But if you just fell asleep it's more unlikely that you'll hear the alarm, no? xD
No, not a trip. It's that time of the year again... the time of the "bloemencorso" :3

Of course. That's never been any different :3
Well I've had no need to. I've been able to get everything working on linux that I needed one way or another. And besides, at this point the thought of booting into a windows installation that hasn't seen a single update since its installation is kinda scary xD
But why ask? Are you interested in playing it or something? :3

Gator said:
I always hear my alarm, it's loud enough so I can't possibly continue sleeping xD
Oh, that time again... The most social time for the whole year for you ^^

Maybe it's time for some change? :3
And it will be even scarier in a few months when there are no security updates anymore at all... At this point you might as well just singleboot linux xD
Nah, at least not at the moment. Currently got my hands full with Witcher 3 and afterwards I don't know what to play yet if anything at all :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
In my case I've got the radio as the alarm, but it hasn't made anything but static noise in years and is really, really quiet, yet I always hear it (ignoring the fact that I'm practically always awake long before it goes off) xD
You could practically say it's the only social time for me. At least this year it looks like we'll be done at a reasonable time, instead of sunday 5:30 AM like last year :3

Nah, not planning on changing that :3
Right now that's not even the scary part though, it's the sheer amount of updates I'd have to wait for before being able to use it xD
Speaking of which, I've been looking a bit at pc components again lately to see if I might build a new pc soon™... so many choices ^^
Well you could go for dungeons 3 by that time if you feel like it. Runs like sh*t on my machine, but I assume that's just because of my gpu which doesn't meet the recommended specs :3

Gator said:
Tadaima~ :3

I have some generic ringtone on my phone as alarm. I tried some cool songs, but they get annoying after a while no matter how catchy they are xD
Wasn't the birthday party this weekend social time as well? :3

Just wait until genetically engineered catgirls are a thing and you get a sake-loving onee-nyan :3
So you are more scared of installing updates then getting a virus? xD
A new PC? Don't you already use a Ryzen? So you only talk about a new graphics card? :3
My GPU would certainly have no problems with that game ^^

Tyrantarmy6 said:
I has returned~ :3

Okaeri~ :3

I don't even know what my ringtone is, whatever the default is xD
Birthday parties are short mandatory little events though as opposed to that which takes long and I even do of my own volition :3

That doesn't mean I have to join them in drinking :3
As long as you have a proper adblocker and are a little careful of what you download you should be able to avoid getting any. Updates however take way too much time and will happen whether you like it or not xD
No, I haven't upgraded my pc since I built it in 2013. It has an i7 4700k and a gtx 770. I was thinking of upgrading that to a ryzen with an rx 5700 xt... not sure yet however whether I would want to just get a 3700x or want to get the 3900x considering the price of the latter and that I'm not sure if say a b450 tomohawk max or b450 gaming carbon ac could deal with said cpu without getting way too hot... they should be able to I think... :3
Mine clearly can't. Mostly there's not really any issues, but if for example I move my units to the overworld the units'll spend some time in blurry slow motion :3

Gator said:
Okaeri~ :3

I don't even have a ringtone, my phone is always on vibration only xD
You also go to birthday parties of your own volition though, I mean you could just say you got something else to do that day :3

But if she looks at you like that, could you resist? :3

In Windows 7 you could just deactivate them iirc, in Windows 10 it's mandatory ^^
Oh okay, was someone else then. That i7 should still work well in most games though, would probably only upgrade the graphics card and see if everything runs well again. 5700XT is a good card, still a bit too expensive for my taste though. That MSI should not have a problem with any Ryzen indeed :3
Weird, seems to me like your graphics card should meet the requirements though ^^

Tyrantarmy6 said:
That's also why I said I don't know what my ringtone is xD
In which case they'd just ask me to come at another time, and refusing to come would only cause trouble :3

Hey, don't underestimate my anti-social-ness :3


Of course, but if you deactivate them you don't even get a message telling you there are updates, or what they do. Just vague descriptions that say nothing if you actually remember to bother looking :3
Well the thing is that as soon as I upgraded my kernel when the 4.19 LTS release became available with its spectre mitigations and what not I've noticed a pretty heavy performance hit in some tasks related to programming and what not. Hell, if I try to open phpstorm I can't really say open a website at the same time... hell, when I still used vagrant as my localhost for it and tried to start that up at the same time as phpstorm I could go downstairs to drink a cup of tea while those 2 things try to start xD
It's pretty expensive, yeah, but I don't want to combine a cpu like that with a low end gpu. The main issue in prices for me though are some of the aftermarket gpu prices like for example the pulse that's €490 whereas the reference model is 430 ^^
I was mainly just thinking how well those'd run a 3900x as a 12 core takes a pretty beefy vrm and what not :3
The recommended specs mention 3gb of vram, mine has 2gb :3

Gator said:
Though I sometimes end up not hearing my handy vibrate, but a loud ringtone is annoying as well ^^
So no one would bat an eye if you would stop helping with the Bloemencorso? :3

As long as you don't use makeup like Marilyn Manson... ^^

That will probably never change though, even in Windows 10 it's only called a "function update" :3
Sounds like deactivating Hyperthreading might fix some of the worst problems... though that will also cost a lot of performance though, but maybe you won't have to wait as long for some specific tasks xD
Well those are the early adopter prices, if you can wait a bit longer they should drop quite fast ^^
As long as you don't overclock it, there shouldn't be a problem though :3
Oh, the same problem I experienced with my old GTX 760 in Warhammer... and the reason why I bought a new 8GB VRAM card ^^

Tyrantarmy6 said:
I have my phone in my pocket so I can feel it perfectly fine (not like I could hear it even on full volume anyways during say the work for the bloemencorso), and during the night it's turned off :3
They would, as I have been doing this for at least 15 years already (don't know exactly how long, but it could even be 20) and so I'm always on the list of expected participants, but they wouldn't get angry if I were to skip :3

I don't even know who that is, I just found the quote while looking for a pic :3


Which makes it pretty pointless, no? :3
Yeah I guess, but I rather get a cpu that actually seems to be secure so far and still performs well than stick to an old dusty and insecure cpu to the point of needing to lower its performance by like 20%. I mean, the 3900x has not only 12 cores but it even has higher single core performance xD
I guess, but I was planning on waiting a little anyways to see what other aftermarket gpus might get released along with the current availability of the 3900x being a bit problematic :3
Wasn't planning on voiding the warranty with pbo anyways :3
Yeah, which along with the HDD was also the reason why the performance of modded skyrim and minecraft were so bad on my pc :3

Gator said:
If I turned my phone off at night, I would need another alarm so my phone is always on :3
But your family wouldn't be angry either if you skipped a birthday, seemed to me the situation is the same with birthday parties and the Bloemencorso ^^

How do you not know Marilyn Manson, he's a funny dude xD

Well it does have some specific functions, M$ just refuses to tell you straight away :3
The 3900X definitely is a beast, though once again a very expensive one. But if you don't care about money either way, you could also wait for the 3950X with 16 cores ^^
I guess the only other custom model that could be good and hasn't been revealed yet is the Nitro+ from Sapphire. Else the Powercolor Red Devil looks really good :3
Manual overclocking is pretty pointless anyway with today's CPUs ^^
If you use high-res texture packs, I can see why :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
So you don't have a regular alarm clock next to your bed? :3
Unlike the bloemencorso however a birthday is something you can do at a later day if needed, and they expect you to :3

You'd be surprised what else I don't know that others expect you to xD


Yeah, just like how they just casually pushed windows 10 spyware updates to windows 7 using really misleading wording :3
It is, that's why I'm not quite sure yet if I wanna spend the extra money on it, but the 3950x is definitely out of the question. While I'm willing to at least consider the 3900x, €800 is way too much xD
I haven't seen any prices for that one here yet, but I'm assuming it'll be around the €500 ^^
Which isn't a bad thing :3
Not just that, it was simply that my HDD was too slow to load all dem files as the game requested them resulting in frequent micro stutters which is far worse than even 30fps as long as its stable. :3
Whereas minecraft was just outright unplayable with single digit framerates in addition to frequent frame drops into the negative numbers xD

