Want to make myself a suped up bus

Can you do custom liveries for cars in FH6?

[turbid locust]

was shook for approximately 0.32 seconds before I realized this was a credit card

[steel stream]

Dude you’re a new color wtf

[shell void]

yah but i think it’s a pain in the ass to make one yourself

someone might have already made the design that you’re looking for

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

ik I tweaked out about it yesterday

[steel stream]

Ok cool, my VW bus in GT7 is like 600HP and has a mystery machine livery

[shell void]

that color is so ugly icl

[turbid locust]

they randomly decided to change the color of the booster role

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-hand-back-away-dog-leave-disgusted-gif-15798798190133447846

[turbid locust]

I mean I kinda fw it

[steel stream]

I like the color too

[shell void]

i suppose it more closely matches mac’s pfp

but the color itself is quite drab

[turbid locust]

I listened to the album my pfp is from front to back yesterday. Still a banger.

I have the opportunity to finally go see knocked loose two days after my birthday this year

Considering they’re from my state it’s awfully fucking hard to find a show within 3hr drive LMAO

[turbid locust]

and they’re going to be with Denzel Curry

[steel stream]

I’ve never heard of Denzel curry tbh

[turbid locust]

Experience bro

Also you definitely have

The song in all the og bottle flip videos

was Ultimate by Denzel Curry

[steel stream]

Ohhhhh ok

[merry stirrup]

eminem never could have made d rose

[turbid locust]

Correct

[steel stream]

Real

[turbid locust]

Limu Emu is my favorite rapper

[steel stream]

@topaz veldt 👀

4K 360, 1440p 520, RGB Stripe, DP80, new coating QD-OLED

[steel stream]

Damn

[shell void]

yay we’ve moved on from 4k240 at last

[steel stream]

Customizable HDR hm

4K360 will go crazy for my Minecraft gaming

[shell void]

roblox only natively supports 240fps bro this is a tragedy

[steel stream]

🥀

[smoky orbit]

only since 2025 too

[steel stream]

W boss came by my desk and I had YT on the secondary screen and was just cleaning my phone

[shell void]

boss was doing the same thing at his desk before remembering that he should go pretend to look productive by checking on his employees

[steel stream]

Real

[brisk jolt]

wtaf

[turbid locust]

Looks depressing as fuck but this is my “I’m too lazy to put actual effort into the breakfast I cook myself maybe once a month” breakfast lmao

[steel stream]

I like the tablemat

[turbid locust]

yurrrr

[topaz veldt]

WHEN

[topaz veldt]

I mean bro that's not bad

[turbid locust]

I like my simple breakfasts lol

[topaz veldt]

the white balance has the eggs looking green

but we can look past that

[burnt socket]

i would never

[turbid locust]

I rarely eat breakfast as it is but when I do I hate when it’s something like super heavy

[turbid locust]

yeah idk but they’re not green lmao

[pure garnet]

green eggs 🔥

[turbid locust]

[shell void]

they didn’t give a release date sadly

i would assume it’ll come out after CES 2027

[turbid locust]

These eggs are mid ngl

[cosmic gazelle]

bros name is sam i am

[shell void]

scrambling is my least favorite way to prepare eggs

[turbid locust]

Every time I cook eggs they’re either the greatest I’ve ever had or mid as fuck

[topaz veldt]

they look perhaps a little under cooked

[turbid locust]

Think I did em too slow tbh

[proven saddle]

Roblox is life

[topaz veldt]

ya

[proven saddle]

*ja

[steel stream]

Sunny side up is the way to go

[turbid locust]

One thing i absolutely suck at still is timing everything to be done at once

[shell void]

i prefer my fried eggs to be flipped, but yeah fried eggs are ideal i agree

[turbid locust]

That’s why I did the eggs so slow is because I was trying to time other shit lol

[shell void]

tastes so much better than scrambled

[steel stream]

My cooking is serial not parallel

[shell void]

the eggs look cooked nicely to me brother mac

[turbid locust]

Ok but eggs get cold in 4 seconds

[steel stream]

I’d eat the scrambled eggs

[shell void]

i prefer a low and slow scramble that leads to a wetter finish

[steel stream]

Yeah so I do eggs last

[shell void]

those are better than the high heat dry scrambled eggs

[topaz veldt]

i am an omlette guy

[turbid locust]

[turbid locust]

Fiestaware gang

[topaz veldt]

awyeah

[steel stream]

My breakfast today was yoghurt

[topaz veldt]

plebian plates

[proven saddle]

Whith onion?

[shell void]

looks nice

[proven saddle]

Looks yummy

[turbid locust]

My breakfast is usually just Lamictal

[topaz veldt]

This is our "put your shirt on at the table" plates

[proven saddle]

With this in combo

[wraith steeple]

Today I have to run up to the markets and buy me some stuff

[turbid locust]

🔥

[proven saddle]

Buy food?

[steel stream]

I thought this was some sort of lactose free product at first tbh

[turbid locust]

I’m wanting to learn to cook steak soon but I just have to mentally prepare myself to ruin like 3 steaks probably

[turbid locust]

did you Google it lmao

[steel stream]

Yah lol

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

Stainless steel?

[smoky orbit]

Im gonna kms, someone said that kids that go in our kid protection system all come out trans at 18 qwq fuck this shit

[topaz veldt]

buy thick cut first, almost impossible to do wrong

[turbid locust]

Would probably do it in the single cast iron pan I own

[proven saddle]

Master the cooking of a steak

[topaz veldt]

yep do it in a cast iron skillet and finish it in the oven

[turbid locust]

3 mins each side and vibe

[smoky orbit]

(our system is clapped to the ground, yes, but how the fuck does that maeks sense)

[steel stream]

Hmm, idk too much about steak in cast tbh, I fuck heavy with the stainless steel

[proven saddle]

Hope for the best

[steel stream]

2:45-3:00 each side, sear the fat for a minute, then baste with butter garlic and herbs for 60-90 seconds

[turbid locust]

yes

that is supposedly the method

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I sear them hot iron pan w/ butter

[burnt socket]

goes great with my g304

[turbid locust]

fuck the oven

[topaz veldt]

then pop that bish in the oven again and put a chunk of butter on it again

nah dude the oven is whats up - sear the outside CRAZY hot but quick

[steel stream]

Meijer steaks are thin enough I don’t need the oven

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

oh yeah if you are doign like 3/4 - 1" steaks no oven needed

but I like a 1.5"+ steak and you will oven it at like 350 for 5 mins after the sear

[turbid locust]

I would just be mad paranoid about overcooking it

[turbid locust]

if i cut it and it’s anything over medium i will ragequit

[topaz veldt]

I like medium rare / medium

but a 1.5"er just pan seared is like RARE center

[turbid locust]

anyone that likes over medium should be shot

[steel stream]

Bro Po had to train and believe in himself to become the dragon warrior, might take a bit but you’ll get there

[topaz veldt]

like carpaccio rare lol

[steel stream]

I do medium rare

[topaz veldt]

honestly it depends on what im doing

like just steak and mushrooms, medium rare

but if I am doing mashed potatos or something where the juice will be gross visually I will do medium rare/medium

[turbid locust]

see in the type of mf that would eat just steak

steak and no sides. steak.

