[wise bear]

the fuck did you do to it

[edgy laurel]

Nooooo

[steel stream]

I moved my PC from my desk to the ground

[edgy laurel]

I think my 4090 does this about once a month

but it turns out my tv just gets set to the wrong HDMI somehow and I don't realize

[steel stream]

nah I'm on HDMI1

[turbid locust]

My C4 occasionally forgets it’s a display

[steel stream]

GPU fans spin and I get lights but nothing on the HDMI output

tried hard cycling the C4 too

[edgy laurel]

funny, I was goign to tag and blame @turbid locust somehow

[turbid locust]

Make sure your 12vhpwr didn’t come loose

Some cards won’t boot without it fully seated

[steel stream]

already reseated and checked

[turbid locust]

ah

[edgy laurel]

do you have more than one HDMI?

port, i mean. I have 2

[steel stream]

nop3

[turbid locust]

This, or the WIN CTRL SHIFT B thing fixes it for me

[edgy laurel]

also try DP

[steel stream]

yeah tried

I can hear it boot but

[shell void]

you unplugged it from the wall?

[edgy laurel]

oh you don't even have a second monitor handy do you

shit. i know something is up when my login screen comes up sideways on my second vertical monitor

[steel stream]

yeah

[shell void]

i have to unplug my C4 after every driver update, kinda excited to go back to a monitor eventually

[edgy laurel]

iGPU to at least get into windows + verify the C4 is ok?

[turbid locust]

My post splash screen always shows up on my secondary display so I never know if my C4 is being silly till I hit windows

[shell void]

yeah unplug gpu, clear cmos, plug hdmi cable into motherboard

[edgy laurel]

can check the card in device manager if you do this

[turbid locust]

Weird

[steel stream]

nothing in device manager, used iGPU

[edgy laurel]

yeah i've never had that issue. sucks

[edgy laurel]

oh, thats not good

nothing at all, i mean

[steel stream]

yeah all i saw was intel igpu

[edgy laurel]

no unknown devices down below

[steel stream]

nope

[edgy laurel]

Yeah, might as well fully remove the card, clear CMOS and try it again

what @shell void said

[steel stream]

yeah doing it now

[edgy laurel]

annoying if you had bios settings

[steel stream]

just fan speed really

[whole coral]

Lmao I can smell the wood that was chopped down by the chainsaw

[edgy laurel]

I hope you figure it out. otherwise RIP 5070Ti

[turbid locust]

Does said 5070ti have a vbios switch?

[steel stream]

it's got a gaming and slient mode yeah, let me put it into silent

[turbid locust]

[edgy laurel]

i don't think on most cards these days that actually activates a whole different VBIOS chip

just different fan profiles

but I could be wrong

I know on some older and some really high end cards it might

[steel stream]

ok yeah I see load uefi defaults on iGPU

[pure garnet]

you can brick one and not the other so it's possible

[steel stream]

what is MSI rma policy

[warped mountain]

She has arrived to finally close out this saga!

[edgy laurel]

outside of retailer return window?

[steel stream]

yeah this would have been september purchase

we chilling, silent bios boots

[steel stream]

AIO pump did not like being laid flat whoops

and now gaming works again

wack as hell man

we never should have made sand think

[edgy laurel]

when did you notice this?

mid-usage or what

[steel stream]

After I plugged in all the cables again to the rear i/o after moving the pc to below the desk

[edgy laurel]

someone might blame static

[steel stream]

stupid carpet floor

[edgy laurel]

not me

but someone might

[steel stream]

need a good scare every once in a while

makes you feel alive

[wraith steeple]

Looks like there's a SB16

[steel stream]

now i gotta reinstall drivers and set fan profiles again mamma mia

[warped mountain]

Perfect size for what I was looking for $600 all in vs $1,500 🤘

[young void]

Looks solid definetly make using that pen considerably easier

[steel stream]

oh if I lost my HDR profile imma be pissed

[warped mountain]

Yeah the Samsung magnet actually holds it fairly well. But when I was looking for cases immediately I ran into a lot of issues where customers were calling companies and they were like no we're not making one because of cost material.

Additionally their sales probably aren't amazing cuz it's not a massive upgrade from the nine or the 10 unless you only care about the screen... Considering it was launched in September and it's already on a massive sale lol.

