24k is just 24 for u know

2 digit for rich people

[devout forum]

Yeah that's the thing

Rich people do it to show off how quirky and trendy they are

There's a gigantic mansion or two waiting for then when they inevitably realize that living in a van freaking sucks more than a Dyson

[nocturne flicker]

They charge £50k+ and you provide the vehicle

[wary fjord]

is the furniture built in on those car?

Oh yeah it is

it could be cheaper if u can do DIY

[devout forum]

But it's not gonna be luxury

Y'know
The most important part of living in a van is the luxury!

[north crescent]

Maybe. Once you're rich it can become incredible easy for life to become very boring, so you try to do whack stuff for fun. I know someone who comes from a rich family, he thought of it as not the funniest of experiences.

[devout forum]

Such hypocrites

I'm getting agitated, Jesus

[wary fjord]

Don't forget, that the roughly £18k they spent on their personal conversion also probably includes the vehicle price too

people that invest on btc at 2009

pff 24k is nothing

[devout forum]

I mean yeah

If I had any money I would've tried

But obviously being an amazing investor and making millions starts with having billions on your account

[nocturne flicker]

Even if I had plenty of money I wouldn't spend it on that. I'd spend it on a small home, the stuff I need to live and just keep the rest invested to live off the dividends

[north crescent]

Being a good investor is just playing the long game and not attempt day trading. Basically thinking of it as a savings bank account

[wary fjord]

buy houses and rent it for others xD i think thats profitable

if they dint those money will go to charity

[devout forum]

Tbf if I had a lot of money

Like 5 million USD

I'd get a bunch of stuff

[nocturne flicker]

I am not going to have children, so it'd be split between select charities and my sister

And 400k on cars

The rest is going for retirement

Nah, I killed them all

THAT'S JUST A JOKE

I really should sleep

I lose my filter when I'm tired

[nocturne flicker]

Spend half that on a home and the way housing is going in this country the home'll be worth 1m in a decade

[worthy meteor]

It's going to be 1000 square foot of virtual space, all you really own is a pod that only fits you

[nocturne flicker]

1000 square feet in the Metaverse

[devout forum]

Own? What does that mean?

Wait u have ryzen 7000

U direct die a 7000?

not quite yet but almost lmao

I only seen that stuff for intel xd

Most of the time

[idle nexus]

it's a thing flol

5000 direct die wasn't really a thing tho

nice

my idea to help center the waterblock appears to work

now I hope the retainer screws can sit low enough to keep good contact

or I gotta take those back off lol

nvm they should be fine

forgot they're like spring loaded

[velvet summit]

Only moderately jank

[sour falcon]

jank is good

[idle nexus]

indications aren't looking good as of now

finally got it started & CPU temps tend to indicate poor contact

hmm not entirely sure actually

just ran 7-zip benchmark & CCD2 hit 70.4 & CCD1 hit 56.4C

[obsidian prawn]

Something like what??

[idle nexus]

effective clocks ranged between 4893-5361mhz

guess I'll run R20 & see where temps go

CCD2 hit throttle whereas CCD1 hasn't exceeded 60C

I'm either mounted uneven or didn't put enough TIM on one die

but otherwise, this is fairly promising

[tranquil pebble]

I wonder how many video game enemies have been killed by players in total.

[tranquil pebble]

read that as COD2 and COD1 at first ngl

[tranquil pebble]

I still find it weird that mspaint can do transparency now

[idle nexus]

ig technically it's CCD0 & CCD1

but non-v-cache CCCD runs to TJ (I think that's normal Zen 4 behavior tho no?)

[velvet summit]

[tranquil pebble]

idk, I only have Zen 2 still

[idle nexus]

well luckily AM4 offers 85 CPUs to choose from lol

[tranquil pebble]

it is so cursed that AM4 has Excavator CPUs

[craggy shoal]

oh no

I was gone for the weekend bruh

What did AMD do now?

Excavator CPUs on AM4? What did I miss? (or is this just old news that I somehow didn't here?)

