more testing is needed but this vid is convincing me

not that i have hearing loss

but damn apple

[fresh timber]

ugh the framework 12 has only one ram slot

[lone mango]

I would rather hear my tinnitus

[fresh timber]

framework 12 should have ben camm2

[elfin mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nmJ3NNuV7c

world's cheapest hearing aid

[lone mango]

True

That industry is extremely profitable

[fresh timber]

cloud would u rather 4070ti desktop or 5090 laptop

[lone mango]

dekstop

[elfin mural]

if either are free

laptop

[fresh timber]

ur bias

u cant use desktop 🤓

[elfin mural]

lmao

real

[lone mango]

Brother I have been seeing this for years

Bro its happening bro

its gonna happen bro

[random osprey]

housing market on the other hand

actually might happen

[fresh timber]

do frameworks have thundrerbolt..

:L

[proud jackal]

mom planning to buy soon as it crashes and interest rates go down

[lone mango]

It better because if the car will spy on me

it better be cheap

[fresh timber]

im eating chicken

wbu

[random osprey]

just gotta get rid of dealerships really, biggest problem imo for cars

[lone mango]

Prices went down over here a good bit but it is not enough

[fresh timber]

dont get rid of dealesr

i need a job

[random osprey]

sell at fair price then instead of 50-70% mark up 🗿

[fresh timber]

i need to feed my future family, no

[elfin mural]

car market crashing would be a W

or especially the house market

[atomic current]

yay no moe cars :D

[mental yoke]

more cats! less cats!

if aliens ever reach the point of exploring other planetary remnants of dead civilizations, the car will probably be the reason humanity dies out. its so toxic

[fresh timber]

the framework 12 looks like a chromebook

[mental yoke]

chromebooks dont necessarily look bad

[fresh timber]

they are poop

trtash os

[mental yoke]

infact that small and sleek look good

[atomic current]

there's probably planetary corpses around the universe that succumbed to the same fate

[mental yoke]

true, i like that angle

[atomic current]

and there's probably utopias across the universe with trains

in short, cars are the great filter

[fresh timber]

i wish more laptops had upgradable motherboards, i totally would upgrade mine to o13th gen

[mental yoke]

there just lots of cars connected okay?

[atomic current]

real

[atomic current]

my brother's 4700MQ should be upgradeable to 14th gen

drop in replacement

[fresh timber]

woah

debatable

[upper rain]

what time is it for you? aren't you an hour earlier than me?

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-eyes-gif-19714044

[upper rain]

bruh lmao

that's when i woke up

i'm so tired lol

[fresh timber]

then go bac kto bed

nerd

[upper rain]

eating oatmea at work rn

i have to clock in in 5 min

[fresh timber]

im looking at framework prices cause im bored

[upper rain]

do they have a strix halo one out yet?

[fresh timber]

not sure

they should make a framework 13 with the halo strix

[upper rain]

would be neat if they did. strix halo is so cool

yeah

[fresh timber]

it just cost too much

i dont see my self getting a max laptop in my near future

im only g etting a dgpu one cause it fits the price

[upper rain]

tbh homie i think that $500 12700h was your ticket lol

[upper rain]

oh? not going egpu anymore?

[fresh timber]

oh i can get both

[upper rain]

mm

how will that affect battery life?

[fresh timber]

it just makes more sense to get a dell for many other reasons

[fresh timber]

charger ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[upper rain]

DELL

[fresh timber]

precision 5560, i did some reasearch and they have better build quality

[upper rain]

fair tho, my first laptop was a dell and it's still running... well not running strong but running as well as when i got it at least lol

and that thing is as old as some of my siblings lol. i think it's like 6-7 years old now?

