wana know what i find funny
Its xbox licensed btw
Which makes it even more funny
they claim that the ps5 controllers dont have alot of features on bluetooth, but iv gotten all of them besides audio
ps5 on top
Slap…
😔
rahh
Slapfingertips
your meat?
Goddammit
Meat joke is dead?
My review
It had a good run
I haven’t had any meat today so dont wanna make meat joke
lmao
I lowkey should buy a super long usbc cable for wired controller play
That meat would have not lasted very long
I want meat now...
pause
@craggy shoal
no, but i will, @craggy shoal
Oh god are we destroying chat again
I'm about to swear
Swear your life to my meat
Motor more like meator
I shared this here before but there was a steam version that was leaked and it might be possible to change the macros on this thru steam directly
They haven’t officially said anything abt it tho so might be a while
Breaking news: Google AI coughed up something useful
Dual Sense is actually a pretty good controller. I used to use funny submarine controller and a PS3 controller, Dual Sense causes much less fatigue
The only thing I liked about my mother buying a PS5 out of nowhere is that the controller is probably their best one ever
Things will be different now.
For all of you.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first chapter of Rebel Wolves’ brand new role-playing saga — a single-player open-world dark fantasy action-RPG with a strong focus on story and narrative. Developed on Unreal Engine 5 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox X|S.
You play as Coen, a young man turned into a #...
A new rpg perhaps?
you're comparing a relatively ergonomic controller to 2 wildly unergonomic controllers
That's what I don't like about dualshocks
I like their weight but not the ergonomics
While with xbox controllers I like the ergonomics but not the weight
The Dualshock 3 is unergonomic for bigger hands. Which wasn't a problem for pre-puberty me. I used to be able to use a Dualshock 3 for hours when I was in middle school and early HS
Best controller ever
I used my dual shock more than Xbox lmfao
The Xbox One controller has been consistently reigned as the best controller
I stand by that
I then swaped over to the funni logitech one when I needed a controller in college, which tbh wasn't too bad. The wired logitech one was worse than the wireless one because the wired one is smaller
I wish Xbox had adaptive triggers
Get the elite
Does have adaptive triggers
I never liked the Xbox controller
Like dual sense
Dual sense edge looks appealing to me lel
When I was still doing esports lans the elite was the most famous amongst us for a life expectancy of 6 months
It has planned obsolescence
lol
Yes
They call it something different though
Does it work with games designed for dual sense like spiderman
No idea
Not a big fan of adaptive triggers myself
But I’ll still use my Xbox controller
Among Us?
Forza
Among us
I am just biased because I grew up with the dualshock layout 
You can look me up if you're curious
among us
Same
Either layout doesn’t bother me
I could probably get one in the Xbox layout and get used to it but I don't wanna 
You assembling a team?
?
You posted sub meme thought you were going to assemble a team
A team of messed up hardware.
Powered by corsair vengeance
no nitro boost
Oh wait no nevermind, the weird black color shift is back, it wasn't the motherboard's fault
AC7 is pretty great on Linux
Actually it isn't even a black color shift, it all shifts to a lighter tint
Near zero context on what you're talking about but check monitor settings for any adaptive brightness or contrast settings
My monitor doesn't have any, which is why I don't understand what is causing it
Oh it's like really fast
Adaptive sync being weird maybe? Try turning it off or to Fullscreen only
Other than that idk
Also could be the cable potentially?
Do PC games even support adaptive trigger
Snap tap was banned in some games lol
Imagine unlocking 1ms system latency then using snap tap
The ultimate meta
they all do, its just if its actually useful or not
like cs2, you have peeking
itll help there
and strafing in overwatch
for playing minecraft
not so much
those aren't adaptive trigger though? that's just the regular trigger
adaptive trigger adjusts the resistance of the trigger
i thought you were referring to rapid trigger
it's one of the selling points/gimmicks of the dualsense controller
nvm then lol
lol
thats what i thought yall were talking about