[idle nexus]

lol I dunno but they're still releasing AM4 CPUs

bro

this is why you always gotta check AI's homework

[tranquil pebble]

ancient news

AMD Athlon X4 970 is AM4... Excavator too lol

[craggy shoal]

gotcha lol

[tranquil pebble]

AMD A6-9500E is also AM4... and is dual-core, 2 threads...

and due to the architecture for some workloads it might as well be single core

[idle nexus]

lol that's not bad for like, windows 95

[tranquil pebble]

Very very cursed

[tranquil pebble]

its actually way too fast for Windows 95

[wooden marten]

proper amount of thermal paste

[tranquil pebble]

The clock speed alone would cause problems

[idle nexus]

I remember my first computer was like single core 300mhz

[tranquil pebble]

mine was 233 MHz... Cyrix MII

I still have it

it was used when I got it and already old... I was using that until ~2004

[idle nexus]

damn I don't get why my core temps are like 25C but CPU Die average is 50.4C rn

[tranquil pebble]

and if Windows 98 cant handle > 2.1 GHz... neither can 95

[idle nexus]

lol I remember getting a new computer that had WindowsME

so garbage

[tranquil pebble]

Malfunction Edition

should have never existed...

Windows 2000 having a home edition would have been better by far

at least they corrected that with the release of XP

Windows ME is the one version of Windows I absolutely see no reason at all to have existed lol

[rancid juniper]

[tranquil pebble]

40 CU iGPU... BRUH

that's going to be so memory starved lol

[rancid juniper]

i...need...more... speed...

[tranquil pebble]

Strix Halo will want as fast of RAM as you can give it I bet

[rancid juniper]

pretty much this

[tranquil pebble]

AMD be like: lets put a fullsize GPU into a CPU

[ancient swift]

Going by how 780m performs with 7400mhz ram, it'll be fine.

[rancid juniper]

i doubt DDR5 8000+ would be cheap around 2025

[rancid juniper]

imagine if it was actually fat

😂

[tranquil pebble]

slot CPU comeback? /j

[tranquil pebble]

yeah it definitely will be... but it will also benefit a lot from faster RAM I'd think

[rancid juniper]

honestly ram aside, im very happy to see igpus getting this much power

[tranquil pebble]

yeah its good

[rancid juniper]

remember years ago it could barely run games at like 720p

heck even 480p

[tranquil pebble]

Consoles have had powerhouse iGPUs for a long time... about time for PCs to get em too.

[rancid juniper]

^^^

for sure

it wouldn't be far until we see an apu at 1080ti levels of performance (given the right ram speed ofc)

[ancient swift]

I think it'll be diminishing returns over 7400mhz.

[tranquil pebble]

especially on cost lol

also this is cursed

[ancient swift]

If the RDNA4 40 CU's is in a good position I'd be surprised if it wasn't close. Thats twice the CU's of the Xbox Series S with an improved architecture.
And thats like a 1060 conditionally.

[rancid juniper]

whoa

thats stronk

[ancient swift]

I'd expect at least 1080 from it.

wait all the movies are made by the same studio?

I'm rewatching shin godzilla rn and bro

this cgi

😭

Doesn’t have to be. They just need permission from the copyright holder

[surreal kernel]

ohh

no but I'm talking like all the other movies

mecha godzilla

and whtvr

[pliant berry]

Apparently Toho Co holds the name

[surreal kernel]

they don't compare to this😭

[surreal kernel]

ah alr

[pliant berry]

I feel like the godzilla movies are all over the place

[surreal kernel]

idk if you have ever seen shin godzilla

[surreal kernel]

I've only seen like 2

the newest one

and mechagodzilla

[pliant berry]

I can’t remember which ive seen

[surreal kernel]

there is also that one with ghidora

but the cgi here is horrible

probbaly low budget

[random osprey]

shin godzilla?

