i dont think they use the same sensor.

My mobo was reporting that before it croaked

#

It happens

queen briar
#

your mobo died?

#

Ye

velvet summit
#

as a sanity check, you did take the plastic off the aio coldplate right

queen briar
#

hmmm i dont wanna spend another 450 on a mobo

velvet summit

Black Desert uses the precursor version of the same exact engine and can be played with Arc, there was no reason for it to be completely incompatible to the point it didn't launch

rancid juniper
#

did one of the devs hold a grudge or was their competitor's bag too good to ignore?

they've done so badly that even redditors became reasonable

opaque sedge
#

Hmm i’m over 2hrs of gameplay

velvet summit
#

you could still request for a steam refund

#

the 2 hour policy is just no questions asked

opaque sedge
#

If i make a refund ticket their automatic system will likely reject me

#

Imma try making a question ticket

nocturne flicker
#

They only auto reject after 2hrs and 2 weeks iirc

velvet summit
#

they don't auto reject if you give a reason afaik

opaque sedge
#

But not 2 weeks of purchase

opaque sedge

I remember getting rejected from a refund on law breakers

Hmmm

rancid juniper

#

Game runs really well but the sucky part is being forced into basically full path tracing with rr

#

So u really dont have much control over the ray tracing level

rancid juniper
#

Maybe that too can be patched lol

opaque sedge
#

If they can patch that in quickly then i will genuinely be thoroughly impressed

nocturne flicker
#

Maybe they can patch a good story into the game too derpyBlob

opaque sedge
opaque sedge
#

If i had to describe the story of this game

#

It would be like a movie that didn’t delete scenes that needed to be deleted cuz they didn’t wanna make anymore scenes

nocturne flicker
#

It'd be like those Youtube videos where they edit back in the outtakes into tv shows and movies

opaque sedge
#

Sigh guess i gotta pray for that non existent dragons dogma 2 dlc

Funny how 1060 users can run it but not arc at launch

Shit is terrible

I take back anything good I said about the game

#

On benchmarks it looked good but it all got worse each passing day

How's has the PC port of ds2 been doing in comparison

I still haven't launched it because I've been slammed with shit to do

No clue but that game does have incredible render distance

istg if FH6 ends up being pure slop I'm going to lose it

opaque sedge
#

Its all slop jp @dusk knot

#

Its gonna be slop now PepeHands

velvet summit
#

That would be so hilarious

opaque sedge
#

Cuz u jinxed it joker

#

Curses be upon joker for slopping up fh6

velvet summit
#

My favorite game I can trust would not be AI slop though

#

Beamng my beloved

opaque sedge
#

There slopped it up for u

velvet summit
#

Actually

opaque sedge
#

Stop

#

No

#

Dont say it

velvet summit
#

If adding AI could make the traffic in beamng actually drive like a human

tranquil pebble
velvet summit
#

I wouldn't hate it that much

velvet summit
#

Beamng traffic has the worst driving logic

opaque sedge
opaque sedge
velvet summit
#

Could just train it from game data
If they crash, then that is a negative score for that revision

velvet summit
elfin mural
#

the graphics definitely need work tho

#

it's still a bit eh

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

volumetric clouds add a lot of depth

#

beamng i mean

velvet summit
#

Beamng? If you have powerful enough hardware, you could make it look pretty damn good now (some lighting mods also make it alot better)

opaque sedge
#

Eh there’s prolly mods for beamng to make it look better

elfin mural
#

those clouds will have shadows casting onto the ground

velvet summit
#

The next update would improve the sky quite a bit from what it seems though

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

i don't want graphics mods imo

velvet summit
#

Next beamng update very soon

elfin mural
#

a new car is coming too

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

some crossover thing

opaque sedge
#

Are there multiplayer race modes?

velvet summit
#

Beammp is an option

elfin mural
#

there's beammp for that

opaque sedge
#

Or is the game literally just messing around with car physics

opaque sedge
velvet summit
#

Beamng is less of a racing game than a driving physics simulation but you can race in them

