[fresh timber]

[wise wigeon]

ok well idk if you need a 1600 dollar pc for fortnite but your money

[dusk knot]

5090 build for sure

[twilit ibex]

I want something like this

ABS Eurus Aqua Gaming PC - Intel i9 14900KF - GeForce RTX 4070 - DLSS 3.5 - AI-Powered Performance - 32GB DDR5 6000MHz - 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD - EA14900KF4070

[twilit ibex]

it’s 1850$

[wise wigeon]

hmmm ok

[twilit ibex]

but went out of stock

[wise wigeon]

you want a water cooler or air?

water cooler is mostly just aesthetic since in most cases a competent air cooler cools just as well

and do you need wifi?

[opaque sedge]

Man i had a calc test today and the prof didn’t want us to use graphing calculators i was like what else kinda calculator is a college student supposed to have

[wise wigeon]

or use bluetooth devices

[twilit ibex]

yes I need Wi-Fi

[twilit ibex]

which one is cheaper

[wise wigeon]

I just had a base calc for calc

[wise wigeon]

air

[twilit ibex]

ill js do air

[opaque sedge]

2 questions involved decimals i kinda brute forced one and kept the values fractional for one to answer the limit question

[sweet phoenix]

A 14900k will not help you for gaming especially with a 4070

[opaque sedge]

Hopefully the prof doesn’t remove points for the lack of work in the latter question

[sweet phoenix]

You gain nothing when compared with a 13600k or 14600k

[twilit ibex]

so can u make me like a links of what to get

[fresh timber]

AIO quieter than stock cooler

[sweet phoenix]

Just whatever’s better

[woven turret]

I think something is wrong, discord on the pc doesn't work, steam doesn't open, task manager reacts funny and windows doesn't react to restart/turn off

[wise wigeon]

1.85k in wegg credit is nuts

[fresh timber]

9800x3d 4070 pc frfr

[wise wigeon]

def not

[sweet phoenix]

So the issue with building yourself rn is gpus

Gpu pricing is wack atm

[wise wigeon]

yep

[sweet phoenix]

Nvidia gpus even moreso

[woven turret]

get an AMD gpu

[twilit ibex]

It’s high rn?

[sweet phoenix]

The options are pre builts, used gpu, or waiting if you want an nvidia gpu

[wise wigeon]

9070 xt and 5070 ti are being launched in the next 2 weeks

[unreal trail]

also get corsair vengeance ram

[twilit ibex]

this prebuild is good right

ABS Eurus Aqua Gaming PC - Intel i9 14900KF - GeForce RTX 4070 - DLSS 3.5 - AI-Powered Performance - 32GB DDR5 6000MHz - 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD - EA14900KF4070

[sweet phoenix]

No

[wise wigeon]

pricing on current amd cards isnt the best but it works

[twilit ibex]

[sweet phoenix]

Not in any way shape or form

[twilit ibex]

The cheapest new 4070 is over $800

[sinful blade]

[twilit ibex]

[sweet phoenix]

It should be slightly over $500

[rancid juniper]

WUKONG 60fps 1440p

UE5 slowdowns

😔

[sweet phoenix]

Not as good as you could do by building yourself with an amd gpu or a used gpu, but its good as far as pre builts go

[unreal trail]

fps

[wise wigeon]

if it was any prebuilt just skulking around costcos would work

but alas it is wegg credit

[rancid juniper]

a whole bunch, depends on the game i recommend looking at some videos of the same config

i cant believe im saying this but maybe you should backorder that $1700 pc

[wise wigeon]

huh

yeah thats it not a bad backorder

[fresh timber]

Buy pc with out gpu and buy gpu ez

[wise wigeon]

thats just a week

[sinful blade]

@twilit ibex

[rancid juniper]

EZ??? in this current market?

