[rancid juniper]

[plush path]

Frame gen*

Awww

[bitter ridge]

I decided to go 1440p dlss quality+ everything maxed out with rt +mfg 3x

[rancid juniper]

3x seems overkill for a racing game ngl, 2x should be enough in your case lol

though i haven't considered your monitor's refresh rate

As long as it looks fine

[waxen saddle]

i have a ryzen 7 9800xrd and 5070ti and my minecraft drops to 1fps once a day

i have to restart my game to fix it

There was Minecraft ray tracing demo on series x but that never got anywhere

[neat plover]

Top or bottom

[proud jackal]

I'm poor

[royal crow]

Ray tracing that was downright balls and was beaten by most RT/PT shaders even at the time of release

[proud jackal]

And get it right it's 720p @720hz

😎

[royal crow]

Rethinking Voxels isn't even RT and it still looks better in most scenarios

[proud jackal]

(no I don't use the 720p mode)

[royal crow]

SEUS PTGI has been out for longer than even that and it's better lol

Help meeee

[topaz crown]

Hello @neat plover! It appears that you're asking for help. If you need help with building a PC, consider tagging <@&525119001324683264>, or if you need some help navigating to a specific channel(i.e. our #anime or #build-pics chats), you'll be able to find them in the channel list on the left!

[proud jackal]

Don't get innocn

[worn wave]

Can't even tell the Hz of the Asus from the photo. If you want people to help you, at least take the time to copy paste the two model numbers into your message

[bitter ridge]

It's 280hz

[worn wave]

I'd probably compare the oled panel generations too and make sure the innocn isn't some crap gen1/2

I went to my super rich aunts house(she doesn’t spend any money and lives frugal)

She gave me breadsticks

[velvet summit]

thin breadsticks? if the size of the package is as it looks on camera, it's like just slightly thicker than a pencil per stick? assuming it's 2 breadsticks in the package

💀

[neat plover]

I got this

[proud jackal]

But is it 540hz

[dusk knot]

If he’s not playing CS all day, there’s no need

280 is plenty smooth

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

[sinful blade]

Theres like 8, they’re thin as hell

[velvet summit]

damn

[sinful blade]

[velvet summit]

I mean
You'll notice pretty quickly

Why does my ram not have all the ram

[elfin mural]

hard to notice if the sticks have a heat spreader

if it's on ebay, at least you can file a report i guess

Ouch out of stock even if in stock it would cost $3600

[velvet summit]

[bitter ridge]

Ig but I was interested since it might be the thinnest panther lake model

[lethal jasper]

I think i should get a matte protector so it looks better, right? @craggy shoal

[craggy shoal]

Maybe. I hate the gloss look

[heady plinth]

Depends. Do you often use it with ambient light? Do you like dark mode and/or low brightness? Then matte would likely be better for you.

thats because hes ultra rich enough were taxes dont leave a scratch like lesser billionaires lol

[nocturne flicker]

Old news

[dusk knot]

good for jensen

[nocturne flicker]

He doesn't care because the tax is nothing to him

And reasonably it should be the same for the rest

[dusk knot]

but for him its nothingER

[nocturne flicker]

Of course they won't be like that and they'll go ahead and spend more than the tax would take to lobby against the tax

[dusk knot]

Theo has even less of worry than Jensen

[nocturne flicker]

Or Theo_Poor either way

[dusk knot]

[dusk knot]

that FILTHY PC needed a cleaning months ago

[nocturne flicker]

(I already did a brief dusting on my lunch break)

[lethal jasper]

make sure to do it in a closed room like i do

[dusk knot]

dusting or dusting?