Gator said:
I do, but that one can only manage one alarm. On my phone I can set a alarm for weekdays and weekends separately ^^
So they would celebrate their birthday on another day just so you can participate? :3

I can hardly ask you what else you don't know since you can't tell me because you don't know xD

They did? I only have a W7 VM on linux, but I'm not even sure if it updates if I launch it :3
I just don't like the thought of having 12 cores, same with 6 cores. Either 8 or 16 xD
The placeholder price currently is 539€, but it's not even available at any store :3
Nope, it's quite the good thing. People get full power out of the box without the need to tweak it :3
So did you ran out of VRAM and thus your HDD got used for all the stuff that didn't make it or is your actual HDD too slow for Minecraft putting its files on it? Because I rarely have a problem with a game running on my HDD :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
I don't even set an alarm in the weekends. I mean, why would I? It's the only time of the week I can stay in bed longer :3
Most of them don't celebrate it on the actual day itself so they can celebrate in whatever weekend most guests are available or even so they can celebrate it at the same time as someone else so there's not so many parties :3
And if you're like the only one who isn't available on the day in question you oftentimes come to visit some other time :3

Well I didn't tell you to ask me something I don't know xD
Indeed they did. I thought it was pretty well known by now :3
I don't see a problem with 12 cores as it's still a multiple of 4, unlike 6. Though I would find it strange if it were say 13 cores or something :3
That's even more expensive than the asus rog strix one which is already grossly overpriced as usual with products in that line :3
Too bad though that pbo voids the warranty if enabled... I don't like that kind of stuff. Then again, if I enabled pbo I'd really have to question whether a b450 motherboard can handle that... then I might even have to get something like an x470 taichi ^^
Same happened with skyrim, where it tries to stream in lots of files, including large textures, but the hdd can't keep up with the sheer volume of these files. Usually the hdd speed is only an issue with heavily modded games like those, but I know that for example star citizen is also heavily recommended to be run from an ssd :3

Gator said:
Ohayou~ :3

If I never started setting an alarm, I would still wake up after 12PM like in my teenager years xD
But you are not "most guests", so if you won't come it doesn't mean they will automatically change it to a day that fits you, right? :3
Maybe coming some other time would be even better then? With less people around ^^

You seem to assume that I'll only do things that you tell me? xD
Guess I already was using linux almost exclusively back then and thus didn't care much about how much data they gather on which games I play :3
At least you should have a problem with nVidia's 11GB VRAM on the newer Ti graphics cards then ^^
The ASUS card isn't even really good for that price though, gets way too hot. I would assume that for FullHD@60Hz it won't matter much anyway which custom model you buy :3
From what I read so far online it shouldn't really be a problem. There is a list of mainboards around with information about which Ryzen 3000 CPU is supported at best. Even my B350 is enough for 12 cores without overclocking ^^
Aren't the large textures usually stored in the VRAM though? At least that's why I see 8GB VRAM as necessary for today, since you will be able to use that card for quite a while. Nice textures make the biggest part of good graphics imo :3
Total War on a HDD is no fun as well... Needs more than 5 minutes to load a map, with a SSD it's only one minute xD

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Ohayou~ :3

Well unlike you I can't do that anyways xD
Of course, but if too many guests don't have time on the appointed day then they'll try to pick another day that allows most to come, no? :3
Doing that deliberately each time without a good reason would raise eyebrows wouldn't it? :3

No, I'm just saying I didn't ask you to do the impossible xD
But who knows what else they gather about you during that time :3
That number is strange, but at least in case of vram such strange numbers aren't new :3
I play at 1440p though and can support higher refresh rates if the pc parts allow it :3
Yeah I saw it, but that one mentions things like 100A and 150A, right? Wasn't a 3900x sitting around 125A? Think I read that somewhere at least... could be just me though :3
To load them into vram though you first need to retrieve them from the disk, and they can't be all loaded into vram all the time, especially with only 2gb available so they need to reload them from disk over and over :3
A whole minute just to load a single map on an ssd? That's comparable to star citizen loading times and that's saying something considering the sheer scale difference between the 2 xD

So how're you doing today? :3

Gator said:
Luckily I can't do it either at this point, but only because I accustomed myself to getting up earlier xD
And you think you would've been the one guy who would reduce the number of guests to below the limit and make your host change the date? :3
Of course not each time, only here and there if you are really not in the mood ^^

Maybe you should try it and see what happens? xD
Not much else to gather unless they wanna record my boring teamspeak conversations ^^
More or less, the 3.5GB VRAM of the GTX970 sure raised some eyebrows though :3
Sounds like you have a pretty fine display, I still have only 1080p@60Hz. Though I might buy a 2160@60Hz with freesync later this year :3
Found it, it's 150A indeed. But if you have a good airflow it shouldn't be a problem on most boards. The 16 core is another story though ^^
So basically you did run out of VRAM and thus had to reload from disk all the time, same story with me then. Funny enough Total War used to reduce texture quality if you did not have enough VRAM xD
Well the world map in Total War is also quite big and probably has more details to display than you see in a Star Citizen map at first, so it wouldn't surprise me that much tbh :3

Doing alright, started Trigun yesterday and watched two more episodes of Hajimete no Gal. Unfortunately I had no time to play Witcher yesterday and I won't have time today as well. Meet up with a friend at work and have dinner in a Greek restaurant :3

How are you doing?

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Well I was never able to do that. I know some people that can easily sleep till like 4 or even 5 PM though xD
It's possible, but this is more about the fact that the date can be changed :3
And what am I supposed to say then? "Eh, I really don't wanna visit your birthday party, so I'll come another time"? xD

I think I'll pass :P
What about your account passwords using keyloggers and the like? I remember those being a thing in w10 as well :3
Obviously that'd raise eyebrows. Just like how my previous pc had 3.5gb ram, though I assume that's just because of its age and that it used to actually be 4gb :3
Indeed, but I deliberately went with 1440p as opposed to 4k because I have no use for 4k and barely any gpu can play games at 60fps at those resolutions anyway :3
Yeah, if I wanted to spend that kind of money on a 16 core cpu then the extra price of an x470 taichi would hardly be worth mentioning xD
Regardless of that though, textures are only loaded once you need them, and if the hdd can't keep up loading them when needed then it'll either stutter or the texture will pop in too late, or not at all. I noticed the last option of those when I played star citizen when I bought it. So many super low res textures meant to be used at god knows what kind of lod distance :3
I wouldn't say that. The details and graphics of star citizen are quite crazy, even just the locations where you first spawn :3


At it again with the restaurant visits I see :3
So what's your impression of trigun so far? :3

Doing fine I guess. Yesterday I just read some more arifureta, and watched its latest episode... as expected they just skipped over half of volume 2 in just 1 episode and in doing so once again skip everything that's remotely relevant to the story ^^
I also have some catching up I need to do on enen no shouboutai and katsute kami datta kemono-tachi e... don't know when I'll actually bother to do that though :3

Gator said:
Tadaima~ :3

Yeah my father for example, if he's ill he just sleeps till 5PM and then is well again ^^
That would at least be honest, right? Though socially not acceptable xD

The only thing they could get out of it would be my steam account, but since he can't actually delete games and I have steamguard on my phone that shouldn't be such a big problem :3
I think the 3.5GB are rather because it was a 32 bit system and it used 500MB for the graphics card? I've seen systems like that :3
I get the "my graphics card is too weak anyway" argument but why do you have no need for 4K? I think it looks quite nice, especially with games, better than 144Hz imo :3
I would recommend a X-mainboard anyway because undervolting your CPU is easier ^^
But once you needed them, they will stay in the VRAM if there is enough space for new stuff to load and thus won't need to load that often from HDD :3
Not sure how detailed those models are from afar though, usually they only show details if you get close to save performance :3

It wasn't my suggestion though, my friend wanted to go there since they have good food ^^
Vash is less badass than I hoped he would be so far, gave me a better impression than Cowboy Bebop though :3

Wonder if you will ever tell me something good about that show, so far they just seem to skim through it xD
Soon the only weekly I'll be watching will be One Piece, I'm glad I don't feel like wtaching every seasonal as it airs ^^

Tyrantarmy6 said:
また帰るのが遅くなったね :3

Except in my case I'm not talking about when they're ill xD
I don't think they'd appreciate such brutal honesty xD

