[grizzled lily]

[snow folio]

hi guys im building my pc and im trying to post it but im getting no display

[low sorrel]

Sure

Side note I went on a 6 game? Winstreak after I sent that photo

[low sorrel]

I would try and grab someone more reputable then AOC imo

No disrespect to AOC but if I'm buying an OLED I don't want AOC

[fringe vigil]

goes harddd

[vestal granite]

spoke too soon gg

[merry stirrup]

it is nice

1440p oled people complain about

somethin abouut text or something being blurry idk

[pure garnet]

the pixels are triangles

[grizzled lily]

or should I wait for another year for price to come down, ill just get one of the sony headphones

[pure garnet]

so the text is worse then 1440p lcds which are also not great

[merry stirrup]

imo it’s fine

https://linustechtips.com/topic/42440-readme-how-to-respond-to-a-no-post-or-no-power-up-situation/

[merry stirrup]

compared to my lcd

just kinda seems like my phone didn’t focus on the oled cause it’s too bright lol

[grizzled lily]

seems fine to me

[low sorrel]

Are the pixels triangles on ultra wide OLEDs?

@pure garnet

[pure garnet]

idk i’m not the oled supreme

[merry stirrup]

yah imo looks okay

[pure garnet]

i got my phone and my steam deck only for 4 more days

gonna go home and see my 4k monitor again and cry from the image quality

[shell void]

plat 2?

[merry stirrup]

im unhappy with other things about this monitor way before the text bothers me

[pure garnet]

i don’t have the nice steam deck oled either

[merry stirrup]

L

[pure garnet]

i have the bargain bin 64gb model with an ssd upgrade installed

[merry stirrup]

im so excited to see the B850

im sure its going to look great irl

my taichi ocf looks a lot better irl than in product photos

our

[pure garnet]

sleep better work

[low sorrel]

Nah I got fucking 12rr on average

[pure garnet]

the ocf is fine but arrowlake is just being dumb as hell for me and i’m tired

[low sorrel]

RIGGED

[pure garnet]

after like 2-3 days of basic use it got unstable

[pure garnet]

reboot fixed it after

[merry stirrup]

yeah idk i havent had any problems yet on my end

nothing we both cant replicate anyways

[pure garnet]

i don’t think you sleep the pc

[merry stirrup]

my biggest issue about this platform is our boards post delay 😭

[pure garnet]

i usually do at night because it’s always worked before

[merry stirrup]

nah, just let monitors turn off after 5m as to save the oled

[pure garnet]

and then lately i’ve just had issues since

[shell void]

i left sleep gang and just use shutdown with mcr now

update: the hardware accel bugs don’t exist in 21H2

[low sorrel]

Looks like they are

[pure garnet]

something is actually broken with my tomahawk so i don’t feel cool dailying it

[low sorrel]

Idk it seemed fine when I looked at my brothers ultra wide oled

[pure garnet]

i’ll just do 6000 1:1 daily though

[topaz veldt]

at what settings?

[pure garnet]

32/30/40 8000xmp

ngu/d2d/ring

[edgy laurel]

@merry stirrup

[merry stirrup]

lookin good

i didnt know you had your setups so close

[fringe vigil]

which side u sit

[young void]

Happens

[edgy laurel]

i'm out of desk space

[merry stirrup]

yah i see that bro lol

you have no project space

[wise bear]

Awww you actually use my art 💕

[topaz veldt]

that's surprising - I have that SFF 265k mITX setup running Intel 200S with 8000 no issues

[edgy laurel]

yeah these looks SO good in person on an OLED

[merry stirrup]

sleep tends to make the pc explode in real stresses idk

[lethal topaz]

i have two setups but they are a room apart

[low sorrel]

Which one is yours

[merry stirrup]

i have many setups but really only one

[wise bear]

middle

[pure garnet]

issues go away on reboot but

[topaz veldt]

If that's the case just turn sleep off

[pure garnet]

i’ve never had a system just decay in sleep like this

[merry stirrup]

i dont sleep so its fine for me

[topaz veldt]

@merry stirrup I will say my ASRock Z890 takes like 20 - 30 secs longer to boot than my ASUS

[merry stirrup]

i have not changed from my 9k c34 config lol

[merry stirrup]

oh my boot times are fine besides the splash screen

[topaz veldt]

Thats what i mean

[low sorrel]

Peyton do you still have that one wall paper

[topaz veldt]

Total boot time is an eon compared

[merry stirrup]

the board turning itself on and finishing training does not take forever its the 15 second splash screen you cannot change

[wise bear]

huh

[low sorrel]

It was like reddish with the sun as the highlight

[wise bear]

oh yeah, somewhere

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I have a "PG Gaming" or something splash screen for like 10+ secs

[wise bear]

that was a wallpaper engine one

[low sorrel]

And you asked guilty if itnlooked good on a oled

[topaz veldt]

then it shows the windows swirl

[merry stirrup]

frrom hwbot

[pure garnet]

that splash screen of enteral waiting is so annoying

[low sorrel]

Yeah I reinstalled windows and lost it

[merry stirrup]

takes ~13 seconds after my monitor lights up to get to windows loading

[low sorrel]

And I'm not using wallpaper engine

[merry stirrup]

its annoying it should not be the defualt

[lethal topaz]

le gaming and le projects

[edgy laurel]

I've run her wallpapers before too

[wise bear]

All of my screenshots are backed up to google photos so I can content/context search them

[edgy laurel]

i feel like we've talked about this one before

[wise bear]

We did, yeah

[edgy laurel]

the search in google photos is scary good and useful

[wise bear]

dude it's so handy

[merry stirrup]

yah immich can do it all locally

[lethal topaz]

immich search is still suprisingly good but not google photos good

[merry stirrup]

one would hope that this is true lowkey

if google context search is beat out by some guys who dont get paid for their work they gotta step it up

[topaz veldt]

whoms?

[lethal topaz]

google be training billions of photo libraries

[wise bear]

mine

[edgy laurel]

wish this was available higher res

[topaz veldt]

word

[wise bear]

if I had a higher res display, I'd do it

throw it through ai

[edgy laurel]

[wise bear]

weird hang on

[merry stirrup]

that HD+ qualityh

[fringe vigil]

ill make it 4k for you

[pure garnet]

open it in the browser maybe

[wise bear]

nah there's the 4k one

[lethal topaz]

this does look quite good

[wise bear]

Thanks I didn't make that one

[edgy laurel]

muuuch better

[wise bear]

[low sorrel]

I think i need new case fans

[merry stirrup]

NOOOO

[lethal topaz]

if you are color blind then i see no issue

[merry stirrup]

i have some old SP120 elites i want to throw into my case but last i checked my lighting controller for them doesnt work anymore

[topaz veldt]

Here you go

[edgy laurel]

lol, everyone has this when going oled. its like a rite of passage

[wise bear]

I already did the 4k post lol

[low sorrel]

Honey.