[lethal jasper]

both

[dusk knot]

why would you do the first one? smh

[lethal jasper]

quantum dusting

[lethal jasper]

what do u think of my drive name

[dusk knot]

totally not counterintuitive

[nocturne flicker]

I actually did because I was too lazy to take the pc outside and give it a proper dusting. So now the dust is just in my room instead

[lethal jasper]

ill dust it when my package arrives and i do funny cable management stuff

[dusk knot]

I'm a bit concerned

[lethal jasper]

what

its portable

and its a 1tb drive

smh

[dusk knot]

nvm

brain...damnit

[dusk knot]

spelling error

[lethal jasper]

where

it says portable on my mac

[dusk knot]

its "portable"

[lethal jasper]

windows is just weird and doesnt acccept dashes in drive names

its supposed to be por-table

yk for the funnies

[dusk knot]

oh

[lethal jasper]

WHYYY

[dusk knot]

[lethal jasper]

went from 20 seconds to 2 seconds

god bless usb 3.0

and by god i mean intel cus they made the usb

[velvet summit]

[lethal jasper]

yea

it didnt work

pop portabl

[dusk knot]

what were you thinking?

[grand kernel]

bruh i updated my radeon driver from 26.3.1 to 26.5.2 and got a new bug

[velvet summit]

what do you think

[lethal jasper]

what gpu

[dusk knot]

the NSFW stuff right

[grand kernel]

turning on instant replay makes games unplayable and for some reason my radeon software refuses to work on my second monitor when it's on

[grand kernel]

9070xt

[lethal jasper]

dam

[velvet summit]

it could be

[lethal jasper]

mid replay smh

[dusk knot]

lmao

[lethal jasper]

replay them in your heart fr

[grand kernel]

radeon software works fine on first, third, and fourth monitors, but if i put it on the second monitor it automatically moves itself to my first monitor after 2 seconds

[lethal jasper]

no i will not update my gpu drivers

[neat plover]

when opening my tandem woled should i keep away from tou ching the screen as much as possiblew

[grand kernel]

and yeah

legit unplayable with instant replay on

[lethal jasper]

genshin impact 😭

[grand kernel]

and what about it

[neat plover]

is thjis a benchmark

[grand kernel]

no

[lethal jasper]

son

[grand kernel]

just radeon software metrics tab

[lethal jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/son-im-crine-son-im-crine-gif-5176045023480767429

[neat plover]

oh

whats ur gpu

[grand kernel]

this game should not be unplayable on a 9070xt 💀

guess i have no choice but to roll back my driver to 26.3.1

[neat plover]

5080 on top

[grand kernel]

both sides have terrible driver updates recently so pick your poison lol

[lethal jasper]

why do u need instant replay tho

[grand kernel]

???

why do i want a feature of my gpu that worked yesterday to work today

[lethal jasper]

doesnt answer the question but ok

[neat plover]

i hope my oled screen comes undefected

[grand kernel]

...because i use it?

what kind of answer are you looking for

[lethal jasper]

idk pal im doing fine

on a lower grade gpu

dont upgrade ig go back to the latest stable version

[grand kernel]

well yes

I literally just said I'm reverting

[worthy meteor]

idk I think AMD got on the letting AI write drivers bandwagon

[lethal jasper]

cool

revert

[grand kernel]

it's just disappointing that both sides are putting out terrible driver updates

[lethal jasper]

intel in the corner

[grand kernel]

it's a pain to revert as well

[lethal jasper]

ddu

[grand kernel]

because I have to hunt down the combined igpu + dgpu driver

which is somewhat hidden

[neat plover]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTko8MNJA/ so happy i got the tandem one

[lethal jasper]

idk i never had a use for instant replay ima just turn it off

just like

wait for reddit to say that the update is good

before updating

[grand kernel]

I really don't care if you have a use for it or not

I'm not sure why you think your opinion matters

[lethal jasper]

i guess bro

[grand kernel]

you clearly don't have faith in driver updates either if you are still on a driver version from last year

so why are you acting this way?

