i think i can actually time people out lol

i get the bot prompt

will make good use of it versus those random bot link accounts

[craggy shoal]

I wish you could fit more characters on a custom license plate so you can do sudo rm -fr /* and delete the SQL server when you run through a tollway

[sage sluice]

my mom got charged for a 2 dollar toll that wasnt even operating in florida

that bill is now about 6 thousand dollars

[craggy shoal]

Bruh WHAT

[sage sluice]

she still has never payed it

[craggy shoal]

Tolls are a scam anyways. You're telling me I'm being taxed for a road that I’m already being taxed for? It's like a tax's tax bruh

[sage sluice]

life is a scam

breathe? 20 bucks hand it over

water? give me your wallet

break a tooth? entire inheritance

[craggy shoal]

Bruh heaven forbid I die 😭💀

[sage sluice]

you die? death tax

[sinful blade]

Don’t die

[craggy shoal]

Bruh fr

[sinful blade]

I need you to bully me

[craggy shoal]

lol

[sage sluice]

god would i like to have a fraction of what tax collectors pull off individuals let alone hundreds of millions

[velvet summit]

Some roads are privately owned

That doesn't make it less of a scam but some roads just aren't publicly funded

[worn wave]

At least where I live, tolls are either privately owned or they're for things like specific bridges that need more maintenance (or maybe it's a privately owned bridge idk

[sage sluice]

bridge tolls are the worst

[opaque sedge]

Its gotta do with the companies who cover the cost for construction right and the state pays the dues off with tolls?

[sage sluice]

ah yep bridges

[velvet summit]

Bridge trolls

[sage sluice]

publicly owned

[sage sluice]

i thought about saying that ngl

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[craggy shoal]

I drive from Houston to Austin every two weeks. Why is there a portion of highway 290 on a toll. That’s a public freeway lol

[velvet summit]

I mean.... All bridges need maintenance or they'll eventually collapse from lack of maintenance

Also this is one of the big reasons why if society collapses

It will be very hard to get back up and running

Because nearly everything in society needs periodic maintenance

[proud jackal]

[velvet summit]

The equipment required for maintaining bridges requires maintenance

And the equipment to maintain the maintenance equipment also needs a bit of maintenance

Though less important, especially for hand tools

You can use a rusty spanner

[sinful blade]

[velvet summit]

You can't use a motor or engine if it's seized though

[craggy shoal]

The Romans built bridges that repair themselves when it rains

Source: (idk it's been a while since I learned that but the info is out there somewhere)

[sage sluice]

dont use a motor

[craggy shoal]

Yeah fr

[sage sluice]

that is true, the difference is those bridges cant handle cars

[devout forum]

Allegedly their self-repairing concrete has been recreated

[sage sluice]

i mean their self healing concrete's formula is simple enough

was just a natural resource for them lol

[devout forum]

(It was not a simple formula)

Pretty sure it wasn't easy to recreate anyway

[sage sluice]

well i didnt mean literally simple 😭

i meant for what they had it wasnt too difficult for them to reproduce it consistently

after you know how to do it that is

[rancid juniper]

hmmmmmm, pass

[craggy shoal]

Wow what a deal

[sage sluice]

which is why it was used in pretty much ALL their concrete

[sage sluice]

2 dollars and 50 cents saved? pass

[rancid juniper]

need that game to be under $30, probably might take like a year tho

[sage sluice]

60 dollar is already a price point i hate

70 just aint it

[rancid juniper]

rip monolith

[sage sluice]

especially for unfinished games

[rancid juniper]

fr

[sage sluice]

the discount let you buy that

[rancid juniper]

i cant understand spending that much for a video game

[fresh timber]

hi

[rancid juniper]

i spent $40 on one game and thought it was too much but it was around launch

[fresh timber]

hello poopie

@craggy shoal poopie butt

[craggy shoal]

Hello smelly

[sage sluice]

i aleady feel gross just owning this game

[rancid juniper]

lol no way XD, imma bet that it was part of your GPU deal

[sage sluice]

overpriced garbage

[sage sluice]

the only reason i feel anyone owns this game loll

[rancid juniper]

when i got my 7800xt i was bundled with calisto protocol and something else

[sage sluice]

i wouldnt pay more than 20 bucks for this and thats a stretch

[rancid juniper]

oh, dead island 2

yea

[sage sluice]

i wouldve loved that

[fresh timber]

I never got my starfield

[rancid juniper]

what?

[sage sluice]

i got space marine 2 tho so cant complain entirely

[sage sluice]

you wouldve had to redeem it on the website

[rancid juniper]

nice

SM2 is a great game

[icy ore]

[fresh timber]

My gpu bundled with starfield

But I never got it

[sage sluice]

it gets boring after you do the same thing for 10 hours

[icy ore]

Yeah super Mario 2 was really fun

[sage sluice]

but its some good fun if you have buds

[rancid juniper]

did you follow the instructions to obtain the code?

