[manic niche]

and, since i suppose minecraft runs on java thats why. java is generally, weird, cuz once i had no gpu drivers (somehow died) and mc died along with it. other games like FH5 or World of Tanks ran smoothly

[edgy laurel]

not yet, but i'll be playing it

[buoyant hedge]

It's just weird because the stuttering continues after the game is closed until I fully restart.

[fringe vigil]

Out tomorrow

[manic niche]

[buoyant hedge]

And it's not running in the background, task manager says GPU, CPU and RAM are all <20% used.

[manic niche]

i aint no tech expert
but like i said. java is weird

[edgy laurel]

possibly, or VRR related. have to experiment, see if anything changes.

[shell void]

good ol raptor lake seems to perform well in crimson desert

second only to 9000X3D which is what youd hope to see

[fringe vigil]

Just joking also do you stream or soemthing

[turbid locust]

I like that they didn’t even bother testing ARL

[manic niche]

no. but for example when my homies make clips thru discord it sounds aight. but when i make clips w my mic it sounds bad, like every noise irl is captured

i would haveto lookup the exact componentds/stats of my mic setuo

[edgy laurel]

whoa, thats actually really interesting

[manic niche]

&also ive watched some vids back then of some youtubers where the audio was way better.

[fringe vigil]

Set it only to your mic not other audio

[manic niche]

wha?

[turbid locust]

I mean, if you look at ARL for what it is, it’s not that interesting lol.

[manic niche]

if you mean other devices that are able to record audio, there aint none unless somehow my monitors got mics now

[devout ridge]

uh, just set two new PRs at 9th in the world, and 10th in the world on two separate maps

[turbid locust]

Update: Crimson Desert looks cool as fuck

I had never heard of it before like yesterday

[devout ridge]

literally all i know is it's an AMD sponsored game

[devout ridge]

mind you i was gonna have a nice "chill session"

[lethal topaz]

didnt know you were goated like that

[devout ridge]

I'm not globally ranked like that, but on certain maps i do pretty good

[lethal topaz]

its been like 4 months since i played bs

im probably so washed

[devout ridge]

both maps played at 125% speed with disappearing arrows on Expert difficulty

[lethal topaz]

"chill session"

you arent real

[crimson widget]

I just mentioned it in #tech-chat-1

https://tenor.com/view/minion-spring-crazy-insane-going-insane-gif-7257954943087154775

[devout ridge]

bro i've been trying to set records at 150% speed, 125% is chill

[crimson widget]

<t:1773957600:R> cant wait

but im not buying it because its 70 dollars too expensive for me

[devout ridge]

i just happened to do well enough at 125% to make up for the reduction in points

[lethal topaz]

what headset do you play on?

[devout ridge]

Valve Index

[pure garnet]

@turbid locust new update is trash

[lethal topaz]

based

[turbid locust]

in what

[lethal topaz]

i sold my index and got a q3

which is not based

[devout ridge]

I much prefer PC VR

[lethal topaz]

i still play pcvr

[pure garnet]

oh, cs

[devout ridge]

Q3 has PCVR support, but it's kinda dumb

[lethal topaz]

i use a relay server on VD its goated

[turbid locust]

Ah. Meh. Don’t even know what it’s about.

[crimson widget]

mfs already played 150 hours

[devout ridge]

not nearly as good as native display with a hardwired headset

[crimson widget]

god damn it

[pure garnet]

when you reload you lose all ammo in the mag

[turbid locust]

LOL

[lethal topaz]

you must not realize how low res the index is

[crimson widget]

how the hell did they have 150 hours in the game

[devout ridge]

I meant display latency

Matters a lot for beatsaber

[lethal topaz]

i agree

[turbid locust]

Early access, obviously

If you just watch the video they explain lol

[lethal topaz]

low key though, virtual desktop relay server on q3 is the best vr experience ive ever had

[devout ridge]

especially when you have to hit a block every 130ms, adding a few ms of additional latency ain't good

(that 9th PR was hit at 7.66 notes per second, so every 130ms)

[shell void]

i havent noticed any extra latency from using AirLink with my Quest 2

[lethal topaz]

fuck airlink worst connection ive ever used

[shell void]

u might have a crappy access point because it's worked fine for me

[crimson widget]

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-should-been-gif-23901254

[devout ridge]

you know how people call competitive gamers snobby for caring about .1ms? well that's me with VR

[shell void]

i can rock 200Mbps stable

[lethal topaz]

i dont keep an AP in my room

[devout ridge]

Specifically beatsaber, because it's such a fast paced game

[turbid locust]

Still to this day never bothered with VR

[crimson widget]

I really hope crimson desert will have mods

[devout ridge]

10ms can quite literally be the difference in hitting it and missing it, 1ms being the difference in 92% and 91%

[turbid locust]

Tried it at a friend’s house once. Don’t get it. Seems gimmicky.

[crimson widget]

it is like a gta 5 sandbox but medieval

[shell void]

it's a lot of fun but such a hassle to keep charged and updated and setup

and it's still a bulky low res headset on your face

id love to try an apple vision pro but im not paying $3500

[devout ridge]

I can only play beat saber in short bursts since it tires my arms so quickly

[pure garnet]

i returned my rift s after like 3 days because all i used it for was minecraft vr

[devout ridge]

So i just charge the controllers inbetween sessions

[lethal topaz]

you can just go to an apple store and try the vision pro lol

they let you do that

[crimson widget]

people making videos on "crimon desert update" when the game is not even out

[devout ridge]

i know what i'm doing this weekend

[crimson widget]

reminds me of hytale

[whole coral]

Lol I remember when the VisionPro came out

[crimson widget]

Is hytale even alive anymore

[lethal topaz]

check to see if you have to make an appointment still

[whole coral]

Was watching the apple livestream

Turned out to be not successful

[turbid locust]

I need to stop by the Apple Store and check out the Neo

[whole coral]

Only 400,000 units sold I think

[lethal topaz]

vision pro is extremely high quality, best passthrough and screen ive ever seen. doesnt seem like theres a lot to do on it though

[devout ridge]

the vision pro is the definition of amazing hardware, but poorly supported

[crimson widget]

damn it fell off

[lethal topaz]

btw quest 3 passthrough is good enough to walk around with

[whole coral]

The MicroOLED display is insane

[pure garnet]

i’m going to best buy tomorrow to look at the neo

[lethal topaz]

indeed

[whole coral]

Extremely high PPI

[shell void]

id love a gaming focused pc vr headset that comes close to the quality of the vision pro for <$2000

[lethal topaz]

its good

[turbid locust]