[lethal jasper]

because id rather wait to see it work rather than update and see that it doesnt work

[grand kernel]

ok

and how do people find out that it doesn't work?

by trying it

[lethal jasper]

well yea

[grand kernel]

now I'm sharing that something is wrong with the update and you're sitting here trying to antagonize me for trying it

make it make sense

anyways, I don't care, have a nice day

[worthy meteor]

actually @grand kernel what version are you on? I'm on 26.5.2 with 9070xt with instant replay enabled without any issues rn

[grand kernel]

26.5.2

[worthy meteor]

might just be genshin specific then

[grand kernel]

maybe, I just updated so I haven't tried another game

I'm trying a clean install first before reverting

[worthy meteor]

I've been on 26.5.2 for the past 2 days and haven't had an issue yet so I'd lean towards genshin specific

[lethal jasper]

ive had no issues with 25.12.1 btw so i have no reason to upgrade

[grand kernel]

if it persists after the clean install i'll test it in cyberpunk

good for you man

still don't care

[lethal jasper]

cool

bye pal

[grand kernel]

yup issues persist after clean install and i got a driver timeout after closing the game

lol

two of them back to back

nice

i'll test cyberpunk before i revert

got an instant driver timeout launching cyberpunk

[lethal jasper]

anyone got teardown

[grand kernel]

oh interesting... the game launches fine but driver timeout happens as soon as radeon software tries to show a preview of a clip (when navigating to the recording tab)

preview shows solid green before driver timeout

ok nvm now it just happens when i try to launch radeon software at all

time to revert to 26.3.1 this version is so hilariously broken it's like they didn't even try

[grand kernel]

i managed to get the game and software open by restarting pc and yeah the performance issues are in cyberpunk too

https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1te19gl/new_drivers_break_recording/

looks like i'm not the only one

[worthy meteor]

weird

[lethal jasper]

sirs are you the emperor

should put the radeon logo there it would be funny

[worthy meteor]

The only thing I've clipped recently is modded minecraft which isn't the most demanding but also hasn't crashed

[lethal jasper]

what mods do you use

[worthy meteor]

gtnh

[lethal jasper]

i still havent downloaded forge on my pc its been 5 months since i got it 😭

or is the new normal fabric idk

was gettiing annoying when they started making stuff for fabric and not forge

[grand kernel]

oh i didn't even try to clip anything

the driver crashed 8 times in a row just trying to start radeon software

lol

[worthy meteor]

huh

[grand kernel]

anyways, successfully reverted to 26.3.1

guess I'll wait until 26.6.1 to try again

[lethal jasper]

damn 1.7.10 is still used for mods thats crazy

[worthy meteor]

we shall see

a lot of tech mods still use older versions

[grand kernel]

bruh

[worthy meteor]

newer versions don't add anything that matters for tech and there is already enough progression that vanilla doesn't matter

[grand kernel]

i gotta redo all my settings 🙁

[bitter ridge]

I thought the bicycle on top was a bug at first

[lethal jasper]

is amd fluid motion frames useful

[bitter ridge]

Driver based solutions rarely are

[grand kernel]

well everything works again

I love wasting half an hour because amd can't test their driver updates

[lethal jasper]

should i bother with these

[bitter ridge]

No

HYPR-RX is an amazing idea but would need amazing execution to go along with it which AMD did not

[lethal jasper]

can always uh

180hz Va panel monitor to a 280hz tandem woled monitor

How surprised will I be after switching

🌝

[dusk knot]

Infinitely better contrast, vastly superior pixel response times, better viewing angles, and a richer color space

[neat plover]

R movies gonna be fun

[dusk knot]

Oh and REAL

[neat plover]

Excite me more

[dusk knot]

That's all

Oh uughh

You'll have a competitive edge on other players

PvP anyways

That's all the advantages

[heady plinth]

Worse text clarity and possible gray banding too on the negative side.

[lethal jasper]

crazy

[dusk knot]

I was about to about to say that

[lethal jasper]

180hz 1440p va to 60hz 768p ips 😎

[neat plover]

What’s a good website to test these

[dusk knot]

The grey banding can go away after a few pixel cleaning cycles

[neat plover]

Also what’s chance of me winning the lottery

Hehehehee

[dusk knot]

Idk

It shouldn't be bad

[heady plinth]

It mostly did for me but I returned it anyway. It was too bad to read on. Games and videos looked great though.

[neat plover]

read on?

[heady plinth]

Text doesn't look good. Cleartype didn't help at all. Upping the contrast in the osd did help but not enough.

[dusk knot]

Seems like you didn't give enough time to get acclimated

It's not as bad as he claims

😩

[worthy meteor]

it all depends on the person and the specific panel

ymmv

[heady plinth]

I was also downgrading from a 4k ips instead of upgrading to 1440.

