[inland wind]

I have no idea about Canadian school system. Might have been the grants though

[vale cosmos]

i'm in washington

[inland wind]

Gay or DC?

[low sorrel]

we also got a new buliding when i was there

[merry stirrup]

:o wowzers i was too for the tiny town

i lived in entiat

[low sorrel]

and apperenity they are expanding again after i graduated

[merry stirrup]

in between wenatchee and chelan

[vale cosmos]

my school had a shockingly good broadcast setup

[low sorrel]

these motherfuckers

[merry stirrup]

real shit

[vale cosmos]

gay? west coast?

[inland wind]

Yeah the state or the capital

[vale cosmos]

not DC lol

[low sorrel]

so did we

iirc it was donated from film companies with basically just last gen film/studio equipment

[frank zealot]

This is so dumb.

170$ for an AIO without any fans.

Bring your own.

[merry stirrup]

looks like it could be for a dgpu lol

would be cool, bring back nzxt g2 brackets

[low sorrel]

I would fw it if i was 69.99 instead

[inland wind]

Putting AIO on affirm is insane

[merry stirrup]

if its 170$ i expect it to have the single best aio block ever made for a cpu ihs

[frank zealot]

with the lcd, being over 100 could make sense, but not 170 bucks

170 is absolutely a complete aio's territory

[low sorrel]

not without fans imo

[frank zealot]

wanna bet lol

(in phanteks defense: that's an all in one open loop kit with block and rad and res, etc.)

the other ones do NO have any defense lol

[low sorrel]

what is that thermal take kit

[merry stirrup]

custom wc kit for cpu loop

the TR one makes sense surprisngly

[frank zealot]

DIY Harline apparently:

sort of, that's a trash tier block if i've ever seen one

[merry stirrup]

yeah looks gross

[low sorrel]

that block looks like ass

[merry stirrup]

at 360$ you could do better but at least its all in one pl;ace

[shell void]

chat how much protein is in this?

[merry stirrup]

errmm floppa estimates 60-120g

[frank zealot]

no thanks

[merry stirrup]

huge range just for you

[low sorrel]

1-100000000

[merry stirrup]

at least its nickel on the bottom but omg the screws

[frank zealot]

zero. buns are for cuddles, not eating

[low sorrel]

when bulid custom loop floppa

[shell void]

idk if i can’t find the mom then i’ll probably just eat it

[merry stirrup]

when it becomes economically smart

[cinder basalt]

After seeing how bad some of the LTT guys who never did water cooling were... I'll never do it myself

[random flame]

60-120 in cuteness.

[karmic folio]

[cinder basalt]

just the maintenance is a big nope for me

[merry stirrup]

delid/lapping/lm is cheaper and gets more performance comparitively

custom wc doesnt gain enough at 400ish dollars to complete for me to care over just risking my cpu

[frank zealot]

it's worth trying if you want to.

But it's not a "do it for the performance" task

[low sorrel]

looks cool

[merry stirrup]

does look cool but i care about that less than oc

[low sorrel]

i kinda wanna diy a desk

[cinder basalt]

in my nearly 30 years building PC's never have I done one

[low sorrel]

how much could it possibly cost

[shell void]

if you’re not doing direct die with a mora then you don’t care about OC

[merry stirrup]

can get the same/close to the same as a custom loop with just a 20$ ali delid tool and 70$ worth of aio than you can with a custom loop and stock ihs

[frank zealot]

custom loop?

Anywhere from 350ish to 1K+

[random flame]

Cuddling is only for if you wish for violent scarring and trauma with some buns though. Lol.

[merry stirrup]

simply dont make sense unless you haev the extra racks or want the cool computer

i want funny 6ghz number

[frank zealot]

if you teach a baby bun to cuddle, it'll cuddle for life

[low sorrel]

no custom desk

[shell void]

it’s not that expensive compared to a 5090 or other new parts

i’m just lazy

[frank zealot]

10K USD Desk mentioned?
@edgy laurel

sorry, but custom desks were mentioned, so it had to be brought up

[low sorrel]

hm?

[frank zealot]

deep lore mentioned, don't worry about it

but for "custom desk"

You need to base it on what you're planning to build. You can go custom for 200-300 bucks, or you can go custom for 5-10K bucks for a desk

[low sorrel]

i am not spending 10k on a desk ever

9999.99 on the other hand

[frank zealot]

some people do. Custom has a lot of range

[merry stirrup]

yeah those epoxy tables are wild

[frank zealot]

if you deal hunt, you can go cheap

[merry stirrup]

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

people would pay hella bones for somethin like this

[low sorrel]

only thing i want out of a desk is made out of real wood and adjustable height

[frank zealot]

bruh, these are crazy:

[frank zealot]

At that point, just buy a good set of standing legs with motor.

And then get either butcherblock or a custom countertop

[low sorrel]

pick em up

[frank zealot]

hell no

[low sorrel]

why

[frank zealot]

okay marketplace... why?

[merry stirrup]

hey the dog looks mostly okay tho

just uhhh suspended

[low sorrel]

true

but like i kinda wanna do it myself

[pallid marsh]

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-46-in-W-x-24-in-Deep-Adjustable-Height-Work-Table-with-Solid-Wood-Top-Gloss-Black-HOWT46XDB12/332695645

[low sorrel]

sounds like fun

[young void]

Puppers low key does this every rebuild 😂

[merry stirrup]

💀

[young void]

Spins "super dogggg"

[low sorrel]

rages in squad: desk rolls away and down the stairs

[frank zealot]

the standing part, or the tabletop

[low sorrel]

both

[merry stirrup]

standing yourself is wild just buy some aftermarket legs lowk

[frank zealot]

I 110% Get wanting to do the tabletop, but I would 1000% never do the legs

[merry stirrup]

use some trim or vinyl

on the legs to make them look a lil custom

[low sorrel]

I know the legs is a terrible idea

[steel stream]

Dude I would take that in a second that is awesome

[merry stirrup]

diy your own hydraulics what could go wrong

idk if standing desks are hydraulic lowk

[low sorrel]

exactly

some are

[merry stirrup]

probably if we're being real

[merry stirrup]

yeah it would make sense to me

[steel stream]

don't do Fire cube imo

[frank zealot]

I turned this into a bitchin' TV Stand

[merry stirrup]

ooo

id get rid of the bottom grate and call it good

clean it up back in the livingroom

[frank zealot]

