my feed is full of wannabe advisors

[fresh timber]

[elfin mural]

"you should stop doing x"

"you should do this x thing"

[nocturne flicker]

Here's how to be successful in 1 simple step. Step 1) Buy my product

[elfin mural]

"you should give up if ur doing x thing"

yeah lmao

"if you want to be successful, please buy my course or watch my videos"

[idle nexus]

(2) don't say you'll do anything (take any job they have for you)

[fresh timber]

im fluent in english

i want to work for u plz ty

what sucks is target doesnt let u upoad a resume 😦

[idle nexus]

(3) "Tell me about yourself" give examples instead of "I'm results-oriented"

[fresh timber]

WALMART

[idle nexus]

(4) never say "I don't know how to do [x]" even if it's the truth. Link it to something similar you've done

[fresh timber]

I NEVER CHANGED THIS

walmart website is poop

[nocturne flicker]

Actually I don't understand English, I've just been taking this test with google translate

[fresh timber]

break time i guess

[idle nexus]

(5) don't ask a company, "so what do you do here?"

okay there's the whole video summed up

[fresh timber]

microcenter is too far to work but close enough to go buy stuff from

sad

the one ner me doesnt look like its hiring 😦

[idle nexus]

[fresh timber]

i wonder why your a former ceo

[idle nexus]

I'm out after this one fr

[fresh timber]

id lowkey do this if this bestbuy was close..

[idle nexus]

"Advanced Repair" = reinstall windows probably lol

[fresh timber]

excat;y

;,fap

[nocturne flicker]

(from former CEO (former because company went bankrupt))

[fresh timber]

real

[idle nexus]

former CEO of my own company that had 1 employee & lasted 7 months?

[fresh timber]

i was todays year old when i found out theirs a coa cola factory in my town

[fresh timber]

ima open an llc so i can say im the founder and ceo of Vexpcs llc

[idle nexus]

lol do it

[fresh timber]

i will too

ok so the one store near me that i could legit walk to is hiring but they want your mf ssn in the application

[idle nexus]

it costs $160 in FL

[fresh timber]

no

u get that later...

[nocturne flicker]

Exclusive contracting firm prioritizing temporary employment of long term personnel

[fresh timber]

lmfao

[idle nexus]

what if we made a job website but instead of getting people jobs we just collect all their data & sell it

[fresh timber]

i think thats what doloar general is doing

wanna sell my ssn

[idle nexus]

lol do not work at Dollar General

or other Dollar Stores

they're all sinking

[fresh timber]

doloar tree is 🤮

but general is goog

[idle nexus]

and notorious for understaffing

[fresh timber]

i dont need a job for more than a year

[idle nexus]

you want to be miserable for a year? lol

[fresh timber]

im bored, lets apply for this

[fresh timber]

money removes sadness

[idle nexus]

not when it's not that much of it lol

[fresh timber]

$15 a hour

no bills

:))

[nocturne flicker]

You need hours though. They'll give you 10 hours a week, another coworker 16 hours and a salaried manager 60 hours a week

[fresh timber]

u can have my ssn fasfa

[fresh timber]

seeing i have no car and rely off parents, and sense my mom works im good with that

$150 a week befor tax is enough for me

[idle nexus]

just keep in mind, if you say you live at home, you get significantly less money

[fresh timber]

why :(((

do i not get the $15 before tax

[idle nexus]

not sure if "I live at home but pay rent" qualifies as living not at home but might be worth looking into

[fresh timber]

then my money back at the end of the tax year because i did not indeed make $15 thousand a year

[nocturne flicker]

That isn't how the deductible works

[fresh timber]

i could be put on the lease

[nocturne flicker]

You get income tax back

[fresh timber]

yes yes

idc abt the resti, im happy if i walk out with $120 a week

[nocturne flicker]

You are going to be paying the 7.65% FICA taxes no matter what

[fresh timber]

darn

ill be fine

i dont got bills

nobody took my name yaya

[idle nexus]

"off campus" v. living at home is like half the money lol

[fresh timber]

they take HAFL??

if i liVE AT HOME??

