[cedar compass]

I think gt220 had 1gb ddr3 vram

[slate fractal]

i feel more ignored here than my parents ignore me

[sinful blade]

Real

I’m currently trying to text her right now and it won’t work

[cedar compass]

I didn't even knew integrated gpu is a thing untill when I get i7 8700k

[slate fractal]

Bruh none of that makes sense

[sage sluice]

[icy ore]

“We’re twins” cake says 100 and 101

[velvet summit]

Lmfao

My friend told me that they saw someone venting about how God hated them

Because they has insomnia and autism

💀

Literally like 2 of the most benign conditions to have

[sage sluice]

i have autism and cant sleep for the life of me with adhd, so felt ngl

not to that level tho LMAO

[sweet phoenix]

SAME

I was up until 5 am yesterday

[velvet summit]

💀

[sage sluice]

i forgot if you said youre on ritalin or

also i was up until 3

LMAO

[sweet phoenix]

Vyvanse

[sage sluice]

i got up for school at 6

[sage sluice]

samesies fr fr

[sweet phoenix]

Sleep is my worst enemy

[sage sluice]

i just jumped up to 20mg a couple weeks ago

and then school went out all last week for snow

[sweet phoenix]

Im still on 10, I take it as needed so my tolerance is still low asf

[sage sluice]

sleep is my worst nightmare

[sweet phoenix]

If I take it at 7am i still feel the effects at midnight

[sage sluice]

well used to

i love sleeping now fr

dont get night terrors every night anymore

[sweet phoenix]

I love sleeping, I just don't

[sage sluice]

ironically its harder to gain a tolerance if vyvanse isnt consistently taken

[sweet phoenix]

Last week I had abt four days of 2-4 hours of sleep

Yeah...

[sage sluice]

it hits hard for the first bit

[sweet phoenix]

I just don't need it daily

[sage sluice]

but after a week its fine

[sage sluice]

i dont either, but it works better and stops having as adverse of side effects if you take it every morning

even if i dont need it for the weekends i still take it

my doctor recommended it as well

[sweet phoenix]

Idk, I feel like I need to be productive when I take it and I go crazy when I dont have things I need to do

More like stir crazy than actually crazy

[sage sluice]

i just have impending anxiety regardless LMAO

[sweet phoenix]

Real

[sage sluice]

i feel like im never doing enough yet i get anxious that im wasting my time if i do anything

my parents definitely dont help

they constantly pressure me with more and more and more to the point i shut down and just dont do anything

and then they yell at me for not doing anything

[sweet phoenix]

Thats awful

[unreal trail]

sleeeeeep

[sage sluice]

🥹

[sweet phoenix]

Im sorry you have to deal with that

[sage sluice]

i feel awful about it too because theyre stupidly hard workers

my mom cant relax, she has to constantly be working

[sweet phoenix]

Authoritarian parenting never works

Ever

[sage sluice]

then they guilt trip me when i dont follow their footsteps

but they have good intents too

so its like

[sweet phoenix]

They made their own choices just like you can make your own

[sage sluice]

no matter what i do its wrong

[sage sluice]

eh yeah

[sweet phoenix]

Doesn't change the harm they're doing though, it's good to honor the effort and work they put in but don't feel like you're forced to be who they want you to be

[sage sluice]

ironically im very anti authoritarian on smallscale operation

[sweet phoenix]

You'll be a great person whayever you do, and you gotta do what's best for you

[sage sluice]

i know, its just unfortunate. theyre making me sign a "family contract" and threatening to kick me out when i graduate if im not up to their standards by then and before then

[sweet phoenix]

Wtfffff

[sage sluice]

i really appreciate that

i hope i will lol

[sweet phoenix]

Thats royally f'd up

[sage sluice]

i dont know any different so i couldnt really put opinion into it

i do try but it feels like its never enough and i never even get as much as a thank you

now ive kinda just fallen apart

[sweet phoenix]

From what it sounds you do everything you can and more, burnout is very, very real

[sage sluice]

i could always do more

[sweet phoenix]

It might feel that way but its not true

Humans have their limits, especially kids and teens

Being pushed to the point you can't see straight is horrible for your mental and physical health

[sage sluice]

Yeah

I cant really disagree

But there isnt really much i can do about it

Ive moved to 11 different schools and dont really have any long term friends and especially not ones whod help me, only one i could even think of is my best friend from 3rd grade whos 2 states away and dealing with her own hellscape

[sinful blade]

@sweet phoenix do this when you’re feeling unproductive

[sweet phoenix]

11 schools is insane, i thought i had been to a lot with 8. Being moved so often makes it so difficult to form long term connections

[sage sluice]

8 is a lot too lmao

and yeah i completely feel the same

most ive ever been in one school was 2 and a half years of highschool

i was hoping i could stay all of highschool but nope

[sweet phoenix]

I had one elementary school so I had 5 years there

Two middle schools and two and a half high schools

[sage sluice]

fair

[sweet phoenix]

Don't worry about the half

Now I'm in college

[sage sluice]

you burnt one side of the building in half

[sweet phoenix]

Shh

[sage sluice]

im so scared for college

[sweet phoenix]

They never caught me

[sage sluice]

i dont even know what i want to do and i dont know if ill even have a roof over my head

[sweet phoenix]

College is easier than HS, although I'm not taking a full course load

[sweet phoenix]

Do you work?