[fresh timber]

unlike the 12700h this has a a2000 in it, upgrdable ram both slots and a nicer display probably, they go up to 4k if i ever wanna upgrade it

its funny

all the cpu options are within 5% of each other

11800h-11950h is just a clock speed bump

same IPC

so it doesnt mattter which one i get

[upper rain]

toger lake isn't too bad

tiger*

basically what broadwell is to skylake. neat little architecture

[fresh timber]

i had a tigerlake, only reason it sucked cause 4c8t, this is 8c16t

[upper rain]

yeah

[fresh timber]

great performance when they are built right

[upper rain]

x2

[fresh timber]

its.. fastert than the 5500 im using right now

[upper rain]

for sure lol

[fresh timber]

so i know it will be a enjoyable expirence

[upper rain]

that guy is at like first gen skylake maybe kabylake perf lel

[fresh timber]

lol

[upper rain]

it's still a neat cpu tho, did you ever try ram OC on it?

[fresh timber]

only bottleneck i see is a GPU one if i plugin egpu to the thudnerbolt, when in doubt i can use the nvme slot if i feel like it

[upper rain]

the mono ryzens scale really far

[fresh timber]

i cant reach the cmos reset so no

gpu too fat

[upper rain]

true, just drill a hole in the chassis

[fresh timber]

nah ill just take the back off

[upper rain]

i wire up my reset button to clr cmos on my builds

very convenient

[fresh timber]

i need tthe reset button

[upper rain]

nuh uh power button works just fine

you just oress it twice

stinky

[fresh timber]

this looks interesting

[upper rain]

japan

[fresh timber]

its a lil more expensive than the one wheer you bring your own cable and psu

[upper rain]

hatsune miku referencr

[fresh timber]

but likeeeee

i think i can fit a 7700xt in it

[upper rain]

my miku buds are arriving today probably

[fresh timber]

i want a modular 450w psu

[upper rain]

do u have a 3d printer?

[fresh timber]

no

[upper rain]

sad

any libraries nearby have one?

[fresh timber]

i woudl 3d print a enclosuure

[fresh timber]

i dont go outside ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[upper rain]

you could probably find schematics for an enclosure yeah

with like proper atx PSU support

[upper rain]

$170

[fresh timber]

i just need a psu and im chilling

and guess waht

it adds up to the price of that ebay one

[upper rain]

i'm going to come to ur house and bite all of ur thunderbolt cables

[fresh timber]

whats the point of t aking cpu and atx and still need a dc barrel

[atomic current]

that's to power the coin miner

[upper rain]

engineers snacked on crayons

[fresh timber]

fr

the atx and cpu power carrys 12v.. just rob that

if i was smart enough i would lowkey diy a oculink portt on the laptop

[upper rain]

you can do that?

is it a pcie thing?

[fresh timber]

i mean you what? cut a hole in the side.. use a thin ribbon to to rob the nvme slot

[fresh timber]

unlike thunderbolt oculink is PURE pcie

its pcie in a diffrent formfactor

[upper rain]

yeah i figured that's probs what it was. would be neat if u have a dremel and some free time

[fresh timber]

just gotta get an adapter that can fit

[upper rain]

you could probably get an oculink port with a bracket or whatever so you can jjst drill through the side of the chassis to attach

[fresh timber]

oculink is pcie gen 4x4 irrc while thunderbolt is pcie but not pcie

[upper rain]

thunderbolt is whatever Intel's engineers want it to be

[fresh timber]

if i wanted to DIY IT i would

[upper rain]

that's how i think of it. it's a magic 8 ball and u never know just what ur going to get

[fresh timber]

im getting laptop the second i get home

😛

placing that order

[upper rain]

if you could get something like that but with a bracket parallel to the oculink port it would be good. bc then you could just cut out a rectangle and plaster the bracket over it

[fresh timber]

ill worry about EGPU later cause those pries re 🤮

[upper rain]

lol glhf

wait the laptop or adapter

[fresh timber]

lattop

[upper rain]

bc neato if the laptop

ah okay

[fresh timber]

i cant use adapter with lout laptop

[upper rain]

glhf is for janky oculink mod lol

yah

[fresh timber]

and laptop has a DGPU so i wont need it ASAP

ill prob stick to thunderbolt, might sell 7700xt and grab a 5060 or something for it

