[topaz veldt]

I don't really care what he has going on that's his thing, its just distracting as a video/audio personality

[lime salmon]

was the same for me when I got braces

[edgy laurel]

tbh it'll probably clear up with a little time when his mouth adjusts

[topaz veldt]

cool, you had a 16.5M subscriber YT channel?

[wise bear]

The molar pistons sucked because I couldn't chew a lot of things with my molars

[shell void]

yeah it’s a lot less noticeable in the short circuit tenz mouse video

[topaz veldt]

No doubt - but like... can't even right now

[frank cypress]

morning

I cant remember the last time I watched ltt ngl

[topaz veldt]

I watched it like 5 mins ago

and then turned it off too distracting for now

[mild sandal]

Not sure if it's a sign but they won't let me lmao

[merry stirrup]

smasnug

[mild sandal]

Lmao not only me. Just 3 days ago

[topaz veldt]

No one wants to buy a $700 4070 Ti Super

[shell void]

you forgot to ping vert

[topaz veldt]

lol you saw it too

doing my daily hws cruise

[pure garnet]

$700 for 4070ti super when 750 gets you a 5070ti is an insane ask

[topaz veldt]

its def puzzling

[edgy laurel]

i'm at work, in my office. a small white dog just walked past my door, stopped and looked at me, then kept walking

anyway

[pure garnet]

that’s the new boss

[edgy laurel]

same as the old boss

[fathom gust]

Is i714650HX with 4060 have this score is this valid

[frosty prism]

yes

[topaz veldt]

is it one of those "you can bring your dog" places?

[edgy laurel]

not normally. our owner occasionally does but this wasn't his dog

[topaz veldt]

weird

[arctic bronze]

It doesn't bother me tbh

[topaz veldt]

that's ok

[fringe vigil]

Snail do you watch Ricky and Morty

[arctic bronze]

Mick and Rorty

[gentle gale]

lol

[mild sandal]

Iv tried swapping to my laptop and I still get the same issue. Even without it, it's cheaper than the omen max

[gentle gale]

i'd 100% go for the legion then

[frosty prism]

i should 100% try to get the student discount

[granite dirge]

We won't get fooled again!

[frosty prism]

direct storage

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/o_hCwpWhihw?si=hlhptELQ2AwKb0hL

tl;dr pc cpu's are kinda fast, they do it just fine. its really helpful on consoles though

[topaz veldt]

watched it entirely years ago jorj

@fringe vigil

[fringe vigil]

Huggy wuggy from wish 😭

[frosty prism]

xd wanna guess why i said it

[topaz veldt]

... its mr meeseeks from rick and morty

[fringe vigil]

In only on the first season

Im

[topaz veldt]

he's in season 1

[edgy laurel]

were you watching that?

[frosty prism]

no i just saw it in my feed

[edgy laurel]

oh lol, so did I

[frosty prism]

wanted to see what people would say

[edgy laurel]

it was short so I watched it

[fringe vigil]

Im on the 4th episode

[frosty prism]

i am 100% sure it will be more of a thing but engines just are not made to really care the same issue dx12 ulti has

well rt

we are now after so many years seeing RT being built from the ground up and seeing the performance and looks that gives

[merry stirrup]

So. I've turned off quests since they were put into the client. This is the 4th ad for a quest theyve given me

whats the point of the fucking toggle if youre not going to listen to me

i dont want to play your bullshit ads

[frosty prism]

imagine loading into a game in a instant

[edgy laurel]

We still need it, or something like it combined with a re-write of game engines to eliminate loading alltogether. We have the raw bandwidth on hand with NVMe, its a software problem.

[frosty prism]

yus

[fringe vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/meeseeks-weird-rick-and-morty-gif-15310600193363500551

[edgy laurel]

why even most modern games aren't drastically different from a Gen3 or even SATA drive to a Gen5 drive. The code simply isn't written to take advantage of it in that manner.

[frosty prism]

the main issue with computers is just there is so much hardware

with a PlayStation 5 YOU KNOW they are using some good NVME or xbox

[edgy laurel]

you have to account for the game running off a HDD or a Gen5 NVMe, yeah

[frosty prism]

while with a pc there are people using fkn 20TB HDDs for games

[edgy laurel]

yuuuuuup

so game are packed and stored in a manner that is friendly to all

PS5 on the other hand us a few titles where game file decompression is hardware accelerated and there are nearly no loading zones

[frosty prism]

it would be nice to see something like in rust even if its not instant it should be better where you can toggle NVME and HDD

[wise bear]

have you seen season 8? the last ep just aired sunday

[wraith steeple]

I dropped it when Season 3 came along

[wise bear]

I've been binging it from s1e1 since yesterday

although I restarted s1 again because I like how rick develops

[wraith steeple]

The first two seasons were amazing but fell hard for me

[wise bear]

I need anime movie/show suggestions

[frosty prism]

me too

[vocal plume]

Tbf I dont even mind loading zones. Even on hdd its not even really that bad for most games

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/battosai-himura-gif-15745383408950821015

[merry stirrup]

rust loads moderately fast if you have a good computer

theres an "optimized loading" setting in the experimental options

ofc its not going to be super quick, but also keep in mind that the game is huge

[topaz veldt]

I have never played Rust

[edgy laurel]

that one missed our generation. i think we're better off

[topaz veldt]

yeah seems that way

[floral kiln]

Same

The long dark >>>>

[pure garnet]

i bought rust, installed it, realized i didn’t wanna get into it then immediately refunded it

[floral kiln]

🫡

[floral kiln]

Try getting into elite dangerous then

[pure garnet]

i have about 2 hours in the game

[topaz veldt]

i think i maybe got rust for free not sure

[floral kiln]

Wow

[pure garnet]

not my thing really

[floral kiln]

Wait

[pure garnet]

my pc basically only plays one game

[floral kiln]

Blud has 7 years nitro streak

[pure garnet]

yeah

[floral kiln]

Hmmm

[floral kiln]

💵

[pure garnet]

discord nitro isn’t really that expensive for the sake of not worrying about file size

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/wu-tang-gif-23580271

[mild sandal]

Contacted support. If I don't hear back by tax free weekend I'll just get it then

[floral kiln]

I only buy it cuz of emojis lol

And partially to support discord

Other apps are getting worse faster than discord does lol

[topaz veldt]

I don't even know if i have discord nitro

[floral kiln]

You do

[topaz veldt]

oh ok

[floral kiln]

Cancel subscription when?

[topaz veldt]

iunno

[floral kiln]

Wow

[wise bear]

you do, since last year

[topaz veldt]

sweet

[floral kiln]

You're wasting at least 2 RX580s a year

[edgy laurel]

Also Ark

[fringe vigil]

I hate Spotify

[topaz veldt]

what can i do with nitro

[floral kiln]

SAME

[floral kiln]

Send emojis from servers everywhere, upload large files and stream in full hd

[wraith steeple]

[merry stirrup]

they are maybe vaguely similar

[neat shuttle]

Send emojis from other servers if permissions allow to do so

[edgy laurel]

I have it specifically so I can upload 500MB videos here

[wise bear]

global emoji usage, filesize limits get bumped to i think a gig, free 2x boosts, animated emoji usage, more servers (?)

