n100 isn't e-waste tier

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I like my N100. Perfect RPi replacement

[nocturne flicker]

Things deployed enmasse for schools and such that don't need to be fast

[rancid juniper]

I keep seeing that and the J4105 ALOT

[hoary zodiac]

pentium/celerons are released obsolete

especially on mobile

that's why they're crap

[craggy shoal]

I want an N300 PC lowkey lol

[hoary zodiac]

n100 is actually one of the most based intel moves recently

[rancid juniper]

wow 7 watts

[craggy shoal]

6W TDP and does more than a Raspberry Pi 💀

[rancid juniper]

lol no way

[craggy shoal]

Yeah it's nuts

[hoary zodiac]

you can literally power that off usb c pd

[rancid juniper]

XD

[craggy shoal]

They should put those in laptops but they only come in mini PCs for some reason

[hoary zodiac]

can you power it off non ubs pd?

[craggy shoal]

Wrong. Absolute Chad CPU

[hoary zodiac]

what's the usb c spec for power delivery?

not to be confused with USB C PD

[velvet summit]

depends on if it goes over 7 watts and if it needs more power for other stuff like drives which is likely

[hoary zodiac]

ah

so say

15w USB C PD to be safe

[rancid juniper]

y'know it would be interesting to make a low powered mini pc, power target could be something under <50w

[velvet summit]

usb non-pd is like 10w yeah

[hoary zodiac]

we need power strips to come with USB PD by default these days

with how many lower power devices that can be powered off that

[craggy shoal]

N100 and N300 are vastly underrated CPUs. I wish they were put in more systems where they'd make sense

[hoary zodiac]

space saver

[rancid juniper]

pair it with low powered dedicated gpu

[hoary zodiac]

meanwhile garbage tier pentium/celerons are still on shelves

[craggy shoal]

Yeah perfect Plex server

[rancid juniper]

real

[craggy shoal]

We need a desktop N100 variant 🗣️🗣️

[hoary zodiac]

nah intel too busy making core "ultra"

[craggy shoal]

Lemme put an N300 into a Proxmox server

[rancid juniper]

dude thats the INtel 300

[hoary zodiac]

can't have a good cpu lineup no no it's 2025

[velvet summit]

truenas i think put it in their "consumer" nas.... for way too overpriced lmao

[craggy shoal]

Core N Ultra 300K would be crazy

[hoary zodiac]

don't they sell N100 nas boards?

https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/N100M/index.asp

asrock sells these

https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/N100DC-ITX/index.fa.asp

[rancid juniper]

[hoary zodiac]

why is the center micro

why not nano

[dusk knot]

They don't need the best

[random osprey]

thanks for picking up my order for me jp

[hoary zodiac]

the primes are decent value tbh

for Z790

[rancid juniper]

not thinking about that, just happy its something recent

[hoary zodiac]

not like the ROG strix crap

actually a great choice

[rancid juniper]

ROG hater energy

valid

[hoary zodiac]

there are the good ROG stuff and the bad ROG stuff

mainly laptops

[velvet summit]

so little useful IO for a NAS solution though.... unfortunately

[hoary zodiac]

you could probably get a pcie sata controller

[velvet summit]

yes you can, but it's still not really ideal

well, this does look like it's meant for like a mini ish pc

[fresh timber]

[hoary zodiac]

[velvet summit]

but for a nas, there's way too much unnecessary usb lmao

[hoary zodiac]

mehhhhhhhhhh

not enough sata

wait

it has 4

ok that's not bad tbh

[dusk knot]

Oh right right 🤔

[rancid juniper]

got ya thinkin

whats the cpu for this build btw?

[dusk knot]

I still haven't spent enough money to buy one 5090.....

[rancid juniper]

lol throw that away

its not worth it trust

[dusk knot]

Comes to show how the 5090 is overpriced

You could build 2 computers at the same price

[fresh timber]

[misty sparrow]

hear me out

[fresh timber]

no

[misty sparrow]

ok

[fresh timber]

ok i will

what do u want me to hear out

[dusk knot]

Exactly

[misty sparrow]

fast food joints that don't put any seasoning in the chicken and are carried just by the sauce are mid

chickfila, dairy queen, etc

popeyes has best chicken

[rough elbow]

if i were to buy a $500 new egg gc, will i get it in time before a deal ends in 6 hours?

