Damn would a cpu like that have any significant impact on gaming performance over current gen cpu offerings?
Seems to be about 60%
It's not made for gaming, so no 😅
It's an ultra high performance desktop chip for specific niche uses
Icic
Everything I do is GPU and memory dependent, and for that, current gen offerings don't really entice me much, unfortunately
Looks abt right
I have 2 GPU's right now. Ideally I would love to upgrade to 3
But that for sure needs a new mobo, and new case
These aren't upgrades I'll be doing particularly soon, I just want to have a plan for when this job works out
For all I know, they might provide compute for me lol
I was also considering just getting an A6000 Blackwell
But that's a very expensive GPU 😅
~$8,000 for a GPU is a hefty cost
Only gpu that’s technically below its msrp rn
At retail

I randomly remembered the guy who tripped on the stairs and pulled the fire alarm
Yummers
memory unsafe C(irno)
yeah... the AI GPU I want is $1400 lol
Which one?
5080?
Or the radeon with 32gigs of vram
Radeon
I mostly need that VRAM. However the gaming capability of the 9700 is nothing to sneeze at either.
btw multiple of these exist too, including an Instinct card
Instinct?
Radeon Instinct, server cards
Ohh
The 32GB one?
I would consider AMD of their software and consistency was better
Peoples
YOU
DO U STRIVE TO UNIFI
ugh i love modded mc servers
ahhhhhhhHHHHHHHH
-# ah
AHHHHHH
The what helly?
Toyota’s making a game engine
I guess they'd be comfortable making engines wouldn't they 
isnt there an instinct with almost 300gb of vram
yeah the mi325/350/355x
Hmm
Hm
Mmmmm
How much is that new?
yeah
Just acquired a complete Final Fantasy 7 for PS1 with case and manual in excellent condition
ROCm works well enough for me
also Nvidia drivers on Windows have been absolute pain for me lately
I forgot how slow PS4 downloading was even on Ethernet
3 hour estimate just for 4GB. Not a problem with my internet or the cable either
forgot how good this feature is, made blurry games like the crew 2 look crisp at 4k
even with an ssd installed the download would probably be bottlenecked by the slow cpu
Back in my day game consoles couldn't even handle SSDs 👴
You pushed it if you put an SSHD in a PS3
If SSD prices get too bad do you think SSHDs will make a comeback?
Is it a good offer though?
unifly
am i just not allowed to play pcvr with an nvidia gpu
No idea
my PS3 has an SSD in it 😉
launch 60gb running a 500gb SSD, originally swapped it to a 250gb hdd then more recently to SSD
i know quite a few people who did
i honestly havent used my PS3 much since like 2016-2017
i bought it at launch
I put the SSHD in and haven't used it since tbh 
I stopped using it in about 2016 too, I got mine at the end of 2010
its a good AA replacement too in some cases
especially for games with awful AA
I thought I was going to start using it again at some point to play games because PS3 emulation was so borked, but it isn't as borked now
Still is quite a bit though 
Ladies
Gentlefish
Ew 🤢

@velvet summit I got a flat cat 7 cable and my speed increased ~4x because of where my computer is located
4x? what was the speed previously
Between 170 to 250 down and it varies so much because the reception was poor
I have many walls in the way
Now I got ~940 down
even just cat5e would have been able to handle minimum gigabit connections at like 500 ft or whatever, and in shorter connections, it could even do 2.5gigabit fine
True but the prices were the same so why not
oh were you on wifi previously?
Yeah
makes sense then
Yeah I occasionally had a little packet loss too
Would try to load a website and it takes a bit or says no internet, I refresh and it immediately loads, and I have seen my friend's ping to to 500+ when I was hosting a game
I also ran a test and it momentarily dropped while the test was running, so peak
I am almost across yeah but also it is the walls
I can go to the room next to me and the speed will nearly double
most home networks only have a single AP so the ideal placement for it should be the very center of the house so every direction is about even in terms of reception
Actually I moved my computer closer to me and the speeds doubld
Yeah but the layout doesn't allow that
Ideally yes
But it is what it is
The cable was really cheap so not a big deal
alot of people don't realize this but when the isp technician comes over to install the router, you could tell them where you want the router to be placed, and as long as you have a crawlspace or an unfinished basement, they may help with installing the router in the ideal location (if it requires crawling through the crawlspace, they might not do it for you, but they can leave you with enough slack to run the cable to the area you want it)
im not sure if they'll do it free of additional charge if it's already installed though lmao
but anyways yeah a wired connection is nearly always more stable than wifi
exceptions is if it's cat5 or worse, or the cable is just straight up broken
Oh also my plan is a little over one gig
1.2
Although the length that I am running, cat 6 would also do
But those cables are unshielded
Cat 7 be design must be
hmm
940mbit is a bit low for 1.2gigabit though i feel? actually wait nvm your router/pc probably is only gigabit right