I've got to have pics of it finished , but I can't find any offhand

[merry stirrup]

i dont take enough pictures of anything i do

[low sorrel]

are all of the standing desk legs just all metal

i want woodddddddddddddddddd

[merry stirrup]

there is 0 pictures of my computer with the 5070ti installed

[merry stirrup]

thats why im sayin vinyl is probably going to be the meta

just a wood looking wrap

so it doesnt get caught in the internals of the legs or on the edges like real wood trim would

[low sorrel]

i understand that metal is miles better but wood looks nice yk

[pallid marsh]

Didn't know you were rich

[merry stirrup]

yea but like logistically idk if wood works

for a uhh diy standing sitting desk

[steel stream]

nah

[low sorrel]

no

i mean it "works"

[merry stirrup]

like ok you could do the outside bit

[frank zealot]

found one thing:
I used oak 1x5's (I think? maybe 1x6's?) to build shelves for the stand

[merry stirrup]

yes ive been having this whole conversation with you while looking at the legs

we just have extra ones in the it office idk why

[low sorrel]

can i buy some

[merry stirrup]

yooo thats fire. we get free scrap wood from work and i think i want to do some oak or walnut

[merry stirrup]

only 1 that would work sadly, theyre from uplift desk check there

[pallid marsh]

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Montezuma-4-ft-to-6-ft-Adjustable-Steel-Workbench-Frame-MSF4829B/314380826 then add a butcher block top

[merry stirrup]

https://www.upliftdesk.com/

[frank zealot]

I think the metal frame is designed to support in the realm of 500-750 lbs?

So, like, a TV and stuff is zero worry. But yeah, I'm all for upcycling

[merry stirrup]

yeah real shit

even if its just recycling

like that 100$ puter i picked up

this guy responded to me at 8am and i responded at 9 and im getting NOTHING

PLEASE give me this cool computer

[low sorrel]

couldn't i just buy some lumber and just cut out my own desktop

[merry stirrup]

yes

id research the process of it so yuou do it decentlu

altho its a table top

[low sorrel]

isn't just a big rectangle

can't be that hard

[merry stirrup]

real

inb4 house collapses cause he took the studs from his walls for legs

[pallid marsh]

You have a jointer,planer,sander, and big clamps?

[steel stream]

Jerry discovers woodworking

[low sorrel]

I have a uncle who owns an construction company

just borrow it from him

[merry stirrup]

he’s gonna leave the server and just build desks for the rest of his days

will end up better off than tje rest of us

these stupid transistors cook the brain

[spiral quarry]

I am reminded of how my friend mounted his tv when him and his wife moved into their first apartment.

hanging on by pure drywall and no stud

[low sorrel]

no no no

[steel stream]

the transistors think better than I do

[merry stirrup]

the transistors know what i want

[spiral quarry]

how the fuck that thing managed to stay that way for a whole year until they moved to a new apartment is wild lol.

But no more wall mounted tv

[merry stirrup]

yeah we avoided doing it in my house

plaster walls and shit stud layout

did not follow code

[merry stirrup]

(so thicker than most mounting hw would assume)

[frank zealot]

Whelp, as if EA wasn't bad enough to begin with.

(Affinity Partners, one of the buyers, was founded by Jared Kushner)

[spiral quarry]

yeehaw pretty much the new part of my house too.

[pallid marsh]

My mom installed a towel hanger straight into the drywall, but luckily it shared the wall with the furnace room so I went on the other side and screwed a wooden mouse trap to the other side xD

[merry stirrup]

yep it’s ok tho

the house hasn’t fallen over yet

we’re fiiiine

just overclock the studs duh lol

what are the timings on this chunk of wood

[spiral quarry]

Why I refuse to move my office to the new part and stay in the old one. At the cost of the way the electrical circuits are ran here.

[pallid marsh]

And you are too lazy

[merry stirrup]

2nd true option

[low sorrel]

Wait my dad has a bunch of left over lumber from when he built a staircase a while back

Couldn't I just make a desktop out that

[merry stirrup]

desk

[merry stirrup]

yeah just as long as it’s not shit wood and will flatten nicely

[pallid marsh]

How will you finish the wood?

[spiral quarry]

I think this winter I'm converting an bookshelf to rack mount my systems in lol.

[frank zealot]

depends on the wood

[low sorrel]

Oak I believe

[frank zealot]

dimensions, lengths, etc. all of those matter

Also, do you have any experience with woodworking?

[frank cypress]

winter cannot come soon enough

I fucking love the winter

fall good too though

[spiral quarry]

agreed

[low sorrel]

I have used a saw about 4 times ever

[spiral quarry]

cherishing the small cool down right now

[frank cypress]

💪 💪

[pallid marsh]

You never took wood working classes in school?

[frank cypress]

cant wait to let my 13900ks stretch it's legs a lil

[steel stream]

it's 81f today, 14f above the average bring me the fall

[frank zealot]

Building a desk might be a big of a lift if that's your experience level

[frank zealot]

most schools don't have those anymore

[spiral quarry]

And a good time to encode a bunch of old go pro footage aka heating the room

[low sorrel]

Nah I took CS, robotics, auto, media arts, art, band instead

[pallid marsh]

Nerd

[frank cypress]

people say intel ain't efficient but that "waste heat" is heating up the house

[low sorrel]

Everything expect woodworking loo

[frank cypress]

[merry stirrup]

buy apex and go 8k mem

[pallid marsh]

Band < wood working

[frank cypress]

thats 100% efficiency right there

[low sorrel]

Yeah I quit band

[frank zealot]

is building a desk doable?
Absolutely.

But if you've got (nearly) zero woodworking experience/ You'll be in for a ride

[low sorrel]

And art

[frank cypress]

brokege

[steel stream]

truth

[merry stirrup]

only 500 bazillion dollars

[frank cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/exploding-cat-cat-blowing-up-cat-explosion-gif-6096353006687676670

[low sorrel]

What could possibly go wrong

[frank cypress]

my last 5 dollars in my bank account

[rigid orchid]

Even at 90 usd?

[steel stream]

yes

[frank zealot]

you destroy hundreds of dollars worth of wood and get nothing productive out of it

[pallid marsh]

Well it's you we are talking about so cutting off fingers

[spiral quarry]

never was in band but somehow made it into their friend group...some odd people but decent human beings.

[low sorrel]

Oh right instead of burning my hands by dropping an soldiering iron of my hands I just cut them off

[low sorrel]

But learning experience

[frank zealot]

spensive one, but yup

[merry stirrup]

no longer i took it for timmies

[low sorrel]

Maybe I should ask for help from the people in my life who actually know how to do this

[merry stirrup]

the loonies and toonies are mine

[low sorrel]

Nahhhhhh

[rigid orchid]

Are there other devices besides the shield and fire cube that can do upscaling?