[nocturne flicker]

Also have fun with FAFSA, the entire system is going to be getting a giant cut into it so don't bet on getting good loans

[fresh timber]

i dont need it for loans

im good

[nocturne flicker]

Then why are you signing up for FAFSA

[fresh timber]

cause its a requirment

no fasfa=no state pay for college

tldr i get free like 10k a semester

aparenty my very secure password is invalid

[idle nexus]

pay? you mean loan you money to pay for then charge you like 4-7% interested for a minimum of 25 years (if you refinance under "modified pay as you earn," after 25 years of payments, whatever balance remains is forgiven)

[fresh timber]

no

[nocturne flicker]

That's stupid. FASFA is primarily dedicated to loans and repaying services. Why would you need to apply for the federal student loan system if you are getting state grants for college

[fresh timber]

i will walk out with 0 debt

[fresh timber]

the state wants me to apply for it or they wont pay

so i apply for it

i dont make the rules

[idle nexus]

wait, FAFSA applies for trade schools?

it heckin should

[fresh timber]

kek

if i change my second last second i have soething els setup for free trade school

[idle nexus]

my brother wanted to do airplane mechanic & FAFSA didn't apply or something

[fresh timber]

o thank god

[nocturne flicker]

If the trade school is a participant it does

[fresh timber]

for some reason the fasfa didnt let me use my non spam email smh

[idle nexus]

FAFSA should absolutely cover trade schools. Learning to be an electrician, plumber, HVAC, auto mechanic, etc. is 100000x more useful to society than a liberal arts degree that gets you a job making coffee at Starbucks

btw watching youtube reminds me

[nocturne flicker]

It does. It just has to be an accredited school and has to be a part of the federal student loans program

[idle nexus]

if you don't have the "SponsorBlock" extension installed in addition to uBlockOrigin, you should lol

[fresh timber]

conviently it didnt send the email to my email either

and this is where i stop

[idle nexus]

ah jeez

[fresh timber]

fancy word = wait for mommy

.. yeah no im cooked

hmmm, I was wondering about something

my SSDs would spit out an error where they'd randomly disconnect from my PC

it used to only happen to my NVME WD SN570 500GB

but now it's also happening to my Lexar NQ 710 1TB

[gleaming sedge]

Any audio savvy people here? I have a odd project and could use some help with this sub

[craggy shoal]

I believe it's @velvet summit who can help

[velvet summit]

[mortal grail]

@rancid juniper what you think of evo

[rancid juniper]

✅ physics seems to be better
✅ improvement in graphics
✅ easy to pick up (both wheel + controller)
✅ good weather system

❌ ai needs work
❌ performance isn't great (vram being the most problematic)
❌ lackluster replay options
❌ UI could be better
❌ visual bugs

well it is early access so they got alot to iron out or add

[mortal grail]

Bro wrote a whole tom's hardware excerpt

[rancid juniper]

XD

dayum

@mortal grail lots of visual artifacting going on in some places maybe due to excess vram usage

rn the game is hitting around 15GB of vram

[mortal grail]

Wtf 15

[rancid juniper]

yea

here @mortal grail

[mortal grail]

Lmao it just sounds like another UE moment

[rancid juniper]

it does lol

[mortal grail]

Does it at least run alright

[lone mango]

Ironically it doesnt use ue5

[rancid juniper]

with the appropriate settings yea

its very demanding for an E.A title

[mortal grail]

For a what

It's not EA

[rancid juniper]

damn the flickering is insane

[mortal grail]

💀

[rancid juniper]

early acess"

[lone mango]

Its not hard to run but it takes up too much vram

[mortal grail]

LOL mb

[rancid juniper]

lemme record a bit and show yall

[mortal grail]

Well needing a VRAM patch is not unexpected, I can think of a good 3 games at least

That launched with the same issue

Ah what a let down though

Hopefully 1.0 isn't like that

The demos ran so well

[lone mango]

They probably had 4090s

I sent a vid last night and it showed 19g used at 4k

[mortal grail]

I mean I have one but 19GB is too much

Lmao

[lone mango]

22 committed

[mortal grail]

😂

That's like a fifth of the game!

In VRAM

It does not need that much

Ooo

[quaint folio]

Do tech YouTubers get 5000series gpus before release? Will we see benchmarks before release?