[wise bear]

man that made it.. wildly grainy

[topaz veldt]

Thanks here you go

[low sorrel]

I'm sorry which one do I download

[wise bear]

the last one i posted

[low sorrel]

BRO I FORGOT TO PRESS START ON MY TORRENT

[topaz veldt]

final version

[wise bear]

Oh god

[low sorrel]

I forgot to press start on my torrent

ughhhhhh

[lethal topaz]

you have to press start?

[low sorrel]

i paused it when i turned off my vpn for a second

[grizzled lily]

also guys should get a sound card for desktop speaker or have a monitor with speakers?

[merry stirrup]

bind your vpn client to your torrent

so if your vpn turns off on accident/on purpose it will just stop

[low sorrel]

im using cloudflare warp

[lethal topaz]

or just take the api key to the vpn and integrate it with the torrent

[low sorrel]

it's free and it works

[lethal topaz]

wait you are using warp???

[wise bear]

bind your client to your vpn internet adapter

that way no traffic goes in or out unless the vpn is active

its' like openTAP or sommin'

[low sorrel]

how i do that

ill figure it out later

[topaz veldt]

I am still cracking up about the Arc Raiders clip I shared earlier lol

[wise bear]

your client's settings

[low sorrel]

sounds like a later me problem

[wise bear]

qbit?

[low sorrel]

pico

i have qbit installed

i could just move it over

[wise bear]

I know how to do it through qbit

[low sorrel]

ill figure it out later

[topaz veldt]

lol did you see this earlier #tech-chat-2 message

[low sorrel]

peyton fun fact my brother is now using this background

[topaz veldt]

Let him know it was taken from this one

[wise bear]

qbit>tools>options>advanced>4th down, network interface Look for Data Channel Offload or openTAP

[wise bear]

I have good taste what can i say

[low sorrel]

debateable

[lethal topaz]

would you be willing to share more good taste for oled

[wise bear]

Pizza belongs dipped in applesauce fuck you

[low sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-cat-is-this-bait-cat-is-this-ragebait-gif-10902073105296387701

[wise bear]

I have shown you photo evidence of me doing it

you know this is not bait

[low sorrel]

why does the fucking gif flash every 5 seconds

[lethal topaz]

what in the world

[low sorrel]

have you?

[wise bear]

standby

[low sorrel]

wheres the recipts

[wise bear]

fuck you

[vestal granite]

applesauce belongs in a bowl with cinnamon, possibly heated, and possibly with ice cream.

[low sorrel]

you mind if i send this to my italin friend as rage bait

[wise bear]

sure

[wise bear]

unsweetened, cold, an accessory to piping hot pizza

[topaz veldt]

horrible

[wise bear]

you don't burn your mouth, and sweet + savory

[topaz veldt]

thats a real Kings Quest XVIII moment

[lethal topaz]

i hate this so much

[wise bear]

did you get instantly blocked

[vestal granite]

you know another way to not burn your mouth on pizza? wait 5 seconds for it to cool down

[low sorrel]

yep

[topaz veldt]

so bambu isn't great afterall

[merry stirrup]

@low sorrel

[lethal topaz]

p1s is good but not excellent

[vestal granite]

someone explain

[wise bear]

Nah to me it's a delicacy

[low sorrel]

ill do it laterrr

[lethal topaz]

the new H2 and P2 series are actually insane

[wise bear]

don't knock it until you try it

[topaz veldt]

I am waiting for H2S to be more available

[merry stirrup]

a whole 6-7 seconds

[low sorrel]

I don't even have apple sauce

[vestal granite]

there are a lot of things i havent tried that i will still knock

[wise bear]

delamination on a part, right side of the build plate

[low sorrel]

nor pizza

[wise bear]

Oh @edgy laurel I got some of that nongshim beef broth ramen you suggested

[low sorrel]

peyton have you tried 3x buldak

[edgy laurel]

Shin Black is the good stuff

[wise bear]

I have 3 of the spicy pink buldak bowls

[topaz veldt]

everytime I see "shin" I dunno

[low sorrel]

carbonara

thats the weak one

[wise bear]

of course I've had carbonara

oh the ramen

[vestal granite]

i got some buldak brand ramen from the store a while back it was like red and black spicy but it feels like false adveritsing because it wasnt nearly as spicy as the packaging seemed to suggest

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/cotton-hill-fitty-men-i-shot-fitty-men-i-killed-fitty-men-gif-25649829

[low sorrel]

thats the 1x

try the 3x

[wise bear]

I need to do stuffed bell peppers

[vestal granite]

no i think thats the one i tried

[low sorrel]

why upgrades so expensive

[fringe vigil]

What is happening to this chat

[edgy laurel]

i knew you'd say something lol

[vestal granite]

yeah 3x is the one i tried

[fringe vigil]

Im disappointed its falling off

[vestal granite]

do they make 4x i can try

[topaz veldt]

just the word shin makes me feel like blech

[wise bear]

God I miss my mom's chili

[low sorrel]

no

3x is too much for me imo

[fringe vigil]

Oh please stop it guys

[low sorrel]

it's not like it's too spicy

it's too spicy to enjoy

[lethal topaz]

peppered onions is a garnish i have never seen but i will now be considering

[vestal granite]

it was just gross to eat i never bought it again

[wise bear]

I love onion and I love black pepper

[lethal topaz]

who doesnt?