[rancid juniper]

me who don't nintendo: "yes of course"

[sage sluice]

unfortunately nobody i know even has a pc that could tolerate space marine lol

[fresh timber]

Their was no instructions

😦

[sage sluice]

thats my friend that is

[fresh timber]

Microcenter forgot about me

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[sage sluice]

evil micro

destroy

[rancid juniper]

when newegg sent me my gpu they gave the codes and instructions to AMD's site

[sage sluice]

i bought my gre off amazon

i got emailed it

[rancid juniper]

yep

[fresh timber]

Am I the only one who physically bought a gpu

[sage sluice]

me when microcenter aint exactly close to me

[rancid juniper]

probably

FH5 PS5

[fresh timber]

I cought one

[rancid juniper]

man still wild that XBOX's biggest IP is on playstation

now, send it to switch 2 aswell

lol

[fresh timber]

I bought PlayStation cause it’s superior

[sage sluice]

playstation better give me little big planet and bloodborne or im going to commit fraud

[rancid juniper]

i see

[sage sluice]

notch's*

i wish

if only it was never sold to micro.. i cant say that here lmao

[rancid juniper]

lol

[velvet summit]

It was mainly a side effect of poorly mixed concrete
The concrete had pockets of unreacted concrete, so if a crack forms, and it rains, it adds moisture to cure the concrete again

[rancid juniper]

little big planet is dead and bloodborne is more possible on pc

[sage sluice]

they let my boy die 😔

[velvet summit]

Modern concrete is alot more stronger than Roman concrete

Especially with modern materials

Like fiberglass

[sage sluice]

hence why i said "that bridge aint holding up to cars now"

[velvet summit]

Roman era cars be like

[sage sluice]

horse power

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/the-flintstones-cruising-fred-flintstone-car-gif-16792882

[sage sluice]

1 horse power, maybe 2 if youre extra wealthy

[velvet summit]

But horses have more horse power

[sage sluice]

how many horse powers is in a horses horse power horse power power horse power horse?

[velvet summit]

Pcmr moment

https://www.rxddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/8hT1sovDt7

[sage sluice]

oh no

best advice for unexperienced builders; if you dont know what youre doing, pretend itll explode if you arent careful

[velvet summit]

I mean

That doesn't work for the cpu

[sage sluice]

it does, because you should figure out what youre supposed to do first. even if that means putting a lot of pressure on the clamp

[velvet summit]

I guess

Though the cpu bracket does kinda feel like you're gonna break the board

[sage sluice]

yeah but thats why you ask first

"hey is this supposed to be difficult to close?"

or even just "i think my cpu is too big/wont fit" should be enough to let other people help you

[velvet summit]

[sage sluice]

got this email, guessing its prep for the switch 2's release

[pliant berry]

see I got this email too except that I don't remember ever having a nintendo account

[fresh timber]

Installing lga1700 is easy

Remove default llm, place cpu, contact plate, doke

Am4 feels like ima break it

[idle nexus]

Lol ya I'm glad CPUs don't have pins anymore

[fresh timber]

Bro

I had to fix pins twice

I had to fix my 2300x pins and 5500 pins

It’s annoying

Mf pins bent removing cooler

Am4 is such a bad design

[sage sluice]

odd

do you have a switch?

[pliant berry]

no I don't xD

[sage sluice]

lmao hm

maybe someone else used your email

[fresh timber]

I hate the switch

[sage sluice]

somehow

[fresh timber]

I don’t even use mines

And can’t even run the games I like good

[idle nexus]

everytime I removed the CPU block, the CPU would come out with it lmao

[sage sluice]

i play smash, the only thing keeping me bound to that hellhole

[pliant berry]

I have steam deck and that's close enough to switch

[sage sluice]

and even smash online is pitiful performance

[idle nexus]

mechnical pencil lol

[fresh timber]

Now I attempt to wiggle it, but my cooler just hits its standoffs

[fresh timber]

I used a razor lol

Super easy ngl

[sage sluice]

i hate that im in the competitive scene lol

[devout forum]

NGL

[fresh timber]

Just stick razer into cpu and wiggle and the pins bend enough to be installed

[devout forum]

I'm more than a little stumped

[sage sluice]

🌲

[idle nexus]

with the mechanical pencil you just slide the pin into where the graphite goes

[devout forum]

I'm not sure if a 6700 XT would be able to do 4k 60 with medium/low settings

[fresh timber]

It can

[idle nexus]

lol I use razors for things I probably shouldn't like that too sometimes ngl

[devout forum]

(the idea is to have an ultrabook-eGPU setup instead of a console)

[sage sluice]

Glad i havent had to fix pins (yet)

[devout forum]

Though I'd potentially need to get a used team green GPU

Cuz drivers between Intel and AMD will be a pain

[fresh timber]

I was cutting the callous on my feet with a razor lmfaooo

[devout forum]

Maybe a 3080?

