That happens a lot

Let's just say they switch nodes all the time

Making it impossible for a stable connection

[sudden sinew]

Yippie recieved 2.2k lol

wait wrong ch--

[sudden sinew]

2/3 of my pc

btw gotta spend money for this in 4 mo

[proven sundial]

Spend on what hmm ?

[sudden sinew]

https://www.spitfireaudio.com/en-eu/products/bbc-symphony-orchestra-professional

[proven sundial]

I approve

[sudden sinew]

wanted to get berlin orchestra but native instruments in danger so

me thinking of hans zimmer and BSO

[proven sundial]

Ahh okay well whatever makes you feel better

[sudden sinew]

but hope I don't lose my access to Stradivari Library soon

[halcyon spire]

So uhh yeah I tried the newest ge and dw protons now and neither fix it
I did however discover that while re-assinging the key doesn't work on the first slot it does work if I try adding at as a second button, so it seems it still kinda knows that button is assigned to it at some level

[proven sundial]

Must be hard coded then somehow

[sudden sinew]

ge proton will let the game kick you out

[halcyon spire]

Not anymore apparently, it says it's been updated for compatibility with endfield

[sudden sinew]

steam overlay I suppose, but not fully for endfield

or..?

need to test

[halcyon spire]

I mean I didn't run it for long since I was only testing for that specific issue, but I didn't encounter any other new issues

[short ridge]

@proven sundial

[golden zenith]

1.2GB more

[sudden sinew]

wait so afaik you tried keymapping stuffs

how did you keymap it?

[golden zenith]

we slowly curing the blight with this

[proven sundial]

Atleast it is the last of it

[short ridge]

8.2gb, then 5.8gb and now 1.2gb

oh yea 12 gb was first

[proven sundial]

Honestly i am confused how many files get partially corrupted on your end

[short ridge]

welp that a confirmation that ssd is fucked

aint it

[sudden sinew]

wtf

[proven sundial]

But yeah the device does need a proper look

I am kinda worried

Since those failure rates were high for this model

[short ridge]

welp

its now or never

[golden zenith]

7% failure rate...

[sudden sinew]

lol

[halcyon spire]

Oh no
It's not even related to me trying to set the mouse sidekeys
Anything I assign to operator 4 skill gets reset, even the default option, HOW even

[golden zenith]

now test the game

[short ridge]

now lets try playing again

[proven sundial]

But yeah last option RMA RMA RMA

[proven sundial]

There is no way that is not hardcoded

[sudden sinew]

@short ridge looking you reinstall the game reminds of the Javascript creator before the JS era lmfao

[halcyon spire]

Oke uhh
Idk why that worked, but resetting to default then assigning the keys I want fixed it
I hope it'll stay put this time

[proven sundial]

Lol so my first suggestion worked 😂

[halcyon spire]

I don't even remember you suggested that before the proton version thing .-.

[sudden sinew]

and me about to "wtf" to a colleague

[proven sundial]

Did she quack it up ?

[halcyon spire]

Aand we got another one
Although that might literally not have a fix as it seems to be an intended block I just would like to know why they would do such a thing
I can't assign p as the key for the tech tree for some reason, it just says I can't even though I don't see any way that key would be used already

[sudden sinew]

[proven sundial]

They need to stop hard coding

I've noticed it way too much

In this game

[short ridge]

okay no freezes yet

[sudden sinew]

code is 100% ai and I literally said not to use specific instructions bcz we do it different and even got an alt instruction for that due to system mem security reasons and yet

[proven sundial]

Lazy people

[sudden sinew]

rahhhhh

[sudden sinew]

one of the reasons why the company does not decide to fully integrate AI yet and does not disintegrate human workers

[proven sundial]

Yeah i see what you mean

Anyway time to pester my boss

[sudden sinew]

boss abuse

[proven sundial]

He fucked my servers

[sudden sinew]

[proven sundial]

