel umbra]

vape liquid is still regulated in most countries by what is non carcinogenic or bad for your digestive system

you can eat cellulose but you cannot breathe it for example

[jaunty apex]

Ok definitely my PSU. Put it in this second PC and it shut off as soon as CACHYOS booted. How does the raidmax 400XT beat a Corsair RM850

Spent an hour putting this thing in for almost nothing

[solar moat]

what realy wants AVX10

[hexed tapir]

I really want a ac130

[steep raptor]

Fr

[snow mauve]

lol, i remember the spice challenges.

idiots didnt realize the cinnamon wasn't just about the spice/burn, but that it instantly clumps up and tries to suck all the moisture out of your mouth/tongue and people feel like they gagging

[haughty compass]

Was putting a ps4 controller back together but cannot for the life of me figure out where this part came from... Does anyone know?

[supple heath]

this is what im finna talk about

oh snap my xmp got disabled after flashing bios version 😮

[gaunt spade]

yea fuck that psu

[midnight wind]

What's wrong with it

Looks cheap I might need one

[gaunt spade]

dont buy it

it will blow up

[sinful cobalt]

icl that looks like a model kit part that just broke off lmao

[formal sonnet]

Either it's not part of the controller, I I cannot locate it with a quick skim of the iFixit guides.

[golden urchin]

Hi tech chat. I am back again about my PS4 Pro. I believe a pc case with external cooling as well would be a good step into it, but I dont need a huge ol case for just the motherboard (and PSU obv). Does anyone got the size of the motherboard?

[gaunt spade]

what

[golden urchin]

Im trying to start a new project.

[gaunt spade]

right

[golden urchin]

My ps4 pro at this time sits at 70-75c just idling. Even with a good cleaning it didnt make much difference. So I want to help the temps. I know that a good thermale paste replacement might work, but I want to do more

[gaunt spade]

so you didnt change the thermal paste

by good cleaning do you mean fully inside

[golden urchin]

Yes

[gaunt spade]

cuz ive changed thermalpaste and it been silent on multiple consoles

[gaunt spade]

just change the thermpaste it will be silent

[golden urchin]

Ok, well, I still want to make a unique ps4pro.

Just a housing swap doesnt seem enough

Again, a project I want to work on

[gaunt spade]

idk how effective will a housing swap be

[azure topaz]

just not really worth it, but if you do link the video ig

RIP GALAX o7

their HOF cards where impressive

[woeful phoenix]

Do you think japanese idols could raise a small army to take over a nation?

[snow mauve]

odd question

[sinful cobalt]

NOOOOO

now im tempted to grab a HOF 5070 because thats all thats left on taobao

[prisma adder]

Learned this is the wrong way

Don't do my mistakes

[clear canyon]

idk how you even managed to do that

its a one way bracket for most of them

[prisma adder]

I was tired

[clear canyon]

lol

[prisma adder]

Also I need to wait for ram before installing it

I need a new screwdriver kit also because my bits won't until the psu cover and the brackets

[marble hemlock]

im dipping my toe into linux just give me an os and dont say ubuntu someone plz help

[native path]

mint

[marble hemlock]

love

[native path]

or cachyos

[marble hemlock]

its a bumb ahh thinkpad

i3 10th gen 8 gig ram

[clear canyon]

poo

[prisma adder]

This is my kit which is cooked

[marble hemlock]

i only bought it to try out linux was £60 out of a local tech shop on clearance so i snatched it up

[prisma adder]

I think I'll just order an all black ltt screwdriver

[steel umbra]

nooooo

palit is aass

like their cards are cheapo, but they still do stuff like plastic backplates, cheap feeling shrouds (nitpicking), not so high quality stock paste and pads

like understandable for base/cheapest model cards but it’s not much better on higher end

[sinful cobalt]

i want a 5070 hof now

[steel umbra]

i want to buy storage

or my wallet to get 2.5x bigger

[sinful cobalt]

i mean

its not much but whatever

[steel umbra]

i want

you live in heaven

[gaunt spade]

280usd for 2tb is absolutely bonkers

[steel umbra]

it’s sgd

[gaunt spade]

what

[sinful cobalt]

i paid 250 for the 970ep not 280 btw

[gaunt spade]

still alot

[gaunt spade]

new?

[steel umbra]

250sdg is 167 euros

[slate egret]

https://computers.woot.com/offers/corsair-vengeance-32gb-ddr5-6000-memory-3?ref=cnt_wp_0_0

crazy deal

[steel umbra]

it used to be 60% cheaper

[gaunt spade]

ah sdg is currency my bad

[slate egret]

😭 twin we are in ramagadon

[gaunt spade]

sad that this is a crazy deal

[slate egret]

Yeah I got a kit for 199 happiest day of my life

[steel umbra]

i’m not buying ram until it comes under $100/32gb or $140/48gb

[gaunt spade]

same

shitty ass prices

i really need ddr5 tho 🥀🥀🥀🥀

i sold 128gb right before ramagedon

[steel umbra]

so many datacenters didn’t make a dime in profit so i believe once the major dram and nand players kill of their consumer customers, datacenters will stop buying as well

which may cause the cartel to collapse

[gaunt spade]

🙏🙏🙏

[steel umbra]

or they’ll just reduce production even more

[gilded imp]

nothing will

if they collapse.. who is going to make the chips lol

[steel umbra]

by collapse i mean they get selfish

and the effective monopoly and cooperation collapses

or a regulation gets slapped on them

[gilded imp]

its always going to be a triopoly

theres 3 companies in the whole industry

[steel umbra]

cxmt is ramping up

[sinful cobalt]

we need cxmt to start mass producing the shitbin usable ram

[steel umbra]

1 dram chip sold at $30 better than 3 dram chips sold at $10 each

if they cooperate they all get the most optimal profit

[plain cypress]

Sony needs to get off their asses and remaster some PS4 exclusives for pc

[steel umbra]

i like sony for their sensors

[gaunt spade]

sony needs to hire me

[formal sonnet]

If they hire you, I trust that you'll ensure they never suffer a data breach again?

