general-chat

[crimson scroll]

Because fallout my fav game franchise

[lone mango]

Pretty good to be honest, wish more games were like this

Its gonna run better if they remove denuvo a couple years later though

[crimson scroll]

Plus ive never played starfield

[potent dune]

it's behind that

[lone mango]

Not by much but still

[crimson scroll]

Did your nvme come with a heatsink on top of it?

Or just a sticker

[potent dune]

that bit ontop of it just had a sticker

[crimson scroll]

Nice

[potent dune]

also the sticker on the ssd, I keep it on right,

?

[crimson scroll]

Yes

[nocturne flicker]

It was garbage

[potent dune]

okay good bc I was gonna peek it but then it looked too thick to be trash

[nocturne flicker]

And it is going to be the standard going forward

[crimson scroll]

Im ngl idc what u think

[nocturne flicker]

Because Bethesda is incompetent

[crimson scroll]

Fo5 will be good

[nocturne flicker]

I said the same thing about Fallout 4

[crimson scroll]

Hopefully its not another fo76 tho 😞

[nocturne flicker]

And I got an incompetent story masked with decent gameplay

[crimson scroll]

Yea and it happens to be my favorite game of all time

[potent dune]

I'll show cable management the now

[crimson scroll]

The story is the best part

[crimson scroll]

You can if you want

[nocturne flicker]

The story is absolute dog

[crimson scroll]

Not really

Could be better in some parts

But its still very good

[crimson scroll]

Nice

[potent dune]

should I just keep it loke that

[crimson scroll]

Yes

You dont have much

So

[nocturne flicker]

The story is an inverse of Fallout 3. The writing is terrible, most of the characters are poorly written and the 'twist' is dumb and makes no sense

[potent dune]

this the back

[crimson scroll]

Idk what the twist is

[lone mango]

Flip those two fans

[potent dune]

average 'stuff everything into the basement' moment

[potent dune]

I have 3 intake fans, that's how the case came

[crimson scroll]

Mines the same way

[lone mango]

Its not bad at all

[crimson scroll]

Bro has no exhaust fams

[potent dune]

2 exhaust and 1 intake would create negative pressure which is bad for the pc is it not

[potent dune]

bru fr

[lone mango]

Thats 3 exhaust you have rn

[crimson scroll]

Could be reverse blade

[nocturne flicker]

The twist is hur dur your son isn't a baby anymore and he conspired an entire convoluted plan that endangered you and gas lit you in many ways in order to prove you are worthy of taking over the Institute

[lone mango]

Its not reverse blade

[crimson scroll]

SPOILERS

nah jk

Ive played it like 8 times

[crimson scroll]

Yea i hated that part tbh

[potent dune]

no bc when I booted the pc first time without the panels it was pulling air into the pc from all the fans

[crimson scroll]

Get a paper towel

Hold it to the fan

If it gets sucked in it’s exhaust

[potent dune]

the 2 fans at the back are reverse fans(whatever that does) and the one at the side isn't reverse

[crimson scroll]

If it gets blown awya its intake

Wait i said it backwards

[potent dune]

which side? at the back or inside the case

[crimson scroll]

Id say the inside

[lone mango]

Oh when you zoom in they are reverse nvm

[crimson scroll]

Your fine

They wre infact reverse

[nocturne flicker]

Also the factions are all terrible and there is no depth in your choices

[lone mango]

Couldn’t tell because no shadow on the blades

[crimson scroll]

I didnt even dee that it said they are

[potent dune]

okay 2 mins lemme just plug everything in then

[crimson scroll]

Your fine

Theyr reverse

[potent dune]

so they're intake

[crimson scroll]

Eh

[potent dune]

?

[crimson scroll]

In a way

[lone mango]

Yeah forget about it

[crimson scroll]

Like

[lone mango]

You’re good

[crimson scroll]

Once you join theres really nothing else to do story wise

[potent dune]

wait 2 intake 1 exhaust, I just googled it

[lone mango]

Yup

[crimson scroll]

Yea thats kinda the standard for 3 fans

I use all 3 intake tho

[lone mango]

Thats what yoy have rn

[potent dune]

the 2 reverse fans are intake

[crimson scroll]

Max rpm

[lone mango]

Yes

[potent dune]

ima judt keep it how it is

[lone mango]

Yup and enjoy it

[potent dune]

okay

[nocturne flicker]

The Railroad is a bunch of children playing at being smart adults running a super secret organization, the Institute are egotistical short sighted morons because why not, they forcefully reverted everything they did to the Brotherhood and made Maxon a Gary Stu in order to appease the older fans and the Minutemen are a joke

[lone mango]

[potent dune]

chat time to boot pc up for the first time with all the parts in🔥

[crimson scroll]

Is this a 12vhpwr cable?

The quality is ass ik blame facebook

[lone mango]

Looks like one yeah

[crimson scroll]

Thanks

[nocturne flicker]

And then in order to try and make up for the fact that the extent of the evil karma choices in the game being a demand for money, they made an entire DLC where you just become a raider

[acoustic palm]

Yes

[lone mango]

The other end looks identical and you can see the useless sense pins cover the thumb a little bit

[crimson scroll]

Which one? I have them all

[nocturne flicker]

Nuka World

[crimson scroll]

Fallout 4 goty FTE baby

[crimson scroll]

I lvoed that doc

BUT YK WHAT I HATED?!?!?!?

I HATED THAT THE SETTLERS ASKED YOU TO TURN THE POWER ON TO FREE THEM KR WHATEVER

WELL

YOU CAN

BUT THEY DONT GET FREED!!!!