[wise wigeon]

[sinful blade]

Just get a 5700xt

[wise wigeon]

you can still get a 7900xt

[fresh timber]

Plenty of gpus

[wise wigeon]

[twilit ibex]

hro

[rancid juniper]

[wise wigeon]

both have the super

[twilit ibex]

what’s the difference

[wise wigeon]

wel the ti super

[twilit ibex]

one is $50 more

[fresh timber]

Super

[wise wigeon]

honestly

looks like its just the case

[sweet phoenix]

Ti super has 4gb more vram and 10% better

It's worth the extra

[twilit ibex]

ok bet

wait

[wise wigeon]

oh between the super and ti super

[twilit ibex]

can i redeem multiple giftcards

on tcheckout

[sweet phoenix]

If they're both ti super it's the same difference

[wise wigeon]

idk man

[sweet phoenix]

Yes

You can I tested it before with two $100

[twilit ibex]

i got 3 500s

and 1 300s

and 1 50$

[wise wigeon]

where did you get all these giftcards

[twilit ibex]

it took 3days to come

[twilit ibex]

I bought them

in Newegg

[rancid juniper]

thats more than enough to buy that prebuilt before tax

[twilit ibex]

using visa giftcards

[twilit ibex]

it’s enough to buy the back door one

not the other one

it’s tax

[rancid juniper]

really?

oh

[wise wigeon]

using visa giftcards would have given you more options

[twilit ibex]

yes

do u got promo codes

[twilit ibex]

no

u can’t use multiple visa giftcards

at once

i think

[wise wigeon]

jesus how many visa giftcards did you have?

[twilit ibex]

like 5-6

i paid in crypto

so like 1.9k

[rancid juniper]

@twilit ibex maybe try this?

[twilit ibex]

YO BET

OMG

I GOT EJOUGH

OMG

I LOVE U

so do i just redeem the giftcards now?

[rancid juniper]

yea

try

[fresh timber]

I’d be super happy if I had a ti super

[wise wigeon]

only 52 used today huh? no presidents day splurges i guess

[twilit ibex]

bro

im missing $40

$45

[fresh timber]

Show

[wise wigeon]

you dont have $40?

[rancid juniper]

for the $1750 pc?

[twilit ibex]

the promo code

didn’t work

he said it didn’t work

it got removed

[rancid juniper]

?????

[wise wigeon]

unlucky

[twilit ibex]

ye

[wise wigeon]

you dont have honey on do you?

[twilit ibex]

i got 1.85k in giftcards credit plied

no i got 10k$ in roblox items

[rancid juniper]

is it because of the giftcards?

[wise wigeon]

might be

[twilit ibex]

idk

[wise wigeon]

idkj how wegg does their stuff though

[twilit ibex]

the promo didn’t work

[rancid juniper]

was it greyed out?

[wicked oriole]

Go from 4080s to 5080 or just wait for a 90 card or a 80 ti/super?

[wise wigeon]

are you ordering the backordered one?

[rancid juniper]

wait

that is like the worst upgrade you can ever do

[twilit ibex]

no

[wise wigeon]

paying 1200+ for a 10% uplift is crazy

[twilit ibex]

im ordering the suelper one

[wise wigeon]

both are supers

[wicked oriole]

I know 😭 I really wanna try mfg and the OC, plus tensor cores upgrade but idk, not worth is still true2

[rancid juniper]

5080 is legit just a 4080ti

[twilit ibex]

do u guys got promo codes 50$+

how do i send pictures

[wicked oriole]

The only reason idk if they'll do a ti/super with more vram is cause nvidia is working on compressing vram a lot

[wise wigeon]

like yeah the oc pushes it close to 4090 but like bruv

[twilit ibex]

ima js sell something and get $50 rq

[rancid juniper]

lol goodluck

[rancid juniper]

gotta stay here a bit longer to achieve "regular" status

[wise wigeon]

chaotic energy in general today

[twilit ibex]

wait

if i leave the app

will my giftcards still be there

[wise wigeon]

dunno

[twilit ibex]

in checkout

[rancid juniper]

because they suck at giving more vram (except 90 class)

literal bozo company

[wise wigeon]

probably not

if it was in secure checkout

[twilit ibex]

It’s in checkout

[wicked oriole]

I would've been outside microcenter on release day hyped to get one if they would've bumped it up to 20/24

