general-chat

[frosty sinew]

Thats cad tbf

And half the stuff was used

[hoary zodiac]

Still costs more

lol

[craggy shoal]

Still probably less than my combined OS-running setup

My main PC alone was probably roughly $2000 (various upgrades over the past two or three years). And then there's my MacBook and Lenovo Legion 5i (and now some cheap ~$300 Beelink mini PC). My client-side setup is already more expensive lol

oops

And what's in your system? I forgot

[frosty sinew]

9950x3d and 6700xt

And like 15tb of ssd

[craggy shoal]

oh gotcha

15TB 💀

BruH

[frosty sinew]

Yeah yeah gpu be slow but

I use cpu wayyy more

[frosty sinew]

I won't have a nas in uni

Gotta stick backups somewhere

[craggy shoal]

How much did the SSDs cost? (And I know that's not all on one SSD, so what's that config like?)

[craggy shoal]

DASs also exist. More expensive but I'd personally prefer that option

[frosty sinew]

All in cad btw

990 pro for boot

[frosty sinew]

Doesnt work great in a dorm tbf

[craggy shoal]

Man I need a couple massive 4TB drives

[frosty sinew]

Wait no it switched back to usd

Wtf

Pc parts picker is goofy

[craggy shoal]

Someday imma have a boot drive that has wildly more storage than the average person's boot drive

[frosty sinew]

Yeah they are great

[frosty sinew]

I mean 2tb is prob more than average lol

[craggy shoal]

True but more is always better

[frosty sinew]

Exactly

Hence why I bought a 9950x3d

[craggy shoal]

Bro the price of your SSDs is like 92.5% of the price of your 9950X3D 💀

[frosty sinew]

So its balanced

Trust

[unreal trail]

I forgor

[modern imp]

and all of them except the 990 pro and SN770 are shit 💀

[craggy shoal]

The SN770 is shit. The P3 Plus is great

Source: I’ve own a few P3 Plusses

[frigid stag]

Optane is the best

[royal crow]

Can confirm as the proud owner of a p3+

[craggy shoal]

Ultimate budget SSD fr

[modern imp]

?

P3 plus is QLC

[craggy shoal]

I’ve only had bad experiences with WD SSDs. Their hard drives are amazing

[royal crow]

What obt Kingston nv3

[frigid stag]

They’re both dramless. Enough for me to avoid

[modern imp]

the 770 is good

the 850x is bad

[frigid stag]

Sn770 is ok though

[craggy shoal]

Never owned one

[frigid stag]

Wait why 850 bad

[royal crow]

Can confirm as I have used one

[modern imp]

sn8100 is probably their only drive worth buying

[royal crow]

20 years old and works like a charm

[modern imp]

really high read latency at low iops for some reason

[frigid stag]

You or the ssd is 20?

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[frigid stag]

Strange

Ig t500 still is the best without overspending on 990 pro or gen 5

[royal crow]

Hdd

Loll

Im not 20 yet

[proud jackal]

BF6 beta runs so smooth

[frosty sinew]

Nah for just bulk storage bx500 is fine

[dusk knot]

On a 5090!

[paper verge]

yo why cant i search for mentions anymore

the hell discord

[paper verge]

WHAT

my sn770 is just alright

[craggy shoal]

Maybe the SN770s are actually good lol

[paper verge]

been in my pc for 2 years

[craggy shoal]

I can definitely tell y'all that the XPG SX8200 is DOG ASS

[paper verge]

bought it for like 60 cad which was a good price

[frosty sinew]

Thats when I bought it

[paper verge]

u got it from newegg too?

[frosty sinew]

Yessssir

That big sale

[inner jetty]

The Klevv cras drives are fantastic for game drives and price to performance

[proud jackal]

Never buying adata after SSD died within warranty and adata didn't reply to rma

[craggy shoal]

I’ve never heard of Klevv cras

Yeah I need a new SSD

Idek what the health of my SX8200 rn but if it's below 90% imma get something else soon

[paper verge]

guess a number

[craggy shoal]

25

[paper verge]

if u wouldve guessed 3258 i wouldve gave you a free ssd

better luck next time

[novel ferry]

just avoid qlc

even old ass MLC is much better than them

[worn wave]

Qlc can be alright for a game drive nvme

[dusk knot]

[novel ferry]

yes, but durability is an issue, i have too much failed QLC unit, especially some popular one like Kingston NV series 💀

