Thanks rtings

[velvet summit]

"very slim" as in like, it was the thickness of like an atx psu

lmao

[elfin mural]

I'll not recommend edge lit TVs anymore

[velvet summit]

more wrinkled than me

[elfin mural]

lmao

It's supposed to be taut

You get swirls in your display

Instead of a direct reflection

The only workaround is to never run them at max brightness

[mortal grail]

Ya, shocking that planned obsolescence is only now being discovered

For the millionth time

[elfin mural]

lmao

[proud jackal]

i hope my new display is good

[mortal grail]

It'll have warped reflector sheets theo

[proud jackal]

if it does

you're dead.

[mortal grail]

[proud jackal]

okay time to get my blood test done bbl

[rancid juniper]

Ouch

Dang I haven't gotten my blood drawn in over a decade

[keen shale]

I did last year for surgery. I absolutely hate needles

[dusk knot]

It's going to be mid

[sinful blade]

It’s going to be bad

[rancid juniper]

SAME

This is why I'm trying not to get hurt or sick, don't want to be in that room getting like 5+ needles in my skin

[keen shale]

Eh, it's not bad. It'll happen eventually.

[rancid juniper]

I swear the last vaccine I got hurts like hell

[keen shale]

The most amazing part is after surgery I woke up perfectly clear and lucid, ate and drank almost immediately and went home

Not like the loopy peeps you see sometimes

[rancid juniper]

Oh wow

Bro adapted

Lol

[keen shale]

I was expecting to be in lala land for while but nope. Way better than I expected

[opaque sedge]

Are 9700x benchmarks out yet?

Looks like its gonna be abt the same price as the 7800x3d

[keen shale]

I don't think so

owait, maybe

IDK how much I trust VideoCardz tho

9700x is about 2K points higher in CBR23 than 7700x

[elfin mural]

It's likely behind 7800X3D in games tho

Or equal

[keen shale]

Ya

Cache really does make a difference

[elfin mural]

9900X loses to it by 4-8%

[opaque sedge]

Insane the 7800x3d might actually be the best tech purchase i ever made in my life

[elfin mural]

So 9700X is probably equal

Cache is king for gaming

Games are very sensitive to latency

[sinful blade]

Make another one for me

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

[elfin mural]

More fast memory = faster game

[sinful blade]

I’ll probably get a pretty advanced build if I get backpay

And not OC it at all

[opaque sedge]

Whats backpay?

[sinful blade]

Disability from social security

I’ve been in a fight with them for years now

[opaque sedge]

Damn ur retired?

[sinful blade]

No
I wish
I’m 24 lmao

[opaque sedge]

Or is it different for disability?

[opaque sedge]

Oh damn I didn’t know you had to go thru ssc

[sinful blade]

I have several disabilities that basically kill my ability to work

But I need moneys

[opaque sedge]

We all do

[sinful blade]

But if they find that they were wrong in saying I was able to work(which is what it sounds like)
I will either resume the $941 a month
Or get $11k, $24k, or up to $54k
If they decide when I should’ve been getting payments

[opaque sedge]

Good luck man

If all goes well definitely get a fancy oled monitor

[rancid juniper]

https://videocardz.com/newz/aoostar-launches-external-gpu-dock-wtih-oculink-at-149-comes-with-built-in-400w-power-supply

basically this

[elfin mural]

egpu is meh even with oculink tbh

poor 3080ti bottlenecked to hell

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO rip

honestly i would just put something like an RX 570/GTX 960 in it for my laptop

but at that point i'd just use my desktop

[elfin mural]

yeah

or gets half the perf compared to a pc

[sinful blade]

I’ll be getting a 4090 build 100%

Never upgrading again

Also @elfin mural https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m61499580250?sv=0
Should I take offer

$80

[elfin mural]

honestly idk

but if you're desperate ig

[dusk knot]

😏

Don't worry guys, I'll share some of the GPUs for free

[keen shale]

Not upgrading my EVGA 3070 until it dies

Then it shall live on a shelf forever

[dusk knot]

@rancid juniper the micro center in Miami is open! 😳

[rancid juniper]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lets not go???

[keen shale]

Microcenter website still lists as coming in 2024?