[velvet summit]

they probably already have them
they're likely under embargo
the benchmarks would either release the day of or the day before the release of the gpus typically

[quaint folio]

Ah ok

Im just gonna order one and wont open it then

Incase it’s not worth upgrading, I recently got a 4080 super for 1079 on black friday

[sour falcon]

found a 4090 for 250 because the connector is destroyed from melting

[velvet summit]

that is a suspiciously low price even if the power connector failed

[sour falcon]

i know

i wonder if it was a gift and they dont really care

[lone mango]

Probably just wants to get rid of it

[sinful blade]

Gainward 3080

[velvet summit]

what a nice ambiance

[mortal grail]

It's worth that much to repair it

That's a really strange article you encountered but could be genuine (most people either don't care/don't know how to fix)

[sour falcon]

thankfully i know how to fix it

idk if i can justify driving 4 hours for a possible scam though

[north crescent]

Pay with PP G&S and have it shipped?

[sour falcon]

its fb marketplace

[north crescent]

Albeit not as often on marketplace, but still fair few people okay with shipping and paying on a platform with buyers protection

[sour falcon]

either a scam or seller doesnt know/care what it is (listing says NVIDIA 4090 GTX)

its a PNY card

[lone mango]

Pulsar is really good

Micro center over here has some demon slayer pulsar mice

Goes hard ngl

Wireless and weighs like 60g

[fresh timber]

i hate being poor

id buy this even tho its not the laptop i want

[nocturne flicker]

I use a Logitech M310

[fresh timber]

b580000

[tranquil pebble]

b770 or whatever is gonna go hard

[rancid juniper]

If B580 competes against RTX 4060 imagine what the B770 can do

[fresh timber]

b570 competes with 4060

[rancid juniper]

(SECOND GEN CONSUMER GPUS BTW)

[fresh timber]

its weird

sometimes the b570 can be around 7700xt

[rancid juniper]

stock and prices are pretty bad for sure

they need more inventory

[fresh timber]

microcenter has plenty

haev microcenter, now u dont have to coomplain :))

[rancid juniper]

lol

[fresh timber]

i did same thing with 9800x3d

[rancid juniper]

mmm yes

[fresh timber]

we haev same stock

i want the smallest one ngl

the assrock challanger looks appealing

but no use case for it yet

rx6600 does my server just fine :/

[rancid juniper]

im thinking it may get worse thermals, talking about challenger

i do own a challenger card on my system

[fresh timber]

i have to buy big gpus or it looks weird in my case

convietnly i want the fattest 5080 i can find

[rancid juniper]

bruh all the arc cards are sold out in microcenter near me

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fresh timber]

damn

im sooo indesisive

i wanna downsize my pc to an a3 but at the same time wanna jeep it and have two

[gleaming rivet]

Aye. Like ya the women?

[sour falcon]

I want an FE 5080 to shove in my ITX rig

[fresh timber]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9VXhjn im debating this, saving cash and make it a r5 7600 machine

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/cillianmurphygun-cillianmurphy-jazmincoded-gif-3811002643797340103

[fresh timber]

wait for ur center to be in stock

u think intel will get close to a 4070 super or nah

[rancid juniper]

hope so

imagine
B750 = 4070 super
B770 = 4070ti

[gleaming rivet]

Have Intel GPUs gotten pretty good now?

[rancid juniper]

hardware wise yes

software still needs work

but its alot better than it was 2 years ago

[fresh timber]

yeah

[fresh timber]

I forgot where on the 500 cards

realising that i realise that they are super good

16gb vram for $250??

[rancid juniper]

12GB*

[fresh timber]

if they get past their driver overhead perfect

[fresh timber]

intel amost cooked

still cheaper than 4060

[rancid juniper]

it would've been the best launch ever if overhead wasn't a problem, no rebar required, and plenty of inventory

dang it

so close yet so far

[gleaming rivet]

Are there any people out there dedicated to making stable drivers like amd¿

[fresh timber]

whats wrong with rebar being requierd, anything newer than like intel 9th gen has it

shouldnt be a problem with new ish and new builds

[rancid juniper]

maybe but they probably sleeping

[fresh timber]

do intel drivers have stability problems

[rancid juniper]

for a card going that cheap you would expect your target audience rocking systems older than an 9th gen intel cpu

[fresh timber]

its simple, if it doesnt haev rebar go for something els

[rancid juniper]

People still playing games with 4/8th gen cpus still

[fresh timber]

sometimes you got to leave behind the old to progress to the new

cant support old things forever

[rancid juniper]

i mean yea but how can the other two manufacturers do so fine without rebar?