😡😡😡

Its been a while since i played it tho i have it on my xbox

[nocturne flicker]

I stopped playing the dlc within a couple of missions, so I dunno. I just hated the entire premise

[frigid stag]

Ah L

(I don’t know this game)

[nocturne flicker]

Fallout 4

[crimson scroll]

Fallout 4

Play it

Its very food

[frigid stag]

Oh I have

[crimson scroll]

Good

[frigid stag]

It’s pretty good

[crimson scroll]

Yea

2v1 wearu

Weary you loose

Game engine sucks thooo so many bugs so many crashes

[nocturne flicker]

Hur dur 2 people like a game I like so now you lose. What is this a Kindergarten?

[potent dune]

bruh i dont think my hdmi cable finna reach now bc it's gonna connect to gpu and not mb😭😭😭

[crimson scroll]

Are you using cable that came with monitor?

Always use cable that came with monitor

[potent dune]

uh I am not nope

[crimson scroll]

Get it

[potent dune]

I will do that the now

it's js bc i ordered the newest hdmi cable bc idk if the one thst it came with is the newest

[crimson scroll]

Sometimes

Other hdmi cables

Like if the monitor is say 180hz

[potent dune]

it infact is

[crimson scroll]

More than likely the cable you have isnt 180hz capable

The one that comes with the monitor is

[potent dune]

ohh okok

[crimson scroll]

You can always order one

[nocturne flicker]

I've put 400hrs into the game. I wouldn'tve played it if it was terrible no matter what. It is just that vanilla gameplay doesn't make up for the fact that everything around that gameplay wasn't good.

[crimson scroll]

I have 2 uears worrh of hours

Somewhere around there

For pc 10 hours i just started

The game is reslly good

[nocturne flicker]

Mods salvaged it.

[crimson scroll]

I just hate how theres so many bugs

[potent dune]

'high speed hdmi cable with ethernet' wtf does that mean? the HDMI has built in ethernet or what bruh tf

[crimson scroll]

I literally fell thru the subway floor and almost died trying to save nick valentine(survived and STILL killed the raiders im the goat ik)

[crimson scroll]

I have no ide

[potent dune]

me neither..

[crimson scroll]

Maybe some routers use hdmi

I have no clue

Just use the one that came with the monitor lol

[potent dune]

yeah that's the one lmao

[crimson scroll]

Yea great use ot

[potent dune]

also came with a DP cable

[crimson scroll]

Sweet

What monitor u have

[crimson scroll]

Use dp

Dp better than hdmi

[potent dune]

acer nitro ed240q 180hz

[crimson scroll]

Yea nvm

[potent dune]

hdmi?

[crimson scroll]

That probably cost a kidney

Use the dp cord

[potent dune]

£100 at currys like a year ago not even

[crimson scroll]

Wow im shocked

[potent dune]

okay

[potent dune]

I was aswell tbf bruh, I don't see any websites talk about the monitor tho, I've never had issues with it and it seems sweet af

[crimson scroll]

Which one yours

[crimson scroll]

I have a packardbell

Not sure which one

[potent dune]

not a clue what that is never heard of it

[crimson scroll]

@nocturne flicker what you think abt fallout NV

[potent dune]

how is DP better than HDMI btw

[crimson scroll]

One of the first to make monitors

[crimson scroll]

It just is

Pretty sure the latest dp version is better than the latest hdmi

[potent dune]

okay

[potent dune]

ah

[velvet summit]

Bruh it's gonna rain almost all week

[worthy meteor]

DP generally has more bandwidth in the same generation relative to hdmi

[potent dune]

ah okok

[nocturne flicker]

It is superior to 3 in every way except more bugs. Compared to 4 the gameplay is clunky and rough but that is easily fixable with the work the modding community has done. It has the best story and writing of any of the Open World RPG Fallouts

[crimson scroll]

Nv is alright I haven’t finished playing it i played for like a week or 2 straight

[potent dune]

alr pc all connected up

[crimson scroll]

Hate the mechanics

[potent dune]

time to get windows

[crimson scroll]

Nice

[crimson scroll]

I like the look and fell of fallout R

4

[worthy meteor]

honestly I didn't see many bugs in nv compared to any other fallout game

what did you run into?

[nocturne flicker]

Dude, the base game can literally ctd after a fresh install, New Vegas has never been a clean bugfree experience

[worthy meteor]

It can but I never ran into it with a stock fresh copy of fnv from steam

I had a couple of softlocks but way less than fo3 and fo4

[potent dune]

I'll show yall the setup once the RGB and everything is set up

[crimson scroll]

I hate how the guns get destoryed after you shoot a bit

Thats the most annoying part

[crimson scroll]

Ive never ran into a single bug single glitch single crash in my entire playthrougj

[worthy meteor]

better than just modding a singular pistol once in fo4 and never having to use another weapon lol

[nocturne flicker]

I hate how your guns never receive any damage whatsoever in FO4

[crimson scroll]

Fo4 the best

[crimson scroll]

Wow

[worthy meteor]

fo4 gunplay just doesn't feel right

[crimson scroll]

The guns getting damaged are the worst part of nv

[worthy meteor]

it's like shooting wet paper balls at sponges

[nocturne flicker]

It makes it so that acquiring extra copies of guns have little to no value besides the caps

[crimson scroll]

On Pc if i shoot my gun at someone it most of the time it doesnt even hit the person

[nocturne flicker]

Meanwhile having multiples in NV and 3 have value as you can use them to repair your guns

It adds an extra layer to inventory and equipment management to make playing more interesting

You can't rely on a single weapon forever because it'll eventually break without upkeep

Meanwhile you can play Fallout 4 the entire time with the 10mm you pickup at the start

[crimson scroll]

Thats what i like

[potent dune]

i accept their software terms right @crimson scroll

[worthy meteor]

although the best piece of armor in 3 ends up being the one piece of power armor that doesn't take damage lmao

[crimson scroll]

Yes

[potent dune]

okok

yeah I read their thousands of words in 2 seconds chat

ssd is plugged in correctly as it shows up to what disc to install it to

it's an 'unallocated space' tho it says

what do I do abt that

just still select it?

