general-chat

[sage sluice]

Been almost 15 minutes btw

[worn wave]

Assuming it has TAA, quality upscaling is probably about as good + you get extra frames

[sage sluice]

"Now compiling shaders to optimize pc performance."

"To optimize pc performance"

"Optimize"

"Performance"

[worn wave]

Shader comp is normal, 15 minutes isn't lol

[sage sluice]

Ive never had a game take this long

[dusk knot]

15 mins....

[sage sluice]

Shoot even stalker 2 took like a minute

[rancid juniper]

Unfortunately not, there was no ray tracing with the first play test and we know how bad the performance went

[dusk knot]

the last game that had terrible load times was jedi survivor

[rancid juniper]

Yea this game has the longest shader comp I've ever seen, probably longer than the last of us/uncharted 4

[dusk knot]

smh

[sage sluice]

Btw

This is gonna be a 20+ minute load time

Thats

[rancid juniper]

Bro I'm seeing around 45fps on Native

😭

[sage sluice]

How is that even possible

[sage sluice]

Pathtrace it no balls

[rancid juniper]

I will max everything dw

At native

[sage sluice]

This is pc gaming as jenson intended

[rancid juniper]

5fps gaming

[sage sluice]

Holy

Cyperpunk at least gets like 20-25 native for me on pathtracing

5 is absurd

[rancid juniper]

Test it on your GPU @dusk knot

[sage sluice]

And i guarantee the graphics dont make up for it

[dusk knot]

" just buy a better GPU..."- jensen probably

[dusk knot]

sure

[rancid juniper]

I was joking on that one, I haven't tested RT yet

[sage sluice]

Me when this will run awful on a 5090 just to look like fallout 4

[sage sluice]

The worst part is it was believable enough for me

Btw btw

The first thing it asks for is frame generation

Isnt that promising

[rancid juniper]

ok not too bad ig

This is ultra + Native resolution (FXAA + TAA) - No RT

[sage sluice]

NO YOURE KIDDING

[dusk knot]

oh god...im running out or storage on my PC

[sage sluice]

ON THE LOADING SCREEN

ITS STILL LOADING IN SHADERE

[rancid juniper]

😏

[sage sluice]

LMAOO

[rancid juniper]

lmfao

[sage sluice]

I want to emphasize this benchmark was about 30 gigs

How is that even

[rancid juniper]

I can hear my GPU screaming after selecting RT high

The time has come

[dusk knot]

i better beat this

[rancid juniper]

Lol u wont

[sage sluice]

I clicked benchmark

Didnt touch settings

[dusk knot]

😡

[rancid juniper]

Ultra?

What resolution?

[dusk knot]

what are the graphics settings?

[sage sluice]

Holy crap the german voice acting is so mid

[rancid juniper]

beat this:

[sage sluice]

This game literally looks the same as the last one what

Last one ran really good on my XBOX ONE S

[rancid juniper]

Monster Hunter world was built for potatoes

[sage sluice]

And it literally looked on par to this

[dusk knot]

the download is almost done

[sage sluice]

What happened to the game industry man

[rancid juniper]

I think the only difference is textures and lighting

[dusk knot]

laziness and the desire to make money quick

[lone mango]

Wow I love games that were made post 2023

[sage sluice]

With the default recommended settings, hdr on and second monitor on, this is what i got

[rancid juniper]

NGL... RT is very light so far

[rancid juniper]

Nice

[dusk knot]

Compiling shaders. My god. It’s not moving

[sage sluice]

Welcome to hell

[rancid juniper]

Wait 15 mins bro

Imma assume that your ultra preset includes FSR 3 - Quality

[dusk knot]

My gen 4 ssd isn’t enough

[mortal grail]

That's not bad

[sage sluice]

Now im gonna run settings i would use myself

[rancid juniper]

I'm actually 2fps away from his GRE

My OC ain't even strong

[tranquil pebble]

CEOs and shareholders gunned it down in cold blood

[rancid juniper]

no way, somehow RT isn't bad at all like yea ive seen it drop around the 40s but this is RT high at 1440p native + Ultra settings

RT really is light in this game

[mortal grail]

That's a good result

1440p ultra on a 2 year old card?

[tranquil pebble]

doubt its as light as Persona 3 Reload RT

[mortal grail]

That's a good result

I hope frame gen isn't forced on

[rancid juniper]

Nope

All native

[sage sluice]

Turned it off

[mortal grail]

Never should be on for reaction games

Wild to me it's even allowed

Or should I say monhun wilds

[sage sluice]

Settings i just swapped to

[mortal grail]

Ahah ahah ahah

[sage sluice]

Already looks better with these settings lmao

Way better

Fsr is not great with this game

[rancid juniper]

gonna try this now as the last run

[mortal grail]

Set render distance lower if you want huge fps jumps

[sage sluice]

Nah im a render snob lol

[mortal grail]

Same with fur

[sage sluice]

I just lowered distance quality

[mortal grail]

Alr

[sage sluice]

I chose settings i prefer based on what i saw

Not what would be best bang for buck on fps

And so far it looks MILES better than default

[mortal grail]

Sorry I'm such a value hunter smh

Or should I say

[sage sluice]

Lol its all right

You monster

[mortal grail]

Monster value hunter

Ahah ahah ahah

[rancid juniper]

There were cursed images with the last monster hunter wilds playtest

Polygonal monsters due to low vram

Man it made the game turn into horror

[mortal grail]

LMAO I forgot those memes

[sage sluice]