[edgy laurel]

pretty sure DDU doesn't touch those

[warped mountain]

I do wish that they had the anti-glare coating and anti-fingerprint clothing of the s25 ultra. Butt I wasn't willing to get a 15 inch diagonal tablet that's like insanely large to get the features.

[merry stirrup]

good morning chat

[edgy laurel]

not, Nvidia specific

[steel stream]

[pure garnet]

good morning floppa

[steel stream]

hello floppster

[warped mountain]

[edgy laurel]

[merry stirrup]

ram duties?

[warped mountain]

My BFF for cleaning oils off of electronics! 😍

[steel stream]

yeah I shut it down, switched back, and it works fine now

[edgy laurel]

just something to ponder. the poor guy

[turbid locust]

they be trolling lmao

[steel stream]

I guess I just had to take it out of the PC and put it in timeout

[turbid locust]

also getting Nvidia cards to display out to a single HDMI display fucking sucks so

[pure garnet]

hdmi being 2nd class on pcs is so cool

[merry stirrup]

sup meowa

[steel stream]

yeah having a 2nd monitor would have helped a lot there

[merry stirrup]

your 12700k does at least 7000 mem

(xmp)

[steel stream]

yeah it's why I havent hooked the PC up to the G5 yet, it would be cool but it would be a huge hassle

[young void]

While good for some screens just be careful for others it can damage the protective layer ❤️ also ali express and Amazon should have green pink Grey microfiber cloth packs of 10 that work wonders in my expierence with no fluids ❤️

[devout ridge]

7000mg of thc is wild for a cpu

[turbid locust]

Every Nvidia card I’ve ever owned REFUSES to output to a single HDMI out without drivers installed.

[merry stirrup]

that’s just breakfast

[topaz veldt]

Hm

@turbid locust my main rig is HDMI to my 321URX and it does output to BIOS and such over HDMI

[steel stream]

@edgy laurel it got rid of the HDR profile :(

[edgy laurel]

broo

[turbid locust]

Idk man they just don’t cooperate with me

[edgy laurel]

Good thing it’s mad easy to make a new profile

[steel stream]

I moved my PC to under my desk and the 5070 TI shat the bed for a few minutes

[edgy laurel]

#tech-chat-2 message

[topaz veldt]

oh weird

That is odd - I have had times where I unslot the GPU and the computer acts like it has no idea what it is

[steel stream]

All I did was turn it off, unplug all the rear i/o, then replug everything back in

[turbid locust]

dw 5nail would loan you a 5090

[steel stream]

A small loan of a 5090

[topaz veldt]

Just one?

[steel stream]

maybe 2-3

[topaz veldt]

I am happy with this

[edgy laurel]

so, remind me why all this networking gear is in this shed way out in the yard again?

[topaz veldt]

Because ....

[topaz veldt]

the fire pit is right about where my wifi gets weak af

[edgy laurel]

in hindsight, dumb question

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zBbypg/corsair-rm850e-2025-850-w-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020296-na can this run a 5080 and 7800x3d good

[edgy laurel]

yes @hasty grove

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel imagine you're married... and your wife wants this beautiful big dollar patio, and you make it happen, its done... and you sit down... its May... nice 67 degree evening... fire going.... and you can't put on music

[steel stream]

Meant to be studying for an exam tomorrow and I spent the last hour troubleshooting W

[steel stream]

"Ze Bluetooth device is ready to pair"

[edgy laurel]

all these fancy wifi7 ap's and you needed a trenched fiber run, small networking box and ap all the way out at the shed to remedy this?

If the answer is no, but it was an excuse to do it anyway, i'd be ok with that.

[young void]

We both know that sheds gonna be working overtime

[topaz veldt]

I have a 5k sq ft house bro - I only have 3 APs in the whole place

[warped mountain]

It's fairly mild and never really given me an issue I use it to clean the entire device of skin oils gently, (keyboards, etc ) it does say don't use on things that aren't glass but thankfully everything that I have is glass (except my 9i Legion but I don't touch that screen 🤷)
My only issue at the cloths is you really have to like push really hard a lot of times to get stuff off and it just doesn't feel safe all the time.

[edgy laurel]

at least when the shed becomes a mini-mancave, its pre-wired

[topaz veldt]

Wifi 7 does not do range very well - big acre back yard, its so nice to not drop wifi when on the tractor, etc. or out on the patio

Its all simple shit... and its done for good now, feels good

[edgy laurel]

i know they say point to point directional radios when you can't run fiber

[warped mountain]

Maybe I've just been buying the wrong microfibers??