[dusk knot]

Personal experiences differ from person to person?

[heady plinth]

It was the gigabyte version of that same tandem OLED panel though.

[lethal jasper]

i think the clanker did a bad job

If that’s you in the picture now I can see why.

[bitter ridge]

I hear more radeon gpu users than nvdia

What’s happening

[elfin mural]

nvidia still owns the market share

[sinful blade]

It’s not that good of a cpu

It’s worse than a 3600

[velvet summit]

I use a 6750xt

[sinful blade]

Like 7% or something

It’s also OEM

[elfin mural]

it's just that among enthusiasts, amd is more common (up to an extent)

[neat plover]

yea like everyone’s an amd user here and im left only with my nvdia

😭

If someone gives me a 4070 series, I’ll give them my 9060xt 16GB

[royal crow]

Amd better

[elfin mural]

i was making a pun about it

[neat plover]

DLSS

[royal crow]

Fsr

[sinful blade]

Fsr4.1 > dlss 4.5

[velvet summit]

Upscaling honestly still tends to have artifacts
Way way better nowadays but I still notice them whenever stuff gets fuzzy

[royal crow]

And also if your gpu needs upscaling that just means you either should turn down your settings or didn't come prepared

[elfin mural]

fsr 4.1 is vendor agnostic iirc

[sinful blade]

Maybe if nvidia went with more actual hardware performance, I’d recc the 50xx series to customers

But I 100% of the time recc AMD to customers for price/performance

[neat plover]

their gpu case is so nice

[elfin mural]

i personally do prefer nvidia, but i don't mind owning radeon if it means i get better value

amd's pr is a disaster tho

[royal crow]

Value > aesthetic

[sinful blade]

All my games have better nvidia performance
FNV, d2, control.

I picked the wrong gpu.

[neat plover]

I can’t help it sorry

[royal crow]

💔

[sinful blade]

Tetra, you’re rich compared to me lmao

[elfin mural]

it took criticism and backlash to make amd release fsr 4 for older gpus

[velvet summit]

I've already abandoned AMD for Intel in terms of their laptop cpus

[neat plover]

??

[velvet summit]

Bro is in debt

[elfin mural]

amd on laptops tho, i genuinely wanna move to intel

not that it's slow or anything, but it idles high

[velvet summit]

Well idk if debt but definitely edging homelessness

[royal crow]

Intel my beloved

[elfin mural]

panther lake is peak x86 laptop cpu

[neat plover]

bruh yal gotta realize I don’t actually make 6k, 1k goes to saving account every month til im 60 and rest is just accessories

[elfin mural]

unmatched battery life

[neat plover]

that’s down to like 3k

[velvet summit]

I don't agreed with alot of Intel's decisions but amd laptop cpus (at least the one that I used) disappointed me enough to not want to get another laptop amd or Asus product ever again

[sinful blade]

0 goes into mine

[elfin mural]

im avoiding asus too

my tuf a15 has developed a screen issue

it's got one horizontal line on it

[velvet summit]

Damn

[elfin mural]

yeah

[velvet summit]

Though I would prefer that over random ass crashes

[elfin mural]

it's not that easy to notice when i don't look at it

[royal crow]

I make
checks phone
$-0 +4i a month

[velvet summit]

No crash dump

[elfin mural]

but it's definitely a reason for me to not want an asus laptop

the crashes could be the wifi card

amd platform, mediatek wifi

as soon as i stopped using wifi, my random ass crashes went away

[velvet summit]

My laptop has been randomly crashing with no crash dump information and event viewer just says power failure or whatever aka it could be anything
Though the igpu is also dying

[plush path]

But I want max settings!!!!1

[elfin mural]

maybe a wifi card swap is worth a try

[velvet summit]

Nah it happens even with a wired connection

[elfin mural]

oh

[royal crow]

Better pull out the wallet

[elfin mural]

well then ya got the classic asus moment i suppose

[velvet summit]

Doesn't matter if I'm on battery or plugged in
Doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or Ethernet
Doesn't matter if I'm just in word or playing a game

It just randomly does it

[elfin mural]

i had faith in asus cuz their laptops were decent before they got worse

[velvet summit]

It drives me crazy

[elfin mural]

but now they lost a future customer

[velvet summit]

I would care less if I actually was able to know what the cause is

[elfin mural]

would i still recc a tuf laptop to someone? maybe?