[sinful cobalt]

nah they’ll be gainin 69420 more vulnerabilities

[gaunt spade]

ill keep all the data on my ssds trust 🤝

no one hacking me

[formal sonnet]

Wait, how do I login to my Playstation account then? 🤔

[gaunt spade]

message me

[prisma adder]

Chat I’m going for it

[valid fiber]

2tb 🤷‍♂️

[prisma adder]

2tb hard drives

He’s got three

So six tb in total

[valid fiber]

for cold backups?

or what do you want to usae them for?

[gaunt spade]

games

[prisma adder]

Renders and stuff

[stark flicker]

Can't you just buy one or two bigger

4TB available with redundancy is not that great

[prisma adder]

Okay tell me where I can get it for $50

[stark flicker]

You are paying 50cad for the three?

[prisma adder]

Yes

[stark flicker]

Oh, well then yeah that's great

[prisma adder]

Yeah that’s what I mean sweet deal

Although the drives are from different years so idk

[stark flicker]

It doesn't matter, what matters is how much they've been used but at this price...

You'll install them in your main desktop or a server?

[prisma adder]

Main desktop

[stark flicker]

Any redundancy?

[prisma adder]

In my proart pa401

[prisma adder]

I don’t believe so unless you count my psu suffering

[stark flicker]

Do you care about the data on them?

[prisma adder]

Yeah

Here’s my stuff https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dshn7w

[stark flicker]

Then you should do a software raid

I strictly have no idea how it works on windows since I'm a Linux guy but I don't think it's really hard

[prisma adder]

I shall figure that out

I also want to dual os a bit but not sure about it

[stark flicker]

Go for it

[prisma adder]

Alright I will

[stark flicker]

That was an easy convert lol

[gaunt spade]

rich bomboclat case

[prisma adder]

Rich?

[stark flicker]

well usually proart stuff are super expensive

[gaunt spade]

idk arent the proart cases like 200$

[stark flicker]

I see them for like 115eur

[prisma adder]

I got mine for $180

[gaunt spade]

yea expensive

[prisma adder]

Went to Canada computers for it

[gaunt spade]

180cad?

[prisma adder]

Yeah I’m Linus’s neighbour

[gaunt spade]

guess its not as expensive as i thought

[stark flicker]

so you live in a big mansion ?

[prisma adder]

Not that

I meant same province

Different city

[stark flicker]

yeah that's impressing considering basically every proart product are super expensive

[prisma adder]

This build has taken since 2024

[gaunt spade]

ive only had one proart product and it was a b650

[prisma adder]

Just need ram and gpu then it’s complete

[stark flicker]

I have a few pc that have been going on for a decade lol

Upgrading piece by piece

[prisma adder]

Me: unemployed but still using any scrungeable cash or income

[stark flicker]

And with 3 gaming computer and one server it's quite something to upgrade things

[prisma adder]

Eventually I wanna build a server of my own once I get my own place

[stark flicker]

All you have to do is cross the street to find a job

[prisma adder]

First I have to stop getting declined

[stark flicker]

(it's a joke you won't understand)

It's a french joke

[prisma adder]

I have only volunteered at three places

[prisma adder]

French usually are

[stark flicker]

Our president told this to a random guy in the street that was saying he was unemployed lol

[prisma adder]

Ah the Cheeto?

[stark flicker]

It became a running gag

[stark flicker]

No, the french one

[stark flicker]

tbf with context it's pretty funny

With my friends whenever we talk about finding jobs we say this lol

I'm changing job right now, I told them "yeah I just crossed the street"

[prisma adder]

My ass realized I gave the American link and not the Canadian one

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/dshn7w

[stark flicker]

So you lack ram and gpu ?

[prisma adder]

Yeah

[stark flicker]

And you've been building it since 2024 ?

Keep your 50CAD for them

[prisma adder]

Well I bought ram

But returned it on the day of the crisis

Because my friend told me I could get it cheaper online

[stark flicker]

wtf it's 1433$cad a 5070ti ???

[prisma adder]

I should’ve kept it

[stark flicker]

i hope you broke his legs

[gaunt spade]

rip

[gaunt spade]

i wouldve

[prisma adder]

No

He’s my best friend

[stark flicker]

I fought a few times with by best friend when he started f*ing my sister

[prisma adder]

Well at least he loves you both now

[stark flicker]

Also, do you really need 64GB of ram ?

[prisma adder]

64gb or higher

[gaunt spade]

😭😭😭😭😭

[stark flicker]

true lmao
(he's been with her for like 16y now)

[prisma adder]

I do gaming, game development, video editing, and unreal engine.

[prisma adder]

Oh well at least he didn’t shovel and sprint away

[stark flicker]

Well you should start with 32GB and increase later honestly

Because right now you don't do gaming, nor video editing nor nothing lol

[prisma adder]

I have games and stuff to edit

So yes I do

[stark flicker]

But you don't even have a pc right now

[prisma adder]

I do

Just need ram and gpu

[stark flicker]

Will you buy them soon ?

[prisma adder]

Possibly when I can get them

[stark flicker]

oh wow cad to eur is almost /2

[prisma adder]

Might get ram and use intergrated graphics for a bit

Then get gpu

[stark flicker]

You don't have one on the 7700x no ?

