the enemy of my enemy is my friend

[hoary zodiac]

yeah they're good janitors

they're free too

even deals with some spiders

[idle nexus]

lol ya they're okay in my book

[hoary zodiac]

I've seen ones that get really big in insect infested areas

[lone mango]

Lizard buddy

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czJaA0S2AjE

[idle nexus]

I don't mind if they get big but I don't want like 100 of them thriving in here

[hoary zodiac]

usually there's not enough food in one house for more than a dozen

if it even gets to that many

[idle nexus]

I can get on board with 12

sucks lizards aren't smart enough to trust you eventually

I had iguanas when I was little. I tried lol

[hoary zodiac]

even domesticated lizards are pretty annoying in terms of being a conventional pet

you have to be really careful not to stress them out

[wary fjord]

u can harvest lizard tail 🙂 they wiggle

[idle nexus]

lol then what do you do with them?

[hoary zodiac]

they're more like fishes

you just let them hang out in an enclosure

snakes are way more friendly than lizards tbh

[idle nexus]

I don't really trust snakes

or cats lol

[hoary zodiac]

the less hostile breeds are more comfortable with you handling them

[wary fjord]

cats purr is the one to live for

i have 4 cats

the 1st thing i do when i get one teach it where to doo doo

xD

[idle nexus]

I'm more of a dog person

[hoary zodiac]

I like medium sized dogs

bigger dogs are too licky

[idle nexus]

lol to me, this is the strongest argument in favor of cats

[hoary zodiac]

small dogs are demons

[idle nexus]

small dogs usually have that Napoleon complex thing going on

[wary fjord]

all small breeds act tough

even on human forms

[idle nexus]

my gf in college had a shih tzu (just googled the spelling lol) that I loved so much

I would like wake up with her sleeping on me

(the dog)

[hoary zodiac]

my favourite type of pet is probably hens

[idle nexus]

at first I was all embarrassed then I'd always be taking her outside & crap lol

[hoary zodiac]

hens provide economic value and aren't too annoying

[idle nexus]

ah heck I miss that dog ngl

[hoary zodiac]

they do poo everywhere so you need a backyard

[wary fjord]

i have dog before 2 of them 14 years they died

brown super fur one

and dalmacian one

[hoary zodiac]

honestly building an entire chicken coop and buying a dozen chickens might be cheaper than some dog breeds

[wary fjord]

when i was born both my parents bought 1 dog each xD

[hoary zodiac]

might actually look into that as an investment

[wary fjord]

honestly raising chicken is $$$

its like egg mining xD

[hoary zodiac]

you do have to be careful with selling eggs

sometimes insurance companies can see that just not give you any money

[wary fjord]

the only cons when having so many chickens are the theifs

they sneak at 3-4am

[idle nexus]

is that like a tradition or something?

[hoary zodiac]

chickens are fine if you put them away at night

[wary fjord]

no idea xD i just have them since birth

[mortal grail]

We have eagles around here

I couldn't keep chickens

[hoary zodiac]

yeah eagles will eat your chickens

or anything really

racoons for americans

[opaque sedge]

Reminds me back in my home country there were several stories of eagles carrying away babies like human babies and eating them

[idle nexus]

which one(s)? isn't like the Fish Eagle the largest or something

[opaque sedge]

There was even a temple in the city i lived in where an eagle carried away a child and apparently left him at the site the small temple was later built in

[idle nexus]

wait jk it's the Sea Eagle

[wary fjord]

i have pet rat also. back in a day .. looks like this

it cost 5 pesos

[hoary zodiac]

rats are great pets

[idle nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/narf-pinky-mouse-happy-gif-14142355

[hoary zodiac]

they're low maintenance and they're pretty fun

[wary fjord]

i say on killin rats.. this rat is the best

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/heavy-breathing-breathing-heavy-breathing-cat-nervous-thirsty-gif-10970783267224452973

[wary fjord]

better than cat

[opaque sedge]

Sorry I shouldn’t have 💀

[wary fjord]

like the efficiency of this white rate on killing other rat are insane

[hoary zodiac]

wait

rats kills rats?

[wary fjord]

too much decapitated rat head at the back of our fridge xD because of this white rat

[hoary zodiac]

lmao

might be a female

[hoary zodiac]

very territorial rat

[wary fjord]

exactly my thoughts xD like ive never lnew

[opaque sedge]

Deadly in all species it seems

[wary fjord]

i think bigger eat smaller xD

thingy

thats all things go

[hoary zodiac]

reminds me of reptiles

where the females straight up kill their mates

[wary fjord]

i tried to own parrot it dint go well

the ants ate it

xD

[hoary zodiac]

how

[wary fjord]

i dont know the cage was hangin on the clothing line

[idle nexus]

USA figured out bald eagles weren't the biggest eagle so

[wary fjord]

but the ants climb on clothing line

and to the cage

[hoary zodiac]

oh god

bro was swarmed to death

[wary fjord]

😦 yeah

it never occur to me thats a problem at all

dint know ants are canibals

[hoary zodiac]

some ants are vicious

same with wasps

you really need to just exterminate their nests if they pop up

they will ruin you

[wary fjord]

i saw a whole attic with their nest on yt

[idle nexus]

those heckin wasps that destroy entire bee colonies are crazy

[wary fjord]

ow nvm

that aint wasps

wasps dont make honey

that yt video the whole attic is a honey comb

[idle nexus]

but ig they eat bees? lol

[wary fjord]

and it starts to go down

dripping the ceilin

[hoary zodiac]

honeybees are chill

[wary fjord]

but they are picky on queens tho xD and they can detrone a queen

which is crazy

[hoary zodiac]

wasps straight up just attack everything that's not a wasp nest

[wary fjord]

if they want to detrone a queen they just swarm a queen and kill it

[idle nexus]

I think it's a hornet not a wasp that hecks bees nvm

[wary fjord]

apperently they heat up if u clamp them up in one space

[hoary zodiac]

I think wasps do too

[wary fjord]

bees vs wasp?