[topaz veldt]

ha yes my son and i do that

my wife is all ...

[wise bear]

"where is the asparagus?"

[wise bear]

ngl rare/med-rare is some of the best

[turbid locust]

2/3 of my last 3 meals were literally just a single chicken breast

[topaz veldt]

"Oh i uh... it fell on the ground so like... just steak now"

[wise bear]

my sister likes blue rare but most places wont cook that lol

[turbid locust]

It also depends on where you are tbh

[topaz veldt]

Shoneys

[turbid locust]

If I’m in a proper steakhouse I’m ordering medium or medium well because medium in a proper steakhouse is borderline rare

[topaz veldt]

filet i get medium rare

[turbid locust]

ordered medium rare in a steakhouse in lower manhattan once and they brought it out damn near blue LMAO

[topaz veldt]

because there's no fat to make it juice up

[steel stream]

Damn

Mac you need fiber

[turbid locust]

u prolly right but like I eat salad occasionally

[topaz veldt]

corn salad

[turbid locust]

Ever since I started actually tracking wtf I’m eating I’m about that protein:calorie ratio bro

It genuinely pisses me off when a meal is over like 800cal

[steel stream]

Nah I need more cal

[turbid locust]

I need that snack calorie budget bro

2 servings of cheddar blasted goldfish is 280 cals

I need that left over at the end of the day bro

Bourbon is 100cal a shot bro

I need bourbon and goldfish budget calories bro

[topaz veldt]

I gotta stop drinkin IPAs

[turbid locust]

NON NEGOTIABLE

[shell void]

https://tenor.com/view/omurice-egg-omelette-gif-8819210118606072261

[turbid locust]

this reminds me of my boss making fun of me the last time I submitted business expenses from my last work trip

[frank zealot]

80 proof Hard Liquor is 100 cals per 1.5oz (cuz alcohol)

The rest of the stuff in the liquid is negligible. So Anything 80 proof is 100cal per shot.

[wise bear]

[steel stream]

I kinda want to learn how to make this tbh

[turbid locust]

“Two double woodfords and chicken tenders? I can’t tell if you’re 5 or 45.”

[topaz veldt]

omfg

[steel stream]

It’s super tough but it would be cool

[frank zealot]

Omurice is so hard to find, and it's SO GODDAMNED GOOD

[topaz veldt]

I am on this call and this nerdy flat dude just said

"Don't worry... it's too big to swing back and forth" in regards to a rack being delivered at the DC.... and I .... I couldn't help myself

[turbid locust]

I generally estimate high rather than low so

[shell void]

i need it so badly

[frank zealot]

I should specify, unless it's something like Aftershock or the like that is alcohol in a simple syrup.

Those are obviously higher.

[turbid locust]

oh I just pour two shots over an ice cube I’m ngl

my usual drinkin bourbon is 90 proof so

whatever that is in cals/shot

[wise bear]

what is itttt

it looks corn-y

[frank zealot]

slightly higher, but.... only slightly.
maybe 110-115

[pure garnet]

every time i drink i just get a headache

[burnt socket]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-no-goofy-ah-schwarzenegger-gif-3232264195128170765

[frank zealot]

what do you drink?

[wise bear]

That's not even a joke you fucking simpleton, piss off

[pure garnet]

i’ve tried beer, rum, and now 2 cocktails

[frank zealot]

while drinking you get the headache, or after?

[steel stream]

It’s egg, called omurice

[wise bear]

Oooo

[pure garnet]

while drinking

[wise bear]

Anything egg I'm so in

[frank zealot]

it's a really delish japanese omlette served over fried rice

[wise bear]

My mouth, now.

[frank zealot]

if it's done right, they bring it to you, and then do the slice open at your table

[wise bear]

[burnt socket]

so you're serious?

[turbid locust]

I drink to get rid of a headache so like skissue?

[wise bear]

Yes? it looked like corn-something so I said it looked corny

[frank zealot]

If you don't know what it is, I could see someone thinking it was made from ground corn

[pure garnet]

genetic diffed 🥀

[frank zealot]

there is a possibility you're sensetive to alcohol

[burnt socket]

but I do know

[turbid locust]

[hoary hatch]

I need to try omurice

[turbid locust]

I’m almost out of Woodford double oaked bro shit I’m glad I checked

LIQUOR STORE RUN TN

[hoary hatch]

But I've never seen it on a menu before

[frank zealot]

Only try it if you find someplace local.
Otherwise you'll be mad that you can't get it more often

[turbid locust]

(I’m getting drunk with my brother in VC tonight and we’re having a drunk driving session in Forza)

[wraith steeple]

I'm getting ready to drive to the Arab market to get some things like food, meat, baharat, sweets, and fresh bread

[hoary hatch]

I'm flying to Tokyo specifically for omurice and you can't stop me

Am I stupid or is he green now

[frank zealot]

you will be so mad after you come back.

I had it in tokyo the first time, and I was SO deprived in Boston

[shell void]

you’ll just have to learn to make it yourself

[frank zealot]

it's not easy, I have actually tried

[steel stream]

Imma find you on the map

[burnt socket]

best way to drive
experience natural obstructions without the harm of others

[hoary hatch]

I don't think I have the patience or finesse for that

[burnt socket]

(don't and never do it irl)

[frank zealot]

it doesn't take that long to make.

What it does take is practice

the fried rice takes a lot longer than the egg

[wraith steeple]

Me? Yes I am green

[turbid locust]

I’ve completed a lot of the game. All my races are done, and I’ve 100%’d every PR stunt except the last trailblazer.

I have a lot to do still in the Discover Japan section

Not excited to do the road discovery and the xp boards/mascots lol

[late atlas]

They're easy, road discovery will be the annoying one

I've done it all, and only got 4 roads left but I have no idea where

[turbid locust]

oof lol

[late atlas]

But mascots and boards are really easy to find

[late atlas]

What sucks is there's some underground sections that get like overlapped by the roads above on the map

So you can't even see if you've drove that underground bit or not

[turbid locust]

Yeah

The last trailblazer I need is actually miserable to do

It’s the super long one

[burnt socket]

is it just me or your color is mint

[turbid locust]

They changed the booster role color

[steel stream]

It’s still green you might be color blind

[burnt socket]

i can tell the difference dw

[hoary hatch]

Oh shit

I clocked under 190 lbs for the first time in over 2 years

[steel stream]

Huge

Wait not huge, but good shit

[smoky orbit]

Damn, if your goal is to loose weight, congrats, if it’s not, damn that sucks

[steep elbow]

I am Never MESSING around WITH JUMPER CABLES AHH

[steep elbow]

[smoky orbit]

(Weight related stuff is too sensible for me to only write one option, I know how tough it is sometimes)

[smoky orbit]

Skill issue

[steep elbow]

But seriously I freshly cut my nails THIS MORNING 😭😭

[smoky orbit]

Damn, that sucks

[steep elbow]

