i love am4, 150 for a whole pc is so nice

tommorow i am getting SO MUCH stuff

[topaz veldt]

Damn I should have jumped on these

[frank zealot]

@shell void

[merry stirrup]

OLED65B7A @frank zealot

[frosty prism]

sick e1.s

[topaz veldt]

E1.s is unpopular

[thick frost]

M.2 Vs e1 🔥

[frosty prism]

cash only feels strange

[topaz veldt]

Doesn't want a 1099

[frank zealot]

8 years old is.... eh
But for 100 bucks maybe

[thick frost]

They could be like me and try to minimise the amount of companies that have my data

[frank zealot]

I usually pay for fbm stuff in cash

[frosty prism]

its so strange, here in Norway the only time i have ever gotten cash has been with like a 20$ case or something or my birthday

we just use vipps everywhere

[merry stirrup]

120hz tho right?

[frosty prism]

on a 8 year old panel?

[topaz veldt]

The previous administration opened up payment processors to require issuing a 1099 Misc on anyone who receives $600 annually

[merry stirrup]

thats 2017 sim, we had that tech in like 2008

[topaz veldt]

You should always claim your income, but they went from $20,000 to $600 (you know, to help the poor) in terms of who will receive a 1099 from Paypal/Venmo/etc.

[frank zealot]

this is why whenever I give my friends money on the platform it's for "dinner"

Because paying back a friend for dinner is exempted

[topaz veldt]

Doesn't matter

its tax exempt but they still receive a 1099

(if the sum of payments is over $600 in total, annual)

[frank zealot]

it's annoying

[topaz veldt]

Its purely insane

It means people trying to pay their bills by babysitting or housekeeping or anything... are forced to go to H&R Block or hire an accountant because frankly they don't know wtf to do when they're sent a 1099-Misc or 1099-NEC

[frosty prism]

at least you have 1080p 120hz for sure but 4k no clue

[merry stirrup]

okie i am asking more deets then

may be worth the 100$ lowball

[topaz veldt]

I had a situation where I was doing side work for a client, I receive payment thru Paypal who issued me a 1099 but the client ALSO issued me a 1099... my revenue was 2x what it actually was from that account. That was hilariously fun to explain on my tax forms.

It wasn't an issue prior because payment processors only issued a 1099 if you had $20k of net sales and 200 transactions.

[fringe vigil]

If anybody need me

ima be working a big big case, with the FBI

[pure garnet]

are you the suspect

[frank zealot]

"Large Radiator for Liquid Cooling"

Ummm... sir, you need to rethink your definition of "Large"

[frosty prism]

i am still so unsure but meh its still a oled so why not and fully possible it can do 4k 120

[frosty prism]

high quality power supply

[frank zealot]

IDK if any HDMI interfaces could do 4K 120 8 years ago

[frosty prism]

hdmi 2.0

is what the tv has

sad

HDMI 2.1 benefits in a 1440p monitor? : r/Monitors
HDMI 2.0 supports a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz for 4K resolution. While it can handle higher refresh rates at lower resolutions (like 240Hz at 1080p), 4K content is typically limited to 60Hz with HDMI 2.0.

[frank zealot]

IDK what these knives are, but.....
They look cool, but I'm sure they're garbage:

[frosty prism]

the issue i have with that kinda stuff is if its still sharp why get rid of it, if it works it works

[pure garnet]

i mean they’re selling it for 15 bucks

someone else can use it

[frank zealot]

holy shit they're garbage:

[frosty prism]

hahaha

[frank zealot]

they look cool, but holy fuck they have to be absolute trash

[vestal granite]

xbox 360 is retro gaming now

probably has been for a while but its just now settled in my brain

[frosty prism]

it has been retro for a LONG LONG time now

[vestal granite]

they look like the metal color is painted on

[vestal granite]

xbox one will be retro soon

[south shuttle]

the handles look really cheap

[frosty prism]

i think the whole digital part is going to make the xbox one just pure e-waste

[frank zealot]

they are

[vestal granite]

if u want good budget-but-not-walmart-crap, look for culinary school knives. i like Mercer Culinary's stuff cause its like $20 for an 8" chef knife and the knife is actually good shape, food safe, restaurant safe, and built to last

[frank zealot]

"Major Appliances"
Ummm, I have questions

[vestal granite]

i use their knives n spatulas, consumer spatulas suck they're never flat & never properly sharp edged

[frank zealot]

mostly they just looked neat, and they do.
But a set of 5$ Ali knives is garbage

HOLY SHIT

I mean, absolutely not, but.... SLI GTX 960's?

[vestal granite]

wow you could maybe find some gold in that dust if you get one of those sifter things

[frosty prism]

jesus the dust

[frank zealot]

I showed the better side:

[vestal granite]

pompeii PC finds

[frosty prism]

at least its a hx psu

that pc is gonna need a shower

[frank zealot]

4th gen CPU (probably)
and dual 960's lol

Back in the day that was baller

[frosty prism]

i love buying computers from 2017

[frank zealot]

go back 3 more years

[fringe vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-mimsy-slap-shut-up-mimsy-shut-up-gif-4886054

[frosty prism]

no am4

[fringe vigil]

This guy in South Park is too funny

Mimsy

[pure garnet]

why collect e waste

[random flame]

Anyone mention this article already?
https://wccftech.com/raja-koduri-unveils-his-new-gpu-startup-oxmiq-labs/

[merry stirrup]

dvd drive damn

kinda worth it

100 and pray

[frank zealot]

not a chance lol

I do not need 2 more 960's lol

[frosty prism]

it is not worth 100

[merry stirrup]

you could easily sell 2 gtx 960s for 20$ each and the rest of the computer is worth 60$ easily

its worth 100$ lol

[frosty prism]

what

20$ for a 960 are you mad

gtx 960 is 2GB

[merry stirrup]

and they often sell for 20-30$ what do you want from me

[frank zealot]

some were 4gb

[frosty prism]

no

[merry stirrup]

specs are not price even though it should be that way

[frosty prism]

there is no way someone is paying 20$ for a 960

[frank zealot]

people will

[merry stirrup]

????

go on ebay right fucking now and search 960 and filter by completed

[pure garnet]

at 20 bucks i’d probably get a 960 if i needed a video out

[frank zealot]

20 bucks is frequently the "I need a display adapter" pricepoint

[merry stirrup]

theres 960s selling for upwards of 60$

[pure garnet]

maxwell has decent io

[frosty prism]

money laundering

[pure garnet]

below 20 dollars it’s usually not worth selling stuff

[pure garnet]

like i have my 3700x back because its just not worth selling it

[frosty prism]

the 3700X is worth like 100$ around my parts

[frank zealot]

4gb 960 for 40 bucks?