[idle nexus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_8B4bcrSs8

[hoary zodiac]

I love seeing people use random ways to destroy wasp nests

https://youtube.com/shorts/QKgMSLchBtE?si=48K6AzVZutf4sUK4

[idle nexus]

what if you pour LN2 into scary spider den

[wary fjord]

deym so they like gangs and stuff

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT4LF7wCTtA

ahahha this actually works

[idle nexus]

haha YES

[hoary zodiac]

expensive tho

[wary fjord]

yellow jacket are scary

[hoary zodiac]

I mean you don't need that much

[wary fjord]

they remember ur face btw

[hoary zodiac]

but still

[wary fjord]

they hold grudges

https://tenor.com/view/bee-wasp-fight-gif-10387460

[idle nexus]

hecked

[wary fjord]

lol no idea what kind of insect is this.. but its badass xD the other one is stun to speak

the head was just gone xD

[idle nexus]

this LN2 yellow jacket video is pretty crazy lol

[hoary zodiac]

instant destruction

[idle nexus]

heckin yellow jackets are mean

I wonder how they make LN2

[mortal grail]

Probably with a vacuum

[wary fjord]

ima create yellow jacket v2.0

[hoary zodiac]

I think making it is the easy part

storing it is the hard part

[wary fjord]

if u pour ln2 on it.. they overclocked

xD

[idle nexus]

lol overclocked yellow jackets

[hoary zodiac]

6ghz

[wary fjord]

haha

[idle nexus]

more stable than 13900ks

[velvet summit]

somewhat? it's like $2 a liter

except you gotta get it when you need it since it will slowly warm up and dissappear even in a very well insulated ln2 canister

[hoary zodiac]

oooo

so it's unironically a cheap option to deal with underground nests

[velvet summit]

it just seems like it would be expensive

which i guess it somewhat is, since all they're technically selling is liquified air

lmao

nitrogen is quite abundant

[hoary zodiac]

It is still cheaper than other methods of dealing with ground nests

so if you're operating a business that deals with ground nest disposals

cheap and effective

[velvet summit]

you can also make liquid nitrogen ice cream with some extra ln2

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

you got the supply chain

[velvet summit]

Oh yeah, and due to the temp of liquid nitrogen, if you have an Oxygen concentrator, you can make liquid oxygen for cheap

Just need some copper pipe to run the oxygen in

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CEr8p_ljbX4?feature=share

omg tell me this is real?

this looks like a nice concept

for small fingers xD

[storm narwhal]

A nice cup of libertea will close up those bug holes

[misty sparrow]

id rather use some agent orange

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqP7PRQ94nQ

[wary fjord]

might get soon

i fix it release one xD

i like this it has knob and stuff xD mine just glow red have to pull the plug to cool down

[proud jackal]

there are irons that do the same thing

[elfin mural]

it's usb-c powered

[mortal grail]

@craggy shoal

[pseudo raven]

is that even better

[storm narwhal]

Yes

I would actually want to watch the movie then

[pseudo raven]

im watching it no matter what

should be hilarious in one way or another hopefully

[storm narwhal]

One way its going to be genuinely unenjoyable like the borderlands movie

[pseudo raven]

oh ok

yeah if its spectacularly mediocre

[storm narwhal]

Another way at least I can laugh every time Steve appears on screen, yk?

[pseudo raven]

its not fun

but if its really bad

and makes me laugh

thats still good

[storm narwhal]

Its so bad it becomes good

[pseudo raven]

if its really good then you know

its good

[pseudo raven]

exactly

[tranquil pebble]

They should have just done CGI for the cast

[storm narwhal]

Like the 7 sharknado movies

Remember those?

[pseudo raven]

ngl never watched them

or even heard of them until today

how is this

[storm narwhal]

Such a dumb movie but god damn the way the characters died was hilarious

[pseudo raven]

still a thing

wtf lmao

[storm narwhal]

Its literally you watch just to see how they think of new ways for people to die to it

Story? Plot? Irrelevant

Like at least they play into that aspect and try to make it somewhat enjoyable

Minecraft movie feels like borderlands movie trailer

Soulless cash grab they put no effort or time into

[pseudo raven]

yeah

microsoft

sonic movies and mario movie were both

not bad

[storm narwhal]

Oh yeah

[pseudo raven]

sonic ones id say were actually good

for a kids movie

[storm narwhal]

They were watcheable

[pseudo raven]

yeah

[storm narwhal]

Sonic was nice at least it had a plot

And somewhat feeling of a threat

[pseudo raven]

yeah

didnt watch the borderlands movie myself but

worst movie of all time or something

[chrome mirage]

The studio that saved the sonic movie was also the studio that started Love Death and Robots and did the cutscenes for the Halo 2 remaster

[chrome mirage]

It wasn't terrible, the second half was just boring

[storm narwhal]

Yeah

[deep parcel]

roblox movie with Jack Black being 1x1x1x1 or something

[tranquil pebble]

Perfect Dark movie

[misty sparrow]

"What do you mean I look like a 1x1 lego piece?! What even is a 1x1 lego piece?"