😭

It's fine but I can barely type with that finger and the breeze hurte

[pure garnet]

how do you manage to cut your finger with these

[south shuttle]

oh wow

[smoky orbit]

As I said: skill issue

[steep elbow]

I pressed too hard with my finder nails on trying to get the connector off but it slipped AND WHET FULL FORCE BETWEEN MY FINGER AND NAIL

[wise bear]

bro got finger-fucked by a dupont pin

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh you mean these cables

[steep elbow]

YES

[pure garnet]

that makes more sense

[steep elbow]

😭

[hoary hatch]

I gotta be less fat for my wedding this fall lmao

205->190 in uhhh 2 months? Maybe closer to 3

[turbid locust]

WOOOOO LETS GO

I’m under 240 for the first time in like 3-4 years 🫡

progress mfs progress

[steel stream]

🔥🔥🔥

[smoky orbit]

woah, congrats

[turbid locust]

I blame Covid for everything ngl

Literally the month before covid I was 200 running 8 min miles fuckin COOKIN

Covid + college made me FAT

[proven saddle]

I'm at 220LB or 100kg

[turbid locust]

That is my goal weight, almost there. Be there soon 🫡

[proven saddle]

You can do it 💪

[steel stream]

I gained 15 lbs sophomore year, trying to gain another 15 this year

[turbid locust]

depending on how quick I get there I may readjust and try to get to around 200-210

[hoary hatch]

In 2021 I went from 220 to 180 in about 4 months

[turbid locust]

but like -28lbs in 70 days 🔥

[proven saddle]

I want my belly gone nothing more

[turbid locust]

yeah “goal weight” is kind of silly, I don’t actually care what the number is I just want to feel better lmfao

[steel stream]

Mac you need GLP-1s

[proven saddle]

I hope for you 🙂

[cosmic gazelle]

fire

not gonna be a naysayer but it could be advantageous to slow it down slightly now that you've lost a bit

as someone in le field

dude i shit you not this is the first config that has actually trained that has quickly failed

that i've had this entire time

[turbid locust]

I’m actually terrified of that shit/terrified for people doing that

I think the long term effects will be bad

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah no stay away from glp1 as much as possible

[turbid locust]

It’s going to get to a point where people’s bodies won’t do it itself anymore

[cosmic gazelle]

the only situation imo where it's healthier is if you are like, literally 400+ lbs and are going to have a heart attack or stroke at any given moment

[steel stream]

Peptides peptides peptides

[cosmic gazelle]

people also don't understand that the peptides that make you lose weight are the same fucking thing as glp1 just not fda approved 😭

like why do you think they make you lose weight bruh 😭

[steel stream]

I need peptides for muscle growth and tanning

[cosmic gazelle]

i know you're memeing but 1. peptides that cause muscle growth suck and you should just take testosterone

and 2. melanotan is a fucking NIGHTMARE and causes a whole slew of negative health effects

i don't know why we're normalizing melanotan it's literally so bad for you

[steel stream]

If Patrick bateman had peptides that dude would be using all of them

[cosmic gazelle]

lmao real

there are peptides that i'm not against

i support the use of bpc and tb4 and stuff like that for the most part

because they're innocuous and just help with injury recovery

but peptides were never supposed to be an easy fix

[brisk jolt]

gimme some steroids and leme build up arm muscle like a x1.5 exp event

[cosmic gazelle]

if you take steroids and don't know how/ don't make time for lifting a lot, you'll just look like a weird disproportionate version of what you looked like before lol

[late atlas]

Literally

[steel stream]

Everything in life has to be optimized and I have to be perfect

[late atlas]

A lot of people say/think that taking steroids is like "oh you cheated" "oh you took the easy route", WHEN LITERALLY if anything you need do more

With steroids you literally need to lift more and go more

[pure garnet]

youtube recommendations are cooking

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean steroids are incredibly effective and will make you gain muscle in the absence of any physical activity whatsoever

[late atlas]

That is so extremely specific

[cosmic gazelle]

but you won't look good by taking steroids and doing nothing

your average TRT taker literally looks fatter than when he started because now he has a roid gut

[late atlas]

Well yeah, but if anything taking steroids means you also now have to do more and work even harder, because your body also recovers quicker

And is able to do more

It is a performance enhancing drug

[pure garnet]

lmfao

[late atlas]

2011, god damn

[cosmic gazelle]

dude yoko ever since i spotted the go to bios batch file on bz's desktop, my life has gotten so much better

because my usb just like drops out half the time while i'm posting

[pure garnet]

what the hell

[steel stream]

There’s like 16 year olds taking roids now

[late atlas]

Yeah it's bad

There's actually a big issue with teenagers and like people who just got to their 20s taking roids

[pure garnet]

i just mash delete im ngl

[late atlas]

It's so bad at such an early age

The damage it'll cause

[cosmic gazelle]

it's all bad for a developing body but the 16 year old that took 500mg of testosterone will turn out way better than the 16 year old that took rad140

[cosmic gazelle]

no like my board is stupid and just like randomly drops usb until after the boot screen like 1/4 times

[steel stream]

One 16yr old said he doesn’t care about the damage as it matters more now

[cosmic gazelle]

if you aren't taking like insanely high amounts it's mostly reversible, but unfortunately the majority of teenagers know nothing about safe and educated use

[late atlas]

Yeah I mean he'll only have to live with his stupid mistake for the rest of his life and for like the next 70 years, he totally won't regret that when it'll hinder his life and health as he's growing up

[late atlas]

Yeah

They're too gullible and easily influenced

[cosmic gazelle]

like as a professional, chris bumstead's bloodwork is/was healthier than 90% of the people in this discord server while he was competing

but it's because he was extremely careful

[late atlas]

Yeah but that's Chris

He was being careful, he has a coach and a team behind him. He has the money, and he also has 1 in a billion genetics

And he didn't start when he was 16

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean genetics don't play a role in whether your liver enzymes are properly regulated and shit lol

but he has an autoimmune disease and had no choice but to take his health extremely seriously

[late atlas]

No but it plays a role on your body, and I imagine a lot of young people look at Chris and want to be like him

When they simply CANNOT be like him

[cosmic gazelle]

this dude's not quite as aesthetic, but he takes all kinds of steroids and posts his bloodwork publically

him and his girlfriend/wife? eat like literally pure. like zero unhealthy foods, they get checkups on a monthly basis, they take liver health supplements, etc.

like that's the stuff you have to do if you want to do it safely

[late atlas]

I mean it also takes a certain amount of intelligence to do that. Very basic yes but there's so many people who struggle with diseases and just don't give a shit

Like my friend's ex had asthma, and she vaped

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah chris is a pretty intelligent guy in interviews, levelheaded

[late atlas]

Stuff like that, just an example

[late atlas]

He's smart, he's successful and he knows what he's doing, that can't be said for every 16 year old taking roids

[smoky orbit]

they kinda do, they manage how the regulators will grow/act, etc, genes are basically your "source code"

[late atlas]