Yeah Terraria-Craft wasn’t the most revolutionary concept ever

[devout ridge]

Only passthrough i've tried was quest 2's IR passthrough, and that was during surgery

[lethal topaz]

bsb2

[devout ridge]

Valve index also technically has passthrough, but it's almost unusable

[whole coral]

Jesus Christ dude. The amount of hardware engineering in this thing

[devout ridge]

Oh yeah, it's absolutely bonkers

[lethal topaz]

and still cant put the battery in the headset

unfortunately meta is leading vr/ar with strides

[devout ridge]

I honestly don't mind that, i'd kind of rather it be in my pocket

I would like to see the option for additional packs though

[pure garnet]

i mean why would you want the battery weight on your face

[devout ridge]

if i could daisy chain 2 packs i would love it

[crimson widget]

it was one of the most hype games ive ever seen in a while tbh

[whole coral]

Yeah putting the battery in your pocket isn’t a big deal

[devout ridge]

one in each pocket, maximum playtime

[whole coral]

As long as you don’t have like loose shorts

[lethal topaz]

you should try a vision pro. i havent tried the new m5 version, but the weight of it is kind of insane. very bulky and constantly slides down your face

[devout ridge]

oh they updated it with M5?

[lethal topaz]

and still has a fuckass battery

[lethal topaz]

yeah, includes a top strap by default now too.

the demo i tried a few years ago still had a top strap but it was an additional accessory

[whole coral]

Lmao bruh

[lethal topaz]

that cant be real wtf

[devout ridge]

truly insane

[lethal topaz]

vision pro has zero screen door effect though

its actually insane

[devout ridge]

that is indeed what happens when the pixels are that small

[lethal topaz]

this is their new strap however. it does look pretty good

[cosmic gazelle]

i sure hope these start crashing in the next 7 hours because there’s no way I have cores that can do -50 in vt3 bruh

[edgy laurel]

i feel like i'm having deja vu. why are we just now being amazed at the vision pro (that no one bought)

[lethal topaz]

but the fact that this whole system still weighs one kilo is fucked

[turbid locust]

wtf is this

[lethal topaz]

if you exclude the battery, its about the same weight as the index

[turbid locust]

we automating per core CO?

[cosmic gazelle]

automatic core cycler

new feature

[edgy laurel]

i learned last night that corecycler has been cookin. it can now automate adjusting CO values (positively only) on its own after failures

[turbid locust]

again I hope we’re measuring performance

[lethal topaz]

i really hope apple switches to a plastic frame and plastic front on the vision pro. at least it would be lighter

[turbid locust]

Not erroring at -50 seems insane

Almost certainly just worse performance

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah this is the part i’m gonna need to investigate but i assume it just needs to run for 8 hours+, that’s what people say

i have it doing bbp and vt3 rn

[edgy laurel]

you can finish corecycler, be "stable", boot up a game and crash in the first 10 seconds. such is the nature of playing with undervolting

or rather, be just scrolling a web page and the system freezes

[pure garnet]

the aida fpu test showed me instability faster than anything other test

[edgy laurel]

interestingly, aida's tests are now included in core cycler

i'm telling you they added so much to it since I used it back on 5800x.

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m still experiencing crashes and offset reductions about 3 hours in. so i think it’s just a run it overnight type deal

[crimson widget]

does windows have a native benchmark?

[turbid locust]

I swear I downloaded a recent version and it’s just like it always was but I’ll check. Maybe I autopiloted to the same settings

[edgy laurel]

the config script is flippin huge now. so many options.

[cosmic gazelle]

also you could just edit the automatic ryzen test ini to do a different test. ryzen auto uses yc but im sure the more tests the better

the creator himself said he didn’t find stable values on his 5800x until he ran it for over 8 hours

[edgy laurel]

bro a few years ago I ran this shit for a whole weekend

on 5800x

but that was with BIOS trips to adjust offsets

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah if i still have cores at -50 when i get back from work in 4 hours im gonna assume something in the config needs to change

[edgy laurel]

i got so fed up that AC Valhalla was crashing on my on -30 or even -20 all core that I decided to tune per-core

at the end of it, it was indeed stable but I just gave up all caring at that point. I'll just run stock if thats what it takes.

[cosmic gazelle]

i’ve for sure had cinebench crash multiple times with my weakest core at -15 and it hasn’t thrown an error in corecycler yet

so that will be interesting to watch

[turbid locust]

I accidentally left it running on my 5600x for 6 days one time

[edgy laurel]

i'm pretty sure i had a core or two that ended up at like -8 or 9 before it would stop crashing

[cosmic gazelle]

i def have at least a couple cores that’ll do -30 but -50 is ridiculous

[turbid locust]

Im just not a fan of “lowest value it doesnt error at = best”

Ive seen chips not error at -30 but just perform better at -20

[cosmic gazelle]

my benchmark scores have been directly scaling with offset values

so ig until that stops being the case

🤷‍♂️

[turbid locust]

Hmmmm. I’m a big “put my money where my mouth is” guy so I’ll try it myself. Been wanting to do it on my 9850X3D anyway

[lethal topaz]

why did no one tell me that getting a sit stand desk would make my desk shake more

this is quite the unfortunate side effect

[turbid locust]

Well, uh, it’s because we hate you.

[cosmic gazelle]

it runs for 1 hour 32 minutes on easy mode and then people go in and put each core to run for 6 minutes and add in the actually hard yc tests (i think)

it runs 10 times by default so 6x8x10=8 hours

[lethal topaz]

i knew it all along

[cosmic gazelle]

but you can make it run forever

[lethal topaz]

what is your PFP

is it the mauler twins?

no that cannot be correct

[turbid locust]

No it’s the album art of Laugh Tracks by Knocked Loose

[lethal topaz]

never heard of

i saw the invincible pfp background and thought it could be invincible

speaking of have you watched season 4 yet

[pure garnet]

when linux

[turbid locust]

probably never atp

Ima still hate tho

[lethal topaz]

yall fuck with cable chains?

not exactly how i wanted to use it

[cosmic gazelle]

also mac i hard froze 3 times in the first hour and haven’t since so be prepared for that probably

but the script knows when the test got ended early and auto adjusts which is pretty cool

[turbid locust]

I need to do some cable management

[fringe vigil]

mfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5axTCm2cj-s&feature=youtu.be

[steel stream]

no

[turbid locust]

I’m still skeptical lol

[lethal topaz]

i made cable chain for the sit stand desk upgrade

it works mostly as a cable relief to prevent it from fucking dying when fully lowered or raised

my cable management is really bad rn tho

[steel stream]