[floral kiln]

Nah the long dark has a style

[merry stirrup]

and its nothing like rust whats your point

[floral kiln]

If you need the more servers thing, you should spend money on therapy instead lol

[edgy laurel]

tbh since realizing Discord now supports AV1 video, I've noticed my file sizes for clips id share here are much smaller. yay AV1 being useful

[wise bear]

I added the (?) because I'm unsure about that last part you judgemental durian

[floral kiln]

[floral kiln]

Hmmm discord not trying to maximize profit???

[neat shuttle]

On the more servers some servers have additional stuff if you boost the server

[wraith steeple]

Imagine sperging out over how folks spend their money

[wise bear]

idk I just pay for discord because it's essentially the only social media I use- no facebook, no twitter, no insta, no snap, etc

[floral kiln]

Lol ig my power of triggering toxic people without doing anything still works

[edgy laurel]

I pay for Youtube because I don't pay for cable TV

[floral kiln]

We're doubling the block count boys

[wise bear]

[edgy laurel]

and I watch a fuck load of youtube

[wraith steeple]

[wise bear]

cringe but w/e dude

[floral kiln]

Around 12h per day here

[wise bear]

oh yeah, youtube & spotify too

[topaz veldt]

who is this dude

[pure garnet]

youtube premium is worth it because i value my time more than i value finding new ad blockers

[floral kiln]

?

[edgy laurel]

This. And chasing after fixes when they don't work/break something.

[wise bear]

^

[floral kiln]

Never seen an ad on youtube in like 1.5 years without paying premium.. Can't relate

[pure garnet]

like yeah when ubo alone worked fine i didn’t consider paying for it

[merry stirrup]

yeah im in a family plan

[pure garnet]

but student is like 8 dollars a month? and that’s not really bank breaking

[merry stirrup]

different devices, etc

[wraith steeple]

Also premium is Worth it over the 3-5 unskippable ads alone

[edgy laurel]

YT Red ❤️

[fringe vigil]

Spotify want you to pay to listen to songs full

[floral kiln]

Devices?

[merry stirrup]

?

[edgy laurel]

imagine, not getting music for free.

[merry stirrup]

usually im understanding but what part about that do you not get

[pure garnet]

also yeah i don’t want ads on my phone and im too lazy to sideload my app every week

[merry stirrup]

you cant install adblock plus on my xbox one

[pure garnet]

or setup whatever auto signing service exists for ios now

[merry stirrup]

or my phone

[wise bear]

Don't bother with trivio lmao, they're something special

[merry stirrup]

or my tablet

or my other phone

[floral kiln]

Nowadays it makes you pay to listen to a specific song lol. At least it does for me

[merry stirrup]

adguard home also doesnt work for youtube so

[neat shuttle]

What about downloading thats a premium feature too

[floral kiln]

Hmmm I wonder if pihole will work for that

[merry stirrup]

it wont

[wise bear]

It won't.

[floral kiln]

Sadge

[edgy laurel]

Also YT Music is included, as crappy as you might think it is

[pure garnet]

how will that help me outside

[merry stirrup]

and yeah

[neat shuttle]

I use amazon music i am not complaining i am not the one paying for it

[edgy laurel]

free is free

[topaz veldt]

YT Music selection is nice at least

[floral kiln]

I use it and I'm loving it 🤷‍♂️

[pure garnet]

yt music is fine but i meant pihole with cellular

[wise bear]

yt music is nice for the indie stuff you can't get on spotify

[merry stirrup]

adguard home is just a better version of that, if it doesnt work, basically no dns sinkhole will without a lot of fucking with the block lists and constantly fighting with it

youtube ad domains constantly change

because its individual ad providers

[floral kiln]

Hmmm idek much about that

[pure garnet]

yeah i can do all that fighting or i can just pay 8 dollars

[floral kiln]

Nah it's to fight ad blockers

[edgy laurel]

I use AdGuard in my desktop browser and the app on my phone. its pretty solid. I haven't looked at Home

[hoary hatch]

@floral kiln I disagree with your title

[merry stirrup]

i have adguard home setup for my DNS, i dont use an adblocking extension period

[topaz veldt]

I use ADSL

[hoary hatch]

I am the #1 Spotify hater 😤

[floral kiln]

Hmmm you have the right to do so ig

[merry stirrup]

all of the adblocking extensions are stupid

[floral kiln]

Oh wow

[merry stirrup]

quit opening tabs asking me for money

i dont care that you updated

block the FUCKIN ads bro thats it

[wise bear]

Fuck man I'm still on isdn

[hoary hatch]

Spotify is the worst app

[wraith steeple]

Pfft BBS is where it's at

[edgy laurel]

TBH AdGuard has been the least problematic I've ever used.

[merry stirrup]

yeah fair

but yeah no i just host it

[floral kiln]

Me who just uses a third party client:

[hoary hatch]

Also they ruined podcasting

[merry stirrup]

makes it easier for devices i cant do anything extension wise on

cause i dont think theres a single device i have that i cant pick its DNS

[hoary hatch]

Fucking faker
Claims to hate Spotify but still uses the service

[floral kiln]

Yeah no lossless and UI from a parallel universe in an app that's basically paid only

[edgy laurel]

And they had a beta for a Manifest V3 ready to go when ubo stopped working

[floral kiln]

I use yt music, not spotify

[pure garnet]

i don’t want to have my entire net on an adblock dns because i don’t want to deal with people complaining that stuff won’t load so i just use extensions

[merry stirrup]

and extensions are moderately harder to run on weaker devices, so it matters

[wise bear]

ubl works just as well imo, same dev but just mani v3 compliant

[merry stirrup]

mines good

[merry stirrup]

doesnt even block facebook

[floral kiln]

Yt music custom clients don't require separate ad blockers. That's what I meant

[merry stirrup]

you can also set it up so it doesnt auto set your server as the DNS

[edgy laurel]

Oh word, though I think i'm content now with AG on everything

[pure garnet]

no but youtube will throw a fit with an blocker rn

[merry stirrup]

not the DNS ones

[edgy laurel]

Are these public DNS servers?

