Exactly, so itā€™s just a huge circle-jerk about it. Of course people withhold judgement when talking about AMD thoughā€¦ such a stupid double-standard

Project Space Report:
Iā€™ve written a page and a halfā€¦ also writing after work cause I really want to make a solid foundation for the first chapter. The main character hasnā€™t said anything yetā€¦ However from reading you would know: what she looks like, she is nervous and worried about something. Do I give you a clue as the reader? Yes and by the end of the chapter I revisit the clue in a different way.

RTX 2080 TI, the new Vega 64

In other news, possibly moving soon. Possibly. Going to probably sell all my random tech stuff I happen to have as well more than likely; I have my dual ryzen setup so really dont need my FX or Core systems lol. Or for that matter Phenom. Though Iā€™ll likely keep the Sabertooth 990FX r3 just because its fairly rare. And I like Sabertooth boards, at least the old ones anyway.

I should probably stream more as well, but I mostly enjoy hanging out with people and happening to be streaming than anythingā€¦ Amd also the fact that most of my games other than like War thunder and Quake Champions that I play are strategy doesnt help viewership and chat at all lol. I love strategy games and whatnot but I also get that they are boring to watch someone play because yeah. Strategy game.

Now kind of just rambling as its a slow day at work :stuck_out_tongue: tomorrow might be actually busy though so that could be nice.

I like watching them, but yeah, most people just want PUBG/Fortnite nowadays. Hell even Rocket League doesnā€™t have the same level of viewership as it used to outside of rlcs tournaments.

Now to work through 6616 instrumental songs to make a new playlist to listen to. The playlist does have a theme but I got to work through the music to match the songs to the theme. AI canā€™t do what I do because it doesnā€™t account for a song flowing into the next nor my mood.

Well shit. So this is a thing now.

if you dont want to click on the Forbes link for reasons then basically Steam made Proton, which is WINE but it actually is nice. Now can run basically any windows game on SteamOS except Ubishart or other ones with similarly bad DRM

likeit

Not Sure if its in the latest release of the OS but assuming so. It also uses Vulkan so thats cool.
Whether or not anyone will play on linux now is a different story but I might play with it some to see what its like. Idk if I would use it though because SteamOS lol. Still. Interesting.

Yep Iā€™ve been testing it all day and its really quite good. It works with a surprising number of games Iā€™ve tried with it and those that do run seem to work well also.

As of right now no, its in the Steam client beta branch for Linux right now and Its still early and needs a lot more testing though but its very promising and just maybe this will mean I wonā€™t have boot into Windows so often just to play games :smiley:

-when random people message me asking oddball questions about overclocking hardware ive mentioned in really old posts on Reddit
ā€¦
I dont know how to react to this, lol.
On the one hand I like to help sometimes
On the other; if you are asking some guy on Reddit about overclocking (when thereā€™s multitudes of resources online and etc) you may not be the brightest bulb so Iā€™m not sure I can help :stuck_out_tongue:

Its amazing the stuff people can come up with to mod iPhones todo things they were not able to.

3 pages written so far. The main character still hasnā€™t said anything. She is about to be introduced to the other medical officers.

Is this MASH in space? Nope.

Hmm. Just remembered my 2700x+RX 570 system currently doesnt have an OS because I pulled the drive for QC, but still has a 4tb one. I might try out linux again on that and the new steam thing for games and see how it goes; as that hardware is Vulkan capable and all. Hmmm.
Will probably wait until after I finish my current save of Civ V though which might be a few days lol. Because yay for doing GIANT maps with max civs and max city states.

In other news people keep trying to stir up stuff with AMD now; especially after the Nvidia GPU announcement lol to create drama or some similar thing. Also other people trying to fish for leaks and such on the official AMD discord and ā€¦ Well.

Lol. Moderating can be fun sometimes. Other times its just annoying.

An acquaintance of my grandmaā€™s is coming over soon to take a look at the dripping jerry-rigged connection of our washing machine to see if thereā€™s something we can do to solve the issue or at least stop the dripping. Not gonna remove the sealing tape unless itā€™s really necessary as we can use the washing machine in the current state (safe for ~1 drop of water leaking per minute).

For some reason shit like this is causing me stress and to feel uncomfortable (when stuffā€™s not working, getting it done professionally costs too much and thus itā€™s up to me to come up with a semi-professional solution). And my relatives expect that from me as ā€œIā€™m my grandfatherā€™s grandsonā€ (who did all the handy work that he taught himself). I guess it comes down to high expectations I donā€™t feel confident enough to meet. But not doing it would mean spending lots of money.

edit: The guy came over (legitimately nice guy, reminds me a bit of Sam Elliot in The Big Lebowski with the mustache) and after some looking at the situation and thinking he came up with 2 possible solutions: find an adapter that fits the PVC pipe and has threads on the other end to screw in a drain knee (?, not sure if thatā€™s the correct term in English) so the hose from the wash.mash. fits on it. Or: buy a hose, cut it to length, connect it to the wash.mash.'s hose and run it through the pvc pipe (which will be cut open on the other end) and connect it to the sinkā€™s siphon.

Those options sound very solid. Iā€™m really relieved that this guy helps us with this.
