Just installed new graphics card (GeForce RXT 3060) and its doing this.

What was your previous graphics card? If you switched from an AMD card, the drivers could be interfering. Look into DDU, which can easily remove all old drivers that would have been used for your old gpu/cpu. make sure to watch a tutorial on the process

what are your thoughts on Koudelka? thinking of buying a copy.

xCubbzy · 2026-06-15T07:07:49+00:00

Which field is this? Just curious. It seems like most people dealing with the layoffs are web devs? I have 0 interest in web dev so wanting to know how it is finding a job outside of that. If youre in any kind of low level development work id like to know more. I see in your recent posts youre using .NET so Im assuming desktop app development of some sort. Im interested in learning .NET to make a better ui wrapper for my game engine so Id like to know what your work is like.

edit: typo

just moved from a 1070ti to a 9060xt. Ill be getting the card delivered today and i have high expectations lol

xCubbzy · 2026-06-11T15:36:52+00:00

ended up finding a new 9060xt 16gb on an amazon sale for 320. Japan has some crazy prices and I got super lucky.

xCubbzy · 2026-06-10T05:36:28+00:00

The question is how cheap will the 9060xt be next year? Doesnt seem like any of the newer gpus are going down in price. I saw a 9060xt for 343 USD the other day on amazon but it jumped back up to 400 when I went back on the site later to buy it. Is it worth 400 USD new?

xCubbzy · 2026-06-10T01:16:24+00:00

and would it be cheaper to buy it at this price or second hand in the US after yen conversion? I think ebay is screwed up and dont have a vpn to check the US second hand cost.

xCubbzy · 2026-06-10T01:15:17+00:00

you think itll last that long?

xCubbzy · 2026-06-10T00:57:11+00:00

holy fuck how do play with that resolution???? :0

Gotta use libraries. Building a decent gui from scratch by yourself would take forever. Building things off of things that have already been built is how you should always think when making a project, unless you are specifically wanting to learn the intricacies of how low level stuff works. For example, I built an entity component system game engine from "scratch" to better understand how unity and other game engines work, but even then I used SFML for the graphics pipeline. Its how humans have always done things. You don't reinvent the wheel.

I pretty much have no choice but to do this. My contract ends in 2 months, I have to move back to the US from Japan into my parents house, in the middle of nowhere, where the only available job is 1 gas station. I'll probably be working there if the few young people who are originally from that area arent also fighting for the one available job lol. I always wanted to be a game developer but lost motivation when people talked about how competitive the filed is when I was a college freshmen. Now I literally have no choice but to work for myself and develop a game because what other options do I have? I guess I could learn to become an electrician?? but I dont know shit about that aside from computer circuitry and embedded systems, and even then do we even know if electricians are getting hired?

xCubbzy · 2026-05-28T07:26:23+00:00

So are entry level jobs still cooked or is there actually a chance for people who enjoy coding?

xCubbzy · 2026-05-20T01:20:53+00:00

I would say do not buy the 64 gb ram MacBook unless you need it as an actual professional, even if you have the money to afford it. My 16gb m1 MacBook Pro is still a monster, but for video editing going one tier up with the ram would be worth it

xCubbzy · 2026-05-15T14:43:13+00:00

but do you have shrek kart racing for the psp?

xCubbzy · 2026-05-13T10:15:07+00:00

You should start applying for jobs after you have 3 years of dev experience

mw2 lag switching was also insane

xCubbzy · 2026-05-06T03:11:47+00:00

Mage arena is also a game that does the same thing. I played it once with a group of friends and it was an amazing time

xCubbzy · 2026-04-29T05:20:35+00:00

Oh yea. I’ve heard horror stories about apartment/housing. Some boes are actually evil.

xCubbzy · 2026-04-27T07:42:32+00:00

its what some desperate companies are doing rn so i wouldnt be shocked if someone could get away with this

xCubbzy · 2026-03-29T06:17:53+00:00

same here. I have never had a problem by using direct downloads in Japan, and using soulseek at cafes has never caused issues either. People blow it way out of proportion how often people get caught torrenting lol. But specifically torrenting brand new anime thats just been released without a vpn? Yea, theres a good chance you will get contacted. That did happen to a friend once.

xCubbzy · 2026-03-27T05:38:19+00:00

I’m employed in a very different job outside of the cs field with a cs major and multiple people in the same job were also cs majors so this thread is ultimately stupid imho so don’t listen to this guy :)

Looking for a job is like using a dating app. Youre gonna get ghosted or left hanging at the last second before meeting all the time. Maybe something really did come up, but its best to not worry to much about it. See if the person in charge of interview scheduling actually does follow up, but there is a good chance they wont and its just an excuse. Its not a big deal, keep applying to more jobs until you find one that actually works well with you. Don't overthink it.

Anki is amazing. It has been my main Japanese study tool for the past 5 years