Is it better then?
The performance changes so much based on 3d cache that the 7700 is 1% slower in the average for 1080p, 1% faster on average in 1440p and 1% faster in 4k
Yeah basically the gap that x3d gives is almost like a new generation
Does the remote have a bulb on it? If it is a remote that uses IR signals, it is very easy for the two devices to share a response to a specific IR signal
Or it could be a remote that uses radio wave signals instead, those can have the same issue
IR
I still think it's pretty cool
This heater is OLD
Somehow still works
I've found that the power switches on IR remotes sometimes works with similar objects of different brands. My old TV remote for one TV was able to turn on a newer, completely different brand TV even if none of the other buttons worked
Yeah IR signals are fairly basic
Firstly, you sound exactly how I thought you would sound
Secondly, the remote is sending an IR blast frequency (there's probably a better word for it), which both the fan and heater use for their respective operations
It's so interestingly bipolar honestly
If 3d Vcache helps it helps a lot
But if it doesn't, then suddenly the 5700X3D kinda just falls off a cliff
Not sure what you mean by I sound like you thought, but thanks for the tip. Don't base any bias or opinion on me on the sound of my voice tho. I'm much different in person versus Discord, I code switch based on situation.
@devout forum Hmmm hubba do?
Not sure what you mean by I sound like you thought
I see you in your profile picture. I imagine what you would sound like. I hear you talking in your video. Your voice is what I was imagining
Wut
Exactly what I said!
That makes zero sense
Bryce isn't making sense rn
Exactly!
Ah
Anyhow

It's interesting how bipolar the X3D comparison is
It either helps a ton or it doesn't matter whatsoever
Ah yes the dual monitor set up
Discord on one & other does other things
I use same set-up

Man I should sleep
Same
Linus Sebastian talks about creating tech videos for almost 20 years and attending the biggest electronic show in the world, CES, before showing Jimmy and Bad Bunny some cutting-edge technological inventions.

Can't believe they brought Lil' Sebastian on TV
Maybe in 10 years we can have real AI
Wait that for Linus?
yeah
Yikes
Some unknown Disney movie according to Bryce
Rip
When I watched it maybe 45 min ago it was like 10k likes and < 100 dislikes
I think Linus did really well
Wish it was longer but like someone else said, most people have no idea who Linus is
Yeah knowing Linus he'd nail it
Tbh it felt more like a tech sponsorship than anything about Linus
Dude gets on a TV show and then has to spend most of his time explaining what CES is and demonstrating products from it
Like, I get that it is sorta like a summarized presentation of what his videos are, but it is a talk show interview.
They are supposed to be doing an interview
makes sense tbh
they probably were like "who can we put on a talk show that people would recognise"?
I wonder what would happen if they put one of the pro consumer tech tubers onto a talk show
like Louis Rossmann or GN
GN goes on Stephen Colbert and the first thing he says is Thanks Steve and spends the rest of the time explaining the joke 
whoever GN happens to be covering at the time will have to do extra damage control
why does my dummy plug have 4k uhd printed on the side
??????????
is it going to output nothing at 4K UHD
lowish clock speed moment
maybe it simulates the GPU load of having a 4k display plugged in?
get ready for smart phones to become way less affordable if this ever happens
That just makes the gpu think a 4k display is plugged in
It's a dummy display. There's no physical output. Windows will think it's an output and show it in settings
Here's the full video and not just the screenshot

People are brain dead holy
I just watched a video where somebody assumed you need 10gig isp to do 10gig local traffic
Well ye you do… right?
No
You can put a 10 gig card in two pcs and transfer at 10 gig to each of them
Easy
ISP got nothing to do with local network speed
Whenever I upgrade my pc im pretty sure im gonna end up getting one of the proart creator mobos with 10g eth

Is there any reason why there is a color difference between d3d12 vs d3d11 or it simply hdr10+?
It's hdr10+
Well, nGreedAI scumbaggery strikes again

I wonder why they embargo the 5080 reviews to release day...
Oh of course I know, I was rhetorical
Did you buy all of them ?
i wish
I never saw it before but the rtx4000 actually looks really interesting.. until I saw it costs over 3k
water by itself - water
water + salt - salt water
water + coffee - coffee?
water + leaves - tea???
water + HCl - dilute hydrochloric acid???????
where did the water go 
got eviscerated
lol
Wonder how much Lenovo paid Linus to feature that laptop on Jimmy fallon
Hydrochloric Acid is hydrogen chloride dissolved in water. Adding water to that acid just distributes the HCl ions further throughout the solution making the concentration lower
i like the aero
imagine no fan version
Hmm
Windows downgrade
Is anyone here well versed when it comes to the handheld market
Lol
I know a few
Astral looks kinda corny
Should have kept the strix
This looks tacky
Looks like they tried to hard to make it look like a higher tier card
well.....nvm. looks great in this rendition
Do you see it

how he as no nail on his thumb? lol
@tranquil pebble I closed my laptop lid while it was updating and I thought I was cooked
must have been a painful incident
i dont like it
Na surprisingly it's still updating, didn't go to sleep
Oh