[prisma adder]

I believe it does

[stark flicker]

oh yeah ok, i guess it's a new thing with the am5

I kind of stopped following pc components

[sinful cobalt]

all am5 chips have igpus unless theres “F” in the name

[stark flicker]

yeah okay thanks

[sinful cobalt]

same with intel

[stark flicker]

Speaking of AM5 I need to buy a 9800x3d to replace the 12600kf in the living room

(well, the 12600kf will go in the office room and I will replace the 9600x there with a 9800x3d and put it in the living room)

Just because mh wilds is the garbagest garbage ever created

[native path]

"I need to buy a 9800x3d"

[stark flicker]

Yeah I can't live without it my life depends on it

[sinful cobalt]

ur fault for wanting to play mhwilds XD

[stark flicker]

lol yeah i'm a mh fan 🙁

[prisma adder]

Did y’all see this deal

[sinful cobalt]

ive had friends try to convince me to play mhwilds

[prisma adder]

Wrong link

[sinful cobalt]

but simply i told them the graphics look noisy as fuck

[stark flicker]

My main gripe with mh wilds is that it's GREYYYYYYYYYY

I have a lg oled 77g5 and play in 4k hdr

The game is litterally grey without any contrast

[prisma adder]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/AToIkC9v7J

[sinful cobalt]

@native path maybe i should check out the harvey norman close to my house

i believe the items there are cheaper compared to standard but idek if theres anything interesting to me there

[stark flicker]

Btw

Are there new cpu coming out soon ?

I want the 9800x3d, but maybe there will be soon something new, or maybe there is already something new ?

[native path]

i remember there was a harvey norman next to my house then they just got rid of it im so mad

@sinful cobalt grab messed up my order gg

[sinful cobalt]

noob

[quasi field]

What a deal!!

$100 more than the 9800x3d rn

Literally 324$ cheaper than the V2

[frail sequoia]

Got cachyOS to work

[stark flicker]

Is that seriously the default wallpaper lol ?

[frail sequoia]

Nah

The default is the default kde plasma one since that's the desktop environment I chose

[stark flicker]

yeah ok

I would be embarassed having an anime girl as my wallpaper in public lol

[frail sequoia]

I have it set as a diff one rn, its just a placeholder as im trying to find a good wallpaper but I have no Internet in college rn

[ocean axle]

_ I have anime girls on my workstation (at work), and have for years_

plural: the image has two

[stark flicker]

I don't do wallpapers

[frail sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/gamba-anime-waifu-despair-gif-13194790255955567085

[stark flicker]

I don't have any wallpaper or desktop

[sinful cobalt]

insert that meme of chinese dude having anime girl as his wallpaper while he’s supposed to be doing a presentation

[stark flicker]

lol

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/angelina-gilberta-arknights-endfield-cute-gif-10287523737689143680

[frail sequoia]

So its a terminal like ms dos

[stark flicker]

yeah kind of

[valid fiber]

why?

[torpid sinew]

.. oh my god. the PSU CPU cooler is real.

[ivory mountain]

W unc

[unkempt ravine]

yo, is there any way to make audio, on linux
not absolute garbage?
mainly the interface, fucking sucks

like on windows, just click, done
on linux i feel like i have to set several different channel up, just so i can get my headphnes to actually run

[ivory mountain]

Easyeffects was okay when i used it

[unkempt ravine]

easyeffects
aight
ill give it a shot when i get home, cheers mate

[frail sequoia]

Guys I dont think i should be at 4.06ghz

[serene python]

?

[spring quail]

That CPU has a boost speed of 4GHz, nothing unusual

[deep musk]

Linus did recommend it in their last video so

[slim mauve]

hey people, how common excacty is a motherboard bottleneck? for my 2k pc build im planning on getting a 9800x3d and a 9070xt but i dont know what mobo to paird with it, any reccomendations?

[gritty panther]

no such thing. just make sure you have all the "features" you need. m.2 slots, ethernet etc. the cheapest motherboard will perform the same as the most expensive motherboard. it wont magically increase FPS or anything

as an asrock owner. just dont get an asrock board. stick to Gigabyte or something

[slim mauve]

thank you, also would you happen to know how important memory latency is for performance?

[gritty panther]

not so much with a 9800x3d

[median warren]

Probably go for like a x870 chipset or something

They usually look cool and have all the features you want and need

[gritty panther]

I remember gamers nexus making a video. they put the shittiest DDR5 they have on the 9850X3D

[median warren]

Including some extras

[gritty panther]

it didnt really matter. was it gamers nexus? i dont remember. one of the youtube guys

[slim mauve]

in my current region there is about 100bucks difference between a cl36 and a cl30 kit, is it worth it to get the lower latency?

[gritty panther]

again. not with a 9800X3D

[slim mauve]

okay, thanks

[gilded harness]

X3D cpus are awesome they don't need really fast ram, its nice to have them tho but geT whatever u can get

[gritty panther]

3d v cache is magic /jk

[sinful cobalt]

no

[slim mauve]

god save x3d

[gritty panther]

afaik Intel's next gen chips has even more l3 cache

MOAAAAR CASHH err CACHEE

[slim mauve]

lol

[gilded harness]

they are locking in

cant disappoint nvidia

[gritty panther]

270k plus was already pretty amazing tbh

[slim mauve]

also do you guys think the 9800x3d would pair well with the 9070xt?

[gilded harness]

ya

[gritty panther]

it's alright.you can buy upto a 5090 with the 9800x3d

that cpu is beef

[slim mauve]

bless

thanks lads

[gritty panther]

I personally didnt like the 9800x3d. I bought it and returned it after 3 days

[slim mauve]

why?

[gritty panther]

felt like it was too expensive for an 8 core. it just didnt feel right

(upgraded from 13700k)

returned it for the 9950X3D lol

[slim mauve]

what price difference?