[edgy laurel]

but i still think they're cool

[topaz veldt]

but you'd still need power, so might as well do both

[edgy laurel]

true

[topaz veldt]

Also just paid like $50k to have the house sided - my wife would not be impressed with a radio hanging off, over the new patio space lol

[young void]

I hit the screen with a breath blow (like how one would blow on glasses) it adds alittle humidity to the screen and breaks it right up but i getcha I use glass cleaner on alot of things too, ill also get a link. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrAAOHL or for quicker shipping https://a.co/d/7xaqlb9

[edgy laurel]

i just found out one of the drummers plays for both

[topaz veldt]

"one of the drummers" is always fun

yeah those groups all swap around

[edgy laurel]

this RAM kit pricing is PAIN

that was a $99 kit 2-3 months ago

not much you can do about it though

I haven't looked much but I''ve heard that some faster kits are actually cheaper due to lower demand

and you can just set them manually

[hasty grove]

i mean from what ive seen cl36 is cheaper, but should i go with a cl36 kit? because of my x3d cpu?

to save like 30 something dollars?

[frank zealot]

Why are SSL Certs always such a goddamned headache

[topaz veldt]

certs don't bother me

[pure garnet]

the difference between a cl36 kit and a c30 kit in real world is basically nothing

[frank zealot]

I've got a SSL Cert installed on a Cloud Key and it works on the normal login page for the CK.

But it doesn't work on the wifi portal, and is throwing Authority Errors

[pure garnet]

however the cl30 kit might be hynix which would be nice if you wanted to mess with memory later on

[hasty grove]

like mess with what overclocking?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[hasty grove]

first time ive heard that, its the difference between 100 bucks cheaper ill tell u that

[pure garnet]

performance wise i meant but

yeah memory pricing is cooked atm

[hasty grove]

yea i know first time someone has said cl is not important

[pure garnet]

cl36 is usually universally micron but if all you’re doing is turning on expo and using it it’s perfectly fine

[hasty grove]

ah ok so lower cl for overclocking

[frank zealot]

it is important, but it's also not the end of the world either way

[hasty grove]

all in all, cl36 for my x3d cpu 100 bucks less is worth it?

@frank zealot

[pure garnet]

for 100 bucks? that's a no brainer

[hasty grove]

type shit

[pure garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmRAwAu9Gm4 this guy doesn't have a 5090 but you can see it's not a huge diference

[fringe vigil]

hi

[frank zealot]

for 20 bucks, get the better ram

At 100 bucks? Oof... that's a hell of a lot harder to swallow

[hasty grove]

i mean bro barely a 1fps difference

[pure garnet]

at 100 bucks over a 6000c36 i can't find any reason to justify a 6000c30 kit

[hasty grove]

type shit

thanks

[pure garnet]

also consider a 5070ti over the 5080 maybe

it's ~15% slower but $200 less

[hasty grove]

i am, i have two different parts lists

im debating

[pure garnet]

and if you get the p41 platinum make sure to update the firmware

there's a bug in the launch one that disables the cache and halves the speed of the drive when it fills up

[hasty grove]

im getting a 990 pro instead

[pure garnet]

you had both in the list so wasn't sure

[hasty grove]

yea im messing with it as we speak lol

trying to make it perfect

[pure garnet]

wow my kit has straight up doubled now

[hasty grove]

🥺

[frank zealot]

jesus fuckin' christ:
In Sept I ordered 3x 32GB Kits of T-Create DDR5 for 89 bucks a kit for work.

THEY'RE 300 FUCKING DOLLARS RIGHT NOW

[fringe vigil]

luke

990 pro i have it, its goated

[pure garnet]

fr

[frank zealot]

jesus fuck RAM prcing is COOOOOKED

[hasty grove]

yea i found one for like 139 on ebay

im so set

[fringe vigil]

139 ebay eeshh

[turbid locust]

@hoary hatch P2S is available in the US now, but no Black Friday deal. Don’t think the P2S Combo is worth an extra $200 over the P1S Combo

[steel stream]

A man of your caliber? Purchasing lower tier hardware?

[turbid locust]

please sybau

[steel stream]

Not very 5090 of you to buy a P1S

[edgy laurel]

this is a new term i've been seeing, i guess i'll google it

[steel stream]

sybau?

