gonna get a couple more favours and I'm gonna gank on them

#

They also have a really good trade node so

#

I'd practically have almost full control of northern italy if I annex Piedmont and Genoa

opaque sedge

Yeah there’s so much more he’s a former gang member but his old gang still respects him to a high degree, but in one of his jobs he tasks the player to take out a high ranking member of that gang… who respects the padre a lot btw… calls himself a man of god but the only god he knows of is the eddies

#

And its so conflicting cuz his earlier jobs are that of dealing justice

hoary zodiac
#

eddies

#

wait is this cyberpunk lore

opaque sedge
#

Slang for eurodollars currency in the world of cyberpunk

opaque sedge
#

For the world

hoary zodiac
#

I think the real world has the opposite problem

#

Corporations don't fight each other they just sit in their monopolies

opaque sedge
#

Oh and the president of the version of the US in cyberpunk is technically the ceo of a corp which is in control of the US government btw

hoary zodiac
#

fun fact

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

Washington chose the title President because it'd be like the president of a company

#

a modest title

#

... for the era

opaque sedge
#

Shit sounds like the title of augustus from ancient rome

#

“The first man” or smth

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah but Washington wasn't power hungry

opaque sedge
#

Is history repeating itself?

hoary zodiac
#

And it really was just supposed to be a modest title

#

August invented the title of princeps as a way for him to be perceived as a man of the people

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

Well no

#

Washington intended the position to be a more modest one

#

Separated from the image of a head of a state such as a monarch

#

Augustus had a facade

#

He took titles that were supposed to be modest but they were not in reality

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

Well no

opaque sedge
#

I’m listening

hoary zodiac
#

It's simply because he wanted the power

#

Every political action he took in that era was to weaken the senate

#

And consolidate power in himself

#

He still needed the senate for legitimacy

#

That's why he took on a "modest" appearance

#

That's why with later emperors they just dropped the act

opaque sedge
#

His daughter’s story is wild tho ngl 💀

hoary zodiac
#

Because the senate at that point were quite powerless

@hoary zodiac do u have any generic belief some normal kid might have when he was young but then lost in adulthood

#

Need to make up smth for a stupidly personal assignment

hoary zodiac
#

Uh

nocturne flicker
hoary zodiac
#

Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity

#

Any chinese superstition

opaque sedge
#

More generic

#

Extremely boring

#

Npc level

#

Not some cyberpunk rebel path level belief

hoary zodiac
#

What?

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

You shouldn've specified that

#

You asked a generic question and got a generic answer

opaque sedge
#

Yh didnt cross my mind

#

Sorry

hoary zodiac
opaque sedge
#

Only got an hour left bruh

hoary zodiac
#

Uh

opaque sedge
#

I hate discussion board assignment that uncomfortably personal

hoary zodiac
#

See here's the thing

#

Anything radical I can't say

#

I lost those beliefs because they're unacceptable

#

Or just unrealistic

opaque sedge
#

Gimme some

hoary zodiac

opaque sedge
#

If i put in my actual beliefs and why i lost those beliefs shits gonna look ducked and incredibly sad

#

I might even be referred to the dreaded therapist

hoary zodiac
#

Put in "Little Timmy"

opaque sedge
#

Whats little timmy

nocturne flicker
#

Using the word president had been used beforehand for numerous positions. Governors sometimes went by president and Congress had a President before the Constitution was drafted. It is a more generic term for anyone who presided over something, so when the convention was going over names, they went with President because it was the most generic, least controversial name they could've chosen.