[plush path]

Have you updated your WiFi settings? Did anyone suggest that

[velvet summit]

It's honestly kind of a shame since the laptop physically is pretty solid

[elfin mural]

idk, my opinion has been a bit shaky about asus tufs

yeah man, i feel the same with my tuf lmao

it's pretty solidly built

such a shame it's not that good

[velvet summit]

I mean, it happens even if I'm not connected via wifi (no Bluetooth either)

[plush path]

So that's a no?

[neat plover]

4k a month?

[velvet summit]

I haven't changed any specific settings but I've reinstalled windows to try to fix the issues and that did nothing

[royal crow]

Bro did not get the joke

[neat plover]

That’s good bro

Idk what u mean

[elfin mural]

i would kill to make 4k a month

that's some baller income

[neat plover]

what’s the average income

for almost everyone

[velvet summit]

I think that's around minimum wage here assuming the month has 4 full weeks

[elfin mural]

im in thailand

4k a month is a lot of cash

[royal crow]

i is an imaginary number

[elfin mural]

it's a life changing amount

[royal crow]

Equal to the square root of negative 1

[neat plover]

Oh ok

[plush path]

Try looking up the laptop to see if there are any driver updates

[neat plover]

my mom made me work in a restaurant for min wage also

[royal crow]

I don't have a job

[neat plover]

oh

[velvet summit]

Nvm minimum would be still in 3k range

[neat plover]

Yeah

[velvet summit]

There aren't
Actually I did check updates 3 days ago and there was just one update but that didn't change anything

[neat plover]

i make around 1k from working alone

🤪

gotta get those hours up

[velvet summit]

I've long given up trying to figure out why it randomly crashes, I already bought a laptop to replace this

It's been happening for around a year now

It was worse before though
The igpu was having issues at first
After I disabled it, I thought it was fixed, but then a few days later it did the random crashes

[elfin mural]

the asus mystery

[velvet summit]

The igpu crashes were way more frequent though

[lone mango]

yo

[velvet summit]

Crashed pretty frequently, even in bios

[elfin mural]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/colorful-igame-x870e-vulcan-oc-v14/

if colorful, why is it black only?

[neat plover]

bouta get my first ever woled tandem from asus

[velvet summit]

Their monitors are probably fine

Their mobos are prob still fine

[elfin mural]

i don't mind their pc components

they're actually decent

[lone mango]

when someone gets kicked all messages get deleted right

[royal crow]

It's purple

[elfin mural]

a kick? no

[velvet summit]

Their laptops I've had several friends tell me that they've had reliability issues with it more or less

[velvet summit]

Not even a ban will do that

[nocturne flicker]

Minimum wage here at 40 hours per week is 1256.66 a month

[elfin mural]

a ban can do that, but only if the mod chose to delete the messages

[velvet summit]

For a ban, it would only delete up to I believe a month?

[elfin mural]

it can delete all, actually

[velvet summit]

Must be new then

[elfin mural]

just needs a bot

[velvet summit]

Oh

[neat plover]

What

40 a week

🫪

Oh

I read wrong

[nocturne flicker]

Yes, that is called the max you can do on a full time job without overtime pay

[velvet summit]

Well, back in my day when I used dyno for moderation, it wouldn't allow deletion of messages past like a year or something

[elfin mural]

hmm

i see

[velvet summit]

Full time minimum here is I believe around 800

Cad though

A week

(5 day weeks, 8 hour shifts)

[nocturne flicker]

In a month?

Or per week

[velvet summit]

Oh nvm it was lower than that
I had to double check but apparently I wasn't paid minimum
But per month it would still be almost 3k cad

Around 700 usd more a month?