I will say the tests are a bit leniant

[rancid juniper]

Polyhunter: Wildin

[sage sluice]

Because theres a lot of parts where even on the test results i sent earlier it reaches like 50fps

Most of the highs are from cutscenes LMAO

Or empty desert

Theres a lot of empty desert

Im starting to agree with the distance and fur tbh

It might actually need it

[rancid juniper]

The game gets to somewhere dense, FPS:

[sage sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/infinity-war-avengers-spider-man-death-vanish-gif-12094481

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/adios-the-world-za-warudo-time-stop-he-went-adios-gif-18298929

Lol

[sage sluice]

If this game looked better i could excuse the performance

It doesnt

[rancid juniper]

GPUs hate the following
-Shadows
-Lights
-Foliage
-Reflections

[dusk knot]

Alright…my PC might die

[sage sluice]

Pitiful native performance considering what i disabled

[rancid juniper]

...

[sage sluice]

I even turned off my second monitor and background tasks

[rancid juniper]

Bruh...

[sage sluice]

[rancid juniper]

How

That did NOTHING

[sage sluice]

LMAO

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[sage sluice]

It looks a million times better without fsr at least

[dusk knot]

It’s stuttering, compooper

[sage sluice]

Isnt fuzzy asf

[hoary zodiac]

huh

I'm confused

Why is the amount due less

[rancid juniper]

Stututuututututu

[sage sluice]

Is that a hair on your screen?

[dusk knot]

Not all the time, but occasionally

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[rancid juniper]

Not good

[sage sluice]

Wipe it off

[rancid juniper]

Mines doesn't stutter

[tranquil pebble]

angry supra noises

[sage sluice]

Mine doesnt stutter either

[dusk knot]

Huh

[rancid juniper]

Turbo SPOOL

[dusk knot]

In the first part…..it’s smooth now

[rancid juniper]

i keep getting excellent

[hoary zodiac]

Oh

[rancid juniper]

so this is everything + FSR quality and Framegen ENABLED

[hoary zodiac]

Scholarship

That's why

[sage sluice]

Turned fur quality from high->low and render from highest->high

Re running

Theres like weird pop ins in the background lmao

In the cutscene

[hoary zodiac]

Does anyone know if college scholarships are stackable?

Like can I have more than one?

[sage sluice]

Should be

[hoary zodiac]

hmmmmmmmmmmm

[dusk knot]

Hmm…I need a better system

[hoary zodiac]

rn I got 25% off

Still painful

[pliant berry]

depends on the scholarship

[sage sluice]

Whatcha runnin

[rancid juniper]

Dang I should go scout for scholarships

[hoary zodiac]

I know I can't stack academic scholarships

[rancid juniper]

My lazy ah keeps forgetting

[hoary zodiac]

Because that'll invalidate my 25%

[sage sluice]

As messed up as it sounds, contact funeral homes

[hoary zodiac]

I also can't get a perm resident visa either

Because that'll void my scholarship

[sage sluice]

There are so many people who die with money that goes nowhere

[rancid juniper]

Wow what

[hoary zodiac]

Money is money tho

[sage sluice]

Theyll just give it to you

Im not joking

[pliant berry]

scholarships can be sick, I get paid to go to school

[rancid juniper]

That's legit wild

[sage sluice]

It really is

[rancid juniper]

But I'll keep that in mind ig

[hoary zodiac]

Scholarships are the lifeline of international students

[dusk knot]

Damnit

[hoary zodiac]

Like they milk us dry of cash

I wish I was paying domestic rates

[rancid juniper]

Going to school without financial aid is a death wish ngl

[hoary zodiac]

real

Especially in this economy

[sage sluice]

Theres a lot of stupid scholarships for like "being tall award" or just writing a silly essay

[hoary zodiac]

And I have to go for engineering too

[rancid juniper]

I don't even work and I'm hanging on FAFSA rn

[sage sluice]

Its hard not to find scholarships honestly

[pliant berry]

nah the second you are international student you are done for

[hoary zodiac]

Because getting an arts degree is practically career suicide

[sage sluice]

People use it like tax write offs

[sage sluice]

Fafsa is really good

[dusk knot]

with the setttings you provided..rip

[sage sluice]

Especially if you can grab stuff early

[rancid juniper]

When it works

[rancid juniper]

Heh me faster

[sage sluice]

On a 3080 ti, yikes

[rancid juniper]

But wow oof

Also, update your drivers

[sage sluice]

Not to mention stutters

[rancid juniper]

I know it sure ain't the latest

[dusk knot]

oh right💀

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

[sage sluice]

Lmao

[hoary zodiac]

I've decided to forego getting a job

Because keeping my scholarship is going to save me more money

Like 2 years worth of rent if I can keep my GPA up

[rancid juniper]

Honestly what's it like being employed?