[gritty panther]

it just felt wrong losing cores and having slower MT performance and it's supposed to be an upgrade

[gritty panther]

so small right now. 9950x3d is on sale

[gilded harness]

lol

[gritty panther]

from 699.99 to $560

[gilded harness]

yk what

5800x3d is the most expensive 8 cores here

[gritty panther]

supot

[slim mauve]

dam, sadly not in my region

[gritty panther]

🙁

[median warren]

What is your region

[slim mauve]

ill consider it as an upgrade path though!

[gilded harness]

literally anywhere i go i see pcs with either 9800x3d or 7800x3d but not 5800x3d

it really went extinct 🥀

[gritty panther]

it's getting relaunched soon

[slim mauve]

eu

[gritty panther]

I actually want one. I have a spare ddr4 kit lol

[median warren]

By the time you need to upgrade there'll be much better CPUs than 9950x3d

[gritty panther]

I wish it's 199.99. instabuy for me (5800x3d relaunch)

[slim mauve]

fair enough yea

[median warren]

Ah okay

[slim mauve]

tbh im doing a MASSIVE upgrade so im already really haooy with the 9800

[gritty panther]

9800x3d is all you need tbh if you're just gaming

[slim mauve]

the ryzen 5 2600 served me well but its time to go 🙏

[gritty panther]

ill take it jk

[slim mauve]

lol

[gritty panther]

im waiting for 5800x3d relaunch

if the price is right ill get one

[gilded harness]

in worst case im going to upgrade from 5600 to 5500x3d if 5700x3d/5800x3d isnt available anymore even at relaunch for ryzen 10th year anniversary

which is 💔

[gritty panther]

5600 is fine tbh

still decent for gaming

[sinful cobalt]

Same here, used 9800X3D for a year and honestly, with me loving a shit ton of things open the 9950x3d and 265K were amazing CPUs

[gritty panther]

dont get me wrong I probably didnt need the cores. im just a filthy gamer but it just didn't feel right lol

I went to 9950x3d launch with 9800x3d box on hand. returned/exhanged it for one

I was in line at microcenter for like 2 hours? lol

[solar moat]

r5 5500x3d is not good to get if you allready got r5 5600

[deep musk]

@median warren need a truck? https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DXlmL3rv1yN/?igsh=dTduNTJsbzM0MnE5

[solar moat]

lol thats a small truck

[median warren]

I'd love a truck right now

I could transport all my shit

[solar moat]

i wonder if i can fit 3 of thoes in back of 797 truck

[bold kindle]

seems like old CPUs struggle with very high FPS

what is the best CPU for AM4?

[gilded harness]

either 5700x3d/5800x3d or 5900x

[sinful cobalt]

honestly its just personal preference- overkill or not is your decision

good thing about 9950x3d is that is that ccd0 seems to be a 9850x3d or equivalent bin

[gritty panther]

ol reliable 5800x3d or 5700x3d

[gritty panther]

9800x3d makes sense but I didn't like it at all. follow your kokoro/heart lol

I ended up buying cheap 96gb ddr5 because of 9950x3d purchase (269.99). so I kinda profited from it but im not the type to sell so not really 😄

I figured double the cores "deserved" more ram. returned my 48gb kit for a 96gb one. shouldve kept that 48gb 6000 cl30 it was only $130 back then lol

[grizzled frost]

more ram more better

[gritty panther]

not at current pricing.

they were very cheap 12-13 months ago. no one really knew what was coming

[grizzled frost]

yeah that's when i bought my 96gb kit

[gritty panther]

no one cared that it was cheap for the most part. I was expecting it to be even cheaper tbh

[grizzled frost]

that 330usd kit now goes for like 1200usd, if you can even find it in stock

[gritty panther]

I honestly thought I was being impatient

bought my 96gb kit for $269.99. I was sure "cheaper" 128gb kits were coming soon

[grizzled frost]

i had extra money in my budget and the big ram number was funny

[gritty panther]

welp that didn't happen.

wanted 2x64gb but decided I couldnt wait anymore.

phew got lucky that I pulled the trigger

[grizzled frost]

2x64 happened then shortly after ram prices went to shit

[gritty panther]

yea. didn't got the chance to get cheap like 2x48

wonder when this will happen again?

in 2-3 years?

[grizzled frost]

i need ddr4 ecc prices to go down, my servers need ram!

[gritty panther]

are we mroe fkd than I think?

[grizzled frost]

Hard to say, it's basically whenever the bubble pops

[gritty panther]

hopefully in this decade

[grizzled frost]

Hopefully

[gritty panther]

fuck AI

https://tenor.com/view/allen-iverson-shimmy-dance-wiggle-basketball-gif-5020182

not you Allen iverson

[grizzled frost]

I miss when AI was just a fun tool for kids to cheat on school tests with, now it's in fucking everything for no reason

[gritty panther]

AI is cool. but not THAT cool.

[grizzled frost]

Exactly

[gritty panther]

it's not worth overpriced tech sh

[grizzled frost]

now everything remotely similar to the concept of "AI" has been renamed "AI" too

[gritty panther]

it needs to go

[grizzled frost]

like machine learning has now become "AI"

[gritty panther]

annoying

it's like facebook killing the word "metaverse" for me

😆

when they kept saying it I removed it from my vocabulary

[solar moat]

NOOOOOOOO

[grizzled frost]

when are companies going to realize the harder they try and make a word common place, the more likely it is to fail

[gritty panther]

it's just cringe af! lol

im a big nerd and im tolerable with cringey things

but that's too much even for me

[grizzled frost]

it's like the people who still say "on fleek"

sometimes the BS work training videos i have to do add in stupid "trendy words" and it's painful everytime

[gritty panther]

English isn't my first language. I would never even try to add that to my vocabulary