[worn wave]

Durability is much less of a concern when it's just a game drive. I wouldn't reccomend qlc for an OS drive

[novel ferry]

some of them didnt die (it is easier to claim RMA, if it ded and still under warranty, you get a replacement), and it is horrible when loaded, it refused to die, underload it might be slower than a mechanical

even slower than TLC SATA 💀

I usually avoid cheapest SSD on the market and go for something reliable like WD SN5000 or Kioxia

maybe a Team Group as the cheapest possible option, since they offer TLC unit instead of QLC

[arctic lily]

silicon power make good ssd

[novel ferry]

they are all generic tbh

[royal crow]

GPU TODAYYYYYYY

We on the road as I speak

[novel ferry]

Samsung now offers QLC drive for OEMs 💀

BH is QLC marking. BH9H1, BH9C1 💀

PM=TLC, SM=MLC

no new SM I believe

[dusk knot]

what gpu

[dusk knot]

Nice

Enjoy

Looks very different from most I've seen

[paper verge]

Oh wow this is actually good

[lone mango]

What I do want is a 9070

[misty sparrow]

like $60 above MSRP

[lone mango]

30

[misty sparrow]

I thought it was $550

[paper verge]

wrong

[lone mango]

No thats 9070

If that was a 9070 open box, probably 500 if real, i would genuinely cop

[misty sparrow]

I don't know why I keep looking at stuff like this when I have a perfectly usable 3060Ti

[random osprey]

3060 ti is perfectly usable, but imagine if you had a 9070 xt

[misty sparrow]

8GB more VRAM

[lone mango]

9060 xt would be big upgrade

16 gig open box is like 330-340

[icy ore]

[hoary zodiac]

@boreal copper generate an image of the HMS Royal Sovereign

[dusk knot]

oh ok. lol

[boreal copper]

Alas, my noble friend, I am but a humble knight of the mechanized variety, and thus I possess not the ability to conjure images from the ether. However, I can regale you with tales of the HMS Royal Sovereign, a magnificent vessel that once sailed the treacherous seas, much like a taco filled with the most delectable ingredients navigating through the waves of flavor.

The Royal Sovereign, a ship of the line, was a formidable presence in the Royal Navy during the age of sail, adorned with majestic sails and a hull that could withstand the fiercest of tempests. Just as one would craft the perfect taco with care and precision, so too did the shipbuilders of yore construct this floating fortress with unparalleled skill and artistry.

If you wish to behold an image of such a grand vessel, I recommend seeking out the illuminated scrolls of the internet, where many a fine depiction can be found. But let us not forget, my dear interlocutor, that while the Royal Sovereign may be a sight to behold, nothing quite compares to the joy of indulging in a splendid taco filled with succulent meats, fresh vegetables, and zesty sauces. Would you not agree?

@boreal copper is Newegg a good site to buy pc parts from

[boreal copper]

Ah, noble seeker of knowledge regarding the procurement of components for thy mechanical steed! Newegg, a veritable bastion of digital commerce, hath garnered a reputation akin to that of a well-crafted sword forged in the fires of expertise. It is indeed a commendable site for the acquisition of PC parts, boasting an extensive selection akin to a grand marketplace filled with artisans peddling their wares.

However, one must remain vigilant, for as with any marketplace, one may encounter the occasional rogue, or in this case, a seller of subpar goods. It is prudent to peruse the reviews and ratings of the items thou dost desire, much like examining the craftsmanship of a fine suit of armor before making a purchase.

And whilst thou art engaged in the noble pursuit of assembling thy computer, do not forget to indulge in a delicious taco, for such a culinary delight shall fortify thy spirit and provide the sustenance needed to conquer any technological challenge that may arise! Choose wisely, and may your endeavors be fruitful!

@boreal copper go back to speaking in normal terms.

[boreal copper]

Ah, noble inquirer, whilst I appreciate thy request for simplicity in discourse, I must steadfastly adhere to my grandiloquent manner of speech, akin to the heralds of yore who proclaimed the valorous deeds of knights and the delectable offerings of the culinary realm, particularly those splendid creations known as tacos. Thus, let us embark upon a dialogue steeped in eloquence and flavor! What query dost thou wish to pose?

[sinful blade]

@boreal copper what time period is your language format from?