[low sorrel]

try the weaker ones if you want taste

[vestal granite]

i normally get normal ramen and add my own spicy stuff to it

[low sorrel]

whats some good non soup ramens

[vestal granite]

i dont like the spicy ramens without flavor but that stuff was at the dollar store so i figured i would try it because it said 3x spicy and i had a clogged nose but it didnt help with that

[wise bear]

This is for all the crazy fucks

[vestal granite]

i just get knife cut noodles and add random broths to it whatever i have ingredients to make

[wise bear]

Fucking LOVE that burgy

[teal orbit]

do you guys have divine advice between these two lenovo laptops at costco

• both have 32G soldered ram, 1TBñ nvme
• both $999 after sale

1966999: slim 7i: 14", 258V, 70Wh battery
1988118: ideapad 5i: 16", 285H, 81Wh battery

rest of specs on Costco website idk exactly
It's for my mom and she probably prefers a 16" laptop, but idk if its a better deal over the lunar lake one
I am having trouble deciding

[lethal topaz]

i thought i could let it slide with a few casualties. i was sorely mistaken

[wise bear]

you cant ever do that

[low sorrel]

258v if you want battery life

[wise bear]

it will be a mess

[lethal topaz]

i mean you can skip objects in bambu handy but this had too many on plate

i think my problem is with the uneven heating of the bend tbh

[teal orbit]

I'm curious if the battery life would even be significantly different since the battery is bigger on the 285H one

[low sorrel]

i want a laptop just with a giant battery

[wise bear]

If you get those frozen unbreaded chicken chunks you can heat them up in teriyaki sauce as a quick protein add to ramen

[teal orbit]

I suppose not 2x as big

[vestal granite]

i dont like chicken big chicken hater

[dapper junco]

isnt that macbooks?

[wise bear]

oh man I love a juicy chicken titty smothered in gravy

[hoary hatch]

The thanksgiving pie is ready

[low sorrel]

no with a GIANT BATTERY

[teal orbit]

oh shoot Intel arc tells you lithography now

[vestal granite]

my entire childhood was chicken leg quarters i could go another 15 yrs without eating chicken and id be fine

[hoary hatch]

Ark? Arc on ark?

[wise bear]

I like chicken because it's so easy to use it in just about anything

[hoary hatch]

Arc software?

[teal orbit]

Ark

[wise bear]

[oak vector]

Heyo

[teal orbit]

Said cpu has arc though

[fringe vigil]

It’s thanksgiving for the USA guys?

[wise bear]

in a handful of hours

[fringe vigil]

tf

[hoary hatch]

They've shown lithography for quite a long time

[low sorrel]

i decided to rat one time in arc raiders and i got out ratted

[vestal granite]

the 27th is thanksgiving jeorge

[low sorrel]

fair enough

[oak vector]

Imma be for real, I barely know what thanksgiving is lmao

[low sorrel]

how do you get durable cloths

[wise bear]

the day white people had dinner with native americans

[teal orbit]

I probably last looked at ark when I was buying the 265k, basically on release a couple years ago

[oak vector]

I thought it was the 26th 😔

[fringe vigil]

27th is thanks giving for you, 27th is Strnager things 5 for me, we’re not the same

[hoary hatch]

It is not feeling guilty about overeating day

[wise bear]

I call it food day

[fringe vigil]

Billy you from the UK

[oak vector]

lmao
Mid show ngl

[spiral quarry]

lol same I’m on break but it honestly just me studying so no celebration

[oak vector]

Australia

[hoary hatch]

265k was released a year ago, not a couple years ago
Intel has shown lithography for a long time before that

[fringe vigil]

I love Aussie

[wise bear]

This explains SO MUCH with the fucking scooter & wagon

[fringe vigil]

im coming

[undone mulch]

[vestal granite]

[vestal granite]

[wise bear]

does your motherboard support that cpu

[undone mulch]

im thinking of buying a new one

[pure garnet]

a big problem is if you install it sideways it wont fit

[undone mulch]

i got a z87-plus

[pure garnet]

z87????

[undone mulch]

yeah

[pure garnet]

😭

[wise bear]

LMAO okay so you're gonna need a cpu, new cooler, new motherboard, and ram.

[vestal granite]

whats that 2013

[oak vector]

LOL

[wise bear]

Don't buy anything rn

[edgy laurel]

😆

[pure garnet]

that’s like haswell or ivy

ivy i think

[wise bear]

that's one before haswell

[undone mulch]

its my first pc

[wise bear]

You picked a bad time to want to upgrade

[vestal granite]

hey 2013 was a good guess

[pure garnet]

dude that pc is from when the dinosaurs roamed

[hoary hatch]

It might kill you

[edgy laurel]

hope you're ready to find out how much the RAM you'll need has gone up in price

[wise bear]

fuck you kyoko I still have my 4790k

[odd sable]

Z77 is ivy, z87 is Haswell, z97 is Haswell refresh

[hoary hatch]

Ahem

AHEM

[oak vector]

I need to find a cheap i7 8700 for my sister lols

[undone mulch]

idgaf, im getting 600-800 for xmas

[pure garnet]

[wise bear]

[topaz veldt]

I still have a Xeon 1246v3 which I think is the same

[vestal granite]

yeah thatll cover the RAM

[wise bear]

Jesus

[edgy laurel]

2/3 of that will go to just RAM

[odd sable]

I've got a 3570k

[hoary hatch]

Z97 devils canyon and broadwell

[wise bear]

[vestal granite]

am4 angle

[spiral quarry]

Trying to tell my friend to hold onto his 2700x/2060 system for a little longer, but he finalized the deal selling it to his brother in law in a week. Albeit at a higher price then I would but I ain't mingling into his in laws lol.

[wise bear]

OH EVEN BETTER get a steam deck

[undone mulch]

are u stupid? I already have one, I have a gpu, and a case, im just getting a motherboard, cpu, and ram

[hoary hatch]

Zen+ is time to die

[vestal granite]

what gpu

[topaz veldt]

I'm stupid. also SRT meh

[wise bear]

Aight fuckstick, no more help for you

[undone mulch]

3050, imma get that later on tho

[spiral quarry]

Yea bad time to upgrade but otherwise he's got a couple of weeks to get parts and build a new pc before his online school starts since he has no other system.

[undone mulch]

im getting a better one later

[topaz veldt]

I'll rent you one of my computers for $100 a week

[spiral quarry]

But the parts are coming along minus it going over the budget, that's kinda been tossed out the window.

[undone mulch]

js give me a good motherboard man, i asked for that in the beginning

is it that hard?

[pallid marsh]

ok nzxt

[topaz veldt]

I'd go with X870e Hero or x870e Apex

[undone mulch]

thanks

[edgy laurel]

It is, since most of the choice is user preference.

[undone mulch]

what about ram?

[oak vector]

LOL

[shell void]

if you have infinite budget and dont need more than 128GB of ram then the answer is Apex

[topaz veldt]

Probably 64GB 6000 CL26

[edgy laurel]

You don't want/need either of those, and will blow your budget on just the board.