[steel stream]

This is where my expertise runs out, I only really know about audio, I did not care for upscaling as much

[low sorrel]

I mean how hard could it possibly be to cut a rectangle

[merry stirrup]

idk some welding shops cant make a square

[low sorrel]

I should learn welding eventually

Why didn't I just take these classes in school

[pallid marsh]

Because you're a stupid idiot that took art and band over a useful real life skill like wood working

[low sorrel]

Blame my sister she made me take art and band

[spiral quarry]

I was forced to take art lol.

[pallid marsh]

She has no power over you

[low sorrel]

Also I wasn't allowed any other electives that year

[pallid marsh]

Spitting excuses frfr

[spiral quarry]

Did your counsellor also randomise the schedule.

[random flame]

I have... No real opinions on EA anymore, honestly.

[low sorrel]

I mean the first year of school your choices music art or dance

If I remembered correctly

[spiral quarry]

oh for me it was art or computer lab

also had no choice cause they picked that for you

[pallid marsh]

Computer lab was forced for us

[frank zealot]

remember when these were a hot go to for PCs?

[spiral quarry]

Only class I really got that I picked was Graphic Design.

[steel stream]

You mean like HTPCs?

[low sorrel]

Computer lab was also forced

[frank zealot]

that Pic took entirely too long to upload

[steel stream]

ohhhh

[frank zealot]

Why are text messages taking time to actually send in here, is Discord being weird?

[steel stream]

yeah that makes more sense

[spiral quarry]

huh either I got lucky or almost got given it lol.

[low sorrel]

In all your years of highschool?

[spiral quarry]

Nah first year

[slim pebble]

I just replace my fluid every 5-6 months. The most work I’ve done is clean my block fins after a year.

[spiral quarry]

Out of all the students I was the only 9th grader in it.

[slim pebble]

Pressure test passed?

[topaz veldt]

Always feels better doing on a build this compact

[spiral quarry]

Ironic I still keep in touch with 3 teachers from high school, but they were caring enough to reach out to me.

[low sorrel]

I had a lot of choices in highschool because my parents forced me to take 3 summer school classes every year

Nuking my mental health but at least I got a ton of freeblocks

[spiral quarry]

That's nice, my last year was the only time I got it.

[slim pebble]

I just check every fitting and check for leaks while the pump runs. Worst I’ve had was an EK fitting that would let out a drip of water if you twisted it, so I replaced that fitting.

[spiral quarry]

Out by lunch

[topaz veldt]

Yeah, I just don't feel like finding out that one of these Corsair radiators has a flaw and sprays water all over my 5090

[slim pebble]

I probably need a pressure test tool

[spiral quarry]

Albeit not out....dual enrollment so I still had to deal with one or two community college classes.

[rigid orchid]

I unfortunately already order the fire cube and can't cancel it lol. Hopefully it won't be bad tho

[slim pebble]

The only rads I’ve heard of that leaked are alphacool, HW labs are made better.

[steel stream]

only one way to find out right

[low sorrel]

I just got trolled by my freeblocks every time

I had to come in during the morning and then no classes for 3 hours and then have a class at the end of day

[thick frost]

Old fan is wearing its old man badge

[fringe vigil]

All this for what

snail do u have a beach house

[low sorrel]

How did we get into this topic

[merry stirrup]

re-oilable, very cool

wont ever go bad if you find the right grease or whatever

(probably)

[thick frost]

It’s the intake for my windows xp gaming pc and it’s a 60mm so I have none laying around

[slim pebble]

Pretty sure I learned that from you @topaz veldt 😂. When I rinsed the brand new HWLABs rads, nothing came out, there was no paint or powder coating slop inside of the ports, and the welds were clean.

[merry stirrup]

idk maybe dielectric grease is the proper stuff if you ever want to

this was my second guess

[topaz veldt]

Anything can happen though

[topaz veldt]

😬

[fringe vigil]

yes or no

[topaz veldt]

Bro

[fringe vigil]

I want one

[topaz veldt]

I have two vacation houses

[fringe vigil]

I’m jealous

[topaz veldt]

One is in NJ one is in FL

My wife actually down at FL now

[fringe vigil]

oh no

[topaz veldt]

She got a business trip in Tampa so she flew into Miami

[fringe vigil]

do u invite friends over

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

I will take people out on boat in FL

[fringe vigil]

wow

how much can I get summer house in Massachusetts

[topaz veldt]

NJ house more weekend-able

[low sorrel]

More then 1 dollar

[topaz veldt]

Depends

I personally would not go to Massachusetts for its beaches

[low sorrel]

You should invite me :p

[fringe vigil]

I need to get mega rich first

ugh

[steel stream]

get your money up sir

and not your funny up

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil I even showed you I was playing Mafia on the beach

[fringe vigil]

Yes

He needs both

I'm hungry

[pallid marsh]

For enchiladas?

[low sorrel]

Hi hungry I'm dad

[turbid locust]

I just ate for the first time today like 20 mins ago lmao

Finally got a moment at work and went “holy shit I’ve only had 260mg of caffeine to eat today”

It’s been a Monday

[fervent elm]

Real

[steel stream]

my boss has caught onto the fact I've been slacking lately, I am not looking forward to working tomorrow

[topaz veldt]

Oh good

Oh god*

[merry stirrup]

breakfast of champions

[indigo walrus]

That's when you know... It's time for another cup of coffee.

[turbid locust]

I had been up since 8:30a and all I had until 4p was a mini 100mg Alani and a monster lmfao

[turbid locust]

rip

[fervent elm]

Can of rockstar and some cherry coke has been breakfast
I hate closing shift

[merry stirrup]

cherry coke so good

[fervent elm]

Fountain coke tho
So a bit odd

[steel stream]

hell yeah

[turbid locust]

I’m like a month and a half into my new position and bossman stopped asking if I was doing ok like 3 weeks ago so I guess I’m doing alright

no feedback is good feedback in my book

[steel stream]

yup

[turbid locust]

I am a positive reinforcement fiend tho

imposter syndrome goes fuckin crazy

[steel stream]

You're doing a good job

[frank zealot]

They're evolving and I do not like it:

[torpid blaze]

the gasoline cup method

[shell void]

oh hell no

[frank zealot]

you misspelled Bazooka

[torpid blaze]

i have to deal with them atleast once a month at my work place

[frank zealot]

do yours make concrete bunkers?

