[spark halo]

You get a case with a backup battery

[storm narwhal]

also hilarious that they've only recently implemented charging limits

[nocturne flicker]

Oh yeah, it is 10pm and normal people don't go about their day at this time. I forgor

[mighty hazel]

I run it with a case most of the time

[mighty hazel]

[nocturne flicker]

[mighty hazel]

🧛‍♂️

[spark halo]

Yeah i barely acknowledged mine today

[mighty hazel]

Happy b day

[nocturne flicker]

This year I went to work for my birthday

[storm narwhal]

HOLD ON

[spark halo]

Your just realizing what im doing…

[sinful blade]

What is wrong with Minnesota

[storm narwhal]

APPLE DOESN'T LET YOU USE SHORTCUTS TO LIMIT MAXIMUM CHARGE???

[fervent stump]

lol

[storm narwhal]

Aint no WAY BRO

[fervent stump]

Noob

[mighty hazel]

HA

[sinful blade]

Who calls doing donuts whipping shi**ies?

[storm narwhal]

THAT'S ACTUALLY STUPID

[fervent stump]

Just do this

[sinful blade]

Why would you want to limit your phone being charged

What

[mighty hazel]

Mines still on iOS 15 holy -

[nocturne flicker]

To prevent battery degredation

[storm narwhal]

So when i charge overnight i limit it to 80%?

[mighty hazel]

80% sweet spot

[fervent stump]

💀

Get 18

[storm narwhal]

and only in the wee hours of the morning i let it charge to 100%

[mighty hazel]

Isn’t it still on beta

[storm narwhal]

then for the rest of the day it only charges to 80% max

[fervent stump]

Yea

[storm narwhal]

all without me lifting a finger

BECAUSE I CAN SET MY PHONE TO DO THAT ON A SCHEDULE

[mighty hazel]

Idk if I want to use a beta on my main phone

[sinful blade]

I’m over here with an iPhone 11 pro

[fervent stump]

I did bc I have nothing to lose

[fervent stump]

😭

[mighty hazel]

I wonder if my old iPhone 7 can run it 💀

[storm narwhal]

optimized charging i never trust

I'll set it up once myself and never have to think about it again

[spark halo]

I figured out how to finally reload paypal with cash in store today

After staring at the app for 30 mins

Before going into the store

Looking like a idiot in the store

[storm narwhal]

also because if for a few nights my sleep schedule has to change I can actually just turn off my routines

or modify them so that they match what i need

[spark halo]

Then on the ride home realizing what went wrong

You need a debit card with paypal for the code to actually generate

You cant simply go into a store and ask them too upload to your paypal

Nor can you do it without the paypal debit card

[opaque sedge]

Anybody got any game recs with a similar melee combat system to cyberpunk?

[craggy shoal]

No

Wait

Ffs

It's the beta

[fervent stump]

What can go wrong

[spark halo]

I mean if its a beta could have underlining issues

[craggy shoal]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=why+shouldnt+I+install+ios+18+beta

[mortal grail]

Danielle have you ever met someone called Kenzie

[fervent stump]

Nope

[craggy shoal]

"Get iOS 18 Beta on your main phone" and defending that you should this hard is honestly the stupidest thing I’ve read this year

[spark halo]

There is a reason id been avoiding asking that same question

[fervent stump]

😭

[silver sparrow]

whats wrong with getting the beta? other than the potential bugs and glitches

[craggy shoal]

I just put BBS wheels on a Prius in Gran Turismo

Kenzie part 2

[fervent stump]

Who is that

[storm narwhal]

"I'm gonna spend all my savings on a 3090 cause i want to" aah moment

[spark halo]

The Kenzing is upon us

https://tenor.com/view/end-homer-simpson-the-end-is-near-sign-guy-simpsons-gif-10822004

[storm narwhal]

then sell it under price and buy a much worse pc-

[silver sparrow]

just finance the gpu smh

[storm narwhal]

was that what happened?

[craggy shoal]

I still remember that photo he sent of his computer that just had a couple of hard drives at the bottom of the case (unsecured) and he asked "guys why won't my computer boot" 💀😭

[silver sparrow]

probably not

[storm narwhal]

i forget already lol

I remember financing the gpu was definitely considered

[silver sparrow]

i financed my gpu, got some credit from it i guess

[storm narwhal]

but it was a terrible financing option

and it took so much effort to get them away from that choice lmao

[silver sparrow]

spending all the savings on a gpu is a horrible idea

but also if we are talking 3090, we are talking gpu resale crisis

[storm narwhal]

barely had enough to eat deadass lol

[silver sparrow]

which, for that i litterally bought a like 1000$ bundle that had a 3070 in it lmao

i used all the parts

[fervent stump]

Me too my stomach hurts badly

[silver sparrow]

so wasnt a loss for me, and allowed me to build my server pc

[mortal grail]

💀💀💀

[storm narwhal]

i mean they could barely afford food-

[silver sparrow]

who needs food when you got fps

[storm narwhal]

true

[mighty hazel]

Oh nah

That was the dude that paid 4 or 5 grand to get a 4090 prebuilt cuz he didn’t want to wait for restock right

[storm narwhal]

WAS IT A 4090??

i think that was it LOL

[mighty hazel]

Yeah I think so

They were all sold out for months

[storm narwhal]

OH YEAH IT WAS got the prebuilt sold it way under paying price cause they slapped their current gpu in it

and was like yeah i did good guys

[mortal grail]

And sent it back

[mighty hazel]

[mortal grail]

Then tried to buy it again but was broke

Also sold a 3090 pc

[mighty hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/parks-and-rec-parks-and-recreation-tommy-mad-want-gif-3294402

[mortal grail]