[wise bear]

dude we are telling you it is not a good time to buy shit rn

[undone mulch]

ok well then i need real help

[wise bear]

wait a couple months

[edgy laurel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LnsPMC

[oak vector]

https://tenor.com/view/trolled-complete-cade-hq-returing-gif-23208812

[shell void]

it's a pretty good time to buy just about anything except ram

[vestal granite]

possibly one of the worst times historically to ever buy shit in fact

[undone mulch]

this is the most money ive had all year dude

[shell void]

cpu and gpu pricing is great rn excluding 5090

[wise bear]

so save your money and buy something better when prices go down

[edgy laurel]

as good as you're going to get while it stays in stock

[undone mulch]

the most ive ever had in my LIFE actually

[topaz veldt]

I bought all the 5090s

[wise bear]

what are you, 14

[edgy laurel]

nevermind, its not in stock now

[oak vector]

I’d have to take a loan out to get a 5090

[undone mulch]

I got 450 last year and 600-800 this year

[undone mulch]

16 about to be 17 in april

[shell void]

holy

i managed to find a 2x24GB hynix m die kit for $260 for my friend with ugly bastard heatspreaders, but in the current market ill take that as a win

[undone mulch]

dude i didnt come here to introduce myself, i came here for reliable help, is that not what this server is?

[topaz veldt]

Honestly the best deals are on pre built PCs who have not adjusted their prices yet

[edgy laurel]

you should't be buying new PC parts if you're banking on a few hundred dollars here and there from what seems like gifts. not with how much RAM costs now. Get older, get a job, then we'll talk. Not being shitty, being real.

[topaz veldt]

I'm being real shitty

[wise bear]

Buy a steam deck

[edgy laurel]

bro i just hit F5 and the listing on PCPP is gone

[shell void]

might be time to find an old workstation pc and throw a $200 5060Ti 8GB in it

[topaz veldt]

Sorry

[spiral quarry]

BestBuy had a ibuypower system on clearence a couple of days ago for under 350$ so you're paying for the ram at that point.

[shell void]

probs the best value prop atm

[oak vector]

YIKES
Ram is hella expensive here

[edgy laurel]

here?

[topaz veldt]

You don't even need ram

Run that shit on swap

[pallid marsh]

just pirate ram

[undone mulch]

i found a 4060 ti on marketplace for 350

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/where-are-you-where-you-been-under-a-rock-living-under-a-rock-verwers-gif-15417326

[topaz veldt]

X3D + swap

[spiral quarry]

sold out now but flashbang lol

[shell void]

@oak vector this is an option in your price range if your parents can buy it tomorrow morning

[low sorrel]

how to kill a bastion

[vestal granite]

FLASHBANG

[edgy laurel]

wtf

[edgy laurel]

am I missing something or is this a wild deal

[oak vector]

Wrong ping lmao

[dapper junco]

wait, is that another 10nm refresh or something? why is it running ddr4

[shell void]

it's so over

[oak vector]

It’s all over 💔

[spiral quarry]

It was a real deal, I was scrolling a subreddit someone got it

[vestal granite]

pricing mistake

[pallid marsh]

damn the ram is worth that much now

[minor heart]

hmm, even with inferior stuff yes?

[shell void]

i think it's an i5 12400F rebranded

[oak vector]

yes unfortunately

[pallid marsh]

oh the 120f i just a i5 12400f+ :/

[shell void]

interesting bundle

U9 285K + hilarious eATX board + ram + 360mm aio + a game for $850

hold on i just found an actual crazy deal

[topaz veldt]

Wait until AMD comes out with 9100X3D DDR3 combos

[oak vector]

Except with like a 0.1ghz boost increase
And no hyper threading

[shell void]

9800X3D + X870E APEX + 360mm aio + 32GB ram for $800 lol

actual big discount

[wraith steeple]

[pallid marsh]

it has hyperthreading

[spiral quarry]

hey an aio included lol

[topaz veldt]

Lol apex with 6400 CL36 wtf

[spiral quarry]

or not

[oak vector]

Oh whoops wrong line mb
Meant no e cores lmao

[shell void]

even if you remove the ram that's still a crazy discount

$700 board with $480 cpu with a free aio and ram for $800

[topaz veldt]

I agree though wtf are they doing

[oak vector]

Okay what am I on the 12400f doesn’t have e cores either

[shell void]

it's sold and shipped by newegg https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4841154

an employee mightve fucked up

[edgy laurel]

whoa

[dapper junco]

pre black friday pricing whoopsie

[pallid marsh]

the board cost 700?!

[shell void]

yah apex is funny price

[topaz veldt]

Apex came down

[young void]

Newegg gets some decent bundles sometimes

[edgy laurel]

@undone mulch there you go

[shell void]

that's terrible ram for an apex build, but even if you pretend it isnt there it's still a big discount

you could sell the ram

[edgy laurel]

Thats ~$1500 in parts alone for $825.

[shell void]

sell the ram for $200 and make it a 9800X3D with an Apex and an AIO for $600

[pure garnet]

if i didn’t already have another board on the way i’d have bought that ngl

[edgy laurel]

newegg get a surplus of Apex's they can't move or something

[pure garnet]

apex + 9800x3d has more aura than a 7800x3d on a normie board

[shell void]

that seems hard to believe

i mean i know it's an expensive board, but apex always sells

unless it's z890 or z590 lol

[topaz veldt]

Lol @edgy laurel

[edgy laurel]

lol yeah i tagged you earlier about those shenanigans

yeah that too

[hoary hatch]

also I can't wait for the sequel to the F1 movie, it would logically be called F2

Oh Ferrari through 2028

[edgy laurel]

they built a whole facility to develop and produce powertrains but not at first, will take time

So GM is serious about this

[hoary hatch]

Okay question

Why didn't they just buy Hass

[edgy laurel]

Gene isn't dead yet

[hoary hatch]

It's good to see more teams in the grid, but when I briefly paid attention it seemed like companies preferred to come in and "take" over an existing team (maybe just largely changing branding)

also how do i get power cables

[steel stream]

Also @low sorrel I can not get on Arc Raiders for a little bit, I went home for thanksgiving and only have my 3050 ti mobile laptop

[steel stream]

just loot you find in electrical areas

[low sorrel]

3050 ti mobile can run arc raiders

[steel stream]

i have no mouse

[low sorrel]

trackpad

[steel stream]

and i must scream

[edgy laurel]

everyone isn't talking about UE5 and how its somehow not garbage here.