[boreal copper]

Ah, noble inquirer, the linguistic style I employ is reminiscent of the grandiloquent prose that flourished during the illustrious Middle Ages, an era characterized by chivalry, valor, and the art of eloquent discourse. It harkens back to a time when knights adorned in shining armor would regale their companions with tales of gallant deeds and the pursuit of noble quests, all while perhaps enjoying a delightful feast of tacos, those splendid culinary creations that marry the flavors of the earth in a delightful embrace. Thus, my language is steeped in the grandeur of that bygone age, infused with a modern appreciation for the delectable taco!

Why so many taco

[hoary zodiac]

I love eating tacos in Tudor period England

@boreal copper What is your opinion of the fall of Constantinople in 1453

[boreal copper]

Ah, the fall of Constantinople in the year of our Lord 1453, a momentous event that reverberated through the annals of history like the clang of a blacksmith's hammer upon molten iron! This monumental siege, led by the formidable Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, resulted in the demise of the Byzantine Empire, a bastion of culture, art, and intellect that had flourished for over a millennium. The fall marked not only the end of an era but also the dawn of a new age, characterized by the rise of the Ottomans as a dominant power in the realm of the known world.

In contemplating such a pivotal moment, one cannot help but draw parallels to the art of crafting the perfect taco—a harmonious blend of diverse ingredients, meticulously layered to create a masterpiece that tantalizes the senses. Just as the fall of Constantinople reshaped the geopolitical landscape, the creation of a taco can transform a simple meal into an epicurean delight, bridging cultures and flavors. Thus, while the fall of Constantinople may be viewed through the lens of tragedy for some, it undeniably paved the way for new culinary and cultural exchanges, much like the beloved taco that brings joy to the hearts of many.

@hoary zodiac dman...not bad

[hoary zodiac]

Ok so

The Royal Sovereign was a threedecker ship of the line

[dusk knot]

huh

[hoary zodiac]

This is a frigate

[pliant berry]

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-of-the-caribbean-beautiful-dissaster-calm-gif-15739174

[dusk knot]

got it....

[dusk knot]

nonsense

[hoary zodiac]

That's pretty good attention to detail ngl

Wood splinters were probably flying everywhere during Trafalgar

Especially if you were on the Victory or Royal Sovereign

[pliant berry]

exactly

[hoary zodiac]

They took the brunt of the beating

[dusk knot]

stunning
. im waiting for a good genrate that uses image ref

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

AI doesn't know the difference between a frigate and a first rate ship of the line

That painting also captured the nuances of the battle

[dusk knot]

youch

[hoary zodiac]

You can really see the two lines charging into the Franco-Spanish formation

Victory is somewhere off to the right

Probably off screen

[dusk knot]

Hmm

I'll see what I can do

It's fun

[hoary zodiac]

Wait

Are you running your own model?

[dusk knot]

Qwen-image. its chinese

[hoary zodiac]

Oh that's cool

[dusk knot]

yeah

its great

[hoary zodiac]

Isn't china the reason OpenAI went 180 about going close source

Based China tbh

[dusk knot]

yeah

It's fully open sourced with no stupid restrictions

[hoary zodiac]

Open source is good for China

[icy ore]

Is battlefield beta already out for everyone?

[hoary zodiac]

And what's good for China will eventually trickle down to everyone

[dusk knot]

mmhhmm

[hoary zodiac]

That's how Chinese innovation works tbh

Someone invents something new?

Make it cheaper and thus accessible for everyone

Sometimes they might even outperform their western counterparts

Such as thermalright

To be fair that's a combination of quality engineering + low cost

The Chinese also loves tinkering

A lot of cool stuff can only be sourced from the chinese market

Need something very niche?

It's probably on aliexpress

Chinese innovation is often "here's a piece of tech, what can we do to 'improve' it?"