Then bought a 3080 ti* laptop

[storm narwhal]

all my memories of this saga are jumbled fr

[mortal grail]

Then complained that the laptop was too hot when it was covered in bedsheets

[mighty hazel]

Wasn’t he broke 💀

[mortal grail]

I'm only meme'ing btw

[mortal grail]

In debt

[mighty hazel]

I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true

[silver sparrow]

who isnt in debt

[storm narwhal]

nah he was definitely in debt

i member

[mighty hazel]

O I think I remember. I was saying how expensive 3080s were and he said donate blood plasma, ez money

[storm narwhal]

YEAH THAT

[mortal grail]

It only took like 6 or more PC's before they ran out of buying power

[mighty hazel]

6 💀

[mortal grail]

It was a lot

They did several laptops, multiple gaming pc's, a couple were prebuilt

[storm narwhal]

both in terms of hardware and just insanity

[silver sparrow]

are you really living if you arent in like 60k in debt

[keen shale]

60k...... Wait until you buy a house

[mortal grail]

Yeah but imagine that as specifically pc debt and then you have kenzie

[silver sparrow]

bro i wanna be in your timeline, buying a house is a option for you?

[keen shale]

And also breaking it all the time

[mortal grail]

It was honestly a huge number, I remember hearing about it

9k or more

I may have the messages somewhere

[silver sparrow]

bruh

i only went like 1k in debt with my gpu

[mighty hazel]

😭

[silver sparrow]

and thats the most ill ever go

[mighty hazel]

I didn’t think people bought pcs on credit

[silver sparrow]

most ive ever spent on a single part

[mighty hazel]

I almost spent my savings on a gpu during the shortage but decided not to

Was like 1300 bucks

• the other parts obv

[silver sparrow]

i did not want to drop a grand from my checking on it, i had the money, but id rather have fluid money, than try to rely on credit to save my ass

dropping that much money is scary for me unless its something i specificly planned out in time with my pay

[storm narwhal]

the amount of stuff that broke lmao

god, how could i have forgotten

yanks hardware while pc is running

"I though it'd be fine!!!" even tho we said it would not be

[mighty hazel]

I mean I probably should’ve. It was a lot of money but like 3 years gaming

[storm narwhal]

meanwhile kenzie relied entirely on credit that was paid back with the minimum amount

because we all know that's a good idea

[silver sparrow]

i mean, for the most part thats just a way to lose a ton of money on interest. doesnt hurt your credit, doesnt really do a whole lot of building either

[storm narwhal]

it's effectively just sucking your money away with interest yeah

definitely not gonna build credit at all

[silver sparrow]

its a set amount of interest though at least, its determined and usually can be shown before you make the decision to loan out the money, unless you are using a credit card.... you are screwed if you use a credit card

[keen shale]

Only people with no self control get in trouble with credit cards.

Discipline thyself

[mortal grail]

Found them

[storm narwhal]

same goes for people who invest 85% of their inheritance on intel stocks-

[mortal grail]

For respect of their privacy, I will only say, higher.

[storm narwhal]

jesus

[mortal grail]

This was pc debt

[storm narwhal]

that's very bad

[mortal grail]

Only pc debt

[storm narwhal]

yep

sure was

[silver sparrow]

me looking at that wonderful 3.5k on the best buy credit card

me looking at that 29% interest rate 💀

i would never use it, its suicide by interest

[mortal grail]

That's exactly the kind of thing they fell for

[keen shale]

nDeed

[silver sparrow]

litterally 84$ a month if you maxed it, and considering min payments is like 30, you are screwed

[keen shale]

My cc is fixed 9.9 from my cu.

[silver sparrow]

unless your me, and get a fancy dancy no interest payment on a quest 3

keeps some credit usage, with none of the downsides, and i get to keep a monthlypayment thing going for like 2 years which over time boosts credit? where are the losses i dont see any

[mortal grail]

You need credit history for mortgages yes

[silver sparrow]

look ok i need a home, and having the strongest credit score possible is my best chance of actually owning it one day

[mortal grail]

Small easy loans are good methods

[storm narwhal]

5 million dollars for a 1x1 square foot apartment

[mortal grail]

But there's always some way to make them have you pay

[keen shale]

Gas credit card only works at gas station

[mortal grail]

So you essentially buy credit rating

[storm narwhal]

but it's okay, with galvanized square steel and eco friendly wood verneer-

[keen shale]

Limits your spending

[silver sparrow]

my housing market is screweeeeed, screw you californians for moving into my state, why would you even want to live here

[silver sparrow]

my type of back to school party

[craggy shoal]

yes

[keen shale]

Lawd I hate wireless plans

Get a text, big discounts on Pixel 9

ONly if you upgrade to the highest tier plan they have -_-

[tranquil pebble]

Meanwhile me on a discount service that doesnt send me that nonsense...

[keen shale]

Gonna keep my 6 Pro for a while

[storm narwhal]

and it's their lowest end pixel 9 too

[keen shale]

Nah, Pro XL

Big boy

[tranquil pebble]

Took a OnePlus and put it on StraightTalk. Zero problems.

[storm narwhal]

oh wow

okay that's a little better LOL

[keen shale]

Not really

I'll do like I did before, find an unlocked deal and activate it for free

[storm narwhal]

that's the way to go

[keen shale]

Ya, pay cash, keep same plan

[idle nexus]

any suggestions for really cheap headphones for kids that (preferably) don't suck?

[mortal grail]

Ksc75x

[idle nexus]

might just get the heckin same Sony ones

[idle nexus]

kinda want over-ear tho

[tranquil pebble]

really cheap, dont suck... generally you only get one of those two

[north crescent]

I think SH's HD 4.40BT are cheap?

