general-chat

[honest birch]

i ran all core occt on it with the 9600X doesnt even get hot so

[mortal grail]

That's a solid build

[honest birch]

id assume its the same tier as the $20 thermalrights and those are good

[mortal grail]

10/10

[mortal grail]

It's about there for am5

What matters more is it's under 20

You only need a basic one for this

[honest birch]

and i mean a 360mm aio is only $50, the aqua elite v4 has meh fans but the pump makes up for it

also after using this thermaltake case, its suprisingly high quality for $70

like id use this more often now

[mortal grail]

Thick metal?

[honest birch]

yeah the paint as well

its sturdy

[mortal grail]

Interesting

[honest birch]

the fans seem to be good as well

can fit a 360 in the top

[mortal grail]

The main reason I was cautious about that case is clearance

The top aio clearance seems specific

[honest birch]

i think only with thick rads

youd have an issue

like lf3

but any normal size rad id assume would be fine

[mortal grail]

Well I mean just looking at the board, bare with me a minute

Some boards have higher ram placement

So unless the aio and fans clear the board, it looks a bit sketch

At least from my take in pics

[honest birch]

i mean it is offset mounting like any other case so the aio wouldnt touch the vrm heatsink

[mortal grail]

Ohhhhh

Ok

So it does actually offset

The marketing pics never made it very clear about that

[honest birch]

like i mean the mounting holes up top, are closer to the glass of the case

if that makes sense

[mortal grail]

Yea

So you'd def clear with LP ram then

And possibly any ram in general

Ok that clears a lot up

Those were my two contention points for that over an XT view

[sweet phoenix]

View 270?

[mortal grail]

Ye that looks quite snug

[mortal grail]

Ye

[honest birch]

but still fits

[mortal grail]

The deltas are pretty close there

Those aren't tall sticks at the ends lol

[mortal grail]

So LP def fits

If I could see D4 deltas then I'd change my tune about tall sticks

If not adata xpgs

Or vcolor

[honest birch]

is corsair tall?

[mortal grail]

Ones like that

[mortal grail]

Doms are

[honest birch]

the rgb ones

[unreal trail]

everybody popping off at Switch 2 being 450 when the same clowns buying graphics cards from scalpers

[mortal grail]

Vengeance d5 not really

D4 kinda

[mortal grail]

D4 *pro

Rs and lpx not really

Ok it seems like it can

Tt rgb sticks are stupid tall

[honest birch]

There u go then

I would've assumed pretty much any stick would fit

[mortal grail]

It's something I'm wary about a lot now lol

Cos cases like the dan a3, fractal north, z20

I've looked at a lot of cases in my time where some boards have bad ram placement for the case to do top aio

Fractal north has a whole article on it

A lot of traditional atx cases in the past had this issue too if the* ram was too high

Cos like, imagine it this way

You build the pc, put the aio in

270 looking good

Then the ram doesn't fit

How do you fix that without replacing something

Makes it contentious to suggest in that situation and hence why I have until now always suggested view XT first

But since it does fit, I think I will recc it

Cos $10 more for a fishtank with good quality is worth suggesting

[fresh timber]

Too big

Go it

[mortal grail]

Go it?

[fresh timber]

Itx

[mortal grail]

Itx would look hella funny in that

Do wish TT software was better tho, the rgb is a bit jank

@idle nexus knows all about it rofl

[fresh timber]

More ram stability

[sinful blade]

What is this case

[proud jackal]

Oh god they announced switch 2

And cyberpunk 2077 will be on it

[mortal grail]

View 270

[unreal trail]

and Elden RIng

[mortal grail]

Ps2 graphics

[sinful blade]

How much price wise

[unreal trail]

yall just dont quit do you

[mortal grail]

70

[mortal grail]

Uh yeah cos the ampere chip in that switch 2 is not nearly enough

[storm narwhal]

Yeah it's like a 1080 at best isn't it

Or is it confirmed to be worse

[unreal trail]

we will see

[dense locust]

Elden ring 100% using dlss

[storm narwhal]

Every game using DLSS

[unreal trail]

JP likes DLSS

[dusk knot]

I do

[storm narwhal]

You just can't turn it off on the switch probably

[proud jackal]

Chat are we buying switch 2

[dusk knot]

When the OLED version releases

What's going on with my phone.