[turbid locust]

With DLSS 5 anything is possible

[fringe vigil]

huh i thought that only works for 50 series

[cosmic gazelle]

u just gotta read documentation and make sure everything gets configured because it took me a few tries before it started running correctly lol

[turbid locust]

Yeah I’ll try it tonight

[edgy laurel]

Well shit dude good luck! That seems pretty cool. Start them on HDR train early. Warm 48 is life

[lethal topaz]

full home theatre setups on my local marketplace for like, under 500$

including reciever

[low sorrel]

What is warm 48

[steel stream]

rn the HDR section is kinda slim, the club is an Audio engineering club so leaning more into that lol

[low sorrel]

I need this

Imagine how much it would piss off @pallid marsh

[steel stream]

it's the optimal setting for LG oleds, so they're calibrated to a certain white point

[edgy laurel]

Ohh. So I linked this earlier, was a interesting article. Easy read. https://www.headphonesty.com/2026/03/blind-tests-reveal-only-one-upgrade-matters/

[lethal topaz]

i got a c3 for 600$, kind of happy with the price. will be a while before i can get a g5 for cheap

[lethal topaz]

its like ready or not now

[steel stream]

oh wait I read that post wrong, nvm that's good

I thought it was giving infinite ammo

[crimson widget]

at everyone

[crimson widget]

bad implementation

reloading should put the magazine back in the pouch

[topaz veldt]

its CS not Tarkov

[crimson widget]

pressing double R should drop the magazine for faster reload

[crimson widget]

yeah so dropping a full magazine makes more sense

since its CS not Tarkov

[topaz veldt]

Dropping a full magazine/?

[crimson widget]

yes

[topaz veldt]

Nah, its run and gun, you pull a magazine with 14 rounds left, it goes on the ground not tidy placed back in your magazine sack

[crimson widget]

right so it makes sense to you to lose all your ammo ?

[topaz veldt]

You don't lose all your ammo

[crimson widget]

you do

all the unspent ammo in your magazine you loose it

[topaz veldt]

yes'

[shell void]

that's how every fps game shouldve worked from the start

imaginary bullet stores were always a plot hole

[crimson widget]

arcade feature not a plot hole

[topaz veldt]

So you run around gunning, and put your partially magazines neatly in your purse and then you load them and all of a sudden you remember how many bullets were left in each?

[low sorrel]

i mean you could put it tidy in the magzine patch

[crimson widget]

idk what youre saying

[frank zealot]

That turns into a really good price

[topaz veldt]

it's not complicated

[crimson widget]

youre saying pressing R and losing 29 ammo is better than putting it in your vest? (because "this is cs not tarkov")

[shell void]

why are you reloading after firing one bullet?

[turbid locust]

Paying that much for a G502 in 2026 should be punishable by beheading

[shell void]

that's griefing the team because you could be pushed while reloading

[turbid locust]

Are we really debating this for a fuckin video game

[frank zealot]

Lol

[low sorrel]

he's saying that it's more realistic that you throw it on the ground instead of putting in the ammo pouch during the panic of a gunfight

[topaz veldt]

So, again, you shoot one bullet and then put it in your mythical ammo sack that doesn't exist, then later you get that magazine back and it just knows theres 29 bullets left? And which order do you put the magazines back in as your reload? The one with 1 missing bullet? The one with 8? The one with 2 bullets left?

[crimson widget]

its not

[turbid locust]

Valorant fixed this issue a year ago by just not giving you as much reserve ammo

[crimson widget]

no one throws magazines on the ground in real life

[topaz veldt]

I absolutely do

[low sorrel]

depends on the situation

[civic reef]

I am experiencing the insatiable human urge of progression and evolution in ways that I am incapable of meeting (I want to upgrade my PC but I am broke)

[low sorrel]

also it really doesn't matter it's a videa game

[civic reef]

(Someone tell my brain that a 3090 isn't something I can easily get please)

[crimson widget]

its not mystical ammo sack, its called an magazine vest, and you would assume your character doesnt have dementia to forget if he put the empty mag in the left pouch or in the right one

[frank zealot]

In speed shooting you absolutely drop empty mags

[low sorrel]

^

[crimson widget]

yes but we are not talking about empty mags

[topaz veldt]

So the magazine vest, which no one is wearing, has your partial magazines stuck in it... and what order do you go through the remaining, partially fired magazines?

[brave panther]

Upgrade your living situation (move to another country)

[topaz veldt]

Bro has literally never fired a gun

[civic reef]

Can't be done

[crimson widget]

what do you mean no one is wearing??? everyone is wearing them

[fervent chasm]

Rub the magic genie lamp and wish him to do it all for you

[low sorrel]

to be fair sometimes you don't drop the mag

[civic reef]

What's the topic

Irl or ingame mag logic

[low sorrel]

somehow this

[turbid locust]

not video games

[crimson widget]

I told him that in CS2 the character after shooting and doing partial reload should put the magazine back on his character, he is saying that the character should just drop it on the ground

[topaz veldt]

yes

[brave panther]

I don't drop mags or casings as there are none to be dropped on my gun

[topaz veldt]

because when you're being shot at in a gunfight you're not tucking and folidng your magazines in for bed

[turbid locust]

ITS A VIDEO GAME

[crimson widget]

who is doing a partial reload while getting shot at????

[brave panther]

Fake

[civic reef]

New update oh wow

[civic reef]

Revolver?

[topaz veldt]

Anyone who has had a misfeed....

[civic reef]

Depends on how full it is

[crimson widget]

currently it drops any mag no matter the ammo count

[civic reef]

20 go on the rig
<20 go on the ground or inside a dump pouch

[crimson widget]

so if you shoot once and reload you lose every round

[civic reef]

Oh

[topaz veldt]

Good, yes

[low sorrel]

why are you reloading after shooting once

[devout ridge]

Snail, any chance you got a bunch of M.2 lying around that you don't want?

[topaz veldt]

If you put a $20 bill in a soda machine it doesn't give you $18.25 back

[topaz veldt]

Just Samsung 980 Pro, 990 Pro, and SK P41s

[devout ridge]

it does if you buy 1.75 in soda

[brave panther]

Boom stick

[topaz veldt]

Vending machines don't do cash return

They're not ATMs

[devout ridge]

Most vending machines i've ever interacted with have

[topaz veldt]

It'll give you coins

but its why they reject like $10s and 20s

[civic reef]

It's less so a reload and moreso temporarily removing that magazine to make sure the weapon doesn't lock and fire everything in the magazine

[crimson widget]

ok then if you have 15/30 what do you do, do you push with 15/30 or do you reload and push with 30/30 but then you lose 15 bullets

[civic reef]

Oh

[devout ridge]

Got any 512's or 1tbs for a reasonable price?