Shit that might be what it is

💀
i was thinking that 940mbit was like typical of gigabit connections
but then i remembered that the built in nic is usually gigabit
on god
Ok I knew that it was over 1 but did not know what exactly
It is 2.5
Ah hell nah bruh I think my router is 1 gig lan

Oh I did not see thise because the back is facing away from me, but there is one 2.5 port and the rest are 1
Ok this is gonna go so hard right now
Lmao
Yeah they tend to be that way
My previous ISP router had 1 10gbe port and 4 gigabit ports
Except it was 10gbase-t
It's a.....the heck
A ps5 pro costs $749 so valve is in a tough spot rn since it would be suicide if they price steam machine higher than a machine which is significantly more powerful
Steam machine is prolly not likely to do well ngl
It's Capleaf!!!
Rdna 3 gpu so no fsr 4 support
You gotta remember that it can fit in your hand
This is an extremely small computer
steam machine isn't competing with consoles
it's competing with PCs
It looks bigger on the pictures but it is hard to tell how small small things are when taken by a camera
So it has all the drawbacks of both consoles and PCs
doesn't really have console drawbacks imo. Can use it like a PC, put your own OS on it, no subscription for online play
It is an extremely small computer that is designed to be used as a console and a home pc, like a mini pc hooked up to your tv but with more power available to it
Ordered the PS5 pro for GTA 6
enjoy your sub 60 fps next gen experience
Hope I can sell it at the same price I bought for 1 week after GTA 6 launch
ok that could be a play ngl
I don't think it will hit as hard as 5 because rockstar now is different than rockstar back then
Every other ps exclusive can be waited to come on pc but Ik I will get spoiled about GTA 6 through online
uhhhhhhhhhhhh

this 14700k is in nearly 5k carts, crazy
Looks like they all recovered from the dump on the last day of the week that happened middle of the week
Steam Machine dead
The hope has died
All because of AI
do they make hdmi cables that have a 90 degree on the cable its self? i cant find anything
Might have to use something like this
What are you asking for if the adapter wouldn't work
one sec
im working on the photo
not bad
i see
ribbon cable that looks like this. sorry took so long i have not used the app i used for this in a long long time
...And a flat hdmi cable doesn't work?
nope itll be to big when making the bend
i need it to be under a monitor mounted into a lid of a case so i dont have a ton of room to make it look good
I spent six hours printing this
aye harbor freight mention
Dunno.
if only they did that with sata cables for hdd in the back, i do find some close but wrong direction
...They make SATA cables with 90 degree bends though?
was that 100% infil 💀
or is that just a really thick wall setting
Walls: yes
Should you?
I don’t know
then why cant they make one but hdmi😭
the price..
5 pack
o wait misread it
wonder if someone makes custom hdmi ribbon cables
even if hdmi sadly wont work probably
o rip
I'm talking the connectors on the cables
Nobody makes 90 degree cables as in the cables are bent 90 degrees
Best you'll probably get is connecting one hdmi cable to another via a right angle adaptor or extension
only times they have a cable bent like that would be ribbon cables in phones, and they're meant to never move outside of assembly
ribbon cables are very fragile
Ye
closest you can get to a ribbon cable in hdmi form that is meant to be bent would be a flat hdmi cable, but those are not meant to bend in a sharp 90 either
Otherwise the most bend for an hdmi cable will be a flat cable and if a flat cable doesn't bend enough you'll just have to jury rig something with adaptors
jury rig 💀
What
that is not the phrase for it lmao
It is synonymous with jerry rigged
Ugreen seems to have one
Jury rigged came first
But it's not both ends if you need that
way to big
i guess this project just wont work to look good
ngl i've only ever seen the term jerry rig(ged) being thrown around
i guess the other versions fell out of favour?
You'd need to make sure it works
But if you sold it for like $250 on Ebay you'd get at least $500 total
If you kept it, it'd be an upgrade for whatever PC you want
I would do it if the 3060 works
Jerry rigged means it was poorly built in the first place, jury rigged just means makeshift
to be fair, most makeshift things are pretty "poorly built in the first place"
Jerry rigged is derived from probably a combination of jury rigged and jerry built
Jerry built meant poorly made, jury rigged meant makeshift
hey now i only do quality things😅
project im working on i want to cleanly put a screen in this lid
And jury comes from jory, which at one point meant improvised. Rigged literally was rigging on a ship because jury rigged was a nautical term for makeshift rigging
best to use a round cable for that but to route it better imo
something along this line
maybe. just wont look very good im thinking as the screen im looking at has the hdmi out the side but maybe they have another one
just route the cable however the screen is like
main stress point is the moving part as it is the part that would move the most
minimizing bends keeps the cable safe
alternatively, you could also just connect the cable every time you need to

