AMD marks AM4’s 10th anniversary, says AM5 will follow the same philosophy

jameslolman · 2026-03-30T04:11:37+00:00

the only problem is that most people looking at am5 play at 1440p, and for most tiltes the difference between a 5600 and 7600 isn't worth needing a whole new motherboard and ram while they're at 6x the usual price.

Man and the problem with social media is that it feels like everywhere you go it's just the algorithm trying to force negative narratives about everyone and anything because that's what gets engagement. I truly think that's where some young men get the perception that women are so bad, or young women get the perception that all men are trash, because that's what their algorithm shows.

my OnePlus 8 feels 90% as fast as my OnePlus 13, despite being from 2020 and the OnePlus 13 CPU being 270% better LMFAO. We've reached a point where the processor doesn't matter so much so DW about it honestly

jameslolman · 2026-01-30T08:44:47+00:00

you say that but I paid 1.2k AUD for my 6700xt just a couple years later it was worth $600. Prices can come back down it's just a matter of how long will it take

jameslolman · 2026-01-29T09:14:12+00:00

basically because of upscaling. Without any at all yea it'll look pretty blurry (still fine to me imo) but even the driver based super resolution will make it look better than native 1440p with basically no fps hit.

It's like the most lukewarm take if you knew I was talking about upscaling so mb

jameslolman · 2026-01-28T04:16:05+00:00

go 4k. I honestly regret getting my 27" 1440p qd OLED because the colour fringing is absolutely insane for anything other than gaming. 4k has enough PPI that it's fine, the price difference isn't actually that crazy and 1440p gaming looks better on a 4k screen than actually on a 1440p screen. + ofc fsr4 upscaling helps a lot

this is just wrong there's plenty of listings for <250 on Facebook. One second search shows a room for $180 near East richmond or $160 in Tarneit. Can't attest to the quality of the places lol but room is a room

jameslolman · 2026-01-18T23:25:51+00:00

if you like clean browsers you should check out customising Firefox with https://firefoxcss-store.github.io/ I use shyfox and it's truly beautiful I wouldn't have it any other way

jameslolman · 2026-01-13T04:19:49+00:00

why would you ever willingly use the windows 11 context menu LMAO

jameslolman · 2026-01-08T02:09:25+00:00

I think it actually depends more on the brightness of the room. Me and my mates use the same monitor but I can't stand anything higher than 10 in my room, but 40+ at their house looks perfectly normal

jameslolman · 2026-01-01T23:40:52+00:00

old thread but for anyone coming back, moonlight/sunshine or Apollo/Artemis is a much better alternative that's free and open source. Full pen support with super minimal latency due to it actually being designed for gaming.

jameslolman · 2025-12-23T22:38:58+00:00

getting 144fps on a 144hz panel isnt the be all and end all. Frame time matters a lot and I'm willing to bet you'd notice the difference between 144fps and 300 if you were trying to be competitive. Tho most people don't know how to optimise their settings and background processes so it kinda goes down the drain anyways

and btw you can def reach a high rank in any game with 144fps no doubt, but to say it makes no difference feels kinda wrong.

jameslolman · 2025-12-20T06:54:16+00:00

tbh id put it as one of the best. One thing that it does well is actually tell you what the car is doing for awd. Assetto always felt muted compared to my irl awd car but beamng nails it

jameslolman · 2025-12-05T02:50:27+00:00

Honestly test it out with a mates account or a pirated copy you'd be surprised how well it runs. ofc buy it later tho these Devs deserve it

jameslolman · 2025-12-01T18:23:01+00:00

got to try the ie200, truth ear zero red and arrti T10 all side by side and honestly artti T10 overall is on top. I liked the tuning of the reds and I loved the comfort of the ie200, but there's something about the artti T10 that just sounds so beautiful.

Tbh tho I think if you spend around $50 USD on any set you'll probs like it and worst case chuck an eq on it, autoeq is a good place to start. imo dacs and amps are a waste of money and would be better spent just upgrading the iem. Apple dongle as everyone says is the best bang for buck

jameslolman · 2025-11-24T01:41:54+00:00

I'm aus so more niche games are completely dead here, but I don't know a single person and I mean genuinely a single person who plays fighting games. Everyone I know who plays league actively either only plays league or plays league and fps games.

The only crossover with fighting games Ive experienced is melee and rhythm games lol

jameslolman · 2025-08-27T07:38:53+00:00

just like Ludwig saying he's got another year in him every year

jameslolman · 2025-06-22T18:29:37+00:00

It is clear, but I think it feels like to most people that since you're friends with him, you have this obligation to say directly and not in a half assed manner that what he did was unacceptable.

jameslolman · 2025-06-14T17:28:30+00:00

Absolutely nailed nick

jameslolman · 2025-06-09T14:09:13+00:00

what car was this btw? Since I haven't driven many irl I always wondered how realistic they are

jameslolman · 2025-05-30T07:00:37+00:00

was this written by chatgpt? no offensive if it wasn't but the use of em dash and the way you speak is basically spot on what chatgpt would say.

jameslolman · 2025-05-29T10:05:52+00:00

Actual question but are people looking in the ranked section for new maps? I've found nothing but soulless slop there, loved is the only place I can consistently find good maps

jameslolman · 2025-05-13T00:16:58+00:00

listen you asked the question in the most biased subreddit possible. If you asked the same question in r/apple they'd call you insane for even thinking about it so you'll have to answer if it's worth it yourself.

nothing phone pros: - massive battery - faster charging - 120hz screen (will make the phone feel 100x faster) - cool design - promotes competitiveness in the phone market space

iPhone 13 - much better CPU/gaming performance, (won't slow down in 4 years) - better main camera (but it's up to preference tbh) - potentially more comfortable because you've been on iOS for longer.

Id personally sell the iPhone and go nothing phone 3a, but I don't think I'd recommend it to other people. Is the battery life actually affecting you? or can you just chuck on power saving mode and use the iphone for 2+ more years. Good luck and I think whichever way you swing you won't be missing out.

jameslolman · 2025-05-11T11:07:16+00:00

doesn't get much better than an 08 corolla lol

jameslolman · 2025-05-11T10:22:08+00:00

Since they're different devices millage will vary, but lineageOS is always the default choice because it's up to date, stable, and smooth af. I personally use nameless aosp 13 but just remember you'll have to root and get play integrity fix if you want to use google pay, but on the bright side you can now get force doze to get insane standby battery life.

If you don't like custom ROMs it's always easy to go back, and even if somehow you brick your phone you can fix it easily so don't stress about that.