[rancid juniper]

ok i can agree on that but chickfila aint that bad

i can eat their chicken just fine without any sauce

[misty sparrow]

its pretty bland

[mortal grail]

Digital cards are usually quick but none of us work for NE nor can we guarantee it

[misty sparrow]

they do sell the chickfila sauce in stores though

[rancid juniper]

never knew that

[misty sparrow]

imagine if i bought popeyes chicken right now and applied the sauce to them

[icy ore]

Imagine if you bought Popeyes

[random osprey]

i need wing stop to sell bottles of their mango habanero sauce

[misty sparrow]

never had wingstop

[mortal grail]

I can't afford the spinach diet a pet like that would need

[icy ore]

https://tenor.com/view/popeye-gif-21394273

[fresh nova]

So

Can anyone tweak this build. I'm trying to sell my desktop (not here in Wegg I know the rules) but I'm trying to sell it in general because I'm moving but I don't know what to price the parts as.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zyws8Q

Anyone willing to tweak the prices to more reflect what they're worth in 2025?

[fresh timber]

dwhat are you looking to change?

[fresh nova]

Well the PC Part Picker lists reflects the prices of the parts "new" which of course they're not. I'm trying to see what it's worth in 2025.

So I can sell it.

I'm also not sure if it should be sold as an entire desktop or individual parts...

[velvet summit]

individual will net more money usually but is more effort

may be easier to find buyers for individual parts

[fresh nova]

How much should I ask for each part, do you mind throwing together a quick list of what you would realisticly ask in 2025.

[fresh timber]

off the top of my head, around 1k 1.2k

if u want it goin

32gb ram, 1tb nvme 4070 super, all good stuff

[fresh nova]

It does need to be gone yes because I'm moving & my new life involves constant travel which means my laptop is all I need.

[fresh timber]

o wow

well if u want it goin 1k will get it our ur hair easily

[prisma mountain]

I got 990 2 TB for 160 USD, where are you looking??

[fresh nova]

I'm cool with asking 1K for it. But I'll try for cash 1K and not PayPal etc.. where they take a fee.

[velvet summit]

yeah 1k should be easy

[fresh nova]

I was asking because I was trying to find out the price of my current drive to add to the PCPP list.

[prisma mountain]

Ah ok

[velvet summit]

1.2k would be a "fair" price for you, though it may be hard to find buyers

[fresh timber]

try local

[fresh nova]

I could start there & just be flexible with the floor being $1K.

[fresh timber]

if u really wanted money you could put it at 1.5k somebody would prob buy it

[velvet summit]

if you sold every part individually, you would have been able to get around 1.2k-1.3k maybe

[fresh nova]

I agree but may take longer, I also don't have any of it in a case yet so I will need to find a case to throw it in.

[fresh timber]

yeah

i think fishtanks unforuntly sell quick

[dusk knot]

I would.

[velvet summit]

slap some rgb in it

[fresh timber]

rgb, fish tank, easy sell

[fresh nova]

I can make that happen

fans incluided too, just put ur parts in it , list for $1000 on fb and like 1.2k on ebay and jawa.gg

[dusk knot]

SOLD!

[fresh timber]

man

[fresh nova]

I def like FB marketplace best. I'd for sure try to sell local vs shipping a desktop.

[fresh timber]

yeah

off topic, instead of making my pc an a3 machine i think its best to wait till i can jsut make a almsot entirely new pc build, im too deep in

having to buy new motherboard is basicly the only expensive bit

aint really worth with current platform

[fresh nova]

Thanks guys I think that's what I'll do

I won't sell yet until I sign the job offer letter but once I do that then I'll be official so I'll feel safe to sell it.