I’d be giving it to wife, replacing the 5700xt
I’d take the 5700xt and put the money towards rent probably
If anyone wants to donate to my gofundme, lmk
yankee with brim
i forgot if a 5700XT was better than a 10606GB
iiiiits PIKACHU
i'd buy it off you
5700xt is equal to about a 3060 12gb or a 4060 8gb or a b580
not as far as the b580
It equals it in 1080p.
B580 upstages at 1440p
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806284784425.html?
this is the screen im looking at
Yeah
yeah DEEZ NUTS
that's cool
Does that classify as theft from Theo
do they make a 90 that would go in like that then down?
every variant
North Momentum Edition is a performance-focused expression of a modern design icon, crafted to integrate seamlessly into the gaming station. Featuring a blackened oak front, dark alloy accents, and three powerful Momentum 12 fans, it delivers a cohesive aesthetic and enhanced airflow out of the box.
there we go
k thank you. now just need to figure out where and how im putting everything else in
The north is known for the wood colour so this is just a regular black case now
i love my north
actually, one slight problem, it looks like they put the usb connectors directly underheat the hdmi connector, so the 90 may interfere with it
true
see if you can find another variant without the usb in the way
i might have to find a different screen maybe
i need to find some guids on people building these. the imput from them should help a lot
though alternatively you could technically do the opposite direction and go the long way; up and then route the cable back down (whether that's behind the display or whatever)
Cold
yep
why is it so cold (inside) 💀 your pipes are gonna freeze
also damn how much did that cost
the tool i mean
thermal cameras are somewhat pricy
that one is also a multimeter?
considering the image quality, that's at least a like 129x129 or whatever pixel density
dorm
college
this ones alr
yeah that's kinda what i expected
256x192
i've been eyeing the thermalmaster p3 lmao
its like 30fps too
yeah i dont use it tho
never tried it
just i like my discrete
cheapest one, but the amount of time saved is well worth it
thermal cameras are pretty handy indeed but idk if i have enough use for one to spend the $$ for it
fair
i build battery packs and stuff so
that's definitely more than what i do lmao
i need to fix my bench psu but i cant see any burnt components so i was hoping a thermal camera could help with that so i didnt have to try to probe around while it was plugged in (the high voltage and low voltage is pretty well seperated but i still don't want to poke around with my fingers too close obv)
i guess i need to solve the heat problem 😅
well that one could probably be fixed with new paste or cooler 💀
you dont need a thermal cam to diagnose that lmao
it shut down
additionally i wanted to check the insulation of the house, and that's about it for actual use
i put new paste last month
everything else would be just "for fun"
did the cooler work fine with the cpu previously?
ya
true
i wonder if i just paste it
BRUH
whats your cooler?
what thermal paste did you use?
#general-chat message cold air intake lol,
you either have a bad contact or your heatsink is clogged or smth for this to happen
it could potentially be running dry? or low flow? or low fluid level? idk
make sure you tightened all the screws enough first
most coolers are designed to bottom out when screwed properly
If you just repasted it recently and it's still not working it's likely failed. Lian li had some series recalled and it might be in warranty even if it's not one of those.
Ok I'll check with mine then either that or unknown windows 11 bug 
I was wondering if a fail aio could give out a false speed reading
The pump can say it's spinning but that doesn't mean it's working. There can be other problems like gunked up microfins too.
Ruins the thermal transfer from the CPU into the water.
is there much hot air coming out of the heatsink
theoretically if the cpu is that hot, the aio heatsink should be dumping out hot air
if it isnt, then somehwhere along the line, heat isnt being transferred properly
james bond reference
Yeo Jesus loves y'all and he want a relationship with you
hey I unincluded the contact details
what if its a sheet of periphral reccomendation
like the HE keyboard list
or case recomendation
then at least say what it is in the message. if someone I don't see here much posts a link with nothing else i'm prob gonna auto delete or ban out of suspicion
oh cool
Pipes? We don't need pipes where we're going
Where we're going we don't need roads...
I'm trying not to get copyright striked
They are going to send the strike teams now
Thanks
the roads here are so skrunkly rn because the plows tore them up on god
(they'll be fixed before next winter when they'll get torn apart again)
fixing the roads in canada is like sisyphus
you fix it and then it breaks again
they tend to patch it for like 5 years and then after 5 years when the patches have made the road quite bumpy, they tear out the whole road and repave it
5 ish years, i didnt keep count exactly
i find it weird that the roads in my smaller town tends to have better road surfaces than literally like downtown
some of the roads in downtown toronto are straight up questionable
It's the same here. Seattle is terrible, Tacoma is terrible, out here in the exurbs everything is well maintained.
My bad bro
More expensive to close roads in the city. More/heavier traffic. More crap buried under the road making it have a weaker foundation.
that's fair i guess
if i live in the city and drive, i'd much rather go a few days with worse traffic than live with shitty roads though lmao
it's such a contrast whenever i go downtown because the roads are generally nice up until then 💀
I hope not
That’d be me cheating on my wife
It does for some things for sure, and it would also work a lot better if I was on Linux instead of windows. I just don't know if I would trust them enough yet to put my income on the line is all