[nocturne flicker]

4790k go brrrrrrr

[fresh timber]

and to be fair they have been making gpus even befor rebar was a thing

[rancid juniper]

ok

[fresh timber]

intels on their what? 2nd generation, amd and nvidias are on their what? 50th or something

[nocturne flicker]

Hold up gonna put a 3070 in my 4790k media machine

[fresh timber]

[rancid juniper]

☠️

$2000 SOFTWARE

[nocturne flicker]

I have one. I can do it

[fresh timber]

the b580 would kill a 4790k, the 5600 has problems with it

-2 fps

[nocturne flicker]

I already have my old 1080 in the thing

[fresh timber]

tbh the 1080 seems more appopriate

i wanna buy a used 1080ti on ebay and slap it in a system

they like $100

[nocturne flicker]

It has coil whine

And is one of the pepeg MSI ones

The Armor OC models that they used the exact same cooler for the 1070, 1080 and the 1080ti

[rancid juniper]

closest to me using a 1080ti was some anemic mining card

[fresh timber]

i do not want one anymore

what happened to the price sof the 1080ti

[rancid juniper]

should be 50 bucks

😂

[fresh timber]

fr

if it was $50 it would be my goo to card for budget ahh systems

3060ish for $50

[nocturne flicker]

Look at recently sold not current listings for a more accurate price figure

Actually, take it back, working ones are hovering about $150

[fresh timber]

just buy a rx6600 at that point,

this is the rx6600 i have in my server

[nocturne flicker]

I already have a 1000w PSU in it

I can do it

I rember I didn't put in the cheap B stock EVGA psu I had gotten for it

[velvet summit]

wdym last longer exactly

[dusk knot]

From the starting point of both generations, which one will last longer if compared to each other....

Its like a race.

I'm tired...nvm

[dusk knot]

Imagine an endurance race

[mortal grail]

Peaceful challenger

[velvet summit]

probably pretty much a tie with the 5090 slightly in the lead?

considering it's pretty much just a refresh

Dear god

[proud jackal]

i havent spent a cent in night market

[dusk knot]

People are always stealing from my job. Just the other day some guy walked out with $1000 worth of Google nest thermostats.

And worst of all we can't physically stop these people

[tranquil pebble]

Why isn't it locked up?

Also pretty sure $1000 is felony territory

[rancid juniper]

Shoplifting... 🗿

[dusk knot]

They all are. It's the associate's responsibility to unlock them and bring them to checkout. But supposedly this guy's debit or credit card declined and when there were two other Lowe's employees working on the issue, the man walked out 💀

[nocturne flicker]

Don't feel bad about people stealing and you not being able to physically stop them. The company doesn't care

They only care about not being sued

[rancid juniper]

Tbh with how little pay they give to their employees do they really want to risk their lives to stop someone from stealing items?

[nocturne flicker]

They don't want you risking anything. If they don't explicitly tell you to not stop theft and you try and get hurt, there is room for you to sue the company for injury

[rancid juniper]

Don't get me wrong, shoplifting has to stop but the company gotta do something about it if it keeps happening to their establishments

[dusk knot]

🤣

[dusk knot]

No

[rancid juniper]

Yea

I'd literally just watch with a blank face

[dusk knot]

Correct.

I'm not dying for no merchandise, but these people must be on a new level of stupid when they're clearly on camera.

[nocturne flicker]

At the same time, some places have terrible cameras

[sinful blade]

Ah, that explains it

Lowe’s is garbage

I worked for them for 2 weeks

[nocturne flicker]

My gas station for instance has cameras that are unable to get clear images of license plates in most situations

Either through positioning or bad image quality

[dusk knot]

I'm almost 2 years..I like it.

But the paychecks sometimes

😔

[sinful blade]

They just suck at doing just about anything

[dusk knot]

What didn't you like?

[nocturne flicker]

And rather than have better cameras to catch people who drive off or better positioned ones, they've just gotten rid of the pay after pump feature and lost a fair amount of customers

[dusk knot]

[sinful blade]

They sent me home 4/15 days I worked for “not having enough labour”
Paycheck was 11/hr
shifted me around different areas where I wasn’t trained

But I'm not going to complain. Less work for me.