[merry stirrup]

you run it yourself shawty

[wise bear]

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin-lite/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh?hl=en

[merry stirrup]

home as in homelab

[edgy laurel]

Oh, then not interested

[floral kiln]

Self hosted ig

[pure garnet]

yeah i don’t wanna self host a dns rn either

[hoary hatch]

Oh 3rd party YT client

Smh

[merry stirrup]

ld make you a public one 💀

[floral kiln]

Yus

[pure garnet]

trying to downsize the amount of computers i have going not buy more

[merry stirrup]

i think it would suck latency wise going across the country to me

[floral kiln]

Yt will block it then

[pure garnet]

i just use google dns because it's default on the google wifi router

[merry stirrup]

thats not how this work

[hoary hatch]

I don't know what my DNS is 🧠

[merry stirrup]

mines the adguard home then cloudflare's

as the secondary

[wise bear]

10.0.0.2 primary, 1.1.1.1 secondary

[edgy laurel]

whenever I run a DNS bench with that GRC tool, my ISP's DNS are always a step ahead of everyone else (google, cloudflare, etc..) for public name resolution

[merry stirrup]

10.0.0.152 or something as my pirmary idk

[edgy laurel]

so Verizon it is

[floral kiln]

Blud gets top 1% speed of all data stolen 🔥 🔥 🔥

[turbid locust]

Just saw a lowered Tesla with a duckbill and it was kinda clean?

[wise bear]

I've been manually setting IPs for critical stuff, works great for remembering

[floral kiln]

Usually it's your ISP's one unless you changed it

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[hoary hatch]

I think we use one dot but either cloudflare or Google work fine

[edgy laurel]

hot take. Model S with nice wheels and a little lower is a good looking car

[turbid locust]

99% sure it was a Model S

[pure garnet]

the model s is the only nice looking one they make imo

[floral kiln]

Is cloudflare still on top btw?

[hoary hatch]

I use pfsense

[pure garnet]

model 3 front end just looks stupid to me

[floral kiln]

True

[wise bear]

I wanna see an EV company make a fully electric kei truck

[floral kiln]

Model x:

[edgy laurel]

model s has some hips

[hoary hatch]

I know all the hardware in the router but I know nothing about the pfsense config

[floral kiln]

Smh looks like a car

[hoary hatch]

Same with our unraid server

[turbid locust]

DonutMedia made Ludwig’s Kei truck electric it’s pretty cool

[hoary hatch]

Spotify hate mentioned again

[wise bear]

Maybe beef up the subframe so you can carry more w/ the increased hp

...what about pto on an electric kei truck

god I love bodycam footage

[topaz veldt]

I am addicted to this channel because its mostly from down where i go

[edgy laurel]

👀 Ive been on a bodycam footage kick recently so this is perfect

[wise bear]

policeactivity lets gooooo

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

this one is my fav everything from $2M yacht theft to keeping undersized fish

[edgy laurel]

Fish and Game dont' f*** around

[topaz veldt]

not at all

people don't think they're real cops until they show up with M4s

FL just passed a law though that I don't agree with

[pallid marsh]

I would make a spare wheel mount for the front bumper to act as a extra crumple zone since it doesn't really have one

[wise bear]

Ooh, smart- but why not do a whole bumper in that case? You could build it to the subframe so you're transferring energy more down low

[pallid marsh]

Very true

[topaz veldt]

Wow these guys fucked up - they stole a boat from a sound/inlet that needs clearance from a brdige to pass lol

[wise bear]

LUL

I love how stupid like 95% of criminals are

[topaz veldt]

omg they opened the bridge for them wtf

[wraith steeple]

Some leaving behind personal info are the real winners for sure

[neat shuttle]

Accomplice??

[wise bear]

hands down my favorite flavor of bodycam footage is entitled people creating a massive scene and getting taken to the dirt/tased/PITted/etc

[topaz veldt]

no the cops did

they'd rather chase a $2M boat down than fix a $10M bridge i guess

[neat shuttle]

Fair

[wise bear]

Bridge damage requires state intervention- that's too much paperwork

[topaz veldt]

man this is sketch

[wise bear]

Cops need their exercise too, let them chase things down like a dog

[neat shuttle]

Id like to see that😂

[topaz veldt]

get em boys

[pallid marsh]

They should get torpedos

[wise bear]

Dude I saw this one vid of a beefy af + tall af cop body a fence section and carry on running like it was nothing

[topaz veldt]

they're trying to not owe the owner a new boat

[wise bear]

ok but that hull damage

[wraith steeple]

W MENA mother

[topaz veldt]

nah they're fine

[floral kiln]

Bluds have never heard of towboats

[topaz veldt]

bro has never seen how slow a tug boat is

[floral kiln]

And?

At least it's safe

[wise bear]

tugboats are literally the water equivalent of tugcarts at airports- low speed + insanely high torque

[topaz veldt]

you're not chasing down a 3000 hp yacht w/ a tug boat

[hoary hatch]

Ahh LTT video on lossless scaling is out

[neat shuttle]

It only a scratch and dent model now

[hoary hatch]

I wanna know what iGPU they tested it on

[wise bear]

lol

[floral kiln]

Oh I thought that boat didn't move

[wise bear]

kid thinks he's hot shit- don't even bother lmao

[pallid marsh]

Jet powered tug boat

[floral kiln]

🔥

[topaz veldt]

.... they're stealing a boat

[hoary hatch]

I mean Lothleth thaling

[wraith steeple]

[neat shuttle]

How many flips can the tug boat do

[pallid marsh]

At least one

[wise bear]

tugboat w/ jato rockets when

[topaz veldt]

they should have just thrown ropes int he props

[floral kiln]

But how did they approach it perpendicularly then? Their little boats would just get thrown around and maybe damaged

[wise bear]

props? for $2m I'd expect jets

[neat shuttle]

Tubing behind it when

[topaz veldt]

what?

[floral kiln]

More like mothless

[topaz veldt]

those are lik 35' boat with 800 hp lol

[wise bear]

oh an innertube

never heard it called tubing lmao

[topaz veldt]

yeah we refer to that as tubing

[edgy laurel]

I think of that as tubing as well

[wise bear]

tbf I haven't been since I was like, 9

[floral kiln]

Idk how to explain then. Put a long stick on the ground and try to hit its end perpendicularly. See what happens

[wise bear]

so if I did know that term for that activity it probably faded from memory

[neat shuttle]

I haven’t been i like over a year

[topaz veldt]

you have never been in a boat

[wise bear]

...god I haven't been camping in 20 years I hate this

[floral kiln]

I have studied physics though

[edgy laurel]

i used to do fun things as well

[wraith steeple]

Wish I had the time

[topaz veldt]

so the argument is that what exactly, 2000 hp of small boats can't move big boat?

[wise bear]

I've got a friend that wants to take me camping and I /really/ wanna go & get a whole little kit for tent camping & fishing at the lakes

[edgy laurel]

you know what seem fun but probably arne't? those big harbor tugs with the insane horsepower and z-drive's

[neat shuttle]

Currently camping right now

[topaz veldt]

so slow and they have such deep draft

[floral kiln]

Ugh you said the runaway boat was moving too so they wouldn't be able to connect to it like that. It had to stay still to be able to be moved that way. And if it was still, they could use a towboat

[wise bear]

You've got one of them fancy boats, right? Is yours equipped with one of those side-to-side thrusters?