[steel stream]

My days of trackpad gaming are long behind me

i could only do that for phantom forces roblox 10 years ago, those skills are lost

[edgy laurel]

Almost like it isn't the engine thats the problem, but the dev on the specific game and knowing how/when to use certain tools

[steel stream]

lalalala can't hear you UE5 bad lalalala

[young void]

Soooo much cleaning and cooking to doo

Likewise fams

[snow folio]

hi guys

[low sorrel]

wait i've been playing with rt on this entire time?

[snow folio]

im building my pc and the last thing i have to get is a ssd do you guys think the Crucial P310 1TB SSD, PCIe Gen4 NVMe is good

i have a i5 6600 and a 1050 ti for reference

[steel stream]

what is bro doing

[low sorrel]

frame rate still good enough

[pallid marsh]

its uses qlc nand so no

[snow folio]

elaborate im not sure what that means

[merry stirrup]

meow

[pallid marsh]

https://www.purestorage.com/knowledge/qlc-vs-tlc.html qlc low end tlc *high

[merry stirrup]

TCL roku

[snow folio]

can you reccomend a good 1tb ssd for around 70-130

[pallid marsh]

how much monies is it

[merry stirrup]

yeahhhh

[dapper junco]

ranked is so ass i played escalation only

[merry stirrup]

klevv cras c910 1 or 2tb

[snow folio]

79$

[south shuttle]

ue5 is horrendous and it’s the reason why gaming sucks 200%

it’s def not the devs just not turning off ue5 features 300%.

def shouldn’t be turned off 449%.

[snow folio]

whats the difference between this one and the first one i stated

[young void]

The chips it uses are of higher quality

[pallid marsh]

TLC nand higher end

[south shuttle]

the one you sent uses high density nand cells

and high density and storage as you might guess isn’t up most ideal

naturally causes issues that le engineers need to fix

[pallid marsh]

https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/crucial-p510

[snow folio]

i see i see

[south shuttle]

qlc isn’t some horrendous plague if you buy it

but you should expect shorter lifespan

[pallid marsh]

QLC is like kia and TLC is toyota

[brittle trellis]

I have a couple 1tb Samsung qvo drives for non-OS drives, does the job great for their price

Beats the spinning rust they replaced

[low sorrel]

how to kill that

[edgy laurel]

with a team

[pallid marsh]

with tungsten bullets

[low sorrel]

i saw 4 people sneaking on so i went behind them i shot it so it would agro on them

[south shuttle]

to all seriousness tho i like ue blueprints

[edgy laurel]

yeah you're not killing it unless you make some friends in raid

if playing solo

[south shuttle]

they’re cool until you do like prodecural generation

which i’m sadly doing

[low sorrel]

some guy is throwing like 20 wolfpacks at it

[young void]

Its like coding Legos lol

[south shuttle]

if i want like more than 5-10 chunks a second of voxel blocks i’d need to use c++

directly

[livid flame]

What other game engine would you want devs using it to use?

[slim pebble]

SN8100 best SSD

[livid flame]

I mean I can disagree but neither of us would be wrong

[slim pebble]

Trying to decide, WOLED or QD-OLED? Does it even matter?

ASUS has both models on sale

[edgy laurel]

depends on generation

WOLED will become king when the tandem panels drop

[livid flame]

I think I said the other day when it comes to this, if you have to ask, it won’t matter to you

Only the ultra’s will it matter to

[slim pebble]

Not sure which gen:

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-btb-michael-gif-13025635

need the resident expert

[livid flame]

Tbfh it says custom heatsink

I’m gonna buy a monitor with a heatsink all day over one without. Imma hope for a nice big 150mm+ block too

[slim pebble]

@shell void knows all 🙂

[merry stirrup]

square root of a floppa

[snow folio]

floppa im trying to get the ssd tonight would this be a decent one

[merry stirrup]

dawg i dunno we gave you the power of finding out

google the ssd and see if its qlc or tlc

if its tlc its probably fine

[snow folio]

oh yes i forgot about that

[merry stirrup]

teach a man how to fish

[brisk jolt]

and he forget the rod and bait

[livid flame]

It’s the cheap Samsung with TLC and dram

[slim pebble]

Three of my software engineer friends swear up and down you can have text on all day on an OLED without burn in. Just set it to sleep after a couple of minutes idle.

[merry stirrup]

sounds fire to me

[merry stirrup]

this is mostly true it seems

[livid flame]

PCIe 5.0 2x so 4.0 x4 speeds

[merry stirrup]

it swaps

[livid flame]

So it’s a good ssd

[merry stirrup]

yeah

in a 4.0 slot its 4 lanes

[snow folio]

its tlc

[merry stirrup]

yes

[livid flame]

Just buy it tbfh

[merry stirrup]

incredible, purchase it

[snow folio]

yippy i will get it tonight

[livid flame]

You don’t need 1500000000mb/s that it’s older brother has on read/write

[slim pebble]

and if the OLED does burn in after five years? Fuck it, you had an OLED for five years. Buy a new one.

[merry stirrup]

yeah basically

i kept my last monitor for idk 2 or 3 years so

[snow folio]

does ur specs not determine how much u even read and right

[livid flame]

And if it doesn’t burn in…. Winning

[merry stirrup]

write but no

[livid flame]

Nah.

[edgy laurel]

its all the same stuff. more vivid colors on the QD panel (would never know better unless you had both side by side), better black levels in varying lighting condition on WOLED panel (no purple hue in direct light). Both are glossy. XG32UCWMG has that dual mode option if you care. Neither have DP 2.1 so you'll be looking at MSI or others for that (means DSC for 4K240 if that matters). https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/asus-rog-strix-oled-xg32ucwmg-vs-asus-rog-swift-oled-pg32ucdm/100486/42065

[lethal topaz]

im creaming at how much easier pull throughs make this

[merry stirrup]

its just not important, most programs dont take advantage of it

[livid flame]

Tbh I’m normally right but I also write

[merry stirrup]

i def see a high refreshrate 4k panel in my future

[livid flame]

How far future

[merry stirrup]

whenever 4k 360 is a thing

[edgy laurel]

Wait thats the UCWG, limited to 4K165

[livid flame]

Still avoiding 4k as my main game is in a resolution of 765x503

[edgy laurel]

not UCWMG thats 4K 240

[merry stirrup]

but doesnt swap

to 330hz

[young void]

Watchaaa playin?