[deep parcel]

lol, 1x1x1x1 is just the name of a roblox lore character who is like a hacker or something.

[misty sparrow]

oh right

i think that guy was real actually

if anything jack black should play jared valdez

[tranquil pebble]

if anything jack black should play black jack

(joke has probably been done to death already though lol)

[storm narwhal]

vine boom "okay you're banned immediately"

[wary fjord]

she stole the dog lol and replace it with replica stuff toy xD

i mean that age with that mindset.. shes def going places

[mortal grail]

Pfff

[icy ore]

Dunno about that one brother

[fresh nova]

Dude

I remember when Fruit Loops first came out

That was like THE cereal

[tranquil pebble]

Now theres a million good cereals lol

[iron topaz]

wassup

[random osprey]

adidas ps5

[tranquil pebble]

i dont trust the ps5 design to not just fall and kill itself ngl

[random osprey]

thats why you spend the $30 for the stand

[mortal grail]

Don't worry, instead of falling, the liquid metal will kill it when vertical instead

[tranquil pebble]

or I just don't buy a console that is practically a scam

[mortal grail]

Series S seems nice

[wary fjord]

ngl u can post this on ebay

people will buy it

they gonna think its real deal xD

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lIElsKByCMk?feature=share

this looks nice

[opaque sedge]

https://a.co/d/emLQXL7 is this overpriced or nah?

[storm narwhal]

If you use it on more than one device a lot no

I'd check out the gulikit king Kong pro 2 as well

[craggy shoal]

bruh fr

[wary fjord]

no hall effect at trigger

meh

[wary fjord]

i like this controller

[storm narwhal]

It has hall effect triggers too

And metal trigger/bumpers

[wary fjord]

but i kinda get used to mechanical switches on my controller now

[storm narwhal]

Once my Xbox controller inevitably wears out the kingkong pro 2 is gonna be my next buy

[wary fjord]

why do regular xbox controller doesnt adopt hall effect yet

are they really that greedy?

they know those controller dont last 6 months

after heavy use

like daily mashing them xD

[wary fjord]

thats what i like

its night and day on my old controller when i switch to he trigger xD its more accurate and u can also set it rapid trigger

[craggy shoal]

People prefer third-party controllers now?

[tranquil pebble]

meh, at least Xbox sells controller parts for self-repair

https://automaton-media.com/en/news/ps5-pros-price-reveal-causes-gaming-pc-retailers-in-japan-to-go-all-out-on-competitive-deals/

[wary fjord]

depends xD the og still prefer the original

[craggy shoal]

I mean I've seen some nice third-party controllers. I wouldn't mind using those on PC but I'd be worried about connectivity on consoles lol

[wary fjord]

third party has hall effect on triggers and joystick and.. mechanical switches for button with cusion to mimic mebrane feeling 1000 pooling.

[craggy shoal]

I forgot which exact one but Thrustmaster made a really nice controller years ago that LTT reviewed (I think meant for the Xbox?)

[wary fjord]

and the pcb build on 3rd party are modular

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's what I like

[wary fjord]

because those 3rd party are literally started as "diy"

xD

[craggy shoal]

Especially given that Xbox's custom controller solution is expensive and PS doesn't even have a custom controller solution lol (afaik)

[wary fjord]

then get finalize and release to global

ow i forgot to tell also u can switch to .. switch, xbox, dualshock

with just 1 controller without using 3rd party aps

[opaque sedge]

Huh i’m pretty sure it did

[wary fjord]

basically it recognize the hardware as it is

[craggy shoal]

yessss that's what I want

[wary fjord]

maybe it does but the store on that link dint tell it

[elfin mural]

it's a nintendo focused controller

[wary fjord]

it only says he on analog

[elfin mural]

likely lacks hall effect triggers

[tranquil pebble]

reminds me of the handheld snes I have, its modular and uses 18650s for batteries

[elfin mural]

because no games on nintendo actually needs detailed triggers

they act as buttons

[wary fjord]

dualshock is a must some smart tv

only recognize dualshock for some odd reason

xD

[opaque sedge]

So wait apparently these controllers have layouts or smth

For pc i should look for xbox layout right?

[wary fjord]

u can buy stickers tho xD only abxy will change anyway

is the layout u mean?

or the actuall key map?

[opaque sedge]

https://a.co/d/86a9SVs how abt this one

[elfin mural]

tbh

just get gamesir stuff

there's ones that are xbox licensed

[wary fjord]

yeah

if u dont have xbox license controller u need the adaptor thingy

u have to plug that then plug the controller

i dont know what thats called but i seen it once in yt

[elfin mural]

gamesir has so many

kaleid, kaleid flux, g7 se, g7

[wary fjord]

what i got is GameSir T4 Kaleid but not xbox cert because i dont have any consolke anyway xD

also its transparent

u can see the pcb

[opaque sedge]

Do wired controllers have better latency?

[elfin mural]

yes

naturally

[wary fjord]

it has black and gold tracing pcb

[opaque sedge]

Kaleid or kaleid flux?