So you don't ever log in on anything other than your steam account on windows? :3
It was 64 bit though :3
Well I mean, 1440p is already quite the upgrade from 1080p and really the only thing that'd benefit from 4k are games if you can actually run them at that resolution. There's very little media out there at that resolution, certainly not anime which is what matters most, and from a desktop perspective you'd then have to deal with the scaling issues that you hear so much about. Let alone when you combine a 4k monitor with 2 1080p ones :3
And how would getting an x470 motherboard help undervolting compared to a b450 one? The cheaper ones all seem to be inferior to the b450 ones from msi in terms of features :3
But with how massively oversized textures tend to be these days I doubt they can keep that many in vram all the time, even with an 8gb gpu :3
Of course they use LODs, but when you spawn you spawn on the bed you last logged off at, which can be inside a giant space station, in a city on a planet (like the above pictured arccorp) or even inside a large space ship and the graphical details of those things are quite insane, especially considering this is inside a large scale multiplayer game (not quite an mmo yet though) where they had to redo lots of stuff like physics because Z isn't necessarily up unlike in most games, you can run around inside a spaceship that's essentially a flying fps level while someone's piloting it and they give you like the first new facial animation system ever since half life was made (unless I'm missing something here) :3
From the perspective of gameplay loops and what not there's not that much there, but at least from a technical perspective it's quite amazing what they've already got running :3

It doesn't matter who's idea is was though, all that matters is that you're yet again gonna have dinner at a restaurant :P
He's certainly quite the goofball, but you know what happens when such a character actually gets serious, right? :3

Don't think I ever will. Hell, they even had the design and sound of a certain something they introduced last episode completely wrong compared to how it was described in the LN xD
Hey, I don't watch every single seasonal anime either :3

Gator said:
"It was too late to go home?"

Depends how long they partied then? xD
But I doubt they wanna hear lies as well ^^

Hmm I don't think so. If I use Firefox, it's just for browsing some news sites while waiting for something to load :3
But only 4GB RAM hardware-wise?
I also don't have any media at 1440p, so that's not more useful than 4K for me. Scaling issue? Never heard of an issue there :3
In a B450 you can't set an offset unfortunately, only the raw number. With X470 you can do that from what I heard and that's quite useful for using the normal boost but still able to undervolt ^^
Depends on the game, Witcher 3 never uses more than 2GB VRAM, most of the time it's actually below 1GB :3
Well it's hard for me to compare it since I never played that game. The screens all look quite good and detailed, but so do Witcher 3 screens and that needs a lot less processing power ^^

I still don't see the problem with that :P
So far he only got semi-serious, avoiding bullets but still acting like a clown :3

Though I gotta admit that when it comes to novel adaptions there are often very different designs. Especially if there is not a single promotional picture ^^
But the interesting ones, I still prefer to let them finish :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
No, I simply commented again on you being late again :3

That's exactly the thing. No alcohol, no partying, nothing. Just a regular day off xD
Yep, that's why you don't have much choice but to suck it up and attend even if you don't feel like it :3

Either way I don't trust the spying of w10 one bit :3
Yep. Iirc it had some pentium 4 processor (god knows which one) with 4gb of ddr2 and a geforce 4 gpu I bought off a hardware shop for like €15 after finding out that the ancient gpu I had in it was even worse than a geforce 2 and thus had no hope of playing battle for middle earth. When I asked the guy in the shop if they had a geforce 2 gpu they looked at me like they hadn't heard that name in decades xD
But 1080p media on a 4k monitor is going to be much more obvious than on a 1440p one and at least I only ever seem to hear people complaining about hidpi scaling not working properly on linux :3
But there should be no need to undervolt it to begin with, right? :3
Even with your 8gb gpu and max settings? :3
Star citizen needing a lot of processing power isn't strange though considering what it does behind the scenes. Take the spaceships for example. The game uses a neutonian physics model for its ships and has a system built into the ships themselves (IFCS) that takes player input and translates that to what each individual thruster on the ship needs to do to do what the player asked for. All while keeping in mind things like any potential gravity and the like and what happens when say one of the thrusters is damaged. Now put 50 spaceships into an area and you can imagine just how much processing power that takes to run. Though it still runs surprisingly well. The server performance is currently the cause of 90% of the performance issues and bugs relating to things like AI :3

But I do and that's what matters here :P
If he can still act like a clown that means he can't be that serious, right? :3

In this case however it also counters the logic of the story though... not that the anime gives you enough information to notice that though ^^
Even then I don't watch all of them. Dr stone for example is supposedly pretty good, but I'm not watching it :3

Gator said:
Ohayou~ :3

I see, neither Google or I were able to translate that :3

Not even gaming until 3AM? xD
Just imagine what you could do with all that wasted social time though :3

Not like I trust it either, but for some old games I still need Windows :3
Haha I imagine his face was something like this then? xD

At least my dad watched Game of Thrones 720p on his 4K TV and it looked mighty fine. Much better than on a 1080p actually :3
Why is there no need to undervolt? Less power consumption means lower temperatures which is always a good thing :3
Yep, only tried it with my 8GB card so far. It's actually astounding how it handles the textures with such a small amount of VRAM ^^
Sounds like a lot of it should be calculated on the server directly though and not concern the clients connected to it. Else there could be potential room for abusing some of those systems somehow. Sounds complicated enough in every way though :3

You having a problem with it doesn't concern me though :P
Well he looked serious for a few scenes, then reverted back to his goofy self :3

Sounds like the anime-watchers will rate this much higher once again ^^
So why are you not watching it then? :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Ohayou~ :3

You could also run those via steam proton or lutris or something though, couldn't you? If you add them to steam as a non-steam game it should already work, no? And if you can't or don't want that then you can also run them through proton using the terminal. I for example wrote a little python script where I can add an executable to an array and then select it using a command parameter when running the script thus also allowing me to add them to the application menu :3
Something like that, yes xD

At the very least watching a 480p video on a 1080p screen is much better than doing so on a 1440p screen :3
Perhaps, but undervolting is also risky as you could break your hardware if you do it wrong :3
But the vanilla textures aren't that high res in the witcher, right? I mean, it's an open world rpg after all, and many other games use much more vram than that :3
I don't know exactly how they're dealing with that, but I do know they're currently working on refactoring the client to server and server to client traffic for that kind of stuff to reduce rubber banding and the like. If I'm right they do the calculations on the client side (better latency etc) and then send the player input to the server, have that calculate things as well and then distribute the results to the other clients and correct the original client whenever the client's results are different from the server :3
What they are also working on right now is SSOCS (server-side object container streaming) which allows them to stream in and out parts of the game world as needed which is essential for performance. Currently every object in the game needs to be loaded on the server regardless of whether there are any players close to the objects or not. SSOCS makes it so the server only loads that into memory the connected clients need to know about which should improve server performance quite a bit (this is already a thing on clients). After that they also want to work on server meshing so that each different area of the game can have its own servers assigned to it so a server doesn't need to deal with players spread out over a million locations and allow the players to interact all within the same game world... I wonder how they intend to deal with the inevitable issue of thousands of players going to the same location though :3

Yes it does, because you have to listen to my complaints :P
And what do you think about the world he lives in? It's not that bad for a sci-fi, no? :3

Well it only has a 6.23 right now so it's not that high, though still too high :3


Because I'm already watching so many to begin with :3

So how're you doing today? :3

Gator said:
I can only imagine how dreadful it would be to try making Skyrim with mods work with Proton or Wine... I think I rather do something else with my time, like enjoy some gaming xD
My very first PC had a GeForce 4 in it... and that was a long time ago, paired with a 500 MHz Pentium 3 ^^

Can't speak for 1440p, maybe it's a problem with that resolution only? :3
I doubt you can break modern hardware with undervolting, worst thing that should happen is a restart and reset of default values. Undervolting my graphics card at least did not damage it, even if I went too low :3
There are texture packs available as mods yeah, but to me the textures look quite fine. Much better than Skyrim textures and those need more space xD
So they calculate it twice or where exactly is the security in that approach? :3
Sounds like server-side LOD to me if I understood that correctly. At the very least they still seem to have a lot of problems to solve with sometimes good solutions in mind. Wonder if it will release in the next 10 years ^^