[lone mango]

You doing windows install?

[potent dune]

yes

just started installing

[crimson scroll]

His firsr pc

[lone mango]

Yeah clikc that

[potent dune]

okok

[potent dune]

yes indeed

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LwfDXR le build if ur wondering

budget was 900 to 1k

[lone mango]

Its gonna allocate that unallocated space towards the windows installation

[potent dune]

okay

25% complete already tf

38

[crimson scroll]

Its fast on nvme

[potent dune]

ah makes sense

thought I was special😞😞

[crimson scroll]

Lol nah

[lone mango]

Let us know when it says lets get you connected to a network

[potent dune]

plugs in ethernet cable

[lone mango]

28? Thought it would be more

[rancid juniper]

https://www.tomshardware.com/software/msi-preps-web-based-rgb-controls-so-you-dont-have-to-install-bloatware-on-your-pc

[lone mango]

Cloud owned

[rancid juniper]

still, good for AMD

[lone mango]

Yeah

Basically been up nonstop

[potent dune]

a what now

black and red or black and purple for rgb chat whst u think

[nocturne flicker]

And I think it is a silly simplification designed purely to dumb down the gameplay. If I wanted to play a simple shooter, I'll go and play CoD or Battlefield, I want something more than take gun use gun forever in an RPG

[potent dune]

do i use ethernet or nah?

[crimson scroll]

If u want to

Dont have to

[worn wave]

If you can, it will have better latency than wireless

[potent dune]

a lot better or just slightly

tbf I'll end up testing it in a game anyways

pc has wifi antennas rn so

2 of them

[worn wave]

Depends on how good your wifi is

[potent dune]

433mbps when i go to properties of it on my phone

[north crescent]

Which depends on a lot of factors, not all of which you can control. Ingestion, house interference, etc

[worn wave]

Yup

[potent dune]

speedtest ookla on phone with a few tabs open and multiple devices connected to wifi 300mbps download

[lone mango]

Yeah my speeds on my desktop are a little slower than what my phone or laptop can get and thats because of interference and its location as well

[potent dune]

23ms

[worn wave]

You'll need to do a ping test on the PC not your phone

[crimson scroll]

@nocturne flicker 👎

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

[potent dune]

I'll do that once it all set up

[north crescent]

You want consistency. WiFi isnt that usually

[potent dune]

well ethernet it is

i do NOT enjoy lag spikes

[north crescent]

But also usually good enough to not be pain

It really depends on people who live near you, house design, WAP (router usually), WiFi antennas, etc

[crimson scroll]

J*b 🥀

[potent dune]

should I get an aux extender thing? my headphones cable isn't exactly that long so when I sit up and have it connected to my pc it starts to have tension on it

they're only a few pounds

[crimson scroll]

Get a wifi bluetooth adapter

Or just bluetooth

Use bluetooth headphones

[north crescent]

BT audio usually has like 250ms - 450ms latency lol

[potent dune]

all bluetooth headphones I've had have kinda trash mics

[crimson scroll]

Who cares

[potent dune]

should I just get an extender thing

like I can get a 3m one for £3

[crimson scroll]

Its 2025 use bluetooth

[potent dune]

nuhuh I like my headset

hyperx cloud 3

[north crescent]

Anyone who plays games, watches movies/shows/etc, does audio production, etc?

[crimson scroll]

They not important

Better pic is this a 12v?

[potent dune]

should I grt the extender thing then @north crescent

[lone mango]

Yeah that is

[crimson scroll]

Great

[north crescent]

Your 14900k/4090 is less important lol

[crimson scroll]

Nuhuh

Boooooo bluetooth supremacy!!!!

✊✊

[lone mango]

For mice yeah

For other stuff tho

[potent dune]

banns

[lone mango]

nah

[crimson scroll]

Bluetooth headphones always

[potent dune]

bananas*

[potent dune]

ong for gym only

[crimson scroll]

@fresh timber back me up gng

[crimson scroll]

For everything

I use it for my phone and pc

[potent dune]

I do have really good wireless earbuds I could use but ima stick with wired for rn

[north crescent]

Longer cables carrying analog signals (audio cables) means more signal loss (lower volume) and more interference (more "white" noise) unless you have a balanced cable (different cable type, not worth g etting for you). So just dont go for a cable that is longer than what you need

[lone mango]

Oh wait my bad what the hell was I thinking

I was thinking 2.4, yes

[potent dune]

okay so i got the shortest one I could (30cm) and thst will be like perfect

[crimson scroll]

Hes clming to bring me it

[potent dune]

do i say no to all the location, find my device stuff?

[crimson scroll]

Yes

[lone mango]

Thought he already did

[potent dune]

okok

[crimson scroll]

Free

[potent dune]

required only diagnostic data?

[crimson scroll]

Jk i dont own it

[crimson scroll]

No

[frigid stag]

Lul

[crimson scroll]

Say no to everything

[potent dune]

it's either required only or option stuff too

[crimson scroll]

Just say no to everything bro

None of that is important

[potent dune]

im yelling no at my pc

it isn't listening

[crimson scroll]

What are you struggling with

[north crescent]

Cut off your ear and attach to PC, maybe it'll listen once it has an ear

[potent dune]

I'm setting up windows and it'd asking for diagnostic data required only or optional aswell

i just put required only

[potent dune]

I'm now deaf in my toes

[crimson scroll]

Irs not important

Just for bsods and crashes and other bugs

[potent dune]

ah

ts is restoring my old laptops stuff like passwords and that bruh ain't no way they didn't give me a choice

[north crescent]

Mild data mining on your private data basically

[potent dune]

😭😭

well guys ill see you once someone pays the ransom microsoft will want for me back🔥🔥

[crimson scroll]

@nocturne flicker what do you think the win12 requirements will be, im thinking 13700 and 16gb ddr5 lol

[north crescent]

Not like user identifiable stuff is sent tho

[potent dune]

Ninite to download all the apps i want at once right?