[edgy laurel]

yes

[frank zealot]

urbandictionary it

[gentle gale]

new?

[edgy laurel]

got it

[hasty grove]

fuck no

[edgy laurel]

it looks stupid

mine was around 160 or something

[gentle gale]

p510 is $139, pretty nice deal

[hasty grove]

fuck theres pcie gen 5 now

[steel stream]

yeah and you don't need it

[gentle gale]

it’s one of the cheapest 2tb drives atm

[steel stream]

oh lol

[hoary hatch]

Probably not

[steel stream]

yoooo Goat Simulator 3 free to play this weekend

[turbid locust]

from what I’ve seen really the only difference is a very slight quality buff and very slight speed buff. Also better screen and a couple extra software features but…

Idk man

[hoary hatch]

Fwiw the P1S screen is complete ass but you will seldom need to use it

[turbid locust]

Hmm yeah

[young void]

Warshipped?

Missed that one

[hoary hatch]

Just get the P1S combo
If you regret it what's microcenter return policy for a P2S combo (which isn't even on sale)

[young void]

@brave panther think it was you myte be mistaken

[hoary hatch]

Wait is P1S sale at microcenter or just bambu direct

[brave panther]

i tink cuz i wrote pp

[young void]

Oh lmao

[gentle gale]

with ams its $549 wow

[brave panther]

but i didnt get warship dm so it must have been discord filter

[young void]

It be like that sometimes, gets me every few days. Tbh suprised the bot hasnt kicked me

[topaz veldt]

someone made me aware the AMS v1 has no dryer

[brave panther]

just dessicant bags

[gentle gale]

last time i looked at bambu printers it was like $599-$649 for the p1s alone lol

[turbid locust]

Yeah I want the AMS 2 for the drying

[frank zealot]

do not waste your time/effort on gen5

PCIE Gen 4 SSDs are already faster than you will ever fuckin' care about

going to gen 5 will not make a difference to you (unless you're seriously an edge case)

[topaz veldt]

I want to put a 4TB SN8100 in my 265K build just to bother KoolCornhole

[frank zealot]

I support bothering him at every opportunity

5nail, fun fact:
My cert error is so weird, even Unifi Support said "Uhhh, we need to take this higher, we will have to be in touch after escalating."

[topaz veldt]

whats the issue

[frank zealot]

Network Solutions Cert for the Cloud Key (Mostly for the Captive Wifi Portal)

[topaz veldt]

just for https?

[frank zealot]

yes

[topaz veldt]

what is the actual error

lol

[frank zealot]

fuckin' warship

to make the goddamned angry boat less angry have some lowercase fuckin' text

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

[topaz veldt]

ok the CA is no good

you prob need to import the root ca cert into unifi

i bet they use a java keystore or some shit

[frank zealot]

you do have to include a .key with the .crt

(but not a jks)

[topaz veldt]

where did you do the csr

[gentle gale]

$139 isn’t bad considering cheaper gen 4 drives aren’t very good

[frank zealot]

you have to openSSL make the Key/CSR on the Cloud Key

[topaz veldt]

Ok so the private key should be there in that directory - you likely have to chain the priv key, root ca, and cert into one file

[frank zealot]

And that makes sense, but then it stops making sense when the cert works elsewhere on it

[topaz veldt]

if thats the case yeah maybe theres some internal workings issue

[frank zealot]

if I go to:
guest.mydomain.com (Cloud Key Management Login) it's a valid cert

If I go to:
guest.mydomain.com:8444/guest/s/default/ (the default location for the wifi portal) it fails as a cert

[topaz veldt]

yeah that sounds like something on the unifi

port should not matter

[frank zealot]

that's what I'm thinking too.

so I'm waiting to hear back from their support

Will a GT1030 shell+fan be slightly overkill for cooling a raspberry pi zero wh?

[odd sable]

there any TLDR?

[steel stream]

[low sorrel]

no kill like overkill

[wise bear]

would it even fit

[fallow crown]

Ehh

I'll find a way

I could 3d print a custom shell

[wise bear]

the shell isn't the issue here.

[odd sable]

well, im just mostly wondering if i have any hardware that would bother them for the same reason

i probably do, id just like to know

[fallow crown]

Lil block of aluminum

[young void]

Idk when google added a promotions tab in gmail that doesn't show in all mail but its super lameee

[wise bear]

that block of aluminum on that card is as big as the entire pcb of a raspi.

