[idle nexus]

the problem for me with EK is I've had multiple problems

(1) 3070 block, (2) 3080ti block, (3) Opaque coolant, (4) Inertia pump, & (5) Direct Die garbage

I just can't deal with it anymore

I refuse

I had to repipe my daily cuz my 8-month old Inertia pump failed & CPU temps melted the pipes

luckily my relativly inexpensive Barrow fittings didn't let go

[elfin mural]

I remember seeing that

[idle nexus]

ya it was really not fun

I should've used acrylic pipe honestly but it's so horrible to work with cuz it bursts into pieces unless you cut it slowly with a hack saw

btw that's how the brass pipe looks

still haven't decided if I hate it or not

this is what EK opaque coolant looked like in my CPU block after 3-4 months

both Vector blocks had "internal leaks"

which meant I got this awful condensation in areas of the block that were supposed to be dry

I just distilled water with some inhibitors now but back then it looked horrible with colored coolant

tbh I'm not sure if that counts as self-promotion or not ngl

like it's not being done for the sake of self-promotion but could objective be seen as self-promotion 🤔

[sinful blade]

I miss my vector

[idle nexus]

should I Just check it out in self-promotion to avoid any issues? lol

[elfin mural]

ya

best practice

[sinful blade]

Sold him for $400 tho

[elfin mural]

I want a 25w charger for my phone

[idle nexus]

is there still a channel for that. I'm having trouble finding it lol

[elfin mural]

Current one is 18w

There is #links-and-selfpromotion

[idle nexus]

#links-and-selfpromotion

ah thank you

haha

[elfin mural]

With the batt life I get, current charging speeds is a bit too slow

[idle nexus]

was making discord find it for me

[elfin mural]

aka 30 mins too slow

[idle nexus]

I thought my S23u was charging way too slow then finally realized fast charging is disabled by default lol

[elfin mural]

rip

I have to enable fast charging manually too for the first time on my S21fe

It defaults to 10w

I just wanna be able to utilize full 25w support tho

Just a lil over an hour to full charge

[idle nexus]

mine definitely charges way faster now

does the extra heat make your battery degrade quicker? I never actually researched it

do you enable the charge to 85% maximum mode thing for battery health?

[elfin mural]

Nah

I fast charge all day

The extra heat does have an impact on batt life however

How much I'm not sure

And I charge to full usually

Like around 15% I usually start plugging in

Or higher

[velvet summit]

My pi now has a hat

[idle nexus]

I know like the watches tell you if they're fully charged so you'll stop charging them. My dad loves to destroy batteries by leaving them on the charger at 100%

[velvet summit]

My PoE switch is at my dorm so I can't test the poe-ness of the hat

[wary fjord]

i thought its a food lol

hahaha

[velvet summit]

Rpi5 btw

[elfin mural]

I plug my phone in overnight

[idle nexus]

lol probably tastes terrible

[idle nexus]

ya same

[elfin mural]

It barely warms up tbh

Cuz samsung already trickle charges

[idle nexus]

I really dunno why chargers don't just shut off charging completely once it hits 100%. we have the technology lol

[idle nexus]

that's heckin cool. what do you do with it?

[elfin mural]

They trickle charge instead

Maintain 100% but not harming it

[idle nexus]

oh then maybe my dad doesn't destroy his phone batteries so bad after all

[elfin mural]

If you wanna be safe there's 85% option

[velvet summit]

Nothing currently

[idle nexus]

how much storage & memory do those usually have? I've wanted to try building one but never really knew what I'd use it for if I did

[velvet summit]

I bought the pi 5, didn't really have time to play around with it, and it sat in a box for 2 months until I bought a Poe hat for it

[rancid juniper]

finally, done with nfs 2015

[elfin mural]

Charging and using the phone at the same time is pretty damaging

[velvet summit]

This one has 4gb

[velvet summit]

Storage can be nvme or microsd

Or usb

[elfin mural]

My phone gets so hot when I tried gaming and charging

[velvet summit]

Idk if you can boot from usb though

[idle nexus]

ya I ran that on my Note before this when I first got it but missed that extra 15% after awhile