🗿
Its a one off design probably not even final
aaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Marketing guy from amd said they are still using 8 pin as its tried and true
My friend held a 5080
It is funny tho to see it at a real event
Maybe just that model has it if actually true
Bro I dont need it but there is this rx 7600 for $220 and another for 230
Thats so cheap that I want to get it but I dont need it since I dont play new slop games
Follow for more inspirations ☺️#music #musician #musiclife

Whats the current best value handheld rn? Still the steam deck?
This is better
Non, new ones over the horizon
needs to be taller
Personally I wouldn’t get steam deck kek, I prefer the extra power the z1 and z2 maybe have
Yeah hopefully we get more handhelds with steam os but with a more powerful chip
We are getting there
Stop glazing steam os, and install bazzite on littelry any existing handheld
If it’s boot loader is unlocked your not forced to use windows
The legion go s is a good step up but it looks like valve kinda stepped in for the chip choice and chose the lower end one
To make the thing more reasonably priced i assume
I do not have a steam deck
I want legion go with x2 extreme
Its just a lot easier for those that either don’t like to or are not comfortable with tinkering
Seems people here are more than competent

Ngl i would get the steam deck if there was a significant discount rn
Il buy one for $2
It using pretty much old hardware is keeping me on the fence
I still haven’t wiped my bazzite installer
Most of the people here would be fairly competent I’d say. But it is the general public that would make linux more mainstream

Linux on top
If it was easy for pretty much anyone than that is a huge plus. Which is pretty much what the steam deck aims for
Legion go 2
I’m exited for it
First thing I’m doing is installing bazzite if I buy one
Step one, get money
lol

The worst part of this is that something like a 4080 will age so bad long term
And optimization
oh no RT is not going anywhere and eventually all games WILL be raytraced
good morning everyone
The sunk cost fallacy is too powerful
We will just have to keep footing that sunk cost
Yeah in like 10 years
Persona already got some RT lol
albeit light enough to run on iGPU
i ❤️ ryatracing
Frame warping

i dont hink 800fps is difficult to hit with current systems


Y'know what I'm wondering about?
Is there any PC part that's at least 10 years on and still useful-ish for modern games?
how old is 1080ti
980 Ti?
You can still kinda game on it at 1440p right?
Like 1440p low-med optimized settings
Cuz I'd love to make an experiment keeping a 4080 long term
Like 5+ years
Preferably a full 10
What GPU are you getting this time?
OLED monitor, or upgrade PC...
looking for white 5090 ofc
😏
I don't see white strix one 
JP which OLED monitor do you have
probably gonna grab gigatrash white one 
4k ultrawide oled when
still hanging on with miniled g9 4k 
Was looking at the AOC Agon PRO AG346UCD. 34". But I think waiting for better would probably be the best option.
The first gen LG OLED 240hz
27 inch
1440p
My 1440p ultra wide is my worst monitor so that's what I wanna replace
And I don't really need 240hz for the games I play. HDR is nice and that AOC is only HDR400 😭

Prob not
a 1080ti is like a 6600 xt
But almost 10 years old
Y'know
I'm trying to make the point
See how long I can get playable framerates at 1440p with a 4080
Maybe like risk of rain 2 1440p 
ultrawide is good but only if it's 1000r curved
portal 2 had rt 
Asus trim
Bro still plays in 2025
I completely forgot that safari on windows was a thing
Just in: Switch 2 can in fact play Skyrim and Crysis
What motherboard do you have?
bruh
And they wonder why people want og fortnite 
potato game
Siiiiimp
nah i don't pay for micros in a free game
I'm good

Looks like valorant but 2d
ye
imagine being such a scummy company you have two youtubers going after you

suing for views
Yes
The more you buy the more you save
The more of a resale value you'll have for your GPU when you decide to upgrade to whatever future generation
yeah i was thking
if i stop buying cheap stuff i wont be replacing it so often