[upper rain]

5060

[fresh timber]

nvm 5060 litterly cost the same as a used 7700xt

[upper rain]

just buy my 4060 ti for the low low price of $600

[fresh timber]

oh hell nah

modsssss

[upper rain]

i got twelve stds by clicking that link

[fresh timber]

i wouai

3060 would be perfect for that

[upper rain]

$200 cring

they were $130 last year sobs

[fresh timber]

lol

or i can keep 7700xt and have piece of mind knowing i can run 1440p easily

[atomic current]

I would buy it for 60 dollars

[upper rain]

yeah that would be good i think

i would buy you for $60 dollars

[atomic current]

nuh uh

[upper rain]

yuh uh

[fresh timber]

i dont think ill get drievr issues cause the laptop is only intel and nvidia

[upper rain]

need to wait for nvidia cpu + intel gpu for optimal driver bs-ery

[mental yoke]

those are only for thinkpad

[fresh timber]

[fresh timber]

it doesnt matter

[mental yoke]

yea nice

[fresh timber]

ima just get my self a nice usbc hub and call it a day

why are the non thudnerbolt deocks more expensive

give me double sided take and a long cable and im chilling

https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/17fk7kb/this_dell_hd22q_usbc_dock_can_get_4k120hz_10bit/

[fresh timber]

can it do 1440p 144

ew that price

im good

i aint spenidng $99 on a dock

[mental yoke]

if itll do 4k120 itll do that

[fresh timber]

im prob goin have to get one with dvI, i dont need anything fast to begine with

i just want one cable for charging, two displays, keyboard mouse, and ethernet

[mental yoke]

i was gonna use that as a legion go hub

[fresh timber]

i gotta find a bluetooth mouse too

i wish laptops had the dongle tech builtinside it

[mental yoke]

mx3 is nice

my thinkpad doesnt even have bluetooth

[fresh timber]

im gettng the cheapest wireless gmaing mouse that isnt total poop

[mental yoke]

i got my hd22q on ebay for like 20 bucks

[fresh timber]

I wish full kvms weren’t so expensive

[mental yoke]

both that dell dock and that hp dock have a problem where the entire io is disconnected when you unplug the main usb c driving device, so even like cell phones charging start and stop

just a quirk of most docks

[fresh timber]

If I could use one button to swap between laptop and desktop and my monitors run full refresh, that would be fire

[mental yoke]

problem with all this is the display output capabilities usually

[fresh timber]

thank god I’m not gaming

does newegg sell appliances?

Does anyone know how to make a vanilla torpedo in minecraft

I'm trying to make an Ar 196

[dense locust]

[hoary zodiac]

I mean you can make torpedos

but can you make a torpedo that can be dropped from a flying machine

too much to ask for tbh

the main guns on the ship are decorative anyways so

[atomic current]

if you can get tnt carts to reject gravity

[hoary zodiac]

oh yeah

tnt carts are at thing

hmmm

I could probably actually make functional main guns

[hoary zodiac]

dive bombers would be more realistic tbh

not very historically accurate

[mental yoke]

whoa buddy

[hoary zodiac]

but dive bombers are easier to make

well not dive bombers since the flying machines can't drive

Just a regular old plane with a bomb lock

[mental yoke]

spray and pray is bad juju

[hoary zodiac]

what

[mental yoke]

just drop all the bombs

[hoary zodiac]

lol

"bomb(s)"

you get one torpedo

or one bomb if it's a dive bomber

I want a framework laptop but they expensive af

Especially for the specs

[north crescent]

Me when looking at fw16 that is outdated hardware and no nvidia (thanks professional software for making life pain)

[opaque sedge]

Maybe they’ll get cheaper down the line… they’re still technically an extremely niche first generation product after all

[dusk knot]

[opaque sedge]

But the down the line is prolly like half a decade

And they prolly wont get cheaper as in the sense of price reduction

But rather in terms of performance value each dollar provides

Yh its gonna suck not to be rich in the coming years

[opaque sedge]

Btw whats up with the new emote?