I wonder if there are keyboards made fully of carbon fiber
why would you want that
there's a reason why most keyboards have a metal plate in them even if the case is made of plastic
but carbon fiber doesnt have any benefits for a keyboard case
you could probably argue that the keycaps could make a difference but you wouldnt want to be using like 3d printed carbon fiber either, so you'd have to make them with the sheets, and get some resin or whatever
For chinese new years the money is gonna get me

Would be funny if steam machine has better upscaling than rdna 3 gpus
Xess( non intel gpus) alr has so it's not unlikely
Don't the 304/5 use AA and not triple a
you can get a adapteer
But why
20 grams lighter
welp I think I finally got my pcvr working again
nice and easy too. only took getting a dedicated wifi router, switching to linux, taking steamvr out of the equation, and reinstalling a few games
There was a website where you like journal what games someone previously played
Does anyone know what that is
a game tracker?
the obsession with lightweightness with mice is interesting to me
i guess it's nice to have less weight since it means there's less momentum that lingers in rapid movements
but i simply don't play those games, or enjoy em. so i suppose i'd never understand the obsession
yeah I kinda get it but also don't. Since I started using my desk setup more often I switched to a heavier, slightly more ergonomic mouse
less weight typically means less material, so the quality in the mouse is also lost
unless that mouse is like a carbon fiber one
Ykw is weighty tho
I'm just really sick of competitive games so it's much less of a priority. I'll ocassionally jump on OW but that's basically all the comp games I play a handful of times a month

Officially licensed for the PlayStation®5 console, the WD_BLACK™ SN850P NVMe™ SSD allows you to store more titles with worry-free installation.
I found the website I had in mind it's called Backloggd
comp games make me lose my patience and get angry easily, so i'm automatically put off by the genre
I am yet to use something lighter than my Asus harpe ace extreme which is 37g so I wouldn't know but it is a big improvement over my previous 100g corsair mouse
i just wish that logitech would start using buttons that last longer than 2 years
i don't wanna spend like 30 bucks every 2-3 years
Wbt pvp 
I feel like all those communities have just become so toxic or, in the case of league, always been toxic. I just want to have some fun
if it's less then 50 grams i hate it and i'm trying to make the most of my G304
rn
Comp games have unrated modes which is more for casuals
I'm gonna order a Custom Pulsar X2 V2 soon
i find those comp games with unranked modes to be annoying though
even casual matches. when im playing ow today people in casual lobbies are still getting so angry over nothing
because non-casual players could still be hopping into said matches
i moved to lithium ion aa battery on my g304
it seems to be noticeably lighter
but idk how much exactly
g304x is 52 grams iirc
but that one got rid of the aa battery slot
not buying a new mice from logitech
G304 is the last logitech mice i'll eber buy
just speaking for reference
yeah
20??? It's like 10 grams at most lighter no?
i''m also giving my G304 a honeycomb stuff
wrong numbers
if it gets under 80 grams my G304 can be carried by mouse skates and mouse padd
Hmm
BF6
Wasn't Arc Raiders PVE
Initial concept yes
i need reccomendation for shooters outside of BF6 and Arc
But they sucked at making the enemies
So they added pvp to give the game density
Shroud wanted it to be goty iirc
Not saying it is a bad game but it showed that the range of games Shroud plays is low
again
doesn't he really just only play shooters?
Last year there were a bunch of great games but arc raiders is fantastic i believe it won an award too
Cs2
ew no]
Expedition 33 was the correct game to win goty but I am still a bit bummed it also won rpg of the year
There aint any more quality shooters then
i happen to lack 20 dollarz
Same kcd2 shouldve gotten rpg
Then get 20 dollars somehow or someway
Also arc is only 20?
yeah
I bought it for 40 
Its not on sale rn too prolly
@elfin mural i saw people saying that 55 grams was a brick once