[fallow crown]

It's bigger

[pure garnet]

what are you doing that you need active cooling on a pi zero for

it's literally <1w power draw

[fallow crown]

I don't NEED it but why not? 🤷‍♂️

[wise bear]

so it's not going to fit in any capacity- what's the point?

[fallow crown]

I'll be able to make it fit

[pure garnet]

it accomplishes nothing but good luck

have fun shorting your raspi

i returned that cpu

why

[fallow crown]

I don't know what to do with my pi zero wh tbh. Anyone got ideas?

[pure garnet]

didn't actually give enough performance to justify keeping it over my 265k

[steel stream]

Based department?

[pure garnet]

like the minimum i had to spend to have my am5 setup fully working was like

$600? so i just returned the cpu

How long is a reasonable hold time before you hang up and call back? I'm at 45 on hold

[steel stream]

plex does not like the PS5

[edgy laurel]

Two parts. For games and then for video

Frankly they should have different names

For games it’s the go to for anything multiplayer with that doesn’t have native HDR support

Video is setup in a different menu then just works automatically for web based players

[shell void]

ok i knew ram was highly priced right now but i didnt know that hynix is at legitimately 3x what i paid

[edgy laurel]

Or local players if supported (I use MPC-HC with built in support for both that and VSR)

tbf im gonna tell this guy to run jedec so he's probably getting some scamsung or micron slop

Is Asus ROG STRIX B850-I GAMING ass

like where even are the VRMs

[shell void]

supposedly 10 vcore phases and 90a stages so it should be fine

[topaz veldt]

That + 9800X3D? Or keep 265K Z890i

[shell void]

i wouldnt buy any cpus at this point because we're getting new ones at ces

[topaz veldt]

true

im in that "no new tech ADHD" mode

[shell void]

i think the move would be getting a U9 290K+ to replace your main 285K and then put the old 285K in that 265K PC

[edgy laurel]

Heatsink is right there

[shell void]

then sell the 265K

youre not a cutdown model guy

[hoary hatch]

265k was $245 today briefly

Then bezos sold out

[topaz veldt]

its SFF though, so 285K is kinda too OP heatwise

[low sorrel]

I like how my 5800x + ram bundle deal i bought 2 years ago

[shell void]

so what youre saying is that youre chicken

[low sorrel]

is less then the price of the ddr4 now

[topaz veldt]

I don't know - on the flip side 8 core 9800X3D is meh for like workstationy things

I should actually see how the 265k does

i think its just 4 e cores short of the 285k

[shell void]

what cpu cooler is used in that pc?

[warped mountain]

hmm not a bad deal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F334SXSC/ but you need 3.2 gen 2X2 to get full 20 gbps speed, otherwise its 10gbps

RAM is absurd. 1.5 months difference

ram prices really piss me off

he chose the o11d mini v2 so i figured id give him the psu made for that case so that it's as easy as possible

I have an Xbox One S with halo 5 but ..... how do I say the Xbox One S is hot garbage without being mean...

[steel stream]

you can just say it's hot garbage it's ok

[odd sable]

"gen8 consoles are hot garbage"

[wise bear]

it is.

[frank zealot]

A "standard sized" Kit of RAM should NOT be fuckin' in competition with a fairly-high-end CPU for fucking pricetags.

What the actual fuck is the goddamned world?

[hoary hatch]

I bought it cause it was a $125 UHD Blu-ray player

[edgy laurel]

consoles are hot garbage

[steel stream]

Xbox's with an S in the name are terrible

[odd sable]

ehh, gen8 ones are pretty shit now

[steel stream]

other than Series X I guess

[hoary hatch]

So it was great as a cheaper than standalone UHD Blu-ray player at the time

[odd sable]

the XB1S was fine, for what it was

[steel stream]

that is valid and should be it's only usecase

[frank zealot]

same reason I got a PS3 back in the day

[wise bear]

that was fucking obnoxious

[odd sable]

spec wise, its nearly identical to an XB1, but smaller, internal PSU, and less heat

[edgy laurel]

to be fair I have on idea what the generations are. haven't paid attention to consoles since the OG Xbox

[wise bear]

WHAT NOT EVEN 4K STREAMING?