hoary zodiac
#

Generic placeholder character

hoary zodiac
#

So less controversial than say

#

Prime Minister

dusk knot
opaque sedge
#

Ah duck it im gonna put in kindness and empathy

#

Generic enough and not incredibly ducked up and sad

hoary zodiac
#

That makes you sound like a sociopath

opaque sedge

#

After the first election there was a debate over what to call the President when addressing them, with the Senate wanting to glorify the address and the House wanting to stick to modesty and eventually the House won out, which is why the President is addressed as Mr. President

hoary zodiac
#

I mean I have no empathy but still

opaque sedge
#

I hate assignments that cross a student’s personal boundaries

#

Just make me read some shit romance poem like my westen civ prof did bruh

Can somebody help me out within the new few days please? i bought a pc off new egg for 2 Grand and its just not meeting expectations for the specs that were on it, I think its getting bottle necked or something like i dont even know im not a pc guy, i got a friend who has a download to verify the specs but hes just being annoying and not responding and my brother told me to "bench" the specs to see if they're healthy and i dont even know what that means, if anyones willing to help it'd be greatly appreciated
Like if its not what i expected I'd want to be able to return it before the 30 days are up cause I'm not tryna just keep a suboptimal PC and just waste 2000$
DM me if you're interested in helping would mean alot to me! 🙏

#

did i get a Valid score for those Specs?

#

Like istg im getting rust at 120 FPS on a dead server that CANNOT be right

#

and im getting 60 fps FOR MINECRAFT? MINECRAFT??? WHAT?

#

somethings up

#

this is supposed to be 200fps+ for rust

elfin mural
#

stock minecraft runs pretty meh

#

you should get sodium

#

or whatever rendering pipeline optimization mod there is now that is the new one

#

also rust is pretty heavy on the cpu- you might wanna park some cores since your cpu is multi CCD

#

the latency penalty costs performance once the game uses more cores than one CCD has, requiring to use the second CCD

#

9900X has two CCDs, with 6 cores in each CCD

#

might wanna disable the extra six cores and threads to get more performance

raw forge
#

minecraft

#

with optimization client side mods

#

like mods for shitter pcs to be able to run smoothly

#

it has to be getting bottle necked

#

its running same frames as my old pc that is like

basically dog shit

elfin mural

have you raised fps limit?

It comes from a song and now people just say 6-7 (hand motions in the gif also signify 6-7)

#

idk they're just lyrics in a song

hoary zodiac

Let me guess

#

Tiktok

craggy shoal
#

I'm former half of Gen Z so I wouldn't know 💀

hoary zodiac
#

It's always tiktok

craggy shoal
#

And yes TikTok

hoary zodiac
#

The darkest pit of hell

craggy shoal
#

TikTok has two sides:

  1. Annoying side
  2. Actual good side that isn't annoying (sometimes educational lol)

What always gets out and why people make fun of TikTok: the annoying side

#

^^ just trust me on that. TikTok actually isn't that bad lol

#

YouTube Shorts is worse tbh

#

meant for kids

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah but at that point I'd have to train the algorithm

craggy shoal
#

Doesn't take long tbh

hoary zodiac
#

To not give me garbage

#

Plus I don't really need another doomscrolling app

craggy shoal
#

hoary zodiac
#

It's kinda

#

Useless

#

Unless it has other functionalities

craggy shoal
#

I use it as a news source

#

Also it's gotten me into new hobbies

#
  • YouTube Shorts: for kids (actually worse than TikTok tbh)
  • TikTok: Either memes or hobby type of stuff (there's probably more sides idk about)
  • Instagram: Racist
#

And then whatever Snapchat is doing 💀

hoary zodiac
#

Oh so it's actually the least worst

#

Out of all of them

#

Wtf

craggy shoal

lol yeah

#

You'd be surprised

hoary zodiac
#

I mean you can't get worse than instagram reels

craggy shoal

Actually Facebook Reels aren't that bad either. A lot longer (I think?). Actually might be the best but then Facebook is stealing your data

hoary zodiac
#

Instagram comments are the best way to lose brain cells

craggy shoal
#

lol yep

#

A lot of them are bot comments too

#

"😂😂😂"
"❤️❤️❤️"
"🔥🔥🔥"