[sage sluice]

im sure the work type is easier

[sinful blade]

Don’t need to worry about developing friendships and lasting relationships if you can’t develop feelings in the first place

[sage sluice]

trying to get a job, quit my last two because one had horrible management and the other i got paid 11 an hour and not enough work

[sweet phoenix]

Ew

[sage sluice]

unfortunately im autistic and overly emotional

[sweet phoenix]

REAL

If you don't have a place to stay, don't feel like you need to rush into college. You can wait until you're settled financially enough to have somewhere to stay and take classes

[sage sluice]

i took this stupid career path thing this morning and got assaulted with a paywall at the end

[sweet phoenix]

I graduated hs in 2023 and have completed a whole 5 classes

[sage sluice]

it wouldnt give me actual career paths lol

[sweet phoenix]

Do you enjoy computers?

Im going for a CS major. You also don't need a major figured out when you start

[sinful blade]

I have Asperger’s and I’m the opposite

[sweet phoenix]

I've changed my major three times

[sage sluice]

you say that but where i live, tennessee promise is a half community college scholarship grant and half 4 year college grant, and you have to do it IMMEDIATELY after graduating

[sinful blade]

Suicidal tendencies gang UNITE

[sweet phoenix]

Jesus

[sage sluice]

too shut off from people of a career path for me i think, dont see a world where i dont lose my mind

[sweet phoenix]

My states got free community college but it doesn't have that type of requirement

[sweet phoenix]

Wdym?

Like not interacting with people enough?

[sage sluice]

if i failed college with that grant id have to pay it back rip

[sage sluice]

also im not really interested in that mathimatical of a field

but yeah

ive been considering psychology a bit

[sweet phoenix]

Id say look into 2-4 year Healthcare degrees then. You don't need to be a nurse or doctor, there's a lot of variation

[sage sluice]

but im still kinda loosey goosey and trying to find something i wont regret for the rest of my life

[sweet phoenix]

Psych is a good major

There should be some 4yr options

[sweet phoenix]

Trust me, you'll know if you want to switch once you take a psych class or two

[sage sluice]

im pretty sure id have to take it for a whole semester tho rip

id probably do mostly general studies and one class for psych

[sweet phoenix]

You could also get your associates degree in whatever, and then major in psychology for a bachelor's or masters degree

[sweet phoenix]

Good idea

[sage sluice]

i want to take a competent career test that doesnt cost money lol, i dont even have a debit card

and my mom wont take me to get one

[sweet phoenix]

I think i can find one

One sec

[sage sluice]

if you know of any good ones id appreciate it

[sweet phoenix]

Google focus 2 career

[sage sluice]

i know the ASVAB has some after i took that but idk how good it is

[sweet phoenix]

Or focus2career.com

[sage sluice]

will do

[sweet phoenix]

It's what my college uses and I believe it's free but don't quote me on that

Maybe naviance has one?

Idk

[sage sluice]

also side rant i took the asvab, got these scores and asked about it with a recruiting officer to have airforce as a backup plan and they said it wouldnt even be an option because i have a peanut allergy LMAO

[sweet phoenix]

LOL

The military will def take you somewhere

Although autism is a disqualifier

[sage sluice]

damn im all kinds of disqualified

although im sure thatd change in war

[sweet phoenix]

Same!

Chronic pain, bad back and tism

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah def

[sage sluice]

ive got visual snow syndrome, tism, take adhd meds, peanut allergy, and prolly more

[sweet phoenix]

Theres different levels of the draft sorta

And they slowly lower their standards lmao

[sage sluice]

desperation levels of draft

[sage sluice]

i have zero idea why some of these are already answered wuh

[velvet summit]

i can be trusted with a firearm

[sweet phoenix]

Weird

[sweet phoenix]

I've used a long rifle before

I want a pistol permit (not to carry) but I need to wait another year and a half

[sage sluice]

ive grown up shooting guns and playing with knives in the woods, what a goofy aa redneck dad does to you

[sweet phoenix]

I've got a friend in TN

Tennessee scares me

[velvet summit]

tbf i've used 3 types of firearms already
shotgun, semi auto rifle, and pistol

[sage sluice]

if you get a pistol id recommend learning the recoil at a shooting range, thatll be the biggest thing

[sweet phoenix]

My dad and sister just got their permits

[sage sluice]

its normal to hear gunshots here, because people love shooting targets, not people thankfully (most the time)

[sweet phoenix]

https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-rx-9070-gpu-performance-leak-comparable-rx-7900-gre-rx-7800-xt/

This has to be wrong

[velvet summit]

you can get firearms here for hunting or shooting range use
hunting is restricted to single shot rifles (whatever the name is)
shooting ranges allow (and are the only way civvies) can get a pistol or semi auto

[sweet phoenix]

No shot the 9070xt is worse than the 7900xt right?

[sage sluice]

ive shot ARs, shotguns, revolvers, standard issue rifles, archery w/ my recurve and compound bow, and ive thrown knives shurikens and tomahawks. tennessee is an interesting place

[sage sluice]

you dont even need a gun permit here to carry

[velvet summit]

(in canada)

[sage sluice]

all they do is a background check and they'll sell you a gun

[sweet phoenix]

WHATTT

[velvet summit]

the only thing you can easily get here is a hunting rifle

[sweet phoenix]

I love the US

[velvet summit]

(legally)

[sage sluice]

people dont shoot people often here ironically, because most people here have guns to defend themselves lol

[sweet phoenix]

I can own a shotgun or long rifle in my state after two 4 hour classes and going to the range and not killing anyone

[velvet summit]

the nuclear approach

[sweet phoenix]

No pistols or semi auto rifles tho

Tell me why an 18 year old can own a shotgun but not a hand gun

[velvet summit]

💀

[sage sluice]

you can legally carry a

oop

whyd my message do that

[velvet summit]

a

[sage sluice]

half of it got deleted and got linkified

[velvet summit]

💀

[sweet phoenix]

Lmao

[sage sluice]

@sweet phoenix damn

[sweet phoenix]

Ooooof

It might work if you use your school email but idk

[sage sluice]

i wish i could buy and get the damn answers from Career Fitter since thats a legitimately good test 💀

[sweet phoenix]

Wb programming/coding?