8.5mil usd

in todays money

[surreal kernel]

whoever made this movie should b punished

godzilla x kong was 135 million?

no wonder

where tf did they find 135 million from

[random osprey]

well, shin godzilla is from a japanese studio and godzilla x kong is from a US studio

[surreal kernel]

it's so poorly made tho 😭

[nocturne flicker]

If it is US it is automatically going to be M/D/Y, that is how we do our dates here

[narrow meteor]

okay thanks

it just seemed a little weird being so soon (like tomorrow)

[nocturne flicker]

I would think it arriving in four months would be weirder

[narrow meteor]

well it is on backorder

so

that's what i thought

very good deal for a 750

[nocturne flicker]

Are you talking about the ETA Date? Iirc, that is just an estimated date for when they'll get the item in and they'll actually charge for and ship the order then.

Otherwise it's not loud enough probably duo regulations

okay there

[cedar compass]

There's region settings . Go to settings and search region

And I'd activate developer options and set Ldac audio codec as default

Otherwise maybe you using aac codec which is lower quality codec

[copper fable]

Yeah I do use AAC bit LDAC is blank

[cedar compass]

[copper fable]

Can't that be due to my settings on the app?

I think it's not in priority sound

Okay now it's on LDAC

But I'm not sure that's gonna fix it

[cedar compass]

Go to Bluetooth settings and Activate hd audio under connected device . Then ldac will be available

[cedar compass]

Changing region is best fix

[copper fable]

Now it's louder but still not as loud

[copper fable]

But how can I change the region? Wouldn't it require changing the timezone?

[cedar compass]

No it's different things . I set my phone's region macao and chilling with loud as hell sound

Both on S21 Fe and Xiaomi 12t pro changing region fixing issue

[copper fable]

So how do I do that too 😭😭

[velvet summit]

damn how loud do yall need your audio 💀

my headphones are always at like 10% and it's loud enough

[copper fable]

Believe me it's annoying

[cedar compass]

Search for region at settings lol

[copper fable]

There is no region option other than the Samsung account one

[cedar compass]

Assuming you got international version of phone

[cedar compass]

Go to time settings, turn off automatic time zone , then click to time zone . You'll see region and time zone separately

Set region to macao and time zone to your time zone

[copper fable]

Lolo

Only problem is that I only have one timezone in my country

I'll have to change the timezone itself 😭

In order to choose a region

[craggy shoal]

changing region sounds weird for making headphones louder

couldn't it just be a firmware update? idk if Sony headphones have an app, but my Sennheisers (Bluetooth) use an app and I had to update the firmware before using them

actually I don't think I HAD to update them, but I preferred to

[copper fable]

I already installed the latest firmware update though it got stuck at 100%

[cedar compass]

International versions have settings for every country and their regulations. Changing region making some changing on phone itself including max volume

[craggy shoal]

that's odd

[copper fable]

For me what I hear sounds like 70%

And it's on 150 (apparently there is more than 100)

[velvet summit]

idk about max volume regulations, at least not in north america, i dont think those really exist as far as i can tell
but depending on the country, the bands allocated for wifi and celluar are different

[cedar compass]

Phones never being set to max volume in bios . I used to set volume in chipset settings

[copper fable]

Only I have a temporary solution

[cedar compass]

Then I realized that region thing

[copper fable]

Which is to add more gain using RootlessJamesDSP

But there are some lags here and there

[velvet summit]

im genuinly confused and concerned that max volume isnt enough volume on headphones

i have never seen anyone need to use more than 60% volume on headphones, which already are way too loud and can be heard from several meters away

(faintly)

[copper fable]

Well by the way

[craggy shoal]

okay but apparently XM5 headphones are naturally quieter than AirPods lol

so it's a genuine problem. not a preference thing

[copper fable]

I just noticed that in my airpods pro 2, it used to show the volume bar in orange once it got to 120 % and higher

And with teh XM5 it doesn't get orange

Unless I wait for it to disappear and then volume up and then then it's orange

Not sure if that means anything 🤷‍♂️

[copper fable]

Oh

[tranquil pebble]

depends on the headphones and the sound card

[craggy shoal]

I've also only read a single Reddit thread with someone else complaining about this

[velvet summit]

i mean, it's bluetooth headphones

[copper fable]

So I literally paid for more of a better quality sound but a quieter one

[cedar compass]

it depends on headphones actually. Some headphones with big driver is power hungry and default volume isn't enough. Especially if you living in loud cities

[velvet summit]

me at 16% on my headphones and it already being more than loud enough 💀

[copper fable]

Should I try and use the warranty then?