[wary fjord]

yes u cant do 1k pooling on wireless

[elfin mural]

https://www.amazon.com/GameSir-Controller-Xbox-One-Windows-Joysticks/dp/B0D8KXMCTC/ref=sr_1_6

[wary fjord]

have u ever had 1k pooling controller?

[elfin mural]

this comes in snazzy colors now

[wary fjord]

its night and day

[elfin mural]

wow

[wary fjord]

its like its instant

[elfin mural]

they're the same

the flux just has a different pattern on the pcb

[wary fjord]

but some people doesnt want 1k pooling if they get used to default 250 pooling xbox has

[elfin mural]

but otherwise they're identical

[wary fjord]

its just preference

[elfin mural]

kaleid has tracing pcb pattern

the kaleid flux has wavy

but if you want mechanical d-pad

t4 kaleid only

not kaleid, t4 kaleid

[opaque sedge]

Hows it compare to the g7 he?

[elfin mural]

g7 he is just another g7 se

in different colors

[wary fjord]

this is response rate of gamesir controllers

[elfin mural]

g7 se is a little inferior, but the shape is better to hold

kaleid series is a little odd

[opaque sedge]

They all seem to be in a similar price range which should be the usual top pick?

[elfin mural]

t4 kaleid

according to reviewers at least

but g7 se/he or whatever are the most ergonomic

[wary fjord]

sadly i dont know what ergonomic controlelr feels like xD all them feel the same to me

[craggy shoal]

I mean controllers are built to be ergonomic, right?

[wary fjord]

yeah xD

[elfin mural]

ya to an extent

so you can't go wrong with any

it's all down to preference, but like

[wary fjord]

but i cant vouch on if its ergonomic i feel thats for you to decide if it is

[elfin mural]

everyone seems to live with xbox and ps just fine

[wary fjord]

because hand size are the variable here

and grip style

[elfin mural]

ya

[storm narwhal]

Furled finger aah gamer where

[tranquil pebble]

I could probably find a controller you could go wrong with on aliexpress

[storm narwhal]

LMAO

[wary fjord]

yeah the mode switching why i prefer gamesir

[elfin mural]

lmao

[wary fjord]

some controller u need the gyro

[tranquil pebble]

or on wish

[wary fjord]

and not all gyro are the same

implementation wise

[elfin mural]

those are the stuff of nightmare

10 bucks galore

[opaque sedge]

Whats the dif between microswitch and membrane?

[elfin mural]

membrane is less tactile feeling

[wary fjord]

in gamesir u can toogle switch mode and the gyro on it.. will work just fine xD

[elfin mural]

but imo it doesn't matter much

microswitch is clicky

[opaque sedge]

Ic i think imma go with either the kaleid or the flux

[elfin mural]

which means more noise

[tranquil pebble]

I cant stand membrane after getting used to switches

[wary fjord]

but gamesir put a membrane on top of that microswitch lol

to mimic membrane

[elfin mural]

it's so weird

lol

[storm narwhal]

WhY

[tranquil pebble]

mechanical membrane lol

[opaque sedge]

So damn confusing

[wary fjord]

not its not thic membrane its still clicky

but its doesnt sound like a freaking mouse

u know the mouse on its raw sound right? xD

u dont want that on your controller

[opaque sedge]

So do i get the membrane or the microswitch?

[wary fjord]

it sounds weird

[craggy shoal]

lofeballs

bruh

random bot

[tranquil pebble]

?

[wary fjord]

no its not

its just damping the sound of the raw switch a bit

[craggy shoal]

some random person came in and just said "lofeballs" so I copied lol. Message was deleted though

[tranquil pebble]

oh I must have missed it

[wary fjord]

they want the feeling of the mouse switch not the sound of it..

[wary fjord]

probably a bot

[opaque sedge]

And that comes in membrane or microswitch?

[wary fjord]

5 years from now u will have converstation with an ai

that u dont know its ai

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

[wary fjord]

membrane has two parts u know

the pad and the silicon

i dont know if u open a controlelr before

u see that always tear

makes ur button not go up

but still works

that material on top of microswitch

[craggy shoal]

I wish there were more hotswap options for microswitches

(In mice obviously)

[tranquil pebble]

imagine a microswitch keyboard

[wary fjord]

i have that lol

[craggy shoal]

It's pretty much either modding with not much documentation to go off of when modding, or just get an Asus mouse

[craggy shoal]

Which mouse?

[wary fjord]

no i made it

xD

i use the gold mili

[craggy shoal]

:0

[opaque sedge]

Never had the pleasure

[craggy shoal]

Link? I just see results for a golden Mickey Mouse when I look that up

Bruh I swear if it's only available in Asia

[wary fjord]

i use this

[craggy shoal]

ohhh gotcha

So you just modded your mouse lol

[wary fjord]

u put this below the pcb

[craggy shoal]

That's what I want to do

[wary fjord]

makes it hotswappable

haha

now u just stick the 3pin on it.. xD

[craggy shoal]

I'm assuming you had to solder?

[opaque sedge]

Can i mod my basilisk?