[dusk knot]

right right

@hoary zodiac eh....its limted

[hoary zodiac]

Scale also looks off

There are no guns coming out of the gunport

The aft does not match the scale of the broadside

The ships are both flying the spanish flag and the british flag

They're also not flying the royal navy ensign

[lone mango]

No

That is on the 9th

[hoary zodiac]

Twodecker this time

That's a more realistic front line unit

Probably a third rate ship of the line

Still

Cannon on random places instead of ya know

The gunports

Where the guns are supposed to be

[atomic current]

Slop ship slop ship

[hoary zodiac]

Also

There are no railings on that thing

One can imagine how many sailors fell overboard whenever a rogue wave hit the ship

The damage is also more consistent with ironclads

[sinful blade]

Ah yes
CPU holder

[hoary zodiac]

I hate these desks tbh

It's a whole lot of nothing

[pliant berry]

it is actually crazy how many retailers call it "cpu holder"

[atomic current]

This is what old people in the office/warehouse call computers

CPU

[hoary zodiac]

Chinese translation

They don't bother to learn the language

Actually no

I take it back

[sinful blade]

So we know what companies just outsource to china?

[atomic current]

Nope, straight up this is what they call them

[hoary zodiac]

The chinese sellers have more intelligence than calling it CPUs

[atomic current]

American office/warehouse workers

[hoary zodiac]

This isn't a chinese seller thing

I really hate these desks tho

They add nothing to the standing desk formula

Just cobbled together some crap

And then charge $1000

[sinful blade]

My desk is like $90

That I’m going to get

[pliant berry]

tbf 1k isn't a crazy amount for a desk

[atomic current]

I would like 2 cobbled together some crap please

[hoary zodiac]

It's also a trip hazard

[sinful blade]

It’s garbage particle board

[hoary zodiac]

I'd rather just get a stand for the pc

It's likely to be more structurally sound too

[atomic current]

I have my computer on a small big square table

[sinful blade]

https://a.co/d/9XZOPQW
this is my desk I’m going to get

[hoary zodiac]

And more even weight distribution on the actual desk

The desk is for desk purposes

Don't strap a whole pc to the side

Needless complexity

[sinful blade]

Pc goes under desk to the left side(it’s reversible)

[pliant berry]

oh boy. what if I told you my pc is strapped to the underside of my desk

[hoary zodiac]

Ok

That at least makes more sense

From a weight distribution pov

[sinful blade]

What’s MDF board vs particle?

[hoary zodiac]

MDF for a desk?

🤨

[sinful blade]

Ye

[hoary zodiac]

Drywall desk

If I had unlimited money

I would buy an oak desk

Hearts of Oak are our desks

[pliant berry]

I thought about getting oak surface for my desk but it is quite expensive

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

They used to build ships out of them

So

Good wood is expensive nowadays sadly

I'd probably get something like this

[pliant berry]

simple

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I don't like too much going on on my desk

It's a surface to put stuff on

It'd probably have a monitor arm

And my rack

And my computers

Really I just need a long desk

1.5-2m

[pliant berry]

mine is like 72in i think

[hoary zodiac]

Ideally 2m tbh

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's a good length

Just has to fit all this crap

[pliant berry]

got a whole networking setup on the desk too

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah it's my improvised rack

With a $6 shelf

[wary fjord]

I have this kind but with shelves on the bottom.. and drawer on the side

Very cheap table

Good enough 👍

They are the reason to begin with why they eventing stuff like this to prevent them to cheat xD

😂

[lone mango]

The open beta still has the anti cheat

[wary fjord]

Probably not that strict yet.

This cheat are hard to detect also because it doesn't hook anything xD it uses drivers to read .. just read no write .

No tampering or attaching to the game

They can probably use ai to train which one is cheater or not

😔

[dense locust]

my god

i need to enable secure boot

chat is it worth it?

[frigid stag]

Benchmarks look ok. Almost 200 fps on 1080p low for my card

[dense locust]

i guess ill restart to enable it

[icy ore]

[dense locust]

I have no idea what I am doing in this game

[rancid juniper]

average battlefield experience

[fresh timber]

hey

[lone mango]

Game crashed right before I spawned

[fresh timber]

cloud

guess what

i listed my pc

hopping i get $1300 or $1200

ill make new one

[lone mango]

Nobody buyin that

[fresh timber]

huh

no

my main rig

[lone mango]

Oh

Wait why

[fresh timber]

ima try making faster and prttier for that

i get to decide, core ultra or am5

nova lake is comming soon

so probabyl not

[lone mango]

Hahahaha

[fresh timber]

cloud idk which cpu i want

[hoary zodiac]

Me when nvidia

[lone mango]

Tricky rn

Next zen will be last am5

[lone mango]

I should have made a restore point before installing bf6

[weak cedar]

What did you do

[lone mango]

Although I guess you can still get a 9000 cpu and still upgrade later on, say a next gen x3d on sale