[dense locust]

World version $150 more than jp ver

[proud jackal]

Were scalping it right chat?

[mortal grail]

It's like 3/4 of a 1650 at best

[storm narwhal]

LMAO JESUS

[dusk knot]

Only you, theo

[storm narwhal]

It's so much worse than the rumors I've heard

[mortal grail]

1536 cuda

[dusk knot]

Weeeeaaaaakkk

A 1080ti would be ok

[mortal grail]

2050m is the lowest ampere sku I know at ~2056 cuda

And that's slower than 1650

It'll put it around 1050Ti level or higher just going off paper numbers

[honest birch]

Well i been doing this for awhile now so ik what to recommend for good prebuilts I can sell 😁
This one should be around $1k so literally way better than anything you could get in a prebuilt for that price, best I've seen was a 14400F and a 4060, using ddr4. Lmao

[dusk knot]

Switch 2 for games, not the horsepower

[mortal grail]

It shows

[honest birch]

I'm more into hardware/firmware but I'm knowledgeable about windows/linux and like any general apps

Software is just kinda boring to me

[mortal grail]

To be clear by the way this isn't terrible, series s isn't much better at around 1060 level iirc

[proud jackal]

Chat, were scalping them right?

Jk

Wonder when the oled come out

[mortal grail]

But if you're expecting any even reasonable cyberpunk graphics that's not happening

[dusk knot]

They'll be PT right?

[storm narwhal]

that's already the switch 1's MO

I really had my hopes up too high for nintendo

I was actually expecting like maybe 1080 performance but nope not even 3/4ths of a 1650

[mortal grail]

You have to wait and see cos paper spec doesn't apply as well to console

Cos optimisation brings out more fps than expected

[storm narwhal]

hmm

i'll believe it when i see it

[worn wave]

Optimization *plus aggressive upscaling

[dusk knot]

Terrible terrible

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah for sure

[storm narwhal]

upscale from 144p to 720p

[mortal grail]

The series S upscales too

It will be no stranger to it

[worn wave]

Isn't steam deck also 1050ti-ish?

[mortal grail]

Yes

[storm narwhal]

oh huh is it?

[mortal grail]

It's a little more

But pretty close

The newer 780m ones are like 1650 or a little more

890m bit more on top of that, as is current gen flagship phones

[storm narwhal]

yeah the 780m are a 1650 as far as I remember

[mortal grail]

So this isn't some revolutionary hardware at all, it's just parity for the market honestly

[storm narwhal]

hmm

I guess we will see then

[mortal grail]

In 10 years this tech gonna feel slow

[storm narwhal]

Should be a new steam deck within the next decade

won't be a new switch probably tho

[sinful blade]

I might actually get that then

Put it in my list

[mortal grail]

I'm amazed they're still opting for tegra

Like they would've been way more desirable if they did like a 4050m and ran it at 15w

Even half a 4050m

[storm narwhal]

Literally tho yeah like

that genuinely confuses me

why not just go with that

[mortal grail]

It's not even that big of a difference

But you'd get 60% more cuda

[storm narwhal]

It'd probably be easier to work with tho

yeah

[mortal grail]

Feel like a $500 switch 2 with a 4050m would've been such a free lunch for nintendo

That would've hosed the whole market

[storm narwhal]

it probs would have

nope, just pull a switch 1

[mortal grail]

Only strix point 395+ would beat it

[storm narwhal]

people ate that thing up for a decade

[mortal grail]

I'm curious what switch one cuda count is now lol

256 maxwell cuda

Vs 1536 ampere

That's actually a massive jump

6x the cores with 2 generations in between

So any switch game would run like 9x faster on switch 2

Around there

Pretty big, just sad how underwhelming it seems

[devout forum]

Heavily

Just as heavily as it'll rely on DLSS and FG to reach 30fps

[storm narwhal]

144p blob upscaled to 1280x800

[dusk knot]

Yuck

[storm narwhal]

with 3x FG

probably to reach 30fps

[rancid juniper]

thanks to nvidia technology they now have noise cancellation lol

[storm narwhal]

WAT

[rancid juniper]

yea

[storm narwhal]

?????