Pay for my meals and you can decide where I have them :P
Isn't that a post-apocalyptic earth? At least some places are named like cities in the real world :3

6.23 is pretty trash when it comes to MAL standards though. And that does indeed look horrible, gotta look up the studio who did that xD

Like you couldn't make room for one more :3

Doing good, had a nice dinner yesterday and watched two more episodes of Trigun. Today I'll meet up with a friend after work and stay the night, so no anime at all today T_T

How about you? :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
I've read about people managing to do that without much trouble though :3
Now imagine that I only upgraded from the hardware I mentioned in 2013 xD

I'd say it's an issue with the fact that you try to stretch 480p worth of pixels onto 1440p worth of pixels on a 32" monitor. No way that can look good :3
Either way I don't really see much need to do so unless the hardware runs way too hot :3
If the witcher looked as bad as vanilla skyrim CDPR would've had a lot of explaning to do xD
Well as I said I'm not quite sure how they do it, but the server validates things like speed, damage and collisions and what not so if the user cheats and kills another player by upping the damage of their weapon to extreme levels for example then the server will correct that player's client without it effecting any of the other players... not much that can be done about aim bots I imagine though :3
Pretty much yeah. Currently they have multiple planets and moons with landing zones and everything, combined with npcs and the thousands of objects belonging to ships and armor... servers are currently quite at their limit at what they can handle so they can't really add much more until SSOCS is done. Just like how before clientside performance was suuuuper bad before the client side version of OCS was added. God knows how long it's gonna take them to get star citizen in a state where at least all the required gameplay etc is in, but at least the single player campaign Squadron 42 is according to the ever changing roadmap scheduled for beta by the end of Q2 2020... I mean, I highly doubt that means they're gonna release it in 2020 or even 2021 as they've always had trouble with their own deadlines, but hey, it's something xD


You know that's asking the unreasonable :P
No, it's not earth, but I guess that matters about as much as how aria takes place on mars :3

From what I understand white fox was supposed to do the adaptation, but the fans weren't a fan of the character designs and the original author wasn't a fan of it either and now as a result it's done by Asread and things got 10x worse xD

By that logic I could also watch everything this season, but that doesn't mean I should :3

And I assume you can't get them to watch anime with you? :3

Doing fine I guess. Yesterday I just read some more arifureta, played some piano and wasted some more time on youtube and that's about it. Will probably try to do something else today, though I'm not quite sure yet what... could be catching up to enen no shouboutai and/or katsute kami datta kemono-tachi e, could try to get davinci resolve working again, but I could also play some more dungeons 3 :3

Tadaima~ :3

Well tbh I never tried it, I just can't imagine it working just like that :3
Were you disappointed that they had nothing older than a GF4? xD

Why should it look worse than stretching it onto 1080p though? :3
Just saving cost for electricity I guess if nothing else :3
Either way my RX580 runs at its limit in Witcher 3 1080p@Ultra though, so graphics mods are out of the question. Except maybe for texture packs ^^
But doesn't that mean it's calculating the damage twice, on the server and on the client? Guess only thing that would work against aimbots would be Google Stadia, but that has a bunch of other problems :3
Maybe they should buy some new EPYC servers then, that should put some loads from the serverside... which they will probably instantly use for other features then xD
Squadron 42 is actually the least interesting part of Star Citizen to me though, so it doesn't seem like I'll want to play it in the next 5 years ^^;

But it's not unreasonable to criticize my eating habits? :P
Hmm I thought they talked about Orleans in the last episode. Either way it looks very much like it and yes I prefer that to a space opera :3

Why would anyone prefer Asread to White Fox? Guess they got what they deserved then xD

No, because not everything seems good this season :3

I watched two seasons of SnK and OPM with him, but he isn't really into it. I gave up going any further at this point :3

Catching up sounds good and eventually playing some Dungeons 3. The opinions about that firefighter show are quite diverse though ^^

I has returned~ :3

Okaeri~ :3

I mean, I don't know about stuff like shaders, but aside from that the mods just run inside of skyrim just like a part of the game itself so as long as you can get the game running the mods should run too, no? The main thing would be to also be able to run stuff like modorganizer :3
Honestly I didn't even know it was that old when I upgraded the gpu in I think 2008 or something so if anything I was glad I was able to get an even better gpu than I wanted for just €15 xD

Well not only are there more pixels to spread out over, the 1440p monitor is also 10" larger than the 1080p one :3
If I was concerned about that though I wouldn't even consider the 3900x to begin with :3
At least you can run it at those settings, I couldn't when I last played it :3
Yeah, but if you have to wait for the server's response just to fire a bullet the input lag would be insane. That's why the game client still calculates it, but the server still calculates what it needs to in order to prevent cheating :3
How would stadia help with that though? If I run an external program to aim for me the game wouldn't be able to tell the difference, even more so if the game doesn't even run on your own pc, no? :3
Star citizen runs on AWS and they eventually want it to dynamically spin up servers as needed. Don't know how many servers it currently uses, but more servers wouldn't solve anything considering it's the server's hardware that's running at its limits due to the lack of SSOCS :3
I'd probably suck really badly at squadron 42 considering it's focused on the military aspect, but I'm at least interested in playing it :3

I'm not criticizing what you eat, just where you eat it :P
Well in aria they live in "Neo Venetia" but it's not actually venice so just because the names are the same/similar doesn't necessarily mean it has to be earth :3

I don't think they decided they wanted Asread to do it, just that it was the result of their whining xD

It never is, but you don't know that before it starts :3

So he doesn't like those 2? Then perhaps he would prefer highschool dxd? :3

I wouldn't be able to catch up completely in just one evening though. I've only watched 2 eps of enen so far, but I remember them talking about some tournament in the 2nd episode... I'm not interested in another one of those typical shounen tournament arcs so it would be nice if it didn't turn into one of those :3

Gator said:
Okaeri~ :3

With graphics mods and stuff I'm not sure if it works the same way as in Windows. Just seems like it could lead to problems. A modorganizer isn't necessary for playing at least, only for keeping some kind of order in your directory. But yeah that working would be neat as well :3
Well you were only 14 back then, so I guess I can't really blame you for not reading about grahpics cards online xD

But having more pixels is a good thing, you can have even more details. And the size of the screen doesn't really have anything to do with it, unless you also look at the distance between your display and yourself :3
Just because your CPU needs more than others, that's no reason not to optimize it and run efficiently :3
Though it sometimes goes below 60 FPS in some areas, but it's more than playable. Else I probably would've bought a Vega56 or Vega64 already ^^
But can't you cheat with everything? Damage, aim, sight through objects... the server would pretty much have to calculate everything again :3
I don't think external programs work very well with that though and those are easier to detect as well. Maybe it wouldn't completely eliminate cheating, but make it much much harder :3
That's why I did not talk about using more servers, but stronger servers instead. And I'm also not one to play a lot of FPS. Had to play CS:GO on Saturday against people who play at least one hour a day and I haven't played it for one year at least xD

That's even less of your concern :P
I just assumed it is, because why else would they name it like that? They never explained it anyway :3

Who decided on that though, isn't the author someone who can influence that as well? xD

Obviously, but you still only watch stuff you deem good so there's no difference to your current situation :3

Nah, it was already too much fanservice for him in NGNL... and it was too colorful xD

Really? I usually like tournament arcs, there aren't enough in anime imo. Supporting characters usually get some much needed screentime there :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
If it's mods that replace graphics like textures, animations, meshes etc then how is that different? In the end it's still the windows version of the game that you're running so you need the same files in the same locations and those things hardly need anything that the base game doesn't also need, no? :3
At least I managed to go home with more than I wanted for less money too xD