5080 or 5090 will litterly last me years
more you buy more you save mentality sounds bogus
hear me out
if u buy a 5090 now
I don't agree with it either
maybe if prices for GPUs were consistent like iphones
but when they fluctuate so much
5080 should be a 24gb card, change my mind
tbh im fine with 12gb but i feel like 5080 for hte price should be 24gb alr
i might get used 3090 just out of spite 
ill figure out how to get av1 elswhere
3090 is 24gb
future proofing
and if i really do video editing i will benfit form it
o 5080 is a 16gb card ;/ 5080ti might be 24gb
wow
yeah crazy right
$1000 doesnt even get you more than 16?
It is a concept yoinked directly from bulk and large quantity purchases being applied to something that doesn't follow the same pricing characteristics
The more cheese you buy in a bigger pack for example may be cheaper per ounce, but a gpu is a gpu
how i view it is, you wont need to upgrade for longer
plus ressell value, look at the 3090, mf still cost a good chunk
This isn't a even buy higher end save more money, this is the more gpus you buy the more money you save
oh no it's not bogus
it just doesn't apply to the general consumer
we're talking datacenters and OEMs that get the savings
while for the use cases for the general consumer is well
it's a huge pit of diminishing returns
wdym, have u seen the ebay prices
they still in the 600+ range
Performance
its right under a 4070 ti
honestly stiill good enough for 99% of people
I wonder about 3090Ti
around 7900xt it seems
Prices might be low too but I kind of feel bad for people who bought it at retail
the price cost too much to justify it unless u need the vram
imagine buying 3090Ti only for the 4090 to release a few months later
fr
couldnt be me
my friend is buying one soon
3090Ti?
no 3090
his 2080ti dosent have enough vram for his photo editing task 
Further away from nothing
Get a good used PSU for less than $100
i alr have a good 850w
5090 or ban
Im going to get the 5070 when it releases
please watch reviews before you make a decision
5080ti
does water have a taste ?

yes omg ty for noticing 
no problem girly
girlfriend my forehead is big me who has her as my pfp hahaha

my forehead is pretty big too but also not that big - its big for my face
can we start a game of tictactoe on it
Once I get enough hair I’m covering it, rn it’s just an Afro

Never rahhh
if your forehead is big enough you can have presenthead and afterhead
jeez they've resorted to dumping ocean water on CA fires
All that forehead, but all you do is foreget me

i read the most horrifying thing about the fires the other day - it made me real life sob
u take up too much room

I’ll store the 5090s and 9800x3dz for yall
dont worry, ill take it all home to my house before it gets to you
yeah I can hold on to some of your threadrippers since they take up a lot of space
Ghosty gets the thread rippers, good gets the 9800x3ds and I’ll take the 5090s

