general-chat

[wary fjord]

kinda but not xD intel is a good kid

straight A

they just xD goof around lately

they gonna fix it next semester

[craggy shoal]

I might go AMD for my next build lol. Lower powered so it won't heat my room up as much

[sinful blade]

Just ship me your old one
I’ll pay you in lullabies

[craggy shoal]

Nah I'd probably use it for something lol

It has a 13700K in it lol

Can't waste that (plus it'll probably be a while from now and AMD may or may not do something different by then)

[sinful blade]

I’m hoping intel just pops amd in its head and drops a gaming cpu better than the 7800x3d

[craggy shoal]

Economically, I prefer the competition. It makes CPUs cheaper

Nintendo confirms they will reveal their next console during this fiscal year 🎮

Twitter · May 7, 2024, 7:08 AM

Oh boy, can’t wait for another underpowered and overpriced console

[craggy shoal]

But competition + innovation keeps them cheap. So yeah I think it would be great if Intel suddenly did something different that destroys AMD for a second (typically the case in random points in history lol)

[sinful blade]

I vote that companies just simplify the naming struction

CPU 1, cpu 2, and so on

[craggy shoal]

2024 Core i7 Tier 1

[sinful blade]

Literally

[wary fjord]

9000 series one?

[craggy shoal]

nah I'd probably wait about two or three years since first building my current build

I'll probably get a new PSU soon though because my current one is meeting its warranty expiration date in a couple years

Yooo

Amazon Prime Gaming has some bangers this month

Lego Star Wars, Tomb Raider, and Fallout 76

[craggy shoal]

Requires Gog

whatever lol that's worth it for me

Fallout 76 only on Xbox :(

[reef grove]

No copy the code and claim it in the Microsoft store

[reef grove]

It’s a free marketplace just like steam. Amazon gives a lot of games away on GOG

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/sCmgZOyR59A?si=ACJW8B89xk49bqaT

[reef grove]

My GOG library, all have been free from Amazon

[rancid juniper]

WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL???

no this CANNOT BE REAL

WTF XBOX/MS?

bro...

TANGO WAS GOOD how TF

[rancid juniper]

no ghostwire 2, no evil within 3

damn

[tranquil pebble]

idk how to express my anger at this without swearing rn ngl

[rancid juniper]

Xbox really pulled an EA

and for no reason as tango made GOOD games

[craggy shoal]

lol I forgot to redeem my Fallout 76 PC code from last month

[tranquil pebble]

they werent live service so clearly not profitable enough

[elfin mural]

can't satisfy investors

[rancid juniper]

yea its all about the DAMN PROFITS

[tranquil pebble]

I hate this industry rn

[rancid juniper]

NOT THE GREAT GAMES ITSELF

[elfin mural]

investors demand quick and constant gains

no matter whatever it takes

[rancid juniper]

I wish this industry FREAKING BURNS

[tranquil pebble]

At least we still have Atlus... for now. ISTG if Microsoft buys Sega somehow I'm gonna lose it.

[rancid juniper]

I dont think sega would give in to snobby microsoft

maybe thats why shinji mikami left tango

dude knows whats going to happen months later

[tranquil pebble]

I dont blame him

[rancid juniper]

yea...

[tranquil pebble]

Sadly Sony is no better...

For all the faults Nintendo has, at least they're not shuttering studios left and right AFAIK

[unreal trail]

I dont gaf what kind of power it has, it has games to play

[rancid juniper]

Most of these companies are anti-consumer

[elfin mural]

underpowered?

i don't think so

yknow you can't really beat a ps5 in perf unless you get lucky used

switch i think wouldn't be very weak either

[unreal trail]

Switch is fine for what it is

[elfin mural]

switch 2 spices it up appropriately to the age

should beat gaming phones at least

[unreal trail]

Switch 2 brings it to the graphics "wall" so to say

they can portray any visual style they want, and the most used style is realism or Pixar

[elfin mural]

nvidia gpu and semi-latest arm cortex cores

should be speedy

switch at the time it was released, no tablets had that much power

let alone phones

[tranquil pebble]

Hecking Microsoft...