Of course, but when you put a 4k resolution on a 27" monitor everything will look much smaller than if you did so on say a 32" monitor. And the larger the monitor the larger the individual pixels are and thus the blurrier everything gets. Viewing an anime at 480p on a 32" monitor is going to look waay blurrier than it would on a 22" one :3
A 3900x needs almost twice the power at load that a 3700x needs so if I was concerned about the power consumption I would just go for the 3700x. I mean, how far would you have to undervolt a 3900x to keep it below 90 watts? :3
Well in my case it definitely didn't run at 60fps, but as long as the framerate isn't too unstable it's still playable :3
Of course, but if you want to prevent things like cheating on damage, movement speed, collisions etc then the server will inevitable have to calculate all of it. However if you rely solely on the server then that would have terrible concequences on the responsiveness of the controls so it's better to just correc the client when needed. As far as I know most multiplayer games these days do this in one form or another. Don't know how wallhacks work though so I also don't know if the server can do anything about that :3
And how would you detect such software? You'd have to know what the software is called and then check if it has a process running on the system, no? Seems like the kind of crap you'd find in DRM malware like denuvo :3
We don't know what kind of servers they have running already, but considering the budget, scale and the fact they're running on AWS I'd say the servers are likely already quite ridiculous :3
That's why I don't play regular online fps games either... it's much more fun in single player or against the ai together with some friends who are as bad as you are. Trying to fight against other players who do nothing else all day is no fun :3

Hey, you keep bragging about how you're eating at a restaurant again so of course I can complain :P
Don't remember if there were any explanations, but it could just be the author trying to keep things more relatable :3

If that were the case we wouldn't have so many terrible LN/VN adaptations xD

Then why am I watching arifureta? :P

Or it simply means there wasn't enough. If you show him the true meaning of desp... I mean, fanservice with something like dxd or tlr darkness then maybe he'll come to like it xD
Besides, don't you want to share with him your favourite anime? xD

Eh, I find them boring because there's so many of them and they most of them feel the same. Naruto, fairy tail, rakudai kishi, asterisk war, yugioh, pokemon, nanatsu no taizai, beyblade, hayate no gotoku, negima, deadman wonderland, bobobo, kino no tabi, nanoha, highschool dxd, OPM and pretty much every sports anime just to name some off the top of my head :3

Gator said:
Ohayou~ :3

There are sometimes also scripts that change things, like fix bugs and such which I use. Not sure if those can be executed by Wine in the same way that Windows can :3
As long as the graphics card served you well in those years, I guess that's a good outcome ^^

That's why there is something called scaling, so the symbols won't be too small on a 4K monitor. Also I rather have a "blurrier" picture on a big screen than having a hard time seeing anything on a small screen :3
There actually will be a 3900 coming as well with an assumingly 65 watt limit and people calculated how much all core boost that one will be. I don't remember the correct number, but it did not sound too bad actually. I still would go for an 8-core CPU myself as well though since it's simply enough for my work tasks ^^
Even better if you use some kind of sync technique :3
For FPS games that's probably correct, other multiplayer games like Total War and Civilization can probably get away by calculating most stuff server-side ^^
By analyzing the movement in the game for example, afaik there were already such analyze tools which could detect aimbots since they don't move around like normal players would :3
The new EPYC processors will probably be much stronger though, so it might be worth switching for them :3
I agree, which is why Warface was my favourite shooter game so far. You could play coop missions vs the AI ^^

I don't keep bragging, I was just informing you :P

You think the Overlord dude did not like season 3? xD

Because you thought it would be good? Or did you start it knowing it would be shit? :P

Nah, he's too much of a normie now. Also there is no desperation in DxD, stop saying that xD
Already showed himn SnK. Fairy Tail is too long, DxD and MonMusu too perverted, KonoSuba probably too crazy, Souma too boring. Overlord could work, Binbougamiga ga! definitely too crazy again, Sakurasou and Haganai too Japanese ^^

And in the ones I watched of those they were actually some of the best arcs. It's like you complain about a beach episode in almost every SoL anime now ;P

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Ohayou~ :3

Scripts? Skyrim uses python everywhere right? That should hardly be a problem :3
It did, until I needed to render a 10 second video for college and it took 11 hours to finish that is xD

And it's that scaling that I always read nothing about but problems. And a 22" monitor is more than large enough to see stuff on. It was easier to see things on that monitor at 480p than on the 32" one simply because of the blurriness :3
Well if the 3900 is a 12 core with a 65 watt tdp then the single and multi core performance gotta be quite a bit lower, right? In that case I'd imagine the 3700x would perform better in most situations except those that benefit explicitly from the core count :3
I don't though as I have a freesync monitor with an nvidia gpu :3
Well yeah, those are probably less dependent on responsiveness, but in those games I'd still say it's preferable to also calculate things on the client so you don't have to wait say a second in the worst case just to see how much damage a unit did :3
That seems like even more cpu intensive than star citizen's IFCS though :3
The problem isn't just the cpu but also the RAM though. Remember, the server doesn't currently know what objects are needed at any time so it permanently loads every object in the game world into memory at the same time and even just a single ship has many thousands of those. Just imagine how many GBs of memory that makes :3
Never played that one, but I often times played battlefront 2 with some friends as it also allowed you to do that. We just made a lobby and then decided all the maps and game modes per map we wanted to play, added them all to the queue and had it pick them at random in sequence so we could automatically keep going until we quit ourselves :3

I also just googled a bit on the voltage offset thing for b450 motherboards, and it seems like the msi b450 ones do actually have that option :3

For someone who isn't bragging you sure go to a restaurant often without getting bored :P

If he did like that I'd have to question his sanity xD

It's an isekai anime, what else would I assume if not that it's gonna be terrible? xD

So he wasn't that much of a normie before? :3
Maybe he would like afro samurai? I mean, it's the only anime I know that doesn't even have a japanese version and has characters voiced by actors like samuel l jackson, mark hamill and john dimaggio so it actually has a good english dub :3

Hey, I just don't like the typical tournament arcs. At least beach episodes can be enjoyable to watch :P

So how're you doing today? :3

Gator said:
Does it? I never tried making a mod, so I'm not sure what script language it uses :3
I assume rendering it with the CPU wasn't an option? xD

Never experienced any problems with it or the people I know who use it. So you'd rather have a smaller monitor for the same money? That's weird :3
Which would be most rendering and compiling software, so there's definitely a case to be made. Also you can overclock the 3900 as well, so it would be a cheaper way to get a 3900X if you're not afraid of doing that ^^
And not one of the few they support by now I assume? :3
A second isn't really much though, especially given that in Civilization for example there is an attack animation as well which takes much longer ^^
Don't know what IFCS is :3
Oh, are we back at LOD again? I was actually talking about aimbots ^^
Battlefront 2 was also a nice multiplayer game. Unfortunately I have a bunch of friends who don't like Battlefield-like games and instead would rather play CS or CoD :3

Oh, cool. My ASRock B450 doesn't have that, so I assumed it's something not availble on B450 boards ^^

If you get bored by eating out once a week, you get bored quite easily :P

Well he wrote Overlord so... I wouldn't even be surprised xD

So you watch that bad isekai anime now instead of a great isekai like KonoSuba? Now I question your sanity xD

Nope, he was one of the people I played WC3 ladder on a regular basis back in the days. But since he got a girlfriend he changed quite a bit :3
I don't think it's about the English dub though, he had no problem with subs. And I don't wanna listen to English dubs either xD

Same with tournament arcs. I rather avoid the "unnecessary drama" arcs, especially in comedy anime :3

Doing fine, played some Civ 6 with my buddy yesterday and we ordered Indian food. Sleeping somewhere else than home always takes a bit of a toll on me though ^^

How about you?