[velvet summit]

i think you need more noise isolation rather than increasing the volume in that case

for the loud cities part

[cedar compass]

I mean default volume on Xiaomi phones are pretty low in US . It's like 60% of actual max volume lol . Changing region and getting loud as hell

[cedar compass]

ANC is great but still I'm unhappy with default volume

[velvet summit]

anc isnt noise isolation

[craggy shoal]

I wish they made more audiophile-grade over-ear ANC headphones

[velvet summit]

it's just a solution to something that could have been fixed with something passive

[cedar compass]

City is much louder without ANC . Especially busses making a lot of low frequency noise and without ANC it's hard to enjoy music actually

Imagine living in city with 85db noise around

[velvet summit]

so your solution is to make it even louder
that's just terrible for your ears lmao

also what the hell kinda city you in for it to be 85db sustained 💀

85db is like, factory next to machinery level of loudness

or actually, that might have been 95db

i forget

85db is still pretty damn loud though lmao

[mortal grail]

85dB is like you live in an earthquake bro

[cedar compass]

I mean I living away from city now. But in my homeland , regular noise level was like 65-70db in a day . And you exposing over 85db voice at traffic , subways etc . And some cities are louder . That's why everyone maxing volume on headphones lol . Otherwise you can't hear music

[mortal grail]

Sitting in the same room as a blender daily

💀

[cedar compass]

I'm glad I living in silent place now.

I think US doesn't have that loud city around

[viral heron]

I think you might've been the person who suggested the tripplite isobar, I was gonna go with that but couldn't find the wattage on it. So many terms I don't understand it's frustrating 😭 then I saw something it has to be like 30ft away from all other electronics or something crazy

[wary fjord]

hmm the game only runs 60fps but intel struggle to run it without crushing?

i dont know how to unlock fps on tekken xD

its lock 60 on me

[devout forum]

I definitely never recommended anything Tripplite

I mentioned the APC SurgeArrest

[rancid juniper]

perfect stress tests

[viral heron]

Oh yeah sorry

[rancid juniper]

if only the fps was unlocked

i never had an issue with tekken 8 demo on my 13600k

[devout forum]

I like the SurgeArrest because it goes directly into the wall and you can plug any power strip into it

and it becomes a really well protected power bar

[viral heron]

I was taking to someone about it and they said it wouldn't do much cuz it's only 330 joules or something similar whatever that means

Also idrc for a UPS, from my understanding it's just protects like the OS from corruption and you can save your work etc before it shuts off. I just don't want the actual components itself to be bricked

[wary fjord]

its been 3 days xD bruh

buy it as insurance

thats all it is

[viral heron]

Ik 😭😭😭

[mortal grail]

tmw the architecture was impromptu refreshed like everyone thought and there's no such thing as better silicon

[viral heron]

I also need to plug in a window ac unit and no idea if that can be on at the same time

[wary fjord]

no dont plug window ac on ups

xD

[viral heron]

Nah not into the surge protector just like on the same circuit breaker on the wall. Pretty sure my entire room is on the same breaker

[wary fjord]

u gonna pop that little thing out of its missery.. thats such load

ok ok

each room has its own breaker seems nice sometimes but hell when u renovate ur house

[viral heron]

I'm pretty sure with the pc/monitors, ac, and dehumidifier it's way too much power being drawn in.

[wary fjord]

depends

ur pc probably only eats 350-650w

dehumidifier 120w?

[viral heron]

1sec

[wary fjord]

Dehumidifier wattage ranges from 214W to 970W, deym

[viral heron]

390

[wary fjord]

how much polution is it on your place

xD

aint ac already clean the air

what clean air is if ur circulate it right?

[viral heron]

It gets really humid during the summer

And I hate humidity

The air quality is fine

[wary fjord]

yeah

it makes ur stuff modly

[viral heron]

Exactly

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/HhXIp7n3kic?si=CMHHj2kMpgQ0ho6m

[wary fjord]

corosion on your pc hardware too

[rancid juniper]

😂

[tranquil pebble]

they're similar to ACs

[wary fjord]

yeah i thought ac is enough

[tranquil pebble]

my AC has a dehumidifier mode on it

[viral heron]

It prolly is tbh I can prolly just do with one of them at a time

[rancid juniper]

@wary fjord @tranquil pebble its time to speculate

GREEN PERSONA THEME???