[fresh timber]

I stopped when I could feel it

[devout forum]

That can def do it

And do a better than console experience

[idle nexus]

you gotta get one of those mini cheese grater things lol

ngl they're mildly terrifying to me https://www.amazon.com/Colossal-Professional-Scrubber-Pedicure-Stainless/dp/B07R334MTG

[dense locust]

what is this chat rn

[devout forum]

No idea

[sage sluice]

Im scarred after i saw a gif of an indian guy cutting the dead skin off his foot with a knife

[devout forum]

I'm trying to plan my upgrade path/figure out whether I should go ultrabook with eGPU or a proper gaming laptop

[sage sluice]

Literally makes me feel pukey even thinking about it

[fresh timber]

Oooo

[proud jackal]

Use sandpaper

Or powertool

[fresh timber]

Too slow

[fresh timber]

Ngl a dermal sanding down my foot would work good

[sage sluice]

Look up "foot shave" in gif search if youre brave 😭

[devout forum]

I can go either:
-Ultrabook + 3080 Ti eGPU
-Gaming laptop with a 4080
-Ally X + 3080 Ti eGPU

[sage sluice]

Price?

[devout forum]

Heck if I know

[idle nexus]

Ally is pretty cool ngl

I had my nephew's for like 2 weeks

[devout forum]

I could use the Ally to take notes on technically...

16" portable display and wireless keeb+mouse

[idle nexus]

I didn't really use it but I did reinstall windows 11 on it cuz it was his dad's & he forgot the password

[devout forum]

I COULD sell it as a "study tool"

Wouldn't that be funny tho

[idle nexus]

The only obviously annoying thing is it's designed to be used with ArmouryCrape

[devout forum]

Even tho an AMD GPU would go better with an Ally

Only one display driver suite

[idle nexus]

Get an MSI Claw so you can be unique & waste money lmao

[devout forum]

While the ultrabook would likely benefit from Nvidia graphics (155H is pretty good)

[devout forum]

It's got the 155H right?

Same as the ultrabook would

Not to mention the ultrabook already has a but in 4050 (tho that won't service a 1600p display)

[idle nexus]

You may want to wait a little unless those newer APUs AMD had at computex are already available

[devout forum]

It's just a theory crafting thing

[idle nexus]

My nephew's had the zl extreme or whatever it's called

Also, get a screen protector for sure lol

[devout forum]

Of course

[idle nexus]

His had a scratch & it was so sad to me

[devout forum]

But ye

[idle nexus]

Like noooooo

[devout forum]

It's weird how a handheld console is like a legitimate Windows laptop

That can actually do all the things any other Windows PC can (technically)

[idle nexus]

Ya it's basically a laptop with on-screen keyboard

[devout forum]

It feels so versatile (though it's definitely far from perfect)

[idle nexus]

To reinstall windows I had to connect a keyboard

Luckily I had this adapter thing that came with one of my Samsung phones but I think a small USB c dock would work

[devout forum]

Cuz my idea is that I'd want one device (to compliment my desktop setup at home) that I can use for taking notes in class and bring to work, connect it to a TV and game in off time

[opaque sedge]

The higher end model seems to be a beast for a handheld tho but its almost a grand lol

[idle nexus]

Oh um not sure ally would be best for notes unless you're gonna lug around a keyboard too

[devout forum]

Now the difficulty with an Ally X comes in at the taking notes in class
I'd def need a 16" portable monitor, wireless keeb and mouse to make it work

[opaque sedge]

Cheaper gaming laptop and steam deck

[devout forum]

Ew

[velvet summit]

another colour change 🧐

[devout forum]

I'm not going steam deck

[opaque sedge]

The oled deck is fantastic

[devout forum]

I don't care how good it is

I want a device that can be use for class too

ONE device.

[sinful blade]

Some specific techie roles

[devout forum]

That's like my schtick
Desktop at home and ONE other device

[opaque sedge]

Easy to repair and add mods too for example joystick replacements and face buttons too but that can get a bit tedious but its mostly solder free

[devout forum]

Again

Wouldn't be able to go note taking

[rigid sinew]

trying to make it so its easier to ask for help

[devout forum]

So it's already out

[opaque sedge]

The new asus rog tablet with the new ryzen apu but thats overpriced as heck for a regular person ig

[sage sluice]

Why yall grating yalls feet

[devout forum]

Z13 is cool
But yeah that's really expensive

[sage sluice]

Icky

[devout forum]

Though...

[velvet summit]

seasoning for pasta

[sage sluice]

Perish

Immediately

[devout forum]

It technically fits all categories

[velvet summit]

[devout forum]

Does it game?