[proud jackal]

We are cattle to fuel capitalism

[velvet summit]

It's still not really a livable wage though nevertheless

[neat plover]

guys

what’s ur gas prices

rn

[velvet summit]

1.76/liter

[neat plover]

Bro

What

$6.6 a gallon

[velvet summit]

4.84usd/gallon

[elfin mural]

oof

[velvet summit]

It's in cad

[neat plover]

it’s 5.84 $ for me

🌝

[velvet summit]

It's not as bad here in Ontario than in Vancouver

[neat plover]

I mean $5.23

[elfin mural]

it's about $5.06/gallon here in thailand

[velvet summit]

After conversions that's around the price of gas in Vancouver BC

[elfin mural]

for 91 octane gas

[velvet summit]

Bro I looked at the recent price history here and I saw that somehow the average price for regular grade fuel in my area one day went above the price of the premium

On the same day

[elfin mural]

demand i guess

[velvet summit]

💀

[elfin mural]

"cheap" gas here is e20 and e85

ethanol fuel

[velvet summit]

There's also no gas stations here that do e15 fuel either
Let alone e85 or whatever that grade was for ethanol fuel

Not that we have a flex fuel vehicle anymore

[elfin mural]

the grade just means how much ethanol is in the mixture

[velvet summit]

But we don't even have the option of e10/e15

Yeah

But tends to be a fair bit cheaper

[elfin mural]

brazil has e100

[velvet summit]

At least from what I've heard

They're running on pure corn goddamn

[elfin mural]

ya

[velvet summit]

But yeah, I heard that e15 tends to have like 7% less energy density than ethanol free gasoline but tends to cost around 10-15% less

At least in the forums

[elfin mural]

less range but you do still save cash

[velvet summit]

Yeah

[elfin mural]

fillups will be more frequent though

[velvet summit]

Probably only ~7% more fill ups

[elfin mural]

it doesn't really mean anything anyway

[neat plover]

gas was $3.5 3 months ago

[elfin mural]

and you do make more power with ethanol, which is a pretty interesting thing

then again, it has higher octane

[velvet summit]

As long as the cost is lower than the amount more you need, it would still be cost saving

[elfin mural]

despite having less energy density

[neat plover]

Anyone know a budgeted oled for my second money

[elfin mural]

it's why e85 can be considered race fuel

to an extent

[velvet summit]

With a huge caveat of the engine needing to be designed to make use of that extra octane

Else it would just be the same

Approximately

[elfin mural]

and the fuel lines plus fuel tank has to handle increased corrosion

[neat plover]

I mean monitor

[velvet summit]

The bigger concern is just the alcohol causing rubbers to harden

[elfin mural]

basically every gas powered car in my country made in 2008 and above take e20

my dad had a 2010 honda

it never had any issues with fuel tbh

he always filled it up with e20

the car was made for it, so yeah

no problems at all

[velvet summit]

I think the only things that can absolutely not use ethanol are small engines such as lawnmowers

Or classic cars

[elfin mural]

mopeds and motorcycles here do use ethanol fuel

or at least, have the ability to

but i don't think lawnmowers would take too kindly to ethanol yeah

[velvet summit]

Most of them say no ethanol on the cap

[elfin mural]

cars can be converted to use ethanol

with appropriate modifications that is

[velvet summit]

I kinda wonder if you use leaded fuel in a car now, if it would harm the car
Most cars say unleaded fuel only (which is a very good thing for health) but would it actually harm modern engines? Leaded fuel is still used in aviation after all

[nocturne flicker]

Flex fuel was trash

[elfin mural]

the main thing is to not let the car sit with the fuel for too long

it could corrode the fuel tank

[elfin mural]

it would clog up the cat so quickly

[velvet summit]

Oh

[elfin mural]

so yeah, it would cause serious repair bills

[velvet summit]

Ig that would make sense

[nocturne flicker]

Also most cars should've been hybrids ages ago and they need to either regulate lawn mowing equipment like cars or start cracking down on having grass and a lot of fuel would suddenly be freed up

[velvet summit]

Technically the engine would be fine but the 2nd most expensive single part in a car being scrap would be a pretty big downside asides from the pollution

[elfin mural]

but muh big burbling v8

[velvet summit]

Bring back using scythes to cut grass fr

[nocturne flicker]

Ban grass lawns

[elfin mural]

or yknow, yeah

[velvet summit]

What would even be the alternative to a grass lawn

Just dirt?