[tranquil pebble]

getting refurb on ebay may get it closer though

[idle nexus]

he had these last year but the cable on them is so trash https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-ZX310AP-Headband-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00IKYI6FO/ref=sr_1_4_pp?

I know that's a dumb thing to criticize for but I'm talking like almost gauranteed to break level trash cable lol

[keen shale]

Those things are like hairs!

so tiny

[idle nexus]

I think he might be required to get wired tbh

[tranquil pebble]

kinda like some Apple cables

[mortal grail]

That is over ear

[keen shale]

Don't use Apple so wouldn't know lol

[north crescent]

iirc wired and BT wireless

[mortal grail]

Ksc75x is over ear

[idle nexus]

lol he uses Arctis Nova 7p at home

[mortal grail]

I'm wearing them rn

[idle nexus]

has better headphones than me dammit

[craggy shoal]

damb chat got revived right when I get off my PC

[tranquil pebble]

Sennheiser HD 660S here

[idle nexus]

maybe cuz non-x version & USA Amazon

[mortal grail]

Non x is basically the same

[keen shale]

Over the ear earbud style, interesting

[idle nexus]

oh right I meant more like DJ looking ones lol

[craggy shoal]

Late 2000s elementary school headphones ahh

[mortal grail]

Koss porta pros

Same thing but dj style

[idle nexus]

like Arctis wahtever I have or the 7p one he has

[storm narwhal]

retro and DJ

they're pretty cool

and sound too good for their price

[idle nexus]

lol I had those Sony ones that kinda looked like that but connected to each other with a plastic thing behind your head with my walkman

ya I'm that many years old

[mortal grail]

Yes I had similar ones

For cheap over ear these are about as good as it gets imo

[idle nexus]

I saw a couple websites recommend Altec. Besides the Sony there are also JBLs around that price but my guess is all are garbage

my last pair of JBL headphones were awful

JBL fell off worse than Intel

lol

[mortal grail]

JVC used to make great ear clip ones

Idk about now

[idle nexus]

Are skull candy any good?

I had some in ear ones for the gym way back when. They were okay ig

[mortal grail]

The worst

💀

[idle nexus]

that was my last pair of in-ear headphones. I decided never again lol

[north crescent]

I use Sony WH XM4. Not even that ideal for ANC unless you like buying parts from china and repairing headset yourself. The ANC mics are filled with oil (for sound absorption?) that leaks over a few years. Then when mics are oil free, your ear will become a useless mound of flesh when using ANC (high pitch sound of death).

[mortal grail]

Skull candy are for those who want bass

Oh, you want mids and treble?

No we don't sell those

[storm narwhal]

wait there's oil in the ANC mics??

why not balls like in phones lmao

[idle nexus]

lol I'll get some overpriced mehs by Dre

[north crescent]

That is for increasing sound, like putting phone in cup. Not reducing sound like what ANC mic needs (I think?)

[idle nexus]

these headphones are gonna be used for things like doing iReady on school PC so really the only things they need to do are (1) work & (2) not look ridiculous so other kids talk crap cuz kids are ruthless lol

[north crescent]

Based on the fact that it's insanely easy for mics to get a feedback loop when they arent filled with oil, I am inclined to believe oil is for sound absorption.

[idle nexus]

hence the Sonys. Have you ever seen something more generic than this?

[mortal grail]

Yeah koss porta pros

Sorry I'm in a bit of a roast mood

[idle nexus]

ig those do get shiny on the side

[mortal grail]

💀

[idle nexus]

lol all good

I've almost finished putting together Z690 Unify-X/13600K/TeamGroup 5600 build to see if I can get that borked CPU at least stable-ish

man if you wanna know if an Intel CPU is unstable, try Palworld or anything else on Unreal Engine

[idle nexus]

$5.50 lol

[storm narwhal]

or just try starfield the loading simulator

enough load screens probably cause the cpu to be unstable

[idle nexus]

lol Starfield

I played that mediocre game so much

I checked Nexus recently to see if there was any reason to go back but there don't appear to be any mods that make it not suck

it's just a giant void of nothingness for the most part

which is accurate as far as space goes & what not but still boring

[craggy shoal]

Is it still buggy and stuttery?

[idle nexus]

I haven't played in a very long time tbh

plus it's always hard for me to tell cuz I end up using so many mods that I dunno what to blame

[craggy shoal]

Oh my bad I didn’t read the two messages above that one lmao

[idle nexus]

the ship I spent a LOT of time on is pretty bad ass in my opinion tho lol

[storm narwhal]

that's what they were going for so...

mission accomplished?

[keen shale]

Was shipbuilding something they added? Can't remember it's been so long. Or am I thinking of NMS?

[storm narwhal]

I think it was in the game from the start?

[idle nexus]

my last screenshot was 1/23/2024 so it's been like 6 months

ya ship building was a major part of it

[storm narwhal]

probably one of the very few fun things about it lol

[keen shale]

Ah, I was thinking of NMS then

[storm narwhal]

mfw when you build a square ship with a hollow centre and become invincible

[idle nexus]

there were mods that you could build your own star stations already by the time I stopped playing

[keen shale]

I remember that

[mortal grail]

Those look like they might even be the same speakers

Ong

[idle nexus]

I might be able to get back into it but meh

[keen shale]

your hitbox is in the middle and they can't hit you

[storm narwhal]

genius coding

AAA quality coding frfr

[idle nexus]

I'll wait like another year when there's like entirely new crap like Fallout 4

after awhile I got bored & started copying the massive ships that are in the game

the problem is there's really nothing worth doing after main quest

except pseudo-prestige mode where you start over

I also remember my game being kinda borked where the mission with the people who showed up by the planet with a hotel on it wouldn't progress

I tried destroying the pirates & I tried joining them & both were just kinda boring in the end

Fallout 4's settlement building can be annoying as heck sometimes but Starfield's is just sooo boring

like okay... I made another base that's nearly identical to the other 20... now what

I even did the FDR/Amelia Earhart/Cleopatra or whatever random mission & it was just kinda stupid

[misty sparrow]

Isn’t the point of a space game to explore and discover the unknown? What’s the point if the unknown is completely boring?