[elfin mural]

Never doing that again

[idle nexus]

I had my laptop set to only charge to like 50% or whatever "kiosk mode" is on Surface devices

[sinful blade]

Have you done nfs 0000-2014 yet? Didn’t think so smh

[velvet summit]

Actually iirc there was a firmware change that you can do to allow usb boot

Wait no that was pxe boot

[rancid juniper]

Did finish NFS the run, hot pursuit 2010, most wanted 2012, and rivals

[idle nexus]

I mean you can with like live ubuntu but I think all changes are lost after shutdown

[sinful blade]

I love most wanted

[idle nexus]

oh nvm I dunno about pi

[rancid juniper]

which one?

😳

[idle nexus]

I mean it's possible to live boot linux, not that I know you actually can on those

[sinful blade]

Remaster, the old version sucks butt

Source: I 100% it back on my 360

[rancid juniper]

based

tired of the stupid nfsmw 2005 stuff

[sinful blade]

If I still had that old 360, I think it would implode trying to run any game

[velvet summit]

Banana pi also has a case now
This one I've been trying to make into a print server for my old printers but it hasn't been cooperating

It only has 512mb ram lmao

[idle nexus]

do raspberry pi use like ARM CPUs?

[velvet summit]

Though more than enough

[elfin mural]

I like using samsung only because of the relatively long support tbh

[velvet summit]

Yeah

[idle nexus]

I think there's windows for ARM but I've never used it

[elfin mural]

This S21fe I got used just a few weeks ago

Or less? lol

[velvet summit]

Raspberry pi uses debian (or rather, armbian) by default

[elfin mural]

Overall good phone, toasty under load but it cools down fast as well

[velvet summit]

Or actually, technically it's raspbian

[elfin mural]

ya

[idle nexus]

but then

[velvet summit]

Armbian is for other pi installs

[velvet summit]

Like bananapi

[idle nexus]

will look rn

[velvet summit]

Or orangepi

[elfin mural]

windows for arm is compatible with a handful of arm socs

mostly snapdragon

[velvet summit]

Idk if you even would want windows on such a low power cpu

[elfin mural]

at least with native drivers

sd 835 is in the list lmao

[velvet summit]

I mainly use my pis in cli

[idle nexus]

you know it's really easy to frost tubes yourself right? I dunno how much more they charge for frosted but you just gotta sand regular tubing

[velvet summit]

Technically the pi 4 and 5 can handle gui fine but ehh

[idle nexus]

so could I dual boot my phone? lol

[elfin mural]

yes

you can

[velvet summit]

I wonder how much a small sandblaster would cost

[idle nexus]

I thought this looked really heckin nice but not really worth the price imo https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Hydro-Hardline-Satin-Tubing/dp/B089X23DL7/ref=sr_1_5?

it's like hard ZMT looking lol

[velvet summit]

25 for 3 tubes???

[idle nexus]

nice nice. I did mine with hard tubing but I don't recommend it lol

also now that I look at that amazon picture

what the heck is this? the pump?

[elfin mural]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-qualcomm-processors

curiosly there's no mention for sd 8 gen 2

there's only ones for sd 7

[idle nexus]

oh so this build is running a single rad for CPU & GPU? seems like it ought to have more lol

[proud jackal]

Why is it in the rear fan area

[idle nexus]

I'm kinda stupid with rads tho. My daily has 4

[wary fjord]

wow

[idle nexus]

I only put the external rad cuz I won it in a performance-pcs giveaway lol

I couldn't force anymore crap in there

dude this thing full of liquid has to be in the 70s lol

my Level 20 GT build was stupid heavy too

all that damn glass

Level 20 GT build has been decommissioned while I gather parts to do 7900x3d in there

If I could fit 4090 in the vertical slot, I'd put Z790 Apex/13900KS in there

[dusk knot]

HOLY

[proud jackal]

I have the apex non encore and the formula, I appreciate the apex a lot

uwu

[dusk knot]

Hahhaha

[elfin mural]

in this case it's both being silly

[random osprey]

@dusk knot mechs are in helldivers 2 now

[dusk knot]

LETS GOOOO

[dusk knot]

Is it a stratagem?

