Short version:
CLASSIFIED

Long Version:
CLASSIFIED

But I can say I am going to be doing the write up for:
CLASSIFIED

It will be up to CLASSIFIED if CLASSIFIED use it.

I know that is a vague answer but it is the one I can give.

aaand back home
found random gifts
took a long time because when it snows suddenly everyone forgets how to drive -____-

what to do , what to do lol.
I may play WoT on stream, not sure tho as I rage sometimes when playing it so
half tempted to make my strange keyboard work but don’t have an RJ cord adapter anywhere, and idk if i want to take it apart yet because then i wouldnt be able to test the simple RJ adapter. hmmm

insert more rambling.jpg

but yeah. randomness

also just discovered that there’s two settings for RGB on my keyboard that seem the same but actually aren’t.
One is always on RGB in whatever color you want
and the settingI’m using currently that seems the same but it turns off the LEDs when you type on them and then it fades back to being on after you stop pressing them.
So it’s like the one that turns on the RGBs when you press the keys… but in reverse.
How intriguing

So I managed to get pci passthrough working on my machine and have been checking out Looking Glass (KVMFR) and damn it is amazing. latency is almost none existent which makes playing Windows games on a Linux desktop almost seamless. It is still very early and has tons of bugs but the potential is huge and can’t wait to see where it goes. I’m currently going to do way more testing with this and will likely make a forum topic about it soon to outline my experiences with it.

Just got both the Battlestations games for $11 because why not. Probably will stream Pacific when it’s done downloading in a few minutes.
(Didn’t end up streaming yesterday because Awesomehardware was on YT so… also finding that when I stream a lot I can’t watch as much content and stuff which is meh?)

kek Battlestations Pacific is old enough to need Windows Game thingy installed

just reset skyrim up with reshade :smiley:
@wolfleben reshade has added a lot more presets now wow
also made skyrim look a ton better and still runs at 60FPS at 4k on my 390
not bad at all

and yes i like the dark, but vibrant thing
more realism i guess? because you actually need torches and the like lol. Also colors are good

edit:
also moar pics

3.1 Reshade is pretty amazing.

Also if you’re feeling brave There is Enderal still. And if you want to install it, here is Gopher’s Video on how to do that and preserve your original modded skyrim:

Only catch no enbs. But I never used ReShade on Enderal so it might be okay? I’ll test it this weekend and let you know.

I would do that but I’ve not played anything extensively other than Skyrim in the series. (I dont even own any of the older games). I have played some of TES IV but not much (maybe 10 hours tops). The others are too old for me to really get into, the oldest games I can play and enjoy are Thief and AoE but that’s also because I grew up with those lol.
Something about a lot of older games just really don’t get my attention much unless its an outstanding older game that still holds up well today.

If I get the old games I might also do enderal. Not sure if I will tho…

edit
waaiiit a minute
@wolfleben i derped
lol got enderal and the one that mixes the old and new games switched up

enderal seems cool actually

Also just updated to the new drivers
Currently seems to work… Testing now.

Well seems like with a 50% extra power limit can do 1090Mhz core now. Previously was stable at the same power at 1080mhz
Interesting.
Also perf seems to have gone up 3-6% (on top of the minor boost to the OC) with the 390 depending on the game so not too bad overall.

The new features are kinda cool (the overlay is useful) but some don’t work still like Twitter in Adrelin.
Overall decent driver set with some added features that are useful… If they work.

also I don’t know how tags work so tagging @wolfleben again for edit in earlier post just in case it didn’t show up

Ended up boosting my 390 to 1090mhz core and 1560 mhz on the memory up from the stock 1040/1500 which isnt bad. Messing with the displays is somewhat interesting.

Also enhanced sync works well for some games but horribly in others. World of Tanks it was terrible in, but Skyrim it worked well in.
Overall a mixed bag but generally good.

I finished reading the 220 pages of legal documents. I was right, it is depressing.