[wary fjord]

yes at the bottom

[craggy shoal]

gotcha

I wanna do that with my old G502 Hero

[wary fjord]

i dont like desoldering and soldering back a switch

[elfin mural]

reviving an old mouse

nice

[wary fjord]

my soldering skill will killthe board

soon

if i keep doing that

it has some burns on it

i recommend this if u have those mouse that has seperated pcb for the right and left switch of the mouse

one that hands up close to the clickers not attacked on the mobo itself

if u dont have sperated pcb just make sure u have enough xD space for the gold mili because they stick out the bottom

[devout forum]

Well that just happened
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMciftpkk2k

[elfin mural]

gddr6 4070

galax seems to be vocal about it at least with their box

[wary fjord]

@craggy shoal my pcb looks like this but black xD

[elfin mural]

having big "GDDR6" written on it

[wary fjord]

i put the milmax on the bottom

[elfin mural]

so what kinda mouse switches takes millmax?

[wary fjord]

all of them

xD

[elfin mural]

dang

[wary fjord]

u can literally mod most of the mouse

with milmax

[elfin mural]

i might do that to my g305

if i have the gear

lol

currently it's got zero issues

[mortal grail]

Wow I already knew the 4070 was pathetic but somehow it's become worse

And I'm not even talking the g6 version

[elfin mural]

g6 4070 should've been 4060ti

[mortal grail]

The g6 is just

[elfin mural]

real talk

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/pathetic-pathetique-pathetox-cat-gif-17249104

[wary fjord]

theres secure way to install it.. which if u are not careful u will ruin the pcb..

make the whole larger and insert the milmax..

u can follow this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLFfS4ifgM8

but i do the other way

safe way

put it the bottom

[elfin mural]

drilling your pcb

yeah that's risky

[mortal grail]

How is it a $550 gpu barely beats a $380 gpu

New off the shelf

[devout forum]

Truly the worst gpu of our time

Best advertisement for the 7900 GRE/XT is nGreedAI being scummy

[elfin mural]

amd decidedly dropped out of enthusiast market in 8000 gpus

at least that's what amd reps are saying

we'll probably have 8800xt at max

[devout forum]

Not even a week after that announcement we have nGreedAI scamming people

This is the sad reality of the tech world

Without competition at every tier, it'll rapidly degrade

[elfin mural]

intel battlemage

pls come sooner

[devout forum]

Nah

Battlemage won't compete with even a 4080

[elfin mural]

at least they'll cover low end market

[wary fjord]

look how clean that mod is.. ez hot swap xD

[devout forum]

we are gonna have to wait until AMD considers their market share big enough to compete at top tier again

slight issue

[elfin mural]

amd is giving up on purpose

because they could easily compete

[devout forum]

AMD ain't gonna get market share without enthusiast-tier hardware

this feels like a doomspiral for AMD GPUs ngl

[elfin mural]

it is

they can't make up their mind

marketing catastrophe

[devout forum]

Yikes, 7700 XT equal to it

[elfin mural]

yeeeah

4070 g6 is such a pathetic gpu

so is the g6x

[devout forum]

and it's how much cheaper again? 7700 XT that is

[elfin mural]

7700xt is like

[devout forum]

half price?

[elfin mural]

350 or so?

iirc

yeah

essentially half price

for the same performance

it's such a joke

[devout forum]

told you, best advertisement for RDNA 4 is nGreedAI scam tactics

[opaque sedge]

Does dlss have input lag issues too?

[elfin mural]

frame gen?

yes

[devout forum]

But really, this is what happens when someone has an effectively monopolous stranglehold on the market

[elfin mural]

they always have latency

[wary fjord]

RDNA 4 is now on phase where they match 4000 series xD then nvidia release 5000 series.

[opaque sedge]

Wbt upscaling?

[elfin mural]

because you're generating frames

upscaling has no added latency

at least not a meaningful increase

negligible

[opaque sedge]

Ohh so i was wondering since black myth wukong always has upscalers on, the input lag wont be an issue if frame gen is off right?

[elfin mural]

yep

frame gen is actually okay as long as you have 60 fps and higher

but this is wukong

where 4050 can run it at 100 fps or so on high 1080p

[wary fjord]

this is the guide might wanna save it if u guys mod a mouse

and dont use FLUX

[opaque sedge]

Seems like its pretty nvidia optimized

[elfin mural]

1440p?

[opaque sedge]

I should look at benchmarks again it sucks cuz i cant find any thag have super resolution at 100

[elfin mural]

that shouldn't be that low

[opaque sedge]

Yh

[elfin mural]

yeah

i think it prefers nvidia then

[opaque sedge]

Yup apparently has lumen always on

[elfin mural]

lumen

oh yeah

that explains it lol

[opaque sedge]

And the rt optimization on 40 series helps

[mortal grail]

Only a little

[elfin mural]

hm ok

[opaque sedge]

Cuz pretty sure a 4070tis can get playable frames or above 60 fps even with rt ultra without upscaling

[elfin mural]

but ngl 90+ is good enough for a single player game

just a tad below my expectations

i should set it lower xd

[mortal grail]

4070 ti fps should be about the same as 7900xt

Maybe Ti Super

[opaque sedge]

I hope by the time it comes on sale there are mods to remove the lumen

[elfin mural]

i don't think you can remove it

without the game's looks changing drastically

[opaque sedge]

Makes sense

[wary fjord]

yeah hook the rendering pipeline

yeet that layer xD

[elfin mural]

lumen is just heavier by default

idk why

despite ue5 claiming optimizations

but i gotta say

wukong is nicely optimized

the rare big games that won't choke and die with 6gb gpus

[mortal grail]

Numbers look normal to me

[devout forum]

But if you have AMD you're screwed?