HMMM

[viral heron]

Do you have a window AC

I have central air but it gets too hot

[tranquil pebble]

People have been saying this for a long time

[wary fjord]

i swear ac can dehumidify

xD

maybe some good brands

[rancid juniper]

for real???

[tranquil pebble]

yes, a very big one

yeah

[viral heron]

On at the same time as ur PC? On same circuit if u know?

[tranquil pebble]

I'm in multiple Persona servers so yeah

Yes and yes

[rancid juniper]

bro

[wary fjord]

hmmm hope its not chibi

please not be chibi

[rancid juniper]

its not gonna be chibi

that goes to Q series

[tranquil pebble]

They never use chibi for mainline

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[tranquil pebble]

and Strikers

[rancid juniper]

and strikers

[wary fjord]

yeah

[tranquil pebble]

P5T I mean

[wary fjord]

hmm i hope they increase datable character

[rancid juniper]

YOOOO

so we are like

so its been like 5 years

[tranquil pebble]

I like chibi art but it wouldn't be good for mainline

[wary fjord]

u forgot pendimic happend on that time

[rancid juniper]

stop...

[wary fjord]

do they even do a work

on that time

xD

[rancid juniper]

and P3R was worked on during the pandemic

[tranquil pebble]

one good thing came out of the pandemic: it inspired Ghostwire Tokyo

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

tango FAT BRAIN

[wary fjord]

i dont know

i wish its not 60 fps locked

[rancid juniper]

shinji mikami fattest brained individual

[tranquil pebble]

We need more games based on Japanese mythology

[wary fjord]

yeah because our methology is boring

[rancid juniper]

so persona 6 coming late 2025/2026?

hmmm

[wary fjord]

xD

[rancid juniper]

probably needs an extra year in the oven

that metaphor game is going to be released first

[wary fjord]

have u seen that site that makes song and lyrics by its own

using ai

[rancid juniper]

cring

no

[wary fjord]

its quite good

suno ai something

[tranquil pebble]

As long as Atlus doesn't rush it, Persona 6 will be fire as always

[rancid juniper]

what is this "bucket theory" people are talking about?

[velvet summit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/_WJLez1QqFM?si=610CoV-raCMnrsWo

[rancid juniper]

tf @tranquil pebble @wary fjord

artificial delays are wild if this is true

lol

[velvet summit]

it was me that recommended it
also there isnt a wattage since it's not a UPS; it will carry the same amount of current your wall outlet is rated for, which is 120vac@60hz 15A

[wary fjord]

persona 3 reload is just port isnt it

maybe thats why it only take 2 years

im cringing so hard on how good ai can sing xd

i feel i can spread a politics on it haha

[rancid juniper]

well since p3 was already established i guess it was easier to copy and remake

[viral heron]

I'm only gonna plug my PC and 2 monitors into it so i think it'd be fine

[velvet summit]

yes, it should

[viral heron]

Monitors are only like 28watts right

[velvet summit]

depends, but i think they might be a bit higher

idk what monitors you use

[viral heron]

MSI G272QPF
APC G27G2 curved

Pretty sure the average window ac unit is like 1400watts

So that's like over 2k watts with my pc included. And pretty sure my circuit is only 1650 watts

[velvet summit]

the msi has a max draw of 45w @ 20vdc (2.25amps)

[mortal grail]

[velvet summit]

aoc has 28w typical

[viral heron]

If I were to plug my ac in and it exceeded the max watts combined with my pc for my circuit, would the surge protector protect the pc from breaking

I've had my old Pc, a window ac unit, and a dehumidifier on at the same time before and have been fine. (No surge protectors)

[velvet summit]

1.5a for both monitors max
that leaves 12a for your gaming system (ideally)