[merry stirrup]

broski tried to send a photo of the burn in but i cant tell, can you guys>

i see a faint ring

[edgy laurel]

@shell void you were right on the money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MNCUjIdbaA

[frosty prism]

compression cant be this bad

it looks like ass

[merry stirrup]

so perhaps its worth 100 bones? idk

[frosty prism]

i would not bother

[steel stream]

michael is omnipotent when it comes to GPUs and displays I think

[edgy laurel]

its a screenshot from a 1080p youtube video, i wouldn't think too deeply into it

[merry stirrup]

reasoning?

100$ for a 65inch oled really doesnt seem like a bad deal lol

[steel stream]

Uh I see it in the preview not in the full, could just be phone having trouble taking a photo?

[frosty prism]

every time i get older parts i tend to sell it for way more then i should for like 20 to 15$ but it takes ages and its just annoying

[merry stirrup]

perhaps yeah

[hoary hatch]

The fuck

[edgy laurel]

Given this, I think I can expect to not have an issue doing 4K120 with the same settings

[frosty prism]

ffs cant talk about a 100$ pc and tv in the same short time

[merry stirrup]

😭

[frosty prism]

also i already said yes to the tv

[merry stirrup]

idk akn sayin fax or somethin idk

could be more burned in and i cant tell by the photo

[steel stream]

i'd do a burn in test in person but looks good to me

[merry stirrup]

worth about 100$?

[hoary hatch]

So my EVGA GTX 960 4GB FTW could be worth over $60?!

[topaz veldt]

I just installed office on my 285K - does that make it my primary PC?

[steel stream]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

dont get your hopes up but id list it for 40 lol

[hoary hatch]

The EVGA glazers will overpay

[merry stirrup]

it has been sent

[topaz veldt]

not on old random cards

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/design-eyes-special-eyes-special-gif-8137439

[frank zealot]

is bro high?
600 bucks for that lot of shit?

[merry stirrup]

is this stand that its on hideous

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

lol 8700k for 110$

[steel stream]

yes

[merry stirrup]

straight inept

[shell void]

yah you should be totally fine without framegen

[merry stirrup]

wait it comes with the erm table itself too lol

how do i tell bro i dont want his fuckin table

[frank zealot]

8700k, board and 16GB RAM? 280$

roflmao

[steel stream]

yay?

[merry stirrup]

i dont want his table itll probably just end up being wall mounted

whateva

[steel stream]

just don't screw too tight

[topaz veldt]

oh shit new season COD

[merry stirrup]

this does not create joy

[frank zealot]

it's wall mounted ON the stand that's part of the table

[steel stream]

Did you see the post I shared this morning?

[merry stirrup]

nooo

[merry stirrup]

gross gross gross gross

how am i going to fit this in the car thing is huge w/no box

[steel stream]

muscles

[merry stirrup]

real

[frank zealot]

take it off the stand, lay it flat (fold down seats)

put padding under it

[merry stirrup]

bag secured

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yas-wwe-scream-gif-17625417

[frank zealot]

but that vertical post is part of the table

[merry stirrup]

okay

ill just keep it then ig ill find a spot for it

[steel stream]

leave work right now floppa

[merry stirrup]

ill get rid of my fake server rack and jut put the machines on it on the table

[frank zealot]

like this thing:

[merry stirrup]

gross

[steel stream]

wack asf

[merry stirrup]

but itll work for now i guess lmao

one hunnid dollar oled

[steel stream]

yuge

[merry stirrup]

is it really that good of a deal

its 8 years old im not saying its bad but

yknow

LG B7 idk if those are good or bad, rtings says theyre pretty good tho

[edgy laurel]

factory reset it, make sure all protection modes are on. See if it'll let you run a manual pixel refresh

[frank zealot]

it's an 8 year old oled. You won't get a better TV unless you find an absurd steal of a price

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats kinda what i was thinking

min req for a room tv was 4k and oled and that indeed checks the boxes

[frank zealot]

if you want to see burn in, bring a laptop and run a youtube burn in video

[steel stream]

it's about as good as my Vizio oled in my basement from 2020 (brightness wise)

[merry stirrup]

okie

thats good then innit

[steel stream]

And the Vizio OLED is still pretty nice (when in a light controlled room)

For HDR content

Like really not that bad for $100

[slim pebble]

Yeah you did, turns out the fin density on those huge rads is really low, and the thickness requires a really stupid high fan speed to cool, and it’s not very effective. A thin rad with high fin density does better with lower RPM fans.

[steel stream]

That would be a great first introduction to proper HDR movies imo

[merry stirrup]

okie

ill pick it up asap then, i can leave early today

[shell void]

can we not? i didn’t ask for southern weather

[edgy laurel]

i'm over it

[topaz veldt]

if designing some sort of OEM product w/ a plenum or something it could be great, but for DIY setups nah go 30mm

[topaz veldt]

ive decided to just go to the beach

[merry stirrup]

okie ill head out at 6hrs today so i dont have to take a break

[edgy laurel]

not sure if that'll make it better but at least you can cool off

[topaz veldt]

it'll be breezy and i can go in the ocean

the benefits of another mortgage

[merry stirrup]

sadly it doesnt support 4k 120hz i dont think

[frosty prism]

it does not

hdmi 2.0

[merry stirrup]

i mean idk how tvs work i thought dsc was a thing

[steel stream]

yeah no 4K 120Hz

[edgy laurel]

DSC over HDMI isn't a given

and I don't believe it was a thing ever on HDMI 2.0

[steel stream]

I would just use it for movie and show watching

Content consumption

[edgy laurel]

but hey, you can do native 1080p120

[merry stirrup]

i mean im going to but it woulda been nice to hook up a future console to it and get some decent couch gaming

[shell void]

hdmi 2.0 is ancient

[frank zealot]

Guilty, tell me I don't need this:

[steel stream]

yuh I feel that

[merry stirrup]

tis the alternate point of the tv cause i often have friends over

[edgy laurel]

you do because that display is the cutest thing ever

[merry stirrup]

and surprisingly, i dont have enough gaming pcs for that

[fringe vigil]

Mafia toc looks insane

[merry stirrup]

i only have like 4

[shell void]

i would consider buying a newer better tv

bestbuy has open box deals often

[merry stirrup]

consider paying the difference

[shell void]

i do pay the difference

[frank zealot]

it is, but also... do I really need a chiller?