[north crescent]

Unless you enable Windows Recall

[potent dune]

okok

[north crescent]

-# Dont ever enable Windows Recall

[crimson scroll]

Already told him

[crimson scroll]

What this

[potent dune]

I'm skipping everything I can🔥

[north crescent]

Timelapse recording of your screen basically

[potent dune]

5gb of free storage??😭😭 hell nah

[crimson scroll]

I HEARD ABT RHAT

YES!!!!

That made me so mad

Luckily its only for laptops

So i heard

[potent dune]

gigabyte control center getting insta installed is a W

time to debloat this fricker

[lone mango]

Double the ram

[velvet summit]

More of a L

[crimson scroll]

Probably

Shoud be release this year or 2027 at latest

[potent dune]

nuhuh I had an option and said yes bc W

[velvet summit]

Oh

If it gave you the option then that's fine

If it just automatically installed it without asking then that would be a big L

[crimson scroll]

Dont need to

Just see how it runs first

Try gaming and stuff

[potent dune]

ima debloat it anyways

bc its got allat solitaire and sheet on it

[lone mango]

[crimson scroll]

Yall messed with his head

[lone mango]

No he is doing the right thing

[nocturne flicker]

If we are being serious, the same tier of TPM, 1-2 more gb of ram

[crimson scroll]

What do tou think cpu wise?

[lone mango]

Arbitrary tpm 4.0 requirement to stimulate more upgrades and profit

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe 4 cores

[potent dune]

how long does the raphi debloat script take to do its thing? I done the "quick method"

[crimson scroll]

What cpu i mean

[lone mango]

They are pretty quick

[crimson scroll]

What generation

[lone mango]

Shouldnt be long, like maybe a minute or two or something close to that

[potent dune]

I mean like to pop up that it's doing it

[lone mango]

Oh like a progress bar? Estimated time remaining? idk

I think it just shows all the tasks its doing and thats it

[velvet summit]

Like 3 mins, 5 mins max in my experience depending on how slow your drive is and what you are removing

[crimson scroll]

He has a quick nvme

[nocturne flicker]

80-90gb storage. CPU gen, maybe bumped up to Intel 10th gen

[lone mango]

Yeah that sounds more like it

[potent dune]

ah it's working now

[nocturne flicker]

Windows 11 already cuts off at 8th gen for official support

[lone mango]

Absolutely ridiculous but likely true

[fresh timber]

Chat

9070xt may be possible

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

But I don’t want it

[lone mango]

[potent dune]

how do I know if it's done? the powershell tab which opened has now closed

[crimson scroll]

Doesnt it lose to 7900xtx oe whatever

[potent dune]

but it doesn't say anything

[opaque sedge]

Yeah this game is totally gonna go on the most played on deck list in steam just like mhwilds even those the deck barely gets sub 30 frames on it with upscaling… 💀

https://youtu.be/f8Q5yrILOew?si=8nkTTIAj6A3NGylD

[lone mango]

On average, barely yeah

[crimson scroll]

I heard it lost by a good bit

[lone mango]

Its not much

[crimson scroll]

Ah

[lone mango]

Its like in between the xt and xtx but

[crimson scroll]

Is there a 5090 thats bigger than the 4090?

Or did gpu sizes go down

[lone mango]

But its closer to the xtx

Sometimes it even beats it

[crimson scroll]

I like mine big, makes it look powerful

[opaque sedge]

Tbh… based

[potent dune]

uh is it done or

[crimson scroll]

Bro got a virus

[lone mango]

I would say they are roughly the same size if you average it out. Maybe some are even bigger

[crimson scroll]

Brand new pc and he has a virus already

Nah im messing with u @potent dune

Thats pretty normal

It gets bad when it pops up randomly

[potent dune]

okok

is it done then or

[crimson scroll]

I dont know

[opaque sedge]

I’ll take it off your hands in that case

[potent dune]

the debloat

[crimson scroll]

Never did rhat before

[potent dune]

shucks

@velvet summit

[crimson scroll]

Sometimes cracked games also do that windows script thing

[lone mango]

Well it shows system32 which means it is waiting for an input from you to put in

[crimson scroll]

And for some reason asus software does

[lone mango]

Looks like its done

[potent dune]

I'll run it again??🔥

maybe I was meant to press smth and I didnt

[lone mango]

No

[crimson scroll]

I would assume it to be keyless/automatic

[potent dune]

okok

[crimson scroll]

The most removed thing is xbox game bar

Press windows key and search xbox

If it doesnt show up id assume the debloat worked

[crimson scroll]

And microsoft edhe

Lol

[lone mango]

Edge will eventually be reinstalled

[crimson scroll]

Why

[lone mango]

From updates

[crimson scroll]

It sucks

Oh

[potent dune]

shows up 'xbox' as an app but no gamevar

[lone mango]

Yeah

[crimson scroll]

Can you click xboxv

[worn wave]

Nah edge is a goated PDF viewer

[potent dune]

it has not worked I pressed win+G and it opened game bar

[crimson scroll]

Its super annoying

Chrome is easier

[crimson scroll]

Damn

[potent dune]

time to run it again??