We literally have test environements servers

And he deleted all of the VMS

[sudden sinew]

if someone does it I'll sue him and I won't sit there to recreate the state again

[short ridge]

holy shit i might be saved

[sudden sinew]

[short ridge]

no freezes

[proven sundial]

Cool

[proven sundial]

So time to complain and keep the servers unders my control

[short ridge]

so all those troubleshooting shit was for no reason

awesome

all this took was a month

[sudden sinew]

sometimes you need it to know what your computer does and why is it abnormal

[short ridge]

i mean yeah ofc, i found out my pc needs to be returned to the shop either way

but all this wouldnt have happened if i didnt have fuck ass internet

i wonder how much shit is broken in windows installation...

[sudden sinew]

tbh the LOO is instable

[golden zenith]

switch to linux

[short ridge]

how the fuck do i get there

[toxic atlas]

If you make your own company do give me a ping

[proven sundial]

Ugh i will just put in my c4 and go back to making emulators

Atleast i will have peace

[sudden sinew]

[toxic atlas]

Also I just lost a manager
He quit after 15 years of working here

Now I'm only one manager away from the head of IT

Which is a fucking rtrd

[proven sundial]

People are quitting for good reason

[toxic atlas]

I know

[sudden sinew]

tbh more powers more tire

and more management more fail risk

[proven sundial]

I'm just perplexed

How somebody deletes 270 VMs

And says ah yeah

It was an oopsie

[livid wing]

maybe i can play the game this week, it's been 3 weeks

[short ridge]

okay it should have frozen by now

its going strong

[sudden sinew]

and wtf is that manager, he didn't ask for what it was used for ?!

luckily my manager doesn't do that stuff lmfao

[proven sundial]

Does not matter anymore my C4 is sent

Find another job

[sudden sinew]

and if yes, he'd give others a notice

[sudden sinew]

[toxic atlas]

my manager insists on having the ROOT account available, with password, only known to him on ALL linux servers

[patent shoal]

@short ridge did ur game work properly now ?

[sudden sinew]

better so, less risk

[patent shoal]

just checking

[sudden sinew]

unless he has someone to trust on this

[short ridge]

yeah i havent frozen yet

[patent shoal]

nice

[toxic atlas]

we all connect via SSH

including him

[sudden sinew]

(luckily I got the trust from my managers so)

[toxic atlas]

SSH ALLOWS ROOT WITH PASSWORD

[sudden sinew]

wait

WTF?!

wha

[toxic atlas]

along with systems so old when i got into the company i literally hacked my way into some of them because he was being an ass and didn't want to give me access since i was "too new" (2 months in)

[proven sundial]

Sounds like something i would do

[sudden sinew]

he needs selinux 101

[toxic atlas]

I INTRODUCED SELINUX IN THE COMPANY

about 2-3 years ago

[sudden sinew]

guess it's rejected

[toxic atlas]

nah now almost all linux servers run it

only exceptions are the really old ones that weren't approved to be changed yet

[sudden sinew]

So, I'm having a weird issue I've not seen before, the game appears to be working fine, but anything involving inventory just infinity loads. First time I've had this happen and I've been playing since release. Should I just wait, maybe it a server issue?

[golden zenith]

what platform are you on?

[sudden sinew]

In which country are you playing the game?
If possible, please try cloudflare WARP or any VPN

[vestal quartz]

US

[vestal quartz]

What is WARPS?

[sudden sinew]

ah sorry WARP

[vestal quartz]

Still don't know what that is?

[sudden sinew]

https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/team-and-resources/devices/warp/download-warp/

[sudden sinew]

a vpn

[ivory palm]

Any news on Paypal situation?