How much does it cost?

[random osprey]

the planet that the automatons took over was liberated in under 24 hours

[dusk knot]

W

Not the creak!!!

That's good

[random osprey]

ye, 20k to buy it. only 2 uses in-game and has a limited amount of ammo. cannot reload it to my knowledge

[dusk knot]

Only 2....come on

How long does it last?

[random osprey]

everyone right now has access to 1 though in any mission so you can have 3

[random osprey]

until you run out of ammo and you leave it or if you want to, can just sit in it until it breaks

[dusk knot]

Aaaah

Can't wait to try it out. Tell me how it is. @random osprey

[random osprey]

just did a mission with it but on level 3 difficulty. pretty good but havent tried it against harder enemies

of what ive seen though, you can kill a titan pretty quickly with it

[idle nexus]

I went with Taichi cuz I wanted to get one for 5900x back in the day but ended up with a B550 Master so had to redeem myself lol

plus I've never used an Asrock board so thought it might be fun to try it out

[dusk knot]

Only level 3.....ppft

Give me 7

That's what I usually do now

Or 8

Bugs

Damn automatons

8 is the death sentence

[idle nexus]

kinda sad 5900x went from

to

[random osprey]

7 is what i run with randoms, with my friends i run 9. wish i didnt run 9 though with my friends at times cause i tend to end up doing most of the objectives

[idle nexus]

but all good things must come to an end

which reminds me, 5900x MC server coming but TBA as to when

[dusk knot]

Love it

[idle nexus]

lol I kinda like it too tbh

my only gripe is the case is so small that I can't fit a not crappy GPU in it

at least from the ones I have

[dusk knot]

Whenever in the future I decide to build a build is going to have almost no RGB

[idle nexus]

so currently, it has a GTX960 Strix lol

that case came with a bunch of rgb fans

but I put P12/14s lol

when it's on the memory lights up. I don't really wanna break the LEDs off the PCB to stop it

[dusk knot]

Want to play some time?

[random osprey]

2 more things to buy in the premium warbonds and ill have bought everything

i need the new weapons already

[idle nexus]

what game?

[random osprey]

helldivers 2

[idle nexus]

Cyberpunk got old

Storfield is trash

[dusk knot]

Best game

[idle nexus]

I saw Jacob playing that on MiredMedia

[random osprey]

should be able to find me, my name is Pro Fisherman Gamer

[idle nexus]

seemed alright but kinda repetitive

I'd say I'm not used to 3d person shooting but Resident Evil so nvm

[random osprey]

or statikvortex. steam kinda wacky at times with looking for peoples names

[dusk knot]

Thanks, wolf

[idle nexus]

anyone play PalWorld?

I downloaded it from GP but haven't tried it yet

[random osprey]

the old star wars battlefront games coming to steam and they really charging $35 for them

$31.51 rn

"pre-purchase promotion"

[dusk knot]

Greed

[idle nexus]

sounds like a Disney thing to do

[random osprey]

not owned by disney

the old ones

[idle nexus]

oh heck I didn't know that

I used to play Battlefront 2 many moons ago

[random osprey]

star wars battlefront 3 fell through because of disney and then we got the battlefront 1 and 2 that ea gave us 😔

they were gonna introduce seemless combat of ground to space battles

[idle nexus]

that would be heckin cool

I might have to hit that up

so no go on Palworld? lol

[random osprey]

i dont play it. played it with my friends for like 40 minutes and got off

[idle nexus]

it's like Pokemon + guns I guess?

I guess I should just try it & see lol

[random osprey]

ark survival + pokemon

and guns

[idle nexus]

kinda on the fence whether that's good or bad lol

sucks Fallout76 isn't single player without online thing

anything older than Fallout4 looks ancient

I started playing New Vegas but it looks like 3dmark01 or something

wait, there's a Saw video game?

lol oh from 2009

[sinful blade]

Have you been enjoying it

I can send you my mod pack if you wanna have a lot of fun

[gritty forge]

so fellas

do you know why this happens?