this isnt just a simple typo you botched it so hard
66F here you?
"illionis" HOW
I responded to the wrong one 😭
lol oh nvm then
BAHAHAHAH
what's that
Idk
I’m reading it rn
if one of you goes on a roadtrip with the newegg gear can i take the passenger seat
Monday is gonna be a doozy
what is -7?!?!
Agree
What my state is like in winter
why are they making it illegal again?
"national security & privacy concerns" is all I know tbh
because its partly owned by a chineese company
wanan know whats ironic about all this
everyones moving to a app owned directly by a chineese company 
with how US companies handle privacy and security
honestl;y
why are we discriminating against chinese companies
US companies do the same thing
china knows what content i like, what ever will i do 
if they're gonna make TikTok illegal because of security and privacy concerns
maybe they should make laws concerning those
stuff the EU has
The Supreme Court justices appeared troubled during oral arguments about the apparent national security risks behind TikTok. CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford breaks down the court's questions.
CBS News 24/7 is the premier anchored streaming news service from CBS News and Stations that is available free to everyone with access to ...
like why does it matter
we like the app
just ban it on government devices
call it a day
Analyze my meat
its back fireing, where moving to an app that 100% is sending our data to the ccp
becuse it lets China carefully curate content and send it to US users
It's not just a data security thing
Would being in the matrix make u happy?
do i knwo its a matrix?
Personally I would like other platforms serving algorithmic content to also be under more scruitny, but Tiktok is a good first step
I literally just explained that it isn't just about stealing data
instagram reals is 20x worth
i dont really see whats wrong with curated content
whatg china funan do ? convice us to move their?
Its happening man… soon people with a severe lack of ethics will start working on 100% of future technology and humanity will be doomed
class division, election interference, misinformation, the list goes on
have u spent 5 seconds on instagram reels 
its more cancer than tiktok
Also cause of the ban everyone is going to this app now
apparently RedNote is just rebranded tiktok?
We got it to. #1 lmfao
Are you even reading my messages? I just said I wanted all algorithmic content to be more scrutinized
and in my opinion it shouldnt matter if people grew a damn brain
but unfortuntly people are stupid
That is not a good sign man 💀 people are so addicted to content that they immediately go to an alternative
miss infomation will always happen online or not
its debatbly a worst alternative too ¯_(ツ)_/¯
all good, i swapped to instagram reels where the n word is spammed every other video 
China
you're on discord, so n-
if I could remove shorts, I'd do it in a heartbeat
we cant use that word here
from my YouTube app I mean
Right; but with algorithms, people are being fed misinformation tailored to their beliefs.\
i mean its their platform
like american owned comapnys dont do the same thing
look at twitter 
sorry i mean x
Yeah it will, and there really is no solution to this even by banning platforms unfortunately especially in a consumerism heavy market better efforts can be made tho such as educating the general public more to have a certain level of skepticism on news they hear and try to find more sources before being invested in the topic and taking up the mantle to represent issues
BRO. READ MY OTHER MESSAGES
I would like other platforms serving algorithmic content to also be under more scruitny
the "misinformation" problem is who gets to say what's correct & what's false? It's not as simple as "the sky is blue"
yuh
reasonable minds could disagree
start by banning every news channel

then ban all the social media companys cause they all do the same thing tiktok does
community notes are pretty good. But also when content is targeted, there are less people able & willing to fact-check it
community notes are probably the best way to go rather than some appointed group saying what's is/not factual
Lmfao this app ain’t bad
Eh not really if thats done then it leaves one entity to control the information market it is alr somewhat controlled tho ig, but divisive opinions and facts contrary to popular belief is actually beneficial long term
Without some form of rivalry things will start to stagnate
I'm of the South Park manatees write Family Guy view that either it's all okay or none of it is okay
if tiktoks banned i et to sell my data to mark zuckerberg!!
Could have phrased this better but by this i meant progress will slow down and in some cases might even reverse
you donate, they sell
This app is sketchy asf
funna put my phone on a mf vlan with this mf
alr worst than tiktok, congrats congress
Welp its like a drug addict using a sketchy needle he found in a porta potty
GN is suing Honey lol
does tiktok access the home wifi network no but this one does 
This isn't exactly about tiktok but it's something i reccomend anyone on the internet read.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GenZ/comments/1bfto4a/youre_being_targeted_by_disinformation_networks/
wanna know what els you could do, ignore the bad stuff and research to form your own non bias opinion
it's my data dammit
i dont even think my datas being stolen as quick as it can 
Oh i read that last week it does sound like a conspiracy theory somewhat but if it’ll encourage people who consume content and get fed news to meet such info with a degree of skepticism initially then i’m all for it
The issue is, we're getting to the point where paid professionals are on theses sites and platforms making misinformation

Yeah alr seeing this on a lot of sponsored content
what typa miss infomatio nare we talking about, i persoanly take anythign importnat with a grain of salty on tiktok 
It ain't a conspiracy, theres pretty solid evidence lol (at least for Russia, idk about China).
kek
lol I really need to set this hecking thing up
silly tiktok cant steal my data heheheha
Its a pretty ducked situation ig
honestly the thing i hate more than intentional misinformation is negligence
people who just spout information without fact checking at all
sure, some things can slip through the cracks, but if all your content is not accurate, or only partially accurate because they did little to no research, that greatly annoys me
Unfortunately thats just you a massive number of people seem to take a lot of info at face value
thats just their fault for being stupid
Theres no way
yes I see a lot of confident incorrectness on Instagram. Likely becuse of the type of content being fed to people.
Also in a political context: I see this from both the left and right, not just one side
Ts so ass
Bummer cuz them being stupid affects ur life too not just theirs 💀 so as unfortunate as it may seem it is somewhat necessary to make sure those people dont get fed misinformation
i just saw like 5 apple domains get blocked 
This is specifically for video or blogs type of content, text chat or forums I don't care quite as much if you don't fact check since we all could be lazy, but for any media that may be used as a source of information should be properly fact checked
unfortue that people have no brains
we should hold all news media to this standard
I do
I hate most news networks because of it
The only one I can trust is the onion
Because they are only satire