[odd sable]

gen8 is PS4/XBONE

and as far as im concerned, sw2

[hoary hatch]

Is it at least 1080p

[wise bear]

1440p

[odd sable]

(sw1 is a gen7.5 console, fight me)

[frank zealot]

I bought a PS3 back in the day because it was cheaper than buying a Blu Ray player

[hoary hatch]

1440p60?

[wise bear]

I hope so

lets find out

[hoary hatch]

I forget, is Xbox cloud gaming running on actual Xboxs in server racks?

[odd sable]

PS5/XSX is gen9

[wise bear]

lmao its forcing me to use an xbox controller

[steel stream]

Series S deserves to be in the garbage

[odd sable]

if its running an xbox specific game, it more or less has to be

[hoary hatch]

Of course I can Google but I'm too lazy to

[hoary hatch]

So like....it's is a physical Xbox or just a bunch of Xbox SoCs crammed together

[odd sable]

games written for consoles assume that specific hardware, and anything else will cause problems

[young void]

Id guess the latter

[steel stream]

gotta just be SoCs

[odd sable]

oh, its probably a special pcb for it, but as far as the software is concerned its going to be the same as a normal xbox

[hoary hatch]

Shame
It ruins the immersion

[odd sable]

they can get away with a different form factor because noise doesnt matter in a datacenter

[young void]

Odds are low but never 0

[odd sable]

it also doesnt need normal video outputs, or USB, or the screen my devkit has

[hoary hatch]

@wise bear are you testing Halo5 streaming quality for us

[odd sable]

or a disk drive, remember, the XSX has one of those

[hoary hatch]

Streaming experience*

[young void]

I mean

[wise bear]

yes

[brittle trellis]

MS has probably made some specific rackmount units

[wise bear]

BRO WHAT you have to pay $30/mo for 1440p streaming

[odd sable]

the PS3 supercomputer is because sony took an HPC CPU, put it in a console, and then sold it at a loss

[hoary hatch]

Is the basic tier 1080p?

[wise bear]

yes but thats ass

[steel stream]

Honestly if the PS6 doesn't have a disc drive I probably won't buy it

I think he can pay $20 for a month of GFN and it should be good enough for the casual bursts of game time he'll have on vacation

[odd sable]

ok, thats fair

[steel stream]

I am a sucker for cool Steel Boxes of movies I love

[odd sable]

though id prefer to just rip everything to my server

[hoary hatch]

For travel it seems rather suitable

[edgy laurel]

if you know, you know

[hoary hatch]

I don't

[steel stream]

yeah i do that for the most part

[wise bear]

oh boy hd dvd

[hoary hatch]

Ohhh

[wise bear]

the most pointless xbox 360 accessory

[hoary hatch]

Wait what
Are you telling me the 360 didn't natively play HD DVD?

[steel stream]

wait what

[hoary hatch]

I thought the game discs were HD DVD...

[steel stream]

no you're lying

that's so fucking stupid lol

[vestal granite]

I think the newer variants of the Xbox 360 didn't need it

[wise bear]

nope it was just for hd dvds

[edgy laurel]

8.5GB dual layer DVD-ROM

[hoary hatch]

👀

[wise bear]

welcome to the xbox 360!

[edgy laurel]

that HD DVD drive was $200

[pure garnet]

bro the 360 era was peak

[wise bear]

the og xbox media controller made more sense tbh

[hoary hatch]

The only games my 360 played were halo 4, some Kinect stuff, and madden

[steel stream]

Xbox Kinect was goated and I will hear nothing else

[steel stream]

KINECT PEAK PEAK PEAK

[hoary hatch]

Halo was probably multiple discs?

[steel stream]

yes

[wise bear]

we're old

[vestal granite]

kinect was bad cause people would open mic with kinect mic and it was so echoey

[pure garnet]

realizing now i call the xbox 360 peak in the way my dad called his 2600 peak

[wise bear]

GOD NO

[steel stream]

don't wrap me into this

[hoary hatch]

Kinect just dance (except maybe it was a different brand?) was a the headline featured lol

[wise bear]

this was the goddamn WORST

fucking mw3 with kinect mics I wanted to throttle them ALL

[pure garnet]

the xbox headset with only one earphone was elite

[vestal granite]

and nobody had headsets just the chat sets

[pure garnet]

that was the peak shittalking setup

[wise bear]

I had the keyboard & headset

[vestal granite]

so kinect mic was always accompanied by TV speakers

[hoary hatch]

PS3 people had headsets

[pure garnet]

oh the chatpad? i had one of those too

[vestal granite]

I had the chat pad too

[pure garnet]

nobody owned a ps3 let’s not get revisionist now

all the homies had 360s like god intended

[hoary hatch]

Hey now fuck you

[steel stream]

Kinect adventures, Star wars, and Kinect Sports was so much fun

[wise bear]

I slung a lot of shitposting with the chatpad...