#

The only thing you'll see in some comment sections

hoary zodiac
#

And then there's uh

craggy shoal
#

Usually from low follower accounts too lol

hoary zodiac
#

People from all over the political spectrum

#

Usually on the ends

#

And never in the middle

#

And they're almost always equally braindead

craggy shoal
#

People just hate TikTok because it used to be music.ly until ByteDance bought it (far worse than modern TikTok)

#

Nobody will tell you that's why they hate TikTok though

#

"Why do you hate TikTok?"
"It's a kid's app" (typical response)

"What's your thoughts on music.ly?"
"What's that?" (Also typical response)

hoary zodiac
#

Speaking of Instagram

#

I'm tempted to do a Stalin

#

And just purge my followers

#

Half of it are people I no longer interact with or people I have literally never seen

#

And I have zero idea how they even found my page

craggy shoal
#

lol I purged my followers at one point

#

Don't regret it tbh

#

I actually used to have a lot of followers. But then I was halfway through getting my cybersecurity degree and I didn't like the thought that there were people who I didn't even know following me

hoary zodiac

I just cut down my follower count by half

I don't know half of these people wtf

People would be like but AMD does refreshes too and yes that's true but in ryzen's case look at the 5800x and the more recent 5800xt
5800x launched at $449.99 and the 5800xt at $249. Already a big jump. SO HOW COME THE I5-10400 launched at $200 and its refresh at $200 WTF?
With AMD atleast they changed the clockspeeds a bit.

So not even compatible with the current sockets, only for people with 5 year old boards or willing to buy one on Ebay or something derpyBlob

elfin mural
#

yeah

#

there's no point to sell this

#

other than being desperate as hell to get rid of inventory

#

but by then..

#

why not just RESUME 10400 production?

lone ibex
#

Now we have to wonder, will Intel relaunch 400 series chipsets as well

Also resume LGA1200 board production derpyBlob

what chips were on 1200 normally?

lol so it's the same cpu on the same board???

lone ibex

Although Comet Lake, which is what this is, was 10th generation. So it's limited to PCIe 3.0 only, and some of the slots may not work on a 500 series board

and lga 1200 boards are no longer produced

#

this isn't even april 1st

#

i fail to comprehend that this is real

lone ibex
#

What if Intel launched their own board - like they used to produce. Then they sold this as a bundle together. Maybe with an H470 chipset which they somehow had laying around

nocturne flicker
#

And to think, I was initially upset because I thought they were just slapping the pad layout on 10th gen cpus. Nope, actual 10th gen cpu in 2025 derpyBlob

lone ibex
#

Maybe Intel was jealous of AM4 having new CPUs for 8 years

#

"Oh yeah? Well LGA1200 ... uh, hang on. Here, have this new CPU"

@upper rain Ok so the core offset increases clocks when under lighter loads

#

Or rather it will actually try hitting it when under 100%

#

At 100% I did see a very small increase but it will actually try to hit your specified frequency offset when it can

#

For example at a capped frame rate

#

Obv it wont be pegged at 100%, so it will boost higher

Is anybody here really deeply familiar with battery backup systems

#

We have a customer who's using a 660W rated battery backup with his gaming PC - he's got the PC on the surge protector only side. He's experiencing some issues with the PC at home that we haven't been able to replicate at the store, and I'm trying to determine if the 660W rating is total output among all outlets, or if that only applies to the battery-powered outlets

worthy meteor
#

I'd just approach that by logging voltages and power draw and then running either OCCT power test or furmark+p95 while using their backup at home, if it's something to do with voltage droop or running into a power problem, you'd be able to see it in the logs

#

But you might be able to find the answer to that by consulting the specific manual for the model of the backup

lone ibex
worthy meteor
#

drops to 660w when using the battery on the battery outlets

lone ibex
#

So he should be fine

#

his PC is hooked up on the surge protected only side

#

it's his xbox, TV, monitors, all that stuff is on the battery backup

#

He's having some issues with the LAN connection dropping out and lagging. Running a 100ft Ethernet to another room so he can have a solid connection. Every time he's had the PC here at the store it runs perfectly including the LAN connection