[crimson scroll]

Dude

Listeni

You DONT need debloat

Your totally fine

[worn wave]

I haven't used chrome in a long time but I don't think it has better PDF editing than edge

[potent dune]

okay chat

I'll trust

[worn wave]

Eh, nice to have

[crimson scroll]

I use chrome for web browsing and moderate pirating

[frigid stag]

It’s the same to me

[potent dune]

should I use windows sonic for headphones for spatial sound btw

[crimson scroll]

Im sure chrome knows every bit of my personal data though

[worn wave]

Chrome for browsing bruh 💀💀 give all your data to google

[crimson scroll]

HAHA ik

[frigid stag]

Just use librewolf

[crimson scroll]

I just like the ease of the browserr

[potent dune]

also what do I do now that I have windows? what do I do in BIOS and allat stuff

[crimson scroll]

Just download your games unc 🥀

[potent dune]

okay chat

I'm 16 aint no unc😞

[lone mango]

[crimson scroll]

Damn im older than bro

Im 17

[potent dune]

im making £13 an hour at 16 tho🤭🤭

double the minimum

AND it's my first job

[crimson scroll]

Nit gad

Bad

@nocturne flicker diamond city radio or classical radio?

[nocturne flicker]

I don't listen to radio while playing Fallout games anymore

[crimson scroll]

Get out my face rn

Its fun to listen to radio

📻

Radio good

[nocturne flicker]

You can only listen to the same songs for so many hours before it gets old

[crimson scroll]

Alr you got me

I agree

[nocturne flicker]

Also the wimpy radio dude isn't as entertaining as Three Dog

Even if the jokes are old and tired for me

[crimson scroll]

Lmao bruh

Did bro even do the mission?

[solar token]

brass knuckles ram

[crimson scroll]

Theres a mission to give the winpy radio guy confidence

[nocturne flicker]

He goes from wimpy dude to generic sauve guy yes

[crimson scroll]

Yes

[nocturne flicker]

He still isn't interesting to listen to

[crimson scroll]

Weary your a strange person

[nocturne flicker]

Mr New Vegas gives news reports in a nice, smooth tone, Three Dog is boisterous and willing to personally call the character out for being a piece of trash

[crimson scroll]

Bro doesnt enjoy anything 😭

[crimson scroll]

What characyer

[nocturne flicker]

The player character

[crimson scroll]

Oh

[nocturne flicker]

Three Dog acts as a means of gauging public response to your actions in Fallout 3

[crimson scroll]

Oh

[nocturne flicker]

If you do something bad, he'll call you out

[crimson scroll]

I dont have fo3

Cant play on windows 10 nor 11

[nocturne flicker]

Mr New Vegas is more of your prewar news broadcaster combined with a classy radio host

[crimson scroll]

I see

[nocturne flicker]

And Travis is a painfully wimpy shy dude who becomes manly suave guy if you do the quest

[crimson scroll]

Yes

He ddont stick up for himself

[nocturne flicker]

And he is literally the least likely person at all to even host a radio station and as such it is silly that he even has that role in the first place

I would've liked Vadim as the host

Boisterous, prone to tall tales

[crimson scroll]

Vadim lol

Idk i think id like the guy on there

I forgot his bame

[nocturne flicker]

It is Travis

[crimson scroll]

Yes him

Travis

Idk i like him as the host

Maybe if he wore a suit and tie yk

Hed fit the role better

[nocturne flicker]

I like the Silver Shroud station though because it is extremely camp

[crimson scroll]

Yea

They just play the same episode over and over tho

[nocturne flicker]

Sadly.

[fresh timber]

Temporary setup

[rancid juniper]

average e-sport setup

[nocturne flicker]

I liked the whole be an awkward Silver Shroud larper bit though, I enjoy the token campy bits Bethesda throws in on occasion. The highlight of Starfield for me was the quests on the planet full of clones of historical figures. Pure sci fi shlock

[crimson scroll]

How much is starfield

Does it require wifi

And how big is it

[nocturne flicker]

Too much for what it is. Also it is a single player game so no wifi needed

[crimson scroll]

Tell that to rockstar 😂

[crimson scroll]

Almost 100$

Nah ill pass

[rancid juniper]

starfield is the latest in the boredom genre

[nocturne flicker]

125gb of blandness and crap

[crimson scroll]

Yea no

I dont have the hotspot nor money

Got 4.5TB of storage tho

What u think abt skyrim @nocturne flicker

[nocturne flicker]

It has a lot of content that is generally shallow and not developed enough

The Civil War being the biggest offender imo

[crimson scroll]

Bethesda gamss are just too overpriced and undermade

They feel rushed

[nocturne flicker]

What are you telling me you don't like the same dungeon copy and pasted over and over again and choosing between whale snake and bird?!?!?!?!?!

[crimson scroll]

Ive inly played skyrim

U played the oblivion remaster?

[nocturne flicker]

Nope. I'm not buying games right now and I don't want to sail the seas for it. I am interested though, I've always wanted to get into Oblivion more but it was a bit too clunky for me to sit down and play it

[crimson scroll]

Ive only played skyrim fo4 foNV in terms of bethesda games

Fo4 and gta 5 r my fav games

Pretty bland atastek

Taste ok

Ik

[nocturne flicker]

Then again I have played a fair amount of Fallout 1 and if that isn't the definition of clunky in 2025 I don't know what is. Mandatory highlight interactables mod because 3 pixels are too difficult to see

[crimson scroll]

Theres really not many fallout games

There should be more

[nocturne flicker]

There is 8

[crimson scroll]

Fo4 is the best looking one

Eame with gta 5

Hopefully fo5 will be a offline gam

Game

[nocturne flicker]

I dunno. I probably won't be buying it so eh

[crimson scroll]

Hopefully its cheap

Starfield is 70$

[nocturne flicker]

No

[crimson scroll]

70 full dollars

[nocturne flicker]

It will be the same price or higher than Starfield

Bethesda is a Microsoft owned company now

[crimson scroll]

Its said to release by 2029

[crimson scroll]

Your lying

[nocturne flicker]

Microsoft bought Zenimax

[crimson scroll]

Microsoft ruins everything

Whats zenimax

[nocturne flicker]

Zenimax is the company that owns Bethesda

[crimson scroll]

Oh

[nocturne flicker]

Microsoft has owned Bethesda since 2021

It was one of the big acquisitions in the lead up to Activision Blizzard

[pliant berry]

that is what I hate about acquisitions. one large investment company buys out one umbrella company that happened to own the company of x product you like and then ruins it

[crimson scroll]

Activisons is a 5/10 company imo

[crimson scroll]

Yea

Ban microsoft

Wait so

Ive always wondered this

Did migrosoft create forza horizons?