#

Mod

opaque sedge
#

Damn

velvet summit
#

Very active though

elfin mural
#

or you can do rallying solo if you don't want to mod the game yet

opaque sedge
#

No campaign?

elfin mural
#

campaign is rudimentary

#

it's wip

velvet summit
#

They tried to make a campaign back in like 2017

opaque sedge
#

But didn’t

velvet summit
#

I'm pretty sure it's abandoned

elfin mural
#

they actually came back to it

opaque sedge
#

why fix smth that isnt broken fr

velvet summit
#

I mean, there's also the WIP career mod but there used to be like a story for beamng or something that they tried to put in or something

tranquil pebble
#

If something isn't broken then break it - Microslop

lone mango
#

Just got my capture card working properly

elfin mural

it's a whole thing where you can take various jobs and participate in various races in the west coast usa map (or is it east? it's the biggest map in beam without mods)

lone mango

We are so back rn

elfin mural

car insurance is a thing

lone mango
velvet summit
elfin mural
#

crashes are very expensive

opaque sedge
velvet summit
#

Also yeah west coast

elfin mural
#

and you can upgrade your cars

velvet summit
#

Actually west coast might be the biggest now with the expansion

elfin mural
#

it's fun for short bursts

velvet summit
#

Yeah

#

It's fun to just pop into

opaque sedge
velvet summit
#

Official

elfin mural
#

it's the official one

velvet summit
#

There is a mod to expand it though

opaque sedge
#

Damn sounds cool

elfin mural
#

the mod is paid but it's amazing

opaque sedge
#

No wonder the game is on overwhelmingly positive

elfin mural
#

my laptop can't handle it tho

#

the map is massive

velvet summit
#

Wait it's paid now?

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

the full version, yes

#

free version is the map only

opaque sedge
#

Is it monthly subscription or one time fee?

elfin mural
#

paid mods are legal as long as there's no copyrighted materials

opaque sedge
#

The skyrim dlss mod is a monthly sub

elfin mural
#

like a map mod with fictional brands are fine

velvet summit
#

They're also frowned upon unless it's really high effort and makes sense to be paid

#

Even then it's kinda controversial

unpopular opinion
nfs the run is the best need for speed

opaque sedge

I might actually have to start that non slop game company in my lifetime ngl

To save gaming

velvet summit

Who is milestone srl

elfin mural
#

it's cinematic and linear, but it has a storyline that honestly makes sense

rancid juniper

the avalanche escape scene is exhilarating

the first nfs game i have played was underground 2

opaque sedge

and that was good, but the lack of fast travel sucks

Simply just a different era

opaque sedge

Sigh we’ll likely get good AA and indie games but like the big stuff

We’re prolly gonna get none quality wise

ai for concept art is fine

opaque sedge
#

Give me gameranx or mortismal

elfin mural
#

it's just there to give an idea of the art direction

rancid juniper
queen briar
#

im actually happy for that one

elfin mural
#

as long as it isn't used in the final production, i find it okay tbh

opaque sedge
rancid juniper
elfin mural
#

ai is a tool to assist processes

queen briar
#

companies dont see it that way

elfin mural
#

sadly

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

they see it as a human replacement

rancid juniper
#

alright im going to sleep, night yall

queen briar
#

Everytime you allow AI to be used, its another step closer

opaque sedge
#

Dont sleep

#

Stay awake

elfin mural
#

concept art is early art

rancid juniper
#

1 am goes crazy

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

when humans still draw the actual art in the end product

rancid juniper
#

nah i'd hopepost

elfin mural
#

does it harm anyone?