[opaque sedge]

Yeah its subtly targeted towards people who can use it for “ai” cuz of the massive amounts of basically assignable vram

But advertised for gaming

Actually its in the name of the chip itself lol

[devout forum]

Oh it's a 395 now

[opaque sedge]

As well as a 4060/4070mobile

[devout forum]

Hmmmmmmm

[fresh timber]

Id opt for a z2 extreme device

[devout forum]

4070 mobile could potentially do console-tier 4k or high refresh rate 1440p right?

[opaque sedge]

I would wait for reviews and stuff tho cuz its technically a first gen product

[devout forum]

I'm aware

It's just a thought

[sage sluice]

My brain melted, why does newegg sell this lmao

[devout forum]

It does kind of fit all the criteria

[opaque sedge]

Isnt console 4k mostly upscaling nowadays

[sage sluice]

If the photo would send

[devout forum]

Which is weird I never thought I'd end up with a tablet

But that thought is definitely valid

[opaque sedge]

Actually tablet reminds me

Pretty sure there is a onex player handheld that is basically a tablet cuz its so huge

And is a grand i think

But hx370 and 890m graphics

Which is prolly lackluster

https://youtu.be/hj1CWvnGkJI?si=WcscgtnONy5iDDIp

Found it

Doesn’t seem to have a keeb tho

[devout forum]

Is it Windows?

Also damn
I wish the X13 still existed and got the hardware if the new Z13

Flow X13 was pretty much perfect for my needs

[opaque sedge]

And yeah its a lot of hundies damn

[opaque sedge]

Yup other than the steam deck and the upcoming steam os legion go s all other handhelds are mostly windows

Except some android based ones

[devout forum]

Also the Z13 doesn't seem to have Nvidia graphics listed anywhere

[opaque sedge]

Goddammit i hate it when companies sell essential stuff as accessories

[opaque sedge]

Yeah the ai max 395 one is just the apu

Since the igpu alr performs as well as a discrete graphics

[devout forum]

I guess it can do like light gaming even without an eGPU

But not go really buck wild

[opaque sedge]

hey everyone, is there a channel you guys might want to add?

[opaque sedge]

Really hate the dude used so much upscaling in most of his benchmarks here

[balmy solstice]

me probably

[devout forum]

Lemme guess it cannot drive the display at native res in games

[proud jackal]

Anime channel #2

Newegg Shuffle

[balmy solstice]

a news channel

[proud jackal]

[balmy solstice]

for pc related news

[idle nexus]

Crypto lol

[opaque sedge]

Seems to be the case

[devout forum]

At that point I'm back to the eGPU solution

And then I might as well get a cheaper 2in1 ultrabook

[balmy solstice]

also make a wegg Twitter channel, since you already have a channel for YouTube and ig posts

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/haha-gumichan-bird-no-laughing-gif-5128531988218293677

[devout forum]

Cuz let's be real if you already go with an eGPU
You might as well have a proper CPU that can take advantage of it

[balmy solstice]

would you need to directly connect an egpu to your power supply

[opaque sedge]

“Ai” seems to be the new crypto companies have alr started providing hardware at a “cheap price for this use case specifically” which are prolly gonna be stacked like those gpu mining rigs

[devout forum]

And the ultrabook does have a 4050 in it for stuff (so you MIGHT) be able to play older games

[balmy solstice]

ai is not advanced enough to be upselling products this much

[devout forum]

@opaque sedge would you say a mobile 4050 can play games at 1080p?

Probably not but worth asking

[sinful blade]

I’d like to see peripherals and monitor/tv put into one, since they serve the semi-same purpose

[opaque sedge]

Foxy has a 4050 laptop

[devout forum]

Wait really?

[opaque sedge]

Yeah

Its his main rig i believe

[sinful blade]

Rename gamecrate news to “gaming news”

[icy ore]

Gotta say there’s a lot of channels here I never use but glad we have them. I just have mine narrowed down to a few of the ones I care about lol

[devout forum]

@elfin mural how is your laptop 4050? Good enough for 1080p?

[idle nexus]

I'm jk

[devout forum]

Cuz if it is
It might be able to balanced upscale to display res

[opaque sedge]

Could make a troubleshooting chat since a lot of new people come here asking for tech support but dont seem to understand going to build chat for it

[balmy solstice]

or make a ticket system for it

[sinful blade]

Imma start up and downvoting ideas I like and don’t agree with

[opaque sedge]

Or rename build chat into smth like “pc build and troubleshoot” but thats prolly too long

[balmy solstice]

if 3 people are tryna get help for different things in a single chat, isn't that gonna be chaotic

[sinful blade]

We do it here and in build chat often

[icy ore]

Yup

[balmy solstice]

🤔

[opaque sedge]

When motor is absent ofc

[balmy solstice]

if you like it i love it ig

[opaque sedge]

[sinful blade]

I’ll be helping a guy with a build, then lhs will be helping with a keyboard choice or something, and Felix will be talking about his time in the opera house

[icy ore]

[opaque sedge]

We are the memes

[sinful blade]

I’m just glad we don’t have a politics chat

[dusk knot]

better animation is wat happened

😔

[opaque sedge]

Yeah its stacked with features for 60 bucks but it only supports connections to pc and android rn i believe

[icy ore]

It looks like the croods

Do not like

[balmy solstice]

does it have back buttons?