[rancid juniper]

ok

they finally confirmed a date

[sinful blade]

It’s just stuff to resell tbh

[tranquil pebble]

imagine an AGP egpu

[keen shale]

Imagine knowing AGP was a thing

[tranquil pebble]

I have a system with ISA too

[keen shale]

OH, we going old old school now

[tranquil pebble]

same system has pci and agp

[keen shale]

I don't have any of my old old hardware anymore

[tranquil pebble]

super socket 7 based

[keen shale]

Cyrix??

[tranquil pebble]

which IMO was one of the coolest sockets of the 90s

[keen shale]

No one remembers them

[tranquil pebble]

Cyrix MII

ATI Rage 128 graphics

[keen shale]

Back bvefore CPU"s even had a heatsink, just a heavy ceramic brick

[velvet summit]

weak

those needles are so tiny

[keen shale]

It's not the needles, it's the after that hurts

[velvet summit]

oh

the covid vaccines only made my muscle sore and not really much else

[tranquil pebble]

you have not felt true pain until you have had something cut out of you with no numbing. Unfortunately I know this from experience

Not even morphine was enough to make that tolerable

one plus side is my pain tolerance increased from that

[rancid juniper]

id feel uncomfortable but afterwards the pain starts to kick in

[rancid juniper]

...damn

[velvet summit]

honestly the only needles i hate are IV needles because i never want to bend my joints in fear of the needle stabbing more than it already did

[rancid juniper]

worst case: The needle breaks and gets stuck

😭

[velvet summit]

but if it's just like, a shot or getting blood drawn, that's fine since that is only there for less than a minute

☠️

[keen shale]

Ya, the IV in my hand was the most annoying thing ever

Could feel it moving if I moved my hand

[velvet summit]

i had one in the... inner side of the elbow since my veins in my hands are too small

[dusk knot]

Lmaoooo

[rancid juniper]

my mom told me that IVs were the most painful

[velvet summit]

i wouldnt say they're painful? they're like psychological horror to me though lmao

[rancid juniper]

😂

[velvet summit]

though needles never really hurt me

[rancid juniper]

i wish i didn't care if a needle pricks my skin

but dang do i be LOOKIN

[velvet summit]

lmao

honestly i dont really mind looking at getting needles, but i do have to completely relax your muscles (which is quite important or else the needle will struggle at getting in properly) so i basically also empty my mind

[rancid juniper]

phlebotomist: "alright this won't hurt much but just don't look at it"

Me: 💉 👀

[keen shale]

I cannot watch. Needles are a big nope

Except tattoos

For whatever reason that's how my brain works

[rancid juniper]

hard for me to do but last time i had a vaccine i had to force myself to relax

[velvet summit]

probably because it has a limit to how deep it will go? though i find the prospect of getting a bundle of needles with ink getting stabbed into your skin repeatedly to be a bit disturbing
then i think of it in the microscopic level and then my slight trypophobia kicks in

but that happens just by thinking of pores so like, tattoos arent that worse

[keen shale]

This on my forearm? No problem. Getting a shot? NOPE, NOT HAPPENING.

[hot pumice]

i stopped being scared of needles at like 12 after draining my ear the first time

[keen shale]

Ohhh, wife had to do that. Was weed eating and got a staph infection somehow in her earlobe

[hot pumice]

ow wtf

[keen shale]

Yeah, we thinking something flew and hit her ear

This was years ago tho

[hot pumice]

i just had to drain blood coz i don't want cauliflower ear

[velvet summit]

depends™️

[fervent stump]

Can I have examples?

[velvet summit]

the examples is... well, it depends on the software
blender at least used to like nvidia alot more but i saw on some more recent posts, it makes use of amd gpu accleration better now

i have no idea what software you want to use

[fervent stump]

Oh alright I will try and make a list of stuff I want to do unless you think one gpu is better then the other

[velvet summit]

honestly just get the one that's cheaper

though if you want to use the gimmick (as of current) known as real time ray tracing, then nvidia has better performance for that

[fervent stump]

I don't need ray tracing

[fervent stump]

Yes

[velvet summit]

idk if it's the best price for a fishtank case though

[fervent stump]

How come?

[velvet summit]

i said i dont know if it's the best price

there may be cheaper options out there

i dont buy fishtank cases

[fervent stump]

I’ve looked

Me very picky

Whats a cheap AIO with a screen?

[craggy shoal]

None of them tbh

[fervent stump]

How come? They are all expensive?

