Avid PC gamer, Linux convert, SCP fan.

Love Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic settings; Fan of the games of the defunct Arkane Studios. Listening to (Power-, Speed-, Thrash-)Metal, Gothic, Deathrock, EBM, Vaporwave, Lo-Fi; Classic and Musicals are fine too. Can’t stand Hip-Hop.

Owned by two cats, recently divorced, blessed with a personality disorder (AVPD) - pensioned (even the state has the opinion I’m a total wreck lol). This causes me to be unable to keep up personal connections and makes me ghost literally everyone, so if it happens to you, sorry in advance.

Chronically online.

Pro GenAI, but Anti-GenAI-Corpos; this technology should be available to everyone, which would only be fair since we all contributed to it. Datasets and Models should be under the jurisdiction of UNESCO, since they are literally the distilled cultural output of humanity.

  • That might introduce more issues than help. If high speed particles impact your shielding, you might get a “particle shower” from the impact on your electronics. Radiation Hardening is part of the design of the chips - mainly creating less dense structures with bigger transistors, because they don’t flip as easily as the very small gates on a H200. That’s also the reason why most space based computers have the processing power of a system around 2005.

  • I agree, the cooler block itself looks very much like the reference cooler that came with my boxed AMD 2600x processor, and the heat spreader of the cpu and the socket look like the ones in the pc i am writing this from, which is an AM4 system.

  • This really is the beauty of the fediverse: every instance has it’s own character, and even if we don’t agree on specific stances, we are still connected and it reduces the bubble effect massively. I believe this open discourse and the not-politial-motivated algorithm are the best way to reduce extremism, and if you don’t want to engage with a group you can filter it. @soggysandwich@piefed.social - if you find an instance which fits your believes better, don’t hesitate to switch, you can export and import your subscribed communities easily. Welcome!

  • I am currently playing Witchfire, a Early Access purely single player 3d Shooter with randomized elements and a touch of dark souls and extraction shooter.

    You play as a Preyer, an undead anointed by the Pope to hunt Witches in a war where the Church is on the losing end. The levels themselves are static, but the placement and types of monsters, treasures and so on is randomized - they change if you level up, meaning as long as you don’t do that, you can try mastering a specific stage. Dying is a lot like Dark Souls - You get one chance at a corpse run, but only your last death is recoverable. (It’s nice that even in death you keep progression-related items you picked up tho)

    I’m really having fun, the game has an excellent atmosphere. I read a part of their dev team are ex-Painkiller devs, and you can feel that movement & combat wise.

  • I’m the same with Roccat / now Turtle Beach. It’s not even their policies, but their hardware is easy to repair yourself if its a small fix, and i hadn’t any device die on me yet in the last 10 years where it wasn’t selfinflicted a.k.a drown the Keyboard in half a liter of soda - the second time; sadly the liquid reached the rgb-ic which shorted so hard that it melted before i could do anything.

    Their driver support for linux could be better tho (have to switch to the windows VM and use USB passthrough to configure). has anyone a recommendation for gaming keyboard/mice which support macros and multiple layers under linux?