Did u sell ur pc to buy an oled monitor or smth 😭

It's a new one I suggest lol

Seems to be right at home here

[fresh timber]

yeah fr

im going for a older dell precision

id rather cheaper price good specs than more expensive mid specs

Ultra Nightmare?

[lone mango]

I havent played it in three weeks i dont remember

Whatever the hardest one is

ok ima launch it rq

Its not called ultra nightmare in this game

Ultra violence in this

[mental yoke]

ngl i kinda liked the doom from 2006? or w/e cus it felt more horrory

[misty sparrow]

Doom 3?

[mental yoke]

i think it was the last doom not this recent one where i was like “ im kind of tired if killing these” like it wasnt fun

[mental yoke]

prolly, og xbox

yea doom 3

[lone mango]

I was expecting ultra violence to be harder ngl

[misty sparrow]

Yeah same here when I beat it a few weeks ago

only really died from missing a jump sometimes

or when I went out of my way to do side quests

[lone mango]

I have died some nooby deaths in combat but it wasnt that bad considering it was my first time playing doom ever

I remember having some trouble tracking enemies the first couple minutes because of how fast you move around

But now im good

[misty sparrow]

At least you weren’t playing like Polygon

[mental yoke]

is codm a cute waifu game?

[dense locust]

Deltarune
Minecraft
Uhhhh…

That’s all I got

[pliant berry]

that's the shorthand for call of duty mobile lol

[dense locust]

It should’ve been a cute waifu game

[mental yoke]

they can still correct course and add the waifus

[pliant berry]

true

[mental yoke]

my favorite mobile game atm is balatro

[pliant berry]

start collabing with azur lane or nikke or something

[mental yoke]

gfl

[sinful blade]

I have probably the most middle class white guy games in here

[mental yoke]

naming the me triology is cheating

[pliant berry]

just realized my list is basically cutesy or relaxing games and then just ends with death stranding 💀

one of these days I will find a way to nicely connect my laptop to my desk setup

[nocturne flicker]

I don't even know what I'd list as my top 4

I've played so many games for so long I've grown a bit too cynical

[frigid stag]

Damn how bad were these games

[nocturne flicker]

If you play games long enough you'll start noticing certain issues and problems that detract from the game. I'm saying I've played a lot of games and as such my ability and frequency to finding flaws in them make it hard to pick favorites

I love Fallout New Vegas. I have however experienced and absolutely noticed the issues with Fallout New Vegas. And since I've played it enough those flaws stick out a lot to me that makes it hard to fairly 'grade' it

[worthy meteor]

the more you play a game the more material you have to crap on a game with

[nocturne flicker]

Exactly

And the trap is that you are more likely to replay games you like a lot, which exposes you to its flaws more which ends up detracting from it

[pliant berry]

I am going to kill someone I swear

explorer is so incredibly broken now

[frigid stag]

I’ve played games since the 2000s, but there’s different things I look for in a game. i play different kinds of games

I notice when a game doesn’t have good mouse input

Some ue5 games have this strange delay

[mental yoke]

when ur characters feet move faster or slower than the speed at which they are walking

bothers me

ice levels get a pass

[nocturne flicker]

I noticed when Starfield would randomly stop ADS when I had the hold to ADS setting on with a gamepad

That was annoying

I had to switch to press to trigger ADS

Also everything else was annoying because it was Starfield

[lone mango]

Yeah I was about to say

Doesnt even matter if that didnt happen because the game is still trash

[rigid sinew]

i need some more people to tell me what games

im not familiar with pc games and i want to make this poll

[lone mango]

[tranquil pebble]

[rigid sinew]

my idea got turned down so nvm !