[velvet summit]

no, nothing would happen even without the surge protector, except for your circuit breaker tripping

or at most, system instability from voltage dropping causing a crash, but still no damage

other than potential file corruptions from the crash

and if your circuit breaker is faulty, then your house will catch fire

will is a strong word, it only might

due to the wires in the wall overheating

but that's only if you exceed the max amperage for extended periods of time and have a high enough current

like, the cables in your wall on your 15a circuit can probably handle 20a without melting

even after a few hours of use

but it's only been certified and approved to safely carry 15a for 24/7

[viral heron]

Ok thanks for the help. I think I understand what watts and joules are but still have no idea where Amps and volts come into play

[velvet summit]

think of it as like, water pressure, which is a common analogy

volts is like the water pressure, and amprage is the speed of the water flow, while wattage is the amount of water flowing

and resistance is the size of the water pipe

[viral heron]

Makes sense. Is there an amp amount listed for my pc somewhere or is there a formula to get from watts to amps?

[tranquil pebble]

a UPS can protect from all this though

and honestly, I recommend them

[velvet summit]

their budget is 150usd or smth

[viral heron]

I was looking into them and the good ones are like $500 no?

[velvet summit]

300 or so for one that would fit your needs

[viral heron]

I can spend that much if like I absolutely needed it I just only care about my pc components staying safe. Idc if I have to fac reset and lose everything

And from my understanding an adequate surge protector does the at job

[tranquil pebble]

ups would be overkill if you dont need battery backup then

[velvet summit]

i wasnt sure how to explain joules so i asked ai to make a good explaination lmfao

[viral heron]

Yeah that's good i thought the exact same thing like armor essentially

[tranquil pebble]

joules are the actual energy unit... 1 watt = 1 joule per second

[tranquil pebble]

that analogy is pretty good

[velvet summit]

fr

[viral heron]

Do you know if there's any difference in the 4 prong vs 6 prong tripplite

I don't need 6 outlets

[tranquil pebble]

also some electronics already have a surge protector built in (Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X included)

[viral heron]

That's good to know I didn't know that

[tranquil pebble]

idk if computer PSUs do this or not, but a good one probably does

[viral heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/H4MMnQ/deepcool-px850g-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-r-px850g-fc0b-us

[velvet summit]

most of the time they dont really do well in large surges.... though honestly speaking those are quite rare

[viral heron]

Idk how to tell

[tranquil pebble]

a big enough surge will just fry everything regardless, but those are insanely rare fortunately

[velvet summit]

nothing is surviving a direct lightning strike lol

[tranquil pebble]

exactly

[viral heron]

I still don't even know what causes a surge besides something like that

Just too much power?

[tranquil pebble]

when power is restored there is generally at least a small surge from that

[velvet summit]

by the way, if you are concerned about a power surge damaging your electronics, it may be better to get a whole home surge protector installed by an electrician; total cost of parts and labor will probably be around $250usd

[tranquil pebble]

250 isnt bad at all

[wary fjord]

250 sounds generous

xD

[tranquil pebble]

ikr

[wary fjord]

hahaaha

[viral heron]

Yeah I was thinking of doing something like that at this point

[velvet summit]

depends on your house but it's probably better to overestimate than underestimate lmao

[viral heron]

And if you had something like that you could just plug it into the walls and it's protected?

[wary fjord]

250 probably just for labor

xD

[velvet summit]

ehh, a quality surge protector unit would be more around $150?

[tranquil pebble]

car repair be like: $15 part, $1000 labor...

[wary fjord]

ikr

2grand if u are famale

3 grand if u a grandma

[velvet summit]

"oops, one of your screws are rusted through, the bill is $100"

[viral heron]

$1000 oil change

[wary fjord]

it runs out of blinker fluid

that will be 800 bucks

tsk

[velvet summit]

oil changes are so easy to do yourself

except for some cars

[tranquil pebble]

a civic is probably easy to do lol

they're generally made to be easy to work on

[velvet summit]

a civic is very easy to do

[wary fjord]

oil so old its now a paste xD

haha

[craggy shoal]

if only I had the tools to change my car's oil on my own

and a flat/even surface

[velvet summit]

would you like some engine mochi

[wary fjord]

haha

[craggy shoal]

I beg your finest pardon?