And weeds?

[royal crow]

Horse clover

[nocturne flicker]

Literally anything else other than grass

Grass is terrible

[royal crow]

Real

[elfin mural]

isn't grass a weed also

[nocturne flicker]

Effectively yes

[elfin mural]

and weeds are generally not really what you wanna have to be growing in abundance

(no pun intended)

[velvet summit]

I mean, I guess no grass in places that it wouldn't survive without maintenance

[nocturne flicker]

It requires maintenance that is harmful to the enviroment, it grows everywhere even when you don't want it to, it is crap for CO2 reduction and is generally not good

[velvet summit]

Over here we never water the lawn

Just mowing to keep it from being too long

[nocturne flicker]

Oh and it consumes a ton of water for no reason

[elfin mural]

same case here

only mowed when needed

the grass around my house is natural

[nocturne flicker]

There is a reason why every time out west there is a water shortage they tell people to stop watering their lawns or get fined

[velvet summit]

I don't understand how people are willing to spend so much on watering their lawn

Water is so expensive

[nocturne flicker]

Because it is a gigantic waste of water

[nocturne flicker]

Societal expectations

The USGA (golf association) and the USDA got the public to believe that a grass lawn was a sign of wealth and high class

[velvet summit]

Meanwhile grass is free here*

[nocturne flicker]

Nonono

You misunderstood

It has to be perfectly kept and nice and neat and well tended or else you are white trash

[velvet summit]

Once you've put sod down once or seeded it, it remains lush until you run it over with heavy equipment

[nocturne flicker]

Buy our chemical products to make it look better, buy our equipment to maintain it, buy our equipment for your equipment, buy fertilizer buy sprinklers a brown patch is a brown patch on your reputation buy buy buy buy

[velvet summit]

Damn

I don't think it's as bad here

The only expectation here is pretty much just don't let it get overgrown

Mainly due to pests

[worn night]

skoul

[velvet summit]

Literally the one letter

[nocturne flicker]

It is only really like that in very tight communities where people will gossip and bad mouth each other over the dumbest thing. You know, suburbia

[velvet summit]

Oh

[nocturne flicker]

Or any HOA that has strict lawn requirements

There is still an overall pressure of not having a kept lawn = trash person though

So you buy your gas guzzling lawn equipment that has no environmental standards and you waste your time maintaining a pest plant or you shell out the money to have someone else do it instead

[velvet summit]

Truly the land of the free

[nocturne flicker]

Of course there is also the stereotype that real men mow their lawns and enjoy it

[random osprey]

fortnite added timothee chalamet into fortnite

[pliant berry]

Maybe this is why people keep spraying our front yard with fertilizer and stuff despite us clearly saying not to cuz we don’t bother maintaining the front

[royal crow]

Do you live in a neighborhood with an hoa?

Or is that the city's doing

[pliant berry]

Not really. That’s really just cuz we have people do some maintenance on the back lawn. The front is just sand and weeds lol

[royal crow]

Lol same

I don't think we have any actual grass in either yard

[pliant berry]

we only put grass in the back recently too. for years not even weeds would grow there

Also

It screams

https://tenor.com/view/sukuna-jujutsu-kaisen-itadori-yuji-smile-evil-gif-19649047

[velvet summit]

Honestly the keychron m6 is my favorite mouse out of all the mice I've used (which is very few but I prefer the ergonomic and features over most other mice)
It's not really a gaming mouse even though it had a version with 8k polling
The side scroll wheel is so nice to have though

It's infinitely better than any OEM office mouse
Especially when the majority of OEM office mice don't even have the back/forwards buttons

I also prefer it over my g305

The scroll wheel is so much more free (and is unlockable)

It is a loud scroll wheel though when it is locked

But I don't mind it at home

Especially when the only alternative is like over double the cost

And despite not being marketed as such, it still works pretty well on glass tables from what I've tried (not tried for gaming though)

Though I wouldn't say it's perfect

The side scroll wheel is fairly silent though