thanks yall

[hoary zodiac]

smh

here's a list of games anyways

[lone mango]

World map 1

World map 2

world map 3

world map 4

[worthy meteor]

All the map games

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-gif-14307036094483991064

[hoary zodiac]

Victoria II
Europa Universalis IV
Crusader Kings II
Hearts of Iron IV
OpenTTD
Project Highrise
Team Fortress 2
FTL: Faster than Light
Papers Please
Project Zomboid
Cosmoteer
Quake II
Terraria
War Thunder
Cities Skylines

these are the games I have installed

Victoria II on top

[nocturne flicker]

No Stellaris = inferior opinion

Though FTL was really good

[hoary zodiac]

Stellaris is too based

you can uh

ok I can't say that here

[nocturne flicker]

You can do questionable stuff in EU 4 too, it just isn't as upfront

[hoary zodiac]

I'm waiting for the dlcs to go on sale before I touch that game again

[hoary zodiac]

convert all culture to saxon

[nocturne flicker]

Also funni trade good that is a ball and chain

[hoary zodiac]

I should play stellaris with a smaller map

I always play with a larger map and then get annoyed with micro

I still feel like I'm missing DLCs

or maybe I just haven't sunk enough time into the game to be good at it

hours compared to vicky

and the epic map painter

[nocturne flicker]

Big maps get laggy. Or at least they used to, I dunno how the population overhaul changed things, a lot of the lag used to be from all the individual pops

[hoary zodiac]

I have 63 hours in the funny roman map painter

still waiting for a new DLC

I'd still rather play this over Victoria III

[nocturne flicker]

Big maps the AI makes dozens of colonies so by end game there was hundreds of different planets with dozens of individual pops that needed to be managed

I once did a whole game, got curious and annexed everyone via console commands, deleted most of the colonies and pops and magically the lag went away

[hoary zodiac]

I'll stop tagging you in these if it's annoying haha

[dusk knot]

[upper rain]

oooh i'll actually try to snag that one, ty

i always need more high speed USB lol

[upper rain]

nah i appreciate it homie

[idle nexus]

two USB Cs from one of those x4s no one uses on motherboard? I'm grabbing that for sure lol

they had either 2x usb C 2x usb A or like 1 usb c & one usb a iirc

[upper rain]

oops

cousin pic lmao

[idle nexus]

I'm not sure if it would steal PCIe lanes from GPU x16 but ig I'll find out soon lol

[idle nexus]

lol

[upper rain]

yeah depends on board layout

i'm peetty sure i have a usable x4 somewhere because i only have 1 nvme going rn and not all my sata are populated

[idle nexus]

hopefully it takes lanes from SATA SSDs

[upper rain]

yeah lol

[idle nexus]

like the ASmedia ones for ig running windowsXP or whatever those do lmao

[idle nexus]

😠 how dare whoever did that

[lone mango]

This cat looks weird

[idle nexus]

[idle nexus]

this is kinda cool too that they had https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5GRY483?th=1

no idea if it's there tho since things disappear lol

[opaque sedge]

Wth did the sun rise from the west or smth? A chinese studio putting their game on sale

[icy ore]

hmm

still shouldve won goty

[opaque sedge]

Fr hate that its ue, but it still offered a lot for a game

[real wraith]

does anyone know if buying a 5090 on stockx is legit

[proud jackal]

why would you buy it on stockx

[frigid stag]

Probably overpriced

[proud jackal]

there are 5090 in stock everywhere

LOL

[random osprey]

buy me one pls

rog or aorus

[misty sparrow]

isn’t msrp like $2000

crazy pricing

[royal crow]

2.5k

[misty sparrow]

that’s still heavily below what this cards going for which is nuts

[hoary zodiac]

the msrp is overpriced

imo it's not worth a cent over 1.7k

1.7k is me being generous

[fresh timber]