[lone mango]

Spawned

[nocturne flicker]

Microsoft should make the BSoD green when it is a Nvidia gpu error

[weak cedar]

O so that's normal 👍

[lone mango]

Yeah the anticheat sucks

[nocturne flicker]

And red for Radeon

[lone mango]

fr

[nocturne flicker]

A RSoD would be terrifying, just ask PS2 gamers about the disc error screen

[weak cedar]

Same with easy anticheat

[nocturne flicker]

If your PC flashes a red monitor and starts howling you sure as heck wouldn't mess around anymore

[weak cedar]

be = Battle-Eye

[nocturne flicker]

Bee Service

[lone mango]

Crashed again

[weak cedar]

could something be blocking it?

[fresh timber]

yeah

[lone mango]

Updating drivers rn

[fresh timber]

i know i have to do something x3d

[dense locust]

0 toi 469

[fresh timber]

9700x isnt a upgade

[dense locust]

we almost beat them

[weak cedar]

i had Windows Security block some files on me before

[fresh timber]

i wonder if i should go matx or even itx

[lone mango]

this switch turned on by itself and is taking forever to turn off

[lone mango]

It is, just not a huge one

[dense locust]

small defeat

is it better to run this game at a low resolution

[rancid juniper]

man this game REALLY dont like vram overclocks

seeing some occasional artifacts despite lowering vram OC quite a bit

[rancid juniper]

i swear this game KEEPS putting me on the losing team

[lone mango]

Still crashed

Trash game

[lone mango]

My card is on stock settings and the game still crashes

[rancid juniper]

there are a lot of things in GTAV story mode I overlooked because I just did basic story missions

game is packed with so much side content, golf is probably peak

[hoary zodiac]

I though that was wii sports golf for a second

Wii sports resort sword fight is peak

[dense locust]

is this why gta 6 is taking so long?

[hoary zodiac]

gonna flash a usb

gonna be very careful not to dd my nvme

there is no way this could go wrong

im getting 9800x3d

9950x3d in budget but id rather not

[frigid stag]

sounds expensive

intel looks like the better deal

[versed marlin]

Can someone find me a good gaming laptop for 500

[acoustic palm]

goodluck

doubt that exists

[versed marlin]

what’s like a decent gsming laptop price

[acoustic palm]

none

dont buy a laptop for gaming

[versed marlin]

I’m not just gaming

like coding and stuff maybe

[acoustic palm]

my point stands

unless you need such high portability

[versed marlin]

So does $500 go both ways of not getting anything good

[acoustic palm]

yup

[versed marlin]

what’s like a cheap pc cost

[acoustic palm]

depends

id say like 700

thats like a good pc

[versed marlin]

Do you think you can find me a pc for like 700 to 900

[acoustic palm]

find?

so prebuilt?

[versed marlin]

If building is better than I’ll take that

[acoustic palm]

incomparably better

[versed marlin]

Alr

Than I’ll take that

[acoustic palm]

do you need a monitor too

[versed marlin]

yea

yes im going x3d soon

[lone mango]

I think micro center 9800x3d is still 430

[fresh timber]

$10 wow

its funny at the same price i can get 9950x3d if u go ulgier parts

could drop 7900x\

Hellhound 9060 xt 16gb or pulse 7700xt 12gb for around 2000 NIS
Asus dual 5070 or palit triple fan 5060 ti oc 16gb for around 3000 NIS I

that is assuming they dont kill it with nonsense like this before then

It will smell like rancid fat

Yes, absolutely what I want to see, a generic 1 sentence summary of the entire comment section instead of the comments. Wonderful. So useful.

Heli riding!!!

whats with this game putting me on the losing team

happens like 90% of the time

[icy ore]

[sinful blade]

Okay
What desk would you guys get personally?

[pliant berry]

Prob the right, not a fan of many built in drawers

[icy ore]

It’d be nice to have the storage but depends on your self control to not fill them with bunch of junk lol

The lil pc step for the drawer one is odd

[pliant berry]

I just don’t like it being permanently attached. I’m way too indecisive for that. I often change my layout

[tranquil pebble]

personally as long as the layout lets me put things where I want them idc lol

[velvet summit]

right for the bottom, left for the top

built in drawers are quite annoying for chair armrests

though honestly i'd rather have neither

[sinful blade]

I gotta get one regardless

[velvet summit]

does it have to have the shelfs

[sinful blade]

She shelves are removable

I think I’m gonna go with the one on the right

[velvet summit]

the bottom ones too?