[idle nexus]

there was nothing left but to go to every solar system & explore any planet with life signs on it

[idle nexus]

it's more interesting if it stays unknown frankly. So many planets were like different environment but buildings, bases, etc. were just copy & pasted

you can only have fun building ships for so long even with mods & m-class modules (the giant heckin things usually only the NPCs can have)

[storm narwhal]

yeah unfortunately once you discover the unknown is literally nothing

loses all of it's charm

[misty sparrow]

You know it’s bad when I see a Reddit post titled “I thought Starfield was good until I played Mass Effect”

[storm narwhal]

oh god yeah

that's really bad

[misty sparrow]

I read the whole thing

The guy’s right, Starfield completely fails at world building

[idle nexus]

there's so little game in an insanely large environment

again, like space, but still wth lol

[misty sparrow]

It’s like a wide lake that’s only about two feet deep

[idle nexus]

lol & had like 3 species of fish, a turtle, & 1 crab in it

I've played Palworld lately. It's kinda cool but I'm not in love with it

I'm waiting for Fallout London to be patched into next gen FO4 update

[storm narwhal]

me when they use "realism" as an excuse to put no content in the game

[idle nexus]

supposedly there are many issues & I really don't wanna do the hassle of downgrading & breaking most of the 531 mods I have installed

[storm narwhal]

they're finally adding vehicles I think I heard?

[misty sparrow]

mfw they try using the “realism” excuse when the game is sci-fi

[idle nexus]

even tho I'm kinda at a place with FO4 that there isn't much to do anymore

[misty sparrow]

You’ll eventually move on to the next game

get bored with one, switch to another

[rancid juniper]

"i want my game to be real"

game becomes boring as hell

[idle nexus]

don't they get it? we play games to escape real lmao

I'd play older Fallout games but they just look terrible

not the story or anything--the graphics

[rancid juniper]

player expectations now are unreal

[misty sparrow]

I’m fine with the graphics but they didn’t really age well in todays world

Especially FNV

[idle nexus]

fair but some games make it

[rancid juniper]

that and the performance requirements are atrocious

[rancid juniper]

thats some

[idle nexus]

CyberPunk was heckin good

[misty sparrow]

Requirements are bad even with performance patches

[rough zinc]

There are a lot of modpacks on vortex that completely overhaul the graphics

[rancid juniper]

and even if they did i know it placed a huge DENT on their dev costs

[idle nexus]

to at least FO4 levels?

[rancid juniper]

fr lmfao

[rough zinc]

Ill send a SS in a second since im playing through FO3 rn

[storm narwhal]

Real

[idle nexus]

that's another thing I've found myself doing that's probably not good

[rancid juniper]

ill just say Style >>>>> graphics anyday

[storm narwhal]

Cyberpunk had good environments and a nice story with lots of side quests

[idle nexus]

before I play a game, I see how many mods are available on Nexus for it lol

[misty sparrow]

and this is why Halo CE still looks good twenty years later

[rancid juniper]

gameplay comes first

[rancid juniper]

yea, heckin fun MP

[idle nexus]

Cyberpunk was smart to throw Keanu in there & dude from the Office lol

[misty sparrow]

Halo CE had no reason to age so well

[idle nexus]

I'd give Fallout 76 a try but I don't wanna play a heckin giant multiplayer game

[storm narwhal]

They better not screw up the remake of CE bro

[rough zinc]

Its not as good as FO4 but its still a lot better than base game

[misty sparrow]

They will

It’s 343

[storm narwhal]

Yeah...

[rough zinc]

You can easily play through it singleplayer, its what ive been doing now

[rancid juniper]

wait what??? CE IS GETTING A REMAKE???

[storm narwhal]

But we still gotta be loud enough they hopefully hear us

[misty sparrow]

Apparently it’s in Unreal

[storm narwhal]

Thank god

Not in slipspace

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-a-hell-nah-spongebob-no-meme-gif-23205156

[idle nexus]

that does look better but how do people & creatures look?

[storm narwhal]

But then anything is better than slipspace engine

[rancid juniper]

game is gonna make the pc scream once again

[idle nexus]

it's possible to play without other people?? lol

[rancid juniper]

i mean on the other hand its a good thing since learning UE5 is a standard now

[idle nexus]

UE is in Microsoft Visual Studio

[rough zinc]

Well there are other people but its all really just PVE and you can easily ignore them

[rancid juniper]

but dang, the use of proprietary engines is slowly fading away

[storm narwhal]

They won't need to spend like 80% of their time learning the engine-

[idle nexus]

I installed it earlier cuz I was gonna mess with Palworld since GamePass version has some IO thing that makes .pak mods not work

but I got distracted

[rancid juniper]

honestly thats on MS for cutting costs and switching between contractors mid development

[storm narwhal]

Oh 1000%

And forcing a contract style development yeah

[idle nexus]

MS: (1) buy game studio; (2) fire everyone; (3) ; (4) profit

[storm narwhal]

And putting kiki wolfkill in charge

That was an awful move

She killed both the game and the TV show

[rancid juniper]

Tango gameworks moment

[idle nexus]