[rancid juniper]

they think they funny

🗿

[unreal trail]

apparently Switch 2 works with OG Switch Pro controller, but not OG Joycons

[tranquil pebble]

I broke this news to the Xbox Discord server, and yeah people there are not happy either

[rancid juniper]

Yea its damn ridiculous

like how did tango face closure when they made consistently good games?

they got good talent and direction over there

i dont understand

I played both ghostwire and hifi-rush, two enjoyable experiences

and was planning to play the evil within at some point

[tranquil pebble]

Hi-Fi Rush had amazing artwork too

[rancid juniper]

smooth gameplay and great music

[tranquil pebble]

Ghostwire was amazing for all the Japanese lore integrated into it

the yokai were just plain cool

[rancid juniper]

WHAT I REALLY HATE... IS THAT THEY NOW OWN THE IPs

THEY GONNA LEAVE IT THERE

LIKE, WTF

😡

[tranquil pebble]

Well, they can't own the Japanese mythology lol. So, a similar game to Ghostwire is always possible from other companies at least.

[rancid juniper]

i guess

[unreal trail]

It feels like MS is absorbing these smaller studios and moving the employees to other internal positions

[rancid juniper]

bingo

[tranquil pebble]

yeah that happens a lot with big corps

[unreal trail]

man wanted to make games but ends up as outlook mailbox maintenance

[rancid juniper]

😭

i... hate... these... live-service...bs

[tranquil pebble]

Stuff like this is why indies have to keep going

[rancid juniper]

^^^

gotta prove em wrong

and dont give in to their "deals" when the game gets successful

[tranquil pebble]

We all know what Mojang's eventual fate will be too. Same as everyone else.

Once Minecraft is no longer pulling in profits, that's it for them.

[rancid juniper]

minecraft not making me 5BIL in a year???
THATS IT IM SHUTTING MOJANG DOWN
-MS

[rancid juniper]

these bozos man..

@tranquil pebble @unreal trail sums up quite nicely LMFAO (hi-fi rush)

[chrome portal]

Egg man 2

[tranquil pebble]

The Xbox Discord is in flames right now on terms of user sentiment. Even the mods there are not happy with the situation.

Microsoft really goofed on this one

[elfin mural]

lol

[tranquil pebble]

Sony also goofed but not near as bad

[elfin mural]

last night i was watching a vid about hifi rush

fun game

[tranquil pebble]

Ghostwire Tokyo is also a fun game

[elfin mural]

shame its studio had to be put down

[tranquil pebble]

I want more Japanese mythology in games

[elfin mural]

which i don't understand

well i do

[rancid juniper]

Frick MS FRICK THEIR TRASH ASS DECISIONS

[elfin mural]

but it's a reason i hate

[rancid juniper]

Everyone, I mean everyone is angry

[elfin mural]

it's the investors pressuring ms i bet

all they want is money

quick and constant

[rancid juniper]

Tired of these goofy ass monopolies ruining everything they touch

Man...

[tranquil pebble]

I say we support indies more as a whole

[rancid juniper]

^^^

Exactly

[elfin mural]

some indies are nice

not all tho

a lot of em are bad

[tranquil pebble]

the good ones need all the support they can get though

[elfin mural]

ofc

[tranquil pebble]

This for example. One guy has poured so much love into this project that it makes a laughing stock out of most shooters.

Literally the first shooter to displace Perfect Dark as my all time favorite.

[north crescent]

Made little money while being kinda expensive is what I've heard about it.

Also heard one internet dweller say that lot of the skilled folk moved out of Tango.

[tranquil pebble]

They pushed the graphics a little too hard but otherwise the game was great IMO

[north crescent]

Unfortunately doesn't really matter how great something is if it isn't really generating money.

Games be expensive a lot of the time

[tranquil pebble]

yeah ik but that doesnt lessen the frustration

[surreal kernel]

bro

do i just gamble 80 euros

on cs

like rn

rn

[worn wave]

no

[surreal kernel]

[unreal trail]

Wood needs to start going down in price

[pliant berry]

is it still high? I haven't checked prices lately

[unreal trail]

7 dollars for a 1x6 is ridiculous

[pliant berry]

apparently it isn't as bad as it was during covid though lol

[icy ore]

Boy it’s hot

[elfin mural]

799 for that

not terrible

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[wraith viper]

Hey newegg gave me a 15$ voucher because a few years ago when I bought a 3070ti they gave me a 1060. What should I buy.