So like

for the mic?

or the speakers

[rancid juniper]

yep

mic

[storm narwhal]

Oh okay

okay that's fair I was about to be very confused if it was the speakers

[rancid juniper]

lol

[mortal grail]

It does both

[storm narwhal]

just like AH YES WE MADE NOISE CANCELLING

for the speakers

[rancid juniper]

both?

interesting

[storm narwhal]

NO WAYY

[mortal grail]

Broadcast works for both

[rancid juniper]

also 4k 60fps quality mode sounds fake

lmao

[storm narwhal]

well yeah but like

[mortal grail]

Have either of you ever actually opened broadcast before

Lmao

[storm narwhal]

I doubt they'll do it for the speakers

I have used broadcast for a while

[mortal grail]

It makes the audio sound like ass

It is available tho

[storm narwhal]

yeah over the speakers it just sounds kinda weird

[mortal grail]

But mic is the main one

Mic is genuinely good with broadcast lol

[storm narwhal]

oh yeah the mic is great

just sucks back some gpu

[rancid juniper]

nintendo with their own discord

bro the lag was funny

[storm narwhal]

if it lags on switch discord...

how's it gonna run while running a game bro

[rigid sinew]

good morning everyone

[rancid juniper]

the console prioritizes most resources on the game

and very little on those 4 streams

[rancid juniper]

morning

but seriously the screenshare is running like a slideshow

as expected tho from not so powerful hardware

lol

[north crescent]

Fun fact NoVideo has an RTX A400 (Ampere) at 768 SUs, 64bit mem bus, and 4GB VRAM

[rancid juniper]

nvidia wins at worst gpus to the top

[mortal grail]

TIL 768 ampere exists

[rancid juniper]

the switch 2 is gonna go really hot

[unreal trail]

thats why the dock has a fan inside it to provide more cooling

[restive yarrow]

If yall are gonna force us to buy a 9950x3d in a bundle at least give us something other than MOBO bundles…..

[unreal trail]

Im thinking about getting the console and upgrading BotW. Then wait for Donkey Kong.

[rancid juniper]

That new donkey kong game caught my interest

[unreal trail]

I can easily pass on 80 dollar Mario Kart

[mental yoke]

9950x3d and ribbon cable bundle plz

[sinful blade]

I don’t think any of us control that

[mental yoke]

its all ur fault

[honest birch]

Why did you make all the cpus bundled with motherboards

How could you do such a logical thing

How dare you

[sinful blade]

I’m SORRY

[sinful blade]

they put a gun to my head

I couldn’t stop

wait thats not cool

[sinful blade]

They just beat me

Punched my arms menacingly

[unreal trail]

Nintendo invented automatic gain control

[rancid juniper]

if people buy this then many more publishers will follow BRUH

[sinful blade]

i do not like mario kart much

i feel like ive already been payying 100 for games

[rancid juniper]

[honest birch]

For sure.

[mental yoke]

money isnt even the issue really its just the games suck

[honest birch]

I don't want to waste my money on garbage

Hopefully steam is our saving grace

[dusk knot]

Eighty dollars

[rancid juniper]

there are already runors that the console will launch around $449

🤢

[honest birch]

Bro

[dusk knot]

Funny how we would spend more money on GPU

[honest birch]

We spend as much money on gpus as some people's builds cost

[rancid juniper]

Real

[dusk knot]

Yeah

[unreal trail]

not rumor

[dusk knot]

I would say most of us here are PC enthusiasts.

[rancid juniper]

its NOT???

[honest birch]

For $449 you could build a faster pc and play switch games using emulation, though whatever switch 2 games and portability is gone.

[rancid juniper]

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

[dusk knot]

You really could

[honest birch]

Doesn't Nintendo online still cost a ton for no reason

[rancid juniper]

$20 a year

i think

[honest birch]

$20 a year for base, thought it was worse but u still have to pay so

[rancid juniper]

all online subscriptions for console is trash

PC ftw

but in a business standpoint its needed ig to keep em afloat

just selling units alone apparently isn't enough

[devout forum]

y'know what's funny?