They make bank

[sage sluice]

wb acronym moment

[sweet phoenix]

What about

[sage sluice]

i hate software

with a passion

✨

[sweet phoenix]

Hey me too

Were the same person

[sage sluice]

i still dont like the idea of coding regardless

[sweet phoenix]

Understandable

[sage sluice]

i have a friend whos field of study is doing it, ive seen their work and

[sweet phoenix]

Coding gives me aneurisms

[sage sluice]

holy hell id off myself instantly

[sweet phoenix]

I need to take two coding classes for my major

If not three

For the job I start soon I need to learn html python Java and c+

At least my will be boss wants me to

He also wants me to learn linux/apple os too

[sage sluice]

computer engineering looks a bit interesting to me hypothetically but in reality its too linear and boring for my brain

im a people person through and through lol

also because of my uh wonderful motivation and, cough, 0.8 gpa

[sweet phoenix]

Alr i gotta run

Peace

[sage sluice]

i didnt really pay attention all through hs

lol cya man

[mental yoke]

Ngl I hated it at first then it became kinda a hobby

I attach to it pretty fast

Very tedious tho

[sage sluice]

interesting

id get too fustrated lol

it doesnt feel logical to me, more like learning a language

[craggy shoal]

Therapeutic to me idk what y'all are talking about lol

[mental yoke]

When you make all the code and you have a bad line then you have to go all the way back and it turns out you made a spelling error or formatted it wrong

[sage sluice]

we all have our interests ✨

[sage sluice]

id evaporate

its too slow for me too

[mental yoke]

Language is a perfect word for this.

[sage sluice]

german already sucked ass to learn

i aint doin that again LOL

[remote geode]

seems like a pattern from the latest generation of the big 2 GPU makers

[fresh timber]

ima start abusing my student discounts

i want cheap stuff

[sage sluice]

why wouldnt you ngl

youre a student

[fresh timber]

yup

[sage sluice]

its not abuse if the system is made for it

[fresh timber]

i got the emailto proveit

im using it for my computer, airpods, everything

[sage sluice]

hell ye

[mental yoke]

Ngl I'd wanna learn swedish

[craggy shoal]

I need to learn Vietnamese

(my gf is natively Vietnamese)

[mental yoke]

Learn it and show it to her on valentines

[craggy shoal]

She's a very good English speaker but I'm going to visit her family in Vietnam at some point

[mental yoke]

Or a special day

[craggy shoal]

Difficult when you're a native English speaker though lol

[mental yoke]

Hm idk

My uncle learned Korean very fast in a year

[craggy shoal]

Wow that's crazy

[mental yoke]

Spoke fluent until he came back to the states

[craggy shoal]

I just can't stay dedicated to learning a language I guess

I have ADHD so moving from project to project makes sticking to learning Vietnamese difficult

[mental yoke]

Well tbf he was stationed in Korea

[craggy shoal]

Unless I just followed instructions in Vietnamese 💀

[craggy shoal]

oh gotcha

[sage sluice]

the swedes scare me, theyre a silly bunch

[mental yoke]

... me looking right and left being Swedish

[craggy shoal]

lolll

[sage sluice]

so true

you scare me then

fr fr

[mental yoke]

Most ima do is bake some delicious stuff for you

We are so sweet I swear

[sage sluice]

dude i friggen love baking lol

[mental yoke]

ME TOO

[sage sluice]

but yeah i love the swedes

[mental yoke]

More than cooking

[sage sluice]

id send some pics of the stuff ive made but im too lazy to find em lol

[mental yoke]

I'm a terrible baker though because I'm always guilty of sticking my finger in the dough or mixture and tasting it before the oven

[sage sluice]

too true

i hold out and bake for others, i love seeing other people excited

[fresh timber]

\bro pulled a asian queen

[sage sluice]

insane comment lmao

[mental yoke]

ME TOO

[fresh timber]

i got a free phone

[sage sluice]

god last couple times ive baked ive made my own homemade jams with berries, i did a blackberry jam for some scones and a blueberry and lemon juice jam for some mini bundt cakes i did

i want to make some jellies with them at some point

a mortar and pestle is so fun to use lol

[mental yoke]

I wish my grandma taught me how she sealed her jams and jellies

We'd grow them in the backyard along with the sassafras in the root cellar

[sage sluice]

my Oma has a wall of jars and canned goods she does herself, she purifies her own water as well

[rancid juniper]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-preparing-fluid-motion-frames-2-1-afmf

[sage sluice]

i used to love chewing on the sugar cane on the farm my great grandpa ran until he was about 85 or so

[mental yoke]

Never grew that before

Yk what

Can you grow sugar cane in a house?

[misty sparrow]

I’m hoping it isn’t an iPhone

Can’t tell

[sage sluice]

id imagine itd be difficult but im not really sure tbh

[mental yoke]

They require lots of water right? And light?