[merry stirrup]

yes

[edgy laurel]

probably not, i know I don't

[merry stirrup]

am i going to get a 6x better tv or whatever the price difference is

i think the chapest one at best buy is this b4 65inch at 600$

[frank zealot]

see what I can do to OC the snot out of a 10850K? lol

[shell void]

look for open box deals

[merry stirrup]

i am lol

[shell void]

$310 for a 55” 4k144 miniled

[merry stirrup]

thats 600$ openbox shawty

[topaz veldt]

I need this

[shell void]

unfortunately i probably won’t be able to link you a specific tv because it’ll be regional

[merry stirrup]

im lookin rn

[frank zealot]

that's how I found my 370$ oled at BB, I just crawled open box

[merry stirrup]

theres a miniled open box for 350 it seems but still, am i getting a 3.5x better tv?

i dont think so gango

[shell void]

if you want decent brightness and refresh rate then yeah

[frank zealot]

depends on the miniled

[merry stirrup]

qd7 hisense

[topaz veldt]

i need an ultra bright 65"

[edgy laurel]

that Sams club deal from the other day was wild. brand new 65" C4 for what, $500?

[shell void]

hisense u8qg 2025

[steel stream]

U8QG is fucking insane

4000 nits

[shell void]

if you think your g4 hurts your eyes in SDR then you’ll need tissues while watching the u8qg

[topaz veldt]

i need a tv for beach

[steel stream]

will need welding goggles

[edgy laurel]

welding helmet

[topaz veldt]

its like all windows and basically unviewable in daytime

[edgy laurel]

dammit akn

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/you-got-to-be-quicker-than-that-gotta-be-quicker-than-that-quick-you-gotta-be-quicker-than-that-gif-17491322042216115294

[merry stirrup]

i cant get anything thats the same size unless i pay 4.5x more

i think i am chillin

[steel stream]

Yuh

[frosty prism]

hey i already said that

[frank zealot]

at a minimum, it's 144hz VRR

[edgy laurel]

if its trash, well.. it was only $100

[merry stirrup]

yeah exactly

it seems like its fine and it really did look like minor burn in

[shell void]

floppa you’re like the dudes that used to make videos about dumpster diving behind gamestop and walmart before businesses cracked down on that

[merry stirrup]

yes

[edgy laurel]

ok ok ok

[topaz veldt]

This is brutal for TV

[merry stirrup]

thatll be good enough

[steel stream]

I'm still happy with my Vizio OLED and it's pretty close

[merry stirrup]

not like the pc can do more than 4k 60hz

[steel stream]

Vizio left, LG right

[steel stream]

yeah get a U8QG and TV TOO DAMN HIGH!

[shell void]

that height is tough because it’s gonna make any lcd look bad due to viewing angles

[merry stirrup]

so mines a lil better in some areas even

[topaz veldt]

the room leaves literally no options

[edgy laurel]

I would have killed for one of those life size masterchief cardboard cutouts

[topaz veldt]

yeah - and OLED makes no sense we're not there enough

[merry stirrup]

i think i care more about the value than you lol

[steel stream]

yeah I just get 120 Hz and stuff, but brightness wise it's still good enough

[frank zealot]

huh, no shit

[steel stream]

yeah you did the best with what you had

[merry stirrup]

should be alright ill let you know how it goes

[topaz veldt]

"hey $wife lets buy a $3200 TV for the place we don't go to enough that we think about selling every few months"

"no thats ok"

[shell void]

this would be your cheaper light cannon option

65qm851g

[topaz veldt]

is it not terrible

[edgy laurel]

this is absurd

[shell void]

we shall see about that Rtings

snail has one of the least tv friendly rooms i’ve seen

[edgy laurel]

nearly 1000nits sustained fullscreen

[topaz veldt]

hnnng

[topaz veldt]

I have a couple honestly

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-michael-scott-i-love-this-tv-tv-television-gif-21852471

[shell void]

if you could live with 55” instead of 65” then i’d push you towards the Hisense 55U8QG 2025 because it has an “ads pro” lcd panel which will have better viewing angles

that mounting height is gonna make all VA lcd tvs look kinda crappy

[steel stream]

peak bro peak

[topaz veldt]

the problem is like we have people down to watch baseball and shit from the deck and its like squint city

my wife argues we should be looking out the window if inside

[edgy laurel]

look at it this way. We can see that TCL just fine. You're not buying for a family of display aficionados. Its over the dang fireplace.

Anything remotely nice will be just fine.

[topaz veldt]

I guess I agree

[edgy laurel]

and that was my next point. you're not there to be oddling at TV performance, its a second home at the beach, just go outside

[topaz veldt]

ha i know

[edgy laurel]

Now if you have a basement...

[topaz veldt]

its the shore brother

[edgy laurel]

true..

[merry stirrup]

my gf allegedly has a 750GT

[topaz veldt]

we have a ground floor but its laundry, garage, and a bedroom with liek two twins in it

[merry stirrup]

which means i probably dont have to buy a psu for her to use the 3080

[topaz veldt]

ocean front, I don't want anything of value down there

[edgy laurel]

yipee

[topaz veldt]

lol mhm

Our place has like dunes across, so it can't be built in front of

so its not RIGHT on the water like that

[edgy laurel]

tbh those are dumb.. OBX is filled with em

[topaz veldt]

yeah looked at a few but too far to drive to

[edgy laurel]

tell that to my dad, i did that drive so many times. too many.

first world problems

[topaz veldt]

haha yeah we drove to the FL Keys for 17 years

[edgy laurel]

yup, i know that one too, though not as far as the keys

[topaz veldt]

PA -> Keys is 23 hrs non-stop driving (other than pee)

[edgy laurel]

Marco Island

[edgy laurel]

you'd just push straight through??