[gritty panther]

english is already super complicated as it is. no thanks

takes a lifetime to master tbh. especially if it's not your native tongue

[grizzled frost]

English is hard to learn because it's really like 5 languages trying to convince you it's only one

[gritty panther]

I only learned by watching a lot of cartoon network and nickelodeon growing up

oh ya and video games

[slim mauve]

Thatll get memory prices down

[gritty panther]

😆

[gritty panther]

I have a BUNCH of ram. I dont want that tbh jk

but seriously I want it to go back to normal too

Intel's 250k and 270k plus is actually amazing. RAM pricing is kinda ruining it

[slim mauve]

For the greater good man

[gritty panther]

I watched a lot of 9950x3d2 reviews. it's a good ad for the 270k plus if you ask me

[slim mauve]

Idrk much about intel tbh

I'm a big team red guy

[gritty panther]

would've been a way bigger deal if fast ram wasn't expensive.

[gritty panther]

I was an AMD fanboy back in the day. I regret everything

[grizzled frost]

Just an FYI, calls for violence are against ToS and server rules

[gritty panther]

these corporations all equally suck tbh. they dont care about you

[slim mauve]

Shit

[grizzled frost]

I know you're joking, but it's still ill advised

[slim mauve]

Why?

[slim mauve]

Oh ofc

[tranquil wharf]

I'm a big fan of good products, whoever makes them at the time

[gritty panther]

corporations are fkng evil that's why

[grizzled frost]

i refuse to fanboy any brand (other than ubiquiti)

[slim mauve]

Definitely fuck AMD

[gritty panther]

dont be a fan of any of these fkers. they dont deserve it

[slim mauve]

Im not a fan, I just think that give good value

[grizzled frost]

I just buy whatever product makes the most sense for the money i'm spending

[gritty panther]

just buy what's the best in the market. not the brand/label on it

[slim mauve]

Ofc yea

[grizzled frost]

and where possible avoid brands that make poor humanitarian decisions (like supporting child slavery)

Though often times it's unavoidable

[gritty panther]

I honestly hate most companies/corporations

only one I can think of that I genuinely like and believe in is maybe costco and trader joe's

what else do I like? lol

yea the list is short

[grizzled frost]

I try and support local business where possible as well

[gritty panther]

this is the way. benefit of the community too

[grizzled frost]

I'd rather spend a bit more and support a local business than support major conglomerates

granted not everyone is in a position where they can choose to spend a bit more

[gritty panther]

same. Im more forgiving with pricing if it's a local business.

[grizzled frost]

within reason though, some local business prices are insane

[gritty panther]

it better be worth it.

[grizzled frost]

As much as i love local businesses, i'm not spending 2x the price for a comparable product

[gritty panther]

some of them are really good so it's fine. I like food

Im always talking about food lol

😆

[grizzled frost]

I love when you can taste a meal is homecooked

[gritty panther]

one rule of mine: the food I buy should be better than the food I cook at home

[grizzled frost]

one of the few major businesses i genuinely support is waffle house, they do a great job of supporting their community

[grizzled frost]

YES, this is why i rarely get steak from restaurants, i almost always can do better at home for less

[gritty panther]

ribeye at staterbros is like $28 for TWO big ones

I literally just had steak yesterday. yum

it's super expensive in a restaurant. I cook it better too!

I did it a little "asian" yesterday. oyster sauce, adobo powder, salt, pepper, msg.

it was bomb 😄

[stark flicker]

I always do better

We have an insane butcher's shop (does that exist in the us ?) near our house and the meat is so aburdely better than anything I've seen in a restaurant

[grizzled frost]

Yeah same, there's a local butcher that has some phenomenal cuts for less than you'd pay in a grocery store for a worse cut

[gritty panther]

I like my beef at costco or staterbros

[stark flicker]

Well mine is quite expensive, but yeah insane quality

[gritty panther]

costco is more of a hack. you buy a really big one for like $150 (ribeye)

then you cut and ziplock/bag it up in the freezer

I usually just buy from staterbros for like $25-30

[grizzled frost]

Kinda depends on the exact cut you get, sometimes they'll get in some american or australian wagyu and those cuts are expensive

the local cuts are super reasonably priced

[stark flicker]

such an american thing to say from start to finish lmao

[gritty panther]

im actually an immigrant 😄

I grew up in south east asia

yea American beef is gud

the way we do steaks in south east asia is trash

[stark flicker]

Ours don't buy anything not local

In france when we go for quality/expensive food usually it will always be local, not forcefully saying our stuff is better but I think it's a cultural thing about food

[gritty panther]

it's a million times better here. I probably cried the first time I tasted a "real" steak.

maybe 12 years ago lol

[grizzled frost]

95% of the cuts are local and labelled as such, they do occasionally get in some out of town stuff as more of like a special

[stark flicker]

What I meant was that it's such an american thing to go to a super big store for anything haha

[gritty panther]

this is new for me. Im used to going to the wet market in the philippines lol actual butchers

[grizzled frost]

i could go drive down to the beef farm and pet the cows i'm gonna eat in a week if i wanted to

[gritty panther]

my parents actually sold seafood in the market. the butchers' always have pretty daughters jk

[stark flicker]

lol

[grizzled frost]

Feels good knowing the beef I eat was sustainably farmed and the animals are treated well

I can go see with my own two eyeballs that they're living better than some people

[gritty panther]

ive been americanized now. I've been here for 12+ years now im not even sure anymore. I havent been home in years

it's too hot and humid over there anyway no thanks lol

[stark flicker]

I went once in the US and the food was incredibly garbage almost uneatable

But I'm pretty sure there are somewhat good stuff there, probably, maybe
So it's a bit of a bummer to have such a bad experience

[grizzled frost]