I'm at the point where (for anything remotely political) I never trust a single source. Always gotta find an opposing view
and ideally a more central one as well
The Onion is always right
at this point i use my gutt feeling and ignore most the bull
They have so many layers
politics is fun, i igore everything and look at the actions taken
thats where i get le opinion
Except again, when there are people literally being paid to make up misinformation, gut feeling doesn't always work anymore.
i will nver understnad that, meh brain dont fuction like that
how do you monitor actions taken?
how it affects my life persoanlly
so completely self-centric? If it doesn't affect you personally you don't care
correct, the only person in this world who will care about me, is me
i have to take care of my self before others

it actually might not be a bad idea assuming the rest of the general populace works in the same way
its what my parents thought me
Balls
yup exactly like u could be donating spare change by rounding up ur purchases at the store out of goodwill but it ends up benefiting corpos
goodwill extorts people with disabilitys by abusing laws that allows them to pay them less than minumalwage
There's a difference between this and say, ignoring voting about social issues because they don't affect you though
I've never seen this before
yeah I agree goodwill is a little sus though
lol I love unfairness
i do wanna go to goodwill for the cheap tech 
yeah self interest first and foremost can work great if everyone is granted basic human rights (if rights are not guaranteed it can be easy to single out people)
i wanna rip appart dvrs for their hdds
The tism is speaking (it's okay me too)
This app is great lmao
"Oh wait we forgot about the other Chinese apps"
YOU BOOSTED THE SERVER GOTTA CHECK IF PEPE EMOTES ARE BACK
wot
server was out of boosts and some emotes stopped working
still not working...
Valorant is for [bad word that I can't say here]
NOOOO is it bad my friend made me play on there years ago?
your friend was tryna drag you down with him
Damn
Your friend was trying to pin you down iykyk
NAHHH
💀
is this from ubisoft 💀
That’s what the government says
guys these sim games are going way too ducking far now
I
Might cop
Don't tell me "why would the government lie to me?"
I need steam pointd
oof my controller is chinese and i use its app for remapping
They lie all the time
Kurt doesn't think so
Yes, I played some of it. Kinda plays like Far Cry where you take out enemy bases/encampments
guys what if the country was run more than one governmental entity for checks and balances.... wait a minute...
can ubisoft make something original
Nah i don't trust anything about the government because I know Google is the worst
The crew motorfest is good
I like it
Hyperscape sorta was but it died
who knows that program could save the economy if "AI" goes too far
google is a monopoly in multiple sectors
WE MUST DEVELOPE MACHINE UNLEARNING TO FIGHT THE AI THREAT
Agree
Is their any large company that isn’t a monopoly
he should dub that script "John Conner" iykyk
Could Nvidia be classed as one
disagree
that's why i said maybe
I'm going to be controversial here
They aren't being purposefully anti-competitive, they're just ahead of the game
AI isn't anything fancy
It's an algorithm that brute forces off a stupid amount of training data
a monkey is more intelligent than AI
fr based on what i've seen it doesnt really seem to be the definition of AI we had before this marketing got popular
It's artificial but it sure is not intelligent
well they don't specialize in AI models so much as the hardware necessary to train them
It fundamentally does not meet the definition of AI
that's why they have to use a cope term like generative AI
it's nothing groundbreaking and I don't get the fuss
they're just brute forcing a stupid amount of data through an algorithm
that's it
google and facebook's been doing it with their algorithms for years
I mean relatively speaking, compared to other stuff computers do, it does meet some definitions of intelligence better than basic programs
I'm more interested in seeing where organic computing will go
that field might yield some actual results
rather than this farce
Not very far it seems based on current trends 💀
yeah
AI does have its benefits but it's way overhyped
there's a stupid amount of money invested into AI startups that will NEVER see returns
That's kinda how most new technologies/innovation in general works though. The best ones make it out, the bad ones die off
It's 2025, time for a new emote. Who has ideas?