[topaz veldt]

yup

marco/tampa is like "oh man we're almost there" and then theres still 6-7 hours lol

[edgy laurel]

damn

[topaz veldt]

well from that side

but if you were in like west palm its still like 4 hrs south

[frank zealot]

@edgy laurel

[edgy laurel]

i'm weary of those numbers. they don't really reflect much

[frank zealot]

(that's a lotta games)

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel which one do I buy so that my RC catches fire on the beach again

[edgy laurel]

they're all like the same thing. tbh i never ran 6S on anything

[topaz veldt]

yeah its mah really

[edgy laurel]

the planes I had were big fatboy motors spinning slower on 3/4S, but on one I ran dual 6000mAh

[topaz veldt]

yeah 6s 6000 mah is a biggun

[edgy laurel]

part of the reason I got out of that. if that bitch fell out of the sky it was really going to hurt someone

[topaz veldt]

ha

[shell void]

i didn’t know that 16x MSAA was an option tbh

[topaz veldt]

imagine my face ripping those dunes I showed above and then it burst into flames

[shell void]

i don’t recall seeing higher than 8x and even that murders performance

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel lol we'll see

[frank zealot]

ARC Team is absolutely kicking ass, holy shit

[edgy laurel]

honestly the perfect place for it lol, just bury it till it stops 🤣

[topaz veldt]

exactly what I did - I think i have pics

I am going to change the gearing tonight

[shell void]

older radeon card users should kiss the ground that the arc team walks on

they have been gifting them with usable upscaling and framegen

[frank zealot]

I can't wait to see what Celestial does next year

[shell void]

same i’m excited to see how it performs in pantherlake apu laptops

[frank zealot]

the step up from Alch to Battle was clear, and if they can do it for Celestial and Druid? Intel's gonna step on AMD's nuts

(And if people whine about driver overhead? Maybe don't put a 2026/2027 GPU on a CPU from 2020)

[edgy laurel]

honestly not that bad. was it the ESC that smoked or the battery itself?

[pure garnet]

tbf if the $250 gpu is being bottlenecked badly that’s kinda on intel to fix

[frank zealot]

it's not a gpu bottleneck

[pure garnet]

that price point of card is very much drop in upgrade people purchasing

[frank zealot]

it's a cpu bottleneck, partially caused by gpu drivers

it's not a gpu bottleneck at all

[pure garnet]

yes but it’s a cpu bottleneck that is considerably higher on intel gpus than the other 2 vendors

[frank zealot]

"considerably higher"
the actual benchmarks show it's not really that significant in general

is it worse? yes, is it actually bad enough to be a problem?
Not usually

[shell void]

its a gpu architecture problem that as far as i know is improved in Xe3, but probably won’t be totally solved

[pure garnet]

i have an a750 but arc is very much kinda just an enthusiasts toy still honestly

[shell void]

i need a pantherlake laptop

[frank zealot]

meh, whatever

[pure garnet]

extremely hard to tell people to buy a b580 blind over a 5060 or something if they know nothing about computer

[frank zealot]

if they're on a modern platform?
No it's not

AM4 and LGA 1200 are no longer modern

[pure garnet]

how many people have a 7600x and a old card besides my sister

i’d bet not that many

[frank zealot]

plenty

[pure garnet]

there’s a lot more 3600/5600 owners out there buying low end cards

[frank zealot]

again: AM4 was end of lifed like 5 years ago now

[merry stirrup]

cherry coke

[edgy laurel]

WHO ARE YOU

[steel stream]

truer words have never been spoken

[pure garnet]

lot of gt210s i guess

oh even that does 11

[shell void]

dx8 is absolutely insane

[frank zealot]

May is worse

[topaz veldt]

ESC caught fire

I had it geared for stupid speeds on low cut grass but I think sand did it in

so tonight I will swap gears on the motor

[pure garnet]

oh apparently ms basic display drivers count as dx8 and older

[edgy laurel]

oh i didn't even look, damn

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel the worst part of that ordeal was I put the fire out and then threw the truck in the trunk of my F80 - it took me months to get rid of that smell

[shell void]

that makes more sense because the first dx9 gpus were in 2002

[edgy laurel]

magic smoke smell? damn

[frank zealot]

holy fuck, thems some ANCIENT gpu's

[topaz veldt]

yeah you know the smell - lack of judgement on that one

[frank zealot]

I think I owned a Radeo 8500 AIW back in the day (I think it was the 8500? But it was a long-ass time ago)

[topaz veldt]

Lol J2C is into BIOS now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XbDSYcQBvU

yes jay, if you flash the BIOS of a TUF to a TUF OC, you save $90

you also void the warranty on your $2700 GPU

[merry stirrup]

and gain 20mhz

[topaz veldt]

right

[merry stirrup]

straight stupidity

[edgy laurel]

i can't with this clickbait

[merry stirrup]

if youre flashing any bios on 5090s it should be master or the unlocked one

[topaz veldt]

hes outting the "OC" model "scam"

[edgy laurel]

the biggest? really??

[merry stirrup]

no other ones have relevance

[edgy laurel]

which, if we look at what a scam is, it isn't... we're just dumb and buy them anyway

but thats besides the point

[merry stirrup]

his perspective is "buy the non oc cards and save 100-200$"

[topaz veldt]

Right. I know what it is. I am willing

[merry stirrup]

but thats not that simple. the whole reason of the OC cards is so they dont have to stock the cheaper non oc cards

[pure garnet]

the 4070 dual oc was cheaper than the non oc when i ordered mine

[topaz veldt]

I 100% only buy the OC model because of A) resale B) 3/5 of my systems I do not have afterburner installed

[edgy laurel]

this

[merry stirrup]

nobody sells an asus TUF. theyre all TUF OC

[topaz veldt]

Yeah - find me someone with an Astral Non-OC in stock

[merry stirrup]

exactly

[edgy laurel]

I don't ever recall seeing a TUF 4090, only the TUF OC 4090

[merry stirrup]

its not a way to save money or get your card to perform better

[topaz veldt]

brb best buy is here

[edgy laurel]

it exists, but I don't recal being able to buy it, or it wasn't really any cheaper

[merry stirrup]

its just "lets void the warranty for nothing rq"

[edgy laurel]

if i could look back, the non-OC was probably like a $30 difference and I said screw it

[merry stirrup]

they usually are significantly cheaper but you just dont see them stocked

[hoary hatch]

For $30 I'd get the "higher end" version

[merry stirrup]

only way to get a 5070ti for msrp was to find one of the rare non oc models being sold

[hoary hatch]

Often are launch models to hit msrp

[edgy laurel]

lets not talk about how poorly my OC model OC's

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

what have you done to this picture sir

[topaz veldt]

I cropped out peoples

[merry stirrup]

is the remote a concern for the lg b7

should i make sure i get it by any means

[edgy laurel]

oh, something about how the wall, ground and box are so similiar in color it looked like there was some sort of filter

[topaz veldt]

lol no

[merry stirrup]

he doesnt mention not having it but if he doesnt should i care

[edgy laurel]

there isn't a whole lot you can do without it.