[opaque sedge]

So its a no to switch and other consoles without an adapter

[sinful blade]

@rigid sinew
Peripherals/accessories/monitors/tvs chat all in one
Rename gamecrate news
Make a Wegg Socials channel
Dedicated troubleshooting channel(so we don’t use build chat for it)

All the current suggestions

[balmy solstice]

gyro is nice

wish xbox did gyro in their elite controllers

[opaque sedge]

2 paddle shaped back buttons and two extra shoulder bumpers all 4 are remappable

[balmy solstice]

nice

[dusk knot]

i dont either

[opaque sedge]

4 back buttons and 2 shoulder buttons would have been elite would never have to make different profiles for different games ever

[balmy solstice]

me sitting here after paying $180 for my elite series 2

[opaque sedge]

And it started drifting soon

[balmy solstice]

manual tension changing

[balmy solstice]

not yet

but one of the triggers broke

3 weeks to fix for some reason

[opaque sedge]

Honestly drift reminds me with these magnetic sticks the controller is prolly gonna get worn out before the joystick modules themselves lol

Gamesir is gonna release a controller soon with a similar featureset and that one might be a good overall durable controller cuz i believe it has a swappable face plate which means you can easily replace worn sticks and the plate

Controller market finally becoming comparable to the kbm market

[balmy solstice]

the only thing that makes it comparable to the kbm market is the back paddles imo

custom mapping to match that of a custom mapped keyboard

now we need more keys and we'll be playing the piano

[opaque sedge]

Oh nah the thing is until very recently if u wanted all these extra features on a controller you would have to pay copius amounts of money for it only for it to end up being bad quality or have other caveats

Yk like the elite controllers

And other premium third part ones

These new controllers are bringing a nice change

[cosmic rover]

I just paid £20 for a new boxed 3600x and £100 for a new boxed 2060super msi only brought the 2060 super till my 5080 comes 🤣🤣 ended up snapping two bargains up

I mean good deal right ?

[balmy solstice]

the boy ain't that bad I swear D: he just got outdated pricing. he just needs an update with some gyro and he'll be good as new

[elfin mural]

yes

just don't max games out

and lower your expectations

[sinful blade]

Good enough for me

[proud jackal]

Expensive space heater

[sinful blade]

I wouldn’t mind a 2060 super for $100

[elfin mural]

a power limited 4050 can still game

but it won't be amazing

but liveable

[proud jackal]

I got GPUS for sale

[balmy solstice]

and keeps the fam warm in the winter

[elfin mural]

i have 140w config however

[sinful blade]

Whatcha got

[elfin mural]

so it's got all the power it needs for my case

(too much actually, draws 95w worst case)

[cosmic rover]

I mean I brought it as a temporary gpu

[proud jackal]

#rules

[balmy solstice]

wowwwww

baiting

[devout forum]

It'd live in a 2.8k displayed ultrabook

So that's gonna push the limits even with balanced upscaling

[elfin mural]

I'm an expert at baiting

[elfin mural]

this is what a 45w performs

vs 140w

that's a 3060 but

[balmy solstice]

one could say, a master

[elfin mural]

close enough

[devout forum]

Again
Balanced upscaling is the plan

[elfin mural]

ya that's the play

i run native 1080p

lowered graphical settings+upscaling

and you'll be just fine with 60+ fps

[proud jackal]

[elfin mural]

expect 10-20 fps defecit

at 1080p vs 140w 4050

80? deduct it by 20 and you got your value

it seems pretty consistent too

[dusk knot]

theo still has no 5090. something is truly wrong with the world.

[elfin mural]

but with laptops.. cpu also matters a lot

you can have a 75w 4050 laptop run faster just because the cpu is faster

[balmy solstice]

yk, like pokemon master

[elfin mural]

confusing as all hell indeed

[balmy solstice]

ash's dream...

laptop cpu's built different

[elfin mural]

https://youtu.be/-QpMHatI4oE

they are all so closely performing

in gpu bound scenarios

in cpu bound? obv it's wildly different cuz of different cpus

different laptop models and brands even

is wooting considered like the best gaming keyboard?

[dusk knot]

🤔

[elfin mural]

it's because of the hall effect switches

[dusk knot]

not bad ig

[elfin mural]

[rancid juniper]

Gamakay has a hall effect tk75

[elfin mural]

how about the sw?