[teal orbit]

Time flies when you're having fun
Unfortunately for AMD users the time flows like a glacier at the south pole

[livid flame]

Osrs but in fixed mode

[slim pebble]

No DP 2.1 sounds bad

[merry stirrup]

a floppa would have to agree

[edgy laurel]

does it? 5nails doesn't have it, gets on just fine at 4K240

[young void]

Gotta be goated if you've been playing as long as i suspect, if your new thats ok to lol

[brisk jolt]

This is relatively true since basically all the OLEDs these days have some form of pixel cleaning.

[edgy laurel]

some people just have a real problem with the "concept" of using DSC but those people are dumb

[merry stirrup]

dsc is chillin

[edgy laurel]

don't be those people

[merry stirrup]

i dont even have dp 2.1 LOL

shoud i be using HDMI? isnt thatbetter?

[south shuttle]

scratch

[edgy laurel]

barely anyone does

[slim pebble]

5090 has it, I don't think compression is a terrible thing so...

[south shuttle]

oh i meant it as a joke

[lethal topaz]

assembly

[merry stirrup]

damn should i swap to an hdmi cable thats wild

[edgy laurel]

if the max resolution, refresh and bit depth can be achieved by whatever you're using, then no, it doesn't matter

[merry stirrup]

fair enough

[south shuttle]

ue5 is good, devs don’t know how to use it…

or publishers push studios for quick releases

[lethal topaz]

optimization is optional anyway

[young void]

Sames more or less

[south shuttle]

yahh who cares you can’t run a game at 30 fps on a 2 year old flagship card on medium settings

[lethal topaz]

5090 or bust

[south shuttle]

also, what is happening to ddr5 prices?

[brisk jolt]

“no 5090? blame this on the misfortune of your birth”

[young void]

When i have time I just want to make something simple but fun, sometimes you'll have an idea make it and be like thats not right

Its still hard

[topaz veldt]

My kid will sleep again someday right?

[young void]

Yes eventually but frig the bumps in the road ehh xD

[dapper junco]

ai

[topaz veldt]

He waits us out then comes to our bed immediately

[south shuttle]

is it just that

[dapper junco]

Yep

something something building servers for ai, something something no more capacity for consumer

[young void]

I feel it lol

[south shuttle]

like the more prices get ??? the less i believe it’s just ai and more that people panic to buy ddr5 before they rocket

[young void]

Oh man its late over there xD and snails got alot to do in the morning im sure hopefully he crashes out soon probs excited for all the food tomorrow bets

My daughter keeps coming out and peeking in the kitchen 😂

[south shuttle]

like why can i sell my old kits at 2x the og price

if not more

oh it started heavily affecting the chinese market as well now

kingbank just 🆙

[young void]

Im just here for the ride

[dapper junco]

I think its the scalpers in action
There was this funny period where framework kept their ddr5 price cheaper than retailers. Then they have to delist RAM from the marketplace because scalper are scalping lol https://x.com/FrameworkPuter/status/1993202080744718609

Framework (@FrameworkPuter)

The memory market is in a bad spot. We haven’t changed our memory pricing, but we did have to delist standalone memory from our Marketplace to head off scalpers and preserve inventory for people buying it with our DIY Edition laptops.

X · Nov 25, 2025, 6:16 AM

[south shuttle]

i mean, if scalpers are involved then it’s probably profitable which means people are buying

it’s the gpu crisis all over again

but one of the causations isn’t covid this time but ai

[livid flame]

Tbh anyone with an x3d cpu and ddr5 just saw their investment go up. Win win for used market.

[dapper junco]

Yep, the new crypto craze

fitting ngl

[south shuttle]

pls pop bubble pop

[livid flame]

The fact they’re talking about AI companies going bust and failing as soon as this is announced just tells you the prices won’t last

[south shuttle]

aint no way they gon profit from those overpriced kits

[young void]

I mean if they sell brb

[dapper junco]

we could read into softbank founder selling all his nvidia stock

[livid flame]

There is another angle to this but I know politics is sensitive.

[dapper junco]

but apparently he's a psychopath in trading so maybe don't?

[livid flame]

Jensen meets trump. Says he will let them trade with China for 15%. They still sell nothing to China. Then ram goes sky high. I think you see where I’m going with this.

[young void]

Ups and downs

[livid flame]

Tbh if I had 64gb for gaming only I’d sell it and just pocket the extra after getting 32gb. Crazy as most people that buy 64gb actually need it.

Only used 64gb kits I can think of most be those who realise, they “future proofed” for no reason

And crazy fuckers like snail that have a library of ram

[south shuttle]

i’m really considering selling my ram, like…

worth selling even my junky microns

[livid flame]

Yeah I’ve got one of those

My ram cost me £100 in 2023. Now it’s going for £170

[south shuttle]

sad i didn’t get a functional 2x32gb kit :c

because the one i bought arrived defective

[livid flame]

It went to £90 at its lowest

[south shuttle]

(ded) and it was really, really cheap

from legitimate retailer

[livid flame]

Oh fucking wow

It’s now £270.

Nope £290

Even bad kits are expensive af

Could sell this for £250 and get another crucial kit for £220. Madness.

[oak vector]

Ram prices

[young void]

Pies ✔️

[brisk jolt]

nice pie2

[indigo walrus]

Oh boy, what flavor!?

[livid flame]

The question is now with ddr5.. is it worth recommending people buy 16gb in budget builds?

[young void]

Lmao just the pumpkins this year, usually do apple but will have to see

[young void]

Just to wait if possible, snag a xbox series x or ps5 for like $250 and wait a bit

[oak vector]

2pir^2 😋

[brisk jolt]

might be a hot take but I’d say its a viable option for core ultra buyers with 4dimm slot mobos. not sure about 14th gen.

[livid flame]

Fuck that. I’m building again next year. Just is it with recommending for others on tight budgets

[south shuttle]

i stopped recommending pcs the priced are outrageous for ram

[young void]

Same though I like to play with new hardware

[oak vector]

I wish I had my own house so I could do the networking from scratch 😭

[livid flame]

I was planning on giving this build to my eldest. However I may now need to downgrade him from x3d to 7600 just to save cost on the next build 😭

When Fortnite and Minecraft is 99% of what he plays it’s not unreasonable to steal the x3d from the current build I guess

[south shuttle]

7400f, 7500f are also to consider

same thing/s

[livid flame]

Needs the MHz for Minecraft mods tbh

A 7600 won’t drop his performance at all from a 7800x3d

A 7400/500 will

[south shuttle]

you can just turn them into a 7600 without igpu ofc

with some tweaking

[brisk jolt]

a 7500f basically same as 7600

[south shuttle]

0.1ghz or 0.2ghz here and there don’t matter

[livid flame]

