@AndreasmovedtoCodidact magical towel, that can burn spam. ;)
@M.A.R. yay!
Well you know what I like. :D
10:37 AM
@ShadowWizard some surf boards can eat the spam
11:03 AM
@SPArcheon-onstrike useful, but can they also become towels?
11:52 AM
Alas, I should be back laughing at the comment on the ps5 pro launch blog....
need more popcorn.
@SPArcheon-onstrike this can be arranged.
@ShadowWizard the clowns at Sony announced the new PS5 model yesterday. It is Apple level of bad.
Here ya go.
@SPArcheon-onstrike so you're going to buy it, right? ;-)
11:56 AM
basically now you have the ps5 going for about 399-450$ on average. Then you have the PS5 pro - which doesn't really address the real bottlenecks in the original model but adds AI frame interpolation (something that is known to cause ghosting in high speed action games... IE the ones you want to improve framerate on).
Sounds reasonable so far.
The launch price for the PRO model is 799. WITHOUT THE BLU RAY DISK READER that you have to buy separatelly and that thanks to [redacted] distribution usually goes around 150/200 $
So you pay double, and get a worse product?
so you have a console that costs you around 900$, the price of a decent middle level gaming pc.
@ShadowWizard consider that since yesterday, they have censored and deleted many comments - blog.playstation.com/2024/09/10/…
just worked for painting them even more as clowns since the screens of those comments now fill twitter & reddit...
PS: let me also point out that the "increased internal ssd disk size" is pure idiocy.
one of the good things in the original PS5 model is that it has an easily accessible disk expansion socket
So, you can just stick in any ssd stick module you may even already own and it will work. Installation process is like 5 minute, 10 if you want to also add a 10-20$ additional cooling system
To put this shortly: Disk space has never been an issue on the PS5 and if you wanted more... you could get more quite easily.
now, it is not even clear if they use the same module size on the PS5 Pro, so you can't even know if the module you got for your PS5 can be ported to the PRO model

@ShadowWizard I have never seen such a tower.
@SPArcheon-onstrike How cheap you guys got it. A decent middle level computer here would cost 15000-25000.
1:38 PM
@SPArcheon-onstrike supposedly better CPU/GPU no?
@SPArcheon-onstrike that's a pity indeed.
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact ah, because it's not a tower.
@JourneymanGeek Claims and Games Project Unity
@ShadowWizard Tower of woven textile walls wrapped.
hm
smacks @AndreasmovedtoCodidact with the fish that should not be named
puts the fear of god into @AndreasmovedtoCodidact with a monkfish
in the jungle the mighty jungle @AndreasmovedtoCodidact is smacked with a lionfish
1:53 PM
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact it can wrap spam and burn it with the smell of rotten fish.
Moor's law?
@JourneymanGeek Don't worry, they tried years ago. Cannot be done.
@ShadowWizard Oh, hey, like when my dad decided to wrap the rotten fish in an old sock...
Old used sock? gasp
Indeed. Used it as bait for the crabs and lobsters.
Let's just say it did not smell pleasant after a few weeks on the bottom of the sea...
1:57 PM
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact nor would you
@JourneymanGeek How'd you know?
common sense mostly
Who'd you sink to the bottom of the sea?!
No one you know. I think
All the lost souls...
2:18 PM
@JourneymanGeek I think gpu only.
@SPArcheon Do you really have a SharePoint shirt?
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact (kids chorus) Spongebob Squarepants....
@ElementsInSpace Yes, you can share it, too, when you meet up at the right point.
@ElementsInSpace ^ one of these.
And I got it from a later META swag that allowed you to pick a shirt you wanted.
furthermore, the post that got me to win the shirt also contained quite a dastardly prank at @ShadowWizard
they never realized, so I never had the pleasure to say "gotcha" to them.
The trap is still there though.
Maybe some day they will fall for it.
Or someone else will.

@ElementsInSpace you will get this. @ShadowWizard will look confused as usual.
4:30 PM
Replace cat with horse
Ehm
Goat~
4:50 PM
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact you need a link for Rainbow Rocks? Full movie is on the Hasbro channel...
@SPArcheon-onstrike I have seen enough rainbows now.

@Glorfindel RE meta.stackexchange.com/q/254355/377214: it'd be really nice if you closed it as a duplicate of the target I linked there. That question is the same but has better answers.

10:01 PM
@ShadowWizard sorry, no pre-ordering, I'm only getting you a pair of socks
10:20 PM
@M.A.R. From the right kind of shop, I'm sure he'll be happy...