[vestal quartz]

I suppose I could, but would waiting fix it? I'm not that addicted that I can't wait if it just a server hiccup 😅

[sudden sinew]

not yet

[sudden sinew]

it's an ISP's issue for the server connection actually

Internet Service Provider

that's why setting the DNS or use VPN solves the issue, in europe, using quad9 solves the issue easily

also play less than 2 hours daily should be fine too

if you speak of addiction xD

[vestal quartz]

I been taking the game slow and steady, since I juggling Endfield with OG Arknights, and R99... And life

[sudden sinew]

even if you are not addicted life's pain too lmfao

unless you have good solutions for each perspectives

[hazy venture]

lol

[rancid loom]

don't worry, everyone's juggling with life

you are not alone

in any case....there's a Starmaaaan waiting in the sky

[rancid loom]

no update for Paypal as of yet

or better yet, just don't use Paypal even if there is an update on it

[copper hawk]

was reinstalling game, ran into this

stuck on 98% then bam

[ivory palm]

Is there something I do not know as of yet?

[toxic atlas]

go in C:\Program Files\GRYPHLINK\games\EndField Game\launcher_tmp\ (assuming you didn't change the game install path)

and unzip the game files yourself in \EndField Game\

[copper hawk]

beyond release?

[toxic atlas]

yeah
you should find a bunch of files ending in numbers
open the 001 file with 7zip or winrar

[copper hawk]

jeez wth did they do to the installer up this bad

[rancid loom]

what you know is what we know so yeah no updates yet

[toxic atlas]

the launcher is a damn mess

[rancid loom]

🥀

[toxic atlas]

windows permissions shenanigans don't help either

[copper hawk]

its extracting now, can i come back later?

[rancid loom]

so running the launcher as admin doesn't help as well

[toxic atlas]

ping me when it's done

[rancid loom]

interesting

[copper hawk]

okay thank u

[hardy dew]

what does this. mean

[toxic atlas]

what GPU do you have?

[hardy dew]

[rancid loom]

looks like missing files intended for shader compilation

[toxic atlas]

that's the launcher not launching, not game

try installing this, updating your GPU driver, then rebooting your PC

[rancid loom]

there are instances that these files weren't installed by Windows upon installation???

[toxic atlas]

windows doesn't install them by default at all

[rancid loom]

so you need to manually install it then or does it come with the GPU driver install?

[toxic atlas]

it should come with the GPU driver
but in some cases it just gets skipped

[rancid loom]

[toxic atlas]

that's why i mentioned a gpu driver update as well

[rancid loom]

fair point

[toxic atlas]

also microsoft is a Zink hater (OpenGL on Vulkan)
and won't drop their precious DirectX baby

[rancid loom]

[toxic atlas]

fun fact
intel is not providing compatibility with older versions of directx in their new GPU drivers
they're straight up bundling dxvk, to run that shit on vulkan

[rancid loom]

so if you're on Intel and on Windows, you've got two companies butting heads with what rendering method your device needs to use?

[toxic atlas]

nah windows respects the GPU driver
until windows update doesn't

[rancid loom]

until windows update doesn't

classic

[proven sundial]

Windows update is a little bit of a nut job

[rancid loom]

they gotta add a tagline onto it for future reference

not only it keeps you updated with security fixes and improvements

[toxic atlas]

updating drivers via windows update is just a ticking bomb

[proven sundial]

Btw i ripped the resign papers in front of management

what does this mean

[rancid loom]

[hazy venture]

[toxic atlas]

DDU not necessarily required
but offline installer for GPU driver is

[proven sundial]

To make a statement

[toxic atlas]

grab this one, the 913mb file

[rancid loom]

ohhhh... how did they take it then?

hey Max does the AMD Cleanup Utility help with uninstalling the driver??

[proven sundial]

They got super pissed and i just walked away like a free man besides i already sent the c4 before hahah

[toxic atlas]

it's basically AMD's version of DDU, for their own shit

[rancid loom]

I see

@hardy dew please notify us before you install the Adrenalin okay

[hardy dew]

i have adrenalin already but it claims to be up to date

[rancid loom]

yeah but you need to reinstall it

[copper hawk]

@toxic atlas uhh it still died at 98%

[rancid loom]

notify us before you do

[copper hawk]

dont tell me i have to extract 1-36...