[sinful blade]

Plus HR was just garbage

[dusk knot]

Oh rip

Whenever I see something wrong, I complain straight to management

I fixed all my issues by doing that

[sinful blade]

Management was never there lmao

[dusk knot]

That must've been your Lowe's

Smh

[sinful blade]

Yeah it’s a really bad Lowe’s

Based thermalright destroys all competition

[fresh timber]

how much is it..

i like the design

...

neuron activation, take my money

[velvet summit]

damn that's honestly kinda crazy

[hoary zodiac]

This is the most groundbreaking aio since the LF2

It's fully how thermalright's just been steamrolling their competition

They're pretty much just begging for everyone else to make better coolers at this point

[worthy meteor]

The price almost feels disappointing though

[hoary zodiac]

It does outperform pretty much all of the competition tested

Only thing is noise really

[worthy meteor]

But toms hardware tested like 3 things

[proud jackal]

5090 will fix everything

[fresh timber]

Just look at Corsair, lian li, umm, anybody els with lcd AIO, and the price is very good

[hoary zodiac]

I'd probably swap the fans out

Oh yeah it's the stupid LCD

Yeah that's why it's $100+

Premium price bumper

[worthy meteor]

The sama 360mm with LCD is like $120

$130 feels disappointing coming from thermalright

[hoary zodiac]

I think this is an attempt for them to compete at the high end

[worthy meteor]

With margins matching high end sadly

[hoary zodiac]

Like appealing to the NZXT users

If you're spending money on crappy useless features you might as well buy the better cooler instead of NZXT's overpriced crap

[wraith fern]

ok guys

[worthy meteor]

$95 even

[wraith fern]

4 year old acer monitor (non adjustable stand) what would be a good price for it? it's 1080p with basically no wear. im thinking $45? just wondering if it is a reasonable price

bought it for like 180 or something. it wasnt a great deal

[fresh timber]

Yuh, still good price tbh

[worthy meteor]

$50 sounds reasonable enough

[fresh timber]

Only $30 more than what i paid for my non lcd AIO

[wraith fern]

awesome. just looking to sell it quickly

i trust you

no pyramid scheme here

😍

[fresh timber]

I wish I could still buy a deepcool AIO

[worthy meteor]

This is thermalright we're talking about here, their frozen prism is $56 for a 360mm

[hoary zodiac]

Damn that's a great deal

[wraith fern]

oh ya they're sanctioned in the US. im liking mine

[fresh timber]

When mines dies its going to the bin

I might honestly swap it so I don’t have to deal with no warranty

lol

[sinful blade]

Get creative

[sinful blade]

Danke

[hoary zodiac]

Honestly I'm skeptical about their pumps

For all thermalright really

Only time will tell if the pumps will last

[fresh timber]

I’d buy

Their lcd cooler is going to be my next cooler unless I downsize then I’d go air

Is this guy stupid

He thinks cat 8 makes his ping better

W reply

thinking about it, if he wanted ping he would go for fiber

[opaque sedge]

Guys… u got any recs for a hard type of mouse pad… asking for a friend

[fresh timber]

I want a reason to hate that app

[wraith fern]

yall ever see people selling super messed up stuff they clearly bought like 7 years ago for msrp and wonder if they expect to get any sales

[wraith fern]

what was the point of doing so? is this not what you expected?

[opaque sedge]

[hoary zodiac]

AHAHAHAHA

Violated TOS

[opaque sedge]

Moved it to the left side for more mouse real estate

[wraith fern]

mouse real estate is good

[hoary zodiac]

Would you like a DM explanation too?

[opaque sedge]

Yeah it was legit getting uncomfortable to play with mouse

[wraith fern]

yes

[nocturne flicker]

[dusk knot]

-1000 social credits

[nocturne flicker]

Is the foreign term for Mao's book supposed to be rude and offensive now?

[sour falcon]

har har har

[dusk knot]

Ha ha ha

[dusk knot]

What is the term?