[mortal grail]

No

Don't word it like that wth lol

[devout forum]

cries in below 60 average on a 6700 XT

[wary fjord]

r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod 0 not working to disable lumen?

[devout forum]

at least that's 1440p so

I mean that is fair

[opaque sedge]

U would probably get that even on an entry level nvidia card

[mortal grail]

You could get below 60 on a toastee

0 is still below 60

[wary fjord]

wheres my card on it 😦

[opaque sedge]

Is that Australian slang? Toastee?

[mortal grail]

No that's a spelling mistake for toaster

And i cba

Lol

[opaque sedge]

Finding out felix is Australian hit me harder than I thought

[mortal grail]

Oh no kangaroo man

[devout forum]

I guess I'm drinking the PCMR koolaid

6700 XT 60fps on 1080p ultra reasonable?

[mortal grail]

No

You expect normal fps in a ue5 game?

[devout forum]

Rip

[granite radish]

where is 7600x3d ?

[mortal grail]

[mortal grail]

Two retailers atm

Micro center

[wary fjord]

eyes cant see past 60 anyways

[mortal grail]

And a place in germany

[wary fjord]

xD

[opaque sedge]

Really interesting to see these cards so close in performance tho

[mortal grail]

No where else

[granite radish]

bruh

[mortal grail]

Hey I didn't call the shots

Talk to lisa

Lmao

[sinful blade]

@mortal grail how do I return stuff at microcenter

[opaque sedge]

And yayy the 4070tis is finally a bit better than the 4070ti other than having 4gb more vram

[wary fjord]

it looks like something is holding it up

[mortal grail]

Like anywhere else?

[opaque sedge]

I can’t believe i almost fell for that card

[mortal grail]

Take it there with a receipt

Ask to return

[opaque sedge]

Ram and mobos only have a 15 day return period btw

[mortal grail]

Wait until the poor guy's horrible sadness sets in behind the counter

The betrayal, made clear

[sinful blade]

They said I only need my account

Also, just returning a mouse and speakers
Unsure of what I’ll be getting instead

[granite radish]

lol what happened to this place they used to have everything

[mortal grail]

Amd did the same thing with the 5600x3d

Micro center got an exclusive contract

Business is business

[granite radish]

dang

[mortal grail]

I don't work for newegg I couldn't give you any specifics

[opaque sedge]

Do not go into the case section or else you might be convinced by a salesman in his 30s wearing suspenders to get a fancy dual chamber case like i almost was

[granite radish]

their loss

[mortal grail]

Yes it is

I'd recommend it to everyone

[granite radish]

yep it looks pretty good better than 13th gen i9

for 249 💀

[mortal grail]

Bit difficult to recommend to half of america to go to a store 5+ hours away one way

[sinful blade]

That lambo case is lookin mighty fine…

[mortal grail]

Maybe ask a friend to buy it and ship it to you?

[opaque sedge]

Nooo donot listen to him

[mortal grail]

More than one way to skin a cat

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

[granite radish]

nah I don’t have people over there

[mortal grail]

Rooaaddd trriippp

[opaque sedge]

Hide in a overseas shipping container

[granite radish]

lol drive in the ocean

[mortal grail]

Real

[opaque sedge]

Just ship yourself

In a box

With fedex

[mortal grail]

Mail order bride urself

Don't forget the dress

Then divorce on arrival

[opaque sedge]

And get a 7800x3d and 4090 build with the alimony

[elfin mural]

a game named squirrel with a gun sounds like something felix would play

idk why

[mortal grail]

Speaking of that, xqc's ex went bankrupt over constant legal attempts on him

[elfin mural]

but i have that feeling

[opaque sedge]

Gf or wife?

Kids or no kids?

[mortal grail]

Declared bankruptcy after something like 6 figures of money

GF

[elfin mural]

lmao

[mortal grail]

claimed wife

[opaque sedge]

Makes sense

[elfin mural]

shoulda kept that 6 figures to herself

[opaque sedge]

Wbt kids?

[elfin mural]

bruh

[mortal grail]

Lost the lawsuit

No kids

[opaque sedge]

Ofc

[elfin mural]

she could've done the better thing

[opaque sedge]

What the heck did she expect

[mortal grail]

So she kept trying

[elfin mural]

never sue someone when you know you're gonna lose

[mortal grail]

She wanted like 5 million in an abuse settlement out of court

[opaque sedge]

Without a solid claim on top

[mortal grail]

She wanted his money lmao

[elfin mural]

5 MILLION

lmao

[mortal grail]

Ya you can google it

Wild af story

[elfin mural]

im not bothered enough

but damn

[sinful blade]

I am about to drive to microcenter from 4 hours away for a concert

[opaque sedge]

Like being someone’s ex gf is very inconsequential in the face of the law unless there were records of smth like domestic violence or abuse then maybe she could have a probable cause to take him to court and perhaps win

[mortal grail]

She didn't

She started with the fake wedding ring

☠️

[opaque sedge]

Yh guy looks like the type get beaten

Makes sense

[mortal grail]

Ok we don't go that low

Lmao

[opaque sedge]

Ok the dude can now reliably give her lawsuits for emotional distress and defamation at this point

[mortal grail]

Remember this is an official server

She tried

She declared bankruptcy

[opaque sedge]

Even if there was violence or abuse it’s actually pretty damn rare to win in a case for seeking damages if the plaintiff wasn’t the spouse of the defendant at some point

So yeah she picked a fight she could never win

[mortal grail]

Adept more like a debt

[granite radish]

too expensive

thats gonna be like buying 2 or 3

[mortal grail]

Tried aliexpress for a 7500f?