[hoary zodiac]

No idea

[rancid juniper]

I feel odd not working when I'm over 20

[hoary zodiac]

Well it depends on the circumstances

If you go to east Asia it's completely normal

[sage sluice]

@mortal grail you arent gonna believe the performance gains i got for turning fur to low and render from highest to high LMFAOOO

[hoary zodiac]

They prioritise higher education

Over getting a job

[rancid juniper]

I... I see

[dusk knot]

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[sage sluice]

.08 performance gain btw

[hoary zodiac]

No stress of you being kicked out of the house either

Of course it does come with le "asian parents"

[sage sluice]

My parents are kicking me out when i graduate

Im kinda just waiting at this point

[rancid juniper]

My parents actually are chill, they just want me to get full education until once I'm ready to go

[hoary zodiac]

Based

That's the way to go

[rancid juniper]

Rip

[hoary zodiac]

Imo no point splitting your time between a low income job when you should be focusing on getting that education so you can get a high income job

[rancid juniper]

Obviously I get the occasional "how bout you get a job" but they never really forced me

Just suggestions ig

[hoary zodiac]

My parents are like

"no don't get a job we'll give you money"

[rancid juniper]

Whoa

[hoary zodiac]

We're a poor family too so

[sage sluice]

Running all highest with ray for s**** and giggles

[hoary zodiac]

But you see

[rancid juniper]

Gets 60+ average

Somehow

[hoary zodiac]

I can't waste money because I have no money to waste

[sage sluice]

Then all lowest

[pliant berry]

I don't know anyone getting high income jobs around here straight out of school

[rancid juniper]

Bro I use the money back into savings in case I get fricked

[hoary zodiac]

The aussie government steals half my interest

💀

[rancid juniper]

L

[hoary zodiac]

Student visa moment

[dusk knot]

going to run the benchmark again....

[rancid juniper]

I'm hearing bad stories of people having a doctorate degree and landing with no job in sight

...

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's why I'm going into engineering

Rather than CS

[rancid juniper]

That's why I'm going into IT

Tho I'm not sure if that's the best decision since Ai is on the rise

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

AI's impacts are pretty exaggerated

[dusk knot]

AI

[sage sluice]

Okay this might be insane, but all lowest at 1440p doesnt look too different than all highest 💀 💀

[rancid juniper]

Ai generated JOBS

[lone mango]

ai

ai

ai

ai

ai

[dusk knot]

yes

[lone mango]

ai

[hoary zodiac]

Look at my RTX jacket

[lone mango]

ai

[rancid juniper]

E

Crocodile jacket

[hoary zodiac]

Nvidia CES keynote speech summarised

[lone mango]

Look at my ai jacket

[hoary zodiac]

That is literally all he talked about

[rancid juniper]

Take a shot anytime someone mentions ai

[pliant berry]

the degrees don't hold as much weight anymore. you have to go to school with the intention of learning something in a field you are passionate about, not go to school to get a piece of paper and suddenly make bank

[rancid juniper]

🪦

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's why I'm going into more specialised fields

[rancid juniper]

This...

Absolutely this

[sage sluice]

People want 8 years of experience out of a bachelors

[hoary zodiac]

So I don't get grouped in with the CS people

[sage sluice]

But fresh out of college

[hoary zodiac]

Computer Engineers get paid way more than Computer Scientists

[rancid juniper]

If anything I'm thinking the education system is mid because of how grades work

[pliant berry]

many of the people that chase money like that are the ones that end up poor as well

[rancid juniper]

You see people always worry about grades without even appreciating the course

[sage sluice]

Holy crap lowest settings are making my eyes hurt rn

And its still dipping below 100

How

Is that even possible

[hoary zodiac]

There's like

[rancid juniper]

Garbage tier modern game

[hoary zodiac]

Different types of uni students

The business students

And the people actually passionate

[sage sluice]

Fallout 3 looks new compared to this

[rancid juniper]

Drop shipping ah lecture

[dusk knot]

lololl

[hoary zodiac]

Business students on their way to campus after getting wasted

[rancid juniper]

College students after their 2628452nd project essay:

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that why I like engineering more

There's more practical stuff

It's harder but it's less monotonous

[rancid juniper]

Hands on is the way

[sage sluice]

"Mom i want pc optimization!"
"No, we've got pc optimization at home"
PC optimization at home:

Mind you the picture quality is miserable

Fuzzy as all hell, beans up close were literally polygons

Yep deleting this bs off my system asap

I value my storage

[rancid juniper]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[sage sluice]

Thanks pc gamer

Glad youve got our back on being laughable

Just wanna emphasize 90 cad btw

Most sane individual

[velvet summit]

to be fair, triple a titles price their games that high so they can put sales that make it look like a great deal when it isnt
it also makes them more money when people are impatient enough

[rancid juniper]

@sage sluice

[sage sluice]

[lone mango]

Open optimization test 2

[dusk knot]

Seems the driver update fixed the stutters lol

[rancid juniper]

im gonna play it

LOL

[lone mango]

We need an optimization beta test

[rancid juniper]

(Not buy it tho)

[sage sluice]

Beautiful

[rancid juniper]

good

[lone mango]

Gonna follow that fella

[sage sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/chirstmas-gif-24269239

My pc is soo stable..sheesh

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-22246136

[rancid juniper]

very 👍

[dusk knot]

I’m getting more fps now lmao

[sage sluice]

Im just insulted by this games existance that this point

[dusk knot]

The games doesn’t even look that good and I’m getting weak frames

Gaming is done

[sage sluice]

All lowest settings at 110fps average, constantly dipping below

No background processes

[sage sluice]

Oh its not at all

Indie games and older games with carry

[dusk knot]

Idk how to find good indie games

[sage sluice]

Whatcha like?