[nocturne flicker]

I mean to be fair, Bethesda has ruined themselves with or without the help of Microsoft

[pliant berry]

well yes this is true

[nocturne flicker]

Todd is in a downward spiral

[crimson scroll]

True what they did to that employee is pretty scummy

[crimson scroll]

I hate that he created micro transactions lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Also lets be real, Oblivion would've never been remstered without Microsoft owning Zenimax

[worthy meteor]

fnv remastered when

[crimson scroll]

That obvlivion remaster looks beautiful tho

[crimson scroll]

No they didnt

[crimson scroll]

What abt the last of us? You like it( is it good? Is it worth the money

[nocturne flicker]

No

[pliant berry]

so what is oblivion again? I mean the original, I've never heard of it before

[crimson scroll]

Kinda like skyrim

[pliant berry]

kind of?

[crimson scroll]

Yuh

Ive never played nor ever seen gameplay for it

But id assume its like skyrim

[nocturne flicker]

Oblivion is the Elder Scrolls game before Skyrim. You play a dude trying to stop a demon lord and his army from invading the land of Tamriel by finding the lost son of the Emperor of Tamriel who is the only one who can shut the portals the army uses to invade the world

Basically

[crimson scroll]

I was gonna say its the one before Skyrim but didnt wanna be wrong lol

[crimson scroll]

Sounds fun

[nocturne flicker]

Also the Son is played by Sean Bean and the Emperor by Patrick Stewart

[pliant berry]

hmm

I tried to play skyrim once but tbh is was just too old for me

[nocturne flicker]

Oh and there is a dlc for an assassin guild's shenanigans and another for the god of madness and chaos going sane

The mechanics are a bit dated but it is tied more to traditional RPG mechanics than Skyrim

[crimson scroll]

My problem with fo4 is

The story

Its a good story

But its such a quick and fast story

Storys like 30 missions

[pliant berry]

I can't remember the last time I finished a game's story

[crimson scroll]

All you people play nowadays is fortnite and cod

Story games are the best

[lone mango]

Damn

[nocturne flicker]

Back in my day CoD had a story 👴

[crimson scroll]

Also this is embarrassing but when i was building my first pc i didnt know windows was free and you can download it onto any drive u want i told my granny that ima need a windows motherboard LMFAO

[lone mango]

Brotha finally spitting

[pliant berry]

oh yeah i've been enjoying rpg's a hell of a lot more than the countless team shooters and battle royales

[crimson scroll]

I cringe so hard thinking abt that

[potent dune]

uh gang what app do I use to sync all my PC rgb together

[crimson scroll]

Realistically

Any

[lone mango]

What mobo you got

[crimson scroll]

But signalRGB is good i hear

[lone mango]

You might be able to do it in bios

[crimson scroll]

This too

[pliant berry]

openrgb is what many use

[lone mango]

True

[crimson scroll]

Yea and this

[potent dune]

gigabyte b650 eagle ax

[lone mango]

Openrgb or bios is what I would say

[pliant berry]

signal looked decent too but they are trying to sell it as a product for profit?

[crimson scroll]

First cod i have actually owned is AW i liked the story didnt get past mission 5 or so game crashed immediately didnt frel like spending 40GB of data updating it so i just never played it again

[crimson scroll]

Kinda

Their ads are annoying

[nocturne flicker]

AW was at the bottom of the barrel for CoD campaigns

[crimson scroll]

I liked it

I’ve played ww2

[potent dune]

thanku gang

[crimson scroll]

That was fun

[crimson scroll]

This was just the multiplayer tho

[nocturne flicker]

World at War was the peak. Everything else was down hill from there besides Black Ops

The 1st one

[crimson scroll]

Ive heard

It looks gery good

World at war

I loke the song in the back

The one people complain is creepy

I mightve played a black ops

I played a zombies one

I just dont know the exact one

Also the guy bringing me the cable is lost in mu neighborhood 😭😭

[nocturne flicker]

WaW had a very good soundtrack, probably the best out of that entire generation. It was a really unique game in the CoD franchise all things considered, the pinnacle of the WW2 shooter genre

[potent dune]

so chat uh my fans are no longer glowing??

nvm

[tranquil pebble]

48 gb ram kit for my laptop costs less per gb than the 32 kit

[crimson scroll]

Just set it to a static(solid color like red green blue)

[tranquil pebble]

Campaign wise CoD 2 was also peak, and CoD 4 ofc

[potent dune]

done it, my gpu isn't tho it's flashing rainbow bruh it's ugly

how do I do it with the gpu

[crimson scroll]

Gigabyte rgb software

If you have corsair rgb software you can just change the color of it in their software

[proud jackal]

[potent dune]

ah

[crimson scroll]

Their software is the easiest to use(when it wants to work(

[nocturne flicker]

I never got around to playing 2. I played the PS2 version they made, which was actually an entirely different game with a subtitle to differentiate it

[crimson scroll]

Ps2 was very good console

I had one

Then it got stolen

Along with my OG xbox

Alot of my stuff got stolen by crackheads

[dusk knot]