[fresh timber]

if it was a iphone id fix it so fast

i want a bigger iphone

[misty sparrow]

well if it was an iPhone you’d have to get a stupidly overpriced screen directly from Apple if you don’t want features to be locked out

[sage sluice]

very much so, although the biggest issue is the sheer amount of room they require

theyre very tall plants

[fresh timber]

cheaper than me buying a bigger phone kek

[misty sparrow]

And good luck replacing it because the difficulty of taking an iPhone apart is astronomical

[fresh timber]

i

i found it

this phone

[mental yoke]

Darn I was hoping to make a little channel in my house with water running through it and the couch sits in front of it in the living room

[sage sluice]

lol thatd be sick

[mental yoke]

Kind of like what they do with bamboo

[sage sluice]

but yeah

[fresh timber]

REVVL® 7 5G

[misty sparrow]

uhh what phone is this

[sage sluice]

bamboo is very functionally different from cane id say

[misty sparrow]

oh nvm

Never heard of this brand

[sage sluice]

bamboo will do anything to prosper

cane is picky

[mental yoke]

Ever see cats palm? Literally my favorite plant

[fresh timber]

is it oled

[sage sluice]

i just looked it up, its definitely pretty

[misty sparrow]

Don’t know never seen this brand

“REVVL” is just something unfamiliar

[mental yoke]

I wanted my house to look kinda like a tropical resort on the inside LOL

[fresh timber]

same

it feels reconsiazble

[sage sluice]

for me its hard, i really love honey suckle and there was an edible flower my mimi used to grow that had like a light spicy cinnamon like taste to it

[sage sluice]

i remembered what theyre called, nasturtium

i love these things

[mental yoke]

Ik whats you're talking about, my aunt grew that flower but I forget it

[fresh timber]

i need a charger to try chaginging this

[sage sluice]

theyre fun to chew on lol

[mental yoke]

YEP these are it

We have touch me nots that grow in the woods

So fun to poke them

[sage sluice]

i dont think we have any of those here

[mental yoke]

Well i live in ohio lmao

I wanna be in Florida someday

[sage sluice]

i lived in florida for 6 years

be careful lol

i like the north a bit more

south is political hell

[mental yoke]

Don't need to tell me much, that sun. It can burn you within 20 minutes

[sage sluice]

shoot yeah for sure, ive harvested on my little grandpas farm there when he was still alive during the summers

the heat was INTENSE

picking potatos with rays of hell

acres of land

[mental yoke]

LOL I laid in the sun to get a tan to match me more, make me look a bit better, I kept looking down and was like "man it doesn't look like I'm tan yet" I was there for an hour.

Rest of my vacation sucked

🤣

[sage sluice]

LMAO yeah thats the worst thing you can do

how to get sun poisoning in 3 easy steps

[mental yoke]

First time i got sun poisoning

And it's cause I just wanted a damn tan LOL

[sage sluice]

when i was younger i got a blister on my shoulder so bad that it covered my entire shoulder, it looked like someone put a coffee mug on my shoulder

it was horrid

[mental yoke]

It was my forehead for me

[sage sluice]

egh id perish inside lmao

forehead is a messed up spot for that

i wanna grow a garden myself at some point, maybe some bell peppers and chilis, an array of general spices

[mental yoke]

I couldn't send a photo of myself to my gf AT ALL

I was embarrassed

[sage sluice]

lmao

[mental yoke]

I want a root cellar again, make my own rootbeer

[sage sluice]

thankfully it was toward the start of summer for me

[sage sluice]

that sounds amazing

ive never had a homemade rootbeer before

[mental yoke]

It's pretty easy ngl

I'm surprised a lot of people don't do it

And it tastes 10000x better than store bought

[sage sluice]

oh i can imagine

closest ive had is a homemade ginger beer

i can safely say ginger beer isnt for me lmao

[mental yoke]

Oh no one drinks ginger beer

I can assure you

It's a good mixer and it's used as a herb for stomach aches

[sage sluice]

you say that but when my step dad was up in europe he saw a kid guzzling a whole ass bottle of straight ginger beer

[mental yoke]

WHAT

He's an odd ball then

LOL

[sage sluice]

lmaoo

i just saw it as like a cultural taste

[mental yoke]

Everyone i met accidentally drank it pulling it out of my fridge

[sage sluice]

like if you didnt grow up with it

it sucks

[sage sluice]

lol thats so unfortunate

[mental yoke]

It's spicy, very carbonated

However

VERY VERY good for mixing alcohol in

[sage sluice]

i once took a straight bite of ginger i found growing on the playground at my school when i was in middleschool

[mental yoke]

10/10 recommend mixing it with alcohol

[sage sluice]

it was, well lets say i regretted it

[sage sluice]

id love to but id be committing a crime loll

not that i havent drank before tho so ig

[mental yoke]

Well my grandma used ginger beer for that

And just fed it to me if I had a stomach ache

Which i hated doing

😒

[sage sluice]

idk the worst for me was my mom giving me apple cider vinegar

that stuff is just, holy asscheeks

[mental yoke]

I don't think people drink it straight

Do they?

I thought it was always for cooking

[sage sluice]

my mom made me and my brother when we were sick yeah

[mental yoke]

OH

As a herb

Maybe a sour patch kid would even it out

🤣

[sage sluice]

the smell to this day makes me nauseas

[sage sluice]

sour patch kids could be so much more, if they were more like sweet tart ropes theyd be way better

sweet tart ropes are my lifeblood

[mental yoke]

They could be

But they're cheap

How do you get cheaper than 2 bucks a bag idk

[sage sluice]

i mean, id rather spend more on something good then feel bad about something cheap

less is more

[mental yoke]

Better than onions made into cough syrup

But my great grandma

[craggy shoal]

Heck yeah I did

[sage sluice]

wuh

that sounds terrifying

[fresh timber]

Is her family rich

[mental yoke]

Apparently she'd feed it to my grandma when she was sick

They lived on a farm

[craggy shoal]

Not really

[sage sluice]

im still single, im bi and have twice the potential game and i somehow manage to still lose 💀

[sage sluice]

im not sure how much thatd really help ngl

[frigid stag]

I hate to say skill issue but....