[rose sedge]

Any one else is having issues with audio volume? like its normal then the next day after launching the game its loud AF, and moving the volume sliders ingame and then back to where they were before fixes that any solution to this except what i mentioned?

[toxic atlas]

finish the extract (so Endfield.exe is directly in the EndField Game folder)
then restart launcher

[toxic atlas]

no

just 001

[rancid loom]

have you checked the Audio Output that you're using?

[toxic atlas]

did you close the launcher while extracting?

[copper hawk]

oh, no...

[hardy dew]

do i have to delete it first and then reinstall

[rose sedge]

Yeah i only used headset

[toxic atlas]

nah, just install

[copper hawk]

i got the game to work tho by manually clicking the endfield exe

so the games working, just not the launcher

i restart launcher?

[rancid loom]

you can try changing it if it's too loud or soft using that option

[golden zenith]

this is a known issue, need to manually adjust the slider

[toxic atlas]

yeah, game only needs launcher for updates

[rancid loom]

doesn't he need to check the Factory Reset option???

[toxic atlas]

restart launcher, button should say play instead

[hardy dew]

has been downloaded

[rose sedge]

ah alr am guessing no fix then

[toxic atlas]

after that, run an integrity check (just in case)

[copper hawk]

uh.

it said resume instead of play

and its now trying to install again

we are installing NOTHING brah

[golden zenith]

as of now no fix yet, need to wait for the dev to fix it or someone find a fix (or adjust the windows audio)

[toxic atlas]

ah, right
delete the files from C:/Program Files/GRYPHLINK/games/EndField Game/launcher_tmp/cd2d0f009b9c3997c1e4d319ed1a0eae/

but close the launcher first

everything in that folder, but not the folder itself

[copper hawk]

that would delete the files i just extracted tho

[hardy dew]

reinstalling software and i am not clicking factory reset

[copper hawk]

i assume i move those somewhere?

[toxic atlas]

...
Extract the game into C:/Program Files/GRYPHLINK/games/EndField Game/
not in the same dir

[copper hawk]

oh that is mb

[toxic atlas]

that's why launcher didn't recognize it

[copper hawk]

directories arent exactly intuitive to read

[toxic atlas]

i mean it's windows, fair

[copper hawk]

play button finally here, running integrity check

[toxic atlas]

so long story short the launcher doesn't do checksums on the download
and just gives up if it has unzipping errors

[copper hawk]

download error again wtf

theres nothing in the launcher tmp folder now

well play button and the game works so like idk now

its just the file integrity check that breaks

[toxic atlas]

running launcher as admin?

[copper hawk]

yep

[toxic atlas]

ig just windows shenanigans again
or could be some sort of connection issue, if your internet provider has trouble routing cloudflare

[golden zenith]

what about disk space?

[copper hawk]

im just gonna play the game for now and reinstall again tmrw

at least i know to unzip the files myself, thank u 🙏

[toxic atlas]

no need to reinstall, just need to make the int check work

[copper hawk]

int check?

[toxic atlas]

integrity check

[copper hawk]

well my only idea of making that work is a reinstall lmao

[rancid loom]

how do you read directories in Linux tho?

[toxic atlas]

linux doesn't have file locking

[golden zenith]

pwd

tree

[proven sundial]

@toxic atlas PRAISE THE MACHINE GOD for he has spoken

[toxic atlas]

which can be both a blessing and a curse

[rancid loom]

persons with disabilities?

[toxic atlas]

Print Working Directory
aka the current dir you're in

[golden zenith]

print work directory

[rancid loom]

I see

sorry I was just memeing back there abt the PWD

[toxic atlas]

file permissions are way clearer on linux than on windows as well

[rancid loom]

I mean it is an open source so OS files aren't locked by the system itself unlike Windows yes?