[civic reef]

Depends on the situation

[topaz veldt]

They're all 2TBs unfortunately

[civic reef]

Am I pushing site where there's multiple enemies or one guy

[crimson widget]

situation is you dont know where enemy is

[devout ridge]

Ballpark price?

[low sorrel]

and that seems too complicated logic for a game like CS

[topaz veldt]

I have no idea I have not looked at the resale market ont hose

[civic reef]

Is it one, or more

[topaz veldt]

@crimson widget have you ever fired a gun? Have you ever seen a 3-gun competition?

[devout ridge]

what holds the 3rd gun

[shell void]

im a deadeye

[crimson widget]

yes I did

[topaz veldt]

Did you partially fire your magazine and remove it

[crimson widget]

yes

you have to understand in CS2 you are not under fire 24/7

[topaz veldt]

Do you know what you call someone with partially fired, unknown bullet remaining magainzes in a gunfight?

[civic reef]

What

[devout ridge]

3 guns, two hands, what holds the third gun

[crimson widget]

most of the time in cs2 when doing partial reload its because youre in safe position

you CANNOT do partial reload anymore

[civic reef]

Your mind

[crimson widget]

you're forced to waste your ammo if you want to reload

[topaz veldt]

how many bullets are in each magazine?

[crimson widget]

if I reloaded them myself I would be able to tell you

[topaz veldt]

They're partially fired

How many?

[crimson widget]

if I shot them I would be able to tell you

[topaz veldt]

No you wouldn't

[low sorrel]

buy a magainze with a window in it easy

[turbid locust]

5nail I can’t tell if it’s ragebait this time

[crimson widget]

I dont have dementia

[topaz veldt]

Is it?

[crimson widget]

you maybe do when you shoot guns

[low sorrel]

easier

[civic reef]

I doubt you will in a combat situation

[topaz veldt]

how many?

[crimson widget]

when doing partial reload you are not under fire

[low sorrel]

atleast 1

[devout ridge]

at least 1

FUCK

[topaz veldt]

so you will put a 1 rd magazine back in a gun?

[next ginkgo]

2 for both

[civic reef]

You're not shooting in a safe environment

Tfym

[topaz veldt]

Which magazine would you rather go into a fight with?

[civic reef]

Sub 5 on the first mag

[crimson widget]

so you just run around with your gun until you fully run out of ammo?

[civic reef]

I mean right side mag

[topaz veldt]

Why

The left one is a 15 round and more full but you don't know that

[next ginkgo]

witness hole looked black

[devout ridge]

The fact you don't know it is the issue

[next ginkgo]

probably diff irl

[topaz veldt]

CORRECT

[wraith steeple]

Alrighty! All of the five fret GH and RB songs have been downloaded on Clone Hero

[crimson widget]

you have 3 magazines on you...........

[low sorrel]

just buy these mags

[crimson widget]

you dont need to always look at the magazine to see how much ammo it has...

[devout ridge]

I'd rather definitely have at least 12 rounds than maybe have 15

[topaz veldt]

Never buy magpul magazines ROFL

[crimson widget]

its only 3 magazine...... you would remember

[topaz veldt]

Excuse me/

[crimson widget]

and you can tell by weight also

[topaz veldt]

lol tell by weight

[civic reef]

I don't see an indicator on the left mag
How do I know

[topaz veldt]

Alright guys, the 14 year old figured out gunfights

[topaz veldt]

Its on the other side but you're in a shootout and cant see it

So instead of guessing

[devout ridge]

me telling the dude shooting at me to pause so i can play scale on my magazines to see which one to laod

[topaz veldt]

you drop it on the ground and only carry full mags

[civic reef]

He's John Operator
He counts how many rounds he's shot and memorises them
He also can guess mag fullness by weight

[pallid marsh]

count your shots

[topaz veldt]

count your shots lol

[civic reef]

In that case I'd take the right mag

[next ginkgo]

oh my days

[crimson widget]

everyone is stupid I guess they shoot until they hear click on their gun

[topaz veldt]

have you ever seen police body cam footage?

They fire 5 rounds, 7 rounds, who knows - they mag swap

[crimson widget]

they cant memorize out of 3 magazines which is half empty, nearly empty and which is full

[low sorrel]

just count your fully automatic rifle

[topaz veldt]

it goes on the ground beacuse you cant keep track of mags

[devout ridge]

like 90% of the time i see them mag dump till no more rounds, then switch

[crimson widget]

3 magazines is too much

[pallid marsh]

count your mg42

[next ginkgo]

if you've ever shot a gun before you already know that you're forgetting a bunch of things because of the adrenaline, you're not counting your shots LMAO

[topaz veldt]

Its just basic gun principles

[low sorrel]

to be fair in cs you have a magical ammo count

[crimson widget]

you dont

[civic reef]

You're all misunderstanding me
I AM not saying this
HE is

[next ginkgo]

that's why even things such as putting on your safety whenever you're done shooting has to be a trained habit

[topaz veldt]

you do

[crimson widget]

you have 3 magazines now, you press R you lose one magazine

[low sorrel]

yes you do

[topaz veldt]

LOL

[civic reef]

The sarcasm should've been obvious by me saying John Operator

Why's everyone misunderstanding me today 💔

[low sorrel]

literally a magical ammo count

[topaz veldt]

so you don't have a counter but you posted a counter

[crimson widget]

what counter are you talking about??

[low sorrel]

the big ass 30

[topaz veldt]

Is this guy sniffing glue or is it me?

[crimson widget]

im telling you now you have only a set amount of magazines

[pallid marsh]

just wear ar glasses and have it count your shots

[next ginkgo]

what, you said that you keep half used mags in order to "not waste ammo"?

[civic reef]

Was this and the one below your message a response to me
I am confused

[devout ridge]

The former is true, unsure as to the latter

[civic reef]

I didn't???

[crimson widget]

I was refeering to the reserve ammo

now you do not have a set amount of ammo you just have the number of magazines

[civic reef]

I said this

And this is in a calm environment, not combat

[topaz veldt]

omg why is this complicated

[civic reef]

In reality I wouldn't know what has 20, what has 1, or what's empty because I am being shot at by an Israeli Tar-21

[next ginkgo]

...a calm gunshot?

[topaz veldt]

magazine have bullets, you shoot some. you remove magazine. it go on ground. cant count in gun fight. have 2 mags left. use 2 mags.

