The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

How I celebrate every December 31 going to January 1:
I go to sleep like a sane person at my normal time as if it were a normal day and get up at normal time.

Yeah figured. just find it interesting that they potentially had better polaris dies and either they couldn’t or didn’t use that for their flagship gaming card but I guess we’ll never know.

In other news im getting into cataclysm dda again

Nice. I need to get back to that sometime. Game still runs like a champ on my router though but will likely recompile for Linux when I play it again.

game will run on pretty much anything that can use ncurses

Yep what makes it so great. wasn’t exactly straight forward to get that on pfSense though but worked in the end. Right now I’m not sure whether I want to do a tiles build on Linux or just stick with ncurses.

tiles build is only good if you dont like looking at the text characters

I might stick with ncurses then. I mean whats wrong with looking at text characters :joy:

i prefer the ncurses build myself

yep I quite liked the ncurses build when I played it. also satisfies that “play it on anything” requirement which you can’t get from the tiles version.

Woooo for working today (holiday so time and a half which is nice I guess) but was supposed to start at 550 AM. The people didnt show up to let me in until 620AM though lol…
Otherwise a pretty decent day other than it starting out at -20 with a wind chill of -50 F

At this rate I wont even need dry ice for extreme OC just can stick my PC outside rofl

Actually…
Anyone want me to do an extreme OC live stream lol?
Because it definitely is cold enough for me to probably get some really good OCs just by sticking my rig(s) outside

Also will probably be streaming some … Assassins Creed Rogue, or possibly others today as well.
Though with Rogue my play style is completionist so it sometimes is boring to watch but still.
I could I suppose do Wolfenstein II or Cossacks 3 but am newb at both of those lol. Or some of the other new games I got over the holidays

That was “only” around 0 degress lol.
With COLD wind chill

Also now that I actually have an SSD as my boot drive there won’t be issues with the hard drives freezing lol
Because that’s a thing

Yeah only 0 degrees. Is that in F or C? never really gets below -5C here.

0 F.
Which is… Iirc -17 or something close to it.

-20F is… Lower… In C. Though at -40 they are the same.

Decent for overclocking but fuck having to stay outside in that.