[pseudo raven]

[fresh nova]

Especially for playing rust

[fresh timber]

I play rust over the network

I load rust over my nas for funny

sata ssds? why specifically sata, i thought nvme > sata

unless you mean those ssds that can fit in a HDD drivebay or something

Hi

[frigid stag]

Is it big difference between 144 and 240 coming from like 60 to 75hz

[fresh timber]

165 to 240 is very very hard to tell

144-240 less hard

120-240, easy to tell

after 200fps u really cant tell

[frigid stag]

It kinda looks like 240 but idk I’ve never tried over 120hz

I’ll probably go 165hz then they’re cheaper now that they’re making 500hz Monitors

Can’t even imagine what 500hz is like must be like irl

[fresh timber]

from what i hear, big diffence

just good luck

getting 500fps

It's called the fourth of july not july fourth

DD/MM/YYYY is the correct format

[hoary zodiac]

That is also functional

[fresh timber]

[craggy shoal]

This is the best date format. Great for file management

[craggy shoal]

I actually hate it

i grew up on month day year so i prefer it

[hoary zodiac]

we can all agree that mm/dd/yyyy is the worst

[fresh timber]

[devout forum]

would appreciate that
The part I'm most interested in is the VRR flicker

[velvet summit]

I'll have to agree on that front
It's what I grew up on but I also feel it's strange

[devout forum]

if the flicker isn't too bad the AOC is an instant buy for me

[fresh timber]

vrr flicker

what does it look like

is it a oled thing

[velvet summit]

Flickering

[craggy shoal]

The best formats and units:

• yyyy/mm/dd
• F for body temp, C for anything else (anybody who argues this doesn't deserve an opinion)
• Metric > imperial

[fresh timber]

I AGREE ON THE TEMPTURE pART

[velvet summit]

It can happen on any monitor but it's more common on OLED

[hoary zodiac]

C is for everything 👍🏻

[fresh timber]

F is sooo much better for knowing how ur body feels

100f ur hot, 0f, your cold

50f is warm ish

so simple

[velvet summit]

That only works if you grew up with Fahrenheit

[fresh timber]

great

new egg is american

safe to assume most here grew up with it

i learned celcius with pc temptures

i can read it for body temp a little. i just prefer F for that

sounds weird calling 30c HOT

[velvet summit]

This server is honestly surprisingly diverse in nationalities and alot of the active members are not even in North america

[craggy shoal]

"C for everything" you just don't know how Fahrenheit works 💀

Felix is Australian

[hoary zodiac]

Nah we don't

[fresh timber]

its simple, below 50 is your cold wear a jacket, above 50 is ur warm

[hoary zodiac]

That's why we have one standard for everything

To be fair F for body temp isn't bad

[fresh timber]

f has more useable than Celcius

[craggy shoal]

That’s why it was created lol

[hoary zodiac]

Oh is it?

[craggy shoal]

Yep

[fresh timber]

iv never used F for anything other than temtpure, in science we use celcious

[hoary zodiac]

Ok that's completely valid then

[velvet summit]

The problem with the metric and imperial argument is that people prefer a certain unit of measurement that they're more used to, when both could make sense as long as you have reference points for the scales of that measurement

[craggy shoal]

The current date is 2025/01/20 and if you say anything else your opinion is invalid

I hate inches

I’m American

[velvet summit]

It's honestly a pointless argument because it's more or less a preference thing

[fresh timber]

i have the perfect argument for F, you dont have to decimles nearly as much as Celcius

whole numbers are better

[hoary zodiac]

Based motor

[fresh timber]

inches

[craggy shoal]

"Yeah this thingamabob is about 11.09375 inches" like bro I’m not comprehending that decimal 💀

[fresh timber]

i like inches cause thats what they teach

cm ass

[velvet summit]

That being said, most of the world uses metric and that's probably enough argument that everybody should standardize on that unit (which we do, imperial measurements are calibrated to the metric system due to trade)

[fresh timber]

convice my government to use metric or what ever

:p

[velvet summit]

I won't even try

It's pointless

[wispy knot]

All the smart people in the US use metric already (scientists, doctors, etc)

[fresh timber]

and thats why we will forever have this problem of metric vs imperial

in the stuff that matters metric is being used anyways

[hoary zodiac]