[crimson widget]

doing it like tarkov = very complicated
because its cs2 my character turned dumb

[topaz veldt]

Maybe you just need to play more intelligently

[devout ridge]

yes, because when you reload regardless of how many rounds you have left in the magazine, the magazine is now on the floor

[topaz veldt]

or use a muzzle loader so you know how many bullets you have

[civic reef]

Jesus Christ are you misunderstanding on purpose

[next ginkgo]

tracer rounds?

[crimson widget]

yes my character lost all intellect cant put magazine in pouch

[low sorrel]

tarkov isn't realistic at all

[next ginkgo]

last 2 or 3 bullets be tracer

[devout ridge]

and then do what with said magazine in the pouch

[crimson widget]

this is not the debate it doesnt matter

[topaz veldt]

have you ever seen a video of anyone in combat put a partially loaded magazine in their vest?

[crimson widget]

use it to reload

[devout ridge]

you wanna sit criss cross applesauce and start marrying the magazines?

[crimson widget]

can I post iraq war videos here

[topaz veldt]

Sure

Find me a video of a soldier breaching a building and shooting 4 rounds and putting the magazine BACK IN THEIR FUCKING VEST lol

[pure garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/on-fire-pizza-gif-6074641

[crimson widget]

changing goalposts

now you're saying only 4 rounds

[devout ridge]

lol cause the amount of rounds doesn't matter

[pallid marsh]

the real solution is to use the American 180 with 165-275 drum

[next ginkgo]

okay well have you ever seen any partially fired mags be placed back into the vest?

[crimson widget]

also often or not even empty magazines soliders do not throw the magazines

[devout ridge]

if i shoot 4 out of 30 rounds, or 20 out of 30 rounds, i'd still rather have 30 rounds in my gun

[topaz veldt]

lol dude... just admit this is moronic and no one preserving their own life would put anything but a full magazine back on them

[devout ridge]

If the enemy combatant is no longer a threat, maybe, if they're still in a gunfight, i doubt they care enough to put it back in a dedicated pouch

[next ginkgo]

it's videogame logic though.

[crimson widget]

changing goalposts again

[low sorrel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/1rulg1z/video_tarkov_expectations_vs_reality/

[topaz veldt]

oh really? https://youtube.com/shorts/FsbHo9OvNa4?si=fmoRaq6dAO3nfUUP

[next ginkgo]

A lot of games are "reloading is wasting time so if you got 5 bullets left that's better than reloading"

[civic reef]

I am saying that the ">20 in rig, <20 gone" that I said earlier is only applicable if you're in a calm environment like a range, or if you know how many rounds left your mag has in one way or another.

If I am in active combat, I am not going to know how many rounds I shot unless it's so little that it's like 2 rounds

In that case, it COULD go into a dump pouch, but NOT in the rig

Otherwise, I will LITTER and pollute the environment with magazines

[devout ridge]

what are you talking about, the point has been that you wouldn't put a not-full magazine on your person

If you put in a fresh magazine expecting 30 rounds, but actually it only has 20, that could literally get you killed

[crimson widget]

wow nice video

[topaz veldt]

https://youtube.com/shorts/jhV5PNMQ8as?si=b03lNGAeD8FYzo5I

better let my marine friends know they should put their partial mags back in their purse

[civic reef]

Oh that's all the argument is about?

Bruh

[devout ridge]

the magazine having 20 being one that you had discarded earlier in the fight, and for some unknown reason put back on your person in this hypothetical

[civic reef]

Why the fuck would you keep a less than full mag on your ready person

[pallid marsh]

hey thats illegal in Washington, Virginia ,Vermont, Rhode, Island , New York, New Jersey ,Massachusetts ,Maryland Hawaii ,Illinois District of Columbia, Delaware, Connecticut, Colorado, and California

[topaz veldt]

Soldiers don't shoot AK47s lol

[civic reef]

If you throw it into a dump pouch sure

[next ginkgo]

...you were worried about the environment??? that was your argument??

[crimson widget]

???

[devout ridge]

the 30 round magazines?

[civic reef]

How the FUCK did you get THAT

[pallid marsh]

some even 10 or more is illegal

[low sorrel]

how did this all conspire from me posting the new CS update

[civic reef]

Were you allowed to graduate because of No Child Left Behind

[civic reef]

Or on accident

[low sorrel]

he's fucking with you

[civic reef]

That last line is supposed to be a JOKE hinting that I am throwing the magazine

[civic reef]

Oh

[next ginkgo]

kek

[devout ridge]

Dump pouches aren't unheard of, albeit rather uncommon

[civic reef]

I'd use one

[next ginkgo]

pretty sure everyone was just arguing against Ark

[civic reef]

Where I am, and how combat would be if not urban, I'd have to conserve ammo

[low sorrel]

i still think the cs update is stupid

[next ginkgo]

bruh

[low sorrel]

i don't care it's more realistic

[devout ridge]

in a combat zone, the government is extremely unconcerned about ammo conservation, you know how much shit we left in Iraq when we pulled out?

[low sorrel]

it's fucking cs

[next ginkgo]

gotta separate themselves from valorant somehow

[devout ridge]

Now back home, they'll have you track every round, that's when you'd maybe see a dump pouch

[civic reef]

I am talking about personal application

[devout ridge]

It's uncommon, but not unheard of

[civic reef]

Fair

[devout ridge]

9 times out of 10, it just isn't worth the effort

Those 1 out of 10 soldiers exist, but they aren't the norm

[civic reef]

Oh my message got warshipped

I'll rephrase it in a better way

[pallid marsh]

@topaz veldt can you buy a me a american 180?

[civic reef]

I am talking personal application in my own region

Where I am fighting, I'll have no HQ to report back to

What ammo I get is all I have

[topaz veldt]

those are called communist states

[civic reef]

A conventional army? Sure, ammo for days

[civic reef]

Personally I'd run one either off the backpack MOLLE, or on my right side (right hand is moving magazines so it'd be faster)

[pallid marsh]

who the fuck makes 17 round mags for rifles

[topaz veldt]

Dude should google "dump pouch" lol

[topaz veldt]

Handguns

[edgy laurel]

kinda wild watching this. @topaz veldt you need. https://youtu.be/6PgDzu4ULDA

[devout ridge]

probably to make it clear that 16 round mag is kosher, but 18 no bueno

[topaz veldt]

ugh stop

[low sorrel]

Some Glocks have 17 round mags

[topaz veldt]

sig

Sig full size std mag is 17 rounds in 9mm

[civic reef]

These, lol

[topaz veldt]

yup

[civic reef]

They use MOLLE, which most standard issue packs should have

Belts aswell

[topaz veldt]

dump pouch goes back to camp to be reloaded, you don't put partial mags back in your gun

[edgy laurel]

TIL Apple MetalFX upscaling is "powered by AMD FSR".