Hm

[nocturne flicker]

I still have my PS2 fat

[crimson scroll]

Lucky

I had tom clancy ghost recon jungle storm for the ps2

Best game for ps2 oat

[rancid juniper]

bungie is soooo cooked lmfao

that company can't stop plagiarising

[crimson scroll]

Whats bungie

[rancid juniper]

former devs of the popular IP called halo, now makes destiny 2 and marathon

[dusk knot]

3029

[potent dune]

uhm it's not working?? tf do I do😭

[crimson scroll]

I knew bungie sounded familair

[rancid juniper]

tweet from the artist:

its wild

[crimson scroll]

I saw a comment about fallout 5 and its stuck woth me ever since “at this point well have a irl fallout before fallout 5”

[rancid juniper]

this is like if EA made a new star wars game and they stole JP's art 1:1 without credit or royalties

[nocturne flicker]

They should do it that'd be funny

JP gonna bring EA down

[rancid juniper]

would be an interesting timeline

[nocturne flicker]

2025. JP declares war on EA

[crimson scroll]

Ea needs to be banned

[tranquil pebble]

EA Games - Challenge Ruin everything

[dusk knot]

Nooooo!!!!

[dusk knot]

If I had the money,I would.

Ea is stain that needs cleaning

[potent dune]

wait could it be bc my gpu doesn't have an ARGB cable connected

[dusk knot]

Terrible

[potent dune]

it doesn't have one

uhh JP

why my gpu not wanna stay as one colour rgb

gigabyte radeon rx 770xt

7700*

[nocturne flicker]

Crowdsourced Lawsuit

[dusk knot]

What rgb software are you using?

[nocturne flicker]

You'll get tons of money

[potent dune]

ive tried GCC and openrgb

and rgbfusion

[dusk knot]

Huh

Best to just have one RGB software on your computer

[potent dune]

yes but i mean I'm trying all of them to see if works

[dusk knot]

Open rgb is good

You save your settings right?

[potent dune]

yes but my gpu isn't doing it

[crimson scroll]

Anyone know a adapter i could use? Its a corsair rm850x psu 12vhpwr cable, is there such a thing as a female 3x8pin 12vhpwr?

[potent dune]

only my fans are

[dusk knot]

Hm

[pliant berry]

you are trying to extend the cable?

[crimson scroll]

No

I have nothing to plug it into lol

I dont have a corsair rm850x

[dusk knot]

Since you have a gigabyte gpu, using rgb fusion 2.0 would have been your best bet. Weird

[nocturne flicker]

Do not use a cable for a different PSU

[crimson scroll]

I know dw

Im looking for a adapter

[fresh timber]

I thought you said gigabomb

[potent dune]

yeah but also the gpu doesn't have an ARGB cable idk if any do but yk

[north crescent]

Sometimes have to enable smbus stuff in oRGB settings

[crimson scroll]

The his is what i need but the 12v part needs to be female

[fresh timber]

I want one that plugs into gpu and spits out 8pin

[crimson scroll]

I like the adapter

Looks cool and futuristic

Luckily know i have like 4 8pins with my new psu unlike my old one with only 2 8pins

They the same wattage too

[nocturne flicker]

...It is a plastic bit with a couple wires wrapped in a fabric weave with three more plastic bits at the end. How is it futuristic?

[crimson scroll]

Its nvidia branded

[nocturne flicker]

...

Okay?

[crimson scroll]

Mvidia is the future

[nocturne flicker]

[fresh timber]

https://a.co/d/aHuY6Dz

I found it

[crimson scroll]

Ida bought the adparer but i ront bave 15$ for it

[nocturne flicker]

Nvidia is the future fire bomb in your PC

12vhpwr go boom

[crimson scroll]

I didnt know this but you cant use the adpater that came with the 3000 series its the same cable but different than the 4000 series

[potent dune]

I give up bru

[crimson scroll]

Did bro see the original 4090? It had FOUR 12vhpwrs

[nocturne flicker]

12vhpwr go boom

Crap connector

Should be banned

[crimson scroll]

I wish they stuck with the regular pcies

[pliant berry]

I am still confused, what connector does your psu and gpu have

[crimson scroll]

Not crap just poor desiguned

[crimson scroll]

Gpu has a 12vhpwr

My apevia atx pr600w(bad psu ikkkkkkk dont bother complaining) has 4 pcie 8pins

[nocturne flicker]

So you agree, okay

[crimson scroll]

I didnt think it through

Not crap as in bad connector could be very good if they desiguned it better

Thats still the same thing woth different words

Hopefully you see my point

[nocturne flicker]

No, just scrap the entire thing

[pliant berry]

wouldn't you just need a new cable then?

[crimson scroll]

Yea probably

I need a corsair rm850x ig

Anyone wanna donate?

Lol

[nocturne flicker]

Putting so much power down a single cable was a stupid idea on a good day

[crimson scroll]

Im kidding btw(unless you want)

[crimson scroll]

Yea thats what i mean by poorly desighned

The fact that its a one cable connector makes it good i like the look of it, just wish they would actually sit down and think it through

[fresh timber]

Idk what I wanan do rn

[crimson scroll]

Mr either

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/chika-yokoyama-derestage-idolmaster-idolmaster-chika-idolmas-gif-6289586992669324746

[fresh timber]

Do I get my new case or nah

[crimson scroll]

No save money

Somebody teach him budgetting

[nocturne flicker]

They did think it through. They realized they could save more money by cutting down the amount of connectors needed, saving money on materials and allowing further shrinkage of the PCB, saving more money while also allowing them to do some funky stuff on the heatsink

[lone mango]

Yeah I saw the legendary drops video

I hate this company so much

[nocturne flicker]

Who cares if the connector has a tendency to fail at higher rates

[lone mango]

All they do now is make slop

They are a husk of themselves

[rancid juniper]

they will do ANYTHING than pay/follow rules

[lone mango]

They should have stayed with activision

Because they played all of us

[rancid juniper]

eh they're no better

[random osprey]

did you hear that their trial is gonna be moving foward in court cause they couldnt pull up the base game for D2

[lone mango]

Guys look we are freeing ourselves from the greedy corpos! Now we can make more money by milking you guys because we have you locked into our spells!!!!