#

It's gotta be something environmental we don't know about. And when he hooks that 100ft cable up to his gaming laptop, no issues

worthy meteor
#

Or possibly something to do with the windows network configs

#

Something environmental affecting ethernet just seems a little unlikely

#

unless it's something like powerline ethernet and the extra power draw is somehow causing interference

# worthy meteor Or possibly something to do with the windows network configs

It's not Windows and it's not drivers. He was having these issues at home, brought the PC here, and then we had no issues here. Last time, we reloaded Windows and all the drivers for him, and he got it back fully working for a short time, then started having more problems. Could be one of his peripherals. Something funky is going on here.

velvet summit
#

this is a line interactive UPS, which means they do not go through any power conditioning or battery power while it is on the grid, so it should be the same as plugging it directly in the wall

#

if something is failing (mainly the contactor to switch between grid and battery), it might have some dirty power issues which can cause instability

#

if they plug directly into the wall and the issues is still happening, it's likely to do with their power

#

and to solve that, they'll need a power conditioner

#

or an online ups (but those are generally more expensive)

#

i would recommend an eaton lc1800 or something for a power conditioner for a pc

dusk knot
#

OH!?

lone mango

My friend has a 4060 ti and is getting 80 fps at 1440p with these settings in bl4

worthy meteor

Unless it's something really convoluted like it's causing voltage droop on only the 5v or 3.3v rails which isn't affecting anything else but the specific Ethernet chip is using that rail

That guy who overclocked his 5080 to play it at 90 fps with performance upscaling pisses me off

#

people like him are why games suck now

rancid juniper
#

yep, its the acceptance

#

like that gpu is currently the second most power consumer card out there and you're fine with those numbers?

#

with a game like that it should pull way more than it has to, the engine overall is actually a problem

#

because the consistency of constant performance problems persists on 99% of the titles made in UE5

hoary zodiac
#

The studios know they can get away with slop

rancid juniper
#

with some exceptions like Fortnite, Valorant, The finals

Those games however are competitive so they really had to put effort into proper performance

hoary zodiac
#

That's why I make it a policy to not buy slop

#

I don't care if they optimize it after release

#

If it was a AAA title asking for the $60+ retail price

#

They have no right to release games in a slop state

rancid juniper
#

yep

opaque sedge
#

Fandom seems toxic af too

#

Just like the fandom of another game with shit performance

#

Cough cough mhwilds

upper rain
#

i wouldn't say it's super optimized, although definitely better than some

#

a lot of it is just that they don't use heavy effects/undersample the heavy effects

opaque sedge
#

Given borderlands 4’s artstyle i am confused why they didn’t opt for unreal engine 4 if they were adamant abt using unreal

i get like 100ish fps on my b580 with a lot of the effects turned up. a lot of the effects just look a bit fuzzy bc undersampled

#

no

#

it runs the game fine, homie is up to some nonsense

#

even my a770 runs it okayish, nanite kinda screws them though

#

a770 moreso than b580

#

possible

rancid juniper
#

even with those features enabled they aren't as taxing as the rest of the games made in UE5

upper rain
#

talking to me?

upper rain
#

i've run this game on 9070, a770, b580, 4060 ti recently. it's not a hardware issue, the game is just not very crisp lol

#

7900 xt in the mail, will look exactly the same

rancid juniper
#

maybe because consoles are easily finetuned compared to pc

opaque sedge
#

This generation of gaming is so ass bruh peepoSadSip

#

Sony’s got the decima engine to themselves and its got insane performance for its visuals on both pc and console… but they haven’t made many games with it

Apparently death stranding 2 is rendered internally at 1440p… for a 60fps target on performance mode