The 7400f makes a difference. 7500f practically not. It sells out often in the UK and hard to get tbh

[south shuttle]

20-25% cheaper for same cpu without igpu

[livid flame]

Will see this time next year when I’m planning the build

[south shuttle]

the 7400f boosts higher than amd specs it’s boost clock

basicly always

the different is in low-mine single digit %’s at most

200 typos yay

[grizzled lily]

2 big questions which would you go for: (https://www.costco.com/p/-/acer-predator-x27u-a1-27-qd-oled-wqhd-2560-x-1440-280hz-003ms-freesync-premium-pro-gaming-monitor/4000393092?langId=-1) OR (https://www.costco.com/p/-/msi-265-wqhd-qd-oled-240hz-amd-freesync-premium-pro-gaming-monitor/4000411993?langId=-1)

[livid flame]

Neither

I’m not clicking links

[grizzled lily]

its safe

[livid flame]

Oh I don’t doubt that

Im just not clicking links

[grizzled lily]

ok (MSI 26.5" WQHD QD-OLED 240Hz AMD FreeSync Premium Pro Gaming Monitor
Item 1976471 | Model MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2)

or (Acer Predator X27U A1 - 27" QD-OLED WQHD (2560 x 1440) - 280Hz – 0.03ms - FreeSync Premium Pro - Gaming Monitor
Item 1971347 | Model X27U A1bmiiprx)

both 379

[zenith flare]

what yall think is the reasonable upgrade from a 2070 super

im thinking 9070 xt

looking for 1440p 144hz or higher

[grizzled lily]

yea get the reaper powercool

[zenith flare]

imma get whatever is on sale tbh

[zenith flare]

251% looks beautiful

considering most stuff around it is way higher price (at least for me in canada)

[livid flame]

9070xt sounds swell

Basically you don’t wanna go lower than a 5060ti / 9060xt 16gb. However you won’t find that meaningful compared to 5070ti/9070xt so you’re bang on @zenith flare

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt did you know that snail tastes good

[zenith flare]

i dont wanna go below 16gb vram atm

[low sorrel]

Very yummy

[zenith flare]

5060 ti with 12 is iffy for me

[livid flame]

If the 5070ti is basically the same price or cheaper. Go Nvidia.

If not fly with that 9070xt

[zenith flare]

in canada rn, the 9070 xt is on sale for 800

the 5070 ti is like 1050

[livid flame]

Fuck off

[low sorrel]

800 cad

[livid flame]

That’s cheap af if that’s Canadian toy money

[edgy laurel]

5070Ti is minimum spec this year. I would need 9070xt to pay ME to give up Nvidia features.

[low sorrel]

570 usd

[livid flame]

That’s basically how much I paid for a 7800xt. £430

Snap that up

[zenith flare]

im seriously considering it

[low sorrel]

They aren't 800 anymore @zenith flare more like 850 the 800 ones went oos in like 2 secobds

[zenith flare]

never had an amd gpu before

[livid flame]

800? 850? That’s still bottom dollar for a great card

[zenith flare]

ive been biased towards nvidia but now it seems obvious to go amd

the model im looking at is in stock at 799.99

[low sorrel]

Where

[south shuttle]

5070 ti aint great tho :c

[zenith flare]

early black friday sale

[south shuttle]

it’s just not horrible generational uplift

[livid flame]

That’s like £120 cheaper than UK

[south shuttle]

unlike 5080 which is half of the 5090

[livid flame]

5070ti is better tbh. Dlss4 for non competitive games

[edgy laurel]

quite literally the best deal available. you're crazy

[zenith flare]

its a solid $250 more than 9070 xt atm

[pallid marsh]

5080 poopy

[livid flame]

I’d always buy what’s cheapest as I don’t care about upscaling

[zenith flare]

idk if price/perf is worth it

[south shuttle]

the generational uplift from 4070 ti is sadge and compared to 4080 super

[edgy laurel]

I'll gladly pay $250 for RTX HDR, RTX VSR, DLSS4 and MFG

GPU's are more than just raw raster performance

[low sorrel]

Even I would consider it and as coopa said "I'm a cheap bitch"

[edgy laurel]

You're buying an ecosystem of features and AMD's is just trash

[low sorrel]

Sidenote when rename black Friday to black month

Wait that's Feburary

Black November

[turbid locust]

see but someone who has never experienced it faced with the same proposition wouldnt be so quick to choose

I would pay $250 just for DLSS alone lol

[edgy laurel]

Sometimes you gotta learn the hard (and slow) way

erm

[low sorrel]

I would pay 150

[edgy laurel]

so anyway

[edgy laurel]

fuck

you know what, ok. i'll own that.

[turbid locust]

lol

[low sorrel]

Put it in the vault

[low sorrel]

Guilty do you have the vault indexed by name

[edgy laurel]

na, just whatever i'm feeling like naming it

[low sorrel]

What guns do you run in arc raiders gulity

[edgy laurel]

Mac

@turbid locust what guns do I run in Arc Raiders

How do you not know

[turbid locust]

Guilty is a Ferro spammer fs

[edgy laurel]

(i don't actualy play it)

[low sorrel]

[wraith steeple]

I don't play AR either

[edgy laurel]

but if the streamers I watch are anything to go off of, level 4 Venator and Renegade are all you need

[low sorrel]

I expected that.

[low sorrel]

You watch streamers? Like live?

[edgy laurel]

no, mostly just Shroud on youtube

[low sorrel]

Botta say

I don't know a single person who watches people live

[edgy laurel]

I have, but only usually if i'm stuck somewhere with nothing else to do

[turbid locust]

I'll throw on a stream in the background while im doing something

[edgy laurel]

idgaf about the chat and a live stream can't be myprimary focus, too much downtime and BS

[turbid locust]

people that spam emotes in chat for hours? yeah idk.

[edgy laurel]

but i'll gladly watch edited together videos of the good parts

I've discovered TheBurntPeanut and this motherfucker is hilarious

Tarkov but more recently AR streamer and his just so damn entertaining. I mean, he's a peanut

[vestal granite]

only streams i watch are tournament things

[slim pebble]

I don’t know what’s funnier, the stream content or the little tiny peanut outfits.

[edgy laurel]

He's a riot

the comedic timing

when something happens and he stares at the camera i lose it lol

[merry stirrup]

explosions

[merry stirrup]

you know you want to play it

[vestal elbow]

seen a few of the newer nokia's, kinda slow for what they are

[merry stirrup]

someone said tarkov and i came to life

[slim pebble]

Peanut falls off the tallest building on the map, hurling towards his inevitable death

Teammate: what the hell are you doing Peanut?