Gator said:
Tadaima~ :3

Never heard of that script language. Well as I said I'm not quite sure myself, I just saw people having problems with wine and Skyrim, especially with mods :3
Depends on the age of your CPU, a Geforce 4 isn't really fast after all ^^

I disagree there, a 480p video will look better on my dad's 4K TV than on my FullHD TV with the same size :3
Adobe software is hardly good anyway. Well the other X CPUs obviously are already running at their limit, with the non-X versions there should be more room for improvement. Not like I would need that OC either though ^^
As long as your GPU already supports G-Sync it should work, no? :3
Hmm tbh the fights take so long in Total War, not sure if that would be noticable. I'd rather say no, I can only see it being relevant in a shooter really :3
Google says it's the "International Football Camp Styria" xD
Now you lost me :3
It was quite similar when it comes to the general idea. There was a game called Battlefield 2142 which was really similar to Battlefront due to the sci-fi setting as well ^^

Yeah or you buy the MAX version which already has an updated BIOS :3

So 50 times a year is already often to you? :P

Oh, so it will end soon? Wonder if they will release an Overlord once it's finished :3

Who forces you to marathon KonoSuba? :P

Indeed, people change more often than not in a relationship :3
I guess for you that's really an achievement. I heard people say Black Lagoon and Cowboy Bebop have nice dubs as well though ^^

Of course, I liked the drama in Golden Time for example. But don't go comedy for ten episodes only to squeeze drama in the last two :3

Pretty much, I'm quite tired today. Only my own bed is the best bed ^^

Awww, seems like you'll just do the opposite of what I tell you xD

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Okaeri~ :3

The only things I can imagine causing problems would be shaders and skse :3
Depends on whether you consider a pentium 4 fast :3

And that's exactly the thing, I'm not talking about 2 monitors of the same size here :P
It is the industry standard though. But even if you did do that you'd be looking at the same power consumption again, wouldn't you? Or perhaps even a little more because the non-X version probably has worse silicon :3
If every gpu that supported gsync also supported freesync there would no longer be any reason for gsync to exist :3
But if you send a commander out onto the battlefield, it reacts immediately doesn't it? If the server first had to calculate everything for your client there would be a delay, same as with when a unit takes damage from another :3
Sigh, guess I should explain again then :P
IFCS stands for Intelligent Flight Control System and is the part of the code that translates player input into the corresponding thruster behaviour needed to make the ship do what's asked of it, within limits and in addition of things like safety systems and ship characteristics :3
You were talking about analysing the player's movement to identify if an aimbot is being used, and I responded that that sounds even more cpu intensive than the above mentioned IFCS :3
So that game also has you spawn at captured points on the map with classes you unlock as you kill more enemies and also heroes and stuff? :3

Which is also very useful, yeah. But I'm not sure if I would want the tomohawk max, or the carbon ac, because the latter has better audio and lan. I could care less about the wifi and bluetooth though :3

I have maybe 2 a year, so yeah :P

I wouldn't say soon, considering how long it takes for a volume to be released and currently no ending being in sight :3

If it's not currently airing I have to watch it separately, and I only watch 1 at once unlike you, so I'll have to finish it first, and if I don't like it so much it'll only take longer :P

Which can often times be bad for their relationship with other people :3
Black lagoon is an anime that perfectly fits the hollywood style so that wouldn't be too hard, though I don't like its dub so much :3

That's just a very specific issue with some comedy SoL anime though :3

So you also sleep very little on vacation? :3

Hey I couldn't help it that I really felt like trying to get a specific feature working that I wanted to add xD

Gator said:
Didn't even think about SKSE, that's probably the first thing :3
Hmm could be faster than a Geforce 4 though when rendering, not sure ^^

So it has nothing to do with the resolution. I still prefer to have a bigger monitor, even for a smaller video :P
As is Windows. Of course, but I would have spent less money on the CPU which is obviously an advantage :3
No no, I mean that every GPU that supports G-sync should work with every supported monitor with freesync :3
What do you mean if you send a commander out onto the battlefield? What should react then? ^^
I remember you telling me something like that, I just deemed it to be too insignificant to actually remember it since it's just a system in a game I probably will never play :3
I don't think there were classes to unlock, they were probably all unlocked from the beginning. And no lightsaber-wielding heroes either of course :3

Well I wouldn't buy a MSI board either way and would wait for the B550 instead, but I always heard good things about the Tomahawk boards ^^

So if you drink coffee once a week that would already be considered drinking coffee often? :P

At least he seems to have an ending in sight, whatever that will be. We already know who'll win in the end anyway ^^

So you only watch one at once but you watch multiple airing shows? You make even less sense than my 2 year rule :P

True, had that with a few friends of mine. Currently there is no such bad case at least :3
I never watched any anime completely with English dub, German dub was bad enough back then as a kid xD

Not even necessarily SoL anime though and it happened in way too many of them :3

I wouldn't say I sleep little, my sleep is just worth less. Don't feel as rested as I do if I sleep at home :3

And did you get it to work yesterday? :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
SKSE too should be possible to get working though :3
What if it were to turn out I did actually render with the cpu instead of the gpu though? That would be even better xD

The larger the monitor the larger the resolution needs to be to not get blurry, and the larger the resolution is than necessary the smaller everything gets. You can't tell me you can tell the difference between a 1440p and 5k resolution on a ~5" smartphone :P
Of course, but I personally don't see a use for it because if I didn't want to spend the money on a 3900x I would be better off with a 3700x anyways :3
Well obviously, if you couldn't even run a freesync monitor at all just because you have an nvidia gpu that would be very bad either for the monitor manufacturer and/or for nvidia xD
I mean that if the client doesn't do anything and just sends your input to the server which then calculates what the unit needs to do and sends the result back to the client for the commander to actually move then you would notice that delay, wouldn't you? :3
It's interesting even if only from a technical perspective though :3
Were there little robot turrets you could remote control? :3

But we don't even know anything about the b550 chipset yet and that's only gonna be released next year if at all, right? :3
At least most people seem to agree that msi has no competition in the b450 chipset motherboards unlike say on x470 or x570 :3

There's a difference between making yourself a cup of coffee at home and going to a restaurant to have dinner :P

Well he also had one in sight before but sitting at over 30 volumes, so that doesn't mean much. And we don't know that yet. We don't know whether the author wants to go the direction of ainz successfully conquering the world, of them falling apart to inner conflict or perhaps even fall to the appearance of another group of players after a 200 year odd timeskip :3

I only put a clear seperation between shows I can marathon and shows I have to wait a week between each episode :P

Well that's good at least. Besides, considering how often you have bbqs, sleep over at a friend's place etc you are either extremely close with a few friends, or have a very large number of them left :3
I rather listen to the german dubs than the english ones, but afro samurai actually has a good dub so it's the only exception I can think of right now xD

Even if it happened in only 1, it'd still be too much :3

Kinda like taking sleep medication then? :3

Partially. I wanted to add a confirmation step to the registration form etc in case the provided password was better than the minimum requirements, but still not very strong. So far I've got it working that it shows you a checkbox and what not, but I still need to slightly alter the validation so it doesn't use the same threshold in both checks and I need to make it so that the other fields in the form become hidden in the confirmation step :3
Well, I guess I can't really blame him for trying the nuclear option if wordpress itself refuses to work again xD

Gator said:
It better be, can't play without it. I think SkyUI needs it as well :3
I doubt you can find out what you did back then though? xD

You just told me your example doesn't work with two monitors at the same size but different resolution, so it's not a resolution-related problem obviously :P
If I had to buy a new CPU I would wait for the 3700 non-X :3
You don't understand what I'm saying, nVidia GPUs that support G-sync can use freesync on some freesync monitors xD
You make it sound like the calculation will take multiple seconds, it's not like the unit will even move instantly :3
I played that only a few times, maybe 2 or 3 times, I don't remember if there were turrets like that ^^

They will probably be the same as B450 but with PCIe 4.0 and updated BIOS :3
Because they have mainboards that support Ryzen 3000 out of the box, yeah :3

So something you do at home 50 times a year won't count as "often", but something you do in a restaurant 50 times a year does? :P

200 year timeskip sounds bothersome though. Has he even met other players in the LNs yet? :3

That separation exists for no clear reason though, you could just treat a finished show as a weekly as well and you wouldn't notice a difference :P

Depends what a large number would be to you, I usually invite 15-20 people to my birthday party who I enjoy having around and do stuff with. Friends I can talk about everything with I have only a few :3
I only remember the German dub of Dragonball Z being really horrible, forgot most about the other shows luckily xD

Exactly, luckily I was quite fortunate with the latest comedy shows I've watched so far :3

Never used sleep medication, so I don't know how that feels afterwards ^^

Sounds like some rather bothersome work tbh, will you try to finish it today? :3
Wordpress really seems to be quite a bitch to work with xD

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Let's see... I don't have that pc anymore, don't have the software either, nor do I have the project files or the rendered video so... I can't xD