Msrp doesn’t exist

Msrp is just for the AMD version and guess what

Amd didn’t make one

[dense locust]

It’s like $1359 over msrp and only 30-50% better than a 5080

Biggest scam gpu

[misty sparrow]

MSRP is barely present on amd too what do you mean

[dense locust]

Manufactures
Scalping
Retail
Products

[misty sparrow]

Ironically when I went to microcenter the Nvidia shelf was mostly filled while AMD was a lot empty

Which means people are actually buying this crap at over MSRP

[hoary zodiac]

And not to mention the fact that the MSRP itself is already overpriced

[lone mango]

Jensen is making a huge margin on the 5090 even at msrp

I think like $600 or something close

[hoary zodiac]

he needed to pay for his new leather jacket

[frigid stag]

That’s not that high

I expected more

[lone mango]

It might be

I dont exactly remember

[fresh timber]

I’m late, b06, Fortnite, marvel rivals, Valorant, Minecraft, Roblox, scrap mechanic, space engineer. Balloon Td

[lone mango]

[pliant berry]

that question was cancelled

[lone mango]

Prob the worst list

There was not a single one mentioned

[hoary zodiac]

bro did not see all the map games

[pliant berry]

movie games are awesome

[random osprey]

give me grindy games, destiny, warframe, the division 2, path of exile/2, minecraft 🗿

[hoary zodiac]

Payday 2

[nocturne flicker]

I mean I could throw out Elite Dangerous but that game is shallow. Just like the company making it

[hoary zodiac]

Victoria III moment

[rigid sinew]

@acoustic palm how did it go?

[nocturne flicker]

At least Paradox is actively making stuff even if it is overpriced and broken mod-esque content, Elite Dangerous only finally started getting more ships. That go on sale for the premium currency months before added normally

[hoary zodiac]

EU4 team is probably my fav atm

the content is still decent

EU4 has a lot of depth

props to that team for supporting that game for that long

[upper wedge]

Find a local NEX or exchange store, apparently they have these at msrp

[nocturne flicker]

They still haven't touched ground content since Odyssey launched 4 years ago. Three different suit types and about 9 or 10 weapons

Better enjoy spamming capture the flag, because that is the only real ground mercenary content besides go and kill random person at X location and get a bounty on your head in return for 5 credits and a thank you

[hoary zodiac]

or just play TF2

[dense locust]

Tfwho?

[chrome mirage]

I got a free printer from the work dumpster and the thing pulls so much power that it trips my UPS

I have a 1000W UPS

[lone mango]

I think it should go back

[chrome mirage]

It prints really fast though

It's big too

[sinful blade]

My MiL has that

It’s so ass

[proud jackal]

time for some valo

[chrome mirage]

Change the v to an h and I'll agree with you

[sinful blade]

Theo is the only person I know that plays valorant still

[misty sparrow]

I don’t know anybody else who plays valorant either

have you tried playing valorant

[sinful blade]

No
It seems like a clone of every other in the genre

[frigid stag]

It’s not

[sinful blade]

The community is also hella toxic
So I just don’t want to get into it

[chrome mirage]

I only installed valorant once because a girl I went to school with asked me to play it and I uninstalled it right after

[frigid stag]

Most multiplayer games can be toxic

[sinful blade]

Val’s is as toxic as Overwatch
And csgo

[frigid stag]

Sometimes is nice though u get full lobbies

[misty sparrow]

The first time I played Valorant people were yelling at me and swearing at me even though I didn’t know how to play

never again

[frigid stag]

With Open mic

I’ve been called almost every slur in valorant

XD

[misty sparrow]

I’d rather go play Team Fortress 2

[sinful blade]

I’d rather go on call of duty than valorant
And I haven’t played cod since bo3

[misty sparrow]

You can’t beat someone to death with a frying pan in Valorant

[lone mango]

Valorant rootkit

[frigid stag]

They take the game too seriously

[sinful blade]