[random osprey]

Anybody here part of the OLED main monitor master race? I have a question thats been bothering me

[random osprey]

jp is i think

[sinful blade]

@dusk knot time to kill chat

[dusk knot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/727195359851315230.gif?v=1

[fair onyx]

I just got my new QD OLED

I had a QD OLED before

[dusk knot]

Yesssss

[fair onyx]

this new one has weird severe local dimming zone like artifacts. My AMOLED laptop has them too and IDK what causes it , nor how to fix it

[dusk knot]

Wh

[fair onyx]

my previous one doesn't have it (same panel)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/696818922158293086/1215837530629476362/20240308_174350.mp4?ex=65fe33f0&is=65ebbef0&hm=6a88f41d732eb8a023c019fad42e907cca317c0aa43ebf9d48fd64193673fabd&

Its as bad if not worse on my laptop which has an AMOLED display

I have 0 clue what it is, but it drives me CRAZY

[dusk knot]

I don't know if it's the video camera but is that like a bar like local dimming issue?

[fair onyx]

yeah, it looks like local dimming zones on a mini LED. I first saw it on my AMOLED laptop, but its on this monitor too. Its soooo distracting

[dusk knot]

Oh crap

Maybe pixel cleaning might get rid of it? @fair onyx

Have you done any refreshes lately?

[remote geode]

is a 32GB set of Trident Z ram for $90 expensive

[fair onyx]

you can see my AMOLED monitor does it as well

[fair onyx]

this panel has 20 minutes of use

my laptop has like 10 hours

This monitor has the exact same panel as my previous monitor, and it didn't have this issue

[somber skiff]

Encore is

White apex master race

[dusk knot]

Oh. I would wait a few hours when you get a prompt that tells you it's time to "clean" the screen or balancing the voltage across all the pixels.

[fair onyx]

Its def not that, its like a local contrast thing

[dusk knot]

Weird....

[velvet summit]

also happens to me but it honestly feels like it only ever happens on EG launcher

steam never does it to me

might just be an epic games thing

[gritty forge]

it also happens in steam to me

but its like a launcher thing

[dusk knot]

Well for one, OLED tech does not have local dimming, each pixel is self-emissive. Wait for the clean 🫧 @fair onyx

[dusk knot]

No u

I'm helping here 😡

[dusk knot]

@fair onyx what do you have exactly again?

[fair onyx]

Ok, I fixed it on my monitor

its the movie preset

[remote geode]

meow

[remote geode]

I need to watch Dune 2 again

[sinful blade]

I’ve yet to watch any dune

The last movie I watched was Michael Jackson’s promotional movie for his bad album

[remote geode]

sadly the one they have on my preferred medium of consumption is still "cam quality"

and I can't be bothered to go to a theatre again

[dusk knot]

AHA. I was going to say that it was setting .@fair onyx

[fair onyx]

Ok, so it gives me hope I can fix it on my laptop, cause it drives me NUTS

[proud jackal]

IS IT SAFE TO BUY OLED YET

[sinful blade]

YES

[fair onyx]

I bought both this monitor and my laptop specificaly cause they have exceptionally incredible displays

oops

I forgot what sever I was in 😅

And this weird dimming contrast thing messes it up

[fair onyx]

time to fix it on my laptop

[remote geode]

I wanna buy a second hand OLED Display

XD

[sinful blade]

Give me your first ty

I’ll have a setup purely based on asking people to send me their second hand things someday

[remote geode]

I have a second hand phone

my Samsung Note 20

and a second hand processor

my 11600k

and my GPU is also second hand as well

[sinful blade]

I currently have my Xbox one s and a monitor

Theo and his 5-6k pc

It's soo nice 😢

[remote geode]

XD

[dusk knot]

I don't think it's a good idea

[fair onyx]

@dusk knotI found the setting that makes that weird halo effect on my QD OLED

Its the black level raiser when its set to "AI"

[remote geode]

Why?

[dusk knot]

AI

[dusk knot]

Hours

[remote geode]

Does it affect oled displays more than IPS ones?