[toxic atlas]

you know how windows doesn't let you move/rename a word doc if you have it open, right?

that doesn't exist on linux

linux just lets you do whatever

[rancid loom]

ye

I see

does that also apply to file ownership?

[proven sundial]

You can make or break linux however you want in that aspect 😅

[rancid loom]

awesome

[toxic atlas]

file ownership is just
which user and group is this owned by? oh that guy
and done

not the whole ass windows permission screen

though you can do advanced file access control

[rancid loom]

I see

[golden zenith]

sudo chmod 700

[rancid loom]

so basically if the system breaks it's usually the user who breaks it, not the system itself?

[toxic atlas]

chmod -R 777 /*

[rancid loom]

in some instances

[copper hawk]

@toxic atlas one last thing, is the in-game repair the same as the launcher int check?

[golden zenith]

oh god

[copper hawk]

cus i think the former works

[toxic atlas]

yes and no
it will fix most stuff
but there is some that only the launcher touches

like the game executable itself

[copper hawk]

man

[dense bronze]

so

update on the sound situation

[toxic atlas]

eh, you'll be fine
you said the game launches

[copper hawk]

the game does launch yes

[plucky river]

Is there any way to launch Endfield without having to start the launcher?
Or to make the launcher auto close after I press Play?

[copper hawk]

and i got rid of the reason i did a reinstall anw

[rancid loom]

did you change the Audio Output already and did it work?

[proven sundial]

Just open the exe in your install folder

[toxic atlas]

C:/Program Files/GRYPHLINK/games/EndField Game/Endfield.exe

[dense bronze]

tried everything but it does not work
howver i tried to capture video via OBS

and the sound works correctly

[toxic atlas]

though you will have to go through the launcher sometimes, for major updates

game will tell you when that happens

[dense bronze]

i think it's some weird interaction between my motherboard DAC and Bazzite

[rancid loom]

okay I'm not familiar with sound streaming devices, can someone help us out here

[copper hawk]

did the blueprints channel just disappear

[dense bronze]

i will get a dongle tomorrow

to see if shit improves

[rancid loom]

dongle? Bluetooth dongle?

[copper hawk]

nvm it just got really inactive that discord closed it for me

[toxic atlas]

oh boi time to mess with pipewire settings

[dense bronze]

DAC dongles

[golden zenith]

you also not gonaa help cause they on Linux as well

[copper hawk]

kinda weird

[golden zenith]

let the Linux people help

[toxic atlas]

it got moved into another part of the server

[rancid loom]

oh didn't know they were on Linux

mb

[copper hawk]

its still between aic factory and tech support for me

[toxic atlas]

yeah, that's the old one

[dense bronze]

funnily enough bazzite also has reset pipewire built in to their fast pick console

already tried it but doesn't work

oh well was gonna update my audio rig at home anyway

gonna buy a dongle and update on yall tomorrow

[toxic atlas]

check this stuff

if you didn't visit the audio settings yet

you have to pick the audio profile to one that matches your configuration

[dense bronze]

fucking hell it works

[toxic atlas]

[dense bronze]

what wizardry is this

[golden zenith]

It Linux

[toxic atlas]

welcome to linux

make sure you pick one that actually matches your setup

[golden zenith]

Bunch of spell on Linux

[toxic atlas]

i have a 5.1 sound system that i only use as a 2.1

[dense bronze]

god

[toxic atlas]

so i have that picked

[proven sundial]

Do your research

[dense bronze]

smh should've tested this early

clearly 3 years of casual using linux was not enough

gotta learn more

[toxic atlas]

generally for headphones and such you want pro audio

[golden zenith]

sudo rm -rf / is one powerful spell

[toxic atlas]

ah yes
do not forget to remove the french language pack in linux post-install with the following
sudo rm -fr /*

[sudden sinew]

[toxic atlas]

(/* doesn't require --no-preserve-root )

[proven sundial]

Yuck french

[dense bronze]

right

[sudden sinew]

https://youtube.com/shorts/59A7In9M-1c
found this randomly

[dense bronze]

time to learn what's all these hifi is about

also

[toxic atlas]

also please note that's a joke and do not actually run that command
it's the windows equivalent of deleting System32 but worse

[dense bronze]

do mangohug works with Endfield?