[sage sluice]

i mean ive dated twice but 😔

[frigid stag]

Need to up those numbers

[mental yoke]

My grandma STILL can't eat onions to this day to tell you how bad it is

[sage sluice]

i dont date just anybody, im stupidly picky

[frigid stag]

Actually idk if that’s a good thing 💀

Don’t become easy obviously

[sage sluice]

yikes, i can imagine

[frigid stag]

Good time to insert a your mom joke too 💀

[sage sluice]

im bout to get into college here later this year, so im probably gonna be way better off then

especially considering ive moved to 11 schools

[grand kernel]

bro what on earth is this 50 series launch 💀 could they have made it any worse

[mental yoke]

Anyways this is how I want my house to look

[frigid stag]

Yeah probably

[sage sluice]

blud is talking about tech in the tech server

[frigid stag]

Widens your chances

[grand kernel]

I fear for my nvidia stocks

[sage sluice]

god i wish i could even afford those stairs LMAO

[grand kernel]

[sage sluice]

i forsee potential future investments lol

[mental yoke]

It's a dream but I'm working to it, slowly getting everything together

[sage sluice]

nvidia is kinda too big to fail if they do the bare minimum, they'll tank here and make it up later. theyre like toddlers testing their boundaries

[grand kernel]

nvidia saw the 7900xtx launch issues and said we can do so much better

[sage sluice]

hell yeah dude, you gotta strive

[mental yoke]

After the house comes the yacht

And then

I just drink Pina coladas

[frigid stag]

Ok maybe keep it a bit realistic 💀

[sage sluice]

💀

[frigid stag]

House is fine but yacht...💀

[sage sluice]

Solution, turn the house into a yacht

[velvet summit]

I don't want a yacht

[frigid stag]

Live on a house boat XDDDD

[sage sluice]

why aim for a yacht when you could aim for a real display of wealth (burning down your house with an nvidia card)

[velvet summit]

I want a souped up speedboat if I ever get rich enough to get whatever watercraft I want

[grand kernel]

bonus points if you paid a scalper 10k for it

[sage sluice]

If i ever get enough wealth to do what i want im getting a house in germany 5 or so miles from a city in the woods along the mountains, nice cabin style house with a big entertainment center on the second floor

[mental yoke]

I NEED ONE

Or a pirate ship

Like 1700s pirate ship

[velvet summit]

A genuine one?

Or a reproduction

[mental yoke]

Yes

Genuine

[velvet summit]

💀

[mental yoke]

OH WAIT

[velvet summit]

That would be such a pain to become sailworthy

[mental yoke]

No i mean rebuilt

I responded to early

[sage sluice]

Bluds gonna show off his jar of dirt

[mental yoke]

I thought you meant like the design is genuine

No electric

[velvet summit]

Somebody actually has a completely new one

[mental yoke]

Give me hos contact info because we might be the same people in 2 different bodies

[velvet summit]

The guy built it himself

[mental yoke]

Holy crap that's cooler nvm

[velvet summit]

It does have an engine/motor installed though (iirc it's a requirement due to safety)

[mental yoke]

My engine always gonna be off

[sage sluice]

A brig is more than enough for me

[velvet summit]

Bridge

[sage sluice]

Im gonna bridge you

[mental yoke]

Ima cannon you

[sage sluice]

I would very much appreciate my poopdeck not being cannoned 😭

[mental yoke]

Well my navy needs practice

[sage sluice]

Ill send the brits after you

[mental yoke]

I'll fight em

And their heat seekers aren't gonna work with me

MUAHAHAH

[sage sluice]

Probably because your body heat will be gone by the end of it 😭

[craggy shoal]

[mental yoke]

Ay ay don't say thatt

We're scallywags

[craggy shoal]

I was applying for a job lol

[sage sluice]

If theres anything a brit can do, its plunder, and by god do they hate plunderers

[craggy shoal]

second time applying let's see whether I get ghosted again

[craggy shoal]

MFs said "we're trying to have as many people interviewed as possible by the end of the week" last time I applied. They better not ghost me again lmao

About to cold call them this time if that happens

[fresh timber]

Hey dont talk to my girlfriend like that

[craggy shoal]

I guess I have three girlfriends now

bruh

Two of them are dudes

[sage sluice]

Im not your girlfriend

[craggy shoal]

My girlfriend will hear about you two 😠😠😠

Am4 new launch?

[rancid juniper]

quiet launch yes

[sage sluice]

Interesting

[mental yoke]

You're the dude friend instead

[fresh timber]

how much for the 5705ge

[rancid juniper]

it just came out we do not know yet

[craggy shoal]

yooo perfect for my Windows Pro server

[sage sluice]

Im curious why theyd even launch more for am4, i mean its definitely not getting the brunt of sales no?

[fresh timber]

darn

i have a motherboard that could use a G cpu

i dont wanna buy a gpu

[mental yoke]

They launched more am4? I thought we moved on

[rancid juniper]

AM4 cannot die

wild

[fresh timber]

am4 still works

[craggy shoal]

35W 8-core desktop chip from AMD?