Yep

[cosmic gazelle]

lol

as someone who works in this field there's no genetics that will make your liver healthy if you abuse it

and no genetics that will ruin your liver health if you make good choices

[late atlas]

24/7 only water for over 5 years gang

[smoky orbit]

ohhh, yeah, ofc, but genes do impact your liver's tolerance and other characteristic

[smoky orbit]

not ruin but still impact it

[cosmic gazelle]

i love when people act like alcohol doesn't really impact your body that much and then you point out that bodybuilders will do a shitton of steroids and be completely sober

kinda makes you think 😂

[late atlas]

Yeah it does and you know the amount of times I was in a social situation right, and I refused to eat any of the food and refused drink, even tho I was being asked to have some for hours, it's awkward as fuck and you feel rude but

At the end of the day, I'm healthy and not ruining my body, you can

I do also take my health to an extreme, not so much with the checkups, but I have a set meal plan I eat everyday and only drink water. I have never cheated on it nor missed something, so it's awkward as fuck and I can't do anything socially really

But it's worth it

[cosmic gazelle]

like i'm already not as lean as i wanna be and i DON'T drink, i don't need to get fatter than this gang

that's basically my reasoning

[late atlas]

And also I'm not going to be able to gym being hungover lol

[late atlas]

Yeah exactly

[pure garnet]

it's time @steel stream @shell void

[late atlas]

Even when I bulk, i still only eat 0 fat, 0 sugar, only clean and healthy foods

[cosmic gazelle]

15fps 6x framegen

[late atlas]

There's 8x too

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i don't do that on a cut lol

[late atlas]

Wdym? You don't eat healthy on a cut or

[steel stream]

Damn I really have to buy this

[cosmic gazelle]

i eat healthy but fat and sugar are fine in moderation

[late atlas]

Do you have Forza yet

[steel stream]

Yes

[late atlas]

Yeah it is, and to some extent it's needed BUT

[steel stream]

No sugar is crazy

[late atlas]

I'm autistically fixated on maximising health and getting rid of all fat and sugars

[cosmic gazelle]

sugar is arguably meaningless in a calorie deficit because your body just immediately churns through it all

[late atlas]

That's me

[cosmic gazelle]

during a bulk it would matter more imo

[late atlas]

I don't even put seasoning on my food

I am like borderline crazy about my food

[cosmic gazelle]

idk about that 😭

what's wrong with seasoning gang 😭

[late atlas]

I'm aware it doesn't help

And I'm aware seasoning is okay

I just don't put seasoning on my food because it makes me feel better

And generally, when I didn't have a healthy lifestyle, I was never big into seasoning, only used to put salt/pepper on things and that's it

[shell void]

IT’S THE BAT

[cosmic gazelle]

imo there's two arguments for and against sugar consumption during a cut

assuming you're tracking accurately and this isn't an overconsumption issue

[late atlas]

I think I know one of them

[cosmic gazelle]

you can either use it as short term fuel and your body will not experience negative impacts because you are already depleted

or it can cause you to overeat because sugary foods are often not as satiating

i tend to lean towards the first one but it's different per person

[late atlas]

For me it's a mental thing

I feel better with no sugar no fat and no seasonings

Because even tho all those 3 things can be okay

I feel better knowing I have none of them or extremely little

Like my fat intake in a day is 12-20g? I think

[cosmic gazelle]

as long as you are intaking enough actual dietary fat, that's not an issue

[late atlas]

Or less, can't remember exactly

[cosmic gazelle]

oh that's like, not within guidelines homie

[late atlas]

😭

[cosmic gazelle]

you're harming yourself metabolically by consuming so little fat

[late atlas]

My carbs, protein and fibre is fine tho

[cosmic gazelle]

cognitive function and endothelial/skin hair nails really hinge on you getting the bare minimum of fat per day

and you're eating like half that amount

[steel stream]

I’m not trying to be mean or anything but this sounds pretty close to an eating disorder

[late atlas]

Hm

[late atlas]

I am tracking what I eat

My weight too

[late atlas]

So it should be like 40g?

[cosmic gazelle]

the no sugar and stuff is fine but you should really bring your fat to at least 35-40g per day

yeah

[late atlas]

Yeah I'll do the maths again and see how much I consume and then I can adjust, because I definitely know it's below 30g, my guess is it's around that 20g mark yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

this is what i ate yesterday while cutting. you will be fine with 40 grams lol

@pure garnet my trcdrd won't go lower than 42 at 6400 bruh

this micron shit wack man

[late atlas]

Yeah my protein is also excessive

But it's always been excessive

If I'm correct, I eat around 330g protein in a day, like 250g carbs, and I can't remember the fibre

[cosmic gazelle]

there's a reasonable amount of evidence in favor of anything up to 2 grams per kg but that's like, for athletes and those who are under an extreme physical load

[late atlas]

Chicken and rice fdw

[late atlas]

Like without tooting my own horn, genuinely. I do hit the gym quite extremely as each session is like 2 hours

And I take almost every set till failure

Or basically 1/2 reps short of it, with straps

[cosmic gazelle]

there's some camps that would say overconsumption is causing your body to identify protein as an energy source more easily over an amino acid source

either way you'd be better off trying to sit at around 2 grams per kilo

[pure garnet]

50fps 😭

[late atlas]

It feels so wrong to reduce protein even tho I know it's excessive

[late atlas]

I mean is that a bad thing?

[smoky orbit]

ah, yes gym bro bs, been while since I saw this type of bs

[cosmic gazelle]

it's so nice having parents

[cosmic gazelle]

lol i haven't read on the recent info we have about it but it's not entirely made up

can't verify from memory if it's something we still think or not

why would gym bro bs advocate for lowering protein consumption anyways lol

[late atlas]

If anything they'd advocate only eating protein

[shell void]

does it look nice?

[smoky orbit]

yeah but your body won't "recognise" anything as anything, it will try to adapt to any kinds of lacking nutriments and try to find a way to compensate how ever it can, it might use protein as an energy source but not on purpose nor is it a good thing

[late atlas]

Looks incredible from the ss

[cosmic gazelle]

i don't think you're reading my comment correctly

[pure garnet]

yeah, dlaa -> dlss balanced got me about 90fps at max

[late atlas]

I will turn into a blob of muscley protein

[steel stream]

Is the game like RT or PT

[late atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/pt-cruiser-go-to-hell-boom-gif-5907185427079983010

[smoky orbit]

I was clarifying why your body won't turn to protein for it's energy source (on purpose)

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean it certainly does if that's what's available to it

[smoky orbit]

yeah, but not on purpose, not it will just try to survive as best as it can

it's an action->reaction kinda thing

[late atlas]

I do wonder

What if I'd feed my body a liquid only diet

Like I'd genuinely be happy with that, if it meant I could get all the nutrition out of it

[pure garnet]

rt

[late atlas]

Like I don't care for taste and texture yk, but if it's convenient, instant and I don't have to prepare I'd pay for liquid food

Actually let me Google it

[late atlas]

@smoky orbit @cosmic gazelle what do you guys think of the idea

[cosmic gazelle]

hard to get good quality foods in with liquid only but it's certainly an option

[smoky orbit]

[steel stream]

You might as well eat gorilla kibble atp

[late atlas]

Listen I'm the guy who eats 20g fat in a day, 0 sugar, only drinks water and adds no seasoning

[cosmic gazelle]

also @smoky orbit i just looked it up and the idea that excessive protein intake could lower protein synthesis due to preferential treatment as an energy source is not supported by recent data, it's just not going to increase protein synthesis past a certain point

[late atlas]

If the food is quick and convenient and has all the nutrients I need, I'd do it

[cosmic gazelle]

so the claim i was suggesting is in fact not the case

i will still default to that I always claimed that i wasn't sure about it 😂

[late atlas]

I'm considering this liquid diet

[smoky orbit]

yeah, makes sense

[steel stream]

Insanity

[late atlas]

You know what else I do that's insane?