[edgy laurel]

lol

[topaz veldt]

It did not have to stay still. I linked the video you can literally watch but here's the cliff notes

[topaz veldt]

bow thruster? nah

[edgy laurel]

bow and stern thrusters

[topaz veldt]

I got 3 engines so I can do weird shit

[wise bear]

THIS YES

[floral kiln]

I don't see a lot of water disturbance behind the big boat so no

[wise bear]

Oh based so you can like, invert left's rotation and spin around?

[topaz veldt]

stick to Rust or whatever

[topaz veldt]

I can split the 3

[floral kiln]

Man I'm really talking to 10 year olds

[wise bear]

neaaaat

[wraith steeple]

Doesn't matter

[topaz veldt]

This looks like it would be so fun for tubing

[topaz veldt]

and you can split 1/2/3 in F/R gear

[floral kiln]

Hmmm welp I'm still not sure you understood me but if you did, ig I am wrong

[edgy laurel]

If you're real fancy

[pallid marsh]

Bro failed to ping a mod role

[topaz veldt]

that's the split controls yup

[neat shuttle]

What is this

[charred lava]

Let’s not go at eachother over boats pls

Or anything tbh

[pallid marsh]

Fine we will do roller blades then

[granite dirge]

Jawa... Let's not go overboat.

[floral kiln]

Looks fine to me

[charred lava]

One of the best internet skills you can have is knowing when to disengage

[granite dirge]

You missed the opportunity.

[topaz veldt]

but sometimes you're stuck in gear

[edgy laurel]

The second is how to google effectively.

[floral kiln]

Pro

[charred lava]

Y’all getting me with the puns today

[wise bear]

Disengaging is one thing but it's also pertinent to warn other users of shitty people sooooo

[wraith steeple]

I remember my days of being fresh off the boat

[granite dirge]

I can't wait for twisted metal season 2...

[topaz veldt]

Derrogative term these days I bet

[pallid marsh]

The @ ain't pink

[charred lava]

It worked

[pallid marsh]

Oh

[granite dirge]

Also casually time to look at the price of ice cream trucks... For no related reason.

[pallid marsh]

[floral kiln]

Yeah because I'm a pro like you

[edgy laurel]

Anyway, this should break up whatever was going on. Discuss.

[wise bear]

have you even finished the sl plot

[edgy laurel]

Yep, take your time so it really sinks in

[young void]

sighs

[spiral quarry]

lol I just came across that on reddit lol.

[floral kiln]

60% keyboard says it all

[topaz veldt]

so you laugh....

[wise bear]

ok but I really like the keeb

[granite dirge]

No. I have not finished my second life land. It's still in progress

[pallid marsh]

Wonder how the mic sounds in the echo chamber paired with a laptop

[granite dirge]

But the heat and my job are slowing it's progress Peyton.

[wise bear]

like I don't hate it- it needs some sound absorption but that's about it from me

[edgy laurel]

Meanwhile, not a single comment about the laptop hanging upside down. Interesting.

[topaz veldt]

At work I had this weird desk setup and no room for a 3rd monitor so I took my HP Elitebook 2-in-1 thing, and I bent it like 270 degs so the keyboard was face down and teh screen facing out...

[wise bear]

riiiip

[neat shuttle]

This is PAIN

[floral kiln]

Ever heard of AI noise canceling?

[wraith steeple]

We used "boaters" in the MI Arab-American community towards folks who immigrated from the old country (Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, etc) or even first-third gen that heavily carried the old traditions

[edgy laurel]

Dude I do that now lol. the screen is closer to me

[granite dirge]

I mean control windows flip screen exists

[neat shuttle]

Yes

[edgy laurel]

@topaz veldt

[topaz veldt]

exactly

the only prob i realized is that the keyboard was like semi "air intake"

but whatever I hope it catches fire

[floral kiln]

Lol are you an alt?

[wise bear]

I feel like that's a term for a lot of overseas immigration- I know it's been used a lot in shows/movies/games

[granite dirge]

Ai is not the answer to everything

[pallid marsh]

Keeps the built in keyboard out of the way

[spiral quarry]

Wanting a new work laptop👀

[edgy laurel]

What purpose do you serve

[wise bear]

because we all know it's a viable method to reduce temps in laptops

[pallid marsh]

Pick one out of your collection

[granite dirge]

Cup holder

[floral kiln]

It's not an answer to anything really but still that's how this setup could work

[granite dirge]

But you suggested it?

[young void]

The lil bracket gets me xD

[neat shuttle]

No

[floral kiln]

[wise bear]

please just don't w/ them, it's not worth the headache, they've been like this since this morning

[floral kiln]

Suggested what?

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel a lot of people consider the joystick control "lame" ... like "automatic transmission" but fuggem its fun and easy

[edgy laurel]

I'd second not engaging with this user, they just seem to argue for sport.

[edgy laurel]

Big-ass boat, gimme the toys

[floral kiln]

Ok now I'm getting sure this is all intentional

[topaz veldt]

I'm sayin

[granite dirge]

Spark... I definitely feel like your the Calypso of the server in a good way.

[dark plank]

Hi everyone, I have a Sony Xperia Z model C6616 that turns on and shows the Sony load screen, but then the screen is on but it's blank. I called Sony and other places to fix it in Canada but I can't find anyone that can help.

[floral kiln]

Either that or people here don't understand 5th grade English

[topaz veldt]

Calypso red is my favorite

[edgy laurel]

I'll take that as a compliment?

[topaz veldt]

calypso

[granite dirge]

You have the power to grant anyone's wish. But can also drastically make it backfire.

[wise bear]

HOHH

[young void]

Could try to get into the bootloader but you'll need a video then restart the phone if it let's you or boot into safe mode or whatever options it gives you

[wraith steeple]

Perhaps, though in MENA disapora circles it was mostly a Detroit/Michigan thing

[granite dirge]

Calypso is a main character of the twisted metal franchise

[young void]

Still myte not work though I had a cricket dream deteriorat and no longer boots

[hoary hatch]

Preach this to silicon valley please 🙏

[wise bear]

MENA?

oh middle east>north america

[hoary hatch]

Why are there AI SSDs like wtf

[wise bear]

what

[wraith steeple]

Middle East and North Africa

[floral kiln]

Nah. All real tech people are stupid and this chat confirms it

[floral kiln]

Uhh AI HDDs with adaptive speed based on LLM outputs wen?

[hoary hatch]

Although machine learning noise cancelling is a genuinely great use of "AI"

[wise bear]

ahh ok

[edgy laurel]

warship is preventing me from reacting. ah well

[wise bear]

no its just discord because he blocked you

[edgy laurel]

Oh nice

[wise bear]

p sure he's blocked most of us because he can't handle being wrong

[edgy laurel]

Kinda awesome, actually. My blocklist is a mile long but I can't recall being blocked before. Special sort of someone.

[wise bear]

right?

[topaz veldt]

Y'all think they make a "smart' style of this lock?