I wanna see if that FTC ban on NCAs shakes up videogame market

well, to what extent rather

or maybe no games will ever get finished since people will get mad, get a better offer, & walk

[rough zinc]

@idle nexus not the best pictures since hard to get them not moving around

[idle nexus]

that really doesn't look worse than FO4 tbh

[rough zinc]

Its only about an extra 10-15GB of mods too

[wary fjord]

Have u tried if rtx remix works well in amd

[idle nexus]

damn that's not bad. Wanna see something crazy? This drive is ONLY FO4

[wary fjord]

Rtx remix is like a modern enb

[rough zinc]

Goddamn

[rancid juniper]

no never did

[rough zinc]

Id also give FO76 a try if I were you, it pretty much is a singleplayer game with the option for multiplayer

[craggy shoal]

Fallout 4: 30GB

[rancid juniper]

enb, old ah graphics mod

[wary fjord]

It says it works on any rt card let me know if its good install the hl2 mod for it

[rancid juniper]

you know that RDNA 2/3 RT runs like doodoo fart

[rough zinc]

My FO3 folder

[idle nexus]

I had no idea. I figured it was like World of Warcraft or something. Don't they want you to pay monthly for FO76?

[rough zinc]

Nah theres a monthly subscription but its not necessary

[idle nexus]

lol heck I need to clean up a bit

[rough zinc]

Its only really for cosmetics and a private server

[idle nexus]

the thing is tho like some guns alone are nuts

[rancid juniper]

but ill try it soon

[rough zinc]

Some events can end up being like world of warcraft but theres still a lot of content to do singleplayer

[wary fjord]

Wow is full of bots

[rough zinc]

Probably can get 50ish hours of content before the grind actually starts imo

[idle nexus]

The 4k SIG MCX Virtus main files alone are 2.96gb

[idle nexus]

ngl I never played WOW lol

I kinda wanna play Alan Wake 2 but eh

I was looking into it earlier

you know GTA V is one of the best games to take advantage of SLI? lol

FO4 also

[storm narwhal]

That's wild

[idle nexus]

I'm gonna try it on 2x1080ti at some point

well FO4

I don't own GTA V & it's old enough that I'll just wait for 6

then again that could be in 203x

it's so annoying that GamePass & Steam versions of the same game are different

[rough zinc]

You ever see that 4x SLI GT710 video on GTAV?

I forgot who made it tho

[sinful blade]

Go make oblivion look like Skyrim

[nocturne flicker]

Let me introduce you to the exploring in Elite Dangerous

Everything has already been discovered by somebody and it is just hopping systems and spending 5 or so minutes scanning in each. Probably how it would be in a realisticish space exploration scifi world

And since there is little to no depth in anything in Elite Dangerous, you'll just be scanning the exact same planets over and over and over and over again until you just give up and start hopping around to find the more valuable planets

[proud jackal]

game doesnt want to do full ray tracing

[lone mango]

I got under 60fps at 1080p high with fsr at the default 66% or whatever it was at

Did not look good because upscaling at 1080p is not good

Turned up the slider to 80 and put it on medium. The game still looked grainy and fuzzy at the same time while getting 62 fps

Oh actually I used xess

Still

The game is rendering below 1080p bruh

How is it barely cracking 60fps

I think they are using upscaling as a crutch

[proud jackal]

most devs are

[storm narwhal]

that's the unfortunate state of graphics rn

[lone mango]

People like upscaling at first because it helped people get more out of games. That’s what it seems like to me at least

Seems like that is not the case anymore

[storm narwhal]

that was what it was meant to do

[lone mango]

The duality of upscaling

[sinful blade]

You mean the game with 17 million buttons and menus upon submenus?

[elfin mural]

now we're on copium frame gen

i was sleeping. but nah, i don't think so

[nocturne flicker]

You can literally play it with a gamepad

It may look like a lot but it has the depth of a small puddle

[sinful blade]

I had a friend who would talk to me about it years ago

He said the learning curve was just the menu

[nocturne flicker]

I haven't played in about 2 years, but I don't remember having much problems with the menus

I think the most bleh menu part is the map

Cause there are a ton of ways of sorting out the map

Doesn't change the fact that 99% of it is just random star system number 1209393878 with a couple of icy rocks

[sinful blade]

Btw, asked him for model, hasn’t responded yet

[nocturne flicker]

Then you got a sphere of inhabited planets near Earth and another cluster over on literally the other side of the galaxy

Which to reasonably get there you have to do a special type of jump around a certain type of star or something, I don't remember

[sinful blade]

I think I’m gonna steer away from playing it just because I know my brain will get fried

I’m barely able to play Star Trek online

[nocturne flicker]

The space stuff in ST O is basically spam buttons until win

[sinful blade]

That’s what I’m good at

It’s why I’m terrible at fighting games

[nocturne flicker]

Line up certain buttons on the UI for maximal efficiency and just do it

Full spread torpedo go brrrr

Maybe I should play it again, see what has changed. I haven't played in like 3 years

[sinful blade]

Instead, go play forager

Start your 6 month addiction

[nocturne flicker]

You expect me to buy a game?

🚨#BREAKING: Every American's Social Security number may have been stolen in a new major hack, with over 2.7 billion records allegedly compromised from National Public Data. The stolen information includes Social Security numbers and physical addresses

[nocturne flicker]

https://www.troyhunt.com/inside-the-3-billion-people-national-public-data-breach/

Chill, it seems to be largely random info, mix matched and a lot of duplicates

Afterall, there isn't 2.9 billion people in the US

If you notice suspicious activity with CCs or stuff like that, then panik

[elfin mural]

^

[fervent stump]

Can I like search my stuff there?