[lone mango]

How is it so hard to just ignore new games

[sage sluice]

I can recommend a lot

[lone mango]

Just ignore them

[sage sluice]

Fomo

People are too gullible for it

[dusk knot]

Sci-fi and fantasy

[rancid juniper]

you see thats where FOMO doesn't apply to me since im BROKE AF

✅

Also after checking game performance/reviews

[dusk knot]

What is he doing…..👀

[sage sluice]

Outer wilds, dead cells, deep rock galactic, a short hike, citizen sleeper (very specific audience tbh, more roleplay like), risk of rain, maybe subnautica if you havent played it, stray

[dusk knot]

@sage sluice @rancid juniper

[sage sluice]

Indie games are in such a healthy place honestly

You just kinda gotta dig for them a bit more

[rancid juniper]

settings?

not too bad

[dusk knot]

the same that you gave me

[sage sluice]

Outlast is a great game for horror

[rancid juniper]

NO WAY THE DRIVERS HELPED

this is why you should update Jaypeepee

[sage sluice]

Dont starve and factorio are two favourites of mine

What remains of edith finch

[rancid juniper]

heard of those two, never played

[dusk knot]

it sure did lol

[sage sluice]

100% would recommend, factorio moreso single player

I also have too many hours on terraria

[rancid juniper]

i can... hear that theme

[sage sluice]

Night in the woods i literally have a tattoo of, so id recommend that game lmao

[sage sluice]

https://youtu.be/8FCAHU93NAk

[dusk knot]

i will now delete the benchmark.....

[sage sluice]

Good

[rancid juniper]

hollow knight and risk of rain

[sage sluice]

Oh absolutely

Both stellar games

Risk of rain ive only seen others play tho

[rancid juniper]

i see

[rancid juniper]

good

[lone mango]

Ror2 go so hard bruh

[rancid juniper]

alr all three of us will play open beta tomorrow whether you like it or not

[lone mango]

Deep rock galactic and warframe are also games that look great, run very well and respect their players

[sage sluice]

Also im piling in dark souls for older games, specifically ds1 and ds3, and if you can bloodborne or sekiro

[sage sluice]

Ive played both

[lone mango]

no mans sky is also pretty good

[sage sluice]

Warframe gets a bit tedious for me after a while

Deep rock is better with buds imo

[lone mango]

nms new update came just came out

[sage sluice]

Ive played it, only singleplayer but after it improved from launch. Its meh singleplayer, cant say multiplayer

[lone mango]

its kinda like red dead where you gotta go around and do stuff

[sage sluice]

Imma recommend inscryption and dead cells too

[sage sluice]

I loved red deads campaign so much honestly

Some of the best npcs in gaming

[sage sluice]

They feel very real compared to a lot of games

Great writing

[lone mango]

like if you play nms like warframe or destiny or something and you focus too much on the objective you wont have much fun

in nms you just gotta get out there and go around

[sage sluice]

Ironically ive never played destiny

[sage sluice]

Thats what i did

[lone mango]

Good

[rancid juniper]

Kingdom Come Deliverance II is out and it's very well recieved

[lone mango]

Destiny is an abusive game

[sage sluice]

Its just all procedual generation and random language learning and stuff

[rancid juniper]

bungie

[sage sluice]

As ive heard

[lone mango]

I spent over 2600 hours only for it to end the way it ended

[sage sluice]

Im interested

[rancid juniper]

same

[sage sluice]

Ive played half swords demo too, its unironically a blast were the performance better

[sour falcon]

15 reviews on the destiny 2 heresy bundle and theyre all about pete parsons car collection lmfao

[sage sluice]

It tanks as blood and gore come into effect

[lone mango]

Guys just wait for the next expansion itll be good trust me just give another yearly purchase

[sage sluice]

I wait for reviews on EVERYTHING

I never buy on launch

[rancid juniper]

this is THE WAY

[sage sluice]

I wait for all the impatient people to do stuff lol

[lone mango]

Time to buy the next expansion! You stood through the drought, buy the next one!
Yes honey

[dusk knot]

Oh my god……the driver update fixed marvels rivals….😭

[sage sluice]

Jp whens the last time

[rancid juniper]

bro was having a terrible time on outdated software

[sage sluice]

You updated drivers

[rancid juniper]

you cant make this up

☠️

[dusk knot]

I’m getting 300 plus fps now

On low

Before it was around 210

[sage sluice]

Hey thats 3 times i got on monster hunter on lowEST

Mind you it looked like GARBAGE

stuff was loading in right in my face

You couldnt even see enemies from a reasonable distance

[rancid juniper]

pop-in: The videogame

[sage sluice]

I cant wait to not sail the seven seas because that software aint even worth breathing on my poor ssds heart

[lone mango]

I saw final shape go on sale for like 3 or 4 times in the past few months

They really want the people they milked to get back into it

Resist temptation

[sage sluice]

I honestly like monster hunters style of formula, they just somehow make it awful

[dusk knot]

Nvm…still need a gpu upgrade

[sage sluice]

Buy any game thats a million times better

[sage sluice]

The fact youre saying that with a 3080

I hate the gpu industry

I hate it sincerely

Check back at all those games i recommended

Also modern titles id recommend now would be baldurs gate and elden ring

[lone mango]

I bought 4 deep rock packs for like $13

Idk the last time I bought something on steam

I barely buy anything

These new games save me so much money its insane

[sage sluice]

Investment i would consider myself honestly

Just to support the devs

[lone mango]

I mean I wouldn’t buy anyway but the difference is that im not even tempted to buy because of the state games are in

[sage sluice]

Considering they do the bare minimum of not locking content behind paywalls

[lone mango]

Fomo doesn’t exist in drg

You can go back to previous seasons

[sage sluice]

Yup

Its great

[dusk knot]

3080ti….