[dusk knot]

Yes

[fair onyx]

I guess it raises the brightness of everything, but keeps it lower near super bright objects to stop it from blowing out

[dusk knot]

I have 1300hrs on my monitor and it's just fine

But who knows how long they last

[dusk knot]

Just keep it on gamer 1 or whatever💀

Don't be like Kenzie

[fair onyx]

I turned it off as a whole. I bought this monitor for color sensitive work

[dusk knot]

Nice nice

It's going to excel for sure

Feels good (they are actively forcing you to pay significantly more for the same stuff as other fast food)
Like, I don’t wanna pay 4.39 for a large fry
I can go to a restaurant like five guys and do that and get much more

Wanna know a really garbage thing they pull?

[idle nexus]

how do I make this better? I tried lmao

[mortal grail]

That's already good af wtf

Toning

Add shadows

[sinful blade]

Basket of fries? You know, those things you pay like $6+ for?

Just two mediums. That’s it. Not even two larges. You actively pay for a medium twice.

ah okay so I guess west coast must be closer or something

[mortal grail]

Oh wow why is it 22h

That's absurdly long

Oh stopover that's why

Stopover is like minimum +3h

Maybe less for a small* airport

[idle nexus]

lol I guess Dallas to Miami is another 4

[mortal grail]

Oh man

There would be a LOT of people doing that flight too

[idle nexus]

that sounds miserable holy crap

[mortal grail]

Think the second longest is Perth to London iirc

[idle nexus]

Miami to Japan was like 16 or something I forget

felt like eternity

I hope your TV and sound system can compensate for a lack of a safe movie theater.

[tranquil pebble]

listening to Windows 9x midi files rn because why not

[chrome mirage]

I have a cheap TCL TV and I just wear studio headphones

It has quantum dots and local dimming zones though so it looks pretty good.

If I want to use speakers I use a 90s Sony stereo that I have hooked up to my PC.

[mortal grail]

is that the one Fal recommends? It's really good

[chrome mirage]

I don't know. It's was $500 Canadian and the picture quality is really good other then when it's a full white screen some parts look yellow

[mortal grail]

there's a really good TCL he likes to recommend

I believe it's like some $600 usd qled

65"

it's probably not the one you're talking about tho

reviews excellently

TCL has some nice qleds for a budget at that tbh

[chrome mirage]

I have the 50 inch 5 series which is darker and has less local dimming zones than the 6 series but it has a better contrast ratio for some reason

I'm in a basement so I don't need a bright tv anyways

[mortal grail]

true that

watching hdr1000 in the dark sometimes

it's way too bright

overwhelming for the eyes without proper ambience

[wispy knot]

This one open box is good https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-65-class-q7-q-class-qled-4k-hdr-smart-tv-with-google-tv/6538137.p?skuId=6538137

Previous recommendation was the 65R646 when it was on clearance, but that's an old model now and no reliable stock

[elfin mural]

what is q class

marketing buzzwords

[wispy knot]

Most TV specs are buzz words

They go hand in hand with the technicalities

The review, for the skeptics https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/q7-q750g-qled

[elfin mural]

i hate the marketing of displays

ips laptop?

no no, ips class

[chrome mirage]

My dad has been looking at OLED tvs and my mom keeps sending me screenshots of QLED tvs because the marketing is confusing to her.

[elfin mural]

qled can be nice or meh

[chrome mirage]

I hate that they call them QLED though because people who don't know what it is just think it's the same as OLED.

My QLED tv is pretty good but my dad and I want a nice OLED tv for watching movies in a dark basement

is trident z ram good

[mortal grail]

arguably the heatsinks are actually heat traps and they have a tendency to delid themselves if you remove them while warm

sometimes delid without you touching them 💀

[remote geode]

oh :(

[mortal grail]

so my personal take is no

[elfin mural]

auto delid

[mortal grail]

I would say teamgroup delta is better quality

[elfin mural]

perfect ram for modding

i just ordered 32gbs of them with a $20 discount voucher applied

i did get a $20 discount voucher

is it good on DDR5?