Depends a lot on the area and the exact restaurant

[gritty panther]

the US is so big lol. socal/LA has amaizng restaurants it's so diverse here

[grizzled frost]

I can have a 5 star quality meal from a mom and pop shop, walk 30 yards, and have the worst meal i've ever tasted from another shop

[gritty panther]

Ive never had middle eastern food till I moved here. it's amazing

[stark flicker]

it was 15 days in the US
3 days in manhattan
12 in a family, student exchange thingy, further north out of new york

[grizzled frost]

go over one state and the food is entirely different

[grizzled frost]

Imma be honest, the north ain't well known for their food

[gritty panther]

Indian food blew me away. best fried chicken Ive had in my life. forgot what it was called

[restive plinth]

nvm you said fried chicken my bad

[gritty panther]

chicken masala something ahh

why was it so flavorful lol

[restive plinth]

Chicken tikka masala?

[gritty panther]

something like that! it was so bomb. im getting hungry just thinking about it

[restive plinth]

lmao yeah

I am not sure how good it tastes, but all my friends were saying it's amazing

[gritty panther]

I wouldnt think indian food = fried chicken normally but yea I was blown away

I guess it doesnt matter about the cuisine neither. a mean cook/chef and make great food whatever it is

[stark flicker]

yeah well
They wanted to offer me bread because I'm french
I was young and stupid, told them this wasn't bread lol, they got angry at me

Once at the school I ate some beef burger, I said "hey you guys made a mistake, it's not beef it's fish", turns out it WAS beef lol, just the most garbage thing there is in the world

Another time they bought me a "chocolate éclair" because I was french (again), this time I said nothing and was like "yeah, yeah it's good 🙂 " lol
The thing was like litterally 10 times the size of a normal one and was absolutely horrible

[gritty panther]

I got hungry lol. talking about food sucks

[grizzled frost]

Happens anytime a culture try's to mimic another culture

[gritty panther]

early breakfast brb (5am)

[restive plinth]

I should try out a lot of different cuisines
My options are severely restricted because I am a vegetarian but I would love to try out the limited vegetarian options available across the globe

[gritty panther]

indian food is kinda perfect for you. afaik a lot of them are vegetarian 😮

[stark flicker]

The cheese I laughed out loud when they showed me cheese, this shit was unaceptable, closer to freaking melted plastic in taste AND texture than any cheese i've seen in france
Don't make cheese and bread please lol

However, I think when you go towards the big texan steaks bbq stuff you start having good stuff
Pretty sure it's the only good food in the whole of america

[gritty panther]

yea gotta try new stuff. I was the same for the first few years I was in the US. I learned eventually to "branch out" lol

[restive plinth]

I am Indian-

And actually around 29% of the country is vegetarian, with a lot more people being vegetarian on certain days of the week. There's also some people who eat vegetarian inside the house but outside they eat whatever. It's complicated lmao

[gritty panther]

29% is a lot. crazy

I cant. I love steak too much

[restive plinth]

Yeah
In some places its close to 70% while in other areas it's like 1%

I am from that 1%

[gritty panther]

and cows are sacred for a lot of indian cultures right. I cant be indian

beef is too good haha

[restive plinth]

In some places, yes
but where I am from, beef is pretty common (buffalo meat, not female cows ig)

[stark flicker]

I always found it funny that we call it beef when it's always female cows lol
It's the same in france

[gritty panther]

Ive tried deer meat before it was surprisingly VERY good. was expecting it to be bad but I was wrong. never tried buffalo meat before

ayt im eating for real. talking about food makes me hungry irl lol

[restive plinth]

buffalo meat is also beef ig

[gritty panther]

brb

[stark flicker]

oh well in france we say "boeuf" which is the direct translation, and it's an adult bull that got castrated

precisely

[restive plinth]

ahh i see

Here in some places, cow meat is banned. Where I am from, there's no ban but the most common kind is buffalo meat.

[stark flicker]

I don't think there is a single buffalo in france lol, which is a bit sad

Red meat is almost always cow, otherwise it's game meat (no breeding, but hunting)

[grizzled frost]

pork and lamb are underrated red meats

[stark flicker]

It's not considered red meat here

[sinful cobalt]

mutton is elite

[stark flicker]

Oh yeah I think mutton is red meat here, but we don't eat that

ya'll, if your mobo has wifi built in, be sure to tighten up them antenna cables, ive always used ethernet thru those powerlines, but mines limited to 100mb/s - we recently got a new router and wanted to see the speed from my comp, was getting like 10mb/s 😭 of all the things, i tightened up the connector at the back even more, and now im getting 250mb/s (also go into driver settings and set wireless mode from auto to 802.11/a/n/ac else mine was defaulting to 2.4ghz until i switched it

Ma'am*

Also it's not a simple question at all

offen fastest/easyest way to get rid of pc for cache is selling to freind

[kindred halo]

How long did you own the parts? What'd you use them for? What're the manufacturers?

Every little factor matters

[grizzled frost]

go find a comparable build on ebay, and price it for around that or a bit less

[kindred halo]

5600x, 5060 Ti 16GB, and 32GB 3200MHz doesn't mean shit

That 5060 Ti could be from fucking Biostar for all I know

The 32GB 3200MHz could be 1x32 TEMU RAM at CL22

You could be running it all on an A320

£89 for something that looks like the least ergonomic piece of shit I've ever seen

[velvet mirage]

guys what do you think about a prebuilt AMD Ryzen 5 5500, AMD Radeon RX 5500XT 8gb, DDR4 16G?