[elfin mural]

They are all expensive

[fervent stump]

Oh I found one for 150 though is there a cheaper one or is that about the cheapest they get?

[elfin mural]

I suppose so

I don't do aios much so my knowledge is limited

[fervent stump]

Alrighty then so I will be getting this one.

Lian li has mid fans

[opaque sedge]

Well for the pc itself would depend on the building and what processing components he or she got

[mortal grail]

I've never had more issues on a case than my o11 evo

maybe they shouldn't have banned deepcool anyways lol

[opaque sedge]

But those fans and case

[opaque sedge]

[elfin mural]

Lian li is a sad excuse for glamour

At LEAST I understand noctua

[opaque sedge]

Oof, rn they seemed to have redone the game and the boss fights are fairly difficult even in normal dif

Can’t imagine playing the game at like 40 fps

Maybe on a smaller screen

[elfin mural]

try me at 30

45% 720p

it was pain lmao

Then JP

A mod

[keen shale]

So don't touch it

No need to touch panels

Dont know if i should skip this quest in my new play thru with phantom liberty

[velvet summit]

https://lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-tl/ pretty sure it's these

[opaque sedge]

Well yeah they’re the louis vuitton of the pc world, expensive price tag with mid quality and provide no real performance gains to the overall computing element of the pc

They

Only look cool

[fervent stump]

Wb NZXT?

[velvet summit]

similar

[opaque sedge]

Dont know if i had to bling out my pc build i would prolly go with montech stuff

[velvet summit]

nzxt is also more of a designer brand

[lone mango]

Yeah nzxt is more like that

King 95 looks really good and can also mesh out the front panel for max airflow

But i still like my cheap 903 air

[opaque sedge]

Is like 350 bucks

[keen shale]

1/3 the cost

You're paying 200 bones for a screen

[fervent stump]

Screen?

Screen is a requirement for me

[opaque sedge]

And looks good too unlike the basic look nzxt stuff has

[keen shale]

Yeah, in the NZXT AIO, you're paying 200 bucks for the screen

[fervent stump]

I need this

[keen shale]

Screen is want, not need. IDK how many times you've said you're poor here.

[opaque sedge]

Just get a small external monitor and place it somewhere inside the case ngl

If u really want a dedicated screen for temps and stuff

[fervent stump]

For me it’s a need

[keen shale]

No such thing

[fervent stump]

Not for that

[opaque sedge]

Also hasn’t decided on a good monitor for the future 4090 apparently…

[fervent stump]

Screen

[keen shale]

Get one of these, put in case, have 5" screen https://www.amazon.com/Elecrow-Capacitive-interface-Supports-Raspberry/dp/B07FDYXPT7/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=raspberry+pi+5"+monitor&language=en_US

[opaque sedge]

Peeps gotta be creative every now and then

[keen shale]

I didn't say I wanted to do it

[paper verge]

i liked the whole msi rgb cpu/gpu status thingy

[opaque sedge]

Clears the mind

[paper verge]

cause you can actually understand something

[keen shale]

But instead of paying $300 bucks for an overpriced AIO, do that instead

[opaque sedge]

Ok yk the teaching our parents taught us abt how looks dont matter and its the inside what counts pretty bad for irl but it’s extremely true for pc building

[remote geode]

man I wonder how the recent Intel layoffs will affect the rollout of the Battlemage series of GPUs

😦

[paper verge]

did twitter/google/fb layoffs affect anything? no

[fervent stump]

Looks do matter for pc at least for me

[paper verge]

kicking guys that sit on their chair and get paid really doesn't change nothin

[remote geode]

I hope so!

Intel corporate seems to be full of themselves lately

[keen shale]

Depends on what they were producing

[remote geode]

I'm just a bit concerned since I want to replace my 1070ti with a mid tier Battlemage card

ah well

[paper verge]

what'll most likely happen atleast with the devs is that the useless ones get fired, the good ones get overpressured and get scared so they work harder, and then they burnout

[opaque sedge]

Same like I just remembered when you mentioned the layoffs and had a oh holy crap moment for their gpu development

The gpu market needs competition

But now

Not looking to good

[opaque sedge]

Lol old nvidia employees be laughing in their leather chairs rn

[fervent stump]

Oh yea I get it I will see what I can do

[bright niche]

gn

[paper verge]

who do you want to compete with billion dollar companies lol

[paper verge]

[opaque sedge]

Damn are we gonna see old nvidia employees dip now?