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm considering crashing out because tell me why tf the mariners game is at SEVEN TEN PM TODAY

[late atlas]

I have recommendations and watch history turned off in YouTube

[steel stream]

I hate to be this forward but do you have autism

[late atlas]

I might

[steel stream]

Imma be honest you should go to a doctor and check

[floral spear]

Ngl this stick drift shit has been annoying

[smoky orbit]

thinking you won't try to end it all if you only injest a liquid diet

[late atlas]

ugly as hell bruh

[steel stream]

I haven’t made myself food in a minute, I miss it

[cosmic gazelle]

bro has infinite money

how do people not make their own food in this economy

[steel stream]

Living with my parents rn

Home for the summer

[shell void]

perfect opportunity to cook at home

[cosmic gazelle]

michael i have un pregunto

my hottest stick has its spd at 52c rn

if i raise trefi from 32k am i gonna start crashing at that temp

[shell void]

pregananan?

[shell void]

yeah that's quite possible

[shell void]

raising trefi will also cause your memory to get even hotter so it's a double whammy

it makes it both hotter and also more sensitive to being hot

[cosmic gazelle]

i haven't min maxed rfc yet so i'll probably jsut leave refi then

32k is like fine from what i've seen

[fringe vigil]

I just watched the backrooms movie wtf was that shit

[steel stream]

Idk man dinner is magically on the table when I get home most days

[steel stream]

Good or bad

[shell void]

cook your lunch my friend

or brunch rather if you skip breakfast

[fringe vigil]

It’s not that good

[cosmic gazelle]

theoretically if people hit 256ns rfc at 6000, i should just set my 6400 config to a value that equates to 256ns no?

[steel stream]

I take leftovers to work like everyday lol, I suppose I could on weekends

[whole coral]

Alright so we will be getting a new LG dryer

Should be significantly quieter which is nice. Don’t think we will get a TurboSteam one though

[shell void]

if 256ns works at 6000 then yeah it should also work at 6400

assuming the temperatures are similar

[whole coral]

A modern LG dryer costs about $750

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean i'll have to check back in in like 30 minutes but my hottest stick is at 52.5 and still creeping up

so i may have to compromise on refresh lol

[topaz veldt]

just sayin

[cosmic gazelle]

tf did dell do bruh

[shell void]

they announced a macbook neo competitor laptop at $600, and also their nvidia n1x laptop

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asrock-brings-taichi-oled-gaming-monitors-to-computex-up-to-540hz-with-tandem-oled

[shell void]

idk if they did something in enterprise i havent looked

[cosmic gazelle]

whats it called i wanna see if it's better than mine

the first one

[shell void]

it's their new dell xps 13, idk any more specific than that

there's a $600 (with edu discount) model with a core 5 320 (wildcat lake)

[cosmic gazelle]

oh it fucking starts at 8gb of ram

that is not a neo competitor bruh

[shell void]

it is

[cosmic gazelle]

8gb of ram on windows is not 8gb of ram on macos

[shell void]

it's literally spec identical but intel

theyre both 2p4e and 8GB

[cosmic gazelle]

if we are actually acting like windows handles 8gb as gracefully as macos does i have a bridge to sell you

[pure garnet]

8gb is fine for the stuff neo tier customers do

[shell void]

people when the premium netbook class laptop doesnt have 32GB of ram and 16 cores

[turbid locust]

Fully convinced 90% of drivers in my city have some form of mental deficiency

[cosmic gazelle]

bro you can like, open 2 tabs of chrome on 8gb now tf are you guys talking about 😭

especially on the default windows install which 90% of owners will not change

[shell void]

yes it is going to use nvme swap, and it's not a big deal

it's a perfectly cromulent configuration for a modern netbook

[steel stream]

Playing FH6 irl smh

[turbid locust]

For context I was in an almost 10 car pileup because two dumbasses SLAMMED their brakes to stop for a funeral procession on the other side of a concrete and grass median with trees, on a 4 lane road

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean i got a ryzen laptop from hp new for the same price with better specs in basically every regard, besides power consumption/efficiency so that's why i'm not that impressed

[shell void]

im a little tempted to get one myself to see how bad (or not) 8GB really is

id like a cheap but not shitty x86 laptop

[steel stream]

$600 for a usable laptop with 120Hz would be awesome

[pure garnet]

the game softlocked and batman is stuck doing this

[cosmic gazelle]

i got 6c/12t 16gb and 1440p 120hz for $600 like 2 years ago lol

but i guess stuff is more expensive now idk

[shell void]

yeah key phrasing being two years ago

[steel stream]

Pause

[cosmic gazelle]

straight up jorking it and by it i mean my peanits

[steel stream]

Jarvis enhance

[shell void]

discipline

[cosmic gazelle]

it sucks because the cpu rocks but the graphics leave somethign to be desired and i kinda want an upgrade but it's so expensive now

[shell void]

lunar lake laptops are surprisingly good value sometimes

like ultra 7 258v

[turbid locust]

Like I get it if it were a 2 lane road with no median but we are doing 60 MPH ON A 4 LANE ROAD

[cosmic gazelle]

see but like

yes, much more efficient. not arguing that

but i don't really want to upgrade to a worse chip in raw throughput

[floral spear]

I was looking for a desktop shelf so I can make my desktop look clean but this enraged me idk why

[wise bear]

its cute

[cosmic gazelle]

i've seen worse setups

[shell void]

it's not

you specifically mentioned graphics, the 8 Xe2 cores in the 258V outperform the Radeon 890M in the Ryzen AI 9 HX370

[pure garnet]

$70 game

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but i'm saying i don't want better graphics at the expense of a somewhat worse cpu

[cosmic gazelle]

i see no issue here this is awesome

[floral spear]

Im just looking for a shelf ro put my mini Blahaj and Nendroid on :(

[shell void]

ehhhhhh i wouldnt say it's a worse cpu

id rather have 4p8e arrow lake than 6 core zen 4 in a laptop personally

but it's not an exciting upgrade i can agree there

panther lake is what youd really want but that's super expensive

[cosmic gazelle]

like this is the cheapest decently specced thing hp has, like $1050 after buying another ram stick

and 1080p panels are kinda yikes

[shell void]

that spec list looks terrible

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean the biggest issue for me is 1080p and the ram