[rancid juniper]

yep, that was just wild

like this is what you get for deleting content

fools

[lone mango]

Yeah the judge didnt want to see some youtube video

Judge wanted to see it from them

[rancid juniper]

based judge

[lone mango]

I hope bungie goes down bro

Huge win for gamers if true

[rancid juniper]

yea as much as i don't wish ill will on these things, since there's people working there you should've known the risks

[opaque sedge]

Who’s bungie?

[lone mango]

https://youtu.be/gPYRstczrPg

[rancid juniper]

Developer behind Halo (formerly)

now makes Destiny 2 and marathon

[opaque sedge]

what did they do

[rancid juniper]

art stealing

y'know the usual

[lone mango]

Ruined destiny 2 and is developing "marathon"

[opaque sedge]

Damn they made destiny 2? No wonder they need to perish

[lone mango]

Gotta put it like "marathon"

[rancid juniper]

😂

[opaque sedge]

Making destiny 2 was a bad enough crime and now they stoop this low?

[rancid juniper]

Someone said its not marathon anymore, its just "SPRINT"

[nocturne flicker]

Hey now, there are dozens of people who actually enjoy the game. Dozens!

[lone mango]

Have you seen the gameplay

[rancid juniper]

always have been

[lone mango]

It is so boring

[rancid juniper]

absolutely

theres no substance

[tranquil pebble]

I cant get 32 GB of RAM for my laptop because 48 GB was $3 more lol. I think it would be dumb to buy the 32 GB kit lol

[lone mango]

This is what they killed destiny for?

All destiny players got played by these guys

[rancid juniper]

another
extraction
shooter

hate this genre

i really do

[nocturne flicker]

They always have

[lone mango]

Thanks for continuing to give bungie your money, destiny players

[rancid juniper]

this is what KILLED Titan fall 3 before existing

[opaque sedge]

Indie games have been mostly roguelikes too

[lone mango]

Bungie thinks they are entitled to your money

Been like this for a while

[rancid juniper]

yep

[nocturne flicker]

Destiny was always predatory towards its player base and it had to undergo a major overhaul because the og game was trash

[opaque sedge]

Excited for an upcoming one published by konami tho called deliver at all costs

[rancid juniper]

more ram = better

[tranquil pebble]

for me its all about bang for the buck lol

[rancid juniper]

overall...
These companies gotta stop trend chasing

[crimson scroll]

@nocturne flicker https://youtu.be/BD-AJwqzWsU?si=SsxGDW8fWvCTZjCJ

[rancid juniper]

that is like the number 1 issue

[opaque sedge]

Oh nice looks like there’s a demo now

[lone mango]

They milked all of the milk out of destiny for this

Poor game

Poor players, actually

Those guys are the true victims here

[nocturne flicker]

Guinness is a scam

[crimson scroll]

How?

[opaque sedge]

Guys why are most games with a profound roleplaying system and mechanics almost always first person?

[crimson scroll]

First person POV?

[nocturne flicker]

They have ties to a Central Asian dictatorship who has them make up categories just to make the dictatorship look better

[rancid juniper]

i guess its a design choice to keep the player immersed

[opaque sedge]

Yeah

[crimson scroll]

h

Ah*

[crimson scroll]

For me playing rpg games in 3rd person feel weird lol

[lone mango]

Thought he was gonna say you can just pay them for whatever and its a world record

[crimson scroll]

Pretty sure theyve done this before tho

[lone mango]

They do

[opaque sedge]

I dont feel immersed at all well cyberpunk 2.0 was well done but others feel so jank 😭

[crimson scroll]

Is cyberpunk good?

[opaque sedge]

Hmm ngl small cut like that would be better for stir fry or smth you can cook in small chunks

[opaque sedge]

Its frigging amazing rn if i could erase my memory and play it again god

I played it like 4 times

Including the dlc

And its a goddamn rollercoaster especially if ur spoiler free

The rpg and gear mechanic is also easy to understand and optimize without any guides per say

Well for the other stuff idk abt the magic system tho (its called netrunning or quickhacks) might need a guide for that

@rancid juniper speaking of rpgs what act r u in exp33?

[rancid juniper]

still act 1 sorry bro im too slow

@opaque sedge

[crimson scroll]

I wanna play cyberpunk but dont wanna pay 60$

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

Nah

Nah nah its good ur still there enjoy it at your pace and make sure to remember some plot points which become uncovered later

[rancid juniper]

absolutely

i still remember the plot its way too interesting to pass up

[opaque sedge]

There’s a really funny plot point once ur in act three its a minor one but funny to think abt

[potent dune]

[rancid juniper]

[opaque sedge]

Yeah the ultimate edition is absolutely worth grabbing

[nocturne flicker]

Humble Bundle

[rancid juniper]

not bad

[nocturne flicker]

It used to be good

And then they made a bunch of quiet changes

[hoary zodiac]

I don't see many good bundles anymore

[opaque sedge]

Hard to believe that with a twist of fate somehow cyberpunk is one of the most optimized games today among high fidelity ones

[hoary zodiac]

Only occasionally

[nocturne flicker]

The bundle quality dropped and they have a mandatory percent they take now iirc

[hoary zodiac]

And the ones that are decent

I have half the games