[merry stirrup]

noted

[edgy laurel]

hell i'm not even sure if there are basic buttons on my C2

[pure garnet]

msi puts another heat pipe in their “plus” models so i’d pay more for that

[edgy laurel]

i've never looked

[topaz veldt]

MSI 5090s suck

[merry stirrup]

so i shouldnt lose it

[pure garnet]

well i don’t have a 5090

[topaz veldt]

The 5090 Trio is a joke

[edgy laurel]

smart idea..

[topaz veldt]

the 5090 Suprim is just "big"

[merry stirrup]

lol okie noted

ill put velcro on it™

[pure garnet]

but the 5070ti gaming trio oc has 4 heatpipes and the 5070ti gaming trio oc plus has 5

[topaz veldt]

lol

[merry stirrup]

the plus stands for plus one heatpipe

[topaz veldt]

I re-up'd my geforce now

its kind of nice to have

[merry stirrup]

got these from that old 1366 machine, great fans for LN2 and high performance things

11w/fan

gonna get em cleaned up

[topaz veldt]

i can taste the cigarettes

[merry stirrup]

nah just saw dust

not that deep orange color like the smoke dust is for me

looks more orange on da photo

[topaz veldt]

why hasn't jorj talked about Mafia dropping

i killed chat

[pure garnet]

im still in the geforce now line

wanted to know how bad the free tier pcs were

[topaz veldt]

lol

i have the highest one

[pure garnet]

i haven't tried this since the beta i think

[topaz veldt]

its actually good

[shell void]

i’m going to start eating drywall and couch stuffing if Asus seriously delayed the XG32UCWMG in America until Sept/Oct

[pure garnet]

i need the one gamer in front of me to get off the damn game

[shell void]

[topaz veldt]

[steel stream]

Gonna be featured on an episode of TLC

[topaz veldt]

there is something wild about playing PC games on macos at like 80 fps

[hoary hatch]

I forget
GeForce now or are you using the moonlight/sunshine thing

[topaz veldt]

no its cloud

I think I am playing on a 4080 Super

for games like this its perfect honestly

I am downloading at 100 MB/s and gaming on the same connection over Geforce Now

[pure garnet]

apparently if you alt tab during the queue

it kicks you fromthe queue???????????

[topaz veldt]

lol

free is free brother

[pure garnet]

im not longer interested in the free gfn that was like a 10 minute wait

[topaz veldt]

i wouldn't fuck with free

[pure garnet]

i just wanted to see what card they were using

[topaz veldt]

You wouldn't be able to tell honestly

it pops you right into a stripper VDI with Steam/etc.

Sorry I am on a 4080, not Super

[pure garnet]

rivals reports the gpu name so i was in the queue for that

[merry stirrup]

got those fans cleaned up

[topaz veldt]

ah

[topaz veldt]

https://www.reddit.com/r/GeForceNOW/

GF Now is not great but for people who can't layout $2k for a PC its kind of sick

[pure garnet]

oh it's still a 1080 apparently

[topaz veldt]

nah that article is old

[pure garnet]

not bad for free access

[topaz veldt]

I doubt it'd be a 1080 in 2025

[pure garnet]

that's what a reddit comment from an hour ago said it was

[topaz veldt]

ehhh

need more info

if it wouldn't dox me i'd send you my GF Now creds to try ultimate its honestly good

[pure garnet]

is there not a trial

[topaz veldt]

no

but its prorated

[pure garnet]

i'll just download the client and sit through the queue

[topaz veldt]

my first like 2 - 3 hours in Star wars outlaws is in GF Now

[pure garnet]

9 gamers ahead of me woohoo

[topaz veldt]

holy shit

[cunning crater]

bro im about to explode

[topaz veldt]

we need specs and part numbers for one

[steel stream]

flame on?

[cunning crater]

this is NOT fantastic

[topaz veldt]

share with us wtf you bought

[fringe vigil]

why are you

[topaz veldt]

broi

[frank zealot]

start with:

What CPU and board did you buy

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil I am playing Mafia Old World on a MacOS before you

[fringe vigil]

tf is old world

[cunning crater]

motherboard is a gigabyte b650 eagle ax, cpu is ryzen 5 7600

[fringe vigil]

old country goof

[topaz veldt]

whatever

@fringe vigil "follow bippo"

[frank zealot]

post pics of the inside

[fringe vigil]

btw i could have played this houirs ago but im busy so

[topaz veldt]

busy flippin burgers

[pure garnet]

i got in but for some reason i need to wait another 10 minutes to download the game

[cunning crater]

what fo you want to see

[steel stream]

damn what gpu is that

[cunning crater]

5060

[steel stream]

it looks thin as fuck

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil Death Stranding: Italy 1880

[cunning crater]

its the 3 fan one

[frank zealot]

zoom in on the top left corner and use flash

[cunning crater]

do we think power supply just doesnt have enough juice to power it all?

[frank zealot]

you overpaid lol

[topaz veldt]

this

guys lets not shit on his selection lets get it working

[frank zealot]

very unlikely

[topaz veldt]

that setup will run off 300W

[steel stream]

I'm not trying to, it just looks incredibly thin lol

[frank zealot]

good, that's the correct plug.

[frank zealot]

when you hit the power button, does anything happen?

Fan spin? lights? any beeps?

[pure garnet]

what mottherboard is this

[frank zealot]

scroll back he said

[pure garnet]

the f_panel writing on the silkscren is way past where you plugged the headers in

[cunning crater]

absolutely nothing happens

[frank zealot]

is the power switch on the PSU "on"

[cunning crater]

yes

[merry stirrup]

i dont like the aura this build gives off

[fringe vigil]

lool

[pure garnet]

yeah you got the power button wired in the wrong spot

[merry stirrup]

lol

[merry stirrup]

it looks like its in the right spot if thats a normal fpanel pinout

[topaz veldt]

Let's confirm with the mobo model

[merry stirrup]

usually top row 2nd pair of pins

[frank zealot]

post a better pic of this @cunning crater

[merry stirrup]

b650 eagle

[fringe vigil]

wtff

this looks lit

[pure garnet]

actually i may be wrong

[merry stirrup]

does look right

short the power pins wjith a screw driver, does it do anything? if yes your power button is broken lol

[cunning crater]

it doesnt i already tired that

[merry stirrup]

is the psu modular? id check the rear connections too

[cunning crater]

not modualr

[frank zealot]

what psu

[cunning crater]

do i say screw it and bring it to best buy and have them mess w it or smtj idrk

[pure garnet]

no try what floppa said

[topaz veldt]

what is it doing

or not doing

[merry stirrup]

dont pay money to have some other goober fix it

[pure garnet]

make sure psu on then try and bridge the contacts to boot the system

[topaz veldt]

power button press and nothing?