7600/X without the igpu basically

$123 usd if that catches your eye

[granite radish]

lmao

chinese knockoffs

might get scammed

[granite radish]

still the shipping another 100

[mortal grail]

Ehh

It should be free

Well that sucks

[mortal grail]

Not these ones afaik, but not worth for 100 shipping

[granite radish]

ok 7600xt or 6750xt

[granite radish]

yes ill find another way dw

[mortal grail]

6750xt

No brainer choice

[granite radish]

yep why is the 7600 more expensive what a scam

[velvet summit]

join the 6750xt gang

[granite radish]

omw

[mortal grail]

They appeal to the group that want more vram than the card can even use

[granite radish]

lol still using that trick

people learned from the 3060

[mortal grail]

At least the 3060 didn't have as bad of a value proposition tho

Which is sad

Comparatively that card can use all 12gb

The problem is the cheap bit bus

4060 ti 16gb can only use like, 13gb of all 16gb

Meanwhile 3060 all 12 is possible

7600xt afaik has the same problem

[granite radish]

maybe but they not getting more sales after the inflation ended

[mortal grail]

Mmm kinda

Total revenue is up for NVDA

But server and ML is most of that

Enthusiast market tanked this year

Iirc some 30%

[granite radish]

I dont like invdia anyway amd a lil less worse

[mortal grail]

Nvidia is keeping margins with cheaper quality

I agree

And if nvidia was cheaper than amd I'd do a backflip

Lol

[granite radish]

lol

[velvet summit]

i would do a backflip if it were the same price as amd

for the same perf

That looks fun can I ride in it

[cedar compass]

They updated website as well

[chrome mirage]

The new cyberpunk update helped a lot with my Radeon GPU. Now I can run path tracing at a reasonable fps

[rancid juniper]

nice

[chrome mirage]

By reasonable fps I mean 30fps.

[rancid juniper]

thats still good for an amd card

[velvet summit]

i havent seen sudo in ages

[fair onyx]

started re-training my ears as of late, and its been great. Instead of boosting the frequencies I wanna hear, I remove them for a while and then remove the reduction, and suddenly neutral sounds way better haha

-6db bass for a while, start to hear the frequencies, then go to neutral and its super bassy again lol

[velvet summit]

💀

[dusk knot]

Wh

[velvet summit]

i dont like much more bass than what neutral has

i use the hd6xx and the bass is already more than enough for me

[fair onyx]

oh, RIP sub bass haha

[fair onyx]

yeup

[fair onyx]

what?

[dusk knot]

Never heard of this practice

[fair onyx]

I just kinda did it on accident. My EQ I use has an invert button, and it reduced all the frequencies I wanted more of. After a while it kinda sounded normal, and when I removed it, neutral sounded WAY more like how I wanted

frequency fatigue is a real pain, same with volume fatigue

want more bass, turn it up, sounds neutral, turn it up for more, and before you know it its way too much and it still doesn't sound like enough

Same with volume creep

[pliant berry]

I haven't really needed to do something like that since I am always changing headphones and speakers

[craggy shoal]

Bruh atp there should be a Windows troubleshoot channel

[fair onyx]

I took it

At your mom's house

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

[mortal grail]

You can feel their disappointment

[uncut mulch]

Disappointment with what

[sweet phoenix]

The sticker acts as a heat spreader

So sure

Anyone in here live in Seattle, WA? Can dm me if you don't want others to know.. but I'm visiting for the next 2 days.

[sweet phoenix]

I got a new car last week

Someone keyed it at work today

[unreal trail]

people are crap

[tranquil pebble]

literally why we can never have a single system that plays every game ever made

[hoary zodiac]

we have a system that could play (almost) every game ever made

[tranquil pebble]

my point was that corps always try to fight that in every way they can

[hoary zodiac]

I think it's stupid

at least if you own the game itself

[tranquil pebble]

big corps tend to be full of crappy people, least at the top

[hoary zodiac]

I play ps2 games on my pc but I own the physical disc which I use to play the game

I don't distribute the iso so

perfectly legal

[hoary zodiac]

especially nintendo

[tranquil pebble]

but beyond that you even have Sony paying devs to not port to Xbox specifically

[hoary zodiac]

lol

funny that

ps exclusives been coming to pc

consoles are losing their usp

[tranquil pebble]

Yeah I am glad PC is becoming a neutral ground for the war of the corps

[hoary zodiac]

It's mostly steam really

it's one of those cases where a free market works

[wicked oriole]

Is the 4080s too big for a y60 case?

[hoary zodiac]

it is so accessible to people that it's become the default

and it's keeping its audience by doing stuff like steam proton and the steam deck

[tranquil pebble]

helps that Valve isnt publicly traded

investors tend to make a mess of things

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

steam proton is the best thing that's happened to linux gaming ever

[hoary zodiac]

which 4080s?