[wise bear]

Why did my mind immediately go to "nice paint job on the shed"

im not 40 yet

😭

[neat shuttle]

That is nice paint

[wise bear]

off to ZTT he goes

[wraith steeple]

Welcome to the club

[granite dirge]

Word my power bar keys arrived and my new ltt water bottle arrived hopefully the 40oz fits in a cup holder better than the 64oz one

[topaz veldt]

New shed lol

[wise bear]

tuffshed?

[pure garnet]

is that a common migration

[wise bear]

it's where haters & stupid people end up

If you think tc1 is bad it's like tc-99 there

[slim pebble]

Pretty sure I’d get a speedrun ban if I went there.

[pallid marsh]

Shows that they are still here for me with the muted role

[wise bear]

LMAO EVEN BETTER

[topaz veldt]

Custom

[wise bear]

Ooh, nice

[wraith steeple]

They won't last a minute on Unreal Tournament VC

[edgy laurel]

@topaz veldt didn't you do just that lol

[wise bear]

I kinda want to replace my single-wide with a tuffshed barn cabin

[pallid marsh]

My first message in that server would go along the lines of calling him out for targeting and scamming children with the $100 PC part picker list and nzxt rent for life PCs

[slim pebble]

You’d join 5nail5 on the ban list in about two seconds 😂

[pure garnet]

i mean if you’re willing to pay 100 bucks for a parts list that’s kinda on you

[wise bear]

wasnt it like $250 for the dude to make a personalized video about why parents should buy their obnoxious child an overpriced pc, and use him for all the questions/building/etc

[topaz veldt]

I mean...

[fringe vigil]

WHAT HAPPENED

[topaz veldt]

I was sharing my PCS and their moderator got all upset and banned me lol

[wise bear]

thought the dude ragequit, turns out he was muted instead

[fringe vigil]

tf for

[wise bear]

being a twerp lmao

[slim pebble]

How dare you spend your own disposable income on a hobby you love?!

[wise bear]

I loved this story when you first told it here

[pallid marsh]

I'm salty you have 4 5090s let's ban snail

[slim pebble]

He only has three last I checked? 😂

[pallid marsh]

Idk how many he has it fluctuates to much

[slim pebble]

Or two planning on a third

[wise bear]

I kinda wanna do this stupid shit again

[edgy laurel]

cost twice as much as the 6x 4090's, can only get half as many

[pallid marsh]

Didn't the moderator link your photos to a different account on a different platform that shared the same user name as you

[granite dirge]

Well I got about 10 left on my shift. And got my and my mom's McDonald's order typed up for later. I'm feeling productive. How are you all doing today.

[edgy laurel]

driving home in 10, doing fantastic

[pallid marsh]

Can you get me a ice cream cone and drive it to Utah ?

[edgy laurel]

though I have to go brave the 95f weather

[granite dirge]

Same . Thankfully once I'm off work. My arm is coming off.

[edgy laurel]

at least the humidity is down

[granite dirge]

If I was going to Utah.... It would be in a apocalypse style mad Max convoy also ghetto blasting the movie theme song .. convoy.

[pallid marsh]

I'm battling my 95f weather in my works warehouse, and the dock faces the sun so when I go out to load customers furniture I bake to death

[edgy laurel]

this is just funny to read lol

[topaz veldt]

Lol don't have 4 5090s don't worry

[granite dirge]

I wear a silicone sleeve with electrodes in it ..under the arm... My arm is coming off it's too damn hot and sweaty

[pallid marsh]

puddle of sweat pours out

[wise bear]

lmao

[granite dirge]

Your not wrong

[edgy laurel]

gross

[wise bear]

stump sweat

[topaz veldt]

That was a user who did like a reverse image search and then accused me of stealing an image off the internet despite the account on the forum he reached and my account on this court being the same username...

[granite dirge]

Sussette 2028: girls are gross but now you know.

[edgy laurel]

dude fucked up

[topaz veldt]

It was a really aggressive maneuver down Wrong St.

[wise bear]

"nobody is this rich, including you"

[granite dirge]

Should have used the directional onto right road.

[pure garnet]

what’s with people and pretending to own consumer hardware lately

[wraith steeple]

Assuming ZTT disocrd is capable of basic research and critical thinking

[granite dirge]

I own consumer hardware..

[wise bear]

online clout, lack of parental attention, etc

[granite dirge]

Viola my consumer hardware lol.

I think you mean prosumer hardware kyoko.

[edgy laurel]

clean

What TV was that again?

[granite dirge]

Would be cleaner if I could fit it in the shelf. Guilty

[pure garnet]

no i just mean like owning a 5090 is not that difficult that you need to assume people are lying

[pallid marsh]

I own two TVs that had a MSRP of $2000 😎 https://www.tcl.com/us/en/products/home-theater/qm8-class/65-class-4k-qd-mini-led-qled-hdr-google-tv-65qm851g

[topaz veldt]

I got the 3rd, this is current inventory

[edgy laurel]

unless you wanted to go down the specialized SFF route, probably wasn't happening @granite dirge

[granite dirge]

I'll let you know when I get in bestbuy website

[pure garnet]

reverse image searching the pc photo is wild

[wise bear]

@edgy laurel

[granite dirge]

I'm like .. a mm off if I took the feet off.

[wise bear]

its happENING AGAIN

[edgy laurel]

doing the thing!

[pallid marsh]

are you using the tv speakers?

[slim pebble]

Figured it would be an Astral

[granite dirge]

Yeah

[topaz veldt]

No white astral yet

[wise bear]

I'll send you w/e new pretty renders I turn out

[topaz veldt]

Needed it for this

[pallid marsh]

Everyone we need to peer pressure Suzi into upgrading to real speakers she is using the built-in tv ones

[wraith steeple]

Even if they did you'd think when finding the username lines up with what they posted is enough to know it's legit....... I guess not

[granite dirge]

My neighbor above me is a 4 letter word starting with the 3rd letter of the English alphabet. That's not gonna happen sadly. But when I move oh hell it's getting turnt up

[fringe vigil]

whenm youre todays years old finding out george bush died in 2018 wtff

[wraith steeple]

Sr.

[fringe vigil]

i thought he was alive

[topaz veldt]

... you know there were two George Bushs right?

[pallid marsh]

Are they also phobic?

[fringe vigil]

oh

[pure garnet]

well no that picture may have came from a 5mall5nails so it was clearly stolen

[granite dirge]

3 if you count the beans

[topaz veldt]

lol ffs jorj

[fringe vigil]

ffs lol

[topaz veldt]

you're not welcome here, I told you

[granite dirge]

Dunno but they claimed I was playing videogames to the landlord they are banging when I was passed out asleep.

[wise bear]

..playing games is a complainable offense?

[granite dirge]

Allegedly at 3 am too loud it is

[merry stirrup]

i assume that means being loud

[wise bear]

lemme stay over for a week I'll drive those dipshits out of the city

[merry stirrup]

might be true

i hear distant yelling from your general direction

[granite dirge]

But I put them in their place by having someone take a photo of my Xbox account at the time showing it was offline for those hours.