[cunning crater]

msi mag a650BN

[merry stirrup]

anynthing apparently

[cunning crater]

yes

[cunning crater]

yes i did

[merry stirrup]

is something shorted on the back?

[topaz veldt]

OK confirm that the mobo connector doesnt say PCIe

[merry stirrup]

def splits into a 4+4, not pcie

[topaz veldt]

Ok didn't see

[frank zealot]

it's not, that's why I had him post a pic. it's a 4+4

[frank zealot]

post a pic of the back of the PSU

[topaz veldt]

roger OK FINE

[merry stirrup]

fpanel is right, connectors are seated

[green marsh]

am i looking weird or is the 24-pin connected weird ?

[topaz veldt]

and take a pic of the 24-pin at the mobo

yeah flash us on that puppysucker

[merry stirrup]

is the cpu 8 pin somehow backwards or something?

[cunning crater]

wdym back of the psu

[frosty prism]

no

[frank zealot]

that'd be a first if it was

[merry stirrup]

damn right it would be

[frank zealot]

where the wall cord plugs in

[merry stirrup]

thats not all the way in

[frosty prism]

motherboard plug aint in all da way

[merry stirrup]

should be no gap between the connector on the cable and board

[topaz veldt]

get us a nother shallower angle flash mode ON baby

[merry stirrup]

i see a large gap

[pure garnet]

snails it’s a 2080

on the free plan

[topaz veldt]

i guess you can't complain

[pure garnet]

nah for free that's solid

[merry stirrup]

why do they have computers wasting power with 2080s hto

[frank zealot]

If you're worried about pushing too hard on the board:

Catch the edge of the board with your fingers and push the cable down until it clips on

[topaz veldt]

they're not - people are using them

[merry stirrup]

why not 3060 or 3060ti for efficiency's sake

[topaz veldt]

or jam something plastic underneath

[pure garnet]

well it's a 2080 16gb?

[green marsh]

btw that PNY 5060 power connector is bringing back bad memories of power connector placement

[frank zealot]

uhhhh, a what?
That ddid not exist that I remember

[merry stirrup]

my brain hurts

[frank zealot]

were there chinese hackery 16GB 2080's?

[pure garnet]

i mean it's geforce now it's quite possible they have unique hw for it

[merry stirrup]

its gotta be a CMP card

or something similar

[green marsh]

remember the 6-pin power at front of the card ? i hoped they stopped doing that

[fringe vigil]

bella bella

[cunning crater]

i fix gap, no turn on

[frank zealot]

well, all the 5060's have is the front of the card lololol

[pure garnet]

psu is plugged into wall right

[frank zealot]

is the psu cord plugged into the wall, or a surge protector

[green marsh]

also just to be sure - you used the case standoffs (yes, it is a stupid question to ask, but you would be surprised how many people shorted their boards)

[cunning crater]

wall

[frank zealot]

post a pic of the back of the psu (where the wall cord goes into it)

[cunning crater]

yes i used the case standoofs i assume it was rhe holes alr there

[frosty prism]

interesting

[merry stirrup]

can we try a clear cmos and see if it just works

[frank zealot]

unplug and take out the GPU

plug your monitor into the motherboard

[merry stirrup]

auggh am5 is so helpful thank you amd

🙏 igpus

[frank zealot]

this is why I will never buy an F CPU if I can help it

[pure garnet]

yeah an f sku is not worth it at all

[merry stirrup]

i just dont like f skus

theres too many things i can do with quick sync

...less so on the amd side... but....

[frank zealot]

sometimes the discount is big enough to justify it. But if it's 20 bucks? It's not.

[merry stirrup]

yeah absolutely not bruh im taking my uhd 770 and running

[pure garnet]

i don't think it is personally but i also value debug tools over anything else

[frank zealot]

it's even better now that intel is using ARC Cores as iGPUs

[pure garnet]

i made my sister overpay like $30 to have debug leds over no debug leds on her board

[cunning crater]

still nothing

[frank zealot]

Intel UHD is Dead!

Long Live Iris Xe Cores!!!!

[topaz veldt]

Same - I gave my sister a b650e-e for that reason

[frank zealot]

well, the next step is more work, if you want to try it:

Pull the motherboard out of the case, put it on top of the motherboard box, and try to turn it on from there.

[cunning crater]

okay

do i need to take my whole cooler off and put it on the box too or nur

[topaz veldt]

no

leave teh cooler on if you can

[frank zealot]

oh it's an AIO

[topaz veldt]

ya

[frank zealot]

That's gonna make it more annoying to get in and out 😕

[topaz veldt]

if he lays the case flat it'll work

[merry stirrup]

i freaking hate dealing with verizon

our rep hasnt responded to me for a month then bro shows up out of the blue like nothing has happened

[topaz veldt]

yeah but he brought verizon socks

[karmic folio]

Murder them.

[merry stirrup]

id take it, begrudgingly

[topaz veldt]

lol

[merry stirrup]

long as theyre cotton

thanks man now im gonna have to wait another month for the users who want their phones upgraded to get back to me

[topaz veldt]

bring your own device dude its 2025

[merry stirrup]

they want work to pay for it (kinda)

[topaz veldt]

right

[merry stirrup]

just makes it more convenient on the employee cause the payments come out of their check so they dont see the money

but its weird cause it also gives the company access to all of their phone records so

i mean not like we're going to do anything with it but just a minor privacy thing

[topaz veldt]

no you just give them a stipend

like $70/mo - they buy their own shit and manage their own shit

[merry stirrup]

that would be in fact meta

however i think we're about 30 company lines too deep to change the policy now

or at least we're 30 company lines too deep for ME to change the policy now

[frank zealot]

okay that dude on the forum I feel bad for:

Paypal decided the exchange rate on USD to NOK was 1/50th what it actually way, and pulled out well over 250USD worth of money for his 5$ subscription

[floral kiln]

Rip 🫡

I hope the dude at least deserved the treatment

[frank zealot]

(Hey paypal, can I buy about 5K USD of NOK at that exchange rate? K thx....)