Valorant is the game the people banned from cs, ow, and cod go to

[frigid stag]

I just joke around a bit and people there get mad

[sinful blade]

All for racist vc

[frigid stag]

In ow you can get banned for just being spam reported

Idk about cod or cs, those are a lot harder to get banned afaik

[sinful blade]

I enjoy rivals though
It’s relatively non-toxic outside of high comp

[lone mango]

The comp system seems to be fake

It will put you in lobbies where you steamroll people and then you get put in lobbies where you get steamrolled

[misty sparrow]

It’s funny because in most shooters the VC is entirely silent and I don’t blame people

[frigid stag]

I get the opposite of that

[misty sparrow]

they either go to party chat or are too afraid of getting banned

[frigid stag]

I get full lobbies on mic

Especially in rainbow

That game is rlly active

[misty sparrow]

oh yeah, rainbow 6 players have no life

[lone mango]

r6 players used to be soyboys but now they have been replaced with real gamers

At least there is that

Had some funny vc moments

[frigid stag]

The og players definitely werent soy boys

[hoary zodiac]

Fact checked by real gamers

[frigid stag]

Maybe some joined during the lockdown

[lone mango]

og siege was just completely different

I dont remember the sensitive player era

Like how long it lasted

I think it may have been like 2018 or 19 to 21 or 22

[frigid stag]

Probably not long. When I last played it I had a whole lobby shouting at me for losing an easy 1v2

Was funny though, would do it again

[lone mango]

But when I was playing last year the people playing were less sensitive

[frigid stag]

It’s kinda sad than funny ngl

[lone mango]

But yeah the players say nutty stuff now, I am just disappointed with the devs of siege

Well really

Its just ubisoft

[frigid stag]

Ye they have some weird decisions

[lone mango]

Nerf everything so it all sucks

[frigid stag]

They got rid of Vulkan then dx11 despite players complaining about low performance after both

People with high end pcs too

[lone mango]

Wait what

So no more vulkan siege?

[fresh timber]

im not even high comp getting people call me N word

[frigid stag]

“Dx12 will be better trust me bros”

[frigid stag]

Oh yea ages ago

[lone mango]

I still have it installed lol

[fresh timber]

idk man my high end gpu runs it good

[frigid stag]

Then they got rid of dx11 in like March or February

[lone mango]

When did they get rid of vulkan

[frigid stag]

People were complaining about stutters and low fps

Like probably January

[fresh timber]

yeaah my high end gpu doesnt get that problem

just spend more money

[lone mango]

What would happen if I ran the vulkan executable

Yo

When did they remove the vulkan executable

[frigid stag]

I think January or February

[lone mango]

If I ran it would it just run the dx12 version

How much better does the game even look

Because the few seconds I saw it was just siege

https://youtu.be/lemSV59wcag

So it is actually noticeably better

[rough zinc]

It looks a lot better but performance is a lot worse

[fresh timber]

If I get this game and pull 200 fps

Lmfao

[rough zinc]

There are some issues with things not rendering in properly

[proud jackal]

promoted twice

in one game

[fresh timber]

[nocturne flicker]

Its been 13 years, I don't keep track of anything Call of Duty and certainly not the dumpster fire that is the story nowadays

My 2 guesses will be leader of big shady company that is obviously evil is evil and there is generic betrayal for a twist ending

Also something something, your entire perception throughout the game is wrong because it is a Black Ops game

Oh and the story of zombies mode will be written by two dudes chilling on drugs and writing down things their addled minds think are cool

[frigid stag]

Oh

You alright?

