what gives?

Skill issue

>spend thousands building a gaming pc
that's why I'm about to stop doing that. I can run everything worth playing on a modern iGPU through WINE.

I like watching the boats

Justify it by watching stuff on VRChat instead

>3060ti
>14700k
>still just play TF2 and emulators

>>718078961 (OP)
Hmmmm, maybe try out some new genres of games outside of your comfort zone? I spent literal thousands on a 5090 alone, but I use it to game at 4k, play Assestto Corsa and VRchat in VR (bigscreen beyond), proompt my nut material, and also thanks to how close my setup is to my bed, I also use it to watch pirated shows in bed. In my case, it's the perfect setup that I spent a couple years building up to.

You people are a waste of semen.

i've been rocking my 1070 RYZEN 1700 for nearly a decade.

UE5, dithered textures and TAA blur on one side, upscaling, fake frames and AI scaling on the other.

9600x+9060xt 16gb and I'm watching a youtuber play Age of Wonders 4 instead:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2riiVSOXRjQ

I have a 4070 and the only games I've played in the last two months have been Battlebit and Neverwinter Nights.

>>718082665
and the worst part is how many have no idea what their hardware even is. gone are the days where basically every pc player knew their system inside and out.

>>718082331
Because we aren’t broke third worlders like you?

>>718082665
I don't want to do any of those things. I just want to play boomer shooters and watch youtube.

>>718078961 (OP)
games used to be worth the expense. i regret buying a 5000 series GPU which is a first in my lifetime. i don't even want to play the stuff coming out and 99% of my gaming time is spent on games i could have run on my piece of shit college laptop back in 2008.

>>718085754
>Because we are retarded

Yes we know, no need to brag about it.

>spend thousands building a gaming pc
>end up using it as an AI machine & youtube watching with vidya thrown to the wayside
Well I could be worse I guess

>>718085831
You can play old games in meme resolutions now or whatever. At least that's what these fuckin dorks talk about all day.

>>718085831
but anon,
Super Mario 64
In 4K

>>718082665
I do engage in 4k gayman and while I don't care for AI I "get it", but why the FUCK would I just do 3D modeling?

>>718085971
>>718086052
you can but it doesn't add a whole lot to the experience. at least not for me. 4k doesn't do a whole lot when you're looking like 100x100 textures.. it's just bigger and fits my monitor without stretching, but i grew up with gameboy color and flip phones, screen size is just really low priority for me.

>>718086115
nothing, he's coping because he spent a lot of money

>nephews want gaymin pyuter for christmas
I'm conflicted. I could build them a new PC, or I could build myself a new PC and give them my old one.

I'm a bit too busy to play games because I'm taking classes to further my career, but I do get 3-4 weeks of free time between semesters (including summer semesters).

>>718082665
>Not use it to play 4K games.
Isn't hardware still too weak to play 4K(max settings) games at a reasonable FPS of 120?

Related to this: Has anyone else just stopped watching new movies and TV shows as well?

Last movie I watched was 28 years later (an absolute disaster) and then before that was only Dunc 1/2 and BR2049.

I know it's easy to just call everything woke, but every form of media is just so SHIT post covid.

>>718081770
i wish there were good boat games

>>718086270
>your first reply

they want to play fortnite and roblox, that's all

>>718086194
I agree, that's why I called them meme resolutions.

>>718086270
>reasonable FPS
>120
1. you can achieve that with DLSS
2. that's not reasonable unless you're playing games professionally or at least at the very pinnacle of performance where microseconds count. 60 (and not a single frame below it) should be the target.

>>718078961 (OP)
There are no good games coming out these days.

>>718086339
Eh, I'm just more busy with gaming in general, but while I don't watch modern stuff much I don't make an effort to avoid it, just be it games or anime shows etc. I got a huge backlog so... yeah

>>718078961 (OP)
Though someone had put a cat in a cage and tried to use a PSU to cool it. lol

>>718078961 (OP)
What would the thermals on such thing be like? Would it run cooler than conventional cases?

>>718086525
Pfft

I keep thinking about an hero lately
it's normally a few times a day but now it's a permanent whisper in my head
it won't stop

>>718086592
it depends on the ambient temp, cases are mostly used to prevent dust

>>718086339
Everything feels too "safe" nowadays yeah, not alot of studios wanna take a risk on a potential net loss on new movies.

>>718085885
You asked

>>718086525
not that anon but it was okay. didn't break my top 10. certainly not a game that i would consider to singularly make modern gaming worthwhile, not that any single game could. you would need at least 10 games that are better than expedition 33 per year to really make it worthwhile.

>>718086339
I do, but it's more browsing youtube and shitposting on /v/ while I sit in the theater drinkin beers.

>>718086525
Kind of crazy how nothing short of a 5090 will actually give you stable 60 FPS in this.

>>718086859
(at 4k)

>>718078961 (OP)
I use my TV to watch things, my computer is constantly running a llm although sometimes I stop it to play star citizen.

>>718086859
UE5 was a mistake. insane that the industry is moving forward with it and pushing out games that don't react to graphical settings and have the same FPS on ultra as on low. the QOL features on the dev side must be insane and make hiring H1Bs viable for them to stick to it so stubbornly.

>>718078961 (OP)
5090 and 9950X3D here and I mostly play gacha horsegirl game.

>>718078961 (OP)
Is this supposed to be a bad case?

>>718086387
Actually Modded Minecraft, Halo, TF2, and RDR2.

>>718086415
I want my walking simulators to smooth. 60 fps isn't good enough for me any more. It's why I'm sticking to 1440p.

>>718086525
you forgot to attach a picture of a good game, retard

>>718087060
only the best for gold ship

>>718087050
ue5 is an amazing engine that is used so incredibly incorrectly that it makes my cock bleed. if you follow even the most basic optimization guides by epic themselves, you'll quickly find out aaa developers simply don't. and i mean that 100%. you know the default shadow setting is 4 cascades, set to like 800 meters away? that means every single pixel something is made of is processed 4 times over for shadows. if you chop that distance in half, and do 2 cascades instead of 4, your performance instantly doubles. you know what nanite is for? huge set piece models made of 300k polygons, those are then broken into chunks, so when a wall covers 80% of it, 80% of the model isn't rendered. you know what devs do with it? they set nanite to yes on absolutely everything including rocks on the ground. those rocks don't get hidden by anything. that's UNOPTIMIZING.