[toxic atlas]

yes

[dense bronze]

nice

[sudden sinew]

mangohug xD

[toxic atlas]

i have endfield installed through faugus and i have a checkbox for it

[proven sundial]

Heh you don't need this for windows you only need Dual monitor pgx

[rancid loom]

[golden zenith]

mangohug 🥭

[golden zenith]

that so much less spike on Linux....

[proven sundial]

I have no spikes

It's crazy

On windows somebody is getting slapped like crazy

But on linux it flatlines

[dense bronze]

welcome to 2026 and the enshitification of windows

so glad i jumped ship 3 years ago

( still have to use it at work)

[toxic atlas]

yeah, same

though i fully jumped like 7 years ago

[dense bronze]

damm

before proton?

[short ridge]

i have a question guys

[dense bronze]

how do you survive that

[short ridge]

HOW is a company that big fucking up their own product so much

[toxic atlas]

been a linux user since 2012 or so

before the first steam machines

god the pain with b43 lmfao

[proven sundial]

Proprietary software

[short ridge]

Max i will need you to be on standby whenever i decide to install linux on any of my devices

[proven sundial]

[toxic atlas]

that shit would not load on boot
only after i reached desktop
and systemd was barely a concept back then

[rancid loom]

the Windows Exodus is starting

[proven sundial]

Yeah the savage ages of linux was a head explosion in comparison to now

[toxic atlas]

so in the end i hooked a modprobe script into wpa_supplicant, after learning some more shit, and finally made it work without modprobing it myself each boot

[dense bronze]

from sombody jumping from Mint-> Manjaro-> Mint->Nobara->Bazzite

i would say jsut install Bazzite

[toxic atlas]

you had a rough start but got there in the end, huh?

[dense bronze]

locked down and brainless easy for beginner?

[toxic atlas]

Nobara & Bazzite are just the way to go for non-technical or somewhat technical windows users

[dense bronze]

still prefer the one click install of Mint tbh

[toxic atlas]

mint is just for boomers and people who don't care about gaming, just office and browser

[dense bronze]

though

[short ridge]

what if i wanna go all in and install the base version of linux

[dense bronze]

cachy looking hot

[proven sundial]

I stick to cachy os because i like to go a bit crazy

[toxic atlas]

go with LFS :D

[dense bronze]

the nyou will have nothing

[toxic atlas]

it is

[dense bronze]

also the right to flex as an Arch user

[toxic atlas]

though for the love of god do not use arch-based distros if you're new to linux

[dense bronze]

[toxic atlas]

nah you ain't getting that
only on vanilla arch

(arch user btw )

[proven sundial]

Come and install gentoo

[short ridge]

dw i am gonna go through a very throughout consultation with you before i install anything

[toxic atlas]

ok i'm going back to factory optimization bye

[proven sundial]

Bye take care

[short ridge]

good luck

[rancid loom]

same here

batteries running out

lmao my factory in V4 is shutting down

[short ridge]

my valle4 factory is alr optimized

nothing more can be done there

i have a ton of space to add some shit that i may need in future

[toxic atlas]

i accidentally moved a relay and shut off most of my steel production
suddenly no power

[proven sundial]

You make it or you break it

[golden zenith]

whoops moment

[toxic atlas]

but i only figured it out the next day since my depots are fully upgraded

[proven sundial]

Damn hahaha

[toxic atlas]

also of fucking course i have a thermal bank filled with batteries but off

gotta have a backup

[short ridge]

what have yall been doing since the game released

i thought i was the one doing things slow

[golden zenith]

Life

[proven sundial]

I have been on server slam marathon

And quit my job today

But hey

That's life

[short ridge]

what you planning to do next

[dense bronze]

Enlist in the army

[proven sundial]

Back to my roots emulation or machine god coding in c

I love optimizing shit

[steep rose]

is there a clear cache option in endfield

i only see clear device session

[proven sundial]

Device ?