[floral kiln]

Hmmm that might actually work

You should try asking in a sketchy crypto forum

[frank zealot]

it would, I'd instantly be turning that 5K into 250K USD

[floral kiln]

💵

[cunning crater]

it is on the box and it still does not work

[frank zealot]

you either have a non-working motherboard, or a non-working PSU 😕

[vestal granite]

nah for some reason itll be the most accurate number in the universe

when its their money on the line

[cunning crater]

but you would think this one works bc i just bought it

[vestal granite]

when its your money on the line they use non ECC memory and have an open-door microwave pointed at the server's memory

they roll the server out of the rack and line up a bunch of tequila shots on it

[shell void]

i am FUUUUMIIIINNNGGG

[frank zealot]

that's something, at least

[cunning crater]

exactly exactly

[merry stirrup]

so do i daily the 3080 or 800XT

[pure garnet]

3080

[merry stirrup]

so my gf gets the fancy card

[floral spear]

Floppa look

[merry stirrup]

is it ram overclocking

[floral spear]

No it's Elvis Sandwich

[merry stirrup]

[frank cypress]

ok i think I got next week planned

[fringe vigil]

enzxooo

[frank cypress]

Monday = nvidia keynote from 4-5, Adobe substance day from 5:30 - 8:30..?

Tuesday = nvidia sessions from 9-12? then floor & job fair, more nvidia shit, back to looking at the floor, and then the other keynote

[fringe vigil]

he looks abit like my cousin too

[frank cypress]

then I got to go to a pub on Wednesday for the rookies

so jam packed

[topaz veldt]

This looks like Russia 1991

[topaz veldt]

I'm ahead of you

[fringe vigil]

so

[cunning crater]

i just held that button and now its doing smth

help what does this mean

[frank zealot]

CPU light means something's not good with the CPU

turn off the PC (unplug the psu cord from the PSU)

then take the cpu block off the board, and clean off the paste. Post a pic then

[topaz veldt]

I am going to tell you everything that happens

[cunning crater]

are those bent bru

wtf im crashin out everyone dying

[frank zealot]

those look okay

[frosty prism]

Yes those look fine

[frank zealot]

now put the CPU back in and post a pic

[topaz veldt]

use a hammer

[fringe vigil]

ohh

[cunning crater]

ihy

[topaz veldt]

no seriously

[cunning crater]

like this?

ohh rubber mallet

[topaz veldt]

Yeah i would go deadblow or rubbet mallet

[frank zealot]

lead headed hammer

[topaz veldt]

why does it look like a pin is bent

[cunning crater]

okay so i align the triangle woth the triangle correct

[frank zealot]

yes

[cunning crater]

stop please tell me you are rage baiting me

[frank zealot]

he's not

[fringe vigil]

i knew something would happen to gaetona nooooooo

[frank zealot]

zoom in on the left side of the socket from this angle

[cunning crater]

yeah its over

everyone dying

[frank zealot]

it doesn't mean it's over

get a better clarity on the left side of the socket

[topaz veldt]

That looks not ideal

[shell void]

it has never been more over in the history of ever

[brave panther]

Suboptimal

[frank zealot]

FWIW: I have fixed bent pins in a socket before.

It's tricky, but it is doable

[cunning crater]

this looks immensly suboptimal

[edgy laurel]

now we wait

[steel stream]

oh did you get a code?

[edgy laurel]

oh, yeah i did a BFLabs playtest a few months ago

[steel stream]

nice

lucky bastard

[edgy laurel]

not gonna speak too soon, so far its reached 0 and i've got an 'unidentified error code" and its kicked me back to the top of the queue

[steel stream]

nice

[low sorrel]

much lower then lastt night

[vestal granite]

i seent that

[fringe vigil]

this game better

[vestal granite]

is the game good or is it just hyped

[fringe vigil]

its good so far

[edgy laurel]

not comparable, completely different types of games. also comparisons are lame

[vestal granite]

what im gathering is it had like 300,000 players and 200,000 of them were in queue so its like you see a big line to enter a building and u get in line and ur like hey whats this line for and the other people are just like idk im just in line its probably good if all these other people are in line

[south shuttle]

as if it would matter for such cards

[vestal granite]

my expectations are low with battlefield these days, they killed my interest with their 2042 launch so i will wait until 3 months after release and then consider playing BF6

[south shuttle]

x8 msaa is already overkill

[edgy laurel]

ok cool this time it worked, i'm in

[south shuttle]

like x2 msaa to x8 msaa will halt 60% of your performance

[low sorrel]

i mean thers also non steam users

[south shuttle]

i can’t imagine who would realistically use x16 for gaming maybe for some render?

[vestal granite]

310,000 users and 200,000 of them were in queue

sorry im mean to console i have to be its the law

[low sorrel]

I saw a screenshot wherre it was over 300k in que

[south shuttle]

i wonder when or if intel will make a turnaround like amd did, because they’re losing quite bit of money

like it’s no fun losing 20% a year

[final glacier]

older games is where you would use it, eventually gpu power reaches the point it could push that in a much older game

[south shuttle]

x2 already looks great tho no?

[edgy laurel]

runs beautifully

[vestal granite]

it is my opinion that games should look more cruddy like they need more crud

the font is too clean for war

[fringe vigil]

im playing it

[edgy laurel]

so annoying jorj lol

you just say things, no one finds it funny

[low sorrel]

speaking of battlefield

[fringe vigil]

ok buddy

[low sorrel]

why are the explosions so big for the rpg and the tank gun

but the blast radius is tiny

[edgy laurel]

jerry how am i supposed to know

[south shuttle]

balancing

i find it funny they gotta balance it that way

[low sorrel]

just make the explosion smaller

[fringe vigil]

i get this when i open BF BETA TESRT

[south shuttle]

instead of giving teams limited amounts of the weapon

[wise bear]

so turn on secure boot

[south shuttle]

wouldn’t be so immersive

[fringe vigil]

how

[wise bear]

bios

[edgy laurel]

🤣 🤣

[low sorrel]

but the explosion size is so unrealistic

[low sorrel]

how do you not know

[fringe vigil]

dont laugh

help

wtf is it

[low sorrel]

you've been here longer then my niece has been alive

[edgy laurel]

also i keep telling him, he doesn't have a key for early access

[low sorrel]

hey jorj want a key for early access

[edgy laurel]

so he won't be able to play today anyway

[hoary hatch]