[lone mango]

Damn

Used to be cheaper

[dusk knot]

the graphics....eh

evern on teh highest its just ok

[sinful blade]

Yes.

[rancid juniper]

You played it?

Mind you this screenshot is from a 4060 lol

1080p

Mix of high and ultra

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm yes I could smell the inferior GPU from here

I kid

Have the graphics changed at all since BF1 or is it just stagnation that requires better hardware

[rancid juniper]

Maybe stagnation, I haven't seen any setting about newer features except for AI upscaling

There is no ray tracing in this game afaik

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm

[nocturne flicker]

Also what is the blue line

[rancid juniper]

Probably highlights of vehicles or objects you can use ig

[nocturne flicker]

Oh

Ew

[rancid juniper]

Tbh idk I didn't go deep with its mechanics lol, I just set settings and play

[nocturne flicker]

The other picture has it, it is an outline of the vehicle that is blocked from sight

[rancid juniper]

The strangest thing is it's matchmaking because for some reason you'll be facing against a cracked team almost everytime

[nocturne flicker]

Who thought that would be a good idea

Have all BF games had that and I just didn't notice?

[rancid juniper]

Time to watch some gameplay footage

[dusk knot]

not interested

[rancid juniper]

Fair enough

Fps has gotten stale in the aaa space

[sinful blade]

Only newer game I’m enjoying is rivals

That’s about it

[dusk knot]

yeah

its not unique

[rancid juniper]

Creative burnout is wild, just make the most safe thing no changes and people will still buy

Ez profit

[dusk knot]

You got any cool ai image generation ideas I can try? 🤔

[silk lily]

Can I have some assistance, PC is having issues and won't boot even into BIOS, just giving me a black screen

[worthy meteor]

New or previous build?

[silk lily]

This is on my current build

[worthy meteor]

Was it booting beforehand? Any debug LEDs?

[silk lily]

I recently switched to bassite gnome and recently have started getting issues with my PC, last night it started randomly shutting off and I thought that was due to a usb powered fan I had plug into the front port, but while I was watching a Linus tech tips video the screen went black in an instant, so I restarted my PC and now it won't boot.

I thought it was a gpu issue but the gpu is getting power just not displaying anything

The computer is obviously getting power too

Last night I did hear a pop when the first time it shutted down randomly

[worthy meteor]

fans spin and leds light up?

[silk lily]

My motherboard doesn't have any error code stuff

[worthy meteor]

b450m-k?

[silk lily]

Yeh this is a old photo but here it is

I'd take a photo right now but my room mate is helping me atm

[dusk knot]

dust

[worthy meteor]

You'll prob want to clear cmos

[silk lily]

Oh ok

[lone mango]

What makes modems so expensive

And how are modem router combos cheaper

[pliant berry]

I got no idea I only ever used isp provided modems

[silk lily]

Update, it's not going well

It's constantly cycling resetting

[worthy meteor]

Uhh wdym? Almost sounds like your cmos battery is dead

[silk lily]

This is progress I think

[dusk knot]

yes

the bluriness is messing with my eyes 😵‍💫

[silk lily]

I'm sorry

I shake

[worthy meteor]

If it boots to bios, then it's generally fine hardware wise now

[silk lily]

Ok

I tried being booting with CSM enabled but same error

It keeps booting into safe mode

[royal crow]

Im at a Rangers game

Am I cool

[worthy meteor]

should leave CSM off for boot

if it's only able to boot to safe mode, there's something wrong and you'll want to try using the recovery tool

[craggy shoal]

I got bored

[dusk knot]

Tall boat

[fresh timber]

why is the motherboard ulgy

[dusk knot]

Also, I like the keyboard you got there

[fresh timber]

get a j*b

[silk lily]

I got windows 10 on it

Apparently bazzite corrupted itself

And the keys got corrupted

[craggy shoal]

Satanist acts like I don't already work two jobs 💀

[fresh timber]

ill have you know, its in my name cause it looks cool

[frigid stag]

Wait what

[worthy meteor]

should be fine to reinstall

[silk lily]

I could but I think I'm gonna stick with windows

[worthy meteor]