[opaque sedge]

Bro dont mention corpos to my cyberpunk obsessed butt

Johnny silverhand left one heck of an impression on me

[paper verge]

that made no sense

so the us gonna get sued for dominating the world? lol

[fervent stump]

Can I buy fans just to put on a aio

[opaque sedge]

Some aios just come with radiators only as well i believe

[keen shale]

They have 80% of the market share and have supposedly been using some bad tactics to gain market

Threats and other things

[opaque sedge]

Oh god

Its exactly like cyberpunk

I’m about to crazy like that npc called gary in the game

[paper verge]

Threats is a crazy word

[fervent stump]

What fans are these?

[paper verge]

theres a difference between threating to buy a company and doing something physical

[keen shale]

let me find the article

[opaque sedge]

Look like lian li ones

Daisy chained as well

[paper verge]

most useless feature

[opaque sedge]

Wait a sec

What are the spec on that pc

That gpu looks small af

[keen shale]

It amounted to something like buy our hardware or we won't let you use our software

[opaque sedge]

Aint no way that dump is listed for 1.6k

[paper verge]

sounds pretty reasonable

[keen shale]

Not really

[opaque sedge]

Like taxes and government ig

Well actually sounds more like fiefdoms

[paper verge]

so then xbox livegold is also a threat?

you need to buy their hardware to use the software

so

[opaque sedge]

Well they atleast let you rent or borrow the land back then no need to buy it lol

Ngl nvidia seems to have played their cards right

Great hardware development

[keen shale]

Mmmm, doesn't look good for them

[opaque sedge]

And dominating software development too

They got barely any weaknesses

[keen shale]

I expect an Intel-like drop in the future. Not as hard or as far but it will drop

[paper verge]

how did nvidia dominate software development

[keen shale]

Call it "anti-competetive" or whatever you want, a threat is still a threat lol

[opaque sedge]

Well when your products hold the significant market share pretty sure you can lock people to your provided software right? Forgot apple?

[keen shale]

Some customers were saying that if nVidia even found out you were talking with a competitor it was game over

[paper verge]

nvidia is not locking anybody to their provided software

[fervent stump]

Not sure

[opaque sedge]

Game over as in a hit was put on them 👁️👄👁️

Or partnership over?

[fervent stump]

What’s the best monitor here

[keen shale]

No, basically like, canceled orders or maybe you'll get it in a year or two

[opaque sedge]

Wbt professional’s?

[opaque sedge]

Oh so bullying

[paper verge]

a professional isnt locked to nvidia nor their software

[keen shale]

We'll find out

It's pure garbage if it's true

[opaque sedge]

It sure looks damn helpful tho

[keen shale]

There were also reports that they'd up their prices to you if they found out you were shopping

[paper verge]

so do guns

no point to what your saying

[opaque sedge]

Nvidia boutto be the arasaka of computing world

[keen shale]

Kinda yeah lol

[paper verge]

literally every booking website

[opaque sedge]

Just need a dying fella who is possessed by a ghost and have strong bonds with each other to make the megacorp fall in a secret ending

[keen shale]

Their stock is already down 6%

[paper verge]

so is amds, and intels

[opaque sedge]

Yh most tech stocks took a hit this quarter

[fervent stump]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qyWGyg
Is this good or bad?

[keen shale]

Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out but the DOJ is involved now

Wouldn't surprise me if most of it was true. Competition is good, locking people out is bad

[fervent stump]

I need 4 more fans

All the fan spots will be full

[paper verge]

lets be honest

a company as big as nvidia at the end of the day will have influence beyond tech

[fervent stump]

Amd better

7900xtx 😍

[paper verge]

and when you have greedy people you can always pay em out

corruption will stand in court anywhere

[keen shale]

Working well for Intel right now right?

[fervent stump]

Intel or amd

[keen shale]

Don't buy Intel until the issues are sorted

[paper verge]

i've heard a billion firms tryna target intel, haven't heard of any doing anything though

and besides we'll see after the court rules

[fervent stump]

7800x3d better

[keen shale]

Not always but Intel CPU's have issues and they haven't been clear about when they started and stopped

[fervent stump]

The issue is the heat?