[sage sluice]

[dusk knot]

Can’t even hit 240fps on low

😔

[lone mango]

Except for like seasonal events but they last like two weeks and don’t have that much to do, so not really ig

[mortal grail]

Wtf

[lone mango]

3080 to a 3080ti, amazing

[mortal grail]

Did they remove like 1 metre and 3 furs

Wtf is that fps change

[sage sluice]

You havent seen it all, this is lowest settings, it actually hurts my eyes to look at for too long

Like LOWEST POSSIBLE

besides 1440p

[lone mango]

Incredible

[mortal grail]

This is ue5 innit

[rancid juniper]

gaming

no

[mortal grail]

It's not?

[rancid juniper]

its capcom's RE engine

[mortal grail]

I thought mh was ue5 now

[rancid juniper]

i think

[lone mango]

Nah its a glorious capcom product

[rancid juniper]

its definitely In-house

[mortal grail]

Maybe they need to REdo things

[rancid juniper]

Engine from Dragon's dogma II btw

it all makes sense

[mortal grail]

THE NUMBERS

[lone mango]

Capcom loves making games run like crap

[rancid juniper]

they mean something

[rancid juniper]

it wasn't like that for Resident evil or street fighter

[sage sluice]

Mind you on best settings it legit looks worse than monster hunter rise and rise ran on an xbox 1 s

Its looks worse than rise on an xbox one s

Yet performs the same

[rancid juniper]

You can max out all settings in MH:world and get over 100fps easily at 1440p

[lone mango]

Everyone stop upgrading so devs will optimize

Thanks

[mortal grail]

LOL

[velvet summit]

They don't even look at the steam hardware survey

[mortal grail]

How is it not ue5

[rancid juniper]

Sadly that won't happen, look at the demand for the 50 series

[velvet summit]

I ssear

[mortal grail]

That's ue5 stuff

[velvet summit]

Swear

[sage sluice]

Everyone keep upgrading so i can save money on older stuff

[mortal grail]

Ue5 makes things look 10 years old

[sage sluice]

And not buy new games

[rancid juniper]

UE5 is not the only engine that runs like hot doodoo

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

Maybe

[mortal grail]

Doodol

[sage sluice]

Why dont people use ue4 more

Seriously

[mortal grail]

Games that run well do

[sage sluice]

Yup

[mortal grail]

Ue4 is great

[sage sluice]

I wonder why they run well

[mortal grail]

Ohp phone about to die byeee

[rancid juniper]

Cya

[sage sluice]

Tbf battlefield 2042 runs surprisingly well on ue5

Its pretty optimized

[velvet summit]

https://m.scp-343.com/vids/Leon.mp4

[rancid juniper]

Battlefield? UE5???

Lol no

[lone mango]

When I get 120-180 fps in deep rock with high settings on a 6600

[rancid juniper]

That's frostbite

EA Dice's inhouse engine

[sage sluice]

WAIT IT IS

Ive been lied to

Lmao

[rancid juniper]

Yea

Lol

[lone mango]

When I hit my 200 fps cap in warframe while solo

[rancid juniper]

I wonder if devs should use cryengine more

Same engine used for crysis and hunt showdown

[sage sluice]

I wanna benchmark fallout 4

And do a side by side with monster hunter wilds

[rancid juniper]

Oh better yet, kingdom come deliverance II is built on cryengine, look how good it looks

[sage sluice]

Or shoot new vegas lmao

Get some nice looking mods for new vegas

And do a side by side

[rancid juniper]

Dunking on Capcom here

XD

[sage sluice]

Lol

Deserved

Capcom, game freak, all greedy mfs

Ea

These companies are all notoriously greedy

Blizzard

Ubisoft

It's funny how the bigger game companies get the cheaper their games get

just now I realized I could run 99,9% of all games on steam

also is it normal that the light on my motherboard stays on all the time?

[velvet summit]

Depends on the light

[mortal grail]

Could be the gaming light

The one that stays on all the time when gaming ||(this isn't real)||

[velvet summit]

Also to be fair, even a 10 year old system with a GPU can probably run like 90% of the games on steam

[mortal grail]

Can

Oh

Well

Actually 8 year old

But 10 year old gpu might be pushing it

[velvet summit]

Maybe

I know that a rx570 was able to play cyberpunk at launch

Because that's what I did

Until I had a minor rage quit from a bug

It was actually a minor rage quit
I died from a bug and decided to quit but never launched it again

Mostly because I also didn't pay for it

[fair onyx]

@hoary zodiacI want us to get our bags

[fresh timber]

My billing period is almost over

[hoary zodiac]

Imagine not having spiders

[sweet phoenix]

Got paid to sit in a box at a gas station for five hours on my phone lmao

[hoary zodiac]

Unironically it'd be so much worse if we just removed every single spider from the country

[fresh timber]

My mom won’t let me work in gas stations 😦

[sweet phoenix]

It was through stop and shop

[hoary zodiac]

It'd just get instantly overrun by bugs

At the moment I'm not working but I'll either be doing computer repair starting this month or I'm going for whatever will pay me the most

[fresh timber]

Slide me that job, iv applied to like 50 and nobody wants me

[sweet phoenix]

Dad's friend has been wanting to hire me but I've been waiting for him to, and here I am

Costco starts at 20.50 for Cashiers and I have cashier, front end supervisor, and customer service experience so that would be solid

[fresh timber]

wtf

[sweet phoenix]

Still a $5 raise from stop and shop lmao

[fresh timber]

Walmart only pays like $17 outbhere

My minimal wage is $15

[craggy shoal]

Never reset since I got my phone. iPhone 12, got it on its release year for Christmas

[sweet phoenix]

Costco as a company made their min wage $20

[hoary zodiac]

Wtf

$20 minimum?