[tranquil pebble]

Valve one day was just like "yo what if we used our wealth to make a linux gaming pc" and the rest is history

[hoary zodiac]

yeah and with the steam deck it actually benefits linux gaming as a whole because now we got the backing of valve

[tranquil pebble]

They didnt succeed at first but they kept trying and we now have major disruptions to the market

[hoary zodiac]

It works so well too because people who would've pirated the games on linux would've gone to valve

It's not that big of a market but still

rare example of big tech making a service that people actually want

[tranquil pebble]

Microsoft and Google meanwhile trying to literally force people to use their cloud stuff

[hoary zodiac]

looking at the images it looks like it should fit a triple slot card

[wicked oriole]

Pny

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I think there's more than enough room for a 4080s

[hoary zodiac]

and AI

I hate AI so much bro so much bloat

[wary fjord]

no way

[tranquil pebble]

watch the 5090 be like a 5-slot card

[wicked oriole]

I had someone tell me it wouldn't work and would be to hot. Why is this so complicated 😕

[hoary zodiac]

think we're gonna need new case designs for that ahahha

[hoary zodiac]

do you have fans?

airflow shouldn't be that big of an issue if you got intake and exhaust

It's not an NZXT case so

[tranquil pebble]

I dont hate AI itself - it is literally just data processing algorithms... but I hate how corps are using it

[hoary zodiac]

I hate how AI's become the new "smart"

it is meaningless

[wicked oriole]

I planned on getting fans for it I guess. Idk anymore. Maybe I just stick to my bad consoles

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNfsG-Ai2PA

I mean it's not really bad

It's a bit hotter than the O11 but it's not an NZXT

[tranquil pebble]

I will be rebuilding my PC in an In Win GROne soon

[wicked oriole]

Can't trust pre builds, half the other places aren't reputable. Why is there no promising pc company and it's 2024. Makes 0 sense. This is why people have a hard time trying to come to pc gaming and I understand why I've put it off just to be disappointed

[hoary zodiac]

you just gotta optimize your airflow

[hoary zodiac]

oh yeah never

they put the cheapest parts in and charge you an outrageous amount

makes it costs more in the long term if you want to upgrade a part

[tranquil pebble]

once again investor nonsense

[hoary zodiac]

usually the psu is the cheapest thing ever

[wicked oriole]

It's like waiting 10 years to hook up with the hot chick from high school just to be let down by the most mid hookup ever. Me trying to go to pc gaming

[tranquil pebble]

me with a $400 PSU...

[hoary zodiac]

pc gaming is more like a hobby

the more you put in the more you get out of it

and I'm not just taking about money

[tranquil pebble]

put effort into your builds

[hoary zodiac]

(really the more money you put into it the more likely it is you lose value)

effort > money

there are 2K prebuillts that can't outperform 1K pcs

[wicked oriole]

I'm noticing that

[tranquil pebble]

There are 5k prebuilts that cant outperform 1.5k PCs

[hoary zodiac]

microcenter has a pc building service right?

[tranquil pebble]

a bit extreme but that can and does happen

[hoary zodiac]

you could probably get more control if you build a pc with microcenter

or any other retailer that offers a service

[wicked oriole]

They want $250 compared to $150 to slap an aio on it. Makes 0 sense.

[hoary zodiac]

what AIO tho

[opaque sedge]

Guys

I aint gonna lie

[wicked oriole]

Just like a cooler master nothing special.

[opaque sedge]

Ghost of tsushima on kbm kinda grows on you

[rancid juniper]

aircooler

[hoary zodiac]

yikes that's not even a good one

I mean these days AIOs are kinda meh in terms of value anyways

[tranquil pebble]

This case was neglected for years and now is being restored to the best of my ability with some help from the person who gave it to me

[opaque sedge]

Just had to turn the difficulty down to easy

[hoary zodiac]

yoo I miss cases with drive bays

[opaque sedge]

Thermalright?

Crap they make god tier air coolers as well

[tranquil pebble]

exactly why I am saving this thing

[hoary zodiac]

the usual $40 suspects

they're really good

for most people an air cooler would be enough

[tranquil pebble]

i also have a Cooler Master HAF 932 full tower around

[hoary zodiac]

I want a server case with good airflow

[wicked oriole]

I just don't see why they charge so much to put aio on. It mounts the same to the cpu and they just screw on the fan up top. I don't understand

[opaque sedge]

Yeah air coolers are the way dual tower heatsinks are cheap enuf and have the same performance as most aios

And they cost 1/10 the price

[hoary zodiac]

It's only really the older cases

or $150+ cases

[opaque sedge]

Jesus where are you looking for cases

[tranquil pebble]

$200 is generally what I budget for a case

[hoary zodiac]

well I'm looking for a more hybrid build

[opaque sedge]

70

For me

[hoary zodiac]

cases that can serve as a general gaming pc case and also has drive bays

[opaque sedge]

Montech xr or the 903 air

[tranquil pebble]

keep in mind I also buy Godzilla sized full towers

[hoary zodiac]

bottom drive bays

ehhh

[opaque sedge]

Alright 200 is valid there

[hoary zodiac]

my old case was like $150

I mean it's massive

[rancid juniper]

is that... A second motherboard?

[hoary zodiac]

yes

got room for a second psu

[opaque sedge]

Does that thing have…

[rancid juniper]

wow 2 pcs in one case

[hoary zodiac]

and a crap ton of drive bays

[opaque sedge]

Someone slap me

I must be seeing things

[tranquil pebble]

full towers have been doing this for years... at least a decade