[shell void]

that's a raptor lake cpu so it has a super weak igpu

[cosmic gazelle]

dawg

[shell void]

oh it says 5050 lol

i thought you would only be looking at apus

[cosmic gazelle]

which again i know the 5050 isn't knocking any socks off

but it's not like horrendous

[wise bear]

spend another $600 and get something better

[cosmic gazelle]

ah yes

just spend twice as much you'll get a better laptop

[wise bear]

just sayin dawg

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-laptop-duh-gif-8033838636860661307

why must i be doomed to tcl 40 hell 😭

curse you micron curse you

[shell void]

it’s solid

it’s actually better than the 5050 desktop

performance per watt anyway because it has GDDR7 instead of G6

[pure garnet]

apparently my batman going crazy with his bat was a controller issue, my left trigger was spamming constant down up signals

[shell void]

you’re just making the choice to abandon the efficiency of an APU in exchange for a low end dGPU which most people do not want to do

[cosmic gazelle]

i did not know this

[pure garnet]

updating the firmware fixed it tho

[cosmic gazelle]

don’t some laptops do the thing where it can still use the igpu if you tell it to

like if i don’t plan on gaming

[shell void]

yeah you might be able to park the dgpu but then you’re rocking an abysmal raptor lake igpu

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean i don’t need a good igpu for web browsing and answering emails

[shell void]

and manually parking is annoying

yeah i’d have to replace the whole screen, i couldn’t live with that

I mean, if there's a bug on my monitor? I flick it off, I don't mush it into the damned panel

[shell void]

if it’s under the screen then there is no chance to flick it off

[frank zealot]

yup. Then you just hope it crawls back out

[shell void]

or hope that it dies somewhere else besides the screen xD

so it can either go unnoticed or be removed

But why SATA?!?!?

@vestal elbow

cheap ig

[wraith steeple]

[wise bear]

industrial/embedded systems

[wraith steeple]

This stuff is great for breakfast and served with tea

[frank zealot]

I guess, maybe?
But how many of them have M.2 ports but no NVME?

[smoky orbit]

low power industrial pcs might only have sata support

[frank zealot]

all of those i've seen either have SATA SATA ports, or they also support NVME

[smoky orbit]

no idea then

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

[shell void]

nevertheless if it was for embedded it wouldn’t be sold on the consumer newegg storefront

well that does say newegg business but i assume it’s on the main page too

[frank zealot]

https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/
Okay that's hilarious, but pointless

[frank zealot]

Was just digging through the nvidia app and found there are dlss presets. What do yall use (if you guys are using it)?

[steel stream]

What’s the article even about

[frank zealot]

apple is blocking apps that would explicity scam people, instead of taking their money

[whole coral]

Alright so $991 spent on a dryer

Though the dryer has a TurboSteam function which is nice

[shell void]

TLDR 20/30 series owners should use K, and 40/50 series owners should use L, but sometimes K is still preferred because it can be more natural looking

K is the best at antialiasing, and it gives you the most performance, but it has the worst ghosting/smearing, and it compresses HDR highlights

M is the sharpest, and it has the least ghosting/smearing, but it’s the worst at antialiasing, and you get lower performance than with K

L is the most balanced, and it’s the best at handling lower render resolutions, but it’s the lowest performance preset

i usually use K for DLAA when i want the most natural looking image and don’t mind some smear, and L for when im upscaling, or when i want to eliminate smearing

[wraith steeple]

[harsh adder]

can anyone suggest me good monitor under 100 dollars?

[harsh adder]

mb 400 malaysian ringgit

[smoky orbit]

oh oki, ngl there's not a lot of options at this price point

[harsh adder]

yes ive been doing my own research i might go with lenovo loq 24-10 but i wanted to get someone elses opinion aswell

[smoky orbit]

there aren't review of it online?

[harsh adder]

theres barely any

[smoky orbit]

not really

[harsh adder]

alright ty for responding

[cosmic gazelle]

unfortunately my mobo reaaaaally doesn’t like 1/2/0 at 6400

it’ll do 1/2/1 tho

[pure garnet]

nitro is more cpu side

[cosmic gazelle]

oh

well either way 1/2/1 works and 1/2/0 doesn’t

[pure garnet]

everyone just kinda expects 1/3/1 so 1/2/1 is fine

[cosmic gazelle]

didn’t really seem to bring my latency down in aida

@spiral quarry how long can tires last in acc

I have a 2 hour race coming up

You must take at least 1liter in fuel in the pits

And that's it

[lunar comet]

I've read something earlier about preset L being for the ultra performance setting. Just a suggestion? I have a 4070S and a 1440p monitor and i usually set my dlss to balanced or quality.

[smoky orbit]

acc?

[smoky orbit]

depends on the wear and the track's condition

[low sorrel]

Asseto corsa competizone

[smoky orbit]

oh oki, I thought you meant irl, no idea for that game

[brisk jolt]

this is godlike summarization skill

[spiral quarry]

Yea same I each sim is different

Been more in Le Man Ultimate and the F1 games so strats are totally different for me.

[shell void]

yeah that’s just a suggestion because Preset L has the highest performance cost

and L works the best for lower resolutions

“Ultra Performance” on its own doesn’t really mean anything

[steel stream]

I think the ultra performance DLSS scale

[shell void]

what they mean is to use Preset L when rendering at 720p, AKA “Performance” on a 1440p monitor, or “Ultra Performance” on a 2160p monitor

the titles are meaningless on their own without knowing the monitor resolution

[steel stream]

Yeah fair enough

[shell void]

Nvidia recommends L for 720p, M for 1080p, and K for higher resolutions due to the higher performance costs of L and M

but L is usually the best at any render resolution

[brisk jolt]

lets go my friend just sent me 9 reels at 2am

[brisk jolt]

icl ive never tried anything other than M I just slapped it and called it a day

I find that any version of DLSS 4/4.5 anti aliasing just slaps TAA right in the balls with a critical hit anyway

[shell void]

i usually just set it to recommended in the nvidia app and use K because the smearing is less bothersome to me than the foliage artifacts and generally unnatural look of M and L to my eyes

[brisk jolt]

I care more about the lesser smearing than noticing foilage ngl

[shell void]

yeah M makes sense for you then

[vestal elbow]

Yup weird as fuck considering it's getting to be rare as fuck for m.2 slots on a mobo to do both sata and pcie nowadays

[shell void]

it’s the sharpest and least ghosty but also least stable, especially on foliage

[brisk jolt]

I dont nitpick small stuff since I actively play the games and move

if the image quality in general looks as good as native on the surface its already amazing

As for performance…. Im more CPU bottlenecked rn because of UE limitations

shit really loves cache and single threaded performance but FPS still tanks down to sub 80 in really heavy scenarios

[shell void]

what game?