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

concept arts are concepts for ideas

rancid juniper
#

ok cya

elfin mural
#

they're not used in the final product

queen briar
#

today is a concept art of script drafting. then its placeholder textures and mocels. then its placer holder voicing acting

elfin mural
#

having placeholders allow a lot more freedom to see the whole picture without wasting a lot of dev time too

opaque sedge
queen briar
#

then once it trains enough placer holder art, itll help make regular art, and then itll replace senior devs who dont use it with new devs who use the tools more actively.

elfin mural
#

as long as they get replaced with human made assets later

#

ai use is fine

elfin mural
elfin mural
#

i just hate the trend that companies are trying to replace all human workforce with gen ai

#

some usage is honestly fine imo, but to entirely replace all processed with an llm is bad

opaque sedge
#

Hmm idk feels like if they depend on it too much they may be influenced by the AI and end up making slopwork themselves

#

Cuz humans can still absolutely make slop

#

Look at ubisoft and ea

elfin mural
#

yes, but if the end product comes out good

queen briar
elfin mural
#

it's where i'd say is okay

#

if the end product is still made by ai, hell no

opaque sedge
#

Has it yet?

elfin mural
#

like crimson desert

#

ai generated textures

#

the art in the picture frames featured in the game are also ai slop

queen briar
#

you make me want to go looking at the websites ads

elfin mural
#

they just bash the devs for using ai during the concept art phase

#

and using placeholders

opaque sedge
queen briar
opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

maybe.. crimson desert was vibe coded?

#

with the arc support suddenly being "fixed" lol

queen briar
#

sandfalls interactives nest game will use more AI, but they wont admit to it.

queen briar
elfin mural
#

i guess

opaque sedge
#

They’re def using AI

queen briar
#

some products dont ship with that support fully

elfin mural
#

im skeptical since the condition of the game already have signs of ai

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

signs of ai used in the final production stage

#

literally look at the pictures in the game

opaque sedge
#

I legit dont think this game has deleted content and not for a good reason

elfin mural
#

i hate that we have now come to this age where games have to be scrutinized down to every single texture

#

it's no fun

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

70 bucks for what is a dumpster fire is sad

opaque sedge
#

Gonna wait for what steam support says on my ticket first

elfin mural
#

id rather feed my art addiction than buying slop games

at least i get to support human artists

opaque sedge

yeah, i love getting art of my fursonas

queen briar
#

Half of them use AI to make the art now.

elfin mural
#

yeah, i only get digital art

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

i know what to look for to prevent from running into ai slop posers

opaque sedge
#

Image generators are becoming scarily good

queen briar
#

Like the artist who traced over AI art to make it her own?

elfin mural
#

im rather picky

#

i only hire artists who i 100% know do not use any ai

#

i even watched some of em draw live

opaque sedge
#

Most of my sketches from like nearly 8 years ago are still incomplete sadly

queen briar
#

I'd gladly pay someone $100 to draw me stuff and I'll help them improve.

dusk knot
#

Huh

opaque sedge
#

Think i was like 13 when i drew this never bothered improving in like so much i could have improved like the depth work here is really weak

#

And the inconsistent strokes

elfin mural
#

100? that's standard pricing for furry art in general

#

or art tbh

#

for freelancers

opaque sedge
#

Lol maybe i should grab an ipad

i draw

#

not well but i draw

elfin mural

opaque sedge

i just don't have the passion or patience

dusk knot
#

I can draw

dense locust
#

then you dont wish you could draw

elfin mural

fair enough

more of a want i suppose

not a wish

opaque sedge

Quick question

#

Wait I forgot my question

#

Oh yeah

#

Is a 14 inch 3K portable monitor easier to run then a 27inch 1440p?

ashen swan
#

So

#

Is that a yes or no?

velvet summit
icy ore
#

Yeah it’s dictated by pixel count not screen size

#

A 27” 1440p monitor has the same pixel count as a 50” 1440p

#

So on so forth

a socket that only lasts two generations

that's my main gripe with intel

and honestly, who can even afford ddr5 without ripping a new one out of their wallet nowadays?

i would've been more excited had ram prices not been in the ruins

that's for the future, and im glad to see the news tbh

but the 200 series refresh isn't on that future socket

Impressive if I compare it to the 245k and not the 9600x

worn night
elfin mural
#

not sure

#

i have stopped closely following tech news about new releases

cause only 245k - 285k

Wasn't expecting this but the hwub summary for the refresh is relatively positive

worn night
#

intel got really close to the highest perf and then marked down the price a ton

IF it stays at msrp

elfin mural

they gotta win in some way somehow, so the price drop is very much a way to tackle amd

worn night
#

it shouldnt be like gpus cause no board partners right...?