[civic reef]

When'd I ever say they'll go back in my gun

[topaz veldt]

"hey sorry $Dudes_Mom I put a 5 rd magazine in my gun and I meant to use a 18 round magainze but your son was shot because I ran out of ammo sry - hoorah"

[pallid marsh]

or just go by vibes and weight during a gun fight

[civic reef]

Those used magazines will be emptied, and whatever full mags the ammo makes will go into the rig

[topaz veldt]

yup

[civic reef]

Spare ammo goes in the backpack

Spare as in not a full mag

[low sorrel]

I think this is full: *pew pew* *click click click*

[civic reef]

Or, if there's enough, a backpack mag incase I am out of everything else

[topaz veldt]

"all guns are belt fed"

[civic reef]

No you don't get it bro

[next ginkgo]

then that's not spare that's unused

[low sorrel]

I want a belt fed m4 now

[civic reef]

I have hyper senses and can memorise how many rounds I've shot in each mag whilst being shot at

(/s)

[civic reef]

Oh oops
Bad wording on my part

[topaz veldt]

"This mag didn't lock the slide back.... let me keep this... " 3 mins later "oh I got that mag with rounds left...." fires one round, dead

[civic reef]

You should've weighed it

[low sorrel]

Portable scale on the kit

[pallid marsh]

https://youtu.be/1lI7NHz3i4s?t=145 this guys used a part of a old rpg bag as a dump pouch very high quailty

[civic reef]

That 2KG going to a scale is MUCH more worth it rather than medical supplies or munitions!

[civic reef]

I mean, if it works

[low sorrel]

2kg worth of mags: nah 2kg to a scale to weight the mags

[civic reef]

Whilst I am at it I'll get a foldable LED sign weighing 10KG asking the enemy to wait whilst I weigh my mags

Battery is 10KG

[low sorrel]

Now I'm just imagining a soldier weighing their magazines mid gun fight

[civic reef]

"Off by 20 grams.. This is usable.

... BOB! 28 round, your way!!!"

[pallid marsh]

tis a thing just not with a scale

[civic reef]

Squads are now 10 person, because they have a dedicated mag weigher

Oh btw, onto an actual tech topic

What're we thinking of this build?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6p9Z8Z

No part is outside 1-2 months of my salary, perfect for proper saving

[next ginkgo]

locking open or "you got 0 shots left" yeah no crap sherlock.

[low sorrel]

I wouldn't buy a 2080ti

[next ginkgo]

Translucent mags and witness holes i guess but you wouldn't take your attention off the field just to check your gun ammo

when it's safer and faster to just swap

[pure garnet]

is there a reason you went x570

feel like you could get a b450 board or b550 board for cheap

[civic reef]

It's good enough for me
I can check production date for bad SK_Hynix chips, and DLSS 4.0 will help with anything it won't achieve natively

[next ginkgo]

weight checks is funny because my guess is if you smacked a mag hard enough i guess you can estimate how many rounds left

[pallid marsh]

https://youtu.be/TWBHsQGAhkQ?t=816 the brits are taught to count rounds and he talks about mag weight and feel 😛

[civic reef]

Three cheapest boards:
X570 Phantom Gaming 4 ($112)
B450 DS3H ($80)
A520M-HVS ($75)

Nothing in-between

[pure garnet]

yeah why spend $40

[pallid marsh]

no b550 for cheaper pcie gen 4 support?

[pure garnet]

my 5070ti has been locked to 3.0 half the day from my board bugging with 0 fps loss

[next ginkgo]

3.0 is fine for GPU if it's an X16

your SSD will suffer

[civic reef]

The extra NVMe slots, PCIe 4.0, I/O, VRM Heatsink, and I/O

[pure garnet]

i feel like none of those are really worth $40

[next ginkgo]

bruh

[shell void]

some day youll have a computer that just works

[civic reef]

For me they are

[next ginkgo]

it's 40 bucks that's like, 4 bobas

[shell void]

maybe when you run nova lake with 8000mt/s jedec ram

[pure garnet]

not over there

[civic reef]

I am betting two extra NVMe slots

And I can get much higher end AM4 CPUs + OC potential without worrying

[pure garnet]

i just manually set it to 5.0 and it's been fine since, i think disabling aspm just broke the gen selector

[civic reef]

And using 5.0x8 cards / 4.0x8 won't be detrimental

[shell void]

why u disabling aspm goofball?

[pure garnet]

because that fixed the sleep issue i was having

[edgy laurel]

@devout ridge its going to be fire (pun intended)

[pure garnet]

everytime i rebuild the pc it works good for 3 days then acts up again

so this time i just disabled aspm and it stopped acting up

then earlier today it locked to 3.0x16 at random so i forced 5.0x16 and it's been chillin

[civic reef]

Also don't forget
Both the two other boards look ugly af too 💔

Plus meh I/O

[pure garnet]

it's going in a gamdias

[civic reef]

AND no Debug LEDs

[civic reef]

The case looks fine

[pure garnet]

i think you're presuming a bit much here

most kits for 3600 were cl18 or cl16 if they were nice

[civic reef]

SKU says C4

That's all the info I have lol

[civic reef]

Btw, anything wrong with the build?

For me it looks pretty good, just needs an M.2 and it'd be good

2080 Ti isn't the newest yes, but it has enough compute & VRAM for me

DLSS 4.0/.5 can do the rest, assuming that transformer won't be too harsh on the CNN card

3500X for $40?
Tbh I'd look at a 3600

Wait, first off

[topaz veldt]

Guys... tomorrow the landscape company comes out to mark out the patio we're having done.... and I have to write a check 😬

[civic reef]

What're you planning to do with the second PC

The 3600 is a bit better, has Hyperthreading

If they're both 40 then go for it

Oh wait
$40 vs €40?

[vestal granite]

goated change

honestly if you asked me a week ago what happens to my ammo when i reload i wouldve guessed that already happens

[whole coral]

Nice

[vestal granite]

i think the biggest effect will be m4a1 users and pistol rounds, P2000 is probably really useful now and m4a1 to spam smokes no longer exists

[low sorrel]

Yeah but the p2k doesn't sound as good as the usp

[vestal granite]

also snipers are hit really hard by this

awpers would usually maybe reload after using 2 or 3 shots to be ready for multiple people to push them but now they cant do that

[civic reef]

Uh oh

[topaz veldt]

yeah it sounds so fun and exciting on paper, but now the shit is going down

utility companies all came out and marked out shit

[civic reef]

(To anyone who knows not just Martin)

Where on GPU-Z can I see the date code

[civic reef]

That's going to hurt alot for your wallet I assume

[indigo walrus]

Pretty sure GPU-Z doesn't have a way to display the manufacturing date of a GPU, or at least, I've never seen it on any of my systems. Usually you need to put the Serial Number into the manufacturer's website to get this info.