Is it bad that my only pc knowledge comes from meta pcs
What is that
Yt channel
can't say I've heard of that channel
Me neither
These guys
Most of my initial PC knowledge came from ltt though back in like 2016 or somewhere around that
I remember checking their website and they had mega overpriced prebuilts before rammagedon
Worse than origin?
Idk abt origin 💀
Origin is like the og of overpriced pcs
They sold like subscription upgrades
You subscribe and they upgrade your PC for free (with the subscription)
That was back during like the Nvidia 10 series though
Meta who
Yeah overpriced even with current ram prices
Not necessarily but I would be somewhat wary of taking all your advice from a PC building business
Because their incentive is to make as much money as they can
Would it be possible to get a pc that can run vtol vr under 1300 dollars
Yes
It seems most of their youtube content revolves around tidbits of pc hardware history and news and advice like this
Fails to mention that many of the 3rd party steam key sites are greymarket keys

guess gaming is becoming more expensive so buying a cheap PS4 to jailbreak is really good
the console alone has tons of games to play
and still counting
90% of the ps5 games are from the PS4 ong frfr
Hm
when it gets so bad that PS4 will gain extra support
My cousin bought a ps5 to play PS4 games
He doesn't have a single ps5 exclusive

💀
Real
you know whats the craziest thing, its that we still got games running on a AMD modified FX cpu
Gaming is flying…
Yes
Most of those games prolly dont even have 60 fps modes
Or updated graphics
And if they do they prolly charge extra for it
thats the worst part about it
Realistically you aren't gonna find many deals on 100% legit steam keys other than on steam or bundle sites
PS5 is a nothingburger due to long dev cycles
Fanatical and gmg bro
Cause then the dev is paying a cut both to steam and the 3rd party site. They'd rather just sell on steam
Yeah there's a couple but nothing crazy like grey market keys
at the end of the day its all digital, you'll own nothing

Console gaming seems incredibly bad value long term ngl… atleast if u get a game on steam u have the option to run it at better frames and img quality in the future with better hardware
That is unless the studio or publisher delists the game
Right but would you rather support the devs or credit card scammers?
Pcmr
fair enough, i need my devs fed
💰
Pretty sure I saw a dev somewhere say it's better to pirate than buy greymarket keys. Forget where tho
I dont think the isthereanydeal website lists any greymarket key stores 
PC will always stay on top but i can't deny that people who own and still use a PS4 since 2013 aren't getting value out of it long term
I think that was the ultrakill dev
I've seen some devs who admit that they've pirated games before they made their own and aren't really bothered when users pirate their game
if anything the user will likely buy the game later if they like it
The only ones who are bothered by games being pirated are the executives of the studios or publishers the games are from
Especially japanese ones
Looking at u capcom
Hence anti-pirating software like Denuvo
Sega does it too
And now that they removed denuvo from re4 they added an even shittier drm with significant performance decrease
saw a couple posts about it, that is just scummy af
Its capcom
Didn't update mines yet
Look at how they massacred monster hunter and dragons dogma
but i know i cant run the build or it'll trigger the update maybe
Can’t u pause updates?