[toxic atlas]

mood

[short ridge]

make your own OS from scratch and launch it

[steep rose]

clear device session is just log out to ensure nobody's playing your account i think

[toxic atlas]

he almost did
he wrote a gentoo install documentation

[sterile cobalt]

terry davis route

[proven sundial]

God it was fun installing gentoo

But not for general use

[toxic atlas]

oh for sure
i love that shit

[sudden sinew]

imagine compiling your own endfield

[toxic atlas]

just like Void
though without the compilation headache

[sudden sinew]

[proven sundial]

Yes

[steep rose]

so there's no

cache clearing

[proven sundial]

You have not answered my other question

[short ridge]

translate the game files into machine language yourself and force feed it to the pc

[steep rose]

IOS

are you gonna say i offload the app

[toxic atlas]

ah yes
recompilation

[proven sundial]

Ah no i think the only way on ios is reinstall

Right @sudden sinew

[steep rose]

yeah ngl i also think that's the only option

[short ridge]

its easy trust

[steep rose]

i have my account linked to my gmail already i guess

[sudden sinew]

game reinstall iirc

[golden zenith]

yea, iOS removed that clear cache long time ago

[proven sundial]

Closed ass platform

[sudden sinew]

ios has no clear cache like android but it has app delete without deleting caches

[short ridge]

cant even install a auto clicker on MAC OS

or IOS for that matter

[sudden sinew]

you need to request Apple or the Endfield devs for the feature,

[proven sundial]

What a headache

[sudden sinew]

you can't cheat, simple

speaking of iOS and the devices

me thinking of new KB and mouse for my desk

[short ridge]

i wanted to install tiny task a while ago(when i didnt know shit) on macbook and i remember reinstalling that shit like 20 times

(it wouldnt open)

[proven sundial]

Last one seems a bit sus

But alright

[short ridge]

wtf is even the last one

[ivory cedar]

Calling a 90g mouse 'lightweight' in 2026

[sudden sinew]

ah that, data sender, in pw form, bcz I got 100x sn74hc595pw for shift registing instead of 10 accidentally

[proven sundial]

[short ridge]

its not?

[proven sundial]

I found a ultra heavy mouse btw 600 grams

[sudden sinew]

but hey for 15€ 100x is bit too much

[proven sundial]

Full aliminium

[short ridge]

why would you ever need that

in what situation

[proven sundial]

I throw mice like a champ

[sudden sinew]

if I can resell 90 of them I got 18€

[ivory cedar]

Nope. There is a 19g mouse btw.

[short ridge]

doesnt change the fact that 90g is still lightweight

[sudden sinew]

agree

[ivory cedar]

In the gaming community? Nope.

[proven sundial]

Besides my hands are too big for my G502

Feels like a toy

[sudden sinew]

looks like someone is biased against the "norm" topic

[short ridge]

my basilisk is 100g and it feels like a fucking feather

its still lightweight whether you wanna admit it or not

[proven sundial]

Gamers they say

While i woop their ass with a 220 gram mouse

[sudden sinew]

and it's hell overpriced

[proven sundial]

Honestly mice in general are light

So it being heavier is nice

[sudden sinew]

agree

more heavier, more consistent

[proven sundial]

Totally agree

I play a lot of rts and shooters

[drowsy cipher]

a mouse with extra holes to catch gunk and be a pain to clean, perfect

[ivory cedar]

To you, it is a feather. To the the majority of FPS players, it is a brick.

[proven sundial]

Their hands are weak 🤣

[drowsy cipher]

seems like the majority of fps players are spaghetti armed children

[sudden sinew]

agree

[short ridge]

then they have a problem, average human being should be perfectly capable of moving around a 100g object for hours without tiring themselves

[ivory cedar]

Optimum (https://youtube.com/@optimumtech?si=PEuwQAoLecQZZhxm): Am I a joke to you?