[mortal grail]

how much were they all up

[elfin mural]

trident z5 is different

i don't think it's the same

[mortal grail]

better but still inherently has the same issues

[remote geode]

hm?

wdym

[mortal grail]

the ones you bought

[remote geode]

it's still being shipped

the discounted price is like 4299 php

[mortal grail]

that-

might actually be an ok price

considering your locality

[remote geode]

apparently these discount vouchers are entirely being subsidised by the platform

if you like how they look they should be fine

but in shopee its 2700 and you can put on a 300 peso discount voucher too

back when i checked it 6 months ago

[mortal grail]

[elfin mural]

i shop in shopee for these reasons

lazada sometimes

[remote geode]

lazada is a bit too stingy on discount lah

[elfin mural]

they have more common free shipping, but less good coupons

[mortal grail]

@devout forum any cheaper ones?

say

t-create 5600 cl46

TG delta 6000+ <CL32

[devout forum]

Patriot 32GB Viper Venom DDR5 6400MHz CL32 KIT (PVV532G640C32K) for 50k HUF

ah nothing cheaper then?

[devout forum]

these are the 6400 ones

but the 6000 ones are BARELY cheaper

[mortal grail]

any cheaper still that are <CL32?

or 5600 CL46 t-creates?

[mortal grail]

sadge

Patriot looks based

[devout forum]

these are the CL40 6000s

the meh stuff

[mortal grail]

yeah meh

5600 CL46 t-creates would beat all of these if cheaper

guaranteed hynix set

[devout forum]

I don't think T-Create even exists here

[mortal grail]

sadge

My vote for the patriots then

If you like the adata's then they're nice af

[devout forum]

I do like them a lot

it lights up too which I think looks really cool

one of those nice bonus things

[mortal grail]

they are really nice tbh

I had a set early on

there's not really an improvement from axp120 lol

you could fan swap tho

[granite estuary]

What noise is associated with a failing water pump

[atomic current]

noise

[granite estuary]

And would that noise only be present when I’m not in a game

[atomic current]

coming from the pump section

[granite estuary]

When in playing games my pc is completely silent

But then I go onto the browser or something and it buzzes like crazy

[atomic current]

if a pump is failing it would be failing when you play games too

[granite estuary]

Hmm

I wonder then

It’s very annoying

[elfin mural]

that's a coil whine

[granite estuary]

It doesn’t sound coil whiny though it’s kind of crunchy lol

[pliant berry]

I have seen some fans that either have coil whine or are misaligned to make annoying sounds at certain RPMs

[granite estuary]

It changes pitches every day

I think something is failing because my pc has been stuttering lately

I’m gonna test some things out when I get home

[exotic ingot]

Y'all wanna know the secrets to get good deals on PC hardware

[pliant berry]

one in particular I remember was a gpu that had a slightly wobbly fan so when it was sitting upright at certain rpm it would hit the gpu shroud slightly

[next knoll]

yes

[granite estuary]

Ah okay thanks

4 month old pc so it shouldn’t be running weird

[pliant berry]

wow that was a quick response xD

[next knoll]

yeah dropshipping

[granite estuary]

Occasionally and I mean very rarely the whole pc just freezes I can hear everything but I can’t do anything lol

[tranquil pebble]

Random thought I just had: HL2 themed katana that looks partly like a crowbar

[pliant berry]

oh yeah one of the companies I work at was upgrading all of their office pcs. wonder what they are doing with the old ones

[exotic ingot]

Yep

[next knoll]

where at

[exotic ingot]

Lol

[elfin mural]

liquidate em i think

and put on auctions

[exotic ingot]

At my local university

[granite estuary]

I do not want the pcs at my university lol

[atomic current]

I'll drop your shipping in a minute

[granite estuary]

We’re running like 15 year old pcs they barely run

[next knoll]

sure bulk seller?