[fresh timber]

amd realises alot of their customers are on am5

[rancid juniper]

yep

[fresh timber]

so why not

[rancid juniper]

imagine their final AM4 chip was some Ryzen 3 X3D or 5950x3d

one can dream

[fresh timber]

5950x3d would be nice and possible

5800x+5800x3d

@craggy shoal pookie when are we going out

[sage sluice]

Is there even ryzen 3 in the 7000 series?

Well other than like laptop chips

[fresh timber]

Am5 ryzen 3??

Finally

[sinful blade]

@sweet phoenix how my old cpu felt

[rancid juniper]

and still no x3d

[sinful blade]

Also
I went to the American rescue workers today and got food

They really do help people in need

[fresh timber]

What

[sinful blade]

Great people

5 stars

[sage sluice]

Curious what this will cost

[fresh timber]

We have 9800x3d

[sinful blade]

$100-120

[rancid juniper]

Ryzen 5 7 9 got x3d why not ryzen 3?

[proud jackal]

[fresh timber]

No point?

[rancid juniper]

no point.... 😔

[fresh timber]

Just get 7500f and a b580

😭😭

[grand kernel]

ryzen 3 x3d 💀

[rancid juniper]

muh gaming perf

[fresh timber]

If it was $200

[rancid juniper]

well its for OEM builds

thats stupid expensive

[grand kernel]

did they ever fix the issues with the b580 requiring a 9800x3d to function

[sage sluice]

Thats like putting a turbo in an old toyota camry

[fresh timber]

Ryzen 7300x3d performance of a 5700x3d

In gaming

Worth $200??

[rancid juniper]

no, not yet

[rancid juniper]

nobody would buy for $200

😭

[fresh timber]

But. Good performance 😦

Only in gaming

[grand kernel]

[rancid juniper]

4 CORES

8 THREADS

[fresh timber]

Cores arnt everything tho

[grand kernel]

no amount of cache is going to save you from having 4 cores in 2025

[fresh timber]

I rocked a 4c4t cpu, with better ipc they were fine

[grand kernel]

💀

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-wth-wtf-really-meme-gif-17151805

[sinful blade]

It’s OEM

[grand kernel]

cores aren't everything but you definitely want more than 4 of them

💀

[rancid juniper]

yea

[sinful blade]

no retail sales for the 8300g

[fresh timber]

Stares at my 4c4t CPU that’s still capable of.(

[rancid juniper]

my games ran like fart on a pentium G7400

idc if it was overclocked it would still run like stutterfest

[grand kernel]

so you telling me you would buy your 4c4t cpu for $200 today?

[fresh timber]

lol my old laptop has a 4c8t cpu that runs fine

[fresh timber]

Idc about core count, I care about performance

[grand kernel]

and pay the costs of a modern platform to support it?

💀

[fresh timber]

If it’s performance is up to par yes I’ll buy one

[grand kernel]

where do you think that performance is going to come from

[rancid juniper]

i mean i too have a 4c/8t laptop and can run applications, but i wouldn't do intensive tasks with it

[sinful blade]

The 8300g only supports single channel memory lmao

[fresh timber]

Ipc,

[grand kernel]

💀

[rancid juniper]

[craggy shoal]

bruh what

single-channel memory in 2025 is wild

[sinful blade]

Also

Only supports PCIe 4.0 x2 for NVMe SSD and PCIe 4.0 x4 for add-in GPU

[rancid juniper]

IPC isn't everything

[fresh timber]

I use passmark it’s nice

[sage sluice]

alright guys im getting an ibm power4, cores arent everything

[grand kernel]

bro just stepped out of a time machine from the intel cpu design team in 2001

Just saying, if that 4c8t cpu can game like a beast I’ll be happy

I unironically used a 2c4t laptop and it runs good

[sage sluice]

i mean for general use and good cores thats fine

[grand kernel]

fx 1000 0.5c/1t gaming cpu

any takers

[sinful blade]

You can’t order less than 54 of these

[sage sluice]

[sinful blade]

Only $100 though

[fresh timber]

Ill run my dns server in it too

[mental yoke]

Can you dumb it down for me what they're saying 🥹

[sage sluice]

wait thats unironically kinda bank tho

run minecraft on a 2C/4T cpu with atleast 32 chunks

ngl I already kinda feel like modern 4c/8t is a little slow in windows

this new laptop I got for my mom

[rancid juniper]

its the bloat

[mental yoke]

It was a nerd joke, I'm just a jack of all trades

[grand kernel]

I can definitely feel some slowdown just doing stuff in windows

[mental yoke]

😭

[fresh timber]

I wanna buy a 5700/5800x3d but I need moneyyy

hi jack of all trades, im balou

[fresh timber]

Yup

[mental yoke]

Hi balou I'm actually dad

[grand kernel]

it's a great laptop for the price but it does not feel the same as an 11800h even just at idle

[sage sluice]

woah

[fresh timber]

I wanan give 5500 to my girlfriend lol

[sage sluice]

ill become your girlfriend for a 5500

[mental yoke]

My mom gave me a website guide for dummies book

Best birthday ever

[grand kernel]

I don't miss my 5800x

it was terrible

[worn wave]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtTRpEF

[sage sluice]

how come

[rancid juniper]

had a bad time with AMD

typical

[fresh timber]

what’s wrong with it

[mental yoke]

I have a 7 7700

[sage sluice]

id rather whats

[grand kernel]

I had one of the rare 1% of chips that still had USB dropout post agesa 1.2.0.7

[sage sluice]

ngl i wouldnt mind a 7700

[fresh timber]

5800x over 5700x3d just cause of the price

[sage sluice]

those cores would be nice

[mental yoke]

Is 128 ram a bit overkill?