[wise wigeon]

both companies

[rancid juniper]

for sure

[wise wigeon]

even if the 70 xt is xtx tier

its dropped 8 gb of ram

[rancid juniper]

9070xt that has 16gb vram for around 700 allegedly is not a good look idc

[wise wigeon]

yeah no 5070 ti gonna eat that up even at high aib prices

[rancid juniper]

joke generation

[wise wigeon]

new benches put the ti just about 14-15% slower that the 80 in most tests

which pretty much lines it up with the 4080/S

but there are like only 5 msrp cards

though if thats legit performance than its still competitive with the xtx if you want the nvidia features

[twilit ibex]

my boy sent me $50

let’s go

[rancid juniper]

so GG's?

[rancid juniper]

yep

[wise wigeon]

seldom will you run into issues with 16 gb of ram but the possibility exists

[sweet phoenix]

Nice

Enjoy the pc

[wise wigeon]

just uh in the future if you have some cash lying around, consider a psu upgrade

[twilit ibex]

oh my vid

visa giftcards out of stock

[brittle lynx]

I'm repasting the thinkpad r40 and this plastic adhesive and thin metal plate came off, it was attached to the copper of the heat spreader. do I really need it?

[wise wigeon]

i mean if it was there

[brittle lynx]

it feels like it simply reduces heat transfer

since it has no paste in between

nvm it's so oxidized it probably harms temperatures enough

uneven surface it feels really crusty

[twilit ibex]

yo

which giftcard is it

[wise wigeon]

bro where are these random walmarts

mine has a 400 dollar 7800x3d and i thought that was decent

[ancient swift]

No wayyyy

Might be open box?

[wise wigeon]

even then

at $100

huh best buy has a $60 electronic standing desk thats 48x24

thats like not bad

its only 110 capacity though

[devout forum]

Walmart and Costco are the two places you never go into with the intent to buy computer parts, but somehow always find the best deals

[wise wigeon]

its because nobody knows where to find the parts and they just sit there til they get put on clearance

hmm

[lone mango]

That was cad pricing

[rancid juniper]

really?

[lone mango]

Convert the 750 to usd and you get 529

[rancid juniper]

if CAD pricing is to be true then this is good

[fresh timber]

Bad

[lone mango]

Yeah should be free instead

[rancid juniper]

i was hoping for 9070XT to aim around $500 USD

[hoary zodiac]

Peak food

[fresh timber]

Disgusting

LUCKY BASTARD

[surreal comet]

At least I wasn't paying a reseller

[hoary zodiac]

Sub-$1000 card

[surreal comet]

[hoary zodiac]

you're probably one of the last ones to get a sub-1k XTX

they're not staying $900 for much longer

[surreal comet]

What stalking Amazon does to you

[fair onyx]

@hoary zodiacHows the shipping going?

[misty sparrow]

[hoary zodiac]

[surreal comet]

Some of us have no life

[hoary zodiac]

[misty sparrow]

deez

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

It’s funny, the cpu uses so little power I don’t even need fans on the AIO

[rancid juniper]

but the journey is over, you can now touch one grass

[hoary zodiac]

uh

no news

[wise wigeon]

well you lucked out vs mine

[dusk knot]

There will be a reckoning, compooper

[misty sparrow]

Still better than having no friends

[hoary zodiac]

but I made snags

👍

[surreal comet]

I thought 950 was a bit high but then I realized most relisting were at like 1200 LMAO

[rancid juniper]

yea RDNA 4 curb stomping nvidia

[surreal comet]

I'll take the deals I can get

[rancid juniper]

love to see it

[dusk knot]

Lol

[rancid juniper]

[nocturne flicker]

'Working'

[wise wigeon]

like best buy wtf

[surreal comet]

Hold on gotta do the power connectors on the motherboard this is an all day affair

[surreal comet]

You'll snag it soon

[fair onyx]

Mine still has no info lol

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

(Can beat xxx gpu listing)

very honest

[wise wigeon]

no i have it

[surreal comet]

This is gonna go into an Antec Flux case

[wise wigeon]

look above

[surreal comet]

Hopefully the cooling is sufficient

🙏

[wise wigeon]

lol same case

[rancid juniper]

they tend to be well cooled so no worries there

[surreal comet]

LMAOOOO

[wise wigeon]

we really were twinning

[rancid juniper]

them RDNA 3 cards are overbuilt

except for some of the two fan models

[surreal comet]

Idk what the "black" edition is tbh

[wise wigeon]

like bloody hell

[surreal comet]

It looks like someone beat the hell out of that box

[wise wigeon]

they couldnt just put it in a fricking box?