[frigid stag]

You don’t need to pay for it unless it’s a paid game

[devout forum]

The end of taking a loss on hardware is over

[sinful blade]

@rancid juniper soon you’ll realize that Nintendo is a POS company with a very predatory monetary style

[frigid stag]

Free online games work fine on console

[rancid juniper]

no kidding

[devout forum]

Now they at least come out even on hardware and print pure profits on the software

[rancid juniper]

terrible business but great games/IP

Mostly

[fresh timber]

This lowwww taper fadeeee

[fresh timber]

I like ps5+

Just play online games on pc

Single player on ps5

[rancid juniper]

or just stick to pc in general

[fresh timber]

I have both ima use both

Frankly spiderman is better on console too, and console is 59x easier to travel with

[lone mango]

I bought a property in egypt and what they do for ya is they gibbodabobehty

[dusk knot]

Impossible. Just have a controller hooked up to your PC. Case closed

[fresh timber]

Pc is a lot bigger than ps5

[dusk knot]

And so? 🤔

[fresh timber]

Gotta have the itx premium to beat it, and that will cost more

[fresh timber]

Less portable

[sinful blade]

Just get a small case

[dusk knot]

Bingo

[fresh timber]

I bet it goin cost alot more

[dusk knot]

A nice micro ATX case with a handle

Will do

[fresh timber]

That’s.. still bigger

[dusk knot]

Not really

[fresh timber]

I have this and it’s still a pain

[fresh timber]

I can bring up the liters

[dusk knot]

Just get a better case

(lol)

[dusk knot]

It serves a purpose

It's fine

What issues do you have?

[fresh timber]

It’s. Easy to take but ps5 is a lot easier

[dusk knot]

Hm. It does have less wires

[fresh timber]

Yeah, pc you need power, hdmi/dp, keyboard mouse, ps5 needs power, hdmi and a controller charger

Not to mention a pc will weigh more than a ps5, thank the graphic card

[dusk knot]

Hm

Only 10 pounds

[fresh timber]

Then cost, a comparable pc will probably cost more

[dusk knot]

Ofc

[fresh timber]

Don’t even try ps5 pro

[dusk knot]

But it's worth it

[fresh timber]

Depends on you

[dusk knot]

I'm good

I just wait for those exclusives on PC

[mortal grail]

I've seen people make posts comparing gen 5 to 905p (even t700) and optane just completely decimates it

I couldn't know about rust, but frankly when it's night and day better in everything else...it should be better in rust too

[honest birch]

they only have gen4 anyway

[median frigate]

Send me the video

[honest birch]

p41 one of the best gen4 drives

[mortal grail]

Again I don't have a rust comparison

But like, there's too much to support the idea

This is quite literally the best way to think about it

Ram caching any game is fast af

[devout forum]

Isn't Optane like dead?

[mortal grail]

The problem with this suggestion is the 905p is literally like 7 or 8 years old now, so you're gonna be stuck to find someone using one in 2025 for a specific use case

[mortal grail]

Arguably the SSD is not likely to be the bottleneck

[lone mango]

Unrelated but google gemini helped me a lot with linux stuff

[median frigate]

What's up with bloatware

[devout forum]

I've seen people play Rust from a SATA SSD and get better frames than me lol

[mortal grail]

Rgb software, extra drivers, microsoft telemetry

All sorts of slow down crap

[lone mango]

Its junk that doesn’t really serve much of a purpose for you but is still installed on the pc

[median frigate]

Doesn't every ssd you use eventually gonna have that

[lone mango]

No

[devout forum]

Only the OS drive

[mortal grail]

Which in all honesty I said this earlier, makes way bigger difference to your load times keeping that down

[lone mango]

Rhats unrelated to the drive

[devout forum]

NGL

[mortal grail]

No, if you manage it well that never happens

[devout forum]

Having the game installed on a separate drive is gonna be more impactful than what that drive is

[lone mango]

Thats related to the os and if/how you take care of the bloat

[devout forum]

I don't believe a lot of bloat ware is connected to a separate game drive

[lone mango]

Yeah

[median frigate]

Do you guys separate your os on a diff drive

[mortal grail]

If you want the fastest speeds then a clean af install with no bloat on even a basic sata ssd will beat a bloated gen 5