[keen shale]

No

VIA Oxidiation

microcode

[fervent stump]

Huh

[keen shale]

Probably more to come

[fervent stump]

Me dumb

[paper verge]

nor have most of the companies with the recent secure boot safety issue, so now we're gonna go sue everyone?

[keen shale]

Where did I say that?

[paper verge]

who mentioned you saying that?

[fervent stump]

My leg broken

[paper verge]

im tryna say most companies arent transparent but we've seen no implications as a result of it

and this is just like any other thing

[dusk knot]

🤨

[velvet summit]

Erm what the sigma

[fervent stump]

7900xtx or 4090

[velvet summit]

Well, if you have the budget, 4090 is currently the best gaming GPU

They're not even in the same price class

4090 is like 1 grand more

[opaque sedge]

Someone should make a donkey version of this

With donkeying around

[opaque sedge]

4080s would be a fairer comparison

Most people would pick nvidia when spending so much tho, cuz they typically buy at this price ramge for professional work

[fervent stump]

How much is the difference between them two?

[paper verge]

how is 2.5k budget

[opaque sedge]

7900xtx ekes out by a bit in raster aka the generation of physical surfaces in game but the 4080s has access to dlss currently the best upscaler and ray tracing also works worlds better for the few games that have it implemented

[velvet summit]

Have the budget
Not that it is budget

[opaque sedge]

If they’re going for similar prices then the 4080 super would be my pick but if the difference is significant then the xtx might be a good contender

But then again since you want to get a 300 dollar cooler i doubt the price difference thing means much to you

[paper verge]

i actually think putting a screen on your pc glass is cheaper than going with aesthetic build

[fervent stump]

I’m getting a 150 Cooler

To me looks matter

👁️👄👁️

[fervent stump]

You know how streamers sometimes have two PCs normally what does their second one have

[paper verge]

it records their stream

well streams their stream

acts like a capture card

[opaque sedge]

Streaming requires quite a lot of processing power right?

[paper verge]

depends on alot of factors

[velvet summit]

No they don't
Haven't since like after the 2012s pretty much

[opaque sedge]

When i was scouring for parts and ended up at microcenter for bundles an employee suggested if i plan to do any creative work with streaming and the like the 7700x could be a better pick than the 7800x3d

[velvet summit]

Most streamers are rocking single PC stream setups nowadays

The complexity of troubleshooting a dual PC setup is

Time consuming

[opaque sedge]

Any accessories that use the extra pcie slot to make single setup streaming easier?

[velvet summit]

Idk what would make it easier than it already is for single tower stream setups?

[opaque sedge]

Oh cool so streaming aint too bad in all amd setups?

[velvet summit]

What is the issue that you're facing that requires a solution

[fervent stump]

What did the second pc have though?

[velvet summit]

Weaker components

Normally just an average cpu and a low end GPU with nvenc or such

[paper verge]

@fervent stump https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LPcCN6

[velvet summit]

Streaming is relatively light

Can even do it on a mini pc

[fervent stump]

What’s that looks like my build?

[velvet summit]

Oh yeah also a capture card

Those are the main differences

[paper verge]

ok so my build has

• worse cpu
• no clue about aio but doubt it being any worse
• better ram
• better looking mobo

wait wtf

[fervent stump]

Do I need a gpu?

[paper verge]

how does my build suck so much

[velvet summit]

Technically, no, but you would want one

[paper verge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qz9T28

oh my build doesn't suck you dont even have an aio

lol

[fervent stump]

So the pc would be like 1k

[paper verge]

wait so do you want to stream?

[velvet summit]

Nah

[fervent stump]

500

[paper verge]

your 7900xtx can do that breh

[velvet summit]

Low end GPU is enough
All you're using is the hardware encoder

Also yeah ^ main reason why dual PC setups are not used as often

[paper verge]

if you want something overkill pick a a750

[velvet summit]

Single tower streaming is good enough nowadays

[fervent stump]

Alright

[paper verge]

btw this aoc monitor that you picked

thats gotta be a scam

[fervent stump]

How?

[paper verge]

$600 for 27" 240mhz

lmfao

[fervent stump]

17k reviews

[fervent stump]

On a different site it’s like 800

[opaque sedge]

Not even oled?

[paper verge]

ive never heard of aoc in my life

[paper verge]

it is oled but not the best response time

[velvet summit]

AOC is a budget ish monitor brand

I've used their monitors before, they'd decent

You get what you pay for

[opaque sedge]

Their 300 dollar miniled is rather popular

[fervent stump]

So is that monitor good?