[surreal comet]

They were mad you got lucky

[hoary zodiac]

huh

[surreal comet]

Mine came double boxed with paper

Because Amazon better not screw it up

🙏

[hoary zodiac]

there is a joke here somewhere

I don't dare to make it

[nocturne flicker]

All GM has done is said they'd be willing to shift truck and some part productions to the US

[surreal comet]

Hold on gotta plug in PC fans

[wise wigeon]

my gpu was sent as is with a sticker just slapped on the box

[surreal comet]

You know the second I rebuild my PC we get a windstorm and I lose power

[hoary zodiac]

that should not be allowed

[nocturne flicker]

All their low price cars and EVs would still be made in Mexico even if they did that. So 'working'

[hoary zodiac]

that's not standard procedure

[surreal comet]

I think this Antec has a fan hub?

[hoary zodiac]

you can't just ship the box

[surreal comet]

I've never used one

[wise wigeon]

yes

[surreal comet]

Kinda confused hold on

[hoary zodiac]

was it a third party?

[wise wigeon]

also look at you side panel for me real quick

[hoary zodiac]

this is literally not standard shipping procedure

[wise wigeon]

its literally bestbuy

[dense locust]

We play what?

[hoary zodiac]

bestbuy?

with worse shipping than ebay?

[wise wigeon]

yeah no i'm about to rain hell on a poor bestbuy support

[nocturne flicker]

I can't wait for home prices to shoot up again after they started to drop though now that 30% of the lumber in the US'll be 25% more expensive to import. Fun

[wise wigeon]

they dont deserve it

but i'm friggin pissed

[surreal comet]

C'mon man he makes minimum wage

Leave him out of it

[wise wigeon]

thats if i even get a real human lol

prob just have bots responding

[surreal comet]

Bro gonna curse at the ai responder

[wise wigeon]

damn right i am

[hoary zodiac]

the three north koreans hackers in a shed is going to be replaced by AI

[wise wigeon]

luckily for me

[hoary zodiac]

actually no realistically the north koreans are going to take over everyone's ai systems and do a lil trolling

[surreal comet]

Okay I can't find the manual for my case is this dumb to ask

[wise wigeon]

I ordered a nitro plus on amazon before this as a backup

[surreal comet]

The fans are all connected into what I think is a fan hub

[wise wigeon]

i've built in it lmk

[hoary zodiac]

where

I'll take your nitro plus off you for free

[surreal comet]

Does it make sense I can only find one fan plugin for the motherboard

[hoary zodiac]

is there a fan hub or daisy chain cable?

oh

I didn't read the sentence above

[surreal comet]

I assume that's a fan hub? I've genuinely never used one

[hoary zodiac]

that is indeed

[surreal comet]

I can only find one fan connector coming out of it

Alright thanks I was just unsure

[opaque sedge]

Bro is abt to successfully turn me vegan

[surreal comet]

Not used to using one lole

Makes this much easier then

[hoary zodiac]

don't disrespect aussie cuisine

be thankful I didn't put vegemite on it

[opaque sedge]

I’m scared to know what regular meals are to aussies if that is considered cuisine

[surreal comet]

I find the fan at the bottom of the case kinda weird tbh @wise wigeon

It just

Blows into the GPU?