I'm just saying that if you run a monitor at 4k resolution then you have more pixels to spread 480p out over. The result would be no different than trying to stretch a 480px image onto a 1920px area even if the monitor itself isn't that large. Or does your monitor magically change resolution based on what you're looking at? :P
So you would overclock it instead? :3
Not mine at least xD
Well I can't use freesync with mine :P
We're still talking about making external requests which are much much slower than doing things localised and you have no control over how fast it is. It could take a second easily if you say live in australia or something, or the server you gotta connect to has issues, or your own internet is slow etc etc :3
At least battlefront 2 there were. Good times :3

Isn't it not having pcie 4 support like the only thing we know so far? And besides, it's the pcie 4 support that make those x570 motherboards so ridiculously overpriced, so if the b550 motherboards turn out the same way I'd still go with a b450 instead :3
Well that too, but I read all dem reviews and what not before the max version was released :3

There's a thing known as relativity. You also breathe god knows how many times a year but that doesn't mean you breathe a lot as what is a lot is always relative to something else that isn't :P

No he hasn't, but players seem to get summoned around every 200 years so if ainz really is the only player that got summoned in the current time period and they don't collapse due to inner conflict like the eight greed kings did 600 years prior then he would meet new players 200 years later, and if those happen to be like the eight greed kings then it's unlikely that ainz would win :3

That would just make it into another weekly show which would mean I'd not only need ages to complete it, I would also have less time to watch other weeklies :P

Well I remember just about every dutch dub I've ever watched to be absolutely awful to the point that even the english dubs seem godlike xD

At least iyashikei anime don't have such drama arcs in them. Otherwise they'd hardly qualify as iyashikei :3


Of course it is, when do you ever hear any programmer say anything good about it? xD

Gator said:
Ohayou~ :3

Figured as much xD

And once again I wonder where your problem with that is. You don't wanna tell me that lower resolutions are better and you don't wanna tell me that smaller displays are better, so what exactly is it that you wanna tell me? :P
Nah, my R7 1700 has a max boost of 3,75GHz and does everything without any problems. A Ryzen 3000 surely needs no overclocking to work for me either :3
Guess that only leaves an AMD card for buying next time ^^
That's a problem with all multiplayer games though, synchronizing always has to be done by the server and if you have a bad ping there will be issues no matter where you calculate gameplay-stuff :3
And here I thought you dislike shooter games ^^

Is PCIe 4.0 really that expensive? I thought these are just the usual first adopter prices and will go down eventually :3
And MSI got the best reviews? Well I'm not a fan of ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte, so these are not an option for me anymore ^^

So once again I wonder how eating outside once a week could be described as often if you eat mutliple times a day. Where's your relativity in that? :P

Guess there's too much information in that which I don't know yet of simply have forgotten. But there could actually be someone who is stronger than Ainz? :3

So you can't possibly squeeze one more episode per week in, but you can spend a whole evening on your programming project :P

That might have something to do with your aversion to the Dutch language in the first place? xD

Had to google that term since I never heard of it. What anime is that anyway? :3


Well I haven't heard much about wordpress from anyone except you in general... and from memes online xD

I simply want to tell you that 480p and other small resolutions like that look worse on larger screen sizes/resolutions :P
Then you could do fine with a 3600 too, couldn't you? :3
I was already planning on getting an amd card next anyways :3
When it has to correct you and what not then yes it gets worse, but at least the input won't be delayed if the server corrects you rather than determines it for you in the first place :3
That's because they're not like battlefront 2. I don't want to play an online shooter like CoD or whatever where you gotta play with and against random people I don't know, I want to play coop against the ai on well designed maps with fun gameplay :3

It's also the reason why all those motherboards (bar 1) have active chipset cooling... I mean c'mon, the prices of an x570 motherboard even now a month after release still start at like €180 for the absolute dirt cheapest option with barely any features all the way up to motherboards above €700 ^^
At least amongh the b450 motherboards they do. What kind of bad experience do you have with msi then that you refuse to ever get another msi motherboard then? Doesn't every manufacturer have good and bad boards? :3

Because there's a clear difference between making your own food at home and going to a restaurant to eat someone else's cooking. You may not believe me when I say this, but most people don't even have the money to go eat at a restaurant all the time :P

Ainz isn't all that strong really. He designed his build for role playing purposes rather than being the best at dealing with pvp like other guild members like touch me. Because of this combined with the sheer number of spells he can use due to a ritual he used he's described as being around the upper tiers of the mid-tier strength. Shalltear for example belongs in the lower tiers of the high-tier strength, making her build stronger than ainz's. Ainz is said to be really good at strategy which allows him to win against even opponents far stronger than him, but only after learning about his opponent's abilities by oftentimes forfeiting the first match. He already knew all of shalltear's abilities into the details and devised a strategy to deal with her and that's why he won. Against touch me however who was one of the top players in the whole game he couldn't win no matter what strategy he used despite knowing all about his skills. He also admitted that if he were to encounter another player at his level he doesn't know that his chances of victory would be pretty small :3

Hey, countrary to what you may believe I don't intend to watch anime episodes every minute of spare time I have :P

That too, but the acting itself is also just that terrible. We dutchies don't have a single half decent actor/voice actor left because any decent ones we once had left for america because there the job actually pays the bills xD

You've heard it before as I've mentioned it multiple times before. That anime is yuru camp. A very relaxing SoL about some girls going camping :3


Praise yourself lucky I say xD


So how're you doing today? :3

Gator said:
And I still disagree and when it comes to the size of the screen it always depends on from how far away you look at it :P
I could yes, but as I told you already I don't like those weird numbers. Also downgrading from 8 cores to 6 cores would be strange as well :3
Because of nGreedia's business practices? :3
Input gets delayed in WC3 with a bad ping as well, despite the calculations happening on the client :3
Sounds like you could enjoy a round of Warface then as well ^^

I don't see a difference to X470 though. After two years on the market you have to pay 80 bucks for a good X370, after one year on the market you have to pay 130 bucks for a good X470 and after one month on the market you have to pay 180 bucks for a good X570. Seems like a steady difference in prices tbh ^^
It's less about my experience with them and more about their questionable decisions when it comes to AMD hardware, GPP for example :3

Most people where? In Munich? In Bavaria? In Germany? In Europe? In the World? :P

Well obviously he's strong in comparison to other characters in the world, I already know about Touch Me. But most of the time he's simply untouchable no matter what opponent he's up against. I guess Shalltear had a chance of winning, but she's one of the few people in Nazarick who possibly pose a threat to him without knowledge :3

Then you should stop watching Arifureta since it's just a waste of time anyway and do something better with that precious time :P

Tbh anime voice actors never sound like they are professionals except if they work in Japan xD

Oh yeah, I know Yuru Camp. I just don't know any of its characters, which is why I did not recognize it. Hmm might be worth adding to my list ^^


At least I made sure that my new job has nothing to do with wordpress xD


I'm hella tired today for some reason, didn't even go to bed that late. Maybe it's still an effect from yesterday's sleepover. Watched two episodes of Trigun, which hopefully will stop its episodic nature now, and the beach episode of Hajimete no Gal. My fanservice expectations were not met unfortunately T_T

How about you? :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
And we're talking about pc monitors here, and I don't know about you, but people don't usually sit far away from a pc monitor, maybe a meter at most :P
But in terms of single core performance it's better than a 1700 so even with 2 cores less it should still perform better in most situations :3
Mostly, yeah, but also because I have a freesync monitor and that amd actually seems to have better drivers on linux :3
But WC3 is a really old game, no? Does that game even use a server based multiplayer system instead of p2p? :3
Just took a quick look on steam and it seems to be a windows exclusive free to play MMO with an obvious pay to win element and bad reviews... doesn't seem very promising to me :3

But not a single one of those ever came close to the prices of high end x570 motherboards... when you can get a b450 motherboard with more features than an 200 buck x570 something's wrong. I've also read on reviews that the low end x570 motherboards aren't worth getting compared to high end b450 motherboards or some decent x470 motherboards :3
Wasn't gpp just another one of nvidia's attempt at buying amd out of the market? :3

Everywhere in the world where the average person isn't a rich f*ck who has enough money left to spend hundreds of euros on restaurant visits in a month :P

Sure, in the new world no characters have been introduced yet that could truly beat ainz, but here we were talking about what would happen if ainz encountered another player :3