[nocturne flicker]

Not for SSNs. The guy who runs the blog runs Have I Been Pwned, which can tell you if your email was part of a data breach and what the breach entailed

[storm narwhal]

Imagine you could search your SSN

Enormous vulnerability there

[fervent stump]

Oh alright well I don’t think I have to worry since I don’t really use my email

[velvet summit]

if you made online accounts with your email, then you should worry about securing your account

if you lose access to your email, then you might lose access to your online accounts eventually as well once they log out or you switch devices

[storm narwhal]

Which is pretty much everything you've ever had an online account with...

Not sure what the logic was there lol

Of course, unless you actually don't have any online accounts at all and email is simply just a method of communication or something

Then yeah, I wouldn't worry too

[velvet summit]

why would anybody use email when you could just send a telegram

[storm narwhal]

Why telegram when pigeon

[fervent stump]

Oh ok so far I’ve been fine I think

[opaque sedge]

check #tech-deals i think bacca linked a few pc's around that price recently

[rapid fulcrum]

Guys can my gigabyte b450 ds3h matx run a r9 5950x?

[craggy shoal]

[mortal grail]

Nope

[iron lynx]

What is the best processor it can run with the MO bo

[mortal grail]

5700X-ish

Anything with a 65W tdp

Any higher and it cooks just about

[mortal grail]

Unclear result

AMD is promising a perf boost to all ryzen

But admin also disables a huge amount of telemetry

[craggy shoal]

oh that would make sense

[mortal grail]

So this could be considered akin to debloat

Yeah, it's not clear what it is

That said AMD says they'll improve performance with this so, free perf ig?

[idle nexus]

LOL let AM4 die wth https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-ryzen-5-5500x3d-listing-hints-at-most-affordable-3d-v-cache-cpu-yet-socket-am4-rides-again

[craggy shoal]

Now they just need a 7500X3D to go with it (I bet it actually would be this rather than a 5500X3D)

Yeah there's the 5800/5900 XT but still lol

[opaque sedge]

This is some orochimaru crap right there

[idle nexus]

just turn off half of the CCDs on 7900X3Ds

[craggy shoal]

lolll

[opaque sedge]

Will this actually help with am4 mobo sales tho?

[craggy shoal]

wouldn't that basically make it a 7800X3D?

[idle nexus]

7600X3D

cuz it's 6c per CCD

[craggy shoal]

oh gotcha

Didn't know they were split evenly lol

[idle nexus]

7950X3D is 7800X3D+7800X ig? lol

lol ya 6/6 & IO die I think

oddly, vcache doesn't make it one CCD taller according to der8aur video

[opaque sedge]

Omg it was you

It was u who showed me that grinded out poor 7800x3d

[velvet summit]

Grinded?

You mean lapped?

[opaque sedge]

whatever he did

[idle nexus]

aw heck you don't like my dremel work to make the direct die frame fit X3D?

[opaque sedge]

Stop it

[idle nexus]

kinda looks like this emoji 😈

[wind quail]

Got an ad for pixel 9 (up to 800€ trade in) so thought to myself may as well see what they're offering.....

Broooo

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pain-gif-25934677

[idle nexus]

worth it

[keen shale]

Got the same one. Found out you had to upgrade to the top tier plan and nope out

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

That is

Ice cold

[wind quail]

Nope, this was regardless of plan, and I'm in Ireland 😅

[keen shale]

I know where you are

[idle nexus]

heck I thought I had benchmate installed

[wind quail]

https://tenor.com/view/life-stalk-searching-anthony-anderson-gif-14522343637151142589

[keen shale]

My carrier is doing the same thing

But not worth

[craggy shoal]

lol

[wind quail]

Oh well mine was it regardless of plan

Just straight up daylight robbery lol

Like not even 50 quid, but 8

[idle nexus]

on an unrelated note, can we finally stop the whole "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" folders differentiation plz. I hate that

[keen shale]

I'm just gonna get an unlocked phone like I did last time

[wind quail]

You know there's a very obvious reason for the separation

32 bit goes into the x86

[idle nexus]

yes but I still don't like it lol

[wind quail]

Welp complain to ms

[idle nexus]

who does this benefit? like when do you need to know?

[wind quail]

I'm sure it's for legacy reasons

[idle nexus]

oh wait ya I do have benchmate installed

[elfin mural]

eight..

oh my god

i'd buy one for 180 still, easily lmao

[idle nexus]

I don't get it

my CPU ran R23 to 82.5% of Thermal; 47% TDC; 37% EDC; & 12.4% of PPT limits

[craggy shoal]

my 7900X is catching up

[idle nexus]

why not keep boosting

PBO is at max

damn I really gotta do core offset magnitudes ig

[mortal grail]

Why's ur power so bleh

[craggy shoal]

I did PBO Eco and set my curve balance to a lower value and it helped me more than max PBO

[mortal grail]

I feel like that should be 140w

[idle nexus]

dunno. Also, I dropped back down to 6200c28 cuz I started getting bugchk

ig I should try 6200c26 or something to make me feel better about it

[mortal grail]

Man wish I could get bugchecks

My system started locking up this arvo, zero indicator to why it did

[idle nexus]

it kinda makes more sense in light of my FCLK limits tho

new ZenTimings colors are bananas

well I chose that one

"Dracula" sounds cool but is too easter egg to me

retro wave? eh

[idle nexus]

burnt orange is kinda okay but I'll stop spamming

[idle nexus]

In any event, isn't 2066 the right FCLK for 3100 M/UCLK anyway?