[fluid cloak]

A 4090 is safe right?

I’m planning on upgrading this summer from the 6700 xt

Don’t wanna spend a high price for bs

[wind quail]

its safe but the value is ass

either get a 4080 super or wait for 50 series imo

[fluid cloak]

Alright

[elfin mural]

tbf 4090 is basically a titan

[regal mason]

Quick Question i got a m.2 drive in my laptop and my pc has SSD i wanna clone everything my PC has to my m.2 is that possible if so how

[elfin mural]

overkill for anything

[elfin mural]

if there are programs in your pc i don't recommend that

though you could use macrium reflect

but you'll need to have two ssds installed in one system to do so

or connect to the ssd externally using an enclosure, or just sata to usb cable if the ssd is 2.5" sata

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah I fully second what pato said

4090 is 30% better than the xtx/4080 super

There's a 7900xtx refurb for $690 on newegg rn

Nvm

Anyways, 4090 30% better than 4080 super for $600-800 more, and 8gb more vram

The xtx already has 24gb vram and performs the same as 4080s

[dusk knot]

NgreedAI

[regal mason]

nah i just need files dont care about prograns

like pics and stuff

[regal mason]

so i can get a adapter from amazon connect m.2 to pc and clone the current C drive to the m.2?

[mighty hazel]

titan was way ahead of its time

titan rtx having 24gb 🗿

It was probably a few years ago

I had to do an interview for a job position that it was already decided I wouldn't be getting.

[dusk knot]

They tend to do that very often

That should be illegal

And not post the listing to begin with

If you're talking about the position already having a person in mind..

[verbal ridge]

is there any video of someone setting up the as rock b650m pro rs?

[sinful blade]

@dusk knot they either messed up

Or gave everyone it for free

This entire years seasons are free

Open to all

Free to play

@sour falcon

It was intentional
Beyond light, witch queen, and shadowkeep are all accessible

[sour falcon]

HUH?

Like for a limited time or can I keep it

I have witch queen

Oh wait are you talking about the Epic games

If so thankfully I knew about that

[sinful blade]

30 days

[sinful blade]

No

Everywhere

[sour falcon]

In game?

[sinful blade]

Until Final shape, you can play anything

Yes

[sour falcon]

Ooooh

[sinful blade]

All 3 big dlcs, and all of this years seasons

[sour falcon]

And it’s already downloaded or it’s like the rest where I have to download extras?

They’re usually 10mb

#cpus-mobo-and-memory

[rancid juniper]

Basically Xbox/MS shut down 4 studios today and one of them made a successful game last year (hi-fi rush). The dev behind that game was tango softworks, a company the guy that tweeted founded, he left nearly a year ago

[sinful blade]

Ah
Sad

[rancid juniper]

The reason he left is that he believed in his team's potential

He spent most of the years building them up

[sinful blade]

Ironic considering I have this on my Xbox front page

[rancid juniper]

Trying tactics to quell the storm

[sinful blade]

It explains the massive sales going on today

[rancid juniper]

Yep

[sinful blade]

Time to go back to my BSSA emblem hunt

what is discord doing

[random osprey]

@pliant berry there’s gotta be a better way to do this right

Am I just being a dumb?

[pliant berry]

you trying to make it float out of the box?

[random osprey]

ye. the mouse kinda but like, theres gotta be a better way to do it

the dongle i want the other way to face the camera

just need more wires

[pliant berry]

some people like to use fishing line or floral cable like you have, the other option I can think of is dropping it at a fast shutter but you need bright light for that and might risk scuffing it

[random osprey]

guess just more wires then

dont have much light

[pliant berry]

lol

[random osprey]

i need another room. computer and soft boxes are too hot

[pliant berry]

one thing I've done in the past is make a loop of floral cable to tie the object to and then from above where it separates I tie 2 strings in opposite directions to keep it facing the right way

[pliant berry]

yeah that will get toasty xD

[sinful blade]