Kelvin 👍🏻

Same thing tbh

Just +- 273.15

[fresh timber]

@craggy shoal does ur rednote randomly give u notifcations too

[velvet summit]

Kelvin is metric, and has the same scale as celcius

[velvet summit]

Also it's - since Kelvin starts at absolute 0

[craggy shoal]

Also, just know the imperial conversions lmao. I learned 273C, 0C, 38C, and 100C. You can learn:

• 1' = 12"
• 1 yard = 3'
• 1 miles = 5280'

[fresh timber]

That's literally how we ended up with a random ass number for number of feet in a mile

[craggy shoal]

Idk why we use horsepower though

Like what is that

[hoary zodiac]

Horse power

[wispy knot]

That's an easy one. In the early days of automotives they wanted to have an easy way to compare motor power to horses.

[craggy shoal]

And then somehow this amount of torque at this rpm divided by 5252 (yes, 5252 and no other number) equals the amount of horsepower at that rpm? That’s weird to me

[wispy knot]

That's just physics

This is ridiculous

[devout forum]

It's so much simpler with scientific systems
0 C water freezes
100 C water boils

Fahrenheit makes literally no sense if you didn't grow up in it
And even if you did it's weird to say normal body temp is like 98

Like
IT'S NOT EVEN A ROUND NUMBER

Tbf it's not with C either, but 36 between 0 and 100 is still more understandable than 98 between some stupid arbitrary numbers that now I have to look up

Okay which is easier to gauge?
36 between 0 to 100
Or
98 between 32 and 212

Are you a fan of Jay?

Some people don’t like him but personally I have no problems with him. I think he does nice builds.

[storm narwhal]

Its a god damn SI unit for a reason

[devout forum]

Yeah it's logical

[wispy knot]

It's hit or miss with him. He's alright if you consider him to be mostly entertainment value.

[wispy knot]

You know the answer to this. Because it's 'murican. It's something 'murica does that no one else does, so it must be great.

WOOOOO GO CANCER

WE'RE #1 in preventable deaths

[misty sparrow]

cancer gives insurance companies money

[wispy knot]

Which is exactly why there's no cure

The money is in treatment, not a cure

And people that survive cancer are more likely to get it again

So if they can drag out the treatment long enough they can gouge a patient twice

[misty sparrow]

I wish I was rich

[fresh nova]

Immunotherapy is on method to actually cure cancer

Few modified immune cells to properly target the bad & BANG bye bye cancer.

[misty sparrow]

so it's breaking the bad?

[wispy knot]

That's been theorized for a long time but the trick is getting the modified virus to target the cancer cells while leaving the normal cells alone

[storm narwhal]

Hopefully

The theory is relatively simple but loosing them on the body is pretty worrying

[fresh nova]

They’ve successfully done it with Leukemia

There are no doubt actual cures

[wispy knot]

It makes sense they'd target one of the ones more prevalent in children for social points

[fresh nova]

But like was said insurance & health care corporations would never allow it to happen

It’s sad

[misty sparrow]

so i guess we will never break the bad

[sage sluice]

The only health they care about is how healthy their bank accounts are while keeping you on a leash

Big Pharma would like to have a word with you

[worn wave]

I'm actually going to argue against this. For science, Celsius is for sure better. But for the range of temperatures you experience in everyday life, Farenheit offers a good 0-100 scale

Core body temp is irrelevant; 'room temp' is like 68-72F not 98

[velvet summit]

Except at the same time, since I grew up with celcius, I have no clue what 0f and 100f feels like
Well, I have a general idea, I know that 0f is below 0c, and 100f is also below 100c
If I based the scale off of how I feel temperatures to be, 30c would be 100f to me and -5c or whatever would be 0 to me

[worn wave]

0F = really cold
100F = really hot
*For humans

[craggy shoal]

Yeah we discussed that last night

[devout forum]

That STILL doesn't make any sense tho

[velvet summit]

Hmm

If 0 is really cold, then that would be more like -30 to me then

[devout forum]