[brisk jolt]

not to mention a single particular area is so heavy, it brings the fps to 80, same as a heavy combat scenario

wuthering waves, its a UE4 game that implemented lumen

[low sorrel]

Idk I just use this chart

[brisk jolt]

265K ran that same area and heavy combat scenario at like barely 60 FPS lmao

the dips were actually crazy

[shell void]

that’s exactly what i said in my message, but with added reasoning xD

20/30 K
40/50 L, but sometimes K

[shell void]

oh that looks like genshin graphics

[smoky orbit]

based

bowie knife is our god

[brisk jolt]

Similar artstyle base but feels to me way better, just a better game overall

but the CPU hit is just diabolical

[smoky orbit]

let's create a religion based around bowie knife

[brisk jolt]

also just got a cyberpunk collab

[lunar comet]

Its way more graphically intensive. Like genshin but with those raytracing mods.

[brisk jolt]

They pretty much recreated both collab characters in the game as a 1:1 and have NC in the update, but not sure if its true 1:1 NC map

[brisk jolt]

genshin looks cartoony as fuck

[lunar comet]

True plus wuwa combat is 100% better

[brisk jolt]

compare it to a 2D game and I cant tell the difference

[lunar comet]

How much of a performance impact do these models have?

[brisk jolt]

There was this one part in a quest where the area was full of water and the graphics were absolutely ham

Im not sure if you can even access that area post quest

[shell void]

it depends on the render resolution

[shell void]

you’re playing at 1440, presumably using dlss quality so 960p render resolution

[brisk jolt]

Its ashame they abandoned actually rendering a humongous mech in an ult animation in game because the mobile users and shit PCs would just entirely crumble

[shell void]

the overhead difference between K and L won’t be that severe, and L will look a lot better

[pure garnet]

tried batman on the steam deck and it doesn’t ever hit a playable framerate/not awful visuals ratio

[shell void]

tiny rdna2 doing its best

[lunar comet]

How about for M?

[shell void]

M is only slightly better performing than L, it’ll be a nothingburger difference at 960p on a 4070

Preset L handles low resolutions like 720/800/960p the best by far

[late atlas]

Love that

[shell void]

you can just try these out for yourself though dude

[lunar comet]

Yea fair.

[brisk jolt]

preset L vs 144p

[shell void]

i can only feed you my impressions so many times xD

[shell void]

77p

[smoky orbit]

12p gaming is were it's at rn

[brisk jolt]

still blows FSR3 out of the atlantic ocean

it aint safe in the deep blue sea

[shell void]

360p render resolution is totally viable with Preset L in a small handheld screen

but there are no nvidia gaming handhelds so meh

switch 2 doesn’t count it’s nintendont

[smoky orbit]

technically the switch 1 and 2 are

[lunar comet]

I used to play both back then. Now, im looking for decent aaa titles to pass the time instead grinding for sht in gacha games.

[smoky orbit]

and there's a prototype 3ds with an nvidia chip inside floating around iirc

[civic reef]

Been rocking Jim Halpert for three years, thought of changing to something new

[brisk jolt]

like 3 years and above

[smoky orbit]

should be fine

[civic reef]

Image is from the Steam page for 'The Bunny Graveyard II'

[shell void]

when the temps become noticeably worse and the higher fan speed annoys you

[lunar comet]

It should be out of warranty around august so ig ill wait for that to go past.

[shell void]

you probably won’t have to repaste unless you use the card for like 7+ years

[smoky orbit]

woah nicey

[lunar comet]

As of now it does well 60-75 during gaming and only peaks to 95 for a sec when loading oh wait thats my cpu lol mb.

Gpu temps are stable 60-50 range during gaming.

[civic reef]

Should I repaste my Voodoo 3?

[shell void]

give the thermal interface material a taste test and then decide

[brisk jolt]

with how much gigglebutt put in their cards this gen I dont think my aorus master needs to be repasted in its entire lifespan

[shell void]

yeah i’m never disassembling this card i don’t care

it’s a colossal mess

[steel stream]

Just sell it by the time it needs maintenance

[civic reef]

Wait question
A GPU should boot even if no power cables are inserted, right?

Since it's receiving 75W from the PCIe slot?

[smoky orbit]

not all of them

[civic reef]

Tastes thermally

[smoky orbit]

some of them will give you a hard no if the cables aren't plugged in

[civic reef]

Will try with this 5700 XT

[lunar comet]

I tried it with my 4070s and i get the vga light on the mobo so it requires the 12vhpwr cable to be inserted to boot.

[steel stream]

I’m going to say you will not be able to boot

[smoky orbit]

(tried this on a 3080, 6750xt, 7600, a770 (prototype tho), 1080, 980, 460, 650ti 2gb)

[brisk jolt]

nope

[civic reef]

None of them worked?

Also, yep, no boot
Though to be fair I wasn't getting any boot beforehand

[smoky orbit]

nope, all of them begged me for the power cable(s)

[civic reef]

I'll just leave it on for like 5-10 minutes and see if that does something

[smoky orbit]

wait, u're upgrading?

[civic reef]

Is the white low power light the equivalent of it begging

[lunar comet]

Iirc my good old beefy 1660S can boot without the 8pin connector.

[civic reef]

Nope, I am being nailed by a dying / dead B85M-ICafe

Upgrade is happening once I get a loan next week

[smoky orbit]

some of them had leds over the power connectors that would light up if the cable(s) weren't plugged in

[pallid marsh]

Being nailed aye

[civic reef]

Yeah mine does aswell, one per connector

[smoky orbit]

does it boot if there's no storage device? really dead storage blocked a lot of my systems from booting

[pure garnet]

hey if temps ever get bad just slosh it around and it’ll basically repaste itself

[civic reef]

With a bloody wood screw

[civic reef]

Nope, neither of the SATAs

Reseated the RAM beforehand, all 16 Gigglebytes

Checked power connections on the 24 & 8 (4) pin

6+2 + 6 have just been reconnected

[lunar comet]

Any new news on the 60 series cards or still too early to tell?

[smoky orbit]

ok, does your cpu have an igpu?

[smoky orbit]

too early ngl

[civic reef]

Yeah
No compatible cables for it though

The HDMI to VGA adapter was taken alongside the 1440x900p monitor

This board only has DVI & VGA

[shell void]

[smoky orbit]

ah, shoot, does it boot without the dgpu?

[civic reef]

No idea, no cables or adapters to see

[pure garnet]

i don’t think i’ll own the 5070ti long enough to need to repaste it

the heart yearns for a big gpu

[smoky orbit]

you should at least be able to check if caps lock and/or num lock works

[steel stream]

Same

[civic reef]

Good idea, one second

[lunar comet]

Ive read stuff saying there'll be something around Q4 2026 but i guess its looking more like around 2027 now like i was told before.

[civic reef]

Also, apparently DVI-D

Dual link

[fervent chasm]

dont you love it when you list something on eBay that is at a $680 bid and someone messages you asking if you can do $470

[civic reef]

I forgot how nice this Gigabyte 5700 XT Gaming OC looks

[smoky orbit]

Only thing I can find about eventual nvidia releases source: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/future-hardware-releases/

[civic reef]

Nope

[smoky orbit]

no date mentionned or anything

[smoky orbit]

might be a dead psu, cpu or mobo (also, does your power button works?)