UwU

[frozen tide]

thanks

bro i hate myself. setup all this up and my camera is behind everything

[gritty forge]

lMAo

[pliant berry]

wtf

[random osprey]

insane how just changing the background messes with a camera so much

these are the same exact settings and lighting, just black vs white background

light do be more reflective

also just realized my camera is tilted in the right image, oop

that is with tripod

lmao

you took this?

goddamn

[random osprey]

ye

wires are not fun though

gravity and physics im too dumb to know about so im struggling

at some point i need to save up some more money though for a better camera that can take some better pictures in low light cause like 95% of my images have grain to them no matter what settings i use

and no matter how many lights i turn on

[pliant berry]

grain isn't necessarily a bad thing

[tranquil pebble]

Microsoft: buy lots of studios, then shut down all the ones that aren't pulling in enough money

[mortal grail]

I never found one in all my time messing with it other than just not changing anything gpu or display related after it's set up

[misty sparrow]

no studios deserve to be shut down but after Redfall i could see why Arkane Austin was shut down

[mortal grail]

Prebuilts I don't do much looking into

There's so little consistency in how they turn up in one piece I just actively don't try with them

[sinful blade]

Fair enough

Actually

Looks to be a scammer

4070ti for $160? Nah

[elfin mural]

id say

legion 5 towers seem to be consistent enough

[sinful blade]

That’s what I’m seeing

Only the t5 though
The 5i seem to suck

[ancient swift]

Upgrade the CPU

[craggy shoal]

That’s what I’m thinking. Might as well just build her a whole new computer at that point (she only has room for a single SSD and it's only a 1TB drive)

I built it so we can play Minecraft together. Which it's been fine for that but it's running some light hardware that could use some upgrading

I want to get her 32GB of memory too. She's stuck on 16GB

What in blue blazes does that mean

[rancid juniper]

you didnt know what happened yesterday from xbox?

they canned like 4 studios

one of which made a great game last year

[mortal grail]

????

[rancid juniper]

another studio only made like one bad game (arkane austin) and got rekt

sad for everyone who lost their jobs

funnily enough xbox was "happy" with the sales of the game tango made last year, it even won a bafta award

guess that doesn't matter and its all lies

as usual

[mortal grail]

Which one was the good game again

[rancid juniper]

no developer feels safe now as they now know that its all about the profits/live service/and nasty micros

[mortal grail]

Sorry I don't want to sort through the mud

If you remember

[rancid juniper]

Hi-Fi rush

[mortal grail]

Ah ok that was my guess

[rancid juniper]

Arkane Austin is the same developer who worked on dishonored and prey (2017)

[mortal grail]

Jeez that's a pretty big hit tho

Prey was fun

[rancid juniper]

gamepass is a joke

and ms/xbox is too

[mortal grail]

Prey was also a 1 hour game

[rancid juniper]

1 HR?

[mortal grail]

Well what I mean is

It was fun until an hour passed

[rancid juniper]

damn

[mortal grail]

But in that hour it was a LOT of fun

Hi rom

[rancid juniper]

HEY ROMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY

it sucks, because you get auto killed when you make one bad game

and i dont think the developers liked the way redfall was handled anyways

its the execs that control most of it lets be real

people with TALENT legit lost their jobs

[mortal grail]

Redfall was a joke

[rancid juniper]

who knows if their next game could be the GREATEST game of all time

[mortal grail]

Give me one reason why most games failed in the last 3 years and this is my answer

[rancid juniper]

it was to many people including me but then you realize that these people probably dont have a say on the project

[mortal grail]

Microsoft's fabled 18/6 rule has killed their AAA

[rancid juniper]

and remember how forza was handled? That dumb plan microsoft imposed?

i forgot what it was, thats how ass it was

[mortal grail]

Yes that's the plan I'm talking about

[rancid juniper]

yes that rule LOL

[mortal grail]

The 18/6 rule

Employ a person 18 months and then sack them without recontract

No permanent employment rewards are given

$$$$$++++ bottom line for accountants

As a result you get exhaustively worked people, flying in and out the door with prior experience and knowledge lost, so people are relearning

It's basically predatory employment but it's missing a few steps

[rancid juniper]

this

it just leads to development hell

[mortal grail]