[nocturne flicker]

Little Red Book

[dusk knot]

I can see why

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's why I'm dming instead of posting it in general chat

It's a very touchy subject

[nocturne flicker]

That is the direct translation of the Chinese name for the company, which is not what they called or nicknamed the book in China, but rather what it was called in foreign press

[dusk knot]

Yes

[dusk knot]

Well you know, foreign powers are not in favor of what it instills

[hoary zodiac]

No... It's not so simple

[dusk knot]

Anyways...

[hoary zodiac]

I know for a fact that a significant portion of the Chinese speaking population calls it by that name

[dusk knot]

Huh.

[nocturne flicker]

I thought they called it a treasured book or something

[hoary zodiac]

among others

[sour falcon]

god im ignorant

[velvet summit]

it's as shrimple as that

[hoary zodiac]

I can verify that at least in Hong Kong "little red book" has that connotation

[sour falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-as-that-clash-royale-hee-hee-hee-haw-gif-25054781

[hoary zodiac]

so yeah

I'd keep the name of the app in mind every time someone uses it

[sour falcon]

is all of this about the app people are flocking too from tiktok

[velvet summit]

alternatively, dont use the app

[hoary zodiac]

yes

CCP gonna come after me now

[tranquil pebble]

This did

[dusk knot]

Right right

[tranquil pebble]

absolute fire of a sidescroller

[sour falcon]

real

[hoary zodiac]

I do have HK citizenship so they could legally accuse me of sedition

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, the TOS is explicitly modified to get approved by the Chinese gov't. I wouldn't want to use any social media platform that is directly having their TOS set by or influenced by what their government approves in terms of what people can say

[fresh timber]

thats why we use it

to spit ethe american government

[hoary zodiac]

Jesus...

[velvet summit]

talk about childish lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Then again, I don't use social media outside of Discord or reddit

[hoary zodiac]

That's just

[storm narwhal]

Which honestly is pretty hilarious

[hoary zodiac]

I have no words

[fresh timber]

yeah

[storm narwhal]

Because of how dumb that is

[fresh timber]

in our opinion their not reperseting us and we want

so where going to spite them

[hoary zodiac]

Do what you will

Next time you open the app

Keep in mind the name of the app

[fresh timber]

nobodys taking rednote seriouslty

[velvet summit]

i mean, this doesnt really hurt the government really... unless you're spreading national secrets

though people already do that on war thunder

[hoary zodiac]

And keep in mind the memories of those you're dishonouring

[fresh timber]

which is probably illegal on any other platform

[storm narwhal]

If you wanted to spite them you'd do it on warthunder

[velvet summit]

real

[fresh timber]

baning a platform thats helped many bunissnes and people create a community and make money, they strip peoples livelyhoods, jobs, and freedoms instead of simply passing laws restricting data all companys can collect

[storm narwhal]

If everyone just leaks classified documents to win an argument they can't arrest all of you

[velvet summit]

[hoary zodiac]

That's very ironic

considering the name of the platform you're going to instead

[fresh timber]

to spite them

nobody is seriously going to be using rednotes

[hoary zodiac]

do you have any idea of the history and connotation behind that name?

[fresh timber]

no? does it matter

where doing it out of spite

[sour falcon]

me when history doesnt bother me

[fresh timber]

nobody is really going ot be using rednote

[hoary zodiac]

Do you know how offensive it is to people who have lived through the cultural revolution?

[fresh timber]

do i care? no

i dont even know what ur talking about

[hoary zodiac]

of course you don't

ok

[velvet summit]

💀

[sour falcon]

boeing youre better off talking to a wall atp

[hoary zodiac]

Real

[storm narwhal]

They dont teach that in the us

You know this

[fresh timber]

i passed us history

[storm narwhal]

I'm not sure why you're trying

[fresh timber]

we dont get tought that kinda stuff

[sour falcon]

if its important then yeah no lol

[storm narwhal]

They don't teach global history bro

[velvet summit]

there is so much history that doesnt even get covered in history classes

at least not the mandatory ones

[fresh timber]

blame the education system, not the teachers

[velvet summit]

humans are effed up in history lmao

[fresh timber]

hell blame the same people banning tiktok

[velvet summit]

we arent blaming the teacher

[sour falcon]

that is what humans are best for

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe we uhh

crazy how both gpus are still good too

both cheaper than 4060 and manage to match or be better

[storm narwhal]

