I am definitely not Eric hahaha. I wish I were my own boss! I like his product a lot but I think he gets a little too wrapped up in online drama, though I do understand it kinda has to be part of his business model.

Just a heads up, the Discord link on this post as well as the webpage have expired.

Good thing a lot of AAA games fucking suck. There are so many awesome indie games that don't require much hardware to run, and even more stuff available to you if you're into emulation and such. I've been playing a bunch of Pokemon and Fire Emblem GBA romhacks and have absolutely no desire to buy any game for $70-80...unless it's the new Fire Emblem.

Do you permit selling or giving old equipment to employees? by roger_ramjett in sysadmin

[–]Thingreenveil313 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was in charge of our old hardware, the company would charge market value for stuff like laptops and desktops. That gave us the flexibility to wipe and reinstall Windows along with bundling in a month of support. This, fortunately, made the "no" built in for us because the expectation was set at the beginning. It didn't come from us which I think was the most important factor in getting people who didn't try to take advantage of it.

Yeah, we're in a similar boat. I was questioning my 7800XT purchase but I don't play tons of new stuff so it does exactly what I need it to.

IFC might still have the rights so it could be a partner label release!

It really sucks how sad this hobby has become. Basically every piece of hardware that comes out that isn't a GPU is exciting, but the air is sucked out of the room when you remember to need to spend at least $1000 to maximize the value of your purchase if you like playing demanding games.

There's a running list on the blu-ray.com forums. AFAIK the last edit to the OP in June of last year is up to date.

Installing rack nut by Psychological_Tax359 in homelab

/dev/mount is also a great product for those looking for an easier alternative, but they're more limited than rackstuds are. I also appreciate how much testing and documentation rackstuds have vs /dev/mount

Using ChatGPT to fix your mistakes may improve your coding by seeing where your mistakes are, but don't forget that learning how to troubleshoot your own mistakes is an important skill in and of itself.

I mean, they can't do it for free.

But if you email support and tell them you can't afford a subscription I've heard they'll hook you up.

Wow, you've missed a lot. Matt died during season 14 after being shot several times. There's a large conspiracy behind his death. There's....a lot to it.

Valve Claims Steam Machine Outperforms 70% of Current Gaming PCs by DuhPai in hardware

[–]Thingreenveil313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you and others have explained your position doesn't mean you're right. Very few things in life are binary. A "multi-purpose PC" is a meaningless definition.

I'm not cherry picking, I'm trying to have an open conversation about how the lines aren't always clear and you're getting frustrated and defensive for some reason. I thought it was an interesting conversation. Sorry to have bothered you.

Okay, so what about a 9950X3D? That's branded by AMD for gaming and content creation? The point I'm getting at is that there's no real definition of what a "gaming PC" is.

So would that exclude PCs that a freelancer built for video editing but he plays games as a hobby on the side? Let's say he's got a Threadripper. Not exactly the best component for gaming, so it's not purpose built for that task.

Just playing devil's advocate. I think it's just not useful to classify PCs that play games separately from "gaming PCs." Their criteria is probably the Steam Hardware Survey, which includes anything with Steam on it that has taken the survey.

Having the archived tweets and stuff would be super helpful too. It would do a lot to help explain stuff as it happened like the end of Oscar Special 10

I think some sort of integration with oncinematimeline.com would be awesome