Mhm

Both halo and forza died by this

[rancid juniper]

but then the execs be like oh my money i gotta protect my money

ffs

literally give the studio SOME TIME

[mortal grail]

You wonder why sea of thieves still has as much active pull after all these years

It was one of the last good ms games

It's, RARE

[rancid juniper]

i swear many big game developers wont go where they are today if they got shut down after they released one game 15+ years ago

[rancid juniper]

RARE is goated even if i never played their games

they have DECADES of experience under their belt

[mortal grail]

Pretty RARE to find a good studio these days

[rancid juniper]

bruh

☠️

[mortal grail]

Infinite I hear is still coughing up blood

[rancid juniper]

whole gaming industry needs a reboot

lol

[mortal grail]

On the plus side D2 might be better with the final dlc so if you want a true halo experience that plays better anyway

[rancid juniper]

an example would be if EA ever owned rockstar and then they shut down the studio after they made GTA 1 because, "they didn't make enough money"

you would NEVER see GTA SA/ GTA 4/ 5

this is how it is

you would never see future big hits

[mortal grail]

Can you imagine a world without gta

[rancid juniper]

would be hella different thats for sure

damn right

[mortal grail]

Or probably no different

People might be more Christian

[rancid juniper]

😂

[mortal grail]

Grand carjacking san Antonio

[rancid juniper]

...

[mortal grail]

Big jack vice versa

Where's my audio jack

[rancid juniper]

Hmm I wonder if Microsoft gonna kill obsidian next

Maybe ninja theory

[mortal grail]

Without gametheory we're just in chaos

[rancid juniper]

😭

And also close studios like PlayStation studios London while we're at it

Nintendo: "yo, switch 2"

[mortal grail]

Did you guys see that right before they backed this off, Ukraine needed a ps5 to create a psn account

So in order to play your now locked pc game

You needed to buy a $500 console

In Ukraine!

The website physically won't let you sign up

Lol

Vpn's get instabanned on psn btw

[rancid juniper]

wild

[rough marlin]

190 on a 6650 XT or 125 on a 5700 XT?

[velvet summit]

some people are blind frfr

[velvet summit]

for the price difference, i would go for 5700xt

iirc they preform basically the same?

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-27084790

[rancid juniper]

the only thing i can take from 6650xt is better power efficiency, RT (even if its mid), extra features like mesh shaders

[rough marlin]

5700 XT and 6600 XT are equivalent though the 6600 is slightly faster in some games

I thought the 6650 XT was some % faster than the 5700 XT?

[rancid juniper]

and RDNA2 alone is quite solid

[rancid juniper]

pretty sure it is

[rough marlin]

Like a non marginal amount

While the 6600 XT is more marginal

[rancid juniper]

thats up to you if you want to spend or save the extra 65 bucks

[velvet summit]

but is it worth... 65 dollars more

[rough marlin]

This is the question, yeah

[velvet summit]

personally, i would say no

if it was more like 30 bucks more, sure

[rancid juniper]

paying 65 more for a 16% uplift in performance

[rough marlin]

I took the curse out what 😭

[rough marlin]

16% is more than I thought it was tbf

Thought it was more like 5 or 10

[rough marlin]

Mesh Shaders?

[velvet summit]

depends on the application

[rough marlin]

Regardless I be playing things on low, let alone Raytraced so that's never matter that much to me lol, nor does power efficiency really since it's an egpu

[rancid juniper]

newer games like alan wake 2 may require this

without it the game runs bad

rdna1 doesn't have mesh shaders

however alot of games dont use it

[velvet summit]

what games even support it
i tried to look for a list but it doesnt exist lmao

[wary fjord]

just get 4090 and get over it

xD

[wary fjord]

not all games in egpu mode are stable

[rough marlin]

I mean yeah

[wary fjord]

it do be clunky sometimes u might blame the gpu sometimes but gpu did nothing wrong.. something just going on the egpu side most of the time

[rough marlin]

Is egpu things

I'm fine with this tho

[rancid juniper]

only alan wake 2 it seems

[rough marlin]

At what price would the 6650 be worth?

[rancid juniper]

lol

[rancid juniper]

69 bucks

[rough marlin]

175?