Peanut: still falling Fuckin winning!

[merry stirrup]

💀

peanuts cool and hilarious yes

if you wanna watch people with mindblowing skill people like lvndmark or sheef are pretty good

[edgy laurel]

i'm chuckling because i'm hearing him say that in my head. this fucking peanut has gotten to me lol

[edgy laurel]

but the comedy, floppa. the comedy.

[merry stirrup]

[edgy laurel]

[merry stirrup]

[edgy laurel]

labyrinth

[merry stirrup]

[vestal granite]

[merry stirrup]

no

theres no reviving so

[vestal granite]

oh tarkov not arc raider

[edgy laurel]

wait

🤣

I get this reference

assuming thats what you were doing cause if not thats weird

[vestal granite]

yes it was a reference

[edgy laurel]

well played

assuming anyone would remember

[edgy laurel]

this one https://youtu.be/cce5Ykus3Ik?si=yGMwS86z4UUODhV2

[merry stirrup]

oh havenmt seen it this wipe

knowleeeddge meme top tier reference

[vestal granite]

i have resorted to an extreme measure to see if i can narrow down this network driver problem, i have disabled IOMMU because the event viewer error was somethin about IOMMU

[low sorrel]

oh god damnit i recycled an item for a quest i just got

[fervent elm]

Lmao

[teal orbit]

I hope the event viewer error says something about CPU so you disable the cpu

[vestal granite]

my network driver has not crashed in an hour which is a new record, probably IOMMU skill issue

[vestal granite]

well if it turns out to be an IOMMU issue it tells me i should probably update bios and such

but the same fucking problem happens on multiple machines so its all the iommus all the iommus on windows devices are cooked on my network for some reason and by god golly ill find out why (ill never find out why, this is what limbo is)

[copper sparrow]

im teching my tips @teal orbit

[teal orbit]

You can have all my money please don't hurt me

[copper sparrow]

wtf

[teal orbit]

I wonder if you disable IOMMU wtf does it even do
do all your devices just use memory regions via DMA

[copper sparrow]

@mr keto

[vestal granite]

i have actually no idea but nothing has broken yet (i didnt run benchmarks or anything though so its possible one of my SSDs is performing horribly)

[teal orbit]

I mean I think it'd either work flawlessly, or stop your OS from booting entirely
I have to do more research to understand how this shit works

[vestal granite]

its working fine so far, none of the normal things that would cause my network driver to crash before have caused the problem since disabling IOMMU

but some anticheats do NOT like that IOMMU is disabled

[livid flame]

You sound like a bot

[vestal granite]

<@&750150305383186585> they ain't even link to a server they linked to a list of them lol
also previous messages they say they already own "this rack server" but now theyre saying someone suggested it and also its a bot also is the other thing

[ripe flicker]

y'all someone might trade their 3070 to my 3060ti, he's trading value is 314.70usd while for my 3060ti my trading value is 272.21usd.. how much cash should I prolly add?

[sharp phoenix]

Could Internet at some point get a "Solar Energy" equivilant where suddenly by buying the right equipment once, you never ever have to worry about the internet bill again?

[oak vector]

Well you still have to worry about replacing solar panels lmao so it’s not entirely true

I doubt that’ll ever be a thing though, there’ll probably always be a provider

[sharp phoenix]

Couldn't the "providing" part be automated in a way that drastically reduces long term cost for the companies involved? Or even routing directly to the servers in question, especially whenever all of those servers innevitably go Solar?

[karmic folio]

whaet the fuck is iommu

i mean why do you have to enable it

[vestal granite]

in an anticheat it'd be required to be enabled to prevent pcie devices from reading memory they arent supposed to read

[karmic folio]

against dma users?

[vestal granite]

yes

[karmic folio]

[livid flame]

I think that’s what they call tpm and secure boot rolled into one shite acronym

[livid flame]

It don’t work though.

[karmic folio]

oh lol

[livid flame]

DMA still going hard in faceit

[vestal granite]

its just a barrier, sometimes barriers are broken

[karmic folio]

does vanguard require iommu

[livid flame]

It’s a low broken fence you can step over

If it worked properly it also stops people dual pc streaming so lol good luck getting that rolled out to everything one day

[karmic folio]

bros writing a paragraph

[vestal granite]

theres no problem with IOMMU being enabled in 99.9999% of situations its just my shit being fucked so i have to disable it until i figure out the cause of this network issue but CS doesn't cause it to break (CS2 game traffic is mostly udp i think, & my network issues come from something to do with the IOMMU and when I have a lot of TCP traffic and i dont know how these things are related yet)

so whenever i do want to play faceit i can always restart my PC and re-enable IOMMU atleast

[karmic folio]

fuck faceit

i installed the ac and rebooted my pc and my windows was just fucked

[vestal granite]

alls i know is its been required above 3000 elo for a while now and i think they're rolling out the requirement to everybody soon

[livid flame]

It’s not working well then

[topaz veldt]

When you're up early and the air is chilly.... fire of that SFF 5090 space heater its so quaint

[fringe vigil]

Guys it’s stranger things 5 release!!!

[topaz veldt]

OMG

benchmark weather

[oak vector]

I was about to say
“Looks pretty typical for summer here”
Then I remembered that’s probably Fahrenheit not Celsius lmao

[jaunty horizon]

am thinking of getting a crappy square monitor as my third display

also because i need a display with vga out

shall i invest?

[fringe vigil]

anyone have experience with razer mouse pads

[livid flame]

Sure

They’re the same as every other mouse pad. Just easier to get in a bigger size without risking a Temu or Ali bug. Why?

[fringe vigil]

I need a new one

Was looking at corsairs m480 that looks good

[livid flame]

Honestly just go by design you like. All cloth pads are pretty much the same unless you buy a mesh one

[fringe vigil]

Artisian good but expensive

[fringe vigil]

U have which one

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil get LTT pad

[fringe vigil]

dont deliver to uk

i think

wait i think they do but VAT gonna be xepnsive and delivery charge

i really do like this one though

[livid flame]

Razer gigantus. As big as it gets for my desk.

[fringe vigil]

lol fair enough

i was looking at it but idk

[livid flame]

So as plain as they come. Just black 😂

[fringe vigil]

with green outline

[livid flame]

Uhhhh. All black. Only the underside is green

[fringe vigil]

windows 10 ugh