yes

How tf are these small ass two slot cards sagging?
Heavy wires

Nah some people def go too far trying to make cables look clean and forget abt giving them some slack
I honestly wonder how bad the diamond market would crash if you found that many diamonds precut buried under the ground
We already have synthetic diamonds, but the people were careful to regulate them to keep the market prices up
But if you suddenly came over with like 100000 giant pre cut diamonds, the diamond market would fall so flat that it might not ever recover
It'll fall harder than INTC
My laptop cables are so stiff from -20c on god
The window is frozen shut
I can't open it
Ykw else would fall
Your nuts

who else thought this was funny
I wonder now it was aio failure
I just turned my pc on and started this. And was gone whole day till now
why are all the other values blank
Don't know, there always blank for me
That'd never happen because one company controls 65% of the global raw natural diamond industry
It used to be 85% but they had to allow some slippage due to antitrust lawsuits in the US
If someone found a large natural deposit De Beers comes knocking
You can update your chipset driver and it might fix the blank sections, also update hwinfo.
If that's idle the temps seem like you have a dead aio.
i mean, that's the thing
they control it by limiting supply, but what if some independent person suddenly found thousands of cut diamonds (because the games always for some reason show cut diamonds), and then just started selling them everywhere (for a low price), by the time they notice, it may be too late to do anything
hell, you could sell them as synthetic diamonds or whatever and still make a bunch of money off of it
Ya rip while it lasted
but this theoretical situation is nigh impossible
there is no way that much cut diamonds would just be buried
💀
Suddenly some mercenaries would show up at their door
Debeers and other jewelers have huge stockpiles of diamonds. Even adding plentiful, not dug up by slave children, synthetic diamonds doesn't tank the market because people are weird.
if its been sold, it's not like killing the person who found it would make the prices go back up
One person can not sell such large quantities of diamonds in a short enough period
Keep in mind, the primary buyers will be people who need real, natural diamond and they usually also want to know where the diamonds came from so that they don't get into legal or PR trouble
Meaning you'd also have to get documentation done
What if u sell just enough diamonds to set up a corp and then sell even more diamonds but control the flow for maximum profit
Wait
if you sell it as synthetic or imitation, you could probably sell way more with less documentation
This is why aios scare me

I should have just gotten that noctua to make my build cleaner
its also been 4 years since then
and then the buyers may get it appraised or whatever (or i guess some may be thrown out but that doesn't really matter) and at that point, if they find out its real diamonds, the diamonds would have spread far and wide enough that you couldnt get rid of them entirely
"Lian Li offers free replacements, even if the unit is out of warranty."
So that's nice
Synthetic diamonds already are priced way lower than natural diamonds
And the people buying natural diamonds are not going to buy synthetic
Which is kinda the whole point of undercutting the natural diamond market
if you found that many diamonds, it's not like you really lose much by selling it as synthetic/artificial
way lower risk of being found out and realistically diamonds are not worth much asides from artificial scarcity
Synthetic diamonds have different people buying them
Synthetic diamonds are usually bought in bulk by industry for industrial purposes
Real diamonds will be sought after by diamond sellers, jewellers and watchmakers
Oh for manufacturing right
my point is just being having so many spread around and eventually being found out to be real could have some effect, but idk
they would be precut as well so it's not like the typical artificial diamonds which are just small crystal chunks
Ngl those i kind of wonder what people used to cut the first diamonds
diamonds are cut with iron
Wait fr?
Not cutters made of diamond?
Bruh why couldn’t my 8th grade science teacher answer that to me
The problem is that the people buying synthetic diamonds generally don't care if they end up being real so very few people would notice
Checking is usually for the opposite scenario
I.e. someone buying natural diamonds and checking to make sure it isn't synthetic
The most industrial buyers will do is make sure it is in fact diamond
just start sprinkling diamonds everywhere ong
Chinese studios are super stingy with sales aren’t they
Imagine they grind up overtime to be so fine that a new respiratory disease comes about
well
they make them smaller by scoring them with another diamond afaik and then hammering it basically
but then they polish them with iron wheels (maybe with some abrasive)
sold out
how do you sell out a digital license
Keycards
oh
No loss there
Absolute slog of a game
Looks pretty tho
And decent combat
because of the forced minigames
they keycards sold out, these people are dumb as rocks
physical or not, they have to download 102 GB to their Switch 2
you have blood, right? you can get money in about 2 hours
Its cuz u dont skip breakfast
I skip breakfast
I rely on food stamps and food pantry to feed myself lmao