[velvet summit]

☠️

[rancid juniper]

[rough marlin]

It's 190 shipped btw

[rancid juniper]

as long as your pc supports rebar u fine

[rough marlin]

Ohhh righttt rebarrrr

Ermmmm it's a laptopppp sooooo?

[rancid juniper]

for intel gpus

[wary fjord]

laptop has rebar?

[rough marlin]

Yeaaah lol

[rancid juniper]

i cant tell if they're trolling at this point @velvet summit

[rough marlin]

Probably not my regular shmegular old thinkpad lol

[velvet summit]

☠️

[mortal grail]

Of course it's Australia

[rancid juniper]

theres some people who WANTS it

[mortal grail]

Only Australians would do this

Who is she

I want in

[rough marlin]

Yes both are shipped prices, and flat (so, tax included)

[wary fjord]

hmm u login u have to pay 5 bucks like that?

[rancid juniper]

yes

😳

[wary fjord]

deym i cant play that

[rough marlin]

To specify further

[rancid juniper]

lol

https://youtu.be/itTsBZAdyy8?si=LANN7ejTIHUB7BTt

[wary fjord]

make sure it doesnt say "parts only" when u find a shady cheap gpu

[rough marlin]

It'd be a Power Color Red Dragon 5700 XT or a XFX 6650 XT

[rancid juniper]

💀

[craggy shoal]

@wise geyser It's been a while. Where've you been?

[gleaming rivet]

My gal spent $200 on cooking oil a few days ago. $200.. on cooking oil..

[wary fjord]

oooo the bourbon has nothing to do with this xD

its a brand

[elfin mural]

$200 on oil

my god

[wary fjord]

see

its a whisky also

[mortal grail]

Probably nice tasting oil tho

[wary fjord]

that looks neat

[gleaming rivet]

Yeah it's insane. Apparently really good oil.

[elfin mural]

I wanna taste em all for myself

[gleaming rivet]

I got told that we don't do our shopping at normal grocery stores.

I'm not allowed to buy food anymore

[elfin mural]

Only cook

[gleaming rivet]

I only get to cook while she's at work

And I just have today off.

[wary fjord]

xD

[wary fjord]

why is she gonna be mad if she find out you touching her stuff or something. or she cook for you instead.. or outside dinner?

[gleaming rivet]

She cooks for me. Makes me breakfast every morning and packs my lunch

[elfin mural]

Sounds lovely

[gleaming rivet]

Except this morning since I had day off, I slept in

Now I gotta skip making me eggs to go fix my boss's pickup lol

Threw a belt on the hwy so I gotta go save him

[dusk knot]

Hello wegg, we meet again.

[dusk knot]

Good graphics

[rancid juniper]

👍

[craggy shoal]

Groceries are getting expensive :(

[sinful blade]

UwU

[gleaming rivet]

My gal owns 3000 acres of farmland, 7 houses, an apartment complex, 3 bars. She doesn't know what expensive is.

[dusk knot]

Oh wow👀

[elfin mural]

She's got some money

Way more than I assumed

[craggy shoal]

My guy what does she do for a living?

[sinful blade]

Tell her to send me a house

[gleaming rivet]

Nothing

[dusk knot]

Or more like are her parents rich?

[craggy shoal]

$200 for cooking oil doesn't seem like much after you said that

[gleaming rivet]

No

She supports her parents

[craggy shoal]

Does she rent out the houses?

[gleaming rivet]

Yes

[craggy shoal]

ahhh there it is

[elfin mural]

Landlord

[craggy shoal]

That's what I want to do

[gleaming rivet]

Most the money comes from the farm

[dusk knot]

How is this possible.

[gleaming rivet]

She has people to manage the house

[elfin mural]

ooh

Damn

[dusk knot]

Wow

Must be nice

That's awesome.

[craggy shoal]

This housing market needs to slow down so I can rent out houses

[dusk knot]

Same

Till it's 99 percent off what we have rn

[gleaming rivet]

4 of the houses are over seas

[craggy shoal]

Does she have to pay taxes for the income she makes from the houses overseas?

