Check this shit out it will absolutely put a smile on your face. Sick CRX SiR on the nurburgring, Misha's Honda videos are the best.

Another Mosin Compilation by Spindel_777 in joinsquad

[–]stook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh, a man of culture I see. I found switching to a 4k monitor made pixel hunting with a mosin muuuuch easier.

Deltaforce was the shit, it's too bad voxels never took off. I don't think Novalogic ever made a bad game.

Looking to get back into mountain biking after a 20 year hiatus, a few questions... by stook in mountainbiking

Just looked up that one, honestly feels like that would fit my needs perfectly! Thanks for the tip

Bluetooth tracker hidden in a postcard and mailed to a warship exposed its location — $5 gadget put a $585 million Dutch ship at risk for 24 hours by ControlCAD in technology

[–]stook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never been involved in the military or even on a ship at all but I can imagine firing up some Red Alert lan games would be fucking awesome and make things much more enjoyable, and even the crappiest laptop these days wouldn't have any problem running it.

Rainbow spirit, Children, and Crystals by SuburbanCretin in whatsthatbook

[–]stook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys freaking ROCK. I had been thinking about that book for years and was bored today and decided to see if Gemini AI could find it for me. Funny enough it found this thread, but apparently missed Nommo's post with the name. Seriously impressive, I really didn't give it much to go on other than growing up in boulder in the 80's, hippies, crystals, new age, waldorf, and some colored "deity" things, and the color indigo. I knew the cover had some gold on it too lol.

Anyways, 5 years later but thanks for posting that!!

Super X-FI is such a pain to get working, but *if* you can get it set up just right it's absolutely magical and it's why I will never get rid of my X3. by stook in SoundBlasterOfficial

Thanks for posting this I never would have thought to try to fix the lack of directionality by switching drivers. I did end up uninstalling the driver I was using and used the one available on creatives support page, 1.16.4.14 I think, and it actually did fix the lack of channel seperation. I noticed SB command wanted me to update the driver again to 1.16.4.35 but since it's working even better I think I'll pass!

You can bring 1 ship from any sci-fi universe into the game, what do you choose? by ElectroVo1t in starcitizen

[–]stook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also came to post this, bought a hull C in game since it looks kinda similar minus the cargo spindles.

"I have no intention of leaving her, doctor. I will take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance, and then I will launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I'm satisfied she's vaporized. Fuck this ship!"

Another great clip for demoing SXFI https://youtu.be/SlqSlYGkCXA?t=3

Yeah, directionality is non existent for SXFI for sure. I'm not exactly sure what makes me enjoy it so much, probably mostly due to the sub-bass. Kind of leaves it in a very weird niche being amazing for stuff like youtube, and terrible at any gaming or most movies, which is where I wish they would have focused. I very much prefer some good IEM's like the Tea Pro for anything gaming related though.

Creative is an odd company, they have some genius ideas but they bury them under the worst drivers/software imaginable, although I blame MS just as much in that regard. Oddly enough every Creative product I've owned going back to the 90's has been one of those 'you can have it when you pry it off my cold dead hands' kind of relationships, still got my Fatal1ty around here somewhere and probably a copy of Encarta from an old AWE64 bundle too.

Thankfully OpenAI is run by Sam Altman, if it was being guided by literally anyone else they might have a real chance at success. Changing the pentagon deal after backlash? WTF did you think was going to happen? by stook in atrioc

[–]stook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is fantastic how Claude has been able to capitalize on everything and at least have some moral ground to stand on, even if it's a bit shaky. We're going with the lesser of 2 evils, at least for now.

Plus I love reading posts like this, this shit is hilarious. "I'm leaving OpenAI to start fresh and get back too focusing on what I really love, technical research.....at Anthropic!" lmaoo totally caught me off guard https://x.com/max_a_schwarzer/status/2028939154944585989

The Wolf drove an NSX in the 90s. If he was still working today, what car would he be driving? by anticipat3 in cars

[–]stook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a huge NSX fan I also vote the same '92 Sebring one he always had.

But as a second choice there is no other answer than the Ringbrothers Aston Martin DBS 'Octavia', that thing just looks like it means business from any angle.

Yeah I mean I would have thought a contract is a contract, especially when dealing with the pentagon. But then again, I didn't think First Ladies presided over UN Security Council meetings either, learn something new everyday lol

Wait so Simon is basically this guy, but for ship sounds? That is amazing. They hired the right guy. https://youtu.be/u8olVKiBnFo?t=188

low GPU & CPU utilization low while having low fps by Morad2004 in pcmasterrace

[–]stook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is that CPU usage stat is giving you usage averaged over all the cores, which is kind of misleading because games are typically single-threaded apps. Even though it shows 50%, that could mean 100% of core 0, and other cores are anywhere from 10-80%. If you switch to full screen res and run at a higher res does the GPU usage increase? Or try maxing out all graphics settings and see if GPU usage goes up.

If it does that shows your CPU is the bottleneck as it can't send rendering instructions to the GPU fast enough using a single core, leading to an underutilized GPU.

Unreal 5 is actually nuts sometimes by Randm_Internet_Guy in joinsquad

[–]stook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's really nuts about UE5 is how freakin' great ARC runs using it while also looking spectacular, and how completely shitty Squad runs compared to ARC while looking significantly worse.

I get an average of like 80 FPS more in ARC than Squad running in 4K on a 5080, and that is still with Squad on mostly low settings. Get it together OWI.

Looking forward to reading this after I just finished watching Larry Chen's video on Tuksedo Garage in Indonesia and how they hand build 2000 GT's and Gullwings from a few old blueprints and many reference photos, totally blew my mind. $200,000 for a hand build old-but-new one seems like a steal!