[lone mango]

And its the same price as the normal one I bought 1.5 years ago

[lone mango]

What

[elfin mural]

software

[lone mango]

Oh its aight

I havent updated it but I also dont have the kb

[elfin mural]

does it have a browser based control panel tho :p

zero bloat

just run it on ur browser

[lone mango]

Its pretty light

Like there are no animations

really basic gui

[elfin mural]

wooting still wins because it has web based sw

but fair

it's much cheaper too

[pliant berry]

web based is so much better, idk why no one has done it before

[lone mango]

How much is their 75%

[elfin mural]

wooting also has this lil thing

[lone mango]

Wow they have a v2 of both the normal and he version

[elfin mural]

fitted with the hall effects

[dusk knot]

Hm

[velvet summit]

OSU player board

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

marketed towards osu players

yeup

[velvet summit]

Wow

My guess was right

💀

Normally the OSU boards are just 2 keys though

[elfin mural]

rgb version

well it's more versatile

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

you can turn it into a macropad

[lone mango]

Let me catch my son buying this

it looks cute

[lone mango]

Wooting 80he is $200

[elfin mural]

oof

200

[frigid stag]

Get the belt

[lone mango]

60% is 175

[frigid stag]

Wtf 175 for half a keyboard

[lone mango]

I can buy two almost silent gamakay boards for that

[frigid stag]

But no fr, there’s a lot of competitors

[lone mango]

Nah barebones is 140

[frigid stag]

Ace68 for 40 bucks 🗿

[lone mango]

Still a lot tho

[frigid stag]

You basically have a better wooting for cheap

[velvet summit]

3 whole macros
Maybe 6

[frigid stag]

It’s slightly better in some ways

[elfin mural]

6

the 3 pink keys are digital and they work

[frigid stag]

What’s the main keyboard though

[velvet summit]

What would they even be used for in osu

[elfin mural]

quick controls

restart, exit

all that jazz

[velvet summit]

That makes sense

[lone mango]

rgb is $50

[velvet summit]

Dedicated rage quit button

[elfin mural]

yes

[velvet summit]

Very important for OSU players

[opaque sedge]

I think im gonna return these didn’t like em much

[elfin mural]

b and w

bleh

[velvet summit]

They need a logo designer

[opaque sedge]

Yeah initially got em for the price

[elfin mural]

the logo looks

generic as hell

they need a designer

[opaque sedge]

They dont sound impressive nor amazing on anything other than soft rock

[velvet summit]

They really put their name on the product in like arial or however you spell that font

[elfin mural]

they should use comic sans

When you somehow cook up something so bad that even FL had enough

[opaque sedge]

@elfin mural do you have any wireless anc headphone recs

[elfin mural]

budget?

[opaque sedge]

250 usd

[elfin mural]

tbh id go for anker soundcore

[opaque sedge]

Interesting thought those sucked for sound quality

[frigid stag]

Do they NEED to be wireless

[elfin mural]

some are great

check rtings

[velvet summit]

Focal Bathys Wireless
Only 700 dollars

[opaque sedge]

Its for use outside of home thats why

[velvet summit]

Very cheap

[frigid stag]

“Only”

[lone mango]

This doesnt have their switches but this is the same price as the osu ragequit board
https://a.co/d/fuH0llo

[elfin mural]

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/noise-cancelling-headphones-under-100

how the hell is razer in HERE

im surprised

[frigid stag]

W razer

[velvet summit]

"yeah these are my budget headphones, they sound alright at best"

[frigid stag]

They’re improving

[elfin mural]

razer actually doing decent audio

that's nice

[frigid stag]

I tried one razer headset a few years ago. The comfort is 100% there

Don’t remember if the sound was good

[opaque sedge]

Guess i’m going to costco early morning tomorrow to return em

[velvet summit]

I've tried so many ANC headphones and still somehow Bose is still the one with the best anc out of any I've tried in terms of comfort (the pressure feeling from ANC)

My soundcore q45 is also kinda decent at best but still get the annoying pressure, and I've also tried demos of like the xm5 and such and they all just don't feel great with anc on

[frigid stag]

I’m thinking of getting some dt770s but probably going to need an amp and DAC for them

[elfin mural]

the razer also has bt

versatile little budget anc headphone

[hoary zodiac]

Wait really?

Razer making something decent that's not a mouse?

[frigid stag]

They had good headsets before

Like blackshark pro

[lone mango]

Damn the tk75 v2 has nice rgb

[elfin mural]

they still do sometimes

[nocturne flicker]

They must've copied the design

[lone mango]

Also has a tiny screen

[elfin mural]

@opaque sedge find soundcore q45

it's rated pretty high for outdoor use

$99 on amazon

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/anker/soundcore-space-q45-wireless

no longer $99 unfortunately

[sinful blade]

All in one socials channel would be nice instead of having multiple channels to check

Peripherals and Accessories

Gaming/industy news

[fresh timber]

what if we used forums for build list and support, allowing multiply conversations with out flooding a single chatr

[hoary zodiac]

eh

[rigid sinew]

idk if thats possible but ill ask forks

and can you shorten the channel name more?