[frigid stag]

Ye

[median frigate]

I've always used one drive for everything

[mortal grail]

Makes no difference

[devout forum]

That's how I run now
OS drive is OS and programs that I don't really care all that much about in terms of like loading times
And games go on a whole other SSD

[mortal grail]

If the service runs it slows the pc down

[fresh nova]

[devout forum]

In terms of parts

[mortal grail]

Ik, makes virtually no difference if you aren't overfilling the ssd

[fresh nova]

I definitely burned myself on that case with the dremel cutting it out

[lone mango]

I only did because I ran out of space on the primary drive. But honestly I think it wouldn’t matter much if you get a debloater

[median frigate]

I'm surprised no one has tested this stuff out for rust

[mortal grail]

There’s so much dust and cables everywhere, I really don’t want to open everything up

I might just duct tape it

[mortal grail]

Don't need to open forehead

Unless head empty

In which case

[lone mango]

What I don’t like about cases is that they don’t really take advantage of the smaller 2.5 form factor

[mortal grail]

More ssd spots

[frigid stag]

Nah the cpu is working

[lone mango]

Like they could have added a third mounting point in between the two man

11700K, APEX Motherboard, 32GB B-Die Ram, 1000W Gold, and 4070 FE

Pretty great stuff

Zero bottleneck

[lone mango]

Yeah thats what I used to do

[frigid stag]

It’s too expensive to let it just float in the air

I spent too much on this

[fresh nova]

I got a few hardware records with that motherboard on HWBOT

[mortal grail]

Shoulda bought more expensive air then smh

[frigid stag]

[proud jackal]

[frigid stag]

It would be too jank I mean

[mortal grail]

Not our problem ur cheap air can't sustain the ssd with anti gravity

[frigid stag]

I can just add delta fans

They’ll keep it afloat

[mortal grail]

Real

Now you're using brain

[frigid stag]

200iq truly

[lone mango]

Death

[mortal grail]

Imagine having enough vram to fit rust on

[lone mango]

Is rust that small

[mortal grail]

96gb is small?

Wat

[lone mango]

Oh I didnt see 96

[mortal grail]

Lol

[lone mango]

I only saw the $8000 5090 and died

[frigid stag]

96gb wtf

[lone mango]

I aged one year seeing that

[median frigate]

Bro games used to be 800mbs back in the day

😭

[mortal grail]

Dude I used to make lunch while it installed 800mb over 4 disks

[lone mango]

Rhat rtx pro is gonna melt more connectors

[frigid stag]

My first phone had the same amount of storage as my pc has ram

16gb storage went hard

[lone mango]

Rather than the 5090 being 575w that pro is 600w

[mortal grail]

My first phone had 500mb

Youngin

[lone mango]

Nvidia cant keep getting away with this

[lone mango]

My first phone had 12

[frigid stag]

Well first real phone. I was given some flip phone before “just in case”

[lone mango]

[frigid stag]

Based

[mortal grail]

My 4090 has 48x more storage than my first phone but my 4090 would only burn my house down

My nokia would rend the earth in 2 if dropped

[lone mango]

Overclocked 4090

[frigid stag]

Went from a dreamcast to a coffee lake pc 🗿

10000x the frame rate

[proud jackal]

🤔

[mortal grail]

That's right, I like to live dangerously

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

That magnitude 8 earthquake in thailand few days ago was someone dropping a box of old nokias

[frigid stag]

That tracks

Baseball huh

[mortal grail]

Yeah you wonder why the third world has many earthquakes

[lone mango]

Damn they need to be more careful

[mortal grail]

Nokia is also one of the biggest mobile phone brands by volume

[mortal grail]

I'm surprised it never became a licensed profession to carry them

[lone mango]

Third world stuff

[mortal grail]

The great thing about them is when they die you can just use them to build houses

[frigid stag]

The windows 8 phones

[mortal grail]

Windows held a funeral for the iphone when these came out

That lasted

Windows? Microsoft

Meh same thing

[frigid stag]

They could’ve kept making them and improving them

[mortal grail]

They got buried by the iphone

There was no coming back

[frigid stag]

iPhone was around for years back then iirc

They were popular in like 2014 ish

[mortal grail]