[grand kernel]

it also had insanely high idle power draw

[rancid juniper]

NO WAY

😳

[sage sluice]

i mean depends

[grand kernel]

why are they using a picture of riven

[mental yoke]

I run minecraft

That's my most load on my machine

[fresh timber]

Give

[rancid juniper]

link from stevie

[sage sluice]

well i mean i assume the answer youre looking for is yes lol

[worn wave]

Honestly not even that crazy for a 5700x3d. They've gone up in price

[grand kernel]

but yeah idk I've had bad experiences with both amd and intel so at this point it's time to buy a centaur cpu

[mental yoke]

I was a noob building my first pc spent way over than what u should have

[worn wave]

Used to be able to get them for $150 or even sub $150

[sage sluice]

128 gigs of ram is pretty intense

i did my full research before building my machine

[mental yoke]

I just heard more the merrier and took that literally

[sage sluice]

even now looking back id be able to minmax it tenfold

[mental yoke]

Me too

But by

100fold

[sage sluice]

my guy is gonna learn harry potter spells for their cpu

[grand kernel]

nvidia cpu

may come with missing cores

[sage sluice]

nvidia cpus exist

but

[mental yoke]

Intel cpus confuse me

I just went with amd

I read them easier

[grand kernel]

buy a 16 core, might get 14 cores, might explode

[sage sluice]

intel scares me with some of the carelessness in their design as of recent

[sage sluice]

wasnt gamers nexus buying them off people

[grand kernel]

yes

[sage sluice]

and like paying 500 extra

that man does gods work 😭

[mental yoke]

Ah yes the $300 cpu

[grand kernel]

500 extra might not be enough for the people that bought from scalpers

💀

but people that bought from scalpers deserve what they get so

[sage sluice]

no he covered receipt cost

[grand kernel]

yeah

[sage sluice]

if someone paid 8k for their card he bought it for 8k plus paid for tax and shipping

also if someone paid 8k for their card

[mental yoke]

Spending 8k is crazy

[sage sluice]

idk i think they could afford to send it themselves LMAO

Still pissed for my ex texting me happy birthday yesterday

💀

LEAVE ME ALONE JEEZ

I thought we made it positive you'd never talk to me again and now I have to block you

[sage sluice]

it was bad enough that you went no contact? rip

[mental yoke]

Bro she was insane, cheated on me

Then wanted to come back

[sage sluice]

completely fair retort to her then

[mental yoke]

After I blocked her on everything

And i apparently forgot text messages

[sage sluice]

sounds like a user, staying with people when its convenient for her

[mental yoke]

Either way glad it's done

Haven't been happier

[sage sluice]

for sure

dating is a scary world

ive got pretty bad trust issues and struggle to truly open up

[mental yoke]

It can be, you never know who is next

[mental yoke]

LOL SAMEEE

[sage sluice]

i can yap my ass off but its really really difficult for me to let myself be vunerable anymore, i used to be more lenient with it but people put an end to that

[mental yoke]

Year I haven't dated in like a good year cause of her

But

I've been my happiest

[dusk knot]

Hm

[mental yoke]

With her she kinda twisted things onto me

[sage sluice]

i know too many manipulative people

[mental yoke]

Idk how but she'd always be the victim

[mental yoke]

Same, maybe I'm doomed into crazy girls

😭

[sage sluice]

maybe maybe, better than someone who doesnt have life in em, ive met some pretty empty surface level people

[rancid juniper]

Dating? What's that?

[mental yoke]

Idk what's worse

[sage sluice]

a majority of my friends growing up have been girls, and a lot of em were a bit more of the eccentric type

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[mental yoke]

Narcissists are the worst tbh

You're too young to know about it, son.

[rancid juniper]

Teach me

[sage sluice]

you just got sonned

damn

[mental yoke]

I want a country girl ngl, would love her till the end of time

[sage sluice]

i want someone who's emotionally mature and intelligent

but still sweet

[mental yoke]

I want a strong woman, who can be independent, intelligent, and cares about me and others

[dusk knot]

You see...when a man loves a woman very much....

[sage sluice]

jp this aint time for birds and bees

[mental yoke]

Which tends to be country women

NOT THE PARTY ONES THO

Learned that lesson

They're the crazy ones

[dusk knot]

🤣

[sage sluice]

ive found great people of all kinds of sorts, country, city, whatever

people at heart are what is important to me

[north crescent]

Young people tend to be rather immature, wouldnt really judge things for the rest of your life due to how young immature people act. Wait until like ~25 for the average person to be decently mature

[sage sluice]

someone who is receptive and sympathetic

[mental yoke]

Yeah you're right

I just want to meet someone that loves the stuff I do i guess

[sage sluice]

yeah i already know things will get better there as i get older, i just happened to be an early bud on maturity lol

[mental yoke]

And that's hard to find for me

[rancid juniper]

i see

[sage sluice]

i think whats important is someone who loves you enough to be willing to enjoy what you love

or try it

[mental yoke]

TRUEEE

[dusk knot]

He asks her out to get to know her....then...

[mental yoke]

I want that

That's even better ngl

That they try to love what you love

[rancid juniper]

and then!?!?!?

[sage sluice]

jp youre gonna lose some of your dad tokens at this rate

[mental yoke]

I've done that

[dusk knot]

😂

[dusk knot]

To be continued....