Bros an unc

[south shuttle]

i have played a couple bf games like 1 and i didn’t find the explosion sizes particularly unrealistic

but the damage radius

no shockwave damage to players

[fringe vigil]

[south shuttle]

like tf you don’t get dealt damage when some heavy shell falls 10 meters from you

[low sorrel]

been for like 2 years

[hoary hatch]

Damn he's more unc than me

[low sorrel]

ok ut

[south shuttle]

it would atleast burst your eardrums, if not your lungs and spray you with some chunks of metal

[low sorrel]

and a nephew

[south shuttle]

bf4 too

[low sorrel]

hot take

[south shuttle]

they had the destruction

[low sorrel]

i own battlefield 3,4,1, and 5

[south shuttle]

bf1 had the visuals and bf5 had… uhhh less

[hoary hatch]

I don't think I'll ever be an uncle
My sister can't keep a man

[wise bear]

I didn't play much of bf4 because I didn't have a good enough pc to play it well while it was in it's peak

[low sorrel]

just for the campaign

[south shuttle]

bf5 feels so empty lol

[low sorrel]

the multiplayer was mid as hell

[turbid locust]

5 feels like gentrified 1

[hoary hatch]

It's BF1 with mp44

[south shuttle]

and we will not even mention bf 20**

[low sorrel]

i find it funny the amount of full autos you find in battlefield 1

[turbid locust]

BF1 is a personal favorite because it was one of the first games I experienced higher level pc gaming on

[south shuttle]

same

[low sorrel]

everyones got an mp18

[south shuttle]

i love the winter maps

[hoary hatch]

Twenty forty two

[low sorrel]

does it have a campaign

[south shuttle]

still does not quite feel like an actual bf game

[low sorrel]

@edgy laurel are you playing open weapon or closed weapon conquest

[native jewel]

Apparently this is how microsoft imagines ai laptops;

[south shuttle]

at release it was the hottest garbage released

999 trillion bugs

[turbid locust]

I guess? Feels just fine to me

BF3 will always be my goat tho

[low sorrel]

how am i going 12-2 defib only

[turbid locust]

I’m one of the rare folk that never played BC2 tho

[south shuttle]

man they turned bf into cod

[turbid locust]

Dude 5nail and I played 2042 a few days ago and i accidentally killed someone with the defibrillator trying to revive him

[south shuttle]

bf6 looks genuinely like cod

[pure garnet]

i’ve only played 1 and bc2

[edgy laurel]

defib and repair tool kills are back baby

[low sorrel]

what do yall use for cliping software

[edgy laurel]

luckily it feels nothing like it

[turbid locust]

shadowplay (when it works)

[hollow hull]

whatever comes with the graphics driver and software

[turbid locust]

AMD relive is shit

[edgy laurel]

i just turned it on for the instant replay function in this game, seems to work ok

[south shuttle]

i want bf visuals and weapons tho :c

[turbid locust]

It doesn’t work at all for me in 2042 lol

[edgy laurel]

yeah we're back, none of that weird shit from 2042

[fringe vigil]

where we landing boys

[south shuttle]

still looks like cod-like game they haven’t fully let go

[turbid locust]

Hopefully the UI renders in at least 1080p in this BF6 lol

Sidenote idk how they’re calling this an open beta when you need a code

[edgy laurel]

yeah i'm not seeing that issue this time

[edgy laurel]

you don't need a code

[fringe vigil]

where we landing yall

[edgy laurel]

jorj its not a br..

[south shuttle]

i’d like a flagship 1900-1950’s title from bf like they did before

[turbid locust]

oh shit

[fringe vigil]

oh

[edgy laurel]

free for everyone with no code this weekend, then next thursday through sunday

only Early Access today and tomorrow needed a code

[south shuttle]

i mean that kinda can be a definition of open beta

[turbid locust]

I thought people with codes had like a day or two to themselves

[edgy laurel]

we do

[low sorrel]

until the 9tth

[edgy laurel]

7th and 8th, early access with code. 9th and 10th no code

then 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th no code

i just said this Mac keep up!

[fringe vigil]

lool

[topaz veldt]

My son is now addicted to rocket league

[turbid locust]

Yeah this is what I'm talking about lmao

Today and Tmr are basically a closed beta

it's not an open beta if you need a code lmao

anyways how does it run?

[south shuttle]

oh

[low sorrel]

eh

[south shuttle]

you can say open-source beta

closed-source beta

but you can also say it’s open for people to try the version

[turbid locust]

Holy shit BF6 defaulted to 4K for me

this is excellent

[jaunty horizon]

erm I brought this drive brand new, is this anything to worry about?

[edgy laurel]

i've only played a little bit then went to eat dinner, gonna jump back in in a minute

had no trouble hitting my framerate cap

ultra everything, DLSS Quality, FG off

[turbid locust]

Hmmm

[edgy laurel]

with a 5070Ti, probably Balanced or even Performance and you're good

you're trying to hit a slightly higher number though

[topaz veldt]

How did Mac get a beta code

[turbid locust]

I'm the goat

[edgy laurel]

yesterday they were handing them out like hotcakes on /r/battlefield or if you watched a stream

[turbid locust]

(i dont have a code lmao)

[topaz veldt]

Wtf

[edgy laurel]

jorj got one but he doesn't know how to turn on secure boot so

[topaz veldt]

ffs

[low sorrel]

my extra code lmao

[edgy laurel]

you gave that to jorj over @turbid locust ?? smh

[low sorrel]

in my defense

mac wasn't here

[edgy laurel]

tbh the way he was talking i figured he had one

[turbid locust]

Had no idea where to get one/if they were even availible after the 31st

[low sorrel]

just watch twitch stream for 30 miin

[edgy laurel]

you can still do that?

oh, yeah I guess so

man I never go on twitch but i guess you won't have trouble finding a stream

also holy fuck tim

[turbid locust]

does my accounts have to be linked or some bs

[low sorrel]

no

just goes to your inbox

[turbid locust]

word

[edgy laurel]

lets see how badly out of touch shroud is

with what BF gamers want and care about

[turbid locust]

He almost always is unfortunately

[vestal granite]

it needs omni movement

wait does it already have it the last one i played was battlefield 1

[edgy laurel]

you can't do all the weird diving

but you can move around and lay down in all directions

these comp fps people play BF like the only thing that matters is KD

[vestal granite]

so no like Vanquish slide to the left slide to the right criss cross movement

[edgy laurel]

PTFO!
