Lol, I feel bad for anyone new to the pc building community. At least those of us with 10+ year old computers at this point can play most of the indie games coming out. I AM still surprised by how intensive some games can be when they look like minecraft downgrades.
Kind of funny story, I launched Stardew valley yesterday and my displays absolutely shit themselves even though my graphics card is pretty new. Turned out that nvidias stupid app had changed the display settings to something weird. I had to manually flip it back to borderless and that fixed it but at first I was like “how out of everything I’ve played is this the one having problems?”
Tx I’ll send this to bro that still thinks AMD is the one that makes shit drivers
My wife started Stardew valley the other day and we also had display issues trying to output 4K. Still had to max out the zoom and even then the dialog boxes are cut off until you zoom out. Unlucky
Probably not the issue, but if you’re outputting 4k, is it to a tv? I had an issue with a big screen having its own weird zoom settings (the old widescreen/cinema/whatever).
We’re outputting to a projector, but the UI is what’s actually cutting it off unfortunately. I’m sure there is fix out there somewhere with a game this popular, I just need to do some digging 😁
Unity and Electron. Make a simple game consume 10x the resources it should realistically need
Jesus, I had to do a double take because I thought the stick person had somehow trapped a little human inside a pod for their entertainment and I was so confused.
I’m still confused. What is the little pod and detritus around it supposed to represent?
I get the broken piggy-bank (and hammer?), not sure what else is going on…
Haha, holy crap. Hadn’t seen that. Thankyou.
Razer releasing a holo-wife is not a thing I ever imagined.
Do you really own it though? Is it fully local? Or is it based on some online slop-as-a-service provider who might kill your girlfriend at any given moment?
CES
You don’t need to read further to find out. Ed Zitron attended and called it the “Anti-Consumer Electronics Show”.
That formulation is by the journalist, I just copied the headline.
Nice
Can’t believe they let him in
No thank you, I like my women flesh and blood. Or if technology gets way better than I expect it to in my lifetime: thinking feeling beings capable of choosing to leave with soft bits.
Fuck this shit is sad
So youbare holding out for the physical Terminator version.
I’ll respect AI girlfriends when they’re self cleaning, same as real girlfriends
Like a UV system in the mouth?
I was thinking soap and water but if you’re nasty like that sure
Flesh and blood women taste better.
Yeah, but digital ones are byte size
Thanks for the context. I figured the comic was just ai slop itself…
Thank God, I thought it was analogue to the pony in a jar meme.
It would be pretty sick if I could shove a Cortana into it tho…
and my dumb ass thought it was a phone
I remember seeing a recent Kickstarter that has a sort of holographic AI friend in a “container” like that, and it reached funding far past its goal.
There’s also this thing by Razer
Fucking gamers…
I got the holo-waifu, but not the broken piggy bank, I thought it was a bong
I think it represents a phone.
I thought it was a verification can.
I thought it was an homunculus.
Maybe I’m not awake enough yet but I’m still not seeing anything other than tiny human in a pod
oh wow that domain----- sharkey, hm? ~
You see, the big mistake in 2029 was the person installing Windows. Now they can see the horrible data center right outside of their house. As they say, out of sight, out of mind.
You can pry my “double” slot GPU out of my cold dead hands (good luck trying to run away with it, it’s heavy as fuck and needs a supporting post)
Tbh, the whole card format feels very legacy, even for my Vega 56 “dual slot” card, and that thing “only” consumes ~230W.
If ppl back then could’ve foreseen what obscenely power hungry parts would be shoehorned into the expansion card format, they probably would’ve chosen a different approach for GPUs specifically.
iGPUs should have been a better option, but they were hamstrung by PCI conventions and graphics APIs favoring discrete VRAM.
(Just look at how x86 SoC consoles run circles around similar-spec PCs.)
I’m hoping that ARM is a chance to reset.
I do like the modularity of discrete GPUs though.
But a cooling setup similar to CPUs would’ve been better for airflow.
Modularity is nice — both for personal preference reasons and incentivizing-market-competition reasons — but it does come at a cost.
The thing is: even in our modular world right now, you don’t really have many choices. Two CPU companies, three GPU companies (two of them being the same as the CPU companies)…
We could someday have a world where PC hardware is technically less modular than it is today but consumers have more choices in the marketplace than they do today.
Kinda hard to do when so many GPU vendors slap their memory and power circuits all over the place. Even if the die is in the same place cooler manufacturers would need to test fit a bajillion models, and on top of that they’d need insane R&D budgets to keep up with new additions, sometimes coming years after the original gpu comes out
My concerns were more about the airflow path and less about actually interchangeable coolers, although those are a thing.
Like it just feels wrong to blast the air into a solid PCB… That’s kind of solved with flow through designs, but a tower style cooler would probably be less noisy.
I’ve been expecting socketed GPUs ever since the AMD/ATI merger.
There were many a meme of gas powered GPU’s back in the day. We knew.
I was joking about it being 2.5 slots, tbf most modern cards should be triple slots. Mine is 300W and it’s pretty chunky to stay below 60C, best option for big cards is a horizontal mobo imo
edit: unpopular opinion but I’d rather have a chunky card that stays cool as fuck than a slim one, that’s why I picked up the Nitro when I had a 6650XT
I guess we won’t do something about that, especially when we have the power in our hands.
Most people do nothing.
then, we accept what is not right, and people should stop complain.
It looks so ridiculously realistic that I can’t laugh.
Supply will catch up with demand. High PC component prices are a temporary thing.

we said that about housing since 2008.
something something ai bad -
eh whatever
i might have to make a controversial post again-
Maria dear i think this may be your one character flaw. Ai is a huge force for evil. It’s a tool. And sure tools can be useful but they way it’s being wielded is to the detriment of humanity. It’s not a cute novelty anymore. It’s not being used appropriately at any scale. I know you are fond of some of the silly and fun use cases. And it probably still has limited ethical uses. But as it stands the power of comput is being used for propaganda repression of people and genocide. To dumb and pacify the population and with the way hardware is going the corporate fascist may kill personal computing. It’s not worth discussing the good it might be able to do when it’s actively harmful to humanity and only helpful to the controlling and ruling class. It’s really sweet and endearing you are so optimistic but sadly it’s an evil world and the point of this technology is to serve the interests of bad people and any good it can do will be for their profit and control not for the lives well being snd freedom of all of us.