[tranquil pebble]

like getting at stuff like the engine air filter doesnt even need a tool...

[wary fjord]

that one guy that fix ur engine light by just unpluging and pluging ur battery

and charge u tons for it

yet it will go back again next week

when everything is calibrated

[tranquil pebble]

dealership just straight up told me how to do that on my own when I asked about the code I got lol

light never came back either

[velvet summit]

couldnt find a good image on google lmao

[craggy shoal]

oh my gosh that's disgusting 💀

[wary fjord]

engine light is like ganglion cyst

it may or may not comeback

xd

[tranquil pebble]

crispy critters

[craggy shoal]

how long has it been since that oil has been changed? 💀

[tranquil pebble]

9001 BCE

[velvet summit]

it's more of someone somehow getting water into the oil

and having the engine continue to run

until it turns into a gel

[craggy shoal]

I somehow didn't know that

I learned something new today

[velvet summit]

and then the engine siezes up

[wary fjord]

i thought this is a texas brisket lol

hahahaha

[velvet summit]

it's probably better to not know of this atrocity

[tranquil pebble]

contamination is bad for oil... very bad

[velvet summit]

if you ever see it, your engine is totaled

nobody wants to clean it 💀 it wouldnt be worth it

[wary fjord]

the engine is dead but it doesnt know it yet

[tranquil pebble]

on an expensive enough engine, it could still be rebuilt, but yeah... your typical engine won't be worth it

[velvet summit]

on an expensive enough engine, it probably would have been caught before it turns into this lmao

[tranquil pebble]

[viral heron]

Does it matter the order in which I unplug my PC? Like do I turn PSU off or unplug first

[velvet summit]

Doesn't matter

[viral heron]

K thanks. Ima just order the TRIPPLITE and hope for the best

[velvet summit]

Just make sure the PC is shutdown before unplugging

[viral heron]

Yeah

[tranquil pebble]

the PSU switch does the same thing electrically as pulling the plug

it electrically disconnects power to the PSU

never seen one... does it really make turn day to night

they said it last 4-5 mins

[rancid juniper]

something like that

the moon is perfectly aligned to block the sun's rays

[wary fjord]

i dont understand why when that happen its not ok to watch it

like without safety eye thingy

its like u turn the brightness down xD if that happen

should be safe in my head haha

mine is changing because openrgb cant control my ram xD

this two modules are unsync no matter what.

Corrupted window

[icy ore]

where do you have the hdmi/dp plugged in to

[wary fjord]

Hope its on gpu cross fingers

[mighty hazel]

They tried it on both GPU, igpu

A whole different ass GPU

No picture either time

[wary fjord]

Yeah probably driver

[rough marlin]

But you can hear the PC get to Windows

[wary fjord]

Or corrupted Windows

Once u get login screen blackcreen?

[wary fjord]

Ow so just black?

Deym no bios logo?

Or mobo logo

Thats odd

[rough marlin]

Yeah

There's like no picture no matter the GPU

Maybe change cable?

Change to hdmi

Or dp if u already at hdmi

[rancid juniper]

Took like near 20 minutes lol

I waited because I thought there would be an extra cut scene right after

I got tricked

[mortal grail]

I fully expect even the menus in that game to look like they're a 2007 paint file creation

[rancid juniper]

I'm sorta glad that the game didn't crash out or just become completely unplayable out of the blue

But ofc it's just the latest patch + decent spec'd pc

However, even if the game already compiled all the shaders before starting the campaign you'll still be hit with stutters in later areas

Or half GPU usage

Resulting in fps slowdowns bruh

[mortal grail]

That game will go down in my brain as frankly one of the most terrible games of all time, specifically the pc remake

The original game was, fantastic

No exaggeration

The port

Took what feels like too many millions

Somehow made it worse

Wasted everyone's time

And somehow still gets updates

We looked at this, you can play for free, the RPCS3 version and it looks AND plays better

[rancid juniper]

Yea no doubt

The amount of redos this game has is much more than GTA 5

[mighty hazel]

💀 💀

[mortal grail]

It's beyond saving

it was more of an update ig