[torpid blaze]

kinda

i work next to construction zone

basically the climbing gym has these walls that make it easy to install a route but they all have holes

so i have to inspect each hole cause sometimes those evil spawns of satan camp in them

my boss is too scared to handle anything wildlife so it ends up being my job

[steel stream]

what the fuck

[frank zealot]

oh, thank you AI, If I ever need to unalive myself, I'll just ask for some wiring assistance:

[merry stirrup]

yo whos outlets are like this

[frank zealot]

the AI's, obviously

[merry stirrup]

its like combining all the common aspect ratios to get 16:9

[steel stream]

uhhhhhhhh

[merry stirrup]

we combined every commonly used plug into one god awful thing

[steel stream]

everythign is connected in that plug

live is connected to neutral, live is also connected to ground

[frank zealot]

but also somehow there is no live coming into the plug, either

so it's just an absolute cluster

[steel stream]

AI is so smart

[rich idol]

What factors should i consider when picking a motherboard? My current pick is the ASUS TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS WIFI, but when it was originally picked it was picked due to budget constraints, the budget has since increased, not saying i wanna upgrade to the most expensive and meanest motherboard out there, just wondering what i should consider so i can decide whether to keep this motherboard or change it

[fervent elm]

Any b650 really
Most are really overbuilt

[frank zealot]

do not get A620 ever, it's a terrible chipset

Any B650 or B850 would be awesome. Going to x70 is overkill typically

[fervent elm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/b8P8TW/asrock-b650m-pg-lightning-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-pg-lightning-wifi
Pretty decent board with wifi for 120

[pallid marsh]

I wouldn't get a A series board

Or ASRock

[pallid marsh]

ASRock has been killing cpus

[merry stirrup]

we're currently avoiding asrock until someone can tell us whats goin on

[frank zealot]

Isn't it mostly jsut x3d that's been an issue on asrock?

[merry stirrup]

unless power user i just wouldnt recoomend an asrock baord and go with the 3$ difference on another brand

[merry stirrup]

mostly yeah but still killing normal cpus guilty has pointed out

[pallid marsh]

It really sucks all the cheapest good boards are asrock (not including killing cpus as good)

[merry stirrup]

for now best to avoid until X vendor can say oh it was this causing a million soc volts or whatever

[rich idol]

what happened to ASRock? i currently have an ASRock mainboard in my current PC, granted it's old

[fervent elm]

Betterer gigabyte board
130, wifi
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9HTZxr/gigabyte-b650m-gaming-plus-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-gaming-plus-wf

[pallid marsh]

And regular cpus

[frank zealot]

There's some kind of issue in the BIOS/Firmware/Other settings that is blowing up some AMD CPUs

[merry stirrup]

their recent AM5 uefi's seem to have some form of issues requesting voltages and cause more cpu explosions than other vendors

[pallid marsh]

Suzi a member here had a "ASRock b850 and 9600x the 9600x got a burnt spot and died

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[pallid marsh]

After 3 months?

[merry stirrup]

seems like something with the SOC, which makes sense that these chips stop showing any signs of life

[merry stirrup]

(based on location of the bubble or burnt pads online)

[rich idol]

now are you saying that b850 is bad or that it was an ASRock mainboard that happened to also be b850?

[pallid marsh]

The ASRock b850

[pure garnet]

tf is that board better than

[fervent elm]

Asrock bomb board i linked before it

[pure garnet]

are those the only 2 options

no 2025 platform should have a dvi port on it

[pallid marsh]

What country are you in

[rich idol]

norway

i'm ordering from a local retailer

[fervent elm]

B840??

[pure garnet]

wait is that vga and ps2

[frank zealot]

B840 isn't AMD... do you mean B850?

[pallid marsh]

It is

[pure garnet]

b840 is an amd chipset

[pallid marsh]

https://no.pcpartpicker.com/product/Dvhv6h/gigabyte-b650m-d3hp-ax-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-d3hp-ax

[rich idol]

my current board is an asrock b550m itx ac

[merry stirrup]

b840 is new a520 orwhatever

[frank zealot]

they renamed the aX20? Fuckers

[pure garnet]

a620 -> b840

[pallid marsh]

B840 has memory oc but no cpu

[fervent elm]

Norwegian listing
Wifi
Ithink cheap
https://no.pcpartpicker.com/product/Dvhv6h/gigabyte-b650m-d3hp-ax-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-d3hp-ax

[frank zealot]

okay, avoid B840 I guess. The bottom tier chipsets are generally always TERRIBLE

[rich idol]

Holy shit you can set regional retailers on pc part picker?!

[pallid marsh]

Also shit gen 3

[pallid marsh]

Yup

[pure garnet]

okay yeah that gigabyte board has a vga port

we gotta raise our standards here

[steel stream]

bro what gen 3

[pallid marsh]

Welcome to 2010

[merry stirrup]

trying to figure out why this rig at work idles at 70w

[rich idol]

that's epic

for me it's just a country flag, idk why

maybe cause i have a profile on pc part picker and i'm logged in?

either way, still cool

[pallid marsh]

On mobile when I click on it list names with no flag

[frank zealot]

nah, still 2020, but.... that's still a long-ass time ago.

[rich idol]

maybe it's a desktop thing?

[frank zealot]

Intel 400 Chipsets and Core 10 series and AMD Chipsets until B550 and X570 were still gen 3

okay x570 released in mid-2019, so that's when PCIE 4 actually came out for the masses

[tender heron]

Yo is this build alright, its my first one and a friend put the pieces together for me https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vh8VVF

[merry stirrup]

was ur bro in here earlier this looks familiar

[pure garnet]

it’s kinda the visuals focused starter pack

[merry stirrup]

no like

i literally made this list an hour ago

[pallid marsh]

Could've saved $75 not getting a aio

[pure garnet]

i’d get a cheaper case/ditch the aio and throw more money at the gpu

[tender heron]

Ya floppy my friend said he got it from a server

[merry stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VtF2PJ

[tender heron]

His name Henry

[merry stirrup]

not here his name is luffy

[merry stirrup]

the watercooling is pointless

he put that back in after i took it away what an opp

bro wants you to spend 3x more on a cooler for nothing

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B9Q4zP

[tender heron]

His user is koutris

[pure garnet]

why are we still keeping the $120 fishbowl

[merry stirrup]

his friend specified it earlier

went thru the whole song and dance

[pure garnet]

why get faster gpu when rgb fan exist fr

[merry stirrup]

unless i made this guy a list thats literally 1:1 to what you just sent me

out of pure coincidence

while also choosing the same cooler he originally chose

[steel stream]

1000-1500 is a huge range

[merry stirrup]

yeah that was the comment under that in the screenshto 💀

[pallid marsh]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9gmtZc

[merry stirrup]

7500f change to 145 manually

[tender heron]

Cool thanks

[merry stirrup]

otherwise no price

[merry stirrup]

😭 bro ignored my list not coopas i see how it is

[tender heron]

You didnt send me a list

[merry stirrup]

you cant read

[tender heron]

Oooohhh i see it

[merry stirrup]

💀

[tender heron]

Is it good?