[topaz veldt]

yeah its bad

[civic reef]

Put the serial number in the manufacturer's website.. First I am hearing of this

I hope ZoTac has that feature

[indigo walrus]

Depends on the manufacturer though. Some let you register the GPU via Serial but tell you nothing about the card.

[topaz veldt]

@civic reef look at this insanity

[civic reef]

Checking with ZoTac

[civic reef]

Can't find anything on the ZoTac site unfortunately

[civic reef]

I genuinely don't get almost every part of this

[topaz veldt]

its just.... hardscaping patio + plants... i am doing outdoor speakers as well, its going to be insane

[civic reef]

Outdoor speakers, oh my days

[topaz veldt]

this style

[pearl venture]

a sound enginees reason to touch grass :D

count me in

[devout ridge]

Oh it absolutely will be

I can't wait

[civic reef]

-Okay so my only way of knowing anything useful for the VRAM is GPU-Z telling me the manufacturer

Hopefully it's SK_Hynix or Samsung rather than Micron

[digital plume]

why not micron

[turbid locust]

@edgy laurel Turns out I had a July 2024 build of core cycler that Ive been dragging between installs all this time lol

I installed it. Tried different versions of both .NET 8 and Corecycler and shit just doesn’t work

it's installed as it will ever be

absolutely nothing to do with the barebones windows install that never gives anyone a problem doing normal tasks, couldn't be. (i'm preparing to duck, gonna have to be fast)

[brisk jolt]

yeah yk what im restarting my test entirely bcs I set PBO to +200

imma be happy with the 5.7 max boost

[turbid locust]

I mean ive had this happen before where something needs some weird runtime installed but usually it like actually works after I install it

[brisk jolt]

@turbid locust Does your 9850x3d properly do +200 stock? Like up to 5.8 type shit

[edgy laurel]

just to make sure I wasn't being dumb.. but no it seems to work

[brisk jolt]

I wanna know if you still got hit with a macbin on that part

[turbid locust]

I only have +150 on

[brisk jolt]

Whats the max you see like ever?

[turbid locust]

which lets it theoretically go to 5.75Ghz, but Ive never seen it go above 5.7Ghz

but I've also not ran super stupid low CO values so

[brisk jolt]

Ive only seen my CCD0 hit 5.75 ghz like- Once

most of the time its at 5.55 to 5.7

[turbid locust]

Whats your R23 score

[brisk jolt]

Havent tried R23 tbh

[turbid locust]

gonna slap my -20 all core back on and call it a day

@brisk jolt just realized I only had +100 on actually

[cosmic gazelle]

couldn’t get the script to work?

[turbid locust]

nah

probably my silly windows install

my shit boots in safe mode lol

i already had pawnio and net 8 installed from other things

so it just immediately worked

thank goodness for bios profiles tho fr

[next ginkgo]

why is it a frame in a frame

it's like he's trapped in another dimension

feels impersonal and frankly not fit for yt

[low sorrel]

@arctic bronze @young void so I've ended up going with teal pants because they were 50 less the second cheapest option from the same variant

Do I go for a teal jacket or is that too much

[arctic bronze]

go teal or go home

[indigo walrus]

Fashionable. Gotta go 110% for the 1970's vibes.

[low sorrel]

Ope nevermind only in small

Fuckers

Ope found another jacket

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

TEAL IS 40 BUCKS MORE

LITERALLY ANY OTHER COLOR

[analog robin]

Jbl quantum 1 or steelseries arctis nova 1 I have the jbl tune770nc and Ive been thinking of switching to new headphones since mine are starting to break

[low sorrel]

Neither get a Sennheiser game one or an seperate headset and mic

[analog robin]

For me I use my headphones when i go outside or when im just gaming so having a boom mic that isnt detachable is not for me but if I go for a seperate mic what mic should i get?

[low sorrel]

Something fifine

[pallid marsh]

apple > no video

[topaz veldt]

So the HAVN BF 360 Flow is sick on the cooling front... but the stock 180mm fans up front are a little noisy even at their lowest PWM

[brisk jolt]

idk i left -20 all core at home with no extra boost

it seems to just dislike going above 5.7 in general

maybe CCD0 could push to 5.8

[brisk jolt]

ya got one?

[topaz veldt]

oh yah didn't you see?

[brisk jolt]

Was it the one with the atmos using noctua fans?

I highk thought it was a fractal

[topaz veldt]

That was my white north xl

[brisk jolt]

ohh so ya moved it to the havn?

thats clean

[low sorrel]

[brisk jolt]

[topaz veldt]

[brisk jolt]

[topaz veldt]

[pallid marsh]

:/

[brisk jolt]

xd

[topaz veldt]

ffs

[brisk jolt]

gosh not eating red meat for a day leaves me with 0 energy icl

[arctic bronze]

lol

imaging getting to eat red meat

😔

#DormLifeSucks

[brisk jolt]

I was a full vegetarian ytd, havent eaten anything today and I feel like absolute shit at 3pm

wheres my boost coefficient

[arctic bronze]

I could never go vegetarian or vegan, I would go insane

I would be extremely depressed if I couldnt eat meat anymore

[pallid marsh]

oh you like meat too much 😏

[arctic bronze]

i fucking knew someone would do this XD

[brisk jolt]

idk if i can do the same today xd

[arctic bronze]

Lol

[topaz veldt]

If we were supposed to be vegetarian or vegan animals wouldn't taste so damned good

[brisk jolt]

yeah im not bearing the suffering of not eating red meat today

[livid flame]

I find it incredible any dinosaurs with significant mass fully sustained themselves on leaves and veggies

Like 50 ton monsters only eating leaves? Don’t sound right

Granted we don’t know if they ate 50kg fruits but yknow. I feel there’s something missing in our information on these

[nova patrol]

dinosaur eat dinosaur

[brisk jolt]

dog eat dog (iykyk)

[livid flame]

A human needs like 1-2kg a day to sustain themselves with vegetables. A dinosaur with significant mass would have to eat like 3-4 tons of it. Just something don’t add up

[brisk jolt]

assuming thats all 3 meals for a human yeah

I have a vegetarian friend who literally filled his entire humongous bowl everytime

[livid flame]

Yeah.