[wise bear]

I'll install butt rumblers along the ceiling

[topaz veldt]

now they ahve your xbox account and abnned you

[merry stirrup]

my dad owns michael shaf

[pallid marsh]

Find the loudest CPAP machine in the market and hang it to the ceiling, I doubt you could get in trouble for that

[granite dirge]

The email literally read : dear -landlord- - insert screenshot- care to elaborate how I was sleeping and gaming ?

[topaz veldt]

everyone know syou have two accounts

[granite dirge]

A... Your not wrong .. b... I have accessed one since pre 2010 so I don't think it counts.

[pallid marsh]

Clearly you unplugged the Ethernet cable and played off line single player games

[topaz veldt]

thank goodness xbox is the only gaming platform

so there's no questions around that

[granite dirge]

My landlord is 74 he doesn't know

[wise bear]

aww cute, get on his good side with homecooked meals

first iter but damb this one's gonna be fun

[merry stirrup]

im scared

[granite dirge]

And sadly... The ltt 40oz does not fit in a cup holder

[fervent scaffold]

Ltt cup holder now coming to lttstore

[pure garnet]

how’s the vanguard @fervent scaffold

[fervent scaffold]

I absolutely love it

[merry stirrup]

coputer i thinkl

[shell void]

vcolor is pumpin out 8200cl38 rdimms for threadripper 9000

[merry stirrup]

but not 9k

[fervent scaffold]

I have tried ultra settings at 1440p on every game that I play and it wont go under 180fps lmao

[pure garnet]

i like the acrylic thing they did for the msi logo

[fervent scaffold]

Going from a 1080ti to this is weird

[fervent scaffold]

I like it too, I just cant be bothered to find out how to sync it

[pure garnet]

i already deleted the msi rgb software

if it wasn’t saved to ram i’d just have it in rainbow mode

[topaz veldt]

what gpu is the msi thing

[fervent scaffold]

5070ti Vanguard

[shell void]

my loins are ready

[topaz veldt]

nice android

[wise bear]

It do be perty

[topaz veldt]

(what is it)

[wise bear]

new iphone

[shell void]

iphone 17 pro max

[pallid marsh]

Still don't get why the flash is on the opposite side of the cameras

[wise bear]

NOT CENTERED VERTICALLY

I hate it fuck you apple

[shell void]

well these are just renders and i ai upscaled the images

[wise bear]

oh

[shell void]

im sure the lenses will be centered

[wise bear]

I fucking hope so

[pallid marsh]

Now I can't unsee it fuck you!

[wise bear]

no fuck youuuuu

on a serious note i need more gpu power

[pallid marsh]

I was happily blind to the fact it was not even

[shell void]

real

[pallid marsh]

Same waiting for the new super cards to launch

[wise bear]

back on my bs & I need more cores & opencl power

[pallid marsh]

Because I ain't spending $800 on a 16gb card I wait 5+ years to upgrade

[shell void]

you gonna hope for a $550 5070 super 18GB coopa?

[shell void]

👁️

[pallid marsh]

Why are you rendering arcade carpet?

[wise bear]

I used 69420 for a color palette seed and I really dig the lakeside autumn vibes it gives

plus gonna do some dof

[pallid marsh]

Or a cheaper $600ish 5070ti

[pure garnet]

5070ti is a hell of a 600 dollar card

[shell void]

maybe used in a year and a half

[fervent scaffold]

Just dont buy a vanguard like I did lmao

[shell void]

i expect 5070Ti-S to replace 5070Ti completely rather than 5070Ti remaining and dropping in price

[pure garnet]

is there even any reason for a 5070ti super

[fervent scaffold]

Way overpaid for a 5070ti just because pretty colors

[pure garnet]

5080 already sucks comparatively

if they do the same thing twice i’d be surprised

[shell void]

24GB is pointless on a 5070Ti if you only care about gaming imo, but itll push used 3090 & 4090 prices down

because itll be a new cheaper 24GB option

[pallid marsh]

5080ti/super better reach 4090 levels without ai bs

[fervent scaffold]

What was their original crackhead claim? 5060=4090?

With the ai shit

[pallid marsh]

5070?

[shell void]

5070 = 4090
(5070 with 4x FG = 4090 with 2x FG)

[pallid marsh]

Yeah 5070

[fervent scaffold]

Yep lmao

Thats what I was looking for

[topaz veldt]

beats a $700 4070 Ti Super

[fervent scaffold]

I havnt even tried framegen yet because Ive had zero reason to

Or any form of dlss

[topaz veldt]

ok that is not true

[shell void]

you should use DLAA if given the option

it looks better than TAA

[fervent scaffold]

Let me be honest

Idk what TAA or DLAA is lol

[wise bear]

temporal anti aliasing
deep learning anti aliasing

google these terms

[shell void]

DLAA renders at native resolution but uses the same machine learning assisted antialiasing that DLSS does

[fervent scaffold]

Ok

Well Ill have to try that out at least

But I still have yet to find a reason to use DLSS or frame gen

But I dont even have any real new triple A games on my Pc right now lol

Native 1440p maxed everything still nets me way over 100fps

And I only have a 180hz 1440p monitor right now so

[shell void]

yah 5070ti is gonna snore when working with 1440p in old games

[pure garnet]

monster hunter wilds is the only game that's really gotten close to maxxing out my card so far

[fervent scaffold]

I was going to try star citizen last night but it needed an update and I was going to wait for a 20gb update at 2am

Only game I haven’t tried with it yes

[pure garnet]

i could try the new doom again

[fervent scaffold]

Yet* and I have to give DCS a shot

[shell void]

doom the dark ages has the best dlss framegen implementation that ive seen

artifacting is less noticeable than cyberpunk and switching between the modes is seamless

[fervent scaffold]

Also, going from a card with no ray tracing, to a card that I keep setting ray tracing to max to see what its like, I havnt noticed any difference

Idk if its just the games ive tried, but I dont see a difference with ray tracing on so far

[fervent scaffold]

What gpu?

[pure garnet]

5070ti

[fervent scaffold]

Ah ok so same

What cpu?

[pure garnet]

7800x3d

[fervent scaffold]

Pretty certain that stomps on my cpu but idk AMD stuff all that well

I5 14600k is what I got

[shell void]

i wouldnt call it a stomp

[fervent scaffold]

I thought the am5 x3d cpus absolutely rip

[pure garnet]

aside from certain games the difference between my 12900ks and the 7800x3d are minimal

the gpu is going to be the limiting factor at reasonable settings/resolutions 90% of the time

[fervent scaffold]

I mean I feel like my 14600k is solid as hell, but I thought the am5 x3d cpus are miles better

[shell void]

not miles no

nothing available right now is "miles better" than a raptorlake CPU, things havent progressed that much since 2022

[strange lotus]

hey, im in need of a pc around 1200 if someone could help, im running a low spec pc and just want to make sure i purchase something that is worth the price, any reccomendations?