elfin mural
#

yeah, but if demand is high. the price could go up

frigid stag
#

why dont they just release the 12 core

#

instead of wasting time with glued shit

worn night
#

what if they have a secret 12 core and it doesnt perform better

frigid stag
#

should be better than e cores

#

12 p cores 6ghz

worn night

quantity over speed right

#

as long as both are close

frigid stag
#

they have both

#

14900ks is 6.2 but would rather have 12c 6ghz than 8 6.2

worn night
#

maybe the guy who found out how to do 6.2ghz kept it to himself

and then died

so they have to crack the code again

how does that happen

if u drop cpu

obtuse pike

well

#

thermal paste dropped into am5 socket

#

tryna remove it with isopropyl alcohol and accidentally bent it

velvet summit
#

you probably could have just left it there

bitter ridge
#

Good chance you could have used the board if you didn't do anything and pressed the cpu despite some paste being there

velvet summit
#

there are people who have tested if thermal paste in the cpu socket helped with cooling at all for shits and giggles and the cpu still worked fine despite the socket intentionally being filled with thermal paste, so a tiny bit of accidental thermal paste probably isnt a concern

elfin mural
#

modern thermal paste is almost never made with conductive material anyway

worn night

LTT did a video of dark pc thoughts and completely filled a socket with paste

it still worked

PSA: Discord does not care if you use a client mod, and if you are the kind of person who reports people for using them, you are the problem, not us. you are just another snitch, and you make no difference.

velvet summit
#

the thing is

frigid stag
velvet summit
#

you're in a public discord with like 10k members

#

just one person just needs to report it

frigid stag
#

just zip about it

#

no one will know

velvet summit
#

yeah just don't say anything

#

i haven't used a client mod in years but like, i don't care personally what people get up to

#

but there's so many random people that you shouldn't be showing proof that you are using a client mod on discord in case somebody just feels like reporting you or whatever idk

#

because nobody has been reporting you probably

royal crow
#

even if they were it wouldn't matter

#

because guess what

#

discord has never done anything about client mods

#

ever

velvet summit
#

that is factually incorrect

#

though they might be less strict about it nowadays

#

but back in the slightly earlier days (like 2019 or such), discord did ban accounts that have shown evidence of using client mods

#

i've had a few friends that had to make a new acc because their old account was banned for it 💀

#

which was why i even stopped using it in the first place lmao

royal crow
#

i'll just buy discord in a couple decades anyway and then ban anyone whoi reports them

velvet summit
#

bro

royal crow
#

(the tos will, of course, remain unchanged)

velvet summit
#

if you buy discord you could just allow client mods

royal crow
#

oh i will

velvet summit
#

a fair bit of platforms allowed it

royal crow
#

i'll just ban anyone who reports people for using client mods

velvet summit
#

i'm not entirely sure why discord doesn't like client mods as long as it follows the ratelimit rules

actually yeah that

velvet summit
#

well, originally it's like 100mb max or something like that for full nitro, but they increased it to 500mb which was extra nice so i aint complaining about that

though nitro basic is basically useless

#

@velvet summit you think a bios setting can make the sensor give bad results

velvet summit
#

i'd doubt it? but i know that sometimes sensors may report incorrectly if multiple software are trying to read from it at the same time

queen briar
#

its weird how i turned it on from being off over night, and it immediately went up to 77°

#

the actual aio screen stays on while pc is off and was reporting 33c

#

eerytime i load it hwinfo, it tells me it pulling from the aio

#

so im wondering if the AIO sensor is fault or not

no way that actually uploaded

#

oh wait boosting exists nvm

(stupidly huge color map of the earth i use for stuff)

velvet summit
queen briar
#

no i jsut switched it to F

#

it was 77c

velvet summit

i games on it last night, it never went above 182

wrapping that? good luck because you'll need it

if you're able to disassemble all the panels, you could get it directly printed on or hydrodipped but wrapping a pc case with that many holes.... it's not worth the effort

so starforge is on par with other pre-builts, but is better.