IC moment

[fresh timber]

and useable vram :0

[dusk knot]

Thanks

[wraith fern]

i dont use vram

i just tell the pc what to see

[fresh timber]

im fine with 12gb

[tranquil pebble]

its actually a microcontroller board

[fresh timber]

if the 5080 was 12gb vram id be fine too

[hoary zodiac]

https://youtu.be/9n0NkfmMca4

👀

[sour falcon]

its 16 tho

[storm narwhal]

Wonder how much vram the roborock robot arm vaccum cleaner has

[fresh timber]

yeah thats why its if

[tranquil pebble]

my next card will probably be a 5090 if it doesnt get scalped to hell

[fresh timber]

im going 4080 super or 5080, depends on stock and how much money i have at the time

[tranquil pebble]

5090 and 9800x3d would go hard

[storm narwhal]

Can you program it to yeet socks

[sour falcon]

can i have some of your copium

we all know scalpers will take them

[fresh timber]

IJ game flipped my resolution up

wtf

.. the cut scenes are running 30 fps

damn

yeah im getting off tis game, mf doesnt have upscaling

ayee turning dynamic lighting off fixed my pfs

[dusk knot]

5800x3d and 5090

[tranquil pebble]

people on ebay casually letting themselves be scammed by the tousands

[fresh timber]

13600kf and 5090

ima bottleneck the flip out of my cpu

[tranquil pebble]

(this thing is like $250 new)

[hoary zodiac]

AHAHAHAHHAHAAH

[tranquil pebble]

ebay is full of fools apparently

[tranquil pebble]

5800x3d doesnt exist, scalpers cancelled it

[wraith fern]

if ur on newegg enough you can get a 9800x3d

had a friend who spent like a month tryna get one

its tough w/ all the bots

[sour falcon]

bots should be illegal

[wraith fern]

or maybe there aren't bots and its just that competitive. but i doubt it

[tranquil pebble]

no worries

[wraith fern]

480 jeeeez

9800x3ds are expensive.

[sour falcon]

heck, ill make one just to buy a single item of what i want so i have a chance of getting anything

[wraith fern]

actually 480 isnt that bad. maybe ill get one late this year

[fresh timber]

doesnt a 5800x3d beat a 7600

[tranquil pebble]

480 is cheap for a CPU of that capability

Remember, it smashes an Ultra 9 in gaming lol

[wraith fern]

yeah i know. 480 isnt that bad for the power

but like, 480 is a lot. especially for me

[nocturne flicker]

Just be born rich 🙃

Ez

[tranquil pebble]

yeah enthusiast CPUs are not cheap

never have been

Arguably they are cheaper now than ever though

[wraith fern]

my 12700k is fine

[tranquil pebble]

Long gone are the days of $1,000 Intel Extremes

[wraith fern]

shoulda gotten a 12900... big mistake

but wtv

my keeb is more than my cpu lol

[nocturne flicker]

What

Why

[dusk knot]

How much did you pay?

[tranquil pebble]

most balanced build

[tranquil pebble]

479.00, which is MSRP

[wraith fern]

well maybe not wait how much is a 12700k now

[dusk knot]

Ah

[wraith fern]

theyre about the same. 200 each

[dusk knot]

I'll get one when it drops below 300 dollars lol

[nocturne flicker]

I use a $40 Rosewill keyboard I got on Newegg

[tranquil pebble]

Scalpers are not getting a single penny from me

[wraith fern]

i used a 40 dollar keyboard for 5 years

besides, id need a new motherboard, new ram and a new cpu if i chose to upgrade

[dusk knot]

What 5090 do you have your eye on?

[nocturne flicker]

Actually it wasn't 40, it was $25

[wraith fern]

awful

[hoary zodiac]

I think you can get a hotswap mech kit for pretty cheap these days

Or a prebuilt hotswap board

[fresh timber]

ugh

u know what i would love

a 5k 27 inch monitor

[wraith fern]

5k?