[hoary zodiac]

I think #building-and-recc-chat is fine as it is

[fresh timber]

something like this is fire

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe we just need a second channel for overflow

[sinful blade]

Those are a nightmare on mobile

[balmy solstice]

^

[fresh timber]

it looks fine on mobile wdym

[sinful blade]

Gimme a few minutes to get home and I’ll elaborate

[fresh timber]

im on my phone rn what about it sucks

iv had more glitches on destktop kek

[balmy solstice]

looks fine on tablet tho

what version of discord you using

beta and canary are bound to be glitchy

[lone mango]

Wow this is even quieter than the first one

[balmy solstice]

discord is always buggy for me on mobile anywho

[lone mango]

Its not just a refresh its actually different

[balmy solstice]

back in my day, we had keyboard that woke up the neighbor's dog

[lone mango]

And thats the tactile one too

[balmy solstice]

its not like it used to be

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

discord mobile in general sucks

[sage sluice]

Might also be nice to have a #off-topic channel as well since that leads to a bit more variety in conversation and overall activity

[hoary zodiac]

I mean isn't that #general-chat already

[sage sluice]

No

[lone mango]

3 color changes

[rigid sinew]

i think that sould be general chat

[sage sluice]

General chat is where 30 people are yapping at once

[rigid sinew]

so what are you suggesting

[sage sluice]

Even like a general-chat-2, it tones down the chaos a bit

[fresh timber]

fr

[sage sluice]

Spreads out conversations so people arent talking over each other

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I think sometimes the issue we have is capacity

[fresh timber]

sometimes its annoying when ur having two diffrent conversations in one chat

let us make threads

[rigid sinew]

hmmm i think thats a little much

[hoary zodiac]

Like sometimes there's multiple support threads in #building-and-recc-chat

[rigid sinew]

no threads, you dont get to request stuff ur borderline no role

[balmy solstice]

its not really that busy in here unless theres an @ everyone

[sage sluice]

Maybe its worth trying out? If its a bad implementation it takes two seconds to remove. Your choice tho ofc

[fresh timber]

I must match this energy

[balmy solstice]

do i get to suggest things

[rigid sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/he-man-gif-18501881

[sage sluice]

Ill give you a rock

[fresh timber]

im also stubborn

[balmy solstice]

i got a 3ds with pokemon platinum

[rigid sinew]

lets me ask the mods

[sage sluice]

His name is Pebble

[balmy solstice]

i will love him and treat him as my child

[hoary zodiac]

Having an overflow chat for #building-and-recc-chat might be a decent idea

However

[sage sluice]

That kind of gets into the niche id say

[hoary zodiac]

It's only chaotic some of the time

[sage sluice]

I think just a gen 2 would be nice

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

[sage sluice]

We dont want too many channels

[hoary zodiac]

I'd say #general-chat is only as flooded as #building-and-recc-chat is on average

[fresh timber]

what if we direct discussions that have a chat dedicated for that topc.. to that channel

[craggy shoal]

Three help channels in a different category? Not the greatest solution but I’m throwing the idea out there

[sage sluice]

But giving gen a chance to breathe or giving people a chance to talk in a dif channel

[lone mango]

What the hell

[fresh timber]

enforce keeping topics in their dedicated channels would fix it

[lone mango]

Must be a conversion bug

[hoary zodiac]

Honestly the tech support thing is situational

Because a lot of the times you can go to #windows-ios or #peripherals-and-displays or whatever

For specific help

[balmy solstice]

atp just make a ticketing system that creates channels for problems

[craggy shoal]

Honestly would be cool

[hoary zodiac]

Bureaucracy 💀

[craggy shoal]

I think there are bots for that lol

[balmy solstice]

there are

lots of servers use it

[hoary zodiac]

That's the most bureaucraticpilled thing I've heard

[velvet summit]

I want threads specifically on build pics, so we can comment on images without filling the channel with text
Restrict it to like master+ roles

[misty sparrow]

Did I get here at a bad time

[hoary zodiac]

Nah

Join in on the suggestions

[craggy shoal]

Have a category that’s just the help channels and then people who join the server specifically for help can select their role that limits them to that category

[hoary zodiac]

I don't think that's an issue

I mean it does have it merits

[balmy solstice]

it all still seems disorganized

[hoary zodiac]

It makes it easier for them to navigate

I'd say something more like

[fresh timber]

real

[hoary zodiac]

A welcoming bot

That asks what they need before they get access to channels

[fresh timber]

so onboarding

discord has that built in

[hoary zodiac]

Then the bot directs them to the right channel

[craggy shoal]

Yes this

[velvet summit]

Or like
Discord onboarding?

[hoary zodiac]

Hm?