[mortal grail]

Depends who you talk to

I consider it placebo

[idle nexus]

igor running 1.4 SOC https://www.igorslab.de/en/ryzen-7000-tuning-guide-infinity-fabric-expo-dual-rank-samsung-and-hynix-ddr5-in-practice-test-with-benchmarks-recommendations/6/

[mortal grail]

Yeah we don't if we don't want to electromigrate the soc

Lol

1.4 is old numbers

Before the die cracking was discovered

[idle nexus]

I'm under 1.3 lol

[mortal grail]

As it should be

[idle nexus]

looking at this tho, I might try bumping VDDG voltages

dammit why doesn't HWiNFO have a Ctrl+F yet

[idle nexus]

nothing in Event Viewer?

[craggy shoal]

man I should upgrade lol (this is idle and I know that I just need to optimize my Windows installation lmao)

[idle nexus]

I was occasionally getting volsnp or whatever too

[craggy shoal]

I want 64GB

[idle nexus]

this is with pages locked in memory & compression disabled

[craggy shoal]

I want to fill my motherboard with four sticks lol

[keen shale]

is it AMD or Intel?

AMD oofs with 4 sticks

[craggy shoal]

see I could do the same but I actually have a bunch of services I have to consolidate with other software or otherwise disable

[idle nexus]

two of these is $85x2 now. I use these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CGWFYBXB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[craggy shoal]

Such as Intel's update software. I actually don't even need this anymore because this is now an AMD system lol

[idle nexus]

lmao "idle" wth

[craggy shoal]

And yes this is just the system tray (in case you had to question it lol)

[idle nexus]

close Steelseries GG that's pointless

Intel DSA disable it in startup apps lol

[craggy shoal]

I know lmao I want to find something better but it does what I need for audio

[idle nexus]

I have Arctis uh 5 or something & I dunno if I even installed gg this time

bluetooth just right click & remove icon cuz let's be honest, ya go to settings to add stuff from bluetooth anyway no? lol

what's the AMD looking thing? is that for GPU?

omg Razer

that's what's depleting all your memory

[craggy shoal]

I went back to my Razer mouse so that's why that's there

[idle nexus]

I bet there's like 6-8 processes running for that

I had Razer RGB box & I use OpenRGB to control it cuz the software installed so much bloat

[craggy shoal]

"just use OpenRGB" yeah that crashes my computer for some reason (I think it's software confliction with Armoury Crate. I've only just discovered this and I'm still troubleshooting it)

[keen shale]

Razer uses like ~100 MB of memory

[idle nexus]

Armoury Crate? holy heck

[weak cedar]

8 core to move your mouse 🫡

[idle nexus]

AHHH

[mortal grail]

Good lord debloat your pc

[craggy shoal]

I know I need to delete a lot of stuff on this system 💀

[craggy shoal]

I WILL JUST GIVE ME TIME lollll

[mortal grail]

Bro's idle is my laptops full load ong

[craggy shoal]

working with an ADHD procrastinating brain lmao

[craggy shoal]

bro chill 💀💀💀

I'll get to it I promise

about to have this thing idling at 8GB

[mortal grail]

Bro decided to use the whole processor

[craggy shoal]

Working with a 1.5 y/o Windows installation

[idle nexus]

well ig just buy the 2x32gb cheap Klevs

OC to 62/6400c30 or something

ez

[craggy shoal]

nah I need to debloat

[idle nexus]

lol I reinstall windows at least annually

try these

[mortal grail]

Me pretty much

Except it broke today and idk what's wrong with it rn

[idle nexus]

https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat

[craggy shoal]

I mean yeah a memory upgrade would make sense but I also really should just debloat because 16GB at idle is nuts

[mortal grail]

Me am sadge so pulled out laptop

Fun fact

[craggy shoal]

oh I've already ran this when I installed Windows

do it every time

[idle nexus]

It's a hard decision tbh

[craggy shoal]

I really want a Steel Series Sonar alternative because I don't need all the other Steel Series GG crap

[mortal grail]

If you leave windows out of update too long, it will then tell you that you will update, whether you like it or not

And I want to send this to the press somehow

In a concerningly worded email

[idle nexus]

if I could only choose one out of Razer, Armoury Crate, or Steelgg to remove. Actually I'd remove them in that order of priority

Also

DUDE

[mortal grail]

Just go wdl

[idle nexus]

THREE ONEDRIVES?? lol

[craggy shoal]

that happened to one of my servers yester day lolll. I didn't even know it needed an update. Kuma told me it went offline. I RDP'd in the middle of it updating and I was like "oh okay?"

[mortal grail]

Debloat ur system

[keen shale]

Armoury crate is way worse than Razer

[craggy shoal]

Personal, school #1, school #2 (I should actually disable all of these)

[idle nexus]

I have one that I only open when I need to

at least remove them from startup

[mortal grail]

Counterpoint, WDL beats all other rgb software

[idle nexus]

Thermaltake software is my biggest bloatcrap rn

I disable all of Adobe's awful garbage

[craggy shoal]

I really might need one of the OneDrives given that I currently work there but I should backup the other two and put them on my Nextcloud

[mortal grail]

I don't use any on my main system

[craggy shoal]

good thing I don't use Adobe lol

[mortal grail]

WDL

[idle nexus]

no no no no no no no no no

[mortal grail]

I think my intel rig is the last one to still need something for it

But my laptop and main system use *one single software

[idle nexus]

Send to OneNote?? where'd that crap come from

heckin windows I swear

[opaque sedge]

I dont get it? Is it bloatware?