[nocturne flicker]

But my opinion on CoD is the same

I'm fine

Long day of work and arguments at home

[frigid stag]

Fair enough

It does get too much sometimes

[nocturne flicker]

I am currently banned from eating anything in the family kitchen

[proud jackal]

I don't want to go to work tomorrow

[frigid stag]

that’s rough

Hope you work it out

[fresh timber]

cod is fun

[nocturne flicker]

Eh, it'll blow over. Imma sneak cook ramen

[fresh timber]

how old ru

[nocturne flicker]

24

[fresh timber]

tell them womp womp

[nocturne flicker]

I live with my mother

[fresh timber]

ur an adult now

[nocturne flicker]

And pay rent

[fresh timber]

yeah

so like she cant stop you

lmfao

[nocturne flicker]

She can raise my rent

[lone mango]

Their recent campaigns are a fun experience

[fresh timber]

where the lease

[frigid stag]

Is the rent cheap at least

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah. $500 a month

[fresh timber]

she has to give proper notice for raising ur rent

[nocturne flicker]

Except she produces a ton of utility fees and we all split utilities

[fresh timber]

i make my mom spend alot of internet

[nocturne flicker]

This isn't a formalized agreement, this is gib mones and you live here k

[fresh timber]

your protected

how long have you lived with ur mother

[nocturne flicker]

...Since birth?

[fresh timber]

good news

she has to legally evict you

👅

[frigid stag]

Don’t escalate it

[fresh timber]

i dont belive she can even increase ur rent with out a legit reason

[misty sparrow]

There’s nothing wrong with living with your parents

[nocturne flicker]

I escalated it by announcing I'd be charging $10 for every bag of trash I take to the garbage dump after I was 'banned' from eating the food in the kitchen

[fresh timber]

if ur not contirbuitng to garbage why ru taking it out 🤔

[nocturne flicker]

I clean up after 9 dogs, take out the trash and put away cleaned dishes and I get lower rent

[frigid stag]

9 dang

[nocturne flicker]

Except if that isn't done to her satisfaction that means rent goes up

It used to be $400

[frigid stag]

What even is the reasoning for paying rent

[nocturne flicker]

Greed

[fresh timber]

i dont belive she can do thtat

[misty sparrow]

I wonder if living in a hotel room is better than being in an apartment

[fresh timber]

u could prob get her in legal trouble

[frigid stag]

Your mom’s greedy?

[nocturne flicker]

Pretty much. She spends all her money buying excessive junk online, a ton on groceries that don't get used and then whenever she is running low on money she gets antsy about rent and looks for reasons to raise it

[frigid stag]

Ig normal rent prices are too high out there to move

[fresh timber]

get a lease with her so she cant do that

[nocturne flicker]

I could rent a mobile home for 1.2k or rent an apartment for 1075 a month

[fresh timber]

get an appartment

i live in one

they fire

[frigid stag]

I mean 2x isn’t small but if it’s that bad staying there might be worth moving

[nocturne flicker]

Considering 1075 is about 60% of my monthly income pre tax I'd rather put up with her

[frigid stag]

Fair

[nocturne flicker]

Also she absolutely can do that even with a lease because TN allows any time rent raises if that is in the lease agreement, mandates no notification of rent raises unless specified in the lease agreement, and only disallows retaliatory rent raises in very specific cases

[fresh timber]

get a lease that bans her from that

[nocturne flicker]

She'd never agree to an actual lease in the first place because that has tax reporting obligations.

[fresh timber]

she doesnt wanna pay taxse

wild

reporeted

[lone mango]

I dont think anybody does

[frigid stag]

Isn’t there some law for renting without a written contract

Or do they not have that there

[misty sparrow]

All you have to do is make the entire apartment complex undesirable and the rent will lower

[nocturne flicker]

From what I can tell it is basically the same as what I said above without any of the exemptions due to lease agreement content

[nocturne flicker]

This is a house

[misty sparrow]

Neighborhood then

make the neighborhood undesirable

[nocturne flicker]

That isn't how this works

She isn't calculating rent based on neighborhood value

She doesn't even calculate it consistently

My sister pays less than me for more room and no chore stipulations

[lone mango]

You should pay no more than 500 and fight it because you are basically funding her hoarding

Thats what my dad is doing rn

Not sure if he realizes or not