[velvet summit]

Discord has a feature for new members to select what channels they want to see

[opaque sedge]

Man the anc wireless headphone market is pretty dumb ngl reminds me of the controller market upto a certain pricepoint they’re all mid and ur gonna have e to go to a pretty high end option for an all rounder

[velvet summit]

New ish

Existed for a few years now

[fresh timber]

i like how i say something, get ignroed, somebody els says the same thing and it gets traction

[balmy solstice]

looks like this

[hoary zodiac]

That could work

No significant changes required

[craggy shoal]

I’ve joined a few servers recently that have this. It's super nice and it declutters the channels idc about

[balmy solstice]

ditto

some changes discord has made for the good

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I think this is a pretty good idea

[lone mango]

Fabric optimization mods

[hoary zodiac]

Install sodium on newegg

[craggy shoal]

Fabric but for Discord

[balmy solstice]

use scissors optimization mods

✂️

[hoary zodiac]

What if we add the sore mod

[craggy shoal]

nutt (it's my dream car)

[lone mango]

Went so hard I used it for the thumbnail

[sage sluice]

[hoary zodiac]

[hoary zodiac]

Is it a launch

Or a paper launch

[icy ore]

Ahh

[balmy solstice]

amd lunch

been hungry for good gpu

[sweet phoenix]

They said they were delaying launch to stock up on launch day gpus

[sage sluice]

This is why i think a second gen channel would be nice lol

[sweet phoenix]

So let's hope

[fresh timber]

i need to work on my mods, i have a mod disabled because it keeps crashing when i break blocks

[dense locust]

What mod crashes when breaking blocks

[hoary zodiac]

Do you have the sand curse

No I don’t

[craggy shoal]

Oh yeah 5500 now

[fresh timber]

Pretty sure it’s Saturn ngl

Yeah it’s Saturn

[fresh timber]

Also wrong gpu

[craggy shoal]

What GPU are you using?

[fresh timber]

Rx6600

[craggy shoal]

Same difference lol

[empty tide]

I don't know why, but this is something I like doing in forza horizon games. Drive somewhere, take some desktop background screenshots

[fresh timber]

I wanna upgrade it to a 7700xt anf main rig to something like a 3080ti thats 12gb right

[lone mango]

Why if its a server

[frigid stag]

Depends what server

[lone mango]

Hosting things

Atm mc server

[frigid stag]

Might be media encoding or something

[lone mango]

Imo would be more cost effective to use an apu

[hoary zodiac]

What about an intel cpu?

That way you get QSV

[lone mango]

He is on am4

[hoary zodiac]

He?

Oh am I missing context

Nvm

💀

[lone mango]

Computer Upgrade Kings I think right

Oh yeah literally says

[velvet summit]

Say the acronym as one word

[lone mango]

[north crescent]

Note that generally APUs kinda perf a gen behind. So that 5300g is likely around 3300x perf or smth

[frigid stag]

💀

[fresh timber]

Cause

It runs windows

I use hyperv

Proxmox is too.. sensitive to gpu nonsense

[sweet phoenix]

5700g would make sense for a server

[fresh timber]

I almost went for the 5700 ngl

[lone mango]

Yeah after looking more the 5 or 7 is better

[hoary zodiac]

I wonder tho

what about intel

[lone mango]

I mean the 5300 is super cheap tho

[hoary zodiac]

ok

here's a hypothetical scenario

[lone mango]

$65 on amazon is crazy

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

are there any applications that can make use of DDR5 at 6000+MHz

[fresh timber]

If you try hard enough yeah

[hoary zodiac]

or rather

will benefit from it

[fresh timber]

My friend uses his server for rendering his photo editing nonsense, it will use all 48 threads he has

[north crescent]

Is GPU needed? I would tbh recommend non monolithic AM4 for better perf/value (non APU), depending on what's needed you may only need a GPU for setup then just remote in afterwards.

[fresh timber]

Gpu fire

I be gaming on it too

[hoary zodiac]

I don't think we should be posting them

[sweet phoenix]

valid

[lone mango]

I have heard of 9 anime before

[hoary zodiac]

If it's legal yeah

[sweet phoenix]

it is not

thats why i deleted

[hoary zodiac]

but the sites in a more legally grey area

no

[worthy meteor]

bunch of them got shut down a while ago

[sweet phoenix]

its still up

i use it

[worthy meteor]

it's a different one from before

[balmy solstice]

never used anime sites

[worthy meteor]

different provider

[sweet phoenix]

ahh

[hoary zodiac]

the only anime I watched was pokemon

[balmy solstice]

always used funimation until......the reckoning

[velvet summit]

in terms of legal sites, crunchroll probably has the most variety

but even amazon prime includes anime nowadays

[worthy meteor]

I believe the new one doesn't have as big of a catalogue as the old one

[lone mango]

I remember there being like 3 different kissanime domains but I think those guys are gone

[sweet phoenix]

i wasn't big into anime until the last few years

[sturdy pivot]