[mighty hazel]

Celeron moment

[granite estuary]

Unless it’s the brand new alien wares they just wasted money on

[pliant berry]

universities and other business ocassionally liquidate all of their old stock. good time to find hardware or equipment

[granite estuary]

My university overpaid for 30 alienwares

[elfin mural]

sometimes they have odd and cool stuff

[granite estuary]

For our “esports team”

lol

[pliant berry]

they all overpay because they want all the extra customer support and warranties so they don't have to worry about replacing them

[elfin mural]

and once the contract expires

they liquidate em

[granite estuary]

Yeah that’s fair

How could I trouble shoot my pc later for possible reasons of the whine / freezing

[pliant berry]

so instead of having to troubleshoot themselves wasting time they just make a phone call "hey pc no worky make it worky"

[granite estuary]

😂

[exotic ingot]

Mostly looking at i7 4790 dell optiplex, a couple i7 6700 precision desktops, and there's two i7 8700 Lenovo desktops

I wish my uni put money into other things and not esports lol

Because our team gets last in everything

[pliant berry]

do you have any idea about how much they are going for?

[mighty hazel]

Are people that play, that good?

[granite estuary]

Valorant no problem last

[granite estuary]

Not at my school 💀

[atomic current]

competitive video game playing hardly seems fun anyway

[granite estuary]

I think the highest ranked player on let’s say valorant is diamond

[mighty hazel]

Cuz like I got pretty fast reflexes but never really tried esports. Didn’t even have good or even decent hardware for the longest time

[pliant berry]

I mean there are only so many possibilities. You can start by running hardware scanners to get info while you game and look for any patterns when it freezes

[granite estuary]

I used to play competitive overwatch for the longest time

Sad I know

[granite estuary]

Okay thanks

[tranquil pebble]

I still need to get something to put my katana on

[pliant berry]

i go watch anime now

[mighty hazel]

Nah I played that game a lot, it’s pretty good

[granite estuary]

Not anymore it’s not

[mighty hazel]

Why not

[tranquil pebble]

I prefer playing them

[granite estuary]

I guess it’s okay I don’t really have a reason not to like it

[pliant berry]

0_0

[granite estuary]

Other than they don’t know how to balance certain heroes

(Orisa)

[tranquil pebble]

Games like Persona are literally anime games

[mighty hazel]

My only problem with it is 5v5

[pliant berry]

After the mauga incident I have decided to never look at overwatch again

[granite estuary]

You don’t like 5v5?

[mighty hazel]

Barely anyone plays him anymore

[granite estuary]

Way better than 6v6

[pliant berry]

yeah I played like an hour of p5

[tranquil pebble]

After Overwatch 2 dropped, I decided to never look at it again

[pliant berry]

was interesting

[granite estuary]

Personally

[mighty hazel]

I mean it’s alright but 6v6 was better

[granite estuary]

I’m a dps player and 6v6 was horrible for dps

[mighty hazel]

Like even this season where they were meant to balance the hero’s. Tank is the worst off

[granite estuary]

Literally shooting a shield the entire game 😂

[mighty hazel]

The hero’s were made for 6v6

Ah

[tranquil pebble]

the art style, level design, music, and elements of Japanese culture all pulled me in to that series

[granite estuary]

When it wasn’t double shield meta

[mighty hazel]

Yeah I remember it being chaotic

[granite estuary]

6v6 was good until double shield meta

And GOATS

[mighty hazel]

But they only got to the shield thing when they left the game for like 3 years

[granite estuary]

So many overwatch league players quit due to goats

[mighty hazel]

Idk what goats was tho, I didn’t really pay attention to videos and things of the game at the time

I just played it

[granite estuary]

3 tanks 3 supports

[pliant berry]

Im just not really a turn based person. but might give a chance again sometime

[mighty hazel]

I mean that can happen in like open queue

[granite estuary]

Yeah but role queue wasn’t always a thing

[mighty hazel]

I remember we did 6 hammonds vs 6 reinhardts 💀

[granite estuary]

Before it was released it was only open queue

[granite estuary]

Im so confused rn

how come at 99% usage and 77c the air coming out of my pc feels cool but playing roblox which uses less than half my gpu and at a much lower temp the air is warm

[elfin mural]

probably slower fans

so air is trapped inside longer

[pliant berry]

well under high load the fans spin faster and the faster moving air can give the illusion that it is cooler as it is trying to dissipate the heat faster