[merry stirrup]

yes

both good choose whichever one

[pallid marsh]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HhrkYd made it cheaper

[merry stirrup]

id keep 9060xt 16gb and go 2tb nvme personally idk

how much better is 5070?

hard bargain me thinks

[pure garnet]

35%

[merry stirrup]

damn ok nevermind

[merry stirrup]

did NOT know it was that bad

disregard

[pallid marsh]

5070 would be great if it wasn't for the 12gb of vram reeeee

[pure garnet]

as opposed to 16gb you can’t do anything with i’ll take it

[merry stirrup]

deadass lol

i hardly go over 12

[tender heron]

How?

[merry stirrup]

in the games i play most ive never gotten over 12gb used

[pallid marsh]

I max out my 8gb daily

[merry stirrup]

a 50% swing

[tender heron]

Oh i see

[steel stream]

1500 is a 1.5x increase from 1000, that's a big change

[pallid marsh]

$500 is a whole gpu

[tender heron]

So you said coopas build is better?

Floppy

[merry stirrup]

yesms

[edgy laurel]

[pure garnet]

if you have a $1500 budget then you can get a lot better

but what does 1000-1500 mean

[merry stirrup]

yeah like realistically what do you want to spend

1500 max is ok cause we do usually overshoot the budget a lil

[merry stirrup]

seriously baffling me idk why expected them to be closer

[pallid marsh]

[tender heron]

Im fine spending up to 1500

[pure garnet]

probably because the 9070xt and 5070ti are so close

[merry stirrup]

fair enough

ig 5070 competitor is more the 9070 non xt but that hardly makes sense to buy

for a 1500$ budget im not doing a tray processor

[pallid marsh]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tmjz4p

[merry stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q3nfwY

[pallid marsh]

For RT the competitor is the XT model too

[merry stirrup]

either of the two lists nate

literally close your eyes and click on one and itll be basically the same as the other

[pallid marsh]

Hey you stole my ssd

[merry stirrup]

hey you stole MY ssd

[fringe vigil]

guilty emoji

[pallid marsh]

Nu uh

[merry stirrup]

you stole my gpu too wtf

[pallid marsh]

I did

[merry stirrup]

rude

[pallid marsh]

5070ti is a good jump

[tender heron]

There’s too mannyyyyy which one

[pure garnet]

as divine overlord pick this one https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q3nfwY

[merry stirrup]

either of the most recent two lists

[merry stirrup]

LETS GOOO

this rig has not stopped drawing 80w idle

[pure garnet]

temps look like my x3d the other day

[tender heron]

There’s a warning

[pure garnet]

unless you get stock from the stone age the warning won't matter

[merry stirrup]

yeah hp garbage

but idk why its djust drawing 80w

its sitting there idling on windows and package draw hardly moves

[pure garnet]

or if no warning makes you feel better https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gwfWkf

[merry stirrup]

14nm power

[tender heron]

With that setup what’s the highest fps i can run

[merry stirrup]

not how computers work

a million, whatever you want

i cannot spit out a number that every game will run at

they all run differently and require different aspects of your computer to run good

you will get good performance. a number of FPS that you have nothing to compare to is a stupid way of going about it

you will launch the game and it will run good

[frank zealot]

minecraft, 720p low, low chunks, about 2000 fps

[merry stirrup]

+1

my future answer

[frank zealot]

best part is, it's probably not even imaginary lol

[merry stirrup]

nah or you underestimated even lol

either way each game will run different and feel playable at different fps values so yeah

i assure u if you build the pc properly you will have 0 problems running any game tho

[frank zealot]

Except Borderlands 4.

Fuck Borderlands 4.

[rich idol]

Is PCIe 5 backwards compatible with 4?

[edgy laurel]

yes

[frank zealot]

all PCIE is inter-compatible

[merry stirrup]

indoubitably

[frank zealot]

but as of today: There's little to no reason to go out of your way to buy anything that's PCIE 5.

[rich idol]

So i'm not gonna cause a singularity by plugging a PCIe 4 card into a PCIe 5 slot

[frank zealot]

no, it'll just work

[rich idol]

[fringe vigil]

[frank zealot]

Also: Avoid PCIE 5 NVME Drives. They add headaches and no real benefits

[fringe vigil]

[merry stirrup]

these fbm sellers hate money

why respond to me and then when i respond to you
you seemingly forget where your phone is for 6 hours

I WANT YOUR COMPUTER

guy resp onds a week later and i still responded within 2 hours

and mf hasnt even looked at it

[rich idol]

so what is the matter with a-series motherboards? explain it like i'm 5

[merry stirrup]

they are low end not cheap and exclude basic features

generally no reason to purchase unless you literally cannot stretch a b850/b650 or wtv board period in your budget

[edgy laurel]

barebones feature-set and I/O, no PBO

[merry stirrup]

presed the back button on my mouse and my music connected to my phone paused

i am god

[rich idol]

So i guess the general consensus is i should get a b650 motherboard then, since b850's appear to only have PCIe 5 slots, and as previously established there's no reason to get PCIe 5 slots currently

[frank zealot]

when you upgrade later

but get a 650 or 850, based on price

[tender heron]

Is a rtx 3060 good

[merry stirrup]

its aight

[edgy laurel]

i hate everything

[merry stirrup]

why are you asking that with a thousand dollar budget

[frank zealot]

compared to a 1050? yes

Compared to a 4090? no

[edgy laurel]

what does good mean, how is one supposed to answer this

[merry stirrup]

if youre not going to build your pc any time soon going to be real that time we spent making lists is irrelevant

"yeah gonna build this in 2 years, saving up now"

[frank zealot]

What is this dude smoking?

[merry stirrup]

[edgy laurel]

why do people think that question makes any sense????