[void eagle]

it's overpriced, the ergonomics fucking looks awful and it looks ugly as shit

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/thinkaboutit-think-kitten-letmethink-cat-gif-20342092

[deep musk]

The price might be to justify the steambox price

[void eagle]

nope it's gonna be $1000+

valve has lost the plot

[velvet mirage]

for 485€

[deep musk]

I meant that they will use the fact it cost 100$ and included with the box to justify the high price due to the ram prices

[void eagle]

if their shitty controller which should have costed at most $50 is basically $100, for literally NO reason because it's not like the tech is expensive
.... you can buy a TMR controller from 8BitDo or Gamesir for $27-30

[deep musk]

Convert that to CAD and I’ll be able to give you my opinion

[velvet mirage]

775.96

[deep musk]

Not that bad, is it one 16gb stick or 2 8gb or 4 4gb?

[void eagle]

this is how much the steam controller should cost max, and you don't even get a nice dock, you get a shitty piece of plastic with it

[velvet mirage]

i think is 2 8 gb

Ok, not catastrophic but not the best deal on the planet either

At bare minimum

Likely I wont be using it for anything else as I dont want to pay a bigger premium for something, would happily just wait

I was looking at a 12100F or something like that

yep 7900xtx

[deep musk]

Oh ok, you’ll be fine with the f variant

[oblique jay]

Though Im not 100% clear on the email intel sent me. Theyve basically said they can initiate the warranty, but then state if it's a tray cpu I need to go through original point of purchase. But then proceeds to list what I need to do (provide pic of cpu, details, address etc) & says a shipping label will be sent in one day

[deep musk]

Is it a tray cpu?

[oblique jay]

Yep

[deep musk]

Go to the original seller then

[oblique jay]

Why tell me theyre initiating a return, providing label & ask for shipping details then?

[deep musk]

Did you tell them it’s a tray cpu?

[oblique jay]

Seems like last step once you have verified it's a box chip

I mean, the receipt I provided for POP was obviously a prebuilt system

[deep musk]

The support agent might not have realized that means it a tray cpu, (the system builder, if it’s a “small” builder they might not have used a tray cpu, you should ask them

[oblique jay]

Not the whole receipt but

[deep musk]

Oh it’s from acer it’s 100% tray

[oblique jay]

Ik

Surely they know that too then?

But yeah Ill follow up before tearing the system apart

[deep musk]

Tell the support agent it’s a tray CPU and ask them if you should still send them what they asked you to send

[deep musk]

Might not have realized that, support techs aren’t always pc people, they can be random people following a support script

[deep musk]

How much is the shipping?

[ashen hearth]

0

And I can return them if after inspecting them they have any kind of problem. They were used by a company for 5 years but on a machine that wasn't always online

[deep musk]

might be worth the gamble

[ashen hearth]

Ok thx

They'll be delivered in about 1hr

[median warren]

I actually will

[distant frigate]

WHAT

T-Fiber might be coming to Rhode Island bruh

T-Mobile phone with T-Mobile fiber would be nice convergence

[boreal vine]

all 10 residents of rhode island would be happy to hear that

microsoft developers using SteamOS running Windows-native games through compatibility layers AS A BENCHMARK for their new Windows K2 optimizations is one of the funniest fucking things to happen thus far in this current iteration of the OS war

urgent question

is rx6900xt worth 250$?

found at a garage sale and owner says everything works well

[frigid blade]

seems googleable

[scarlet marlin]

People say it's good but lacks rt

[frigid blade]

at $250 it seems quite a bit below what it sells for used on eBay

so id say thatas a good price

[scarlet marlin]

aite thanks

[ivory mountain]

yeah

[scarlet marlin]

came in a 9060 3 fan box but eh

[deep musk]

you're sure it's a 6900xt then?

[scarlet marlin]

haven't tested it yet

I'll load up benchmark tomorrow

plus if anything I live 5 minutes away from the seller

[carmine yew]

.... I have spent plenty of time there and... no they wouldn't

[median warren]

😭

[ivory mountain]

lmao thats not a 6900xt

[carmine yew]

the 6900XT Wasn't a 16gb card

[ivory mountain]

yes it is

[rough salmon]

If someone can build me a pc list for uk that matchea steam machine accurate as possible I owe $5 to u when im paid

[carmine yew]

[ivory mountain]

[deep musk]

[ivory mountain]

[carmine yew]

just go browse builds and see what's up there

[ivory mountain]

[deep musk]

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/denuvo-drm-reportedly-fully-cracked-open-2k-apparently-fights-back-with-online-checks/ and yes between voices38 putting out a Crack for RE9 and hypervisor bypass denuvo is indeed wide open

[rough salmon]

First how much vram does the steam machine have

[deep musk]

(use google, discord isn't a search engine)

[rough salmon]

buddy i cba to go on google, why do u think ppl ask here

id rather ask yall than ai overview

[ivory mountain]

i tooooootallyyyy dont know about voices

[deep musk]

because people are lazy

(like you, apparently)

[limber nacelle]

its the same amount of effort?

[tulip sparrow]

With it using an amd apu we have no idea how much valve is setting aside for vram

[rough salmon]

so apparently the steam machine will have 8gb of vram, is that true

[rough salmon]

ah okay

how does this source even know if we dont now what the amd apu specs are

[tulip sparrow]

Been keeping an eye on that one and so far just the hypervisor bypass

[ivory mountain]

he dropped wukong yesterday or the day before

i am NEVER running hypervisor

[limber nacelle]

either way ur typing a query into a textfield and hitting enter

[deep musk]

oh? what's that you opened google? damn I bet it was extremely hard and tiering

[tulip sparrow]

Ok will take a look then in the usual places

[rough salmon]

fuckin hell yall take the rage bait hard

[ivory mountain]

"tiering"

[rough salmon]

i actually look on google haha, the people who just ask here are annoyin

nah i was bored, just got home from work wanted to see how annoyed ppl would get loll