[fervent scaffold]

Ok so I know 13th and 14th gen intel cpus like killing themselves, but someone told me the other day that am5 x3d cpus are doing the same thing? Its the first ive heard about it

I didnt know to believe it or not

[pure garnet]

yes and no

the 7800x3d had exploding issues at launch

[fervent scaffold]

Sounds safe

[pure garnet]

the 9800x3d is dying in asrock boards a lot but it's fixed

[fervent scaffold]

Interesting

So not anything close to the 13th and 14th gen intel chips

That just die after a year if you dont have an updated bios, or undervolt

[neat shuttle]

Wasn’t that due to mobo bios isuses

[shell void]

13th/14th gen systems were unstable on older bios revisions due to being undervolted by default, and in some cases they degraded because of voltage spikes caused by a bug in their boosting algorithm

7800x3d and 9800x3d literally burn up and melt the socket and themselves

[pure garnet]

every single chip dying can boil down to bios issues since the bios has the voltage/current limits set

[severe helm]

GN did a head on interview with the CEO (or technical head) of ASRock at Computex in Taiwan

partly was PBO

implementation on their boards

[shell void]

we surely will not regret pushing chips to the redline right out of the box with several conflicting and loosely regulated boosting algorithms

there will surely not be any unforeseen consequences

[pure garnet]

the reddit tech review space as a whole is just a lot more forgiving to amd for whatever reason

[fervent scaffold]

I saw something on reddit the other day that had me scratching my head

I was trying to help a friend pick out a gpu, he has a 7700g? I think it was? And a rx6600. We landed on him getting a b580 just to boost his BeamNG experience a bit

[pure garnet]

when my vega was having issues in valorant with shutoffs and i borrowed a friends gpu to make sure the issue didn't exist, i was told that i should go buy a nicer power supply to fix it

just sold the vega and got a 2060

[fervent scaffold]

And he found a reddit post saying that it is absolutely not worth upgrading your gpu on the am4 platform because itll slow it down that bad

Because some dude was asking the exact same question with the same cpu, the 7600g? 7700g? I cant remember

It made no sense to me

[pure garnet]

people talk about am4 upgradeability a lot but like the entry b350 boards sucked and the cpus weren't great

but at least by the end of you got a compelling product to slot in i guess

[shell void]

r5 1600/1700 -> 5800x3d would be a lifechanging upgrade

but youd have to have thugged it out on a piece of crap processor for 5 years

[fervent scaffold]

Well he ended up buying the b580, and then right after that decided to build another PC so

Literally like a hour after he ordered the b580

[pure garnet]

wow pathtracing runs like shit

sub 70fps at 1440p dlss quality

[fervent scaffold]

I dont even know what pathtracing is

Wait isnt that a form of ray tracing?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[fervent scaffold]

Yeah im still pretty new to all of this if you couldnt tell

[shell void]

yeah kinda like raytracing but cranked up to 11 and immediately obvious that it's enabled

and as a result it murders performance

[pure garnet]

shut it off and the fps doubled with no change to image quality i can perceive

[fervent scaffold]

That would explain it

[shell void]

there's not really any colored light in that scene and it's dark overcast so it's hard to tell

[fervent scaffold]

I think thats what I enabled last night (path tracing) on automation

[severe helm]

Which OSD software is it?

[fervent scaffold]

And it went from like a solid 160-180fps to like 8

[pure garnet]

rtss

[fervent scaffold]

In the menu

[severe helm]

Jayztwocents also seems to use the same?

[fervent scaffold]

Lmao

[pure garnet]

150 at low

now im really using the 5070ti to it's full power

[shell void]

when colored lighting is involved the difference that pathtracing brings is night and day

[fervent scaffold]

Cyberpunk was like built around ray tracing wasnt it

Not necessarily built around, but like, is the poster child for ray tracing

[shell void]

naw it was built without rt/pt first

because it's a ps4 game

[fervent scaffold]

Oh I did not know that

[shell void]

but theyve put a lot of work into making it look good

[fervent scaffold]

Ive only really like, “experienced” ray tracing on forza horizon 5 and gta v enhanced, and couldn’t tell a difference

And I set everything ray tracing to max and saw like nothing different

I know those probably arent great games to try it with tho

[shell void]

i think gta 5 enhanced looks noticeably better than the vintage version

[fervent scaffold]

In terms of rt or just the game itself?

Because I can agree to the game itself vs the 1970s version, but in terms of RT i didnt notice much

[pure garnet]

someone made an "rt" reshade setup for 14 that just nukes the fps for oversaturated bloom

like this sucks

[shell void]

the raytraced global illumination adds a lot more color to every part of the environment, and DLAA cleans up jaggies very well without being as demanding as MSAA in the older version of the game

[fervent scaffold]

Maybe I should try it out more

See if I can get into it a bit

[static elk]

I've asked in the other chat but no one replied 😄 "" I've got this old macbook pro that I haven't been using for ages , I'm thinking to use bootcamp to put windows on it. When i get to windows can I delete Mac os partition somehow and then bind it to the windows one ? or do i need to make a clean windows install from the boot ? to make this happened ?

[fervent scaffold]

Because I tried it and didnt notice much so I just stopped

[pure garnet]

just save the bootcamp drivers to another usb

[shell void]

RTGI is the most noticeable part of RT/PT in every game that ive tried

[pure garnet]

then install windows like normal over the whole drive

[shell void]

i dont really care about sharp reflections on wet floor puddles or skyscraper glass

but environments having a lot more color, especially indoors is very cool

[fervent scaffold]

I feel like a better monitor would do me a lot also

Not that I have a bad monitor necessarily, but I only got it for xbox initially

Then I built a few PCs

And I feel like itd make a pretty solid difference with my current build

[static elk]

is there any extra uefi shits or some extra bootable files that i got to put in to the windows bootable usb ? to run it on mac

[pure garnet]

nah intel macs have norma uefi

[static elk]

thanks

[pure garnet]

just hold option at startup to boot off the usb

[static elk]

i'll give it a try tomorrow

is rufus on mac os ? maybe sorry for asking

[shell void]

probably

idk what you have, but most people don’t spend enough on their monitor

[fervent scaffold]

Ill find it one sec

[shell void]

it’s arguably the most important part of a setup because you look at it for the entire time that you interact with a computer

[granite dirge]

Welp ordered 4 burgers... They messed them up and didn't want them back... Guess I'll try to salvage the extra 4 when I get home later.