[sweet phoenix]

Costco is one of the only companies that actually likes their employees

[hoary zodiac]

how

[fresh timber]

I know where I’m applying to next

[sweet phoenix]

And wait, get this

[hoary zodiac]

Do you get benefits too?

[sweet phoenix]

They still make a crap ton of money

[fresh timber]

Easy, ceo; yeah pay everyone $20 or more

[craggy shoal]

Bruh I work two jobs and I can't afford to move out

[sweet phoenix]

While having low prices

[hoary zodiac]

Lol

[sweet phoenix]

Fantastic benefits

[hoary zodiac]

work shift at costco

shop for groceries after shift is over

go home

[sweet phoenix]

Costco is a great company

[hoary zodiac]

I wonder how long it'll stay that way

[sweet phoenix]

They're also reinforcing their DEI policies, and equality policies in general

[hoary zodiac]

Consumer loving AND employee loving?

That's a rare sight these days

[fresh timber]

F you

I love not needing benefits, I use my moms

[sweet phoenix]

If Their ceo doesn't change, it won't change

Alr i gotta go

Class

[fresh timber]

Omg that means if I get a job I’ll make even more cause I don’t need the benefits

No paying for insurance

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah I've never used my benefits

[fresh timber]

Peak

Insurance is expensive

They take it out your check

[sweet phoenix]

However most places offer 401ks or similar retirement plans that you should take advantage off, as part of the benefits

There's other similar things too

Like Verizon matches my mom's 401k contributions up to like $10000 a year

[fresh timber]

Retirement in the current political state of the world??

Haha funny

[sweet phoenix]

I know I know

But if the world doesn't end yknow

[fresh timber]

Yuh

Go to class

We talk later

Hyperbole

Seems interesting at least

[craggy shoal]

Bruh working in IT is dangerous. I’m at the doctor's office (it's for my ADHD. Nothing crazy) and they’re having us fill out three extra forms. Bruh I don't use paper anymore and they expect me to have everything filled out in like 5 minutes bruh it took me 15 minutes to fill everything out 😭

Also given how tired I am

[sage sluice]

I just got a new dosage of vyvanse yesterday

[dusk knot]

Motor with ADHD? I always imagined you as a calm and chill guy

[sage sluice]

Lmao also 5 minutes is intense for that much paperwork

Idc how long it takes me, im reading everything

[sage sluice]

I have adhd

Doesnt mean crap about calm and chill lol

[craggy shoal]

I mean I wasn't timed or anything. But it's definitely like 5 minutes (at most) worth of documentation to fill out

[sage sluice]

Actually inattentive type adhd is a thing

[dusk knot]

Inconceivable. My pre disposed notions were incorrect about the motor 😔

[craggy shoal]

This guy thought I was calm and chill that’s crazy

[dusk knot]

It must be the Pfp lmao

[craggy shoal]

Probably

[dusk knot]

You've had it for years

[craggy shoal]

I should widen the eyes

Everybody gonna be like "tf who is this motor off brand"

I need coffee bruh wtf

[dusk knot]

L

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

[sage sluice]

coffee on my vyvanse is like cocaine honestly

the two make my heartrate go mach 10

[dusk knot]

Imagine needing coffee

[sage sluice]

i dont need it, i just enjoy it

the taste is what im after

so im good going decaff

[dusk knot]

I just wake up

[craggy shoal]

Adderall + coffee is heaven for me

[sage sluice]

⭐

[sage sluice]

i could never do adderall

its too much of a drug for me lmao

[craggy shoal]

I wanna switch to Vyvanse but idk how well it would work for me

I’ve been on Adderall for years and it's worked well for me

The only problem with Adderall for me is that I can't nap

So I can wake up sleepy but it's enough of a stimulant for me that my brain can't shut down lol. The only time I was able to bypass this (while on Adderall) was when I had COVID

[sweet phoenix]

Don't worry, tiktok is selling it now

[fresh timber]

i stopped taking meds for my adhd

[sweet phoenix]

For SOME REASON

[fresh timber]

wanna know whats funny. thats cheaper than my perscription back then

[sweet phoenix]

It's probably fake

[fresh timber]

my parents spent $100 a month

we stopped taking it after i lost like 50 pounds

[sweet phoenix]

Thats very likely after insurance

I take Vyvanse, a diff adhd med

[fresh timber]

insurance isnt that good

kek

[sweet phoenix]

The generic version is like $4 for me after insurance, $200 or so before I think

[fresh timber]

wtfff

i need adhd meds that dont make me not hungry

[sweet phoenix]

Verizon has very good benefits

[fresh timber]

adderall sucked

[sweet phoenix]

All of them do sadly

Well, it depends on the person

[fresh timber]

i wanna be a sales guy in tmobile but they require hs deploma. 😦

[sweet phoenix]

But its a side effect of all adhd meds

[fresh timber]

yeah

i got the hunger one

and it didnt really make me focus all to well

[sweet phoenix]

I get no appetite and sleep deprivation

Also being too productive sometimes

But it helps way too much for me to not take it, I just take it as needed instead of daily

Vyvanse is the only adhd med that's fine to be taken as needed

(Afaik, im not a doctor)

Alr my other class is starting, peace

[fresh timber]

im no doctor either but my meds wore off after a few hours but the hunger lasted all day

[icy ore]

I just can’t focus on anything but I think being an adult trying to get diagnosed with something would be hard