There were iphones in like 2007 lmao

[lone mango]

Windows phone sounds interesting

Never knew much about them

But idk seemed weird

When I first saw it

[frigid stag]

[mortal grail]

Neither did anyone else cos they held a funeral for the most popular phones at the time and promptly died moments later

[lone mango]

Windows arm computer

[frigid stag]

I mean the windows phone lol

[dense locust]

I hear people liked windows phone

[mortal grail]

I miss the original RP1

[dense locust]

Just software support was not there

[mortal grail]

You wanna ask me what the best android was

The original gaming phone was almost perfect

There were a lot of quirks about it, but the software on it

MAN

Perfect

RP1 OS was so sensible

[lone mango]

Can windows arm computers take calls since they have qualcomm socs

[frigid stag]

I don’t remember that one

[lone mango]

I think you can text with them

[mortal grail]

https://m.gsmarena.com/razer_phone-8923.php

[lone mango]

I forgot I kept ignoring them for years

[frigid stag]

Oh razer ye ik them

[mortal grail]

Razer's best product lasted like 2 years

I would even put this up amongst like their mice

The phone was so good

[mortal grail]

Depends if it has the 4g radio

[limber crane]

the same people who bought Zune's

[mortal grail]

Only downside was the usb-c was flimsy

[frigid stag]

And betamax

[mortal grail]

They added qi wireless to the 2nd gen with an audio jack that fixed it, but the 2nd one never took off

2nd gen fixed the flaws but was kinda mid at the time

[limber crane]

now it's hard to even think about music on a separate device, i still have a few ipods

[mortal grail]

My old ipod was 500mb

Lmfao

[frigid stag]

I mean since the iPhone came out I wondered what the point of an iPod was

[limber crane]

I had the red and black 'U2' edition, that thing sells for $150 on ebay now

[frigid stag]

It was like trial phone for kids

[frigid stag]

iPod touch to iPhone way

[mortal grail]

You paid a lot less for what killed the mp3 player

[frigid stag]

Ik I still have one somewhere

[limber crane]

in high school i had my ipod with my songs from limewire and my flip phone

[mortal grail]

Ipod touch was a nice af mp3 player that could play games and videos

It was a halfway house to iphone

[limber crane]

this is what we got for my step-kids when they were young

[frigid stag]

Mine was the regular

[mortal grail]

They were actually really nice

[frigid stag]

iPod touch was too expensive

[mortal grail]

Yeah but apple games bruv

Fruit ninja and peggle go hard

[frigid stag]

I wanted one, but my parents saw the prices and just decided “here’s a phone” instead

[mortal grail]

Man wish I had parents like that

[frigid stag]

Was so cheap at the time like 200 bucks

For an iPhone 5

It was same price as the iPod touch for some reason

[lone mango]

Sotru…

[mortal grail]

Anyone else remember the sunflower song from pvz

[lone mango]

I actually never played one

[mortal grail]

That's ok cos I forgot it anyway

[icy ore]

[frigid stag]

Penguin slide game went hard

And the motorcycle games

[lone mango]

I think old games just went hard

[mortal grail]

Temple run >>>>

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

[gentle canyon]

switch 2 makes me nervous cause that will prob set standard for new AAA games coming out at like 80-90 dollars just for standard edition

if gta6 standard edition drops at like 80+ that will likely solidify it tbh

[lone mango]

We love older games

We hate new games

Sweet bum solutions doesn’t even have the decency to cover shipping

[lone mango]

Get a bike and build an entire computer + monitor or pay some bum

[gentle canyon]

i will simply lowball 5090 on fb

1200 have it cleaned up by tonight im omw

[misty sparrow]

I have to say, I can’t believe Switch 2 is $450

[lone mango]

Im driving there right now

[lone mango]

What the hell

[misty sparrow]

I know Verge isn’t great, but

https://www.theverge.com/news/634603/nintendo-switch-2-price-release-date-details

$450 no game included, $499 with a Mario Kart game

PS5 digital was $400 right? And that came with a pack-in game

[sweet phoenix]

I thought ps5 was $500

[lone mango]

Yeah 400 or 450 and mine came with spiderman

[misty sparrow]

I thought that was the price for disc edition

[lone mango]

Yeah

Digital is cheaper

[mortal grail]

newegg media, coming soon

[misty sparrow]

you’d probably have to have speed hands to do it

it’s like the competition with the speed stack cups

I think Discord might finally be making some kind of effort to slow down the bots

What do I gotta do when I change over my boot drive

horse armor DLC for Switch 2 version

[acoustic palm]

When I take out my boot drive in my current pc and put it into my new one, what do I gotta do

[rancid juniper]

yar?