Or

Or is that an intake? Zero clue

[opaque sedge]

My minced beef stirfry with a bunch of veggies chopped up and added to it looks better

[wise wigeon]

yes

[hoary zodiac]

oh you should see my dinner yesterday

[surreal comet]

I'll leave it though doubt it's doing anything bad

[surreal comet]

Idk weird as hell placement lol

Atleast i don't need to add any fans

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/взгляд-2000-ярдов-война-war-soldier-gif-3632617944134077161

[opaque sedge]

Eh not as bad as i was expecting

My dinners looks similar

[hoary zodiac]

the meat was leftover bolognese so

[opaque sedge]

Cept my veggies look happier

[hoary zodiac]

I just dumped the broccoli in the rice cooker steamer

too lazy to clean another pot

the potato was air fried

[wise wigeon]

is there a bulge in your side panel as well or is mine just banged up

[surreal comet]

Is it bad I can never figure out how to mount the SSD so I just let it sit loose in the SSD cage

[opaque sedge]

Could just microwave it too yk

[surreal comet]

[hoary zodiac]

nah

rice cooker supremacy

[hoary zodiac]

you know what else-

[opaque sedge]

You merely adopted the rice cooker

[wise wigeon]

my gpu

[surreal comet]

Don't think so

[opaque sedge]

I was born into a rice cooker dependent household

[hoary zodiac]

I'm asian

[opaque sedge]

Raised with the rice cooker

[wise wigeon]

like i swear this build has been cursed af

[opaque sedge]

Oh same but south asian

[hoary zodiac]

east asian

where in south asia?

[opaque sedge]

Indian subcontinent ig

[hoary zodiac]

yeah fair

[surreal comet]

It said my GPU was made in China when do I get annihilated by terifs

[hoary zodiac]

there's like 50 different peoples living in that one country

[opaque sedge]

Not indian tho but most demographics in south asian countries look so damn similar its easier to just say south asian

[hoary zodiac]

ohh

hmm

are you closer to SEA?

[surreal comet]

It's beautiful

[opaque sedge]

I’m a us resident rn

[hoary zodiac]

at least in terms of ethnicity?

[surreal comet]

They said the power would be back by 4:15 it's currently 4 and there's no power

[opaque sedge]

Directly above india

[hoary zodiac]

ohh so like

[opaque sedge]

The country where sherpas are from

[hoary zodiac]

nepal/bhutan/tibetian

[opaque sedge]

Nepal

[hoary zodiac]

nice nice

tbh that's closer to the tibetian culture group than indian

or really, a mix

[opaque sedge]

Depends lots of varieties in the demographics there

[dusk knot]

Benchmarks plz

[surreal comet]

12

Sir I have no power I can't even plug it in 💔

All this horsepower and not a single watt to power it

[opaque sedge]

You will find people who look like “regular” asians and then u’ll find folks who look like indians then u’ll find folks who look indian but somehow different

[hoary zodiac]

ah

so it's more of a mixing pot

[dusk knot]

Wh.....but this is AMERICA!

[surreal comet]

Okay terrible timing

The lights JUST came back on

[hoary zodiac]

It's funny when you go to another country tho

[dusk knot]

L

[hoary zodiac]

for me people usually ask if I'm chinese

[dusk knot]

Now you benchmark

[opaque sedge]

Ig but its still very easy to differentiate people cuz people would start families in their own caste or ethnic communities for the longest time even today i think

[hoary zodiac]

technically I'm not

[hoary zodiac]

technically I'm Cantonese-Chinese

I speak (a) Chinese language

[dusk knot]

Cool

[opaque sedge]

Yeah asian ethnicities are confusing

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[opaque sedge]

So confusing even the asians themselves get confused

[hoary zodiac]

it's easier to think of India and China as a union of nations than one national identity

[opaque sedge]

I was bamboozled when i learned how present islam was in ancient china in 6th grade

[hoary zodiac]

lol

my mum paid tributes to taoist and buddist temples

monotheism isn't really a thing in China

at least for the non-christian population

[dusk knot]

True

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

Oh Theo

[opaque sedge]

The new gen of disappointing gpus have turned jp into a chatbot

[fresh timber]

I unplugged my AIO pump and I’m watching the tempters rise slowly

[opaque sedge]

With a severe lack of ai tensor cores

[hoary zodiac]

has anyone seen tommyai recently btw

feels like we've been missing a mod

[opaque sedge]