[rancid juniper]

lame

smh

[sage sluice]

its very important to return that as well, to give your time to their interests and passions

even if its just discussing it with them

[mental yoke]

Oh i do

TRUST ME

I try to go over even

[sage sluice]

people love feeling like theyre acknowledged and appreciated, thats a pretty big cornerstone for self confidence and a healthy relationship

[mental yoke]

But that's just me

[rancid juniper]

where the drama?
the action? @dusk knot 😳

find out next time on LIFE

[mental yoke]

I do that with anyone

as long as its real to you, definitely

[mental yoke]

I help out my grandpa with anything with his cabin because it's a lot of though to give to me someday

@rancid juniper actually no I just wanna ask the man a question

[rancid juniper]

oh

lol

[sage sluice]

i am being asked a question

[devout forum]

But Balou tell me
Do you happen to know if going higher than 6000 MT makes any difference with X3D chips

[sage sluice]

id love to be able to work on a cabin

[sage sluice]

i am the LAST person to ask that LMAO i have no idea

ive never touched or learned about x3d chips

[north crescent]

Just say yes. It was never asked if the difference is positive or negative

[mental yoke]

It's fun

[sage sluice]

other than like oo 3d v cache

[sage sluice]

yes

[mental yoke]

We run our water through a creek we have

[devout forum]

I mean I'd think it doesn't really cuz the Vcache does the heavy lifting

So I wouldn't think there's like big improvements to be had

[sage sluice]

id love to build a home with someone

im hesitant to say id want kids, but id be up for adoption

i dont want a kid getting stuck with my genetics, especially when there are already kids who need love

[north crescent]

I'd have to look into it for an actual answer, but it depends on dataset size of what is being worked on

[devout forum]

Wait using x3d for non-gaming?

What heresy is that?

[sage sluice]

black magic

[devout forum]

I'm approaching it from a streaming/video making perspective

Cuz that's what I'd be doing with my build once it's done

[mental yoke]

Ours is made completely out of 2 by 4s LMAO

[devout forum]

So that's what I'm looking at primarily

[sage sluice]

dedication lol

[north crescent]

Could def also apply to gaming, not as much ofc cuz not many large dataset things afaik (large meaning just being around L3 cache size).

[icy ore]

[devout forum]

I mean would I get benefits from getting faster ram with an X3D chip in games

[mental yoke]

Well he made it as cheap as he could, he used our barn wood for the supports, which is usually old growth wood beams

[devout forum]

Faster as in like 6800 cl36 instead of 6000 cl30

[wary orchid]

hi

is the 4060 good for 1440p gaming?

[north crescent]

Streaming should be not too affected, cuz GPU encode. Lot of streaming effects/scenes are a bit of a toll on CPU, but not much afaik when kept in moderation. Video editing is idk

[rancid juniper]

Can run games at 1440p not all, best for 1080p

[devout forum]

Traditional wisdom would say there's very little difference and the 6000 CL30 48gb is like a good 15% cheaper than the 6800 CL36 48 gb

[rancid juniper]

4070 minimum if you want 1440p

[wary orchid]

so for a 1k budget pc, whats a good gpu, preferably nvidia for 1440p

[wary orchid]

i checked for prebuilts on newegg but theyre above 1k with the 4070

[devout forum]

I'd go AMD actually

[sage sluice]

i wish i even had land to do stuff like that

as of now im not really in contact with majority of my family

[rancid juniper]

How much is RT important to you at 1440p?

[sweet phoenix]

I have been pinged

[wary orchid]

i heard theres problems for some amd gpus

[sage sluice]

ping

[wary orchid]

is that true

[rancid juniper]

Not anymore

[devout forum]

There's more problems for Nvidia ones rn lmao

[sweet phoenix]

^^

[devout forum]

But yes

A 7800 XT would be ideal for you

[sweet phoenix]

Gpus are oos everywhere

Get what you can

[sage sluice]

7800 XT is the golden egg of this series ngl

[devout forum]

It's the sweet spot for 1440p in performance to price rn (if you get a good price on it)

[glacial forum]

what is this

[rancid juniper]

Oh no

[devout forum]

Cuz it's like a rehashed 6800 XT lmao

Which is like goated with the swaws

the last 2 or 3 times ive downloaded drivers ive got this message

no

not at all

Make sure you get a nice monitor if you don't already have it
Maybe even go OLED

[sage sluice]

i love how theyre all free games and then just siege

[glacial forum]

interesting... well thank you for your help

[sage sluice]

oled? why not cut the price and get miniled

[lone mango]

I miss siege

[devout forum]

Eeeeh

The price cut isn't really that big

[sweet phoenix]

Oled and 7800xt don't go together price wise imo

[sage sluice]

not everyone needs oled lmao

[sweet phoenix]

Yes it is

[sage sluice]

miniled is pretty damn close

[sweet phoenix]

Its a third of the price most of the time

[dense locust]

Oled I love burn in

[devout forum]

AOC disagrees for QD-OLED

[sweet phoenix]

It's a $500 monitor :p

With a $500 gpu

[lone mango]

Just get a good ips and enjoy life

[devout forum]

HUB is torturing an OLED and it's doing just fine after a year

[sweet phoenix]

Mini led is $190-265

[sage sluice]

if you can snag a 350 oled for it maybe, but even thats a stretch

[devout forum]

Like it's actually worst case use

[sage sluice]

mini led for around 200 is amazing

ips is pretty good around 140 mark

[devout forum]

And it's holding up fine for the circumstances

If you actually use it sensibly it'll last a long time

[dense locust]

make a huge oled tv
dont cool it
tv burns in

[sage sluice]

also oled isnt for everyone either, miniled is way better for a brighter environment