[mortal grail]

About to swap the 6900xt rig to wdl

[idle nexus]

all that crap that wants to run at startup

[elfin mural]

i use g-hub for my laptop to control everything

no, it's not logitech ghub

[idle nexus]

the heck is wdl

[elfin mural]

it's a reverse engineered armoury crate github project

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah what's that like

[craggy shoal]

nah but real talk. Are there any known conflictions between Armoury Crate and OpenRGB? I'm thinking that's what my issue is after reading some other people complaining on forums. They didn't say specifically Armoury Crate but they all had an Asus motherboard. All other systems I have running OpenRGB don't have Armoury Crate (or even an Asus motherboard)

[mortal grail]

I keep forgetting to try it

[craggy shoal]

sorry for the paragraph lol

[elfin mural]

it's armoury crate but with zero bloat

[mortal grail]

Windows built in rgb control

[elfin mural]

it controls everything in asus laptops

[idle nexus]

oh that works now?

[keen shale]

Armoury Crate is borderline a virus

Remove lol

[mortal grail]

Ya

[craggy shoal]

yo link?

[opaque sedge]

Lol I remember during the first time a windows update funked my system steam kept on trying to start up, but none of my other apps were working and same story for steam, overwhelmed the pc lol

[elfin mural]

charge limits, tdp, fan curve, rgb, display overdrive and refresh

[idle nexus]

I think you need a program to effectively remove armoury crate lol

[elfin mural]

lemme find the link

[mortal grail]

You can use wdl instead of both if you don't have too much random rgb crap

[idle nexus]

LOL https://rog.asus.com/articles/guides/how-to-cleanly-uninstall-and-reinstall-armoury-crate/

[craggy shoal]

I know but RGB

[elfin mural]

wait i meant g-helper

https://github.com/seerge/g-helper

here

[craggy shoal]

that sounds like it's for Logitech devices

[opaque sedge]

Yuck

[mortal grail]

Ya I was a bit confused

[elfin mural]

works on all asus laptops

[craggy shoal]

oh gotcha

[mortal grail]

Ghub was for Logitech

[idle nexus]

Armoury crate installed? just reinstall windows lol

[elfin mural]

from at least 2023

[craggy shoal]

thanks Foxy

[elfin mural]

it also offers complete disabling of asus services

[craggy shoal]

I have to get ready for work I'll see y'all later

[elfin mural]

so you don't need to reinstall windows

[craggy shoal]

(guys I know that I should uninstall Armoury Crate lmao chill. I only use it for RGB and that's it lol)

[idle nexus]

maybe I should daily Win11 LTSC Enterprise

it's pretty lean

[elfin mural]

g-helper is a tiny executable

[idle nexus]

[opaque sedge]

Xtu’s for intel right?

[idle nexus]

yes

[opaque sedge]

People prefer bios in most cases so

Both?

OC'ing should be done in BIOS, yes

Gotta reboot PC after using RM anyway, just use BIOS

bro

i never got an email from them

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/letter-f-gif-9063750

[tacit geode]

oh well its just my accounts email

banks go through another email which isnt pwned

[misty sparrow]

Should probably get a new email address now that I think about it

[keen shale]

Should have at least 2

1 for signing up for whatever requires an account

Then another for personal business

[sinful blade]

Neither did I

[misty sparrow]

I have two but accidentally did them both for this

Second one isn’t pwned though

and not signed up for nearly as much stuff

[sinful blade]

It’s the only one I’ve ever been pwnd in

Not even my business email has been pwnd

My old childhood email was only pwnd twice, and that was during the big hacks during 2015

[opaque sedge]

Kill me

[last mango]

4k on 6" screen?

[keen shale]

Using ally to play on a bigger screen probably.

[opaque sedge]

He’s using it as a pc on a dock

With an egpu

In this case an xtx

Not a very price efficient way to go about desktop gaming

Plus fsr2.1 dependent…

(Fsr 2 sucks)

Its very grainy

[keen shale]

$800 + $1000 = PC Cost

[opaque sedge]

Tru, there is a plus that he can also move around with it

[keen shale]

Lan Box PC can do the same thing, still need power plug for the external GPU setup

[last mango]

I'm on FSR 2.1 and it doesn't look grainy on cyberpunk at 3440x1440p

[keen shale]

but the Ally + GPU is definitely smaller

[opaque sedge]

Interesting, i prefer pure raster or xess tbh

[opaque sedge]

how much performance would he have gained with lets say a 7800x3d and the xtx?

Cuz within 1800 its entirely possible

[keen shale]

IDK what the Ally framerate is

[opaque sedge]

Yup especially with the variable of the egpu

[last mango]

Isn't xess mainly for Intel GPUs?

I figured each respective gpu department would benefit each of their own engine

Amd for fidelity

Dlss for Nvidia

Xess for Intel

[craggy shoal]

I want a Framework laptop so bad

[opaque sedge]

Xess and fsr can be used by any gpu

Xess also looks very close to native raster unless u have eagle eyes

[opaque sedge]

How long have they been out for again?

[craggy shoal]

idk

Half a decade?

My Dell Latitude is insanely slow when on its battery it's goofy (upon fresh Windows installation too. It's not even because I have excess bloatware)

[opaque sedge]

It would be interesting if paying extra for a decent spec framework rn and upgrading it when u decide its time to upgrade thru the span of 5 years turns out to be cheaper than buying a flagship laptop and then upgrading to another flagship

[wind quail]

Checked ebay, they go for 80-150€

[opaque sedge]

It seems with a 5800x3d and xtx setup 65-75 frames is possible on 4k native

[opaque sedge]

Damn how old is it?

[tacit geode]

well if they travel alot

its a fair way

[craggy shoal]

I mean they update it every year lol

They wouldn't still be doing just 9th gen Intel lmao

[tranquil pebble]

Trailmakers update released and they added a new block people (including myself) had been asking for. I was not too interested in the DLC but I bought it anyways as a way to say thanks for that update. I love it when devs listen to community feedback (as long as the feedback isnt something that would ruin the game lol)