[topaz veldt]

thats how i play on the road

[hoary hatch]

My entire friend group, except one guy, was PS3

[wise bear]

[warped mountain]

[vestal granite]

[steel stream]

I had a Wii, Xbox 360, and a PS4

[hoary hatch]

Oh my PS3 interface was peak software design

[pure garnet]

literally the only people on psn

[steel stream]

[wise bear]

I miss mw2 rooftops

[pure garnet]

[vestal granite]

[hoary hatch]

Yeah I literally used PSN to make my steam account

[pure garnet]

the intervention was so good

[steel stream]

crash course

[wise bear]

god I KNOW

no doritos crash course was an xbox arcade game

[pure garnet]

i was more into bo2 then mw2 but i still gotta respect it

[hoary hatch]

Crash course world history was peak

[pure garnet]

generational era of cod

[vestal granite]

I barely played MW2, I was a MW3 player

[wise bear]

crash course biology best

[steel stream]

this stuff pepe

my b it was Hank Green

[vestal granite]

MW3 and Bo2, after that it's all down hill

[steel stream]

watched so much of it in APUSH

[wise bear]

god bo2 was dope

[vestal granite]

Bo3 wall running and jetpacks and all that made me stop playing call of duty altogeher

[hoary hatch]

APUSH was at the same time as band so I never did APUSH

[whole coral]

Mmmm new patio slabs

[vestal granite]

why are they brush finished in different directions

[wise bear]

I miss when the orange box released on xbox

[steel stream]

you made not taking APUSH somehow nerdier than taking APUSH

[hoary hatch]

Hey non Americans, what do you think APUSH means

[wise bear]

I miss geometry wars
and beat hazard

[hoary hatch]

Unless we're all Americans currently chatting in here

[steel stream]

@fringe vigil get in here bud

[vestal granite]

sounds like a logic gate like XOR or AND

[steel stream]

we need the local Azerbaijan representative

[indigo walrus]

Ah yes, Haiytch DEEee Dee-Vee-Dee. Dead, just like Betamax vs. VHS.

[warped mountain]

literally the best COD mob of teh dead was WILD, and Die Rise

[wise bear]

@indigo walrus what do I add to this semi-fucked pasta salad to revive it

[whole coral]

I’m really thinking if we should redo the whole patio and do it from scratch

Redoing the whole patio could cost like $6,000+

[vestal granite]

show the pasta salad I'm a pasta salad professional

[indigo walrus]

Photo of salad please. And list what's already in it.

[whole coral]

Extending the patio could cost just $2,000

[indigo walrus]

Username checks out.

[hoary hatch]

I feel like this channel is having a half dozen different conversations right now

[slim pebble]

Speaking of ASUS, should I catch one of the Swift OLED on one of the Black Friday sales next week? They’re like $899

[vestal granite]

#tech-chat-2 message historically verifiable

[steel stream]

damn that shit looks good af I can't lie

[wise bear]

Sour cream, paprika, garlic, and a street corn salad kit without the dressing

[steel stream]

hmm

[vestal granite]

what has been added to it

[steel stream]

looks like onion i think?

[wise bear]

salad. kit.

[vestal granite]

whats in the salad kit

[wise bear]

cabbage, lettuce, corn..

[warped mountain]

been on hold with HP for 4 hours for an RMA authorization .... :/ still on hold

[vestal granite]

hmmmmmm

[wise bear]

maybe like, tuna or something?

[vestal granite]

so to recover this you need maybe diced tomatoes as a start

[wise bear]

ooh I have diced tomato

[hoary hatch]

Needs hot sauce

[wise bear]

There's not much left but I was gonna make more because the base as it is is tasty but I know it can carry more

[steel stream]

honestly I do think maybe some onion?