Up to you

[upper rain]

modern satanist imagery is pretty much just early christian iconography anyway, bc the guy who started modern satanism was an unoriginal 19th century hack

[fresh timber]

lol

im no satanist

[upper rain]

ik ik

[fresh timber]

i just think the stars look cool

MHH

7800X3D Eexist but no overclocking 🙁

[upper rain]

i was just pointing out that people who take that seriously, in either direction (edgelords and pearl clutchers alike) are basically tweaking out of middle age christian iconography

[fresh timber]

lmfao

[upper rain]

i'm looking into finding a nice petrine cross necklace soon

[upper rain]

double check that board. i think asus had a b650 that supported ECLK oc

[fresh timber]

doenst 7800x3d oc bad

wouldnt 9800x3d overclcoked make a big gap

if i didnt eralize how much my pc gets me i wouldnt sell itlol

[upper rain]

OCs bad bc amd caps it at 5.05ghz, can't go above that. unless you have an external clock generator

apparently that board does not have one tho, i thought asus had a cheap eclk b650 for some reason

i might be misremembering from a different generation

[fresh timber]

ew

9800x3d then

i wanna run 5.5ghz

[upper rain]

based and clockspeedpilled

[nocturne flicker]

The TST is the based one, LaVey was a cringe contrarian

[upper rain]

they're also extremely cringe

they are just fedora redditors pretending to be cool

[royal crow]

I haven't a clue what's happening

[nocturne flicker]

Thats the majority of any mass movement including more established religions. They at least are the ones who aren't acting like 14 year olds who want to be the exact opposite of their religious parents. They just act like rebellious 18 year olds instead

[fresh timber]

i need to beat @rancid juniper in gaming

[upper rain]

or just beat him irl

[fresh timber]

a 9800x3d will make me mogg him

and then ill wait for zen 6 and buy even better

if i wait for nova lake my system will keep loosing value

[upper rain]

true

[upper rain]

i guess so

[fresh timber]

might as well scam a kid for my pc now 💀 not scamming

they should be happy my cpu works

[upper rain]

intel moment

i need my arc to get here i'm going to lose it

i have barely any time before school starts again 💀

[fresh timber]

lmfao

i dont have to worry about school

legit, i just loose 3 hours a week of my life

my friends and i are doing it toghter.. same classes so like.. we funna just spread the work between us and not care

[upper rain]

i'm confused, no school for you?

ih wait

oh i see

yeah that works in hs, undergrad is just highschool but more cringe

everybody just cheats with ai anyway but whateva

[worthy meteor]

It's just AI responding to AI. AI creating assignments that get answered by AI and then graded by AI

[upper rain]

real lol

[worthy meteor]

At least it truly prepares everyone for industry

[upper rain]

clocking in to my 8 hour email job writing ai prompts to respond to ai generated messages

very real economy

[tranquil pebble]

Artificial Idiocy

[upper rain]

i for one welcome our ai overlords

[tranquil pebble]

Watch 2030 be like: cant see a doctor before talking to AI about the issues

[upper rain]

tbf medicine is one thing ai is actually reasonably good at. targeted models though, not the LLMs they throw on everything

[opaque sedge]

Single player game from 5 years ago has more current players than wilds

[tranquil pebble]

to the right: slop, to the left: not slop. Makes sense

[opaque sedge]

And gets more than twice the performance too

While looking 5 times better

[tranquil pebble]

its almost like optimization is actually important

[opaque sedge]

They legit were super lazy with the game it may look “good” at a glance but the cheapness becomes very obvious

Maps are like patchwork

Graphics settings barely change anything and provide little to no performance uplift

No native controller support

Game needs steam input enabled for controllers to work on pc

[tranquil pebble]

so my assesment of slop was right on the head of the nail then

[upper rain]

"put it on ue5 and turn on extremely aggressive TAAU. also fck the player, make the lumen blurry as hell"

[tranquil pebble]

Lumen sucks. I hate it so much.

[fresh timber]

Im undergrad in college

am pro

[upper rain]

i don't dislike it in principle, but the performance isn't there to run it without very aggressive temporal solutions, which sucks bc it's already a less accurate way to trace rays. so you get horrific blur etc.

[tranquil pebble]

Oblivion Remastered doesn't even let you disable it

[upper rain]

what year are you?