[shell void]

it's okay, but you could benefit from a much better display with a 5070Ti

[fervent scaffold]

I figured

I was thinking of buying a 4k monitor but $$$

[fringe vigil]

50 thousand people used to live ere, now it’s a ghost town

[fervent scaffold]

And maybe like a 32” instead of 27

[edgy laurel]

best line

[shell void]

32" 2160p 240Hz OLED is MINTTTT

[fringe vigil]

Best cod

[fervent scaffold]

Wouldn’t that be like $500 minimum from any brand lmao

[static elk]

got my self this new rog monitor with matt display isn't that bad tbf love the colours on it ,

[shell void]

yeah about $750 for an entry point typically

[fervent scaffold]

Yeah thats my point

Id love that, but $750, vs the $180 I paid new

Hurts my brain

[static elk]

ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS i think its this one

[fervent scaffold]

It makes sense, and I should get one, but I cant bring myself to it yet

[edgy laurel]

cheapest 4K QD OLED right now, but not 240Hz

[shell void]

it is a big investment but it's easily worth it

[fervent scaffold]

Im still hurting from the 5070ti vanguard purchase

[static elk]

check the one i mentioned above it is solid

[pure garnet]

nah but bootcamp can also make the usb

[fervent scaffold]

I just had to have it match loll

[pure garnet]

just don’t do the install through it

[shell void]

it's okay you can take some time to save up money for a 4th gen woled monitor in like 6 months

[fervent scaffold]

Ill just sell my second car

Thatll work

[pure garnet]

using my 5070ti on my 1440p ips display

👍

[fervent scaffold]

Exactly the same as me im pretty sure

Ill sell my second car for $500, then spend all of that $500 on an extremely overpriced gaming chair. That way I can go pro

Ill be the worlds first and only pro Automation player

[pure garnet]

automation mentioned

[fervent scaffold]

I build the worst cars the fastest

[pure garnet]

i usually just use the engine option

[fervent scaffold]

I do it all then port it to beam

I think its a lot of fun

[shell void]

best video tim has ever put out fr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCzjA5pdsNs

every time a $1000+ GPU is plugged into an unfit monitor an angel weeps

[arctic bronze]

[edgy laurel]

🙏

[fervent scaffold]

I mean I bought the 5070ti under the assumption that it was more a 1440p gpu than a 4k

It just, is capable, of 4k

I also bought it under the impression that it was a real good balance for my pre existing setup

[shell void]

yah your setup isnt making angels weep

there was a guy in this server running a 1680x1050 60Hz fluorescent backlit office monitor with his rtx 4090

[fervent scaffold]

Figured I could toss it in and leave the PC itself alone for years

[shell void]

and there are many people still running 1080p144 with 4090 & 5090 xd

[pure garnet]

shep does 1080 240 iirc

[fervent scaffold]

Yeah thats a little more cursed

Its like my buddy who only games with his PC, and for some reason, wont change his mind, that his cpu has to be the best, and paired with a 60 series

[pure garnet]

9800x3d with the 5060

[fervent scaffold]

He has a 5800x3d paired with a 3060

[shell void]

to be fair if you only play league of legends or valorant or cs2 at 1080p then that's a valid config option

[fervent scaffold]

And wants to upgrade to a 7950x3d and leave the gpu alone

[shell void]

you dont need anything more than a 5060 for 1080p low settings esports

ignoring marvel rivals, that game runs like crap

[fervent scaffold]

He uses it for star citizen mainly

And just bought a 31.5” 1440p monitor, and tried telling me it was 4k

[pure garnet]

i mean that also runs like crap so justified ig

[fervent scaffold]

And then claimed he was running bodycam at 4k on his 1440p monitor and a 3060 lmao

[fervent scaffold]

I dont understand his mindset, I dont know a whole lot, but he definitely knows less and argues it all the time

Might have to shit his pants

While hes in them

[shell void]

threadripper 9960x/9970x/9980x reviews tomorrow

mashallah

hopefully it's at like 9am

[edgy laurel]

is that fucking scotty

[shell void]

mr kilmer

[fervent scaffold]

Yep lmao

[edgy laurel]

lunatic

[fervent scaffold]

Rip ozzy kilmer

[neat shuttle]

Plz gosh save me

[fervent scaffold]

Ozzy Scotty Kilmer Osbourne

My favorite comedian

[fringe vigil]

ozzy

did americans even know him

[livid flame]

True

[wraith steeple]

Absolutely

[edgy laurel]

omg you really do get everything you know from pop culture lol

and you weren't even paying attention to that!

[livid flame]

Did Americans know ozzy? Ya kidding right

[edgy laurel]

just crazy things jorj says

[wraith steeple]

He even had a reality TV show from back in the early 2000s that was in one of his homes in LA

The Osbornes

[fervent scaffold]

My wifes mom dated him just before he got famous

[livid flame]

His wife has kept him main stream relevant for years

He was just about the quiet life in the end

[edgy laurel]

Pretty sure thats one of the most popular reality TV shows ever

[fervent scaffold]

I shouldnt say just before he got famous, but before he was famous

[fringe vigil]

hes a british legend

[livid flame]

He was famous when he wasn’t. He was a controversy

[fervent scaffold]

She left him because “he was a loser”

[edgy laurel]

IMDB, sorted by popularity. I think maybe people outside the UK have heard of him.

[fervent scaffold]

And “wasnt going to do anything”

[livid flame]

To quote Micah Richard’s, he burst onto the scene

[fervent scaffold]

Which is insane lmao

[wraith steeple]

Exactly that's what I'm saying. That was how popular Ozzy was back in the 80s and onwards, he had become a massive pop icon in not only the UK, not the English speaking world as with the entirety of the world in general

[fringe vigil]

we love sharon osbourne here

[fervent scaffold]

She has a lot more pictures I need to acquire

All physical tho

[granite dirge]

But the real question... St Rhodes or Wylde

Because let's face it gus g is not in the discussion

[turbid locust]

lol Valorant updated to UE5 today and it actually did what they said it would

[shell void]

does it look better and run better

[turbid locust]

looks the same, runs better

[edgy laurel]

the whole game updated to UE5?

[shell void]

riot games proving that marvel rivals has no excuse to run as poorly as it does

[turbid locust]

Yeah

[edgy laurel]

Huh, thats big

[turbid locust]

UE4 to 5

[granite dirge]

I'm pretty surprised that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards outlived Ozzy

[fringe vigil]

Sabrina carpenter

[edgy laurel]

did they add RT lmao

[turbid locust]

no lol

But I think upgrading the engine opens a lot of possibilities for them to add features and whatnot

[shell void]

reflex 2 perhaps

not that it really needs it because you can run the game at like 1200fps

[turbid locust]

Yeah lol

[scarlet iron]

tbf doesn't Marvel Rivals also have destructible enviroments

[turbid locust]

I average 400-500 in actual matches at 4K

[scarlet iron]

they probably ´did the destructible enviroments poorly

[edgy laurel]

had that shit in battlefield a decade ago

[wise bear]

@edgy laurel

[shell void]

the destructable buildings in bf6 look juicy

[turbid locust]

Wouldn’t surprise me to see upscaling options to be added to Val soon

[edgy laurel]

[shell void]

man youre down bad if you need upscaling in val

i had no issue running it on my 1070