Which is why he can only reply with one word

[opaque sedge]

What if the life of the mod has been missing him

[dusk knot]

Yeah .......a part of me wants a 5080 tho....I could always scal...I mean sell it if I don't like it

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-thousand-yard-stare-stare-tiktok-wtf-gif-12206044702998985154

[opaque sedge]

Bro is gonna upscale his price

[hoary zodiac]

wtf this is literally his last message

bro died

[dusk knot]

By $100

I'm not cruel

[opaque sedge]

A somewhat reasonable scalper is still a scalper no less

[dusk knot]

-$100

[surreal comet]

This card is huge LMAO

That or the 4070 is small

[hoary zodiac]

if you pay a scalper

the scalper earns profit for doing nothing

they are quite literally the middleman

[dusk knot]

-$1000

[opaque sedge]

Oh right @hoary zodiac the people who look kinda indian in nepal but not really look the most similar to latin people or south american

[surreal comet]

This this comes with a damn support bar?

At least I won't need no sag bracket

[hoary zodiac]

nah they look asian def

[dusk knot]

I mean....you're 4070 was already below average

[hoary zodiac]

you just have to dig deeper to find their lineage than just looking

[surreal comet]

There's commentary to be made but my wife did it long ago

[opaque sedge]

Hmm makes sense ig south america has a rather diverse gene pool ig given world history

[dusk knot]

I didn't mean to 💀

[hoary zodiac]

the american/european gene pool is very distinct

they're similar in the sense that they're mixed ethnicities

[surreal comet]

[opaque sedge]

Def interesting to think abt

[opaque sedge]

Its an efficient card so no real need for a big cooler

[hoary zodiac]

one day we're all going to look like that

if we last thousands of years into the future

every human is going to end up looking uniform

[dusk knot]

We will make it ...

[opaque sedge]

Reminds me sometimes u’ll find folks in nepal who could pass for white 💀

[hoary zodiac]

I'm like

really yellow

[surreal comet]

Yeah it only pulled some 150 watts

[hoary zodiac]

sometimes I think I'm darker skinned than some other asians

[surreal comet]

The 4070

[wise wigeon]

Well

[dusk knot]

Doesn't matter in the end, just be you.

[wise wigeon]

Looks sealed

[hoary zodiac]

oh no It's not a racial discussion

[opaque sedge]

Asian skin color is weird i’m darker than both my parents but my facial features are an exact duplicate of theirs

[dusk knot]

Oh great

[hoary zodiac]

it's more that it's fascinating how much asians differ across a region

like someone from say

[wise wigeon]

And I can’t find any physical flaws on the card

[dusk knot]

True ...

Diversity good

[hoary zodiac]

manchuria would have a different skin tone from macao

[wise wigeon]

I just dunno how to feel

[dusk knot]

Plug it now

[nocturne flicker]

Always feel despair, that way when something good happens it is a big up

[hoary zodiac]

I myself is a mix

still in the south china region tho

[dusk knot]

Not really a distinctive mix tbh

[hoary zodiac]

my family is from Fujian and Guangzhou respectively

so not really a major difference but still

[surreal comet]

Hopefully it stays like that

Twinsies

[dusk knot]

Which side do you like the most?

[hoary zodiac]

actually I think my family's from the same region where Sun Yat-Sen was born in

[hoary zodiac]

in what way?

[wise wigeon]

Looks fine

[dusk knot]

Family/culture

[hoary zodiac]

I probably relate more to the Guangzhou side since I grew up in the Cantonese region

[dusk knot]

Oh ok

[hoary zodiac]

Fujian tea is nice tho

[dusk knot]

I personally like my mother's side over my dad's

[hoary zodiac]

yeah my mother's side is the cantonese side

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[hoary zodiac]

imo chinese minorities aren't celebrated enough

[wise wigeon]

I guess we’ll see if it works

[hoary zodiac]

they're usually lumped under the umbrella of the chinese nation

well..

[dusk knot]

They're drowned out for sure

[hoary zodiac]

they are celebrated within china

but outside?

