The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

That seems like a lot of unnecessary work when can just have a separate linux box but maybe thats just me lol.

Well if you have no other option its a pretty decent device, before Sony discontinued the feature there were people using these as their main computers and were quite happy with them and is the main reason for the class action lawsuit against them for removing it, plus it would fun to play around with as well.

Iā€™ve been poking at tweaking my Vega 56 for the better part of the weekend, just trying to find that perfect balance point in performance and power that wonā€™t trip OCP on the 450W.

Far left is the first run of overclocked settings before I began undervolting, power draw from the wall was 416W. Center is my current undervolted overclock, (technically underclocked, but Vegaā€™s clock tuning system is black magic fuckery and underclocking the max PState actually overclocks the core) power from the wall: 362W. Far right is the maximum power limit with my current settings, power from the wall: 391W.

13% faster than the stock ā€œBalancedā€ preset the card runs at out of the box, 5-8% faster than a quick overclock. Most importantly, 4% faster than a GTX 1080 at 2GHz and I could still go higher if I wanted to, unlike most 1080s.

Weā€™ll see how she stacks up to RTX when they actually launch, but I only run 1440p so Iā€™m not worried.

Project Space Writing Report:
Still on Chapter 2. The reader is getting to understand the main character better. Her crisis has caused her to face herself in a way. Apart of the main purpose of this story is the character coming to terms with themselves. The other part is how she deals with the horror events. Iā€™m pleased with the pace of the story. Like I said before I have no idea how long the chapters will be when I translate them to text. I consider what Iā€™m doing a very intense first pass that captures the tone I want for the story. The transferring wonā€™t happen till I finish the whole story. I have been writing at least a page a day since I started the story.

end report.

Video game news:
Anthem wonā€™t have full face customization.

Bioware is dead. Everything Iā€™ve heard about this game paints this game as mmo light with very little actual story.

I mean even Fallout 76 letā€™s you customize what youā€™re face looks like. Also Warframe though it is very late in the game and has a neat story to go with it.

Iā€™m not getting Anthem ever.

Fallout 76 is a wait and see.

Iā€™m slightly interested in Fallout 76 but more Because it seems like it might be good than that its fallout (I donā€™t care about fallout games so if the fallout 76 game is actually a good game I might play it but otherwise could care less).
I know people who already bought it on pre-order and they were like
ā€œBecause falloutā€
ā€¦ K then.

I mean how the roll out of dedicated servers and mods will greatly impact how that game does. We donā€™t have to long to wait for the game to see how it goes.

More game news :
Remedyā€™s Control is using a new physics engine :

They say it is a Middleware but donā€™t name it. It may be something by Nvidia but then again it could be someone else.

Control sounds promising but it is still wait and see.

Huh. Logan and newegg working together.

Something that mightā€¦ Actually use DX12 features? No way!
:stuck_out_tongue:

Seems interesting though.

I convinced Redacted to let me go as a tester. We had a good relationship and correspondence and I can say all my feedback was heard and addressed. But I need more time for writing so convincing them took a bit. Iā€™m still under the lifetime NDA though. There is a very very good reason it is lifetime. What did I get of it?: Relationship with Redacted and Knowledge [Vague I know but itā€™s all I can say].

With that Iā€™m official retired as a tester.

RIP this is horrible, remakes should always strive to take the original essence of the game and improve it but this isnā€™t Majoraā€™s Mask at all. its like they took the world and story and made an entirely different Zelda game out of it ignoring what made it great :frowning:

Them bloody coppers came today and took our dish washer!:scream:

What? the Police took your dishwasher?

Yup.
My grandma knows two police women from the place where she goes to drink coffee every day and they offered to take our broken dish washer to the dump (cause we donā€™t have a car). Mustā€™ve looked funny when we put the dish washer in the police bus xD