[fresh timber]

i still miss how clear the legion go display is

1440p at 8 inches is like

so clear

[storm narwhal]

Pretty sure its base resolution is 1080 at best

[fresh timber]

wot

its a 1600 by 1440 display

[nocturne flicker]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16823201129

Highest quality

[fresh timber]

soo clearrr

[fresh timber]

frfr

g

[storm narwhal]

Oh I mixed it up with the upcoming one

[fresh timber]

got the res wrong

its 2560 1600

[storm narwhal]

Its 1920x1200 for the upcoming one

[fresh timber]

ts like 400ppi or something like that

[fresh timber]

its the budget one

makes sense

[storm narwhal]

Stupid having so much on an 8 inch screen IMO

[fresh timber]

the legion go is 343.05

[fresh timber]

not really, if u see it in person its.. amazing

[storm narwhal]

Scale 200% to see any elements

[fresh timber]

its super clear and big

its the clearest display iv ever seen

[storm narwhal]

Wasting the pixel space of 2560x1600

While using more resources

[fresh timber]

to be fair, do u think you can keep the same clarity with lower res

i dont think many people complain about higher res unless they cant run the fps well, in that case the legion go lets you lower the res in its app

[storm narwhal]

I dont need extreme clarity on an 8 inch screen

[fresh timber]

why? it looks nice

ur complaining over a nice display

[storm narwhal]

I just need it to look like a phone in terms of clarity

[storm narwhal]

Because the hardware can't run it native without a hit to thermals and battery

[fresh timber]

i belive its around my phone persoanly

[fresh timber]

when i had it the battery and thermals didnt have a problem whe nu used approprate settings

[storm narwhal]

Not native

Exactly my point

[fresh timber]

i dont see a problem including a good display and letting you lower the res manualy

if ur playing something like terraria the screen looks nice and doesnt kill ur battery

[storm narwhal]

Then it gets worse if you lower it cause it doesn't scale properly

[fresh timber]

it has amazing scaling..

[storm narwhal]

And you're again, wasting the native resolution

[fresh timber]

have you ever touched a legion go?

[storm narwhal]

No

[fresh timber]

makes sense

[storm narwhal]

Never wanted to lol

[fresh timber]

touch it and u fall inlove

[nocturne flicker]

It isn't actually that bad. It is membrane, but they get the job done and there is aluminum to stiffen the body of the keyboard so it isn't just pepeg flexboard

[fresh timber]

not the price tho

[fresh timber]

membrain=poop unless laptop

[storm narwhal]

Nah I'd still want the steam deck

[fresh timber]

or small keyboard

[fresh timber]

you do you, perosanlly im a fan of the faster chips in these handhelds

[storm narwhal]

Most of the games I'd play are on steam and it's got dual trackpads

[fresh timber]

even the z1 extreme at 720p struggles on some of my games, let alone a mf steamdeck

[storm narwhal]

Windows overhead

[fresh timber]

who said used windows

i installed "steam" os on it

[storm narwhal]

It runs windows default

[fresh timber]

great thing the bios isnt locked

i wiped windows and installed bazzite on it

no more overhead

and comparing games between linux and windows, basicly the same fps

just linux was a nicer ui

WAYYY more controller friendly

[nocturne flicker]

I don't get anything out of mechanical over membrane. As long as the board isn't flexing and causing problems due to just being low quality, it is fine

[tranquil pebble]

AIO/hybrid cooler ones

[storm narwhal]

I'd still go for a steam deck

[fresh timber]

if i can type on it and not take 50 years to adjust im happy

[fresh timber]

you do you, it depends on how u use it and what your playing, steamdeck is fine for ur indie games

[storm narwhal]

If I wanted portable performance I'd just get a laptop

[dusk knot]

Oh....I hope you have the money

That's expensive

[tranquil pebble]

I will

[fresh timber]

tbh i looked at laptops, couldnt fine any at the $500 mark that arnt.. bad

[storm narwhal]

I'm not paying out the wazoo for 2k on an 8" screen with still worse mobile performance

[fresh timber]

thats fine if u are fine iwth tht

[storm narwhal]

I'd just pay up more for a 14" screen with a good dgpu

[fresh timber]

rip battery

nad footprint

[tranquil pebble]

trust me I know

[fresh timber]

im buying a m4 macbook pro in a few months ima be gamingggg

aka moonlight

make gaming pc do the work

i can prob get the mac to run a few titles i want like minecraft

[tranquil pebble]

ill get something more basic if it becomes loan-territory expensive though

Tumblr more like tumblrweed