[merry stirrup]

😭

idk ig a lot of people assume X gpu runs games at X framerate and itll never vary

[tender heron]

Im trying to order today

[merry stirrup]

but simply not the case

[edgy laurel]

i guess. without context its an unhelpful question at best

[rich idol]

at my retailer of choice both B650 and B850 motherboards are in the same price range, the price only fluctuates by 100 dollars on average

[merry stirrup]

yeah really just depends on

[merry stirrup]

yknow everything

[merry stirrup]

cheapest that looks good

like visually yes

[merry stirrup]

example of a bad choice:

[rich idol]

I'll try to find one that visually resembles the ASUS TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS WIFI i originally picked then, i liked some of the options it had as far as m.2 and sata goes

[merry stirrup]

example of a more decent choice

[merry stirrup]

the tuf gaming one is a whole lineup of boards, they should have another TUF in b650 or b850

a bazillion more too

[rich idol]

if only my local retailer let me filter by lineup, i can only filter by manufacturer

then again all the motherboards available in b650 and b850 fit on one page so i could just ctrl + F and type "TUF"

[merry stirrup]

lol

[fringe vigil]

[wise bear]

Monday pizza night lets fuckin goooo

[rich idol]

are AMD systems more flexible when it comes to ram configuration or does it not matter? i once heard that nvidia likes 2 ram sticks where as AMD is more flexible whether you use 2 or 4

[wise bear]

...for gpus? I don't think it matters

[pure garnet]

on every ddr5 platform you are using 2 sticks

4 sticks is a gigantic headache hellscape

[rich idol]

what about ddr4?

[pure garnet]

4 is easier but you're not buying a ddr4 system in 2025

[rich idol]

64 gigs it is then

[merry stirrup]

96 or 128 actually

[pure garnet]

to do what with

[thick frost]

Isn’t she handsome

[rich idol]

pardon?

[merry stirrup]

48 g x 2
64 g x 2

[rich idol]

Gaming, video editing, photo editing, streaming, 3D modelling

[rich idol]

32 x2

[merry stirrup]

okay but thats not the max

[rich idol]

my retailer of choice does not carry 64 gb sticks, so for 128 i would've had to get 4 32 gig sticks

[merry stirrup]

if u need 128 it doesnt matter on d5 if its in 4 sticks or not but if youre going to game on the side i wouldnt do 4 stick

[merry stirrup]

ah i see

yeah if you dont go over 64g i wouldnt get more than 4 sticks

[pallid marsh]

4 sticks bad

[merry stirrup]

if unavoidable tho its unavoidable tho

most things caring about capacity cant care about speed because it just needs RAM

[rich idol]

then again.. the retailer i'm getting the PSU from carries 64 gb sticks so maybe i could buy my ram from them instead

[pallid marsh]

Any 2x48 kits?

[rich idol]

I probably won't need 128 gigs, but my great grandma's apartment got sold and i got 4000 dollars from the earnings, i figured i could splurge a little

[pallid marsh]

Is this just for gaming?

[rich idol]

^

I assume the CAS latency natually increases with capacity? cause the lowest CL i can find on 64 gig sticks is 32

[merry stirrup]

just depends on the freq mostly but yeah

[rich idol]

6000

[pure garnet]

cas latency is basically just an ego timing as long as it’s not ridiculous

6000cl32 is fine

[rich idol]

I'll probably go with the 2x 32gig CL28 sticks i found, they have a decent price, the 2x 64 gig CL32 sticks i found cost almost as much as the GPU i picked out

I'll essentially blow my budget out of the water if i go with 2x 64 gigs

[rich idol]

pardon?

[torpid blaze]

one blow away is all it takes

[edgy laurel]

New in box

[torpid blaze]

imagine using that for comp gaming

[thick frost]

Make sure to clean your balls regularly to keep your pointing device in working order

[torpid blaze]

you got me the first half there

[edgy laurel]

flashbacks to 20+ years ago cleaning our home computers Kensington trackball and rollers

[thick frost]

Not a bad idea either

[torpid blaze]

fair point

[thick frost]

The Apple mouse I use on my Macintosh SE is a ball mouse

it is not good

[rich idol]

I actually have a few PS/2 mice lying around somewhere

[thick frost]

I need one of those but I bought a serial mouse instead because it looked funny

[rich idol]

I remember when we had computer classes in primary school some of the kids would unscrew the cap on the bottom of the mouse and then throw the ball as hard as they could at someone

[torpid blaze]

are those things rubber or

[rich idol]

they are

[torpid blaze]

i never seen one personally

[thick frost]

They’re solid rubber and are pretty heavy

[rich idol]

but very hard rubber

[thick frost]

My Macintosh se mouse

[rich idol]

imagine a bouncy ball that's been left alone for half a decade and isn't as squishy any more

[edgy laurel]

mouse I grew up on

[thick frost]

And also doesn’t bounce

[edgy laurel]

one big button

[rich idol]

they usually lose that ability when you leave them alone for 5-or-so-years

[thick frost]

Didn’t need more, need to “right click”? Press the command key ya idiot

[edgy laurel]

Yeah! (that was actually dumb)

[edgy laurel]

typically stainless steel coated in rubber, so it doesn't bounce well

[rich idol]

One of my relatives who is disabled has this mouse that's like a 20x20 cm slab with a huge ball in the middle to control the mouse it's freaking ancient and it's really cool

[thick frost]

They’re like a pound

[rich idol]

I didn't know that, explains why it hurt when the kids in class threw them at people

[edgy laurel]

probably

[thick frost]

Throwing rocks at people hurts, believe it or not

[edgy laurel]

big-ass ball bearing with a safety coating of rubber

[thick frost]

Ball, 2 rollers, and a support roller. Shrimple.

[pallid marsh]

Is that how we got the rubber pop toys

[edgy laurel]

needs to be heavy to keep "traction", if you know what i mean

[rich idol]

I was suddenly reminded of nintendo's patent for the N64 analog stick, i don't even know how related it is

[thick frost]

That’s also why it tracks like ass on my traditional desk pad

tracks better on a solid wood surface

[edgy laurel]

i remember using those more vinyl coated ones

or similar

[thick frost]

Ah I’ve never thought of that

I feel like mine always under or overshoots where I’m trying to go, but that could just be because it’s tired. And I’ve done the required maintenance

[edgy laurel]

like it was a thin plastic top with foam underneath

still flexible

[brave panther]

is it steel or lead?