[frigid blade]

people just call anything ragebaiting now

and its just them being stupid

[tulip sparrow]

That was one of a few I am waiting on so glad to see it and yeah i am skipping the bypass myself i have enough games I can wait on a proper crack

[tulip sparrow]

And that is called ragebaiting

[ivory mountain]

fuck this game is old

[deep musk]

If this is real, I'm the queen of England (I'm not the queen by the way

[rough salmon]

oh ur not the queen, holy shit who is

[rough salmon]

id rather play this than black ops 7

[ivory mountain]

perfect dark goated

[tulip sparrow]

Camilla? Unless I am mixing up royal family members

I am not British so may have things slightly wrong

[deep musk]

Yep

[rough salmon]

the royal family is meaningless in the uk now

[snow mauve]

what the hell is going on with intel

i wonder if it's this new gpu line they announced

[tulip sparrow]

RIP Desktop ARC gpus

[rough salmon]

is there an intel show on?

[tulip sparrow]

https://youtu.be/eLGIqya7g4o @snow mauve

[snow mauve]

well wall street is liking something

[ivory mountain]

i only game when my internets out and cant watch YT 😭 i legit just download shit for when it goes out

[clear canyon]

Yooo, same

[tulip sparrow]

I assume its the Pro GPUS?

[void eagle]

i just realized im in the 1% whos secondary monitor is as expensive, if not MORE expensive than their main monitor... because my secondary monitor IS the drawing tablet

which is pretty funny

[clear canyon]

I need to go and rat the pi on some new episodes

[void eagle]

https://www.xp-pen.com/product/artist-pro-22-gen-2.html

This is my 'secondary monitor' btw

[ivory mountain]

i rather just chill and watch youtube, maybe the occasional minecraft

i have spectrum so, the outages are what you imagine

[void eagle]

I found the amazon link and 699 GBP 😬

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Graphics-Drawing-Pressure-Sensitity-Illustration/dp/B0DQSDYQB7

Its officially more than my MAIN monitor

My brother spent all his money on a 5080/5090 and has a crappy drawing tablet despite doing game design and I have this because I invested the same-ish budget intelligently

I dont even do game design but I like digital art

[clear canyon]

Lol, my 3rd monitor was also a drawing tablet aswell lmao.

https://a.co/d/0fd82HIs

[void eagle]

nice

this thing is fucking massive so it replaced my secondary IPS monitor

both of them would not fit on my desk

[rough salmon]

my gf wants a wacom

[void eagle]

tell her to get an XP PEN Artist 22 Pro Gen 2 instead

[snow mauve]

yes sorry.

[void eagle]

Its basically just as good as a Wacom if not slightly better in resolution for WAY less

Cintiq will cost basically 2-3K and 1/3th the price or something (my math is bad) you can get an XP Pen that rivals it

[clear canyon]

Yeah urs is double the size of mine lmao

[void eagle]

this is NOT built poorly, its etched matte glass, a pen with 16K pressure levels

[gaunt spade]

🦧

[void eagle]

did you get it for drawing?

I also have an M3 13" iPad Air for drawing portably

[clear canyon]

Yeah and for some other stuff

[void eagle]

like what

[clear canyon]

Drawing in the sense for building out layouts for networks and stuff

IT stuff :D

[void eagle]

later this year I wanna pick up a Mac Mini/Studio so I can just run Linux on my PC for gaming and then use the mac for drawing and editing

I hate Windows that much

[clear canyon]

Nice

[ivory mountain]

fuck is this bro

[void eagle]

[rough salmon]

[gaunt spade]

what bra

[carmine yew]

you're trying to be edgy and shitposty and what not, but you're just really fuckin' bad at it.
Either get better or give up.

[deep musk]

And it fucking just stopped

I'm not the one failing at shitposting

[gaunt spade]

whatever u say

if youre happy

[carmine yew]

Well, so far you've garnered zero reactions, other than me telling you that you're failing at it.

So clearly you're doing a bang up job

[gaunt spade]

Currently writing bout proportional reasoning applications for scaling of objects (easy but very boring) so it's nice to see something with whimsy

thx

[snow mauve]

do you think it's overkill to have a small screen mounted to my office wall that just has my GPU stats?

[deep musk]

Yyayyayayaya

[carmine yew]

without a doubt yes, but why not do it anyways?

or get the Phanteks LCD and use that as a dedicated screen

[snow mauve]

how big is that

lol my wall is about 5 feet to my right. i culd watch news and stuff on it too. but im always tabbing into my gpu stats and think i can get a low cost screen for it

aaah i have something similar for my prox local console

[snow mauve]

just you

[steel umbra]

whyyy

[true adder]

Its 2026 why are people still calling usb c the "vape charger"

[ivory mountain]

because people who vape are subhuman pieces of low iq garbage and cant comprehend that USBC cables are the most used for portable devices now

[rough salmon]

apparently steam machine prices have skyrocketed, itll def cost around 1k now

i dont think its coming out this year

[restive plinth]

If it is, then it's DOA

[restive plinth]

(Dead on Arrival*)

[rough salmon]

yeahhh

theyll keep delaying till ram prices are good

cuz if they release anytime soon this year, itll fail

[restive plinth]

They should do that but then it should not be released close to helix launch

[rough salmon]

has productivity even started yet?

[gaunt spade]

great discovery

[rough salmon]

yeah tricky timing rn

if they release so close to project helix, steam will get competition

Steam should do nothing, they’ll win

[gaunt spade]

steam

[hexed tapir]

Who is steam I only know valve

[snow mauve]

they get attacked a lot

[vital gyro]

I think I just got my best deal at Goodwill. $4 for a Logitech G815.

I'm pretty sure it's selling for $200 brand-new at Best Buy, and like $100 used.