[misty sparrow]

how did we go from a whole decade plus of games being consistently $60, then increasing to $70 in 2020, and now $80 in 2025

What is the extra $20 contributing to

[fresh timber]

Reinstall windows

[rancid juniper]

1. inflation
2. possible tariffs (unconfirmed)
   @misty sparrow

[unreal trail]

Mario

[acoustic palm]

Damn

[fresh timber]

Want my secrete

[acoustic palm]

Yes

[rigid sinew]

no - we have them install the screws on the mb, install the psu , gpu and memory but thats it... they do have to make sure cables are connected but not all

[misty sparrow]

I can do everything except do PC cables good lord those are bad

[sinful blade]

Come to PA and I’ll maybe get something

[misty sparrow]

specifically the ones that connect to things on the motherboard

[rigid sinew]

if there are any events out there

[sinful blade]

Philly

Pitt

Lancaster

[rigid sinew]

yeah theres a whole list of rules

[sinful blade]

All big places with arenas and such

[misty sparrow]

roomba you’re in PA?

[sinful blade]

Yessir

[misty sparrow]

what’s a Philly cheesesteak and is it great

[sinful blade]

I don’t like steak, so I don’t have a dawg in the say

But from others, it’s very dependent on your taste of cheesesteaks

For lovers, it’s a good cheesesteak style

But for normal people, it’s just meh

If you ever have a question about PA, ask me

I’ve been everywhere in it

[misty sparrow]

I’ve never had a cheesesteak

[sinful blade]

Good style to start with is Philly or New York style

[misty sparrow]

Don’t think they do stuff like that at Subway or Jimmy John’s

[sinful blade]

Not properly

Make it yourself

It’s better that way

https://natashaskitchen.com/philly-cheesesteak/

[misty sparrow]

There’s a problem, I can’t cook

I don’t know how to cook

[sinful blade]

Take the time to learn
It may be more expensive sometimes, but you’ll get much more flavorful and natural meals

This was meant to be an April Fool’s idea but looking at it now

[hoary zodiac]

Bro is having a crisis over an april fools joke

You should be bold

This is me:
"His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty, Francis Joseph I, by the Grace of God Emperor of Austria, King of Germany, King of Hungary, Bohemia, Lombardy–Venetia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Illyria, Serbia, Cumania, Bulgaria, Italy, Rama, Romania, King of Jerusalem, etc. etc.; Archduke of Austria; Grand Duke of Tuscany; Duke of Lorraine, Salzburg, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola and Bukovina; Grand Prince of Transylvania, Margrave of Moravia; Duke of Upper and Lower Silesia, of Modena, Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla, of Auschwitz and Zator, of Teschen, Friaul, Ragusa and Zara and Teck; Princely Count of Habsburg and Tyrol, of Kyburg, Gorizia and Gradisca; Prince of Trento and Brixen; Margrave of Upper and Lower Lusatia, Istria; Count of Hohenems, Feldkirch, Bregenz, Sonnenberg, etc. etc.; Lord of Trieste, of Cattaro and on the Windic March; Grand Voivode of the Voivodeship of Serbia, etc. etc."

Why should I be bold when this is who I am

[acoustic palm]

And a like 40% tax on stuff from china

[acoustic palm]

I would imagine building a pc won’t be reasonable for years

[frigid stag]

Why

[acoustic palm]

Taxes

“Tariffs”

[frigid stag]

Didn’t they have those in 2020 as well?

20% iirc

Came into effect like 2021

[sinful blade]

Much more controlled and only temporary iirc

[sweet phoenix]

A trade war with a specific country vs blanket tarrifs

Evga is a good brand tho