[civic reef]

Previously I'd know just by the RGB on my keyboard being on or off but that's on an old one

[civic reef]

Most likely motherboard
Yeah, power button works

PSU has no real reason to die in terms of stress
It's running a 5700 XT and an i7 4770, and its first few months of life were on an i5 4460 without a GPU

CPU, GPU, and RAM are confirmed good

[smoky orbit]

power surge can cause damage to the psu

[civic reef]

Did tests on them with OCCT

[civic reef]

Been disconnected for a few days before I tried turning it on

[wraith steeple]

[smoky orbit]

oki, shouldn't be the issue

[civic reef]

My only interaction with it before this anomaly was removing the 1TB SATA and storing it in my laptop bag

[smoky orbit]

one of my teacher is literally deepthroting ai rn qwq

I'm gonna kms

[civic reef]

Returned before yesterday or yesterday
Plugged the drive in, nothing

[civic reef]

Oh my days
What're they doing </3

[placid blaze]

While we're on the subject of good PSUs, don't sleep on Super Flower

[wraith steeple]

Super flower my beloved

[smoky orbit]

saying llm are amazings and we should use it as much as we can and as often as we can

[smoky orbit]

they are good, yeah

and he uses it in his uni classes

(he's also studying in uni)

[civic reef]

Stoned and flogged with a hay whip

Anyway, case disassembly time

[smoky orbit]

should have been at least 48gb

[civic reef]

Removing the board, replacing the cooler with Intel stock

[smoky orbit]

you have another board around?

[civic reef]

Nope

[smoky orbit]

ohh oki, was confuzled

[civic reef]

Preparing it for sale

If it does end up working, just going to list it

[low sorrel]

ayo

[civic reef]

If the board doesn't work, it's off to the trash, CPU & RAM sold

[smoky orbit]

the board?

[smoky orbit]

yeah, he's taking it really deep rn it's too much

[civic reef]

Yeah
Discounted ofcourse

[smoky orbit]

wait, you're selling your old pc?

[civic reef]

If not working, I will harvest its organ (I/O, heatsink, etc)

[civic reef]

Just the CPU, board, and RAM

[smoky orbit]

ohh oki

[civic reef]

Board not if it doesn't work, as I said

Traces at the back look okay

[frank zealot]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1638375-i-delided-my-9850x3d-i-want-to-use-liqid-metal-but-have-some-questions/

Dude Delids his 9850X3D and then asks about if he should use liquid metal.

I swear to god, common sense is long dead

[low sorrel]

why would not liquid metal it when you delid it

[civic reef]

Pasty job @smoky orbit

[pure garnet]

i just used thermal paste to test it and never ordered lm so my grandma has thermal paste under her ihs

[pallid marsh]

Is it safe to use cooking oil in my car, I already drove 30 miles with it in

[cosmic gazelle]

yoko my latency on the 6400 tune has reached roughly the same number as the 4400 tune in aida

i feel like that means the 6400 tune is gonna perform better

[civic reef]

Pasty job @smoky orbit

[frank zealot]

you'd still have to conformal coat all the other bits, and it's a headache

[civic reef]

Bweh, delayed send

Also
Fucking backplate refuses to be removed 💔

Oh yay it finally consented to being removed

[cosmic gazelle]

bro has a motherboard that says internet cafe on it

[civic reef]

Thank MSI

I should try and harvest these two USB 3.0 ports from this

[smoky orbit]

hmmm yummy

[smoky orbit]

is that a thermalright cooler?

[low sorrel]

@steel stream @edgy laurel what are your thoughts on buying a car at auction

[edgy laurel]

entertaining to watch youtubers do it. thats about my whole opinion on the matter

[low sorrel]

police and goverment auction

[late atlas]

Do you want thermal paste, got 2 tubes you can snack on them if you want

[smoky orbit]

police not good, especially if it's impounded, gov might be a good gamble for a project car

[smoky orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/zhen-kung-fu-panda-4-eating-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-kung-fu-panda-4-gif-919207911235911622

[late atlas]

I'll bring you some

[pallid marsh]

Of government cars, or cars taken from criminals

[late atlas]

Thermal paste is so hard to get off your skin

[steel stream]

I’ve never done it, but I guess maybe you could get a good deal

[low sorrel]

yes

same site has both

[smoky orbit]

police cars will be ruffed up, more than gov cars

[pallid marsh]

Government cars are probably maintained well, but cars seized by them I doubt they will be

[smoky orbit]

97.64565% of the seized cars will be in atrocious conditions

[low sorrel]

so many suvs

and trucks

[civic reef]

No, unfortunately

Chipset

[smoky orbit]

oh oki, the mounting mechanism looked like my thermalright's one

[smoky orbit]

mmhhhmmm chips yummy

[civic reef]

Chipset heatsink

[civic reef]

It's from Gamdias, just a generic 120mm tower

[smoky orbit]

[civic reef]

Okay now I am bored

[low sorrel]

[pallid marsh]

You shouldn't get a 300+ HP car for your first vehicle that you will crash within 3 years of owing

[wraith steeple]

[low sorrel]

but for 500 bucks

[civic reef]

Oooo
Hynix & Micron in my chips

[low sorrel]

@smoky orbit can you buy this for me?

https://gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?snc=wfsav&sc=enc-bid&scn=586097&lcn=746207&lct=L&srchtype=&lci=&str=1&lotnf=1&frmsr=1&sf=ferm-clos&saleType=A

[pallid marsh]

But you can't fight the math

[low sorrel]

just don't go fast

[pallid marsh]

In the 305hp Police car?

[low sorrel]

yes

[civic reef]

@smoky orbit Don't know if this is what it means, but one of the black cubes that I think is a phase has 60 written on it, could that mean 60A?

[smoky orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/yuriyuri-lol-lmao-laughing-anime-gif-9214538

[late atlas]

I mean you can drive slow but most people drive fast when they have the opportunity to especially if their car is fast

[low sorrel]

oh it's not even fast

[late atlas]

There's always that one open road, or one late night you just

Floor it.

[low sorrel]

weighs like 100000 lbs

it's like .5s faster to 60 then a 2000s civic si

[low sorrel]

it's like 1 second faster to 0-60 then the toyota sienna and -1 slower then the 3 series and -2 seconds slower then the audi we have

[pallid marsh]

7.6 is fast for a child

[late atlas]

This is true

My first car was a Peugeot 107, mighty beast had about 80 hp

It only took like 20 seconds to reach 50 and then 30 more to reach 60 from 50

But it was good to learn on

[low sorrel]

i mean a base model corolla is that fast

@steel stream would you buy a car

that has suspension mods but not drivetrain mods

[steel stream]

I probs wouldn’t buy a modded car

[low sorrel]

yeah any car that's remotely fun is clapped out

even base model civics

ooo rsx type s for 6k unmodded

[pallid marsh]

Buy a grandma's old civic or camry

Or 3.8v6 buick

[low sorrel]

literally can't find a grandmas old civic

[pallid marsh]

buick then

[low sorrel]

12k

[pallid marsh]

Got to be the tanky 3.8 v6 tho