[frigid stag]

Is that real

[sage sluice]

i think it has a better success rate with most people, its got very few side effects in comparison. its also pretty effective, one big thing its helped for me is holding conversations and not going rapid fire on 30 different topics

that was an ability i yearned for lmao

i think before i act now

instead of the usual

[sage sluice]

if it is i'll lose my mind lmao

thats just straight up illegal

[frigid stag]

Lol I do that too if it’s about something I’m interested in and I don’t have adhd (I don’t think)

[sage sluice]

doing things that adhd consists of doesnt equal adhd, however doing a LOT of things adhd consists of is a pointer

[frigid stag]

Hmm

Don’t think I have it, and if I did it would probably just be add, I don’t have the hyperactive part

[sage sluice]

its kinda like "wheres the line where the d of the adh comes into play"

[sage sluice]

i dont have the hyperactive part, add isnt a thing anymore

[frigid stag]

I feel like people think someone has adhd when they’re a kid and they’re disruptive or something

[sage sluice]

it falls under adhd now as inattentive type adhd

[frigid stag]

I know people who weren’t like that, they just wouldn’t pay attention in class and do their own thing sometimes

[frigid stag]

Wdym it’s not a thing

[sage sluice]

its funny being disruptive doesnt really equal adhd

[frigid stag]

Was me in elementary school at some point too

[sage sluice]

as in its not an official diagnosis anymore

[frigid stag]

O

[frigid stag]

Ye lol

They think if you’re quiet but still not paying attention that u don’t have adhd

Cause it’s not hyperactive

[sage sluice]

spacing out, having multiple conversations in your brain and "wow squirrel" is more of adhd

but theres also emotional imbalances linked to autism too

such as hyperactive emotions

[frigid stag]

That lowk sounds like sugar rush 😭

[sage sluice]

they create anger shame cycles

[sage sluice]

lol

[sage sluice]

well the difference is you have to take the funny pill to stop the voices

my brain doesnt stfu without vyvanse

[frigid stag]

I don’t think it’s the same tbh

[sage sluice]

i never said its the same, but adhd and autism very frequently go hand in hand

[frigid stag]

Ah

[sage sluice]

i was told this when my doctor diagnosed me with both LMAO

you might have a misunderstanding of what autism is too

[dusk knot]

The 5090 will fix that

[frigid stag]

I mean everyone has an internal monologue lol

[sage sluice]

yes, but NEVER being able to turn off that switch, no matter the time of day

its constant

[frigid stag]

Ig it’s just sped up if u have adhd then

[sage sluice]

i didnt know it was so persistant until i started taking vyvanse

now i can actually just chill and think consentually

its not apparated into my skull like a needy dog

[frigid stag]

Isn’t that just what thinking is, or is it just random thoughts

[sage sluice]

no i mean with adhd there is no downtime

your brain is always having some random discussion, related to the topic or not

typically if youre disinterested its unrelated entirely

and youre forced to listen

adhd is like ratouille lmao

[unreal trail]

[frigid stag]

Ye I mean I can barely pay attention if it’s something I’m not interested in

Can force myself to if it’s needed tho

[sage sluice]

maybe you should take a quick quiz for common adhd symptoms. its not a diagnosis remotely, but it can tell if you getting one would be of any affect at all

[sage sluice]

yeah thats stupidly difficult with adhd

[frigid stag]

Idk I feel like I might have 1 or 2 max

[sage sluice]

you cant really choose what you focus on

[frigid stag]

Id just be thinking how long I have to listen to whatever, if it’s not interesting

[sage sluice]

id do it just because why not, theres a lot of symptoms people dont realize are because of adhd

[frigid stag]

I kinda know what it is, but some of the things I hear about it, I can’t relate at all

[sage sluice]

id be thinking of the last thing i read or why is that particular corner of the whiteboard slightly pink and if the pencil on my desk has factory workers residue on it or

[frigid stag]

Low-key kinda relateable

[sage sluice]

and then id snap back and be like "whats happening? oh im supposed to be learning"

you can lose focus without adhd, but with adhd its extremely frequent and as easy to control as wild hogs

[frigid stag]

Sometimes I can barely make it to an end of a video but i think that just might be my attention span being fried

[sage sluice]

lmao maybe

that might just be not being interested in the video much

just watching because youve got nothing better to do

[frigid stag]

Sometimes things just take too long, I speed through them

[sage sluice]

oh yeah no i get that

videos drag on watchtime without adding anything worth watching

if i wanted to zone out id watch a live stream

[frigid stag]

Ye or listening to someone explain something in a long winded way, Sometimes it’s a peeve

[sage sluice]

for sure

its like "cut to the chase"

[frigid stag]

Ye

[sage sluice]

sometimes its just nerding out a bit tbh

or they genuinely just want watchtime

i hella rant if im interested in a topic

give details that are jargon

[frigid stag]

Ye same lol

[sage sluice]

if people asked me to explain smash ultimate competitive for example theyd find themselves immediately regretting the rabbithole

or terraria

[frigid stag]

yea sometimes I have to pace myself to not give people a lecture on stuff lol

[sage sluice]

It's great if they're in the know how or are genuinely interested

Emphasis on "if"

[frigid stag]

I try keep that in mind to not go on to long

[craggy shoal]

Almost fell for it wtf 💀

[craggy shoal]

For me it would be the availability. Adderall is becoming more available again (post-shortage from like 2021-2023) but I still don't want another constant back order to happen