Again

Celsius 0 is water freezing

So 0 is REALLY flipping cold

[craggy shoal]

idc Fahrenheit was made for human body temperature

Just learn to use both lol it's really not that hard

[worn wave]

I suppose it also depends where you live. I don't consider 0C/32F to be all that cold but if you live in a warmer place, below freezing is probably unheard of

[velvet summit]

My argument against Fahrenheit is just purely that people that grew up with celcius would be perfectly fine with the celcius scale for what temperature they're feeling

[worn wave]

Yeah I'm not saying people should like learn Farenheit instead of Celsius, just defending that it does make sense for humans

[craggy shoal]

"It's what I've known first and therefore it's correct" is a psychology thing that a lot of people don't notice. If you take the effort to learn Fahrenheit, you'll realize that using Celsius for human body temperature is wrong (maybe not wrong, but much less convenient)

[worn wave]

It was -12C when I went to my first class this morning lol

[proud jackal]

36F today

[velvet summit]

But on the other side, you also grew up using Fahrenheit, so you'd feel like it is more convenient or makes more sense

[craggy shoal]

Sure, but I learned Celsius. And not just to measure a computer's temperature

[velvet summit]

I said this last night (for me anyways) but the arguments between metric and imperial are pretty much pointless because everyone is just arguing for the unit they grew up with

[proud jackal]

freedom units

[craggy shoal]

I still don't like the horsepower measurement tbh. It should be kilowatts

[worn wave]

Horsepower is so weird

America does use watts/kilowatts for electrical stuff, horsepower mostly for combustion engines as far as I know

[velvet summit]

Mfw 1 horse has more than 1 horse power

[craggy shoal]

like roughly 15 horsepower I think

And then other sources say 8

[velvet summit]

Because different horses and breeds would have different horse power

[worn wave]

So fun fact it's because of how we've selectively bred horses since the horsepower unit was made

[craggy shoal]

But I think back then horsepower was based on a single horse, so 1 horse made 1hp (iirc)

doesn't make sense 💀

[velvet summit]

Even without selective breeding, there would have been a fairly significant margin of error between horses

Unless we got that royal standard horse for measuring horse power

[worn wave]

Yeah true, it might also have do do with a horses sustainable output vs peak, I forget

[velvet summit]

I wonder how many people in the world could look at "28 horsepower" and know how powerful that is

[craggy shoal]

my car makes more than that per cylinder lol

I think it was this video that taught me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRROa_plpTc

[mental yoke]

Should I get a ryzen 3

For cheap computer

[velvet summit]

Your car makes more power than one of those old like vw beetles per cylinder then
Iirc peak hp of the base model was like around 28 hp

[mental yoke]

Trying to do the best cheap build

Ngl

[rancid juniper]

ryzen 5 if you can

[craggy shoal]

My car makes 160 hp lol it's not fast

[velvet summit]

There are a few generations of r3, which one are you referring to anyways

[mental yoke]

Eh sure

[mental yoke]

[craggy shoal]

And probably less of each because of engine degredation

[rancid juniper]

still can take you places

[craggy shoal]

NO

I NEED TO GET RID OF IT

IT'S BORING

160 HP IS SLOW

DON'T LIKE

nah but yeah you're right

I still want a GTI just to make a reliable 300 hp

ew no

GTI

Jetta will blow up before my Focus's transmission 💀

Nah I watch a hatchback. GTI

or R if I can afford it

[velvet summit]

Me when the gear ratios are short on a 20 horsepower engine

What a monster frrr no cap

[craggy shoal]

PEAK TORQUE AT 2000 RPMs (50 lb-ft)

Transmission will probably blow up if I give it more horsepower. It's also NA so there's no point anyways

If I had a manual Focus then maybe

steering lag?