[vestal granite]

whats the saucyness made of like what kind of dressing stuff they got in that kit

[indigo walrus]

I mean, it already looks kinda okay. But yeah, throwing in some diced veggies / fruit might help. Tomatoes, cucumber, etc. What about throwing in some meat, like ... Tuna? 🐟

[wise bear]

I didn't use the dressing, i used sour cream

[topaz veldt]

Which one

[steel stream]

I think the sauce is just sour cream paprika and garlic

[vestal granite]

im not good at the cream based pasta salads i personally hate those on a spiritual level

[wise bear]

I was considering tuna but I just have from-the-coast tuna left and I didn't wanna waste it

[steel stream]

needs tomato cucumber onion, maybe some mayo

[wise bear]

I've got kewpie, red & white onion, and diced, fire-roasted tomatoes in a can

[warped mountain]

they close in 30 minutes ..... shocked my phone hasnt died yet!

[wise bear]

we dont care

[vestal granite]

see i think where the world started going downhill is when people said hey lets make pasta salad like we make tuna salad/potato salad/egg salad

[steel stream]

The red onion is calling to me, kewpie is good, ideally I would say fresh tomatoes but the fire roasted stuff is ok

[wise bear]

see but pasta salad is literally just grounds for experimentation

[steel stream]

pepe how do you usually make your pasta salad

[wise bear]

Ooh maybe some mustard would be good

[vestal granite]

i am so truly enthused by you asking this i am so truly enthused akn

[steel stream]

it's your pasta salad but idk if I fuck with the mustard

[wise bear]

it's mom-made mustard

so its more like a homemade whole grain mustard

[steel stream]

get a bite of pasta salad and put a little bit of mustard on it and test

[steel stream]

gotta ask the expert what's up you know

it's like going to the mechanic and then just not asking for their opinion

[vestal granite]

so what i do first of all
#1 priority i use a balsamic vinaigrette (or just balsamic vinegar + olive oil depends what i have) other acceptable options are just random italian dressings type things
#2 i use rotinis or tortellinis. tortellinis if i have a lot of money and want to spend a lot of money, rotinis if i just want pasta salad
#3 I get an assortment of vegetables including but not limited to: spinach, tomato, cucumber, olives, other ones I forget (i always forget something)
#4 I get a cheese such as a mozzarella or a mozzarella
#5 i get a meats such as salami or pepperoni but not that much of it, just little half circles and honestly its optional, most of this is optional you just need like half of it and usually i have half of it laying around my kitchen at the end of a week where i cooked stuff so it works out occasionally

[wise bear]

stealing this

I'm always eager to try new pasta salads

[steel stream]

ok yeah I fuck with this

[vestal granite]

its a "antipasto pasta salad" if you want to google recipes in the future

[wise bear]

olives also work good in pasta salads

[vestal granite]

and they do make acceptable kits for this too, as a kid my dad would get a antipasto pasta kit from the grocery store & then he'd add like mozzarella cheese and tomatoes and some other stuff to make it more complete

[steel stream]

My mom makes a bombass pasta salad with orzo, feta, spinach, tomatoes, and then olive oil and a little bit of balsamic vinegar

[wise bear]

fuck why dont I have any olives

[low sorrel]

what is a pasta salad

[vestal granite]

oh right feta is the thing i forget

[wise bear]

jerry wtf

[vestal granite]

feta is a great option especially if you accidentally put too much vinaigrette

good way to dry it up

[low sorrel]

what

[wise bear]

dude feta is good to eat by the palmful

[vestal granite]

u ever try the eastern european brined feta cheese

[wise bear]

No but I wanna

[hoary hatch]

Delicious, but not exactly healthy

[turbid locust]

@hoary hatch ordered the P2S. 🤷‍♂️. QoL upgrades seemed worth to me. And longer support.

[low sorrel]

peyton whos this woman they're annoying me

[steel stream]

hah

[vestal granite]

sirene cheese very salty

[hoary hatch]

I knew it

[wise bear]

thats dr halsey, she made the spartan program

[steel stream]

I like feta in the salad, but I can't do too much of it

[hoary hatch]

The Mac bin cannot comprehend saving money

Fwiw it's not like you'll regret getting the newer one

[turbid locust]

I drove 4 hours to save $480 on my 5090 what

[vestal granite]

yeah understandable

[hoary hatch]

Shhh

[steel stream]

like my mom has made some dishes with these giant slabs of feta and that's not ok with me

[turbid locust]

Right

[steel stream]

A man of your caliber does buy the P2S

[turbid locust]

[hoary hatch]

I spent half that on just ams2 pro kit + hardened steel gears

[wraith steeple]

How's TC2?