I eat twice a day
Small meals
I've been there man, if I were close I'd send you a pizza
There’s a subreddit for that
I’ve donated a pizza once
I’m right across the street from a dominoes lmao
Dominoes huh…
professional guesser right here
When i was a kid like 13 years old home situation was terrible (still is but i have some semblance of control over myself now) “dad” would be drunk all day while i was in school and mom was in work i would come back home at like 3 and mom a bit later, would be stuck in my room basically hiding from my dad lol not even eating anything and when he would go out mom would call me and tell me to order a pizza (dominos in this case) from her credit card
That’s some trauma
Legit survived on dominoes for some months 
could be worse
Ok so apparently u can add these items to ur cart in microcenter’s website and bundle pricing will apply, its not one of their listed bundles
Wait forgot the first pic
Yup
These three items
Now the crust is even blander, breaks easily when still hot and rises less during cooking
It does crisp up better though so I guess that is something 
You aren’t missing out on much by skipping breakfast
Dang it newegg
i bought a case from newegg through ebay and it came with severe damage to the bottom, as if someone hit it with a rock or hammer
my bad
i got angry
@grand wasp Is neweggservice up or should I just dm you
What can newegg do to reimburse
Tall ass case

Damaged af too
I hadnt noticed
Can u return it?
Return and get a lancool
thats where i bought itt

lol
Around double
yeah heck nah
this is a budget atx build case
Or in this case (pun intended) its a bludgeoned atx build case
This is brand new from newegg, atx, 49 bucks
Phantex has an atx for 49 too i think
Ok looks like its 50 after a mail in rebate 60 without a bit annoying ngl https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-mid-tower-steel-chassis-tempered-glass-window-abs-plastic-computer-case-black-ph-xt523p1-bk01/p/N82E16811854132
And no fans cept that back exhaust
What the hell there’s this for 50 bucks 40 with rebate https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-micro-atx-cases-steel-chassis-tempered-glass-window-abs-plastic-window-abs-plastic-black-ph-ec370a-dbk01/p/N82E16811854145
Hmm looks like u gotta fill a form and they send a check
Yeah Ive been looking at that one too
maybe after this
Rebates pretty sure are put in place to make it seem like the customer is getting a good deal but the companies hope that they forget about it
Thats why instead of a straight discount they do this form and mail in bs
Only thing with this is that its massive
compared to the one i got
doggy climbed into my chair
Looks like my old dog twinkie
Old dog?

Dw she didnt die
but she was a rescue and lashed out too many times so she went back to the shelter



Reminds me of the time my history professor showed the class a slide with a pic of a cute lil marmot in it and she was like “see this cute lil marmot cute right? U wanna pet and cuddle it right?”
And the entire class was like yeah
And then she was like
wait same
Well ur gonna contract the bubonic plague
i have a birthday in 2026
easily survivable with modern medicine at least
@elfin mural https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/s/iIuwaocVPT
Worth it ngl
It was only so deadly anyways because people back then had a standard practice of being filthy savages that didn't medicine. Also no antibiotics but filthy savages is funnier 
Antibiotics alone brought fatality rates down to 11%
bro same
whats long dark?
back then they thought things like bad smells spread disease
(and that was one of the more sane beliefs)
but also hindsight 20/20
Super realistic survival game
The Long Dark is one of the most unique survival games ever made for PC on Steam. It combines survival mechanics with harsh environments and realistic survival conditions. In this video we're gonna go through all the gameplay, pros/cons and everything you need to know before deciding if The Long Dark is worth buying for you in 2025.
The world ...
@craggy shoal what type of display do u have inside ur case?
This emphasizes the type of game it is
You never can really overpower the mechanics of the game
Goddamn
Hope fromsoft doesn’t get any ideas from this 
It’s been out for a long time
It's like around 10 years old at this point it feels like
Yeah even longer
Full release was 2017 but early access was 2014
Muh 5080’s acting weird, thing is consuming less power than a 5070
Doing a 2560x1440p benchmark and with dlss on balanced power draw is like really low
Don't have it in my case anymore but it was a generic 7"(?) HDMI screen with a custom 3D printed mount. The mount was basically a "screen-to-120mm" adapter
Mouthwashing benchmark ong
Great
👍
how many frames do u get on urs with path tracing and dlss at balanced?
I have my game set to 2560x1440p rn and getting abt 70 without fg
game looks utterly insane with pt lol
genuinely might have to do another playthru
Final mistake in their trucking career

i just have to force close the game, the game itself stops responding, ive checked intrefity of files, updated driver, unchecked the last 4 cores of cpu
updated windows