You mean torque steering?

my guy it's a Mk3 Focus. It's not gonna have drive by wire or anything nice 💀

The nicest thing about my car is the infotainment, which doesn't even have CarPlay

Bro acts like I have 5090 money (I do if I sell my car, which CarFax values at $2100)

Yeah but it's added to some luxury vehicles

ass feature ngl

[velvet summit]

Honestly
I feel like I would like it, at least for daily driving, for a variable steering ratio

That being said, the cars I drive are still like rack and pinion driven lmfao

[craggy shoal]

ehhhh

I like my mechanical, instantly responds to my input steering

When I turn the wheel, I don't want the wheels to turn half a second later than my input at its garbage maximum acceleration

Bruh no thanks 💀
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jxCpxdxHfZY

[lone mango]

Lmaooo its like gta

[craggy shoal]

If it can be done reliably, responded to my exact input instantaneously, sure, why not? I don't trust it rn though

[velvet summit]

it's a mix for me
i would like immediate response for like track but like, when i am just driving regularly, drive by wire isnt the worst thing as long as it's decent
steer by wire has been done on planes for a long while, though i guess those normally dont need to take evasive manouvers lmao

[eager sapphire]

Guess I have to wire both ends

Not showing that the cable is plugged in at all on either computer

[lone mango]

[craggy shoal]

Do you use 568A or 568B?

[velvet summit]

you do not need a crossover cable for modern nics

also crossover cable used to only be required for same device connections (e.g. pc to pc, switch to switch, router to router)

[craggy shoal]

man I watch a whole box of patch cable and a termination kit

[velvet summit]

me looking at a whole box of patch cable and a termination kit

[craggy shoal]

I need lmao

[velvet summit]

lmao

[gleaming sedge]

So I do need one

I give up I don't have time for this anymore just have to buy a crossover cable or say screw it and sell everything since I'm never home anymore

Normal ethernet cable or the crossover cable neither work so it ain't gonna work

[gleaming sedge]

I followed this video https://youtu.be/VZZq7MbvAuE?si=blHteLQJqSL18zx3

[velvet summit]

at least for older devices yes

[gleaming sedge]

Ok so buy new pc for that and problems will be solved

[velvet summit]

like pre-2010 era basically, i dont remember the year that the auto mdx or whatever it was called became a standard feature

[gleaming sedge]

I have no clue how old the pc is so just buy a adapter and wifi card for it

That also means I have to be home to do anything but if I'm not at work I'm at my girlfriends so I never get to do things I'd like or need to do

[velvet summit]

also i thought your setup was like 3 pcs connected to a switch

[gleaming sedge]

No I was asking that encase I wanted to do that

[velvet summit]

you wouldnt need a crossover cable for that, if it's pc -> switch -> pc

ahh

[gleaming sedge]

I'm just trying to connect my plex server pc to the pc that has dvd drives in it for ripping the movies and so I don't have to take out the hard drive every time I finish ripping movies

[velvet summit]

honestly i would recommend setting up a router or smth so that you dont have to configure the network interfaces every time you want to do your ad hoc network and then go back to "regular" networks

[gleaming sedge]

Yea ripping out the hard drive every time sounds much more easier than that

[velvet summit]

ah that would work, you already have a plex server pc, you could probably delegate the role of "router" to that as well so that you can have a dhcp server and such, much more convenient that way

[brittle lynx]

man I just want to redo my entire setup but im too poor

[velvet summit]

i want to overhaul my entire house's networking but i dont have enough funds to reasonably do it

especially since i want to put APs outside as well, so i can use the wifi in the backyard

the wifi coverage only barely gets to the deck, especially with how much RF the brick exterior is blocking

[pliant berry]

yeah I also want to redo a lot of the home networking. but really just all the rack stuff. like changing out the current network switch, moving all the lines to a patch panel instead of straight to switch, moving the APs I have since they are horribly placed rn

[velvet summit]

lmao

similar amount of effort to what i want to do as well then

[pliant berry]

I just don't want to pay for all the patch cables and have to rewire everything

[velvet summit]

except for my situation, it would require a new installation, rather than moving things around, since there's no lines run

[pliant berry]

yeah luckily I already have lines run, at most I might have to add a few smaller switches to some rooms like the office

[velvet summit]

it's significantly more powerful than the original switch but at the same time the switch was quite underpowered the year it came out

in other words, switch 2 is still relatively underpowered for current gen lol

[misty sparrow]

close to PS4/Xbox One is pretty bad

[fresh timber]

ps4 an run forntite with good graphics at 60fps

[nocturne flicker]

Frostpunk is a RTS that is set in some sort of winter dystopia. It is on my to play list

[craggy shoal]

Ehhhh

No wonder I haven't heard of it

[nocturne flicker]

Well, more like city builder than rts

[worthy meteor]

basically city builder survival

[nocturne flicker]

Banished but not unfinished mess and winter survival

Wait, does anybody even remember Banished?