[velvet summit]

You get what you pay for
Pay less then it's less good

how did you manage to find such a bad monitor?

400 cheaper and its the same

Oled monitors dont come cheap unfortunately

They’re a premium product

[fervent stump]

I get that but I don’t want one for like 1k

[proud jackal]

wish i had an oled

[opaque sedge]

Well gotta look for sales then an lg one was 600 a couple weeks ago at best buy

[velvet summit]

So you get what you pay for
Cheap mid product

[sweet phoenix]

$555

[paper verge]

btw oled isn't gonna suddenly change your life experience

just go for cheaper qled monitors

[sweet phoenix]

An oled is an oled. There's very few panels out right now, and they are all very similar. Brand of the monitor itself is irrelevant

[opaque sedge]

Lucky u looks like its still in a decent price

[velvet summit]

Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3 is probably like 800 if I do my mental conversion

[sweet phoenix]

Cheaper?

[opaque sedge]

Not sure abt this particular model

[sweet phoenix]

Where.

[opaque sedge]

Lg has different oleds i think

[sweet phoenix]

Still $100 more than the one I linked above

[fervent stump]

It’s just im getting a 4080s and want good quality monitor

[opaque sedge]

Wbt the ktc one? With the prime coupons should be under 600 too right?

[sweet phoenix]

Sometimes

[opaque sedge]

I remember felix glazing those

[sweet phoenix]

Because 1440p 240hz oleds are all near identical

There's like two or three panels that are used in every oled 1440p240 monitor

Which is why the model of oled doesn't matter at the moment

[opaque sedge]

Damn lol and wbt burn ins? I remember felix saying under 350 nits of brightness burn in shouldn’t be a problem

[sweet phoenix]

I trust felix

I trust Felix's word above mine most of the time lmao

[velvet summit]

Under 350 is kinda dim though

Well, plenty for dark rooms at least

[sweet phoenix]

Most of the other techies have more in depth knowledge than I do

[opaque sedge]

Felix could probably convince you to buy intel stock cuz its low rn

[sweet phoenix]

Uhhh... no

I do plan to buy some intel stock while it's down, just not right now

Not a ton, just $100-200 or so

also you could also not go straight for a 60%

10 key is life

you could use anything like 100%, tkl, 75%, 60, etc.

pick the size you want

What’s ummm no keypad?

tkl

[keen shale]

What

[velvet summit]

100% includes numpad
tkl or... i believe it's called 80%? doesnt have a numpad but has everything else

Do they have some with a volume slider

[keen shale]

Ya, TKL is ten keyless

some

[fervent stump]

Do you recommend any?

I wanna find a white keyboard I can make blue and has a volume slider

I think my discord broke

Keychron

Any of the knob versions

I think they have a few with the slider thing

Lemme check

[velvet summit]

white keyboard you can make blue?

why not just buy a blue keyboard

[opaque sedge]

Prolly talking about the rgb

[worthy meteor]

Guess they're all knob? Thought there was a slider one

I think keychron is knob only

Either knob or no knob actually

yea they were definitely doing something experimental with that

very chonky roller

also 4 media keys which is fun

Ngl imagine scrolling pages with that

[worthy meteor]

would be great lol

[opaque sedge]

Yeah exactly

U would feel like that tech guy you see in movies

[worthy meteor]

yea I hope they start adding that to more models

[fervent stump]

So I can’t put stuff on it?

[opaque sedge]

Yeah also creative controls or smth for games

[worthy meteor]

you can put black and white stuff if you want

maybe small text

[fervent stump]

No custom pictures??

[worthy meteor]

custom black and white picture maybe

[fervent stump]

Ok :c

I can put my cat

[sinful blade]

@fervent stump you could probably put a custom image or something on a jonsbo d41 case, or a y70

Small image on the jonsbo
Tall on the y70

[fervent stump]

I don’t want a case with a screen since I’m getting a aio with one

this would be how it looks if you turned this image into 128x40 and black and white only

[fervent stump]

it's tiny, and it's black and white only, best used for text, not good for images

[fervent stump]

Gray won’t work?

I want to find one with a good screen

[worthy meteor]

everything I can see is black and white only

best to just add your own