If that happens again imma ask my doctor about Vyvanse

[sage sluice]

Fair, the way insurance covers vyvanse is interesting

It used to not be covered at all

[craggy shoal]

I can probably go to Vietnam this summer and get a year-long supply of Adderall lolll. Idk if they'd let me bring that back into the US but from what my (Vietnamese) gf said, they sell Adderall on the shelves lolll

ADHD heaven for me lol (non-abusively)

[sage sluice]

Oop

[craggy shoal]

I think it's kinda new iirc

[sage sluice]

Yeah im sure that adderall is being sold for adhd totally

[sage sluice]

It is

Newer

[craggy shoal]

Been around for a couple years* not around as long as Adderall*

[sage sluice]

About 2008

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

[sage sluice]

Vyvanse is a good bit more effective with less side effects, if you can switch i would def recommend

[craggy shoal]

Considering I think most of Asia doesn't really believe in mental illnesses (iirc), it's probably used for other things lol

[sage sluice]

I hate that this is true

Youd think science would be universal

[craggy shoal]

lol nah

[frigid stag]

They do, they just don’t think their kid could have adhd or whatever

[fresh timber]

I want drugs

[fresh timber]

Doctor: your kid has severe autism
Parents: no

[sage sluice]

parents are doctors ong

put them garlic slices in your socks and elderberries in your eyelids

cancer? nah youre overeacting, just drink some apple cider vinegar

[craggy shoal]

Yeah kinda figured

[fresh timber]

My step dad doesn’t believe in my autism, it’s fun

[sage sluice]

my mom told me "you do not have adhd or autism" when i was like 14 when i was trying to figure myself out. Woah, not only was i officially diagnosed with both, but i talked about my mom and they said "yeah she likely has it too"

[sage sluice]

its because they think youre imperfect if you have it

its a really selfish way of thinking

that or they have the same stuff and think its normal

[fresh timber]

He believes in diffrent but not disabled

[sage sluice]

"disabled"

disabled my ass

autism does not equal disabled

its technically a disability, but it sure as hell aint down syndrome

more people mix the two than they should

[fresh timber]

Techncily I’m disabled

[sage sluice]

by word of mouth

but in reality youre just a different flavour of person

[fresh timber]

Nah, disabled

[craggy shoal]

My dad thought the same lol. He'd be like "you know all that stuff is made up, right?" Then I had to be held back in the fifth grade because I wasn't medicated that whole year and couldn't focus 💀

[fresh timber]

I have to say I’m disabled or the government won’t pay for my college

[sage sluice]

oop

what i mean is it doesnt make you any less of a person

[fresh timber]

The government is always watching

[sage sluice]

its for sure an impairment, but it isnt going to kill you or make you incapable of improvement

[fresh timber]

Free college

Free MacBook

[sage sluice]

think of it like prescriptions

[fresh timber]

Free books

I’m not kidding

[sage sluice]

wait my brain just clicked

thats a thing?

[fresh timber]

I’m going to get the state to help pay for my max

[fresh timber]

Yes

They will pay for my college

[sage sluice]

holy

i need to look into this wtf

[fresh timber]

They don’t care about parents income

Downside, I have to wadte my time applying for the fasfa even tho I’ll get denied

[sage sluice]

you have to?

i mean i was fixing to apply for the fafsa myself

since i graduate here in a few months

[fresh timber]

Yes it’s a requirement

[sage sluice]

howd you go about it and what programs did you have to sign up for because of it?

[fresh timber]

It’s a state thing

[sage sluice]

looks like im moving ong

nah ill look into it

im curious how far disability goes in terms of college support

like idk if id need to do vocational schooling

[icy ore]

Good question

Well now that we’re in the position we are they probably won’t pay for any of it lol

[sage sluice]

lmao

i hate college man

its so overpriced

[fresh timber]

They will give me free tutoring

[sage sluice]

i mean everything is but

[icy ore]

America

[sage sluice]

student loans are insane

[fresh timber]

They will help me with my essays

[sage sluice]

holy i want that

[icy ore]

We have royally screwed ourselves as a country

[fresh timber]

I feel bad for those with loans

[fresh timber]

I get free umm. Did say they will pay for equipment such as a computer

[sage sluice]

i could use tutoring purely for my inability to study, i have a 26 act and a 0.8gpa LMAO

[fresh timber]

Now they prob won’t pay for a MacBook but I bet I can get them to help pay some of it

[icy ore]

I went two semesters and dropped out due to major surgery and like 6 years later I’m still paying back loans

i havent even touched chatgpt stuff tbh

let alone deepseek

[fresh timber]

I used ai heavily for my resume

[sage sluice]

ive not used ai for much of anything now

[icy ore]

Companies rely on nepotism too much nowadays

[fresh timber]

I use chat gpt for my current school work

[fresh timber]

I rely off being black and the company wanting to be “diverse”

[icy ore]

Well with dei being shut down

[sage sluice]

i dont trust chatgpt to do better than me with a google search tbh

[craggy shoal]

Bruh this fr. It's a double edged sword for me rn. I can't find a job anywhere rn. But I have a friend friend who works for an MSP (director at his office) who says he can easily get me a job if one of the two older people retire soon

Kinda messed up but I’m trying to survive too ya know?

[icy ore]

Yep

It is what it is

[sage sluice]

nepotism favours the generations who're fortunate

[icy ore]

It doesn’t matter the qualifications you have around here as long as you know someone you’re gonna get the job over someone with degrees or experience

[sage sluice]

i hate that so much tbh