[tranquil pebble]

I found it too hard tbh

[worthy meteor]

I finished one of the scenarios, but the scenario that's the start of the apocalypse was too hard and I gave up on that one

The last autumn was the name, that one was too hard to start lol

you have to do some weird thing with making people starve before you can even get your first food source

[opaque sedge]

Whats the superior frostpunk 1 or 2?

[worthy meteor]

the newer game is generally going to be better but I haven't played 2

Should definitely try the first one when it's just $3 lol

and I was able to run the first one off a potato laptop

[frigid stag]

I mean it is kinda old so

Then again games were more optimised

6 fps 1% lows on a 4090 is garbage

It’s like devs are in a competition who can make the worst running game

[proud jackal]

It's ok, DLSS fix everything

[icy ore]

Dolphins are buttholes man

[random osprey]

my favorite videos are divers that just chill with those like tiger sharks or whatever and just pet them

[worthy meteor]

I wonder what they're doing there, a 12400f and 4060 at 1080p ultra hits 28fps min

I really feel like I can get it to do more than 6fps on 0.1% lows with a 3060ti even at 4k ultra lol

tempted to buy it just to test it

[worn wave]

steam has the 2hr refund period...

[worthy meteor]

yea but this is something I do want to buy sometime in the future

don't think steam looks fondly on refunding and rebuying within a short timeframe

[tranquil pebble]

yeah it looks abusive

[worn wave]

As long as you aren't refunding very often they don't care

fully automated < 2hours

[worthy meteor]

unfortunately I've already received that particular steam email lmao

lemme see if I can find it

[worn wave]

Oh lmao

how many refunds did it take? I can't seem to find a number out there

[worthy meteor]

I think it was 4? It was a while ago

[worn wave]

huh

I wonder if other account activity plays a factor as well

Like how many games you've bought (& kept) and if you buy things on the community marketplace

[tranquil pebble]

was it 4 games in a row?

I treat the refund as a last resort type deal generally

[wraith fern]

for some games 2hrs isnt even enough to download

its 2 hours after it installs?

[worthy meteor]

I need to actually find where that email was

it's 2 hours of playtime

[worn wave]

Yes 2 hours of playtime logged

[wraith fern]

oh ok thats what i thought

[worthy meteor]

you can download it and not touch it for a week

[wraith fern]

yeah ok thats what i thought

[worn wave]

Though if it has a 3rd party launcher that it downloads from, the playtime will count up when you have the launcher open

[worn wave]

up to 2 weeks

[wraith fern]

@worthy meteor can i have it for a year and still get a refund?

ah damn

rip!

i bought r6 seige and i dont like it 💀

[misty sparrow]

Marine biologists:

[worthy meteor]

finally found the emails, this was years ago, this is the message that was on the 3rd refund within around a month

this was the 4th

[worn wave]

If it's been years and you've bought & kept games since then, i wouldn't worry about an occasional refund here and there. Def keep it under 1 per month though

[worthy meteor]

wait I mean 4th and 5th

but yea

[random osprey]

[icy ore]

[worthy meteor]

had to dig through a bunch of old emails

[worn wave]

refunds are not a method for trying out games
Well IMO with the current state of game releases and lack of demos they really should be lol

It's either that or hoisting the black flag

[worthy meteor]

in my defense, it was back when I had a crap laptop and I straight up couldn't run the games and refunded with like 3 minutes of playtime lol

[tranquil pebble]

craptop moment

[worthy meteor]

it was a weird laptop nvidia chip so I couldn't figure out if I met minimum requirements for games at the time