Something says these “herbivores” were all over the stuff with insects and loving a bit of meat tbfh. Only way they’d be able to grow so large and sustainable

I also find vegetarians weird

A girl at work is veggie and always talks about her amazing Sunday roast dinners. Like, without meat, it’s just diabolically poor

[brisk jolt]

I feel like being a vegetarian is very hard to sustain energy

Like I could eat at 4pm and at 7-8 I’d just have an energy crash

[livid flame]

I remember seeing a Novak Djokovic interview where he talks about being vegan and he chose it during his career to keep a sustained level of energy and he plans on eating meat once his tennis career ended

He said how tough it is because you have to eat certain amounts and types of food at specific times of the day to keep going or you can just flag out

[brisk jolt]

Ever since Ive experienced that I just cant live without eating red meats lol

[trim agate]

Eat other animal

[livid flame]

I eat less red meat since having a family. Mainly because the kids don’t like it much

[brisk jolt]

Its like you left the house with your phone at 20%

[livid flame]

I’m like a white British Indian though (even though I’m not) I have 3 curries a week so always eating meat

I also need the Indian guys at work to make me a proper curry sometime tbh

It’s funny though. The Brits born in India when their parents worked are like the generation in their 50s and 60s. They rarely eat curries. Yet us corn bred Brits love a curry

[brisk jolt]

gen z in a nutshell tbh

(im gen z and i fucking agree)

[livid flame]

If my kids don’t wanna work I’m just gonna kick them out tbfh

Worked since I was 15. They will get it easier by far

I won’t take the excuse they’re still in education when I did both

[brisk jolt]

not really tbh

if we look at the charts the proportion of wages versus cost of living is longer than previous generations

jobs might be easier but from my perspective it should also consider into account how the difficulty of past and modern jobs are and how long it takes to work to that same proportion/ratio of money

[livid flame]

I dunno. They may never own a home but they’ll for sure be able to find work

Owning a home in the UK is fucked tbh

[brisk jolt]

finding work is hard today tbh, ignore the 2003-2007 its basically almost the entirety of genz

Theres more with examples with the problems we face as a generation today

[versed crow]

every generation try not to say they have it worst challenege

[brisk jolt]

Basically… Even the past 2 gens or so have already started suffering- It just gets worse. Even my parents cant imagine the generation that come after

My eldest was born 2020. He’s born on the edge of AI boom tbh. Like I was born 88 on the edge of a big technology boom with consoles and phones to follow. He is set up well I feel atm with potential work and life avenues.

[brisk jolt]

idk man… job market is getting pretty banged up rn- not saying it’ll necessarily affect me

[livid flame]

He’s likely to be able to work around AI and not be replaced by it tbh. I’m gonna be replaced 😭

[brisk jolt]

my aunt has been trynna find jobs for the past 2 years and she’s been through 2- But they werent easy to get and the workplaces were shit

The first was okay, but she really didnt like how she felt that she didnt fit in and didnt have a clear target of what to do

The 2nd everything was bombed at her and the company has shitboxes for laptops and no IT department at all

It was helluva unhappy

[livid flame]

I think it can be hard in today’s market to get the job you want or specialised in

In the UK, there is no end of minimum wage retailers and cleaning jobs tbh.

[nova patrol]

i saw this earlier

chinese buyer propably

[devout ridge]

are yall google sheets or spreadsheets kind of people

[shell void]

they’re the unemployed kind of people

[edgy laurel]

damn

(i only really use spreadsheets at work and we're a 365 shop so excel is just easier)

[shell void]

use code unemployed for 20% off at checkout

[edgy laurel]

surely lies but if not.. https://videocardz.com/newz/redditor-claims-100-amazon-returns-pallet-contained-40x-16gb-ddr5-sticks-another-user-gets-the-entire-box-instead-of-one-kit

[topaz veldt]

yeah personally I do not believe it

but it does happen

[edgy laurel]

lying on the internet, crazy

[topaz veldt]

I had the weirdest amazon mishap

[fervent chasm]

It can happen, but usually they don’t send that kind of stuff out to liquidation

[topaz veldt]

I ordered a rather large pelican case and when I got home there was this GIANT package on my door step

it was three pelican cases

[shell void]

did you keep them? xD

[edgy laurel]

One of those things where you may just not have a use for the other two and sent them back

[shell void]

amazon sent me a whole box of intake filters instead of one.. i kept them

[fervent chasm]

I’ve never really got lucky like that, my friend ordered a meta quest and got 2 instead 😢

[edgy laurel]

set for the life of the car lol (wait, maybe not for a car?)

[topaz veldt]

I did a chat and was like so I got 3 of these like 27x24x12" pelican cases how do I return two? they said keep them

[shell void]

yah ill never run out of intake filters for this car xD

[fervent chasm]

Yah they do that

[shell void]

if only it was ram instead of something boring though

[fervent chasm]

Wait through Amazon right?

They don’t gaf if it’s not a high value item

I think $600+ is the threshold?

[fringe vigil]

Happy crimson desert release guys

[edgy laurel]

I ordered shitty (didn't know at the time) NZXT Aer2 RGB fans, 7 of them, when building my O11 machine in 2020. They were lost somewhere along the way so Amazon sent me 7 new ones. The first set magically showed up in my mailbox like 6 months later, no explanation, looking rather battle worn.

[shell void]

it runs gloriously on my nvidia rtx 5090

[fervent chasm]

Once you need signature on delivery it’s considered high value

[fringe vigil]

Not even out bud

[shell void]

geforce blackwell puts BELT TO ASS

[shell void]

six months later? o_o

i’m surprised they found those

[edgy laurel]

Ya, like they had been lost in some warehouse along the way and someone found them

[topaz veldt]

So over the weekend I hit the beer place. They had Harp which is not often. So, I grabbed 3 of the 8 packs since which were like shrink wrapped. Got to the check out - the barcode didn't scan. The due was like all frustrated. He ended up ringing it up as a single 6 pack. I got 24 15 oz Harp beer for $7 or so - I didn't realize until later.

[fervent chasm]

1900s pricing for 24 pack

Idk how people like vodka

Like Jack Daniels and the like, it’s so bad

Yikes sorry, that’s whiskey

Then it’s whiskey that I don’t like

[edgy laurel]

All whiskey isn't created equal

[fervent chasm]

I don’t like a lot of them, I try them pretty often because my dad likes whiskey with Pepsi and he’s got like 10 bottles he switches between

Cytrynowka on the other hand which IS vodka, that’s the stuff I like

Or the flavored beer