[edgy laurel]

the one in the picture was steel, the guy who cut it open said it was magnetic

i suppose that might not be all of them

[brave panther]

prob reused existing manufacturing capacity of ball bearings

[torpid blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/counterargument-godzilla-gif-23537791

[rigid orchid]

Yep. Tho as long as it can do decent dolby vision and dolby atmos passthrough for my jellyfin library, I'll be happy lol

[pallid marsh]

Akn knows nothing about Dolby vision because his high end Samsung OLED lacks support for it

[steel stream]

I am not sure fire cube has good passthrough support

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-mad-angry-meme-fantastic-gif-24971258

[rigid orchid]

I still don't get why Samsung hates dolby vision

[steel stream]

I know my dolby vision movies don't play right

let me go grab a picture rq

[pallid marsh]

They have to pay $1-3 per unit for licensing

[edgy laurel]

that makes sense. so why does LG hate HDR10+

[steel stream]

this is what a Dolby Vision movie (with a supposed HDR10+/HDR10 fallback) looks like

[edgy laurel]

well then

everything you've done just tells me a mini-PC is the best solution

actually no. a bluray player is the best solution

[steel stream]

now i have to use a Dolby vision remover tool over WiFi to watch my movie

[steel stream]

I could just start buying blu-rays for my PS5

embrace physical media once again

[pallid marsh]

Are they shining a spotlight on him in the movie?

[steel stream]

there are lights on the track

but the playback just absolutely demolishes contrast too

[edgy laurel]

the word for that is deep fried

[steel stream]

isn't deepfried more increasing contrast?

this decreases contrast

[pallid marsh]

I'm happy I went with a 65 TCL mini led over the 55 s90d

[rigid orchid]

I'll have to see how my tv actually handles dolby vision stuff lol, I've only tried hdr10

[torpid blaze]

that tv is gonna look more realistic then real life

actually im curious

[steel stream]

which TV

[torpid blaze]

what would look better

20/20 vision looking outside or a high end tv

[rigid orchid]

And hdr10 on it despite being a bit dark does look really good

[steel stream]

depends

[torpid blaze]

what would the factors be

[steel stream]

Your age

[torpid blaze]

lets say 20-30?

adult age in general

what would arguably be visually more beautiful for your eyes

looking outside or a high end tv

if you had perfect vision

[steel stream]

most cases probably the TV, unless you were in a super nice area

also here is an (SDR) ss of the movie

[indigo walrus]

Outside, hands down, bar none, all day, everyday, especially on days when things are occuring outside.

[torpid blaze]

oh to have perfect vision without the need for glasses

the unc effect will always be inevitable

unless your insurance is killer

[topaz veldt]

a high end tv outside

[indigo walrus]

Not sure what "Universal Naming Convention" (UNC) has to do with this, but anyway... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)#Universal_Naming_Convention

[indigo walrus]

So far, so good. 20/15 vision. knocks on wood

[torpid blaze]

i mean uncle/aging

[indigo walrus]

Oh then say that - abbreviations are a great way to cause a nuclear power plant to burn down.

[pallid marsh]

My 65" TV has only 660 less dimming zones than Linus new 115"

[torpid blaze]

its just new slang

[hoary hatch]

My tv has 8.3 million dimming zones

[torpid blaze]

my tv is alive

Im surprised my samsung tv from when i was like a kid is still alive

and im using it

until a few days when i get a better monitor for myself

[topaz veldt]

i suspect you are still a kid

[torpid blaze]

naur i will be 18 in a few months

[rigid orchid]

I don't even know if my tv has dimming zones

[topaz veldt]

thats still a kid bro

[torpid blaze]

i have no idea whats a dimming zone

[torpid blaze]

id like to imagine when im in my middle age and you still call me young in a wheelchair

[topaz veldt]

my tv has two dimming zones - one when i close my left eye and one when i close my right eye

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-wait-nathan-fillion-gif-4809231

[topaz veldt]

I mean I guess thats cool

[torpid blaze]

whats the ideal age to not be classified as a kid then

[fervent elm]

Its an area of the tv where the backlight can turn off or down in order to get better blacks and contrast

[torpid blaze]

mr unc

[topaz veldt]

I mean you can literally be on your parents health insurance until you're 26

[pallid marsh]

Hey that's me

Ideally the age where you stop using "unc" to mean "uncle" or "old person."

Noctua apparently said the following, do anyone agree?

[topaz veldt]

Yes

[pure garnet]

considering noctua will take 8 years to shave 2c off a fan id trust their judgement on fan orientation

[pallid marsh]

Yup

[fervent elm]

Weird top fan setup

[steel stream]

yup

[rich idol]

also is it right that the intake fans should be spinning faster than the exhaust fans to prevent negative pressure within the case?

[fervent elm]

Ig if theres no top rad it makes some sense
Front top to intake
Rear to pull vrm and cpu heat out

[pallid marsh]

If it was the other way it would steal a good chunk of fresh air

[fervent elm]

True
If you have a top rad youd want that for cpu cooling
But with none, i see the benefit

[rich idol]

i'm going air cooled

[fervent elm]

Then yeah

[topaz veldt]

im going hair cooled

[rich idol]

i'm going with a cool haircut

[fervent elm]

Feels like theyd fight or recirculate some air though

[pure garnet]

i can assure you noctua knows what they’re doing

[shell void]

glaze

[rich idol]

Is it right that the intake fans should be spinning faster than the exhaust fans to prevent negative pressure inside the case? I heard this is mostly to prolong dust buildup but idk if it really matters

[pure garnet]

damn right

[fervent elm]

It depends on the setup tbh
In a setup like this youve already got 4 intake and 2 exhaust so it should be fine
Id split the bottom 2 front fans to the gpu temp and 1 front, the top, and exhaust to cpu

[shell void]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdFQL3t5rmQ

positive pressure with filtered intakes, and 1in/1out on top is the best for air cooling, but you dont need to overthink this stuff

as long as you dont do all intake up top itll be fine xd

[rich idol]

Could you elaborate?

Cool my $400 bbq grill door shipped lol

[steel stream]

what you gonna grill

[topaz veldt]

nothing yet, but I uh... my son... I... hit the bbq with a 20 lb RC at like 25+ mph

[merry stirrup]

it’s over

[steel stream]

damn

[topaz veldt]

it fucked the corner of the door up bad

[steel stream]

yeah 25mph that had a good bit of energy behind it

[fervent elm]

With that setup youre at positive pressure already
Id tie fan speed to temperature instead
With the lower 2 front fans tied to the gpu temp and the rest to cpu

[topaz veldt]

yeah - it dented it to shit and it won't close

[low sorrel]

It's so over

[frank zealot]

Grill or car door

[topaz veldt]

grill

but my grill is prob more expensive than some peoples cars 😭

[merry stirrup]

this is why i just take pictures

my profiles randomly deleting themselves has happened one too many times

[low sorrel]

I might have one of my zen timings

Somewhere

[rich idol]

Do i have to do that in BIOS or are there desktop software for that?

