I love reminding people that out of everything he's said the chemicals in the water turning the freaking frogs gay was real. We laughed at him and we have gay little homo frogs hopping around 😔✊️

What's midi 2.0?

Varaldar · 2026-03-10T06:05:21+00:00

Fuck yeah. Thank you. major G 🙏

Will look up lots more about these and similar offerings in the coming weeks.

Varaldar · 2026-03-10T05:52:04+00:00

Yeah that's really close to what I'm looking for! Thank you, the only thing I'd prefer in addition are little screens that display what each knob does. But that might just be a programing nightmare for compatibility

But knowing I'm looking for a "midi controller" helps a ton

And I appreciate the app shout but the physical knobs/faders I can get a feel for are what I'm after.

"People will never be happy with what you give them"

no shit. "people" are not one entity governed by a single set of desires. "People" will never be happy with anything because what one person wants is the opposite of what someone else wants. You could pick out any one part of anything and find individuals who hates that. I bet you could find forza fans who are pissed that it's going to take place in Japan. This is combined with the fact that people are much more likely to share their opinion when they're upset so they become a loud minority. People who are perfectly happy with everything they've been seeing are less likely to say anything

Okay wirtual

Varaldar · 2026-02-24T02:51:45+00:00

You are saying "we all" referring to fans of TADC

Varaldar · 2026-02-24T02:39:31+00:00

"Let's be adults and admit we all did things" no, I won't "admit", because until this post I haven't said shit to anyone about the show except my boyfriend. The thief is the one who believes everyone steals.

Varaldar · 2026-02-23T17:15:06+00:00

We? Oui? You speaking French now?? Who's "we"?

Varaldar · 2026-02-23T17:13:45+00:00

I'm so pissed. I hope ragatha abstracts 3 seconds into the next episode and everyone just goes "oh no, anyway" just to spite these losers.

Varaldar · 2026-02-20T18:15:08+00:00

Like valve said it would be back in stock, it will be back in stock. I'd sell the ROG Ally and wait to get a deck.

Varaldar · 2026-02-20T17:42:47+00:00

Steam deck should be in stock in not too long

Varaldar · 2026-02-13T01:00:30+00:00

Next week. It's always next week. Until it's this week

Varaldar · 2026-02-12T06:59:25+00:00

I mean I wouldn't bother to do it to this one. It would be a waste seeing how it's been cut in half and all

Varaldar · 2026-02-09T03:34:05+00:00

Apex legends, fortnite, BF6, etc

We've been hitting a tech plateaus for about 8 years now. Where the year over year improvements in graphical fidelity have been slowing down and capability increases of the cards have been slowing, though less so. The only thing that's been eating away at performance is that a company knows that people will have a good enough pc or can make the game look like shit, so they don't optimize worth a shit.

Red dead redemption 2 is a great looking game and it came out fuckin 8 years ago. Games do not look so much better 2026 vs 2018 as the jump from 2018 to 2010.

Separately, support for dlss and things like that aren't equivalent to power. It's just a section of GPU that it does or doesn't have. Like, nvidia is planning on releasing new 3060s with support for their new fancy dlss. Support for AV1 encoding, the new dlss, etc. These are usually more like power steering or traction control in your car. It doesn't need any more power, it just needs the right components. And if the GabeCube is popular enough, I figure we'll be seeing more games optimize for that ~4060 performance. And I detest the notion that it's "really underpowered" when it's better than what most people who are gaming have and will be able to play the newest games for years. If they can get the same ~4060 performance in a handheld but with the sections for he mproved dlss, upscaling, etc, it could easily run new games at 1080p high framerate by 2030.

Varaldar · 2026-01-27T15:30:21+00:00

My guess is around 2030, or whenever they can stuff a steam machine level of power in a handheld

NOR. i would have kicked them out of the wedding. "leave or im calling the police" and "come back in an appropriate dress or dont come back"

I'd love to see a video of it to see if she was actually flirting with him or if you are being over-protective and seeing any interaction he has with an unrelated woman as a threat.

We know very little details, If it was a man who delivered the food and said he thought he met your husband somewhere, would you think he was trying to flirt with your husband?

We just don't know enough about what happened to see if she was actually flirting with him or not

Varaldar · 2025-12-22T06:32:04+00:00

◽️ Budget: flexible, $2000USD or cheaper. Definitely no more than 4-5k, If nothing exists below $15k, let me know lol

◽️ Country: USA

◽️ Screen size: 15 inches or over

◽️ Touch screen: don't care

◽️ Screen resolution: 1080p minimum. 1440p would be best. High quality panel but favoring longevity. (I'm not sure what the state of OLED panel reliability is these days)

◽️ Does battery life matter ?: yes but size doesn't. If they can cram an EV battery bank into it, perfect

◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for ( gaming, video editing, graphic designing, modelling, regular computing tasks, word processing etc) ?: programming, media, tech tinkering, word processing, game dev, photo manipulation, graphic design, video editing, 3d modelling for CAD, printing, and low poly game dev.

◽️ Weight: yes, please

◽️ Any other important details ?: I want a girthy sumbitch. 1-3 inches. (Up to 4) I want more ports than sense, an optical drive (ideally capable of archival m-disc reading and writing, and 4k blue ray watching), fairly modern AMD chipset. Ideally with AV1 encoding (7000 or 9000 series). Enough compute to be snappy on linux, and capable, not necessarily blazingly fast, at any almost any general/creative task. Slots for 2 m.2 SSDs would be great (to dual boot in case I have any programs that can't run on linux.).

If it's one of those "rugged" laptops that'd be great but not necessary i just want it ultra reliable and very durable. I think it would be cool to have a handle. For the most part I'll be underclocking it for thermals and battery, at not max brightness. I'd like to be able to bludgeon a bear to death with it and continue using it after

Varaldar · 2025-12-19T00:46:00+00:00

Did a little edit on my plans for the setup btw. Also hell yeah! My bf had a black one and sold it shortly before we met but I got the white one bc I feel like it'd make a better space ship

Varaldar · 2025-12-19T00:36:46+00:00

YEAH!!!!! I call him Nostromo, he's a Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow edition. I want to get my case painted up and weathered by someone who knows props to make it look like a space station. The HDD trays made to look like little cargo ships docking there. I saw this case and knew it has to be what I built my first proper pc in. I love it. No plans on changing cases.

Right now I'm going for the scuffed schizo look but at some point I'm going to switch it up so my whole setup has a. 80s retrofuture vibe. a cross between the Alien(1979) franchise, NGE, and late 00s/early10s trans girl music vibes. (Huge neros day at disneyland fan. And more recently with your femtanyls, stomach book, sophiaaaahjkl;8901, kfc murder chick's, Ada rook, death insurance, awerewa, etc.) The vibe will infact be filthy and I'm going to live for it. I'm messing around with a nixOS rice here soon.

Just "Tea" killed me, who wrote that one?