That's what I'd be worried about

[gleaming rivet]

I'm not sure tbh

I haven't asked to much about it. Only been together a couple months

[sinful blade]

The housing market needs to calm down so I can afford to rent my apartment

[craggy shoal]

My gf can barefly afford the rent she's paying for, given what her university is providing her (she's a grad student going for her PhD)

It actually needs to slow down in general 💀

It's crazy right now because of people purchasing housing to store their money (and renting out the houses)

[dusk knot]

What a world we live in );

[dusk knot]

How did you two meet?

[craggy shoal]

It's like this:

1. You're rich but you need to secure your money somewhere. Buy a house
2. A bunch of other rich people start doing this
3. This makes the rich people who started doing this even richer
4. (It snowballs from here)

I've heard it's primarily businesses, rather than strictly rich people (or at least that's how it is now)

But that's why none of us can afford a house :)

[gleaming rivet]

I was at home Depot getting tools . She was in line behind me and conversation started

[dusk knot]

Well that's great. Home Depot, that's unusual.

That's great!

I hope nothing but joy and happiness for you two.

[craggy shoal]

I hope they make a white version

[mental yoke]

they’re making pretty decent coolers

[craggy shoal]

Because $74 for a liquid cooler with a display is nuts (it would probably be more like $100 just because it's white)

[mental yoke]

i have their white 240mm with my 7600.

[craggy shoal]

I'd need a 360mm lol

[mental yoke]

what cpu you got?

[craggy shoal]

13700K

[mental yoke]

oof

yeah ur def gonna need a 360mm to cool that thing

[craggy shoal]

I hope it can compete with my Lian Li Gallahad though for that price

[young matrix]

Honestly pretty good

[worn wave]

Yup

As expected from thermalright :)

[tranquil pebble]

I swear if Discord ever puts ads that can't be turned off for Nitro users I'm cancelling the sub and never giving them a penny again.

and it looks like they might be heading in that general direction

[pliant berry]

Advertising is very profitable

[worn wave]

If they ad adds I can't imagine nitro users will see them

Unless it's like a popup when you open the app telling you about new store items

[tranquil pebble]

ads for free tier is reasonable, but if I'm paying I shouldn't still see ads IMO

[dusk knot]

Hm

[tranquil pebble]

especially at the price of Nitro

[craggy shoal]

Their mid tier shoudl allow for 60fps streaming

That's the only thing I would use from Nitro other than sending bigger files lol

[tranquil pebble]

having ad-free vs ads would actually be a decent incentive for people to sub to nitro

They would need to keep any ads in check though because all it would take is a few malicious ads and its over for them (people will definitely block them in mass then)

That's pretty much how browser ads got ruined.

[mighty hazel]

Idk why you’d give them one in the first place xD

I guess emojis are cool

[worthy meteor]

Discord has ads now?

[pliant berry]

Well they have the promotional events for games

well in am5 standards

that board is fine

[devout forum]

It'd not be an awful thing features wise

But I am 100% sure it's a defective board

It's just not defective enough to warrant me losing my PC for the 2 weeks it'd take to get it RMAd and replaced via the builder

[mental yoke]

mate i just got a 7600

what gpu should i pair it with

[devout forum]

I'd say you can go up to 4070 Ti Superwith no qualms

But realistically if you play at 1440p/4k it'd probably be good enough for any GPU

So yeah

[elfin mural]

It can take anything

[mental yoke]

im thinking a 6700xt for a starting point?

[mental yoke]

so can my wif- nvm

[devout forum]

Realistically any GPU would be good up to 4090 (just don't so 1080p with it)

[elfin mural]

lol

[mental yoke]

whats up foxy

[devout forum]

6700XT is kinda meta rn

[mental yoke]

hows it goin bud

[devout forum]

It's really good price to perf

[elfin mural]

im sick, that's what

not in a cool way

but actually ill

[mental yoke]

oof, im sorry to hear that mate

hoping you get better

[devout forum]

Unless I'm just coping that I got a 6700XT idk anymore

[mental yoke]

sooo no 6700xt?

🥺

[devout forum]

Nah I think it's great

[mental yoke]

b-but i already bought it

[elfin mural]

it's a great combo

[devout forum]

1080p 144hz is def gonna work out for you

[mental yoke]

so 32gb of ram is enough?

[devout forum]

1440p 60 is reasonable

[elfin mural]

ye