[wise wigeon]

But if the nitro plus decides to ship this week or the 5070 ti is good and I can get one

[hoary zodiac]

you only really see Mandarin and Cantonese speaking people

[opaque sedge]

Felt similarly when i heard of impressions the people here had of south asians

[wise wigeon]

I will not feel bad about returning this to bestbuy

[hoary zodiac]

chinese minorities are pretty rare out here

and I'm pretty sure Cantonese only has the presence it does because of historical trade

[opaque sedge]

Most of them thought they were all like just indians and the fact india itself is diverse af too 💀

[hoary zodiac]

yeah most people don't see past the skin color

[hoary zodiac]

people try to speak mandarin to me but like

I can barely speak it

my first language is cantonese

[dusk knot]

You're still very fluent?

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

I'm slipping

but I can still keep up in a conversation

although

I speak the Hong Kong dialect

[fresh timber]

Hola soy Dora

[hoary zodiac]

which has a lot of English vocabulary mixed into it

[fresh timber]

definitelythatguyred

[opaque sedge]

Wbt writing?

[hoary zodiac]

even faster

[opaque sedge]

I have completely lost my writing and reading letters of my native tongue 💀

[hoary zodiac]

I write in Chinese traditional and they're a huge pain to remember

[dusk knot]

Interesting interesting..many languages are doing that nowadays

[opaque sedge]

Altho a quick recap and practice could remedy it

[hoary zodiac]

Britannia rule the tongue

[opaque sedge]

Could possibly on second thought

[opaque sedge]

The conquest never stopped

[nocturne flicker]

What is Britannia going to do with that tongue...wait

[hoary zodiac]

I need like years to get back to a junior high school standard

I graduated high school in Australia so

Chinese was never one of my strengths

[opaque sedge]

Same even back in my country the native language was never my strength either

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[dusk knot]

Same

[hoary zodiac]

English is a lot easier to learn than most asian languages

[opaque sedge]

Too many rules atleast they were distinct enough to not hamper speech tho

[dusk knot]

Fr

[hoary zodiac]

especially with how accessible it is

[dusk knot]

I tried Vietnamese. I almost died

[hoary zodiac]

the strength of English is its widespread adoption and accessibility

not the language itself

especially in ex-british colonies like HK

[opaque sedge]

Truly very simple rules and no need to use special second person pronouns depending on the age and relationship of the second person

[hoary zodiac]

English is pretty much the second official language

[opaque sedge]

Its just ”you”

[hoary zodiac]

used to be the main official langauge for administrative purposes

meanwhile in Germany:

even german is a bit annoying tbh

depending in where you go

tho with german it's closer to dialects than distinct languages

[opaque sedge]

Different dialects and accents?

[opaque sedge]

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

yeah like how a low german dialect might be understood by a dutch person

but not someone who speaks the bavarian dialect

[opaque sedge]

Languages in south asia are like that too

[hoary zodiac]

I just remember the among us script from sri lanka

[nocturne flicker]

Amogus

[opaque sedge]

Among us?

[hoary zodiac]

actually it does come in hand in geoguesser

[dusk knot]

Amongst us

[hoary zodiac]

you can tell where in the subcontinent you are by looking at the script

sinhala script

I just call it the among us script

[dusk knot]

Among us

[hoary zodiac]

because uh

it looks sus

[nocturne flicker]

Betwixt us

Oh. It does actually look very sus

[fresh timber]

It’s a bunch of tiny among us

[nocturne flicker]

They even got a kill animation in there

[hoary zodiac]

wait

AHAHAHHA IT DOES

[opaque sedge]

I just see a bunch of buttocks

[hoary zodiac]

most of it are among us crewmates

[nocturne flicker]

And then one is just a cherry

[hoary zodiac]

nah that's the uhh

pet item

[opaque sedge]

Cherry huh…

[wise wigeon]

It looks fine idk what do y’all think

[surreal comet]

@wise wigeon still cleaning it up a bit

[wise wigeon]

I guess we’ll just see if it works

[hoary zodiac]

Is that a NH-U12S redux

[surreal comet]

Yes