Since I've started watching it I have to finish it :P

That's why I said afro samurai is an exception for me as it actually has good VAs xD
But in most anime the english cast just doesn't have the... passion that the japanese cast seems to have. Never heard the english dub of inou battle for example, but I gotta feel pity for whoever has to voice hatoko in it considering how good of a job hayami saori did :3

And it aired right after konohana kitan, another one of those great iyashikei shows :3


Wordpres uses a completely different programming language so it'd be strange if you even had the risk of having to use it xD


Not enough oppai? :3

Doing fine I guess. Continued on the programming a little bit after all, but that didn't last very long as I suddenly had to join a voice chat with me friend so we could play some games... first tried to play some online age of mythology which ended in nothing but desync errors, then we tried to play some space engineers which didn't work at all (and I'm not gonna install protontricks to get it working either) so in the end we didn't actually manage to play any games :3

Gator said:
Tadaima~ :3

You were talking about 5'' displays, don't tell me you use something like that with your PC :P
Yeah it's about 14% faster even in multicore applications, but my GPU will limit anyway in games and I don't use Blender that often :3
The drivers in linux are really surprisingly good these days, I remember some years ago when the open drivers were quite bad ^^
Not sure, but even Diablo 2 is a server/client architecture so I don't think it has anything to do with age :3
Oh yeah, it is Windows exclusive indeed. Never noticed any P2W element though, probably because I only played coop anyway. Did not spend a cent in those months I played :3

Well of course you can compare the most expensive models, but then I could also complain that an expensive RX56 costs 715 bucks and is the worst deal in the history of GPUs ^^
What B450 board is better than a X570? :3
Pretty much, they wanted to force GPU companies to only sell their products under a gaming tag. ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte agreed :3

Hundreds of euros? How much do you think I spent every time I go to a restaurant? Also "Everywhere in the world" isn't a very specific argument :P

That other player could very well be a PvE player as well though :3

So you will watch a crappy show till the end but won't start a much better show for stupid reasons :P

I don't know if I even wanna watch Afro Samurai though, especially not dubbed xD
Haha yeah that's true. Just redid my favourites lists the other day and Hayami Saori and Itou Shizuka are by far my favourite voice actresses. That Hatoko performance was amazing ^^

Which is another show that's not on my list yet, though it looks just too cute for me I think :3


Unless my new employer created their websites with it xD


Not enough good oppai scenes as well. Also that oppai loli looks disturbing :3

So you just talked a bit and failed to play some games? I hope the talk was at least nice ^^

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Okaeri~ :3

That was obviously talking about the pointlessness of UHD resolutions on a small smartphone screen and you know it :P
But you liked messing around in blender, no? :3
Apparently the clock speeds are gonna be an issue on my setup with the current drivers but eh, should still be better than how with nvidia's proprietary drivers I need to edit configuration files and enable really bad performance options just to get rid of comically bad screen tearing... you know, kinda like how you see in those marketing images for freesync and the like xD
At least I know that many older games I played like age of empires and age of mythology all used a p2p multiplayer model :3
Well I just visited the steam page and saw a bunch of really expensive "VIP" gear and headstart dlc etc :3

In the case of the x570 boards it's not just a single model that's overpriced, it's everything except the absolute lowest end. Most of them are still way over 200 bucks and quite a few even over 400 :3
Take for example msi's b450 gaming carbon ac and compare it to msi's own version of the same motherboard but then x570. They both have roughly the same features except that the x570 has the newer chipset and thus probably some better memory support and pcie4. The b450 costs around 150 bucks whereas the x570 costs 280 bucks. With that kind of price difference I'd expect more of a difference. Hell, I could get an x470 taichi ultimate for less and that thing has stuff like dual lan chipsets, one of which supporting a 10gbit connection, and it also has stuff like ECC memory support, an nvme heatsink, more pcie slots, more usb slots and even more sata connections :3
Nothing actually came from it though luckily. Nvidia should've been properly punished for trying that though :3

Even if we assume you only spend 20 bucks each time, you'd still be spending 80-100 bucks a month just for 4-5 visits excluding drinks and I know people who don't even have enough financial breathing room for that :P
And here even just a simple pancake with nothing on it sets you back around 8 bucks each with a glass of water costing like 2-3 bucks each too so considering many dishes are way more expensive than that I'd say that's a very generous estimate too :P

But even a pve build could be well optimised. After all, if you can deal with the high end players with your build you can also deal with a bunch of mobs :3

That's just the age old try not to drop anything policy many people have :P

I found it great fun to watch with my friend though. It's just so utterly ridiculous xD
Itou Shizuka? Because she voiced akeno? :P
Yeah, regardless of whether she really managed it in just a single take like some people say that was one hell of a performance. I probably had the same expression on my face during that scene that the mc had :3

It's not just a cute foxgirl anime though. It's an episodic SoL that takes place at a supernatural inn and the foxgirl and her companions tend to the guests who have their own worries to deal with and resolve them in quite the sweet way. One episode in particular was pretty amazing in terms of directing where a single scene at the end can completely change the meaning of the entire episode :3


Even if they did, they can hardly tell a java dev to work with wordpress, can they? xD


Haven't seen it so I don't know about the oppai loli :3

Of course, there was nothing wrong with that. It's just too bad the games didn't work. Space engineers apparently needs some tweaks using protontricks to get working, but that has wine as a dependency, and I don't want to actually install wine on my system. I don't know what would happen if I were to say install lutris with flatpak though... would wine be isolated to the container and not be useable outside it? :3

Gator said:
No I don't because you talk about size and resolution and mix it up :P
Yeah, but it's still quite fast with my 8-core, rendering speed is the least thing I can complain about ^^
The clock speed, really? So it won't run @stock? Though I think freesync isn't available yet out of the box in the OSS linxu driver? Not like I could use it anyway xD
If I had use drophacks back in the time I might have known more... but I did not ^^
I never played it through steam, the stuff in the shop really is expensive though. But almost all of it you can buy with ingame currency :3

I just look at the cheaper ASRock models anyway, the Pro4 series is quite good for the price :3
Meh, that's MSI for you I guess. I appreciate that they bring updated B450 boards into the market, but their stuff is often heavily overpriced. Though ASUS is even worse :3
Well with ASUS you can still see the impact it had with "AREZ" instead of "ROG" versions of the vega graphics cards available for example. Luckily they seemed to have dropped that crap with navi :3

Rather 20 bucks including drinks. And I would dare to say that most people in Germany can afford that :P
Like I just said, I don't spend as much money on that as you think. Most of the time I get a meal for 10-15 bucks and then a glass of water, so I'm staying below 20€ 90% of the time :P

At least in the MMOs I played that wasn't the case, in Guild Wars a PvE build was very very different from a PvE build. Tried to play World vs World with my PvE warrior once... not very successful xD

I know, that's also my policy. But saying you can't watch KonoSuba because it's not a season anime is really weird, since non-seasonals have only advantages :P

I had to watch Shingeki no Kyojin and Full Metal Panic with English dub, that was hard enough xD
And Haruka. And Irina. And Takao. And Luvia. And Fujiko. And Christiane. And Meiko. And Rindou. And Bellows. And Kaori :P
One of the few times where I had to rewatch a scene because of the great voice acting a few times, you could really feel the emotions ^^

Hmm maybe if I run out of SoL anime to watch I'll think about it. Still have 36 on my PTW list with Blend S, Grand Blue, Harukana Receive, Mahoutsukai no Yome, Ranma, Sora yori mo Tooi Basho, Sunohara-sou no Kanrinin-san, Toradora! and Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e being on my priority list as well :3


Well if they pay for wordpress training... xD


Not that far away from Eiken unfortunately :3


I never used flatpack, so I don't know a lot about it. I have wine installed on my system though, need it to play WoW and Gothic 1 & 2 ^^

@Gator, how're you doing today my good sir? :3

Gator said:
Meowning, seems like you're just as tired as I am ^^

Had a big party on Saturday and I can still feel how late I went to bed, which is probably why I'm still so tired even though it's already Wednesday. Started Softenni on Monday and watched more Trigun. Else I didn't do much since my trains got delayed for 1 hour on Monday and 1,5 hours yesterday... hopefully I'll come home normally today xD

How was your vacation? :3