[frank zealot]

Either

For windows look for "fan control"

[rich idol]

I should try doing it in BIOS tbh, i need go get more comfortable with BIOS stuff

[fervent elm]

Probably better to do so
Less chance of a random update borking things

[low sorrel]

Imma just turn on xmp and pbo and figure this out later icl

[merry stirrup]

so valid

a lot of my gaming is done on jedec ram

[merry stirrup]

the entire reason i send oc photos here is just so i can come back to them i wont lie

[steel stream]

jerry have you been playing skate

[rich idol]

what about when i update the BIOS? wouldn't that reset everything?

[low sorrel]

Nope

What is it?

[steel stream]

it's skate

[pallid marsh]

Better not crash when shooting a tank with a hat kit

[rich idol]

from what i've seen i wish they would've just re-released the original Skate

[fervent elm]

Maybe but those are rare unless you need something specific

(Ie support for a next generation of cpu if youre upgrading)
Otherwise its best to leave it alone
Bios updates can bring bugs

(Like the newer asrock am5 bios updates causing cpu detonation)

[steel stream]

skate 3 is still my goat, but it's good fun

map needs to be wayyyyy bigger

[rich idol]

I mean, there's is a chance the motherboard i pick will need an update to support my CPU of choice according to PC part picker, but i'll only find that out when i actually get the motherboard, as i believe the bios version will be printed on the box

[fervent elm]

Yeah
But that'd be right on start before setting up everything anyway

[rich idol]

i mean, all i should really need to flash the vios is a USB stick with the updated bios and power, no?

but yeah, i'll just see what's printed on the box when that time comes

[fervent elm]

Yeah

[rich idol]

how is ram clearance on that bad boy

[edgy laurel]

depends on the RAM

BANNED AK620 was pretty good

[rich idol]

huh

[edgy laurel]

also @topaz veldt haven't watched yet https://youtu.be/tqndR8435cc

[rich idol]

im personally going for the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE

[edgy laurel]

as most people should

[rich idol]

and i'm planning on replacing the included fans with some noctua ones

[edgy laurel]

eh

[rich idol]

oh

[topaz veldt]

Heh

[edgy laurel]

man that LG is so blue

[topaz veldt]

It's the lighting, florescent lights 60hz

[nocturne barn]

Yo @edgy laurel I'm curious. Are you located in asia?

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel look how weird this one was

[shell void]

got that thing on cool 50 for sure

9300K cannon

[topaz veldt]

T5HO is hard to take pictures under without manual wb

And exposure honestly

[edgy laurel]

no

[topaz veldt]

He's lying guilty is in South Korea

[nocturne barn]

Ohh ok.. I just recalled over the past times you've helped me you seem knowledgable in asian markets

[edgy laurel]

oh

are you sure you have the right person

white dude from PA who hates anime

[steel stream]

foremost expert

[topaz veldt]

Lol

[wraith steeple]

[nocturne barn]

Yeah. We've interacted a bunch of times

[wraith steeple]

Got off of class not too long ago and now I'm off for work

[steel stream]

guilty I think you just know how to sort pcpartpicker

[nocturne barn]

There are 3 people I've interacted with allot in this server. You Minshel(might've changed names) and Rauko

[edgy laurel]

extreme pcpp skill

[nocturne barn]

Must be the reason then XD

[edgy laurel]

oh look what I just got @steel stream lmao

[steel stream]

man I loved this thing

what a gun

[edgy laurel]

what a gun indeed

[steel stream]

loading up the 4x shot was peak audio design

[edgy laurel]

remember Menagerie? what a time

[steel stream]

RIP D2

[edgy laurel]

there was some activity inside Menagerie that my raid team did.. can't recall what it was. Something Grandmaster level difficult. Maybe we had to do it flawless I can't recall

[steel stream]

why are they so afraid of 6 player activities nowadays

[steel stream]

yeah there was some sort of harder/contest mode

[edgy laurel]

for pre-made teams?

i don't think this had matchmaking.. but lets be honest nothing does in D2

[steel stream]

nah def not for the harder difficulty

[edgy laurel]

this era it was all about chaining banner shields to even think about surviving

with the exotic that gave super energy depending on damage you absorbed

[pure garnet]

wha

<@&750150305383186585>

[edgy laurel]

<@&750150305383186585> spam

[steel stream]

ursa furiosa I think

[edgy laurel]

too slow AGAIN

[edgy laurel]

ahh yeah that was it

[pure garnet]

newest destiny raid on epic mode requires all 6 people to be doing mechanics or it's a wipe

[steel stream]

when's the last time we got a 6 player matchmade activity like menagerie

[edgy laurel]

i watched that, it was wild

[pure garnet]

i will do it eventually™

[edgy laurel]

the last encounter was confusing as hell

[steel stream]

I'm not counting raids, I am talking more about just some random activity

[steel stream]

that shit looked cool as fuck I can not lie

[pure garnet]

the only queueable stuff in the game rn is like

[edgy laurel]

seasonal 6-person activity and.. thats about it

[pure garnet]

portal ops and pvp

[edgy laurel]

well, that was it when I played

[steel stream]

yeah I don't get the portal

[pure garnet]

the portal is easy to figure it just kinda boils down to spamming the same stuff on loop for power grind

[edgy laurel]

it really did. that final arena was crazy

so confused how the fight was split up into stages and you could have a break and rally between them

[steel stream]

I guess Dares of Eternity was an attempt at menagerie like content

[steel stream]

yeah seemed neat and to actually fit the flow of the final boss

[edgy laurel]

all I can say about destiny now is it does look fun with the wild shit you can do with Prismatic

[steel stream]

ability spam go brrrr

[edgy laurel]

the special ammo pulses look neat

as does that Finalities Auger? or am i mixing things up

something Auger

[steel stream]

yeah that's the turret exotic

you got it

[edgy laurel]

i'm saying both

[steel stream]

I really wanted that

[edgy laurel]

there are these special ammo pulses as well that look insane

[steel stream]

they seem busted with rewind rounds

sadly there is just no good content to play

[edgy laurel]