[ivory cedar]

Not great for aiming potential.

[drowsy cipher]

never heard of him

[proven sundial]

Optimum is fine

But he said it himself

Take the mouse you prefer

[ivory cedar]

He was a heavyweight lifter iIrc, and he designed an ultra lightweight mouse too.

[short ridge]

oh yea btw, average Esports player uses 50-70g mouse

[drowsy cipher]

mine is 200 grams

[proven sundial]

Lets go mine is 220

[drowsy cipher]

wait no its 100g actually, the amazon page lied

the mouse of all time

[sudden sinew]

[ivory cedar]

50 - 30g is a huge difference. Those are considered medium-weight mice.

[short ridge]

Rgb = more fps

[sudden sinew]

[ivory cedar]

I am planning to get PRO X2 SuperStrike soon

[drowsy cipher]

rgb is an instant disqualification for me

[proven sundial]

This one is one of my favorite

Heavy as fuck

[sudden sinew]

not my type

[short ridge]

This is a fucking robot

Not a mouse

[toxic atlas]

what the fuck is even that lmfao

looks like something straight out of portal

[proven sundial]

Haha well it's a bit of a metal mouse literally

[ivory cedar]

Is that made by Roccat? Seems similar to some of their mice.

[sudden sinew]

can you blow the wheel?

[toxic atlas]

you mean freescroll?

[sudden sinew]

yea

[proven sundial]

Mad catz rat 8+

[proven sundial]

No i still need that but hey the G502 is on the side

[drowsy cipher]

looks like someone designed it as a joke to see if anyone was silly enough to actually buy it

[proven sundial]

It well was designed for people with big hands

So i'll take it

[sudden sinew]

I prefer being smol-handed xD

[sudden sinew]

bcz cute

[drowsy cipher]

i dont know if my hands are large or what

don't tell anyone youre playing roblox to begin with

[toxic atlas]

Exynos...

[proven sundial]

Ouch

[cold pewter]

Yea

[sudden sinew]

well I disguised fully and noone knows my thighs bcz I never wear shorts so, good luck finding me

[proven sundial]

Exynos is really funky on this game

But looks like textures breaking in the distance

[sudden sinew]

it's a graphical/screen bug actually

[drowsy cipher]

i used to have that on a faulty 4200 ti

[sudden sinew]

happened to my Air 4 a few times

[proven sundial]

Also major update is coming soon

[sudden sinew]

since the HSR v4 lmfao

[proven sundial]

So maybe there will be a fix

[cold pewter]

Hopefully

[sudden sinew]

but hey, genshin does fix that

Vanguard's Registry remnants:

[sudden sinew]

the "Tech" Family

[short ridge]

well ion feel like going through regedit rn

this will be enough

[velvet crown]

I have a technical issue with the game, Looks like I cannot place a tag here with the name "Firebuckle" getting a message text contains sensitive words.

[proven sundial]

That's just censoring

😅

[velvet crown]

🫡

[proven sundial]

But valid point

It should not be censored

Perhaps #contact-us

[velvet crown]

had to name it as FireBuck

[short ridge]

@proven sundial do i HAVE to go through regedit and delete all of riot clients registry or is this enough

[proven sundial]

Honestly the main issue is gone all the lingering files that remain are just configs

So i would honestly just leave it

[short ridge]

okay

[proven sundial]

If you really want it all gone HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE contains the rest

For vanguard keys and such

[short ridge]

i dont see any mentions of vanguard/riot client here

[proven sundial]

Then you are set

tech nerds would love this dimension

No wonders bro Japan is cheap compared to EU

i think you are confused about what okonomiyaki are

well especially since the yen is weak right now. my figures are cheap

i dont remember the prices of the ones i had. i mostly went to gyudon places

[sudden sinew]

some egg yolks-ish crepe thing

[ember bronze]