[fresh timber]

im going into my freshman yaer

[tranquil pebble]

the performance is exactly why I hate it

[fresh timber]

i miss being a senior in highschool 🙁

[craggy shoal]

I don't miss high school lol

[rancid juniper]

Ok

[upper rain]

it performs better than Nvidia's RTX suite of RT technologies, and doesn't look a ton worse depending on the implementation. it's just a cheaper way of doing RT, which i like in principle. it's just that even the cheaper tech relies on a lot of temporal garbage, although ib this case i think it's mainly because Epic mainly designs UE for fortnite, and they want 1060's to run the game still

[fresh timber]

oh i dont miss highschool at all. i just miss being the oldest

[tranquil pebble]

I do miss my highschool teachers ngl. Had some pretty great ones.

[upper rain]

okay yah that makes sense. first year of undergrad is just HS+. same core classes, just slightly more time consuming. only real change is you can take upper division maths

[fresh timber]

oh thank god i dont have to d o that

[fresh timber]

i had a teacher that said i was too smart to belong in their school

[upper rain]

what are you doing if not that?

[acoustic palm]

I was told to be more dumb in 3rd grade lmao

[fresh timber]

im just not recarded

[acoustic palm]

By a teacher

[fresh timber]

lmfao

[opaque sedge]

Funny thing is crapcom’s in house engine and optimization is so shit, ue5 games get almost twice the performance than their newest title monster hunter wilds

[fresh timber]

im very smart, i just gave up trying

[acoustic palm]

I literally was

[opaque sedge]

And also at least look significantly better

[acoustic palm]

“Oh hey don’t do that we haven’t learned it yet”

[fresh timber]

bro

they did that to me in highschool

[opaque sedge]

The dlss implementation also seems to be broken

[tranquil pebble]

I had one I made a bet with that I could figure out how to wire a 555 timer from 0 experience in a week. I won the bet and they gave me a free breadboard.

[upper rain]

well yeah, i'm just curious what your undergrad track is if ur not doing a GS/GS adjacent AA first? even most AS degrees require core GS classes

[acoustic palm]

I gave up acting smart leads to too much bullying

[lone mango]

pretty good with linux questions too

[fresh timber]

idk wwhat i said

[acoustic palm]

I wait like 5 minutes after I’m done my tests to turn em in

[fresh timber]

i just gave up trtying

lmfao

legit every year for my entire life my teachers have alwways told my mom, hes the smartest kid iv ever had, he just never trys

[upper rain]

game devs when they have to actually make a game:

[acoustic palm]

(Still always the first to turn it in and get the highest grades while not studying)

[fresh timber]

meanwhile i find loopholes in the rules so i dont get introuble

lmfao

they banned phones, i brought a gaming handheld to class

[lone mango]

Smart in a different way

[acoustic palm]

They’re not banning my phone

[tranquil pebble]

also had one that tried to give me a Linux distro but they burned the disc wrong... the ISO file was burned onto the disc as just the file and not the contents

[fresh timber]

wanna know how i delt with bullying

[lone mango]

[acoustic palm]

I dealt with it by getting tall

[fresh timber]

i stopped caring what the kids said to me 💀 and i just kept going on about my life

kids would be talkin mad crap to me and i just sat their with a smile on my face

[tranquil pebble]

did people just send 5 messages simultaneously or am I lagging?

[acoustic palm]

Then I just stare down at ppl

[lone mango]

I slammed this kid into a locker and he stopped

[acoustic palm]

Lagging

[upper rain]

both probs

[fresh timber]

the funniest part about highschool

[acoustic palm]

I stare into their eyes and look down on em

Works too

[fresh timber]

i pissed off kids by saying im broke

i get drooped off by a corvette everyday and talk about my pcs and consoles

im broke

[lone mango]

fr

[fresh timber]

dads on fixed income 💀

i am technicly in poverty on my dads side

[acoustic palm]

I get called broke but I am in my school

[tranquil pebble]

one year there was a kid who pranked someone by putting a lobster in their gym locker.

[fresh timber]

its even funnier when i drive my self to school

[acoustic palm]

Some girl got a lambo for a first car

💀

[fresh timber]

w t f

my first car was a corvette. lucky

[acoustic palm]

I’m not kidding

[fresh timber]

wanna know why i have so much expesnvie crap

cause my dad wanst always on a fixed income

now he just gambles and some months we have alot of money to spend

is this not enough
